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

After the dinner service, Mag's family of four had a family meeting as they ate hot pot.

Mag put the cooked duck intestine into Amy's bowl as he asked, "Little Amy, both Hope School and Chaos School are going to start in a few days time. Which school do you want to go to?"

Amy blew at the duck intestine gently before looking up suddenly and asking, "Is school going to start again?"

The little one had been learning magic from Krassu and Urien in the past few days, so lessons had already begun for her. However, school hadn't formally begun for her yet.

"Yes." Mag nodded.

"Teacher Luna isn't going to teach at Chaos School anymore, right?" Amy asked again.

"Yes. Teacher Luna is the principal of Hope School now. She has a lot of things to do, so she won't be Chaos School's math teacher any longer." Mag nodded and smilingly said, "But, she will continue to be a teacher at Hope School."

"Then…" Amy considered seriously for a while before saying, "I want to go to Hope School. I like Teacher Luna's classes."

"Daphne and Ignatsu cannot be your schoolmates if you go to Hope Primary School." Mag reminded her.

"It's fine. I can go play with them after school," Amy smilingly said, "Moreover, Jessica and many of my other friends will be going to Hope School. It will be very fun."

"Alright, then I'll go to Chaos School tomorrow to do the transfer procedures for you." Mag nodded. He respected the choice that his child made.

However, Krassu and Urien were taking up tons of Amy's time, so there wouldn't be much time left for her to do school learning in this term.

Hope School would be eliminating illiteracy first, so Amy's progress wouldn't be delayed. At most, Amy could have remedial lessons afterwards.

"Do you want to go to school, Annie?" Irina asked.Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn ɴovelꜰɪre.ɴet

Annie, who was nibbling on a piece of beef, quickly swallowed the beef in her mouth. There was a hint of anticipation in her eyes, but she quickly pointed to her throat and shook her head.

Mag furrowed his eyebrows slightly. He could see that Annie looked forward to going to school, but she was resistant to it because she couldn't speak.

Regarding the cause of Annie's mutism and treatments, Mag and Irina had already tried many solutions, but they were all not effective.

The system didn't give a reason for it either. They could only deduce that normal methods wouldn't work on Annie because she came from a Great Old One.

There was no phonatory organ in Annie's body, so she couldn't make any sounds.

At first, Mag wanted to get the system to buy an acoustic generator from an advanced civilization for Annie. Those that could be implanted in the body.

However, due to Xi's appearance, this plan was shelved.

He could still explain that the printing machine was dug up, but it would be hard to explain an advanced acoustic generator that was connected and used.

Mag had changed his plan now. He intended to establish a relationship with Xi and then try to get an acoustic generator from Xi.

The Elder Things' technology was so advanced, so their healthcare must be advanced too. It shouldn't be hard to get an acoustic generator from her.

"Annie, I can register for you first. You may go if you like, and if you don't, then you can go after we cure your vocal chords," Mag said to Annie smilingly.

Annie nodded after pondering.

Irina patted Annie's head indulgently and proudly said, "It isn't a big deal that you can't speak. Although many people have mouths, they never say nice words. They are not comparable to our little Annie, who is pretty, kind and draws beautifully."

"Yes. Drawing is a very powerful form of expression." Mag agreed too.

"If Big Sister Annie goes to school, you will definitely be very popular among your classmates. You draw so beautifully, so everyone will look up to you." Amy nodded her little head.

Annie's smile became more confident, but she still didn't express if she wanted to go to school.

After eating the hot pot, the two children played with Ugly Duckling outside of the restaurant while Irina and Mag cuddled in front of the floor-to-ceiling window as they warmed themselves by the fire and listened to soothing music.

"Does Hope School still need teachers?" Irina asked.

"Do you want to go and be a teacher too?" Mag turned around to look at Irina's side profile.

A smile appeared on Irina's face. "If I go and be their teacher, I don't know if I should teach them how to use a folding chair or use the magic caster's staff."

"I think the folding chair is a very powerful weapon and deserves to be promoted," Mag said seriously.

"There are still many talents in the Night Elves. If Hope School has the need, I can ask them to become teachers," Irina sat up straight and said to Mag with a serious expression, "I actually wanted to give the Night Elves an education too. Many elves have been doing manual work all along and they can't even speak the common tongue. They can't really assimilate into Chaos City."

"Do you want to get some Night Elves to be Hope School's teachers first and then let them teach the Night Elves?" Mag was thoughtful.

"Yes." Irina nodded.

"Hope School is always short of good teachers. There are indeed many talents in the Night Elves and they can become excellent teachers after getting professional training." Mag smilingly continued speaking, "How about this. You'll prepare a list for tomorrow and I'll go find Luna. I'll fix a time with her for interviews and then we'll discuss their training."

"Mm. I have already got Ashley to do it. I'll pass it to you tomorrow." Irina nodded.

"You have a tougher job than the queen." Mag hugged Irina's shoulders gently and looked at her with heartache.

Ever since the Night Elves were set up, Irina had been very focused on it. She struggled with the Night Elves for survival when it was first set up and she had tried to get them settled in after they moved into Chaos City. Now, she was thinking how to let the elves lead a normal life in Chaos City. She hadn't been able to stop worrying about them.

"I think it's rather interesting," Irina said with a laugh with a relaxed expression. "However, some of them might return to the Wind Forest. Sally is doing much better than I expected."

"Is something new happening in the Wind Forest?" Mag asked curiously.

Irina replied, "Helena has gone into a seclusion. She has handed everything to Sally, and Elliot, who was made to stay put in his domain, is beginning to have ideas.

"The first thing that Sally did after she returned to the Brewster Family was to remove Elliot from the position of chief and she locked him up in the castle.

"This move shocked all the big families in the Wind Forest and she now has control of the Wind Forest."
