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

Chapter 1216: I Want To Sleep In The Same Big Bed With Anna!

“We hope to see you again.”

After sending away the last customer, Mag removed his apron, and prepared to go search for the lost courier with Miya and the rest.

Ding.

The bells rang, and Connie who was fully suited up came in with the insulated bag. She removed her helmet, and said with elation, “Boss, I have completed my mission and delivered the takeaway to the customer successfully!”

The restaurant fell into a deathly silence, and everyone who was about to go search for her was looking at her with a complicated expression.

“You have just delivered it?” Mag asked with a smile.

“Yes. And it’s still hot.” Connie nodded with elation on her face. This was the very first time that she had done something all by herself.

“That was really hard on the insulated bag.” Mag pursed his lips.

An order that was taken at eight in the morning, set to be delivered at five in the afternoon, only reached the customer at nine o’clock. Dinner had become supper. What a surprise that was.

The crux was that the location for the delivery was not even far—it was just next door.

“Big Sister Connie, did you go and break into the jail instead?” Amy asked curiously.

The rest of them were also looking at Connie curiously. What did Connie do in the four hours that she was gone? Even if she had crawled, she could have made a few trips within this short distance.

“Hmm… The house that they lived in is too big, and I couldn’t find the door, so I climbed in over the walls. Then, I accidentally got lost inside. Fortunately, there were many nice people in there and they found me. They lit up the walkways and gave me the directions. Finally, they got me out,” Connie answered innocently.

“Y-you really broke into the jail?” Mag could no longer remain calm after hearing Connie’s description.

She breached the high walls of the Bastie Prison, and got lost inside. What the heck… Was this delivery?

Yabemiya and the rest were shocked too. The Bastie Prison was notorious on the Norland Continent, and Connie actually went in by climbing over the walls?

“They didn’t detain you?” Mag asked with disbelief. Breaching the Bastie Prison wasn’t a joking matter. Stupidity couldn’t give her a get-out-of-jail-free card.

“No.” Connie shook her head, and excitedly continued, “But, I asked that mister to be my master. The Hairless Monk, the number one superhero in my heart since I was a young girl!”

“That actually happened?” Mag raised his eyebrows. It was one thing to deliver a takeaway to the prison, but how did she get herself a master?

Although the Hairless Monk had become the deputy warden of the Bastie Prison, he couldn’t have taken a stupid and ditzy courier in as a disciple the very time that they met… Unless his brain was fried?

Furthermore!

The most crucial was that someone in this world actually deemed the Hairless Monk to be their superhero!

“Why is your superhero the Hairless Monk? Shouldn’t your superhero be someone like Alex, who is handsome and dashing, brave and romantic, and a powerful knight?” Mag asked, full of doubts.

“Although Alex is also very formidable, I prefer the Hairless Monk.” Connie shook her head.

“You asked him to be your master. Big Sister Connie, aren’t you afraid that you might go bald?” Amy asked gingerly.

“If going bald means becoming powerful, then I am willing to exchange my hair in return for a powerful capability.” Connie nodded with determination.

Mag looked at Connie with astonishment. He hadn’t expected her to care so much about strength.

Even though he couldn’t understand why Rex took Connie in as a disciple, at least it had explained why she could return from the Bastie Prison unscathed after breaching it successfully.

With the Hairless Monk’s protection, Connie would no longer need to fear that she would get abducted in Chaos City.

“Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing the very first delivery mission. You received a recipe for the double-flavor hot pot as the mission reward!”

Right at this moment, the System’s voice sounded in Mag’s mind, and a glowing golden drawstring bag appeared.

The delivery mission was completed successfully. Mag was prepared to shut down this service on the very first day it was launched. He said to Connie, “Do you need to go and work at the prison since you are his disciple now?”

Since Rex had taken Connie in as his disciple, it would naturally be easier for him to teach her if she was shadowing him around. Hence, he wasn’t going to stop Connie if she wanted to leave.

He could see how much Connie craved power in her eyes. Her life story that she hadn’t told him yet had to be difficult.

“Are you chasing me away, Boss?” Connie stared at Mag nervously. Mamy Restaurant made her feel safe and warm. Although today’s mission was hard to accomplish, she had a huge sense of satisfaction. Thus, she didn’t want to lose this job.

Master looked at Connie’s panicked gaze, and was reminded that she looked just like a frightened kitten when he met her yesterday. He felt for her, so he smilingly said, “I will not hold you up if your master wants more time to teach you. But, if you want to continue working here, I can let you finish your probation before deciding if you should stay.”

“He didn’t tell me to quit my job.” Connie shook her head.

“Alright, you will continue to work here tomorrow.” Mag nodded before telling the rest. “Everyone has been working very hard today. Let’s pack up and go back early to rest.”

Elizabeth waved her hand, and ice crystals glided across every corner of the restaurant, and solidified all the dust and oil stains. Then, they were shattered and floated out of the restaurant’s door, finally disappearing into the thin air.

“You ladies go back first. I still need to go to my master. I will be back later.” Connie waved goodbye to the ladies after they came out. She got on her courier bicycle and disappeared around the corner of the street. That was her personal mode of transport.

“Father, I think this bed is getting small. Can you give us a bigger bed, please?” Amy, who was wearing her little bear pyjamas after washing up, asked Mag softly while letting Mag blow dry her hair.

“Did I squash you, Amy?” asked Anna, who was standing at the door, grasping her skirt’s hem restlessly. “Then, I will sleep on my side tonight.”

Amy shook her head, pointing at Ugly Duckling which was crouching at the bathroom’s door, and said, “No. It’s Ugly Duckling squashing the two of us. It’s too fat.”

“Meow~” Ugly Duckling made an aggrieved sound, and then licked its stomach.

“Mm-hmm. We should really change to a new bed. Furthermore, Amy and Anna are bigger now, you should be able to sleep together in a room by yourselves. I have prepared a big bed in the adjacent room. From today onwards, you two will sleep together in the adjacent room. Is it alright?” Mag said to Anna with a smile.

“Yes. I want to sleep in the same big bed with Anna.” Amy nodded happily.

“Yes.” Anna, too, nodded with a smile as she slowly released her skirt’s hem in her hands.

In a dark and narrow alley, Rex said to Connie with a serious voice, “Today, we will learn about stealth. Since you can sneak into the Bastie Prison without alerting anyone, it means you are very gifted in this area. You must have gotten the blessing of the Nimravidae totem. If you can master this gift, you will become an excellent assassin.”

“Stealth. I am the best at it.”

At the same time, a bat that was hanging upside down on a tree outside of the restaurant flew into the restaurant via a small hole in the back.
