Chapter 1212 - The Prison Was Breached!
A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World
âDonât worry. I will be able to complete my mission,â Connie replied confidently before riding away on her bicycle.
As if I can not worry about youâ¦Â Mag sighed in his heart as he watched Connie ride away. Once again, he doubted his decision to keep her as his service staff member.
âBoss Mag, who is that? Why is she dressed so mysteriously?â Harrison asked curiously. Judging from that young ladyâs figure, she didnât look like any of the restaurantâs service staff.
âShe is the restaurantâs newly recruited takeaway courier,â Mag answered casually before he turned to enter the restaurant.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âFather, can I bring Daphne and Little Bean Sprout home to eat today?â Amy, along with Daphne and Ignatsu, came from the bushes. They took a shortcut back.
âHow do you do, Uncle Mag.â Daphne and Ignatsu greeted Mag.
âOf course you can.â Mag removed a dead leaf from Amyâs head with a smile before looking at Ignatsu, who was hiding behind and trying to cover his face by pulling up his collar. Mag saw plenty of footprints on his clothes and school bag and two fingernail prints on his forehead, so he curiously asked, âWhat happened to Little Bean Sprout?â
âHe had a gang fight,â Daphne quickly answered on his behalf before pulling Amyâs hand, and smilingly said, âFortunately, Amy came and kicked their a*sses.â
âGang fight?â Mag was stunned. They were such little kids, yet they knew how to have a gang fight? No wonder Amy came back late today. He thought it was Krassuâs extending the lesson.
Given Amyâs power, she would have no problem even if she wanted to conquer the entire school.
However, Amy didnât know how to control her strength, so he hoped that she had not injured anyone. He asked, âWhat happened, Little Amy?â
âSomeone bullied Daphne and Little Bean Sprout. They wanted them to give up their pocket money, and even beat them up in the alley. So, I used the Rebound Ice Mirror to bounce the magic back to the little baddie who led the gang,â Amy answered obediently.
Daphne quickly added, âThey wanted to turn Ignatsu into a pig head, so Amy changed them all into pig heads. Uncle Mag, Amy didnât do any bad things.â
âThat magic spell is only effective for one day. It will disappear once the timeâs up,â Ignatsu added.
âSeems like Amy is a little magic caster who protected her friends.â Mag looked at the three of them with a smile. He opened the restaurantâs door wide, and said, âOur three little warriors have just gone through a tough fight. Letâs go in to eat and replenish the energy that we used.â
âLetâs eat!â The three little children had a happy smile.
âOh yes. Daphne and Ignatsu, do your parents know you two came back with Amy? They will be worried if they have no idea.â Mag asked the three of them lining up to wash their hands.
âI met my grandfather on our way here, so I already told him. He said he would come to the restaurant to fetch me later.â Daphne nodded.
âI am okay. Anyway, they are always not at home.â Ignatsu shrugged. A hint of despair flashed through his eyes.
Mag knew that Ignatsuâs parents were workaholics. He couldnât help but feel sad for him when he looked at the cotton wool stuffed into his nose and the multiple scratches on his face. He smilingly said, âUncle will give you a bowl of tofu pudding. Your scars will be healed by tomorrow morning.â
âThen, can I have the sweet one please?â Ignatsuâs eyes lit up with anticipation. âI love the sweet tofu pudding!â
âOf course you can.â Mag nodded before asking Daphne, âWhat flavor does Daphne like?â
âI like the savory tofu pudding,â Daphne said.
âI want both!â Amy raised her little hand too.
âAlright. Go sit at a table after you guys wash your hands. I will make something nice for you guys,â Mag said with a smile.
The three kids went out of the kitchen to play with Anna and Ugly Duckling. Poor Ugly Ducklingâs face was squashed into a square and then into a triangle, but it continued to lie there, stationary.
Mag made dinner for the three children: a helping of Yangzhou fried rice each. He glanced at the clock, and it showed 5 oâclock sharp, so he began the dinner service.
The steamed fish head with diced hot red peppers had received rave reviews from the customers in the afternoon; hence, many customers brought their friends along to try. The sales were even better.
Mag left the children alone after the busy dinner service started as he was busy in the kitchen.
However, the children were very well-behaved. They went upstairs with an ice cream each after finishing the fried rice and tofu pudding. Amyâs playground was their paradise.
After a while, Daphneâs grandpa came to fetch her, and Ignatsu followed her home.
At around 8 oâclock, Yabemiya went into the kitchen after clearing a stack of plates. She worriedly said, âItâs already 8 oâclock, and Connie is still not back yet. I hope she didnât get into an accident?â
Mag, who was turning the beef kebabs, had a shock. He had forgotten all about Connie and the delivery after he got busy!
It only took 10 minutes to ride from Mamy Restaurant to the Bastie Prisonâs front gate, but she had already been gone for 3 hours. Wasnât it abnormal that she hadnât returned yet?
âHas Big Sister Connie lost her way?â Anna said softly. âI think she doesnât have much sense of directionâ¦â
âHow could she have gotten lost when she was going next doorâ¦â Elizabeth said, confused.
This was exactly what Mag wanted to complain about, but as he thought again, given that fellowâs brain circuit, it was quite possible that something like this would happen.
Of course, it was okay if she had only lost her way. Mag was worried she would do other even more ridiculous things. Moreover, there were still many orcs looking for her out there. He couldnât not worry about her.
âThe service will be over in another hour. Letâs go and find her then.â Mag took a look at the full restaurant. Nobody could walk away to look for her now. If she was really lost, then she would have to wander around for another hour.
âYes.â Everyone nodded, and then continued with their work.
â¦
A prison guard rushed into the deputy wardenâs office, and said in a panic, âDeputy Warden, the prison was breached!â
The Bastie Prison had never been breached since it was built!
â¦
âPhew, they almost discovered me. Why is this house so big? There is an entrance on the left and one on the right, and there is still such a big place after getting into the basement. Where exactly is the deputy wardenâs office?â Connie, who was wearing a blue technical jacket and a helmet, leaned against the corner of the wall and sighed a breath of relief as she hid in the shadows. After the footsteps had gone afar, she looked at the corridor that branched out in three directions with a confused expression.
âI am so tired⦠weak, pitiful, helpless⦠I want to give up so badlyâ¦â Connie mumbled with self-pity. âHe said it was just next door, and it would only take a short time. But, he didnât tell me where I should enter such a big house. I still have to climb over such a high wallâ¦â
