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

Chapter 627 Don’t Even Think About It

“Have you heard? Boss Mag is opening a new shop.”

“A new shop? Like a new restaurant? What’s its name? Looks like we won’t have to spend so long lining up now.”

“It’s an ice cream shop that apparently sells exclusively ice cream. If we want a meal, we still have to go to Mamy Restaurant.”

“Ice cream isn’t bad; I really like it. Every time I want to eat one, I have to line up for an hour. Boss Mag is finally taking pity on us. By the way, what’s the ice cream shop’s name?”

“An Ice Cream Shop.”

“I know it’s an ice cream shop. I want to know the name of the shop!”

“An Ice Cream Shop!”

“What’s wrong with you…”

“I’m telling you, it’s an ice cream shop called An Ice Cream Shop!”

At the entrance of the restaurant, word of Mamy Restaurant’s new branch had already spread among all of the customers gathered. Even though it was only an ice cream shop, it had still created quite a stir. To those who really liked ice cream, this was fantastic news.

As soon as Yabemiya entered the restaurant door, she excitedly asked, “Boss, on my way past Ricky’s Rotisserie today, I saw a section of the storefront covered in a large piece of red cloth; that’s the ice cream shop, right?”

“That’s right. After the breakfast service today, we’re holding an opening ceremony. After that, the ice cream shop will be officially open,” Mag replied with a smile. He had asked the system to undo the censorship on the ice cream shop and to replace it with that red cloth instead. This was designed to maintain a sense of mystery around the shop prior to its opening

“There are a lot of customers discussing the ice cream. I’m sure business will be very good on the first day. I’ll go and help you out later.” Sally also wore a smile on her face.

“Yes, please. If all of you are going to be there, then I’ll have no problems at all.” Yabemiya nodded with a wide smile on her face.

“Big Sister Miya, I have to attend lessons with Master Urien this morning, so I won’t be there for the opening of your ice cream shop,” Amy said with a forlorn expression.

Miya smiled as she patted Amy’s head, and said, “That’s alright, I can eat a few more ice creams in your stead.”

“Actually, you can save it all for me after my lessons. I can eat all of it so you won’t have to eat it in my place. I’ll feel bad if you do that for me,” Amy said earnestly.

“You’re the manager, so you’re going to manage a restaurant on your own, right? That’s so cool.” Babla looked at Yabemiya with a hint of reverence on her face. Just the simple job she was doing as a waitress was proving to be quite a struggle; she couldn’t imagine what it would be like to manage a shop on her own.

Following the conclusion of the morning service, Mag bade farewell to the last group of customers before untying his apron, and heading to the ice cream with Yabemiya and the others.

There were already many people gathered in front of the shop’s entrance. Many of them were standing on the tips of their toes, trying to catch a glimpse of what lay behind the red cloth.

“Boss Mag is here!” someone yelled, and the entire crowd stirred as everyone turned to look at Mag.

“There are so many people!” A tense expression appeared on Yabemiya’s face. She had thought that there wouldn’t be many people on the first day, but who would have thought there would already be so many customers gathered? Furthermore, most of them were regular customers of Mamy Restaurant.

“Don’t be nervous, you’ll only get more and more customers from now on.” Mag smiled in response. He was quite pleased with this turnout.

“Yes.” Yabemiya nodded, and as she looked at Mag, her nerves were instantly soothed significantly. She also turned her gaze toward the ice cream shop obscured by that red cloth.

At the moment, only Mag knew what the ice cream shop looked like. After witnessing Mamy Restaurant, everyone was very much looking forward to seeing this new shop.

“Boss Mag, you’re overworking your staff! Ms. Miya has to rush over to the ice cream shop after slaving away at your restaurant; how cruel of you!” Harrison jibed in a joking manner, drawing a burst of laughter from the regular customers around them.

“You’re just jealous of her multitasking skills,” Mag responded with a smile.

“I’m definitely jealous. After all, who would be as lucky as you to find three exceptional waitresses who are also so beautiful?” Harrison nodded as he continued, “Well, don’t keep us waiting any longer! We’ve been dying for some ice cream!”

“Yeah, hurry up and open the shop!” everyone chimed in.

“Thank you for attending the shop opening, everyone.” Mag nodded to acknowledge all of the customers. He stood in front of the ice cream and grabbed onto the red cloth before turning to Yabemiya as he said, “Manager Yabemiya, let’s unveil the ice cream shop together.”

“Oh, yes.” Yabemiya hurriedly nodded before rushing forward and grabbing onto another corner of the red cloth.

“Three, two, one…”

Amid a burst of raucous cheers and applause, the red cloth was removed.

A white and blue snow and ice queen themed ice cream shop was revealed to everyone.

There were six-cornered snowflakes falling between two layers of floor-to-ceiling glass, as well as an ice and snow queen wearing a blue and silver dress and a crown on her head standing at the center of the shop. Snowflakes were swirling around her, and it was as if the entire ice cream shop was situated in a palace on a snowy mountain. It was grand yet intricate, and presented a sense of mystique that drew one in.

The words “An Ice Cream Shop” were inscribed in silver and blue text using an adorable font. There was also the image of a snow and ice fairy on the sign.

A cool and refreshing sensation wafted forth, making everyone feel as if they had been teleported into a world of snow and ice, thereby further stoking their urge to enter the shop.

“It’s so beautiful! I feel like it’s even more beautiful than Mamy Restaurant.”

“Mamy Restaurant’s design is more conservative, while this ice cream shop is more refreshing and adorable. I think they both have their strong points.”

“A snow and ice queen! As expected of Boss Mag, even a branch that only sells ice cream is so stunning.”

“Everything else is great, but the name of the shop… Isn’t it a little too carelessly thrown together?”Everyone began to discuss spiritedly among themselves as they looked at the new ice cream shop.

Mag didn’t really pay any heed to their discussion. As opposed to paying a naming fee, he’d much rather name the shop in a casual manner like this. Furthermore, this could become a unique series when he opened more branches in the future.

For example, there could be A Rotisserie, A Cafe, A Braised Chicken Shop…

“System, the drawing of Little Amy on the sign is very interesting.” Mag’s eyes fell on the image of the little snow and ice fairy on the sign. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that it really was an image of Amy.

“If you’re really satisfied with it, then you can choose to give me an extra commission,” the system happily suggested.

“Don’t even think about it,” Mag immediately refused in an implacable voice.

Mag pushed open the ice cream shop’s doors with a smile, and announced, “An Ice Cream Shop is now officially open. We welcome your patronage.”
