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

Chapter 2281

Mag returned to the restaurant leisurely on his bicycle and when he passed by the ice cream shop, he saw a glow coming from the alley beside the shop. He stopped his bicycle and walked in curiously to take a look.

A small silhouette had her back facing the entrance of the alley. She was facing the wall as she chanted a spell. The magic wand in her hand lit up with a golden glow and then the glow dimmed. However, she still appeared rather resolute.

Mag stood at the alley entrance as he watched with a smile.

After a rather long time, a golden glow finally lit up on her magic wand and struck the wall in front of her, leaving a faint golden mark.

Jane smiled and put down her sore and swollen right hand that was holding the magic wand. After that, she wiped the perspiration on her forehead with her left hand and turned slowly but jumped with fright when she saw the person behind her.

"Boss?!" Jane looked at Mag and calmed down. She was rather shy and stunned as she said, "When… did you come?"

"I've been here for quite a while. I saw that you were absorbed in your training so I didn't disturb you," Mag said with a smile. He looked at Jane with affirmation and said, "You seem to be getting more and more familiar with the Holy Light Technique. Your practice seems to be going well."

There were very few light magic casters and ever since Jane was brought back from the Demon Islands, Irina had been teaching her personally. She was currently a 2nd-tier light magic caster and could cast elementary holy light techniques.

Not everyone is a talent in this world. There were more ordinary and hardworking little demons like Jane.

Of course, at least she still had some rare talent for light-type magic. On top of that, she was rather lucky to have met Irina, a great magic caster to teach her personally.

Jane blushed. She did not expect Mag to have been here for quite a while already. However, she was still quite happy to be praised.

In the past, all she had in mind was how to survive. She racked her brains on finding ways to live and would never expect herself to one day become a magic caster and learn how to cast magic.

"Jane, we will be going to the Boundless Sea Realm in a couple of days. Do you have any kin in the Demon Islands? If you do, we can bring you over," Mag told Jane.

When he brought Jane over previously, it was because this young lass was really pitiful and was also obedient and smart.

However, everyone would have a longing for family. Otherwise, they would just be floating around aimlessly.

Jane thought seriously and shook her head sadly. However, her eyes quickly lit up as she looked at Mag and said with a smile, "Boss, all of you are my kin. My only kin."

Mag spaced out looking at Jane's clear smile. After that, he quickly smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, go and wash up first. I'll be going back to the restaurant."

Jane acknowledged it and watched as Mag turned to leave when she suddenly said, "Boss, can I request something from you?"

"Hm?" Mag paused in his tracks and turned back to look at Jane.

"I…" Jane looked at Mag and mustered up the courage to say, "I want to learn how to cook crayfish from you."

Mag was stunned that Jane also wanted to learn cooking. He nodded and said, "Sure. If you want to learn, I can teach you any time."

Jane smiled happily and said, "Thank you, Boss!"

"But, I want to know why you suddenly want to learn how to cook crayfish?" Mag asked.

Jane looked down shyly and said, "I want to open up a crayfish restaurant just like you did previously."

Mag nodded with a smile and said, "Alright. Come over earlier tonight. You can watch when I cook the crayfish. Get an understanding of the basic process of how the crayfish is cooked. I'll teach you again in detail a little later."

He was very supportive of his employees' entrepreneurship.

It was like how he was very supportive of Rena opening her own hot pot restaurant and even could see her as becoming Queen of the Hot Pot.

Mag initially thought that Jane would want to become an outstanding light magic caster seeing how seriously she learned and practiced. He did not expect her dream to be opening a crayfish restaurant.

Of course, there was nothing wrong with that. He also had a restaurant and Irina was even the owner of a textile factory.

"Mm, mm." Jane nodded and blushed even more from agitation.

Becoming powerful was not something very attractive to her because she knew she could never be better than Princess Irina.

However, she was looking forward to owning a crayfish restaurant and welcoming guests, running the restaurant, and helping those in need just like Boss. That was a feeling she wanted to have.

Mag bade farewell to Jane and returned to the restaurant. However, he met an unexpected guest at the restaurant's door.

"Mr. Mag, you're finally back." Hydle was standing at the restaurant door with a smile.

"Mr Hydle, why are you here?" Mag got off his bicycle and looked at the Chaos School's machinery college vice-principal.

The vice-principal was almost bald. The bald spot had expanded even more. He was wearing a black robe and looked as serious as usual.

"I heard that you are intending to establish a new machinery college in Hope School and I came specially to have a chat with you about that," Hydle said.

"You get your news very fast," Mag said with a smile. He had just gone to see Luna in the morning and Hydle had already rushed to the restaurant to look for him.

Mag still respected this old academic. This type of person easily had the same image as some of his teachers in his previous life.

They were not power-hungry but were very passionate about technical research.

Hydle said with a smile, "I had nothing to do because it's the school holidays and I happened to be chatting with some old friends at Hope School and heard this news from Teacher Luna. I do have some other questions I hope to discuss with you. Do you happen to be free? Am I disturbing your business?"

"It's alright. It's still early. Let's talk inside." Mag opened the door and walked into the restaurant with his bicycle.

Hydle followed Mag in. He kept staring at Mag's bicycle and only after Mag kept his bicycle behind the counter, did he look away. However, he still asked curiously, "Is this two-wheeled vehicle easy to ride?"

"Mm. You just simply need to control your balance and it would be very easy to ride." Mag nodded.

"The structure did not seem too complicated. If it is easy to learn, it would be a very good tool to launch. After all, many in Chaos City are still relying on walking," Hydle said thoughtfully.

Mag suddenly admired Hydle even more. Hydle was right. The bicycle was a very appropriate mode of transport to be used in Chaos City currently.
