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

“I don’t know what you’re even waiting for,” said the system.

Then there came another loud bang.

Amy turned to look. “Someone came looking for trouble, Father?”

Mag stayed calm. “Who is it?” he asked the system.

“Goodenia.”

Mag’s face darkened. “Can you make a new door?”

“Of course. 20 gold coins.”

“Good.” Mag put his chopsticks on the table gently. “Deactivate the defense system.”

The system didn’t understand. “Are you sure? The restaurant will be damaged.”

Mag smiled. “Yes. And it is them who will take the consequences.”

“It will be much easier if you just upgrade the restaurant,” the system suggested.

“I don’t have the money.” He turned to face Amy and smiled. “Yes. You can burn them with your fireball when they get in.”

Amy nodded. “Yes, Father. I’ll make them regret coming here.” Then she dropped her gaze to her food and pulled a long face. “They couldn’t have come here at a worse time.”

Sally put down her chopsticks as well. She was too well bred to show her annoyance. “Do you want me to stop them?” she asked Mag softly.

“No,” Amy said before Mag could answer. “Don’t worry, Sister Aisha. I’ll teach them a hard lesson.”

Sally nodded after pausing a moment. Mag may not be very strong considering the fact that he got hurt by a bronze boar. I’ll help out if things get out of control.

They can’t break through the gate, so they are at best 3rd-tier, Mag thought. If Amy can kill that boar, she can surely take care of them.

The impact sent Gabriel staggering back again. It was all he could do not to fall, his hands numb from the shock. Yet still not a single scratch was on the door. He was extremely furious.

Goodenia was taken aback, and also looked a little disappointed. This muscleman Devoe is always bragging about isn’t so strong after all.

Devoe got angry because his man had turned out to be an embarrassment. “Gabriel, you—”

“Shut up!” Gabriel said, giving his boss a cold, murderous look.

Devoe’s words caught in his throat. He dared not speak again. He was well aware of Gabriel’s cruelty; he knew better than to provoke him.

Gabriel was glaring at the door. “We strike it together, Johnnie. There’s something wrong with this f*cking door.” Without waiting for his answer, he slashed at it again.

Johnnie hesitated but for a second before he raised his magic wand and recited a spell. A red light appeared and turned into a fireball, flying towards the door.

Their attacks reached the door at almost the same time, and tore it into pieces immediately.

Goodenia and Devoe smiled.

Yet Johnnie and Gabriel looked confused; the latter walked in first, followed by the magic caster.

Gabriel brushed a piece of wooden door off his shoulder and narrowed his eyes to look through the wood dust still settling.

He saw a half-elf girl with two ponytails standing beside a table even taller than she was. She was looking at them with her hands on her hips angrily.

When he peered further insider, he saw one man and two women sitting at a table.

Johnnie saw them too. Such a beautiful elf! I should ask her out someday, he thought, his eyes glistening with desire.

Gabriel tapped his sword on the floor, smiling a horrible smile, giving Yabemiya and Sally indecent looks. “I thought no one was in. Why didn’t you open the door, you cow—”

Amy cut him off. “I don’t have much time for you two. My braised chicken is getting cold. Come at me already!” She raised both hands.
