Daddy Fantasy World Restaurant

Kiddo took out an intimidating trident in her very first attempt and stunned everyone in the restaurant.

Gina was wide-eyed as she panicked. She turned stern and severely said, “Kiddo, be good. Put it away.”

Kiddo looked at Gina and immediately became obedient. However, she stared at the trident and reluctantly said, “But, I don’t know how to put it away.”

“Kiddo, didn’t it appear when you said ‘Manifest!’? Why don’t you tell it to ‘Go back!’?” Amy suggested.

“Alright.” Kiddo nodded before shouting at that trident, “Go back!”

Swoosh!

A golden light flashed and the trident instantly shrunk into a small dot of light and disappeared.

Everyone: “...?”

Was it really that sloppy?

“Alright, let’s eat. Don’t summon it at will in the future.” Gina gave Kiddo a piece of red braised pork. Although her gaze was still indulging, her tone was stern.

“Oh okay,” Kiddo answered innocently before chewing on the sweet and soft red braised pork happily.

Kiddo’s accidental reveal made everyone even more curious about her background.

Even though they didn’t know where the trident came from, that aura and presence couldn’t fool them. The little cutie that Gina brought back had a formidable background.

Mag scooped out a bowl of rice for himself before he mildly said, “Kiddo is still little, so let’s not spread what just happened outside the restaurant.”

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust the maidens, but their identities were special. They could get in touch with the true figures at the Norland Continent’s pinnacle. It would inevitably cause some trouble if they accidentally leaked the news about Kiddo.

The maidens were thoughtful before nodding to show their understanding.

“Little Anna, why didn’t you register for my class?” Mag asked Anna smilingly.

“The teachers said I can only choose one practical course.” Anna put down her chopsticks.

“So, you chose Shirley’s class and forwent mine?” Mag looked hurt.

“I can always learn how to cook from Uncle Mag after school. There will be no delay at all.” Anna blinked smilingly and said with a hint of craftiness, “And, I can learn from you every single day.”

“Nope. I have off days too.” Mag shook his head. “You can at most learn for six days in a week.”

“Alright. I can learn archery and magic from Big Sister Shirley on that remaining day.” Anna nodded with a smile.

Shirley scooped another bowl of rice for Anna with a smile.

“I think I’m almost full,” Anna said to her.

“If you want to grow taller to join Boss’ God of Cookery’s Advanced Class, then finish it,” Shirley faintly answered.

“Alright.” Anna picked up the chopsticks and tucked in.

There were only a few tables of customers during lunch time at Ducas Restaurant, which was beginning to fall out of favor. It was very different from their heyday when they had a full house every day.

The owner, Alva, sat behind the counter with a frown. He sighed and then walked to the back kitchen to ask Beate, who was staring at the stove in a daze, “I heard that Mamy Restaurant had released a new product yesterday. It’s a large yellow croaker that costs 5,000 copper coins each. Can you learn how to make it?”

Beate cast a glance at Alva and shook his head reluctantly and sullenly. “No one can successfully replicate his dishes.”

Ever since Mamy Restaurant took the title of the number one restaurant in Chaos City from Ducas Restaurant, Ducas Restaurant began to go into a decline.

Different from Mamy Restaurant’s constant release of new dishes and leading the trend in the culinary world, Ducas Restaurant’s old menu and bland food were being slowly deserted by the foodies. Even the roast pig that was once deemed as the number one delicacy in Chaos City was being slowly labeled as greasy.

Beate slowly gave up from his initial indignation because of the blows inflicted on him.

Now, Mamy Restaurant had become the Chaos City’s rich people’s top choice. They would rather line up for one to two hours than to come eat at Ducas Restaurant.

And besides Mamy Restaurant, there was also Mana Hot Pot Restaurant. That huge hot pot restaurant had taken most of the customers that Mamy Restaurant couldn’t entertain.

Other than that, many restaurants that imitated the Mamy Restaurant’s menu appeared on Aden Square. Even though their tastes were far inferior, they were full of gimmicks. They gave those customers, who couldn’t afford to eat at Mamy Restaurant, a place to try out the menu. They, too, attracted a lot of customers.

Due to all the factors, the current Ducas Restaurant would only have a few private rooms booked by the customers who needed a quiet place to talk about business. The spacious hall only had a spattering of customers, who were even fewer than the service staff.

Alva scratched his head as he looked at the slack chefs and staff members and clenched his teeth. “Our restaurant is going to close if we don’t make any changes. I don’t care what you do, but you have to learn how to cook that dish and then make it as our restaurant’s new signature dish. Even if it’s just a gimmick, it will at least bring us some customers!”

Beate wanted to reject Alva. The pride of a chef had prevented him from doing such a thing.

“You won’t be able to find another job as a chef if Ducas closes down,” Alva said in a cold voice.

Beate froze and lowered his head gradually. He mumbled his agreement in a low voice.

“I will cancel all the appointments tonight and you will go to Mamy Restaurant to taste how he makes that fish. Apparently, its cooking method is very simple.” Alva sized up Beate. “I suggest that you go back to change and disguise yourself first. There is a barber at the west of the city who is quite good at this.”

Beate nodded. He removed his apron and went out.

He turned around to look at Ducas Restaurant’s signboard. Beate’s expression was a little complex. He created this restaurant’s reputation from scratch and now he could only watch it deteriorate helplessly. He even had to go steal some other chef’s dishes.

“I can’t watch you collapse.” Beate strode away.

In the evening, Beate, who had changed into a black luxurious robe and disguised himself, appeared in the lines outside of Mamy Restaurant.

His eyebrows were thickened and his fair face was darkened. A thick beard had hidden almost half of his face. He looked completely different from his usual self.

Beate tidied his clothes carefully with a hint of nervousness. This was his first time eating at Mamy Restaurant. He really didn’t want to be recognized. It would be embarrassing!

However, he heard the customers around him discuss about Mamy Restaurant’s dishes with enthusiasm, becoming friends over a dish or having a heated argument over a dish’s flavor.

Beate felt very good about this pure feeling of meeting and bonding over a dish.

“It’s just a dish. I should be able to make it after tasting it,” Beate thought. He looked up at the restaurant’s signboard. One day, he was going to take everything that he had lost back.

“Welcome to Mamy Restaurant.” The restaurant’s door opened outwards and Mag came out with a smile.
