A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World (WN)

Chapter 1621: You’re The One Who Said That

“Do you always line up like that for your meals?” Sean, who was dressed in black, glanced at the line that was nearly 100-men long, and looked at Vanessa in disbelief.

“Yeah. It’s super fun lining up outside Mamy Restaurant. Look at the four long lines in front of the door. The two on the left are for eating at the ordinary hall, while the two on the right are for hot pot. On top of that, the lines are split into sweet and savory gangs. The one on the left side is the savory gang, while the one on the right is the sweet gang, which is the line we’re in.” Vanessa nodded as she beamed.

“Hmph. You’re forcefully pulling someone new into the sweet gang. The savory gang is the way to go!” Abraham snorted at the side.

“That’s not true! The correct way to explore tofu pudding is via the sweet way! The savory gang is blasphemy!” Vanessa said righteously.

“Sweet gang? Savory gang?” Sean was confused. Why are there even gangs when it comes to a meal?

“Oh, I forgot to explain it to you. This sweet and savory gang separation started from a bowl of tofu pudding. Tofu pudding with sugar syrup forms the sweet gang, while tofu pudding with pickled vegetables and sauce would form the savory gang. I think you would definitely like it sweet, right?” Vanessa looked at Sean with blinking eyes, as though she was saying: just nod your head!

“Mm-hmm. Then I’ll have it sweet.” Sean nodded with a smile. He looked at his younger sister who seemed like a completely different person now. She did not use to have any patience, and did not seem to care about anything before.

“That’s cheating.” Abraham sighed. However, he was also smiling brightly when he saw Vanessa’s proud little expression.

“Brother, how did your meeting today go?” Vanessa asked Sean curiously. She pulled him into the line quickly as soon as she saw him at the entrance of the restaurant.

“Mm-hmm. It was alright. We’re almost done, and will be going back tomorrow.” Sean nodded with a smile.

“Does that mean… you have to bring me along?” Vanessa’s face fell immediately.

“Yes. You’ve left home for so long. It is time for you to go home.” Sean nodded without seeming like there was any room for discussion.

“But…”

“I’ve been tasked with coming over here. If I don’t bring you back with me, His— Father would be unhappy,” Sean told Vanessa as he looked into her eyes.

Vanessa looked at Sean. It was no longer a secret that her first brother and second brother were vying for the throne, and the decision lay in their royal father’s hands. If Sean did not get into their royal father’s good books because of her, she would feel bad. After some hesitation, she snorted softly. “Brother Sean is a baddie. Hmph.”

Seeing that Vanessa did not refuse, Sean’s gaze became gentler. He reached out to stroke her head, and said, “When we’re back at Rodu, I’ll bring you around for nice food.”

“All the delicacies in the world are in this restaurant, yet I have to look for them far away from here. What a tragedy.” Vanessa sighed melancholily.

“Miss Vansa, are you leaving?” Randy, who was lining up not far away, asked.

“Mm-hm. I have to go home.” Vanessa nodded helplessly at Randy.

Sean turned to look at Randy, and sized him up with his sharp gaze. He squinted slowly and started exuding the aura of an experienced soldier.

Randy felt a little uncomfortable from Sean’s stare. This man was like a long and sharp staff. He had similar features as Vanessa, so he should be her older brother. Randy smiled at him, and then looked at Vanessa as he regretfully said, “In that case, I will have lost a fellow mate who can enjoy the insanely spicy hot pot with me.”

“It’s alright, young friend Randy. We can have the clear soup hot pot together.” Abraham smiled at Randy. “The clear soup is great and healthy.”

“Forget it. The clear soup is so boring.” Randy shook his head with disinterest, but his eyes lit up quickly as he said, “I heard those in front say that Boss Mag is going to launch a new dish today.”

“Really?” Vanessa, who was still rather upset, suddenly became alert. She looked at Randy with a glow in her eyes, and asked, “Didn’t he just launch a new dish a few days ago? I didn’t know Boss Mag is already so highly productive.”

“Any dish in Mamy Restaurant is good enough to become the signature dish at other restaurants, but he’s launching new dishes at a horrifying speed of one every three to five days. This fellow is a demon in human form!” Randy nodded in agreement. As someone who had roamed the continent and a man with absolute sensitivity to delicacies, the main reason he stopped at Chaos City was because of Mamy Restaurant.

To be honest, the rate at which he found good food was even slower than the rate at which Boss Mag came up with new dishes.

Look, did this seem like something an ordinary person was capable of?

“What’s the new dish?” Vanessa asked. If she would be going home tomorrow, being able to try Boss Mag’s new dish today would not be a bad way to send her off.

“It’s rather shocking. Are you sure you want to know?” Randy said in a strange way.

“Of course. And I’m going to order it. How can I miss Boss Mag’s new dish?” Vanessa nodded with certainty.

The people around in the line all pricked their ears and listened carefully since they didn’t have the time to look at the little blackboard. They were all curious to find out what the new dish Boss Mag was going to launch today that it could be called shocking.

Randy cleared his throat, and began, “The new shocking dish that Boss Mag is going to launch today is the roasted pig’s eyes!”

It was silent all of a sudden, and a commotion erupted following the silence.

“Roasted… pig’s eyes?” Vanessa’s eyes widened. All of a sudden, an image of eyeballs stacked up on a grill surfaced in her mind. She felt her stomach feel queasy all of a sudden.

The other customers around had almost the same reaction. Just the name of the dish alone made them feel sick.

“Roasted pig’s eyes?” Sean frowned. The name of the dish alone was weird. He didn’t think that someone would use pig’s eyes as the sole ingredient in a dish.

“Boss Mag… has finally started walking on the dark side. Not bad. I like it,” Abraham said with a smile, and even seemed to be looking forward to it.

“Roasted pig’s eyes.” Vanessa looked at Sean. A hint of slyness flashed past her eyes. She immediately put on an unhappy face, and said to Sean, “Brother. I’m going back tomorrow. Would you agree to all the requests I have today?”

Sean looked at Vanessa, and said with a nod and a smile, “Mm-hm. If it’s within my means.”

“Great. You’re the one who said that. No going back on your words,” Vanessa said with a smile as her eyes lit up.
