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

“But no one would teach me even if I wanted to learn, and I like to work here.
If I had to choose between learning swordplay and working here, I would surely pick the latter.”

“I would do the same if I were you,” said Sally.

Mag was very happy to hear that.

Yabemiya glanced around to make sure everything was in place and tidy.
Then, she and Sally waved goodbye to Mag and Amy.

Amy waved back.
“Bye, Sister Miya, Sister Aisha.
We’ll dance ‘spring is here’ tomorrow!”

Mag watched them leave, and then looked at Ugly Duckling that was staring at him with a sad face.
“Are you hungry?”

“Meow, meow,” it responded excitedly.

“I think it has had enough to eat,” Amy said in a sleepy voice.

“Meow!” Ugly Duckling shook its head vigorously.

“Give it a couple more dried fish, Amy.
It needs enough food to grow.”

“Okay, Father, but it has to run five more laps tonight.”

“Meow,” the kitten cried, dropping to the ground in dismay.

Mag fed the kitten, took them upstairs, and put them to bed.

He went back downstairs and walked out to make sure no one was around.
“You can install the door now, system.”

“Installation fee: 1 gold coin.”

Mag lifted an eyebrow.
“Installation fee?! Are you seriously stooping so low as to charge installation fee?”

After a little haggling and bargaining, he managed to get the system to install the door for 10 copper coins.

When Mag was about to lock the door after checking it, two men in red vests appeared.

“Good afternoon,” one of them said.
“We’re with the Aden Square Catering Association.
This month’s food competition is starting soon.
Do you want to sign up?”
