Chapter 1879 - We'll Only Have The Strength To Argue After We Are Full
A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World
âMeow~â
Ugly Duckling, which was lying on the counter lazily, stood up immediately and pricked its ears up. Then, it leaped down the counter, and dashed to the door. It jumped up to grab the handle, and bumped the door open with its eight kg weight and skills.
Outside of the door, Amy was carrying a big trophy. She caught Ugly Duckling, which threw itself into her arms, and held it under her armpits. While rubbing its head, she said disdainfully, âUgly Duckling, youâve got fat again! Also, donât damage my trophy. This is pure gold, which is much more expensive than you.â
Mag came to the door before Amy, who was wearing a brand-new magician robe, and smilingly said, âOur Little Amy is home so early.â
âFather!â
Amy dumped Ugly Duckling aside, and raised the trophy up high. âSee! I got the championship and a big trophy!â
Magâs smile got even bigger when he saw that the little one had a âpraise meâ expression written all over her face. He said smilingly, âLittle Amy is awesome.â
âTeehee.â Amy instantly smiled happily. Then, she rubbed her little tummy, and aggrievedly said, âCan you make delicious food for Little Amy, please? Little Amyâs tummy is growling.â
âOf course. What do you want to eat? Father will make it for you.â Mag nodded smilingly before taking the big trophy from her. The heavy trophy wasnât made of pure gold, but it had to be made from an even more precious material than gold. Looking at the two rows of tiny bite marks, Mag was stunned for a moment before he realized what happened to the trophy.
âOh, yes, whereâs Teacher Krassu? Didnât he come back with you?â Mag asked.
âHe went to look for Teacher Urien. He went next door after he sent me to the door.â Amy pointed to the magic potion shop.
âHe shouldnât have eaten breakfast, either, right?â Mag asked.
âYes. He hasnât had breakfast yet, since I woke him up to send me home.â Amy nodded.
âAlright, come in.â Mag nodded with a smile.
âMm-hmm.â Amy skipped in. She rushed forward happily when she saw Irina and Annie. âMother! Big Sister Annie! I missed you guys~â
Irina put Amy on her lap after she hugged Annie and smiled at her. âLittle Amy is so awesome. You have broken all of Motherâs previous records.â
âI heard from Teacher Krassu that you were the champion in the past too.â Amy nodded.
âYes. I thought nobody could break my records, but I didnât expect my daughter to break my records eventually. It proves that I am really outstanding.â Irina nodded with pride on her face.
âI think I also have half of the credit.â Mag interrupted.
âMm-hmm. Your back office support is indeed not bad.â Irina nodded.
Mag looked at Amy, and smilingly asked, âTell me, Little Amy, did you use the close combat magic or long-range offensive magic more frequently at the Magic Caster Tournament?â
As the close combat magicâs actual combat instructor for Amy, Mag modified and improved the close combat magic that Amy learned from Krassu. He made it more practical while ensuring the close combat magicâs explosive power at the same time.
Krassuâs close combat magic was simple and violent as it depended on the powerful suppressive magic that was exerted during the melee.
Meanwhile, Amy was more like a magic swordsman. She would search for an opportunity to strike effectively. At the same time, she could maintain the high explosive power during a melee while she attacked precisely.
âAbout half each,â Amy pondered seriously. âBut most of the time I used close combat magic to conclude the battle.â
âFather will make you fried rice now. Then, our family of four will go out for a vacation.â Mag went into the kitchen, feeling rather smug.
Irina wasnât annoyed. She looked at Amy smilingly, and continued, âLet our champion tell us what other interesting incidents happened.â
âA big guy appeared in the childrenâs category. He defeated all the children, and then got the championship in the childrenâs category. I defeated all the adults, and got the championship in the adultsâ category. Then, he got laughed at,â Amy said with a smile.
âThat is really one miserable youth categoryâs champion.â Irina also laughed after she heard that. She remembered that the youth categoryâs champion when she won the tournament also looked older than her. It was really funny when he looked ashamed standing next to her.
Mag carried a bowl of Yangzhou fried rice and savory tofu pudding out before he packed a few dishes and a bottle of 50 years old rum, and sent them to the magic potion shop next door.
Before Mag entered, he already heard Krassu and Urien talking loudly. Although their decibels were as high as usual, the ambiance of their conversation sounded friendly for the first time.
Krassu laughed loudly as he said, âYou didnât see Richardâs face. It was bloody red when our precious disciple sent his disciple out of the arena. He couldnât speak for a long timeâ¦â
âThat old chap always thought he had taken in a few precious disciples. Amy has really done us proud.â Urienâs slightly hoarse voice also sounded rather excited.
âIsnât it so? Even both of us old chaps couldnât match Amyâs talents. She has only just broken through the 7th-tier, and she can already easily deploy the Frost Domain and her self-invented fire magic. Her fighting style is completely unpredictable. No one was her match at the Magic Caster Tournament. Itâs extremely like my style.â
âPtui! That is obviously my style! If it werenât for the Frost Domain, Amy wouldnât have disarmed Richardâs discipleâs magic so easily.â
âRubbish! If Amy had used the Flame Domain, that kid would have been roasted long ago. How could he have hidden himself for so long?â
Mag quickly went in with the takeaway box when he heard the two of them start to argue. He looked at the two masters who were arguing over the counter with a smile. âBoth of you masters are indeed here.â
Krassu and Urien turned to look at Mag together, and restrained their emotions.
âItâs due to both your teachings that Amy was able to get the championship. I have fried a few dishes, and brought along a 50 years old rum to show my appreciation.â Mag put the takeaway box and rum on the counter, and then took the dishes one by one out from the box.
The cut-up beggarâs chicken was still steaming. The spicy crayfish still had its pincers up. The red oil was drizzled over the plate of sliced beef and ox tongue in chili sauce. Finally, there was a little pot of congee with pork and century egg at the very bottom.
Gulp.
The Adamâs apples of both masters moved at the same time. Although it was still early in the morning, they couldnât control themselves when the aromas tickled their noses.
âPlease enjoy your meal, Masters. I will bring Amy out for a trip later, so I have to go now.â Mag smilingly went away after pouring out the rum for them.
Krassu and Urien looked at each other, and then at the dishes and rum in front of them.
âLetâs eat first before we argue. Weâll only have the strength to argue after we are full.â Krassu gave in first. He scooped a bowl of congee for himself first, and started eating.
Urien, too, picked up a beggarâs chicken drumstick after hesitating for a moment. After taking a bite, the crispy skin and tender chicken meat instantly woke up the morningâs lazy taste buds!
The tense atmosphere was eased by the food and drinks.
