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

Chapter 1072 My Legs Are Jelly And I Can“t Stand

Drip.Drip…

The sounds of water dripping could be heard coming from every part of the restaurant. Water seemed to be flowing on the ground.

Cold wind, which could have come from any part of the restaurant, blew down their necks.

Their surroundings were pitch dark, and they couldn’t see anything at all.

Fatty grabbed onto an arm and tensely said, “Boss, I am scared.”

“There’s nothing to be… scared of?” Colby’s voice came from the other side. Even though he tried to sound calm, his voice was quivering.

“Boss, this place has a really bad juju. Where are you guys? Why can’t I see you two?” Skinny’s voice seemed to come from an even further place.

“Then, whose arm is this?” Fatty was stunned as he suddenly realized the arm that he was holding onto was a little too thin. Skinny was thin, but this arm felt like… only bones!

“Don’t be afraid, I am here.” A green beam lit up and illuminated a pretty-looking skull. It was smiling and talking to him gently.

Fatty blinked and stared at the skeletal arm that he had grabbed.

“Ghost!!!”

A scream rang out. Fatty threw that arm away as he turned and ran. He clashed into a door with a bang and rebounded back. He fell onto the ground with his limbs in the air.

The skeleton appeared behind him, and again smilingly said, “Here I come, Bro.”

“Don’t… Don’t come over now! Boss! Boss, help!!!”

Fatty was so spooked that all his flesh was trembling. He shrieked for help as he crawled to the side.

He had never seen a talking skeleton in his life before. This was simply too terrifying!

“Where are you, Fatty? What are you screaming for?” Colby’s surroundings were still pitch black. He could hear that Fatty was close to him, but he couldn’t see where he was.

The dripping sounds became faster and faster, and some water droplets began to fall on him as if it was raining.

This dilapidated house is leaking. Colby frowned and waved his hands around. A water droplet fell onto his lips, and he poked his tongue out to lick it.

It’s salty?

His eyebrows furrowed. This shouldn’t be rainwater. Furthermore, it wasn’t raining outside before they came in.

Seems like this dilapidated house is indeed quirky. Colby grasped his longsword tightly. He was separated from Fatty and Skinny the moment he stepped in. Even though he could hear their voices, he couldn’t sense where they were.

Fatty’s screams were right by his ears, but he couldn’t differentiate the direction that they came from. Neither did he know what had happened that freaked him out.

Right at this moment, somebody patted his shoulders from the back.

“Skinny, you…” Colby whirled around, but his eyes widened in an instant.

A ghastly pale face appeared about one centimeter away from his own in total silence, and they stared at each other. That was a pair of glowing dead fish eyes. The loose hair was as messy as kelp and dripping water onto the floor.

A strong stench washed all over him. It smelled like rotting fish, which was nauseating.

“What the heck is this?!”

Colby was shocked, and he swung this longsword forward subconsciously.

That figure disappeared instantly, and the longsword struck empty air.

The surroundings were engulfed in darkness again. If it weren’t for the lingering stench in the air, the previous scene could seem to have never happened.

The water droplets became bigger and bigger, and strong wind began to blow. There was a strong fishy smell in the wind, and sounds of waves could be heard vaguely.

“Stop all these tricks! Come out and fight with me if you are good. These nonsensical tricks are not skills! Come out! Come out!” Colby swung his longsword around haphazardly as he hacked at his surroundings aimlessly, but he didn’t hit anything as all his strikes had hit nothing.

This is impossible! This restaurant isn’t big, and it is full of tables and chairs! How can I not hit anything! Colby’s heart sank.

At first, he thought these were all illusions created by magic casters to scare away inexperienced thieves, but looking at the situation now, it wasn’t as simple as he thought.

On the other side, the scenery in front of Skinny had changed. He discovered that he was already sitting in a small boat floating on the sea.

The surroundings were pitch black and a storm was raging. The little boat was just like a leaf tossed around on the sea, and it seemed like it could be capsized by the next wave anytime.

Skinny grasped the edges of the boat tightly in panic, and shouted, “What… What is this? Didn’t we enter into a restaurant? How did I end up in the sea! I… I can’t swim…”

“Aiyoh!”

Right at this moment, a shout came from above. A fat figure dropped down from the sky with a plop and landed in the boat. He shook up the little boat so badly that it almost capsized.

“You are here too, Fatty.” Skinny gasped as he looked at the person who fell from the sky.

Fatty, who was badly shaken by the fall, opened his eyes when he heard the voice. He saw Skinny right in front of him, and he hugged him immediately and cried, “Skinny! It’s so nice to see you! There was a skeleton chasing me, and it scared the living lights out of me!”

“Yes. It’s so damn terrifying,” a frightened voice spoke up right behind him.

Fatty’s expression froze in that instant. He turned around and saw the skeleton sitting at the head of the boat, patting its chest.

“F*ck you!”

Skinny lifted his leg and kicked that skeleton into the sea.

Plop, and it disappeared amidst the waves immediately.

Fatty spaced out for quite a while before he gave Skinny a thumbs-up, and wholeheartedly praised, “Skinny, you are awesome.”

“Give me a hand. My legs are jelly and I can’t stand.” Skinny retrieved his leg and slumped into Fatty’s arms directly. “What the hell was that ghastly thing? It scared the living lights out of me.”

“Help me up.”

A voice appeared from the sky at this time again. Before Fatty and Skinny could react, a figure had already crashed into them.

The three of them lay down in the boat to catch their breath.

“What do we do now, Boss? How did we end up in the sea in such a small boat? A single wave can capsize it,” Fatty said desperately.

Colby looked at his surroundings and said in a deep voice, “Don’t panic. This must be just a magic caster’s illusions. As long as we try our best, we will be able to find—”

“Whoosh…”

Before Colby could even finish talking, a huge wave crashed into them and drenched them all over.

“This water is salty! This is real seawater!”

“We are doomed. This really is the sea! There is water in the boat! Quick, scoop the water out!”

Fatty and Skinny shouted in a panic, and began scooping out the water with their hands crazily.

Colby stared at the head with dishevelled hair that just appeared on the surface of the sea, and his face began to twitch.

It’s here again!

“Hahaha. This is so fun! Give me two more basins of water. I want to splash them again!”

Amy and Anna were holding onto a bucket each, laughing away happily.
