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

"What's up?" Amy asked as she sucked on the soup dumpling.

Annie also put down her chopsticks and looked at Mag.

Mag flicked a glance at Irina before saying with a smile, "Your mother and I will have to go on a trip. I will ask Big Sister Miya and Big Sister Xixi to take care of you two for the time being. Is that alright?"

"A-are you guys going to save the world too?" Amy looked up suddenly with anticipation and panic in her eyes.

"Yes. When the world needs us, it's also the time for us to stand out to rescue it." Mag nodded with a smile.

"What about me? Little Amy is very formidable now. Can I go save the world too?" Amy asked expectantly.

"Not now, Little Amy. You're still too small. You have to wait until you have grown up."

"How old do I have to be considered as a grown-up." Amy pursued on.

"You have to wait until you are 18 years old. Little Amy can decide what you want to do for yourself by then because you'll be a grown-up." Mag reached out to pat the little one's head with a smile, Her soft golden hair was smooth as a kitten.

"18 years old?" Amy was thoughtful.

"When will you guys return?" Annie asked with sign language. There was a hint of worry in her clear eyes.New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novelenglish.net . Firᴇ(.)nᴇt

"We'll be back when you finish drawing "Miss Black Cat'." Mag said to Annie. He had seen the first draft of "Miss Black Cat" that Annie drew last night and it looked quite good. Miss Vicki would love it if she saw it.

Annie nodded obediently. She revealed a comforting smile and used sign language to indicate that she would take care of Amy.

"Wear these two little stones on you at all times. Do not remove it no matter what. Do you understand?" Irina took out two pinky-sized blue crystal necklaces and put them around Annie and Amy's necks.

"What's this?" Amy touched that smooth and warm crystal.

"This is a protective amulet. It will protect you guys when we are not around." Irina looked at Amy with indulgence. She couldn't help feeling guilty.

From the time Amy was born till now, she had spent very little time with her. She had spent the majority of her time with the Night Elves even after they found each other. She simply didn't spend enough time with Amy.

The little one was also so understanding and never asked for more.

And because of that, it made her heart ache even more.

After this incident was over, she would definitely spend more time with her and watch her grow up.

"Oh. It's so pretty." Amy retracted her gaze and looked at Mag and Irina as she said with a serious expression, "Then… you guys must come back early. Come back as soon as you finish beating up the bad guys. Little Amy and Big Sister Annie will wait for you two to come back for a meal."

"Sure. Little Amy and Annie are the best." Mag felt choked up as he nodded with a smile.

After breakfast, Mag went to the magic potion shop next door with two roujiamos and one steamer of soup dumplings.

The shop's door was open and Xixi, who had just begun to look pregnant, was packing Lulu's luggage for him.

Mag looked at Lulu's bulky luggage and the big iron hammer at the side and asked with surprise, "Are you preparing for a trip?"

"I'm going to make weapons." Lulu smiled bashfully.

"Boss Mag." Xixi greeted Mag. She only continued talking after she finished packing the luggage, "We saw the city lord's castle's summoning order, so Lulu intends to join the Chaos City's weapon factory with Master Mobai. He may even have to go to the north."

"Let's go, Lulu!" Mobai's energetic voice sounded at the door. He poked his head in and saw Mag. He exclaimed, "Boss Mag? You're back."

"Yes. I just came back recently." Mag nodded.

Looking at Mobai, who was carrying a simple luggage and a heavy hammer, and Lulu, who was leaving his pregnant wife behind to report to the weapon factory, Mag couldn't help but feel touched.

"It's a pity. Seems like I can only eat your rainbow fried rice after I complete this task." Mobai laughed heartily.

"It's fine. I can always wait for you guys to return. There will definitely be enough fried rice to go around." Mag nodded with a smile.

Lulu looked at Xixi and patted her head lingeringly before crouching down to kiss her stomach gently.

Xixi tiptoed and reached out to caress his face before gently saying, "Be safe. The baby and I will wait for you to return."

Lulu nodded bashfully and said, "Then… I'll go now."

"Hmm. Don't worry, I'll take care of myself." Xixi nodded.

Lulu carried his heavy hammer on his shoulder, carried his luggage with one hand and said to Mag, "Goodbye, Boss Mag."

"I don't have good liquor to send off you warriors. I only have two roujiamos. Take care, both of you." Mag gave one roujiamo each to Mobai and Lulu.

"Drinking botches up matters. Roujiamo is good enough!" Mobai laughed heartily. He took a bite of the roujiamo right away and nodded with satisfaction. "This tastes much better than liquor! Goodbye!"

"Thank you," Lulu said. He flicked a glance at Xixi and quickly caught up with Mobai.

One tall man and one short man, carrying equally heavy hammers on their shoulders, walked away in the morning sun as they ate their roujiamos.

Xixi pursed her lips. Tears eventually fell as she watched Lulu's back.

"This is your breakfast." Mag gave her the soup dumplings and a hanky as well.

"Thank you." Xixi turned around to wipe her tears away before taking the soup dumplings from Mag with a smile. She looked at Mag with surprise. "Why are you sending us breakfast all of a sudden, Boss Mag?"

Although they had a good neighborly relationship and Annie always brought breakfast for her, this was the first time that Mag brought breakfast for her personally.

"It's cold out here. Let's go in and talk as you eat," Mag said smilingly as he looked at Xixi's protruding stomach.

"Alright." Xixi went into the potion shop with the dumplings.

"I would like to ask you and Miya to babysit the children for a few days. I need to go on a trip." Mag sat across from Xixi and got straight to the point.

Hearing that, Xixi looked at Mag with shock. "Are you going on a long trip? It's not safe recently. Where are you going, Boss Mag?"

"Even Lulu can leave his pregnant wife behind to work in the weapon factory at the frontline. Although I don't have any outstanding skills, my culinary skills are not bad. Perhaps, I can go cook for the warriors at the frontline," Mag said with a smile.

"This…" Xixi was stunned. She looked at Mag, who had a determined gaze, with a new found respect and nodded. "Sure. Just go and leave the children to us."

"Thank you." Mag nodded and smiled. He stood up and placed a bunch of keys on the table. "If there's trouble, please go hide in the restaurant with the children. I asked Princess Irina to set up a few spell formations there, so the restaurant should be the safest place in Chaos City."
