Chapter 1326 - Do You Need To Be So Afraid Over The Killing Of Some Demon Scum?
A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World
âHuh?â
Magâs eyes lit up. He didnât expect there would be two reproductive crayfish among those caught by these demon fishermen. They could be considered as a bonus.
The core of the crayfish-catching mission was to catch that 100 reproductive crayfish. If he could catch all 100 of them in advance, he wouldnât have to catch the rest of the 300,000 crayfish, and the mission would be considered completed.
âI will be purchasing the crayfish for 50 copper coins each for the long term. You can deliver the crayfish to my restaurant directly whenever you catch them. I will purchase them collectively at 8am and 4.30pm. I wonât accept if you deliver them at other timings. The restaurantâs addressâ¦â
Mag told the fishermen the restaurantâs address. As he factored in the time and effort needed to go to the port to purchase the crayfish, he decided to let the fishermen deliver the goods directly to him at the restaurant.
Regarding that, the fishermen didnât have any objections. They only wanted to return to the beach to look for more crayfish after collecting their money. The price of 50 copper coins each was enough to make the fishermen crazy.
Mag found a strapping demon to help him carry the 300 crayfish back by paying him 20 copper coins.
âAre we going to start selling crayfish by noon?â Irina asked Mag as she watched him pour the crayfish into the big pond at the corner of the yard.
âYes. I estimate there would be an endless supply of crayfish coming to us. The pond wouldnât be able to accommodate them if I donât start selling them.â Mag nodded. The 300 crayfish took out almost half of the pondâafter all, they were about 1 kg each.
âAre you able to manage on your own?â Irina asked doubtfully. After all, they had so many service staff members at Mamy Restaurant.
âThis is indeed a problem.â Mag was taken aback, and he looked at Irina.
âIâve never served people. Iâm afraid I will act up as soon as they speak,â Irina said calmly. âBut if you think I could, I donât mind giving it a try.â
âLetâs forget it. You just be the lady boss who collects the money.â Mag quickly rejected her. Given Irinaâs temperament, if she acted up, it would be a bloodbath, and the restaurant would be out of business.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHey, whatâs that?â Amy, who was running around in the yard with Ugly Duckling, suddenly pointed at a fake mountain decoration in a corner of the yard.
Mag and Irina looked over that simultaneously. An edge of a dress appeared behind the rock and quickly went back.
âCome out,â Irina ordered coldly.
After a moment of silence, a thin and weak figure stood up in the midst of the fake mountains. She was wearing a long black shirt with an uneven black cloth wrapped around her face. Her clothes were dyed brownish-red by blood, and she was grasping a razor-sharp stone with her muddy hands. Her entire body was trembling.
âShe is?â Mag found that unicorn demon maiden a little familiar.
âWhat are you doing here?â Irina asked that unicorn demon coldly with a hint of surprise in her gaze too. Wasnât that the demon maiden that sheâd rescued in the morning?
Jane looked at Irina, and the fear in her eyes was replaced by astonishment. What a beautiful demoness. She had never seen such a beautiful demon. Even the most beautiful succubus big sister wasnât even 10% as beautiful as this big sister.
But she soon regained her wits to realize her current situation. She could be killed immediately for home invasion on Carapace Island. The Ten Kings Palace wouldnât care about someone like her who wasnât from a powerful tribe and was without an identity.
After that incident in the morning, she had been running around in a panic. She encountered the Ten Kings Palaceâs patrol team when she was in this area, and she ran into this courtyard to hide in her trepidation. She had intended to leave after the patrol team was gone, but she didnât expect the owners would return and discover her.
Jane lowered her head and said, âI-I am Jane, a unicorn demon. Iâve entered your courtyard accidentally and offended you. I promise I meant no harm, please forgive my transgression.â
She was still grasping the stone tightly. She at least had to resist if someone tried to kill her.
âYou have killed a demon?â Irina asked her coldly.
âI-I didnâtâ¦â Janeâs face paled instantly. Facing Irinaâs cold gaze, she shook her head, and said in a choked up voice, âI didnât kill them. They were trying to violate me. I donât know who killed them. I didnât see his looks, but Iâm very grateful to him. He saved me.â
âItâs her?â Mag only remembered her at that moment. This demon maiden was the one that Irina had saved that morning. However, he only had taken a brief glance in the morning, and hadnât taken a closer look. He hadnât expected to see her at home again.
âDo you need to be so afraid over the killing of some demon scum? So what if you had killed them?â A faint smile appeared on Irinaâs face, and she began to look at Jane with interest in her eyes. This girl was rather interesting. Although she was pathetically weak, she wasnât an ungrateful demon.
âB-but they all had protective amulets on them. If the Ten Kings Palace found out about me, theyâre not going to let me off⦠even when Iâm not the murderer,â Jane said fearfully. To her, the Ten Kings Palace was the scariest and most powerful force in this world.
âTheyâre scum protected by scum. So what if theyâre killed.â Irina shook her head, and said to Jane, âTake the cloth off your face and let me have a look.â
Jane wasnât used to Irinaâs words. The Ten Kings Palace was the absolute ruler on Carapace Island, but this beautiful big sister was afraid of them at all. However, looking at Irina, she had an unexplainable sense of trust in her. She removed the tattered cloth on her face after some hesitation.
There was blood and minor cuts on her face, but they could still see her pretty features. Her shoulder-length silver hair was matted by blood too. There was a light golden horn about 5 cm long with pinkish-gold swirls, which looked very exquisite, at the center of her forehead.
âHow old are you?â Irina asked.
â13.â
âIs there anyone else in your family?â
âMy mother died 10 days ago⦠I have no family leftâ¦â
âAre you a fast worker?â
âIâm very fast when Iâm picking the seashells. Iâm faster than everyone.â
Irina nodded with satisfaction before saying, âVery good. Then you will stay here. Youâre the employee of our restaurant from today onwards. You will be provided with food, lodging, and salary.â
âHuh?â
Both Jane and Mag were taken aback.
âStay? I can stay here, and I will be provided with food and salary?â Jane looked at Irina and felt as if she had heard things wrong. This beautiful big sister didnât pursue her crime of trespassing, and she was going to take her in instead?
âAnd the recruitment is completed just like this?â Mag was secretly stunned too. As the boss, he didnât even get the chance to speak. He had lost a great deal of his power of speech.
âThis is fantastic. Iâve gained another big sister,â Amy said happily.
