Chapter 494 - Why Aren’t You Fighting Today?
A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World
Draculaâs body stopped cold in midair as he caught sight of Urien and Krassu approaching the restaurant. He immediately landed at the end of one of the lines, and squeezed out a smile as he said, âA regal vampire like me wouldnât stoop to something like jumping a line. Master Urien, Master Krassu, itâs a pleasure meeting you two here.â
Dracula turned away, and the smile on his face instantly disappeared as cold sweat poured down his face. Even though it was very humiliating for a 9th-tier vampire like him to concede in such a spineless manner, there was no way that he could stand against the Lord of Ice and the Lord of Fire.
Whatâs happening with this world? Thank heavens I stopped just in time. Otherwise, I would be receiving a brutal beating right now. These two are the ones who drove all of the ogres into extinction! With that in mind, more cold sweat materialized on Draculaâs forehead.
âLittle Amy used melee magic to defeat a 4th-tier magic caster today. As you can see, melee magic is far superior to long-range magic.â Krassu turned to Urien with a smug expression. He couldnât be bothered to deal with trash like Dracula.
âA 4th-tier magic caster?â
âIs Amy already that powerful?â
âSheâs a four-year-old 4th-tier magic caster! What an exceptional prodigy! Surely even Princess Irina wasnât a 4th-tier magic caster at four years old?â
The customers in front of the restaurant immediately burst into a flurry of commotion upon hearing that. Amy was so adorable that everyone thought her to be a harmless little girl, but she had defeated a 4th-tier magic caster! All of them were surprised beyond words to hear that.
A 4th-tier magic caster was an intermediate magic caster. In the city lordâs castle and the Gray Temple, someone like that could become the leader of a small squadron.
âLooks like Little Amy is a hidden powerhouse of Mamy Restaurant. When she says she is super fierce, she really is super fierce!â Harrison sighed with emotion.
âIndeed. When Parmer came home today, he told me that Amy had become the hero of Chaos School today, beating two powerful magic casters from the Magus Tower by herself, and forcing them to concede the match.â Gjerj nodded with a smile.
A four-year-old 4th-tier magic caster? Looks like this little girl really is a super prodigy. I have to notify my brethren about this when I get back. We have to make sure not to mess with a supreme prodigy like her, especially when she has two terrifying masters like Urien and Krauss. Dracula made a mental note to himself as he overheard everyoneâs conversation.
âThatâs just a 4th-tier magic caster. Even a 5th-tier magic caster will be no match for Amyâs ice magic soon.â Urien pursed his lips in response. He wasnât enraged in the slightest by Krassuâs words. Instead, he appeared to be brimming with confidence.
That declaration caused another stir among all of the customers. How long had it been since Urien and Krassu had accepted Amy as their disciple? How could she improve at such a phenomenal rate? She was most likely going to shatter all of the records established in the magic world in the future. As expected of a disciple that the Lord of Ice and Lord of Fire had fought over. It made sense now why they were willing to set aside their century-long feud to take her under their wings.
âWhen that time comes, even 6th-tier magic casters will be trembling in the face of Amyâs staff.â Krassu wasnât backing down either as he joined the sweet faction.
âWeâll see about that.â Urien chuckled coldly as he joined the savory faction. Freezing winter descended on one line, while scorching heatwaves swept through the other as the atmosphere instantly became very tense.
Dracula was very relieved to see that Urien and Krassu werenât paying any attention to him. As he passed by Blour, he took a glance at the latter with a hint of surprise on his face. âAn elven brat?â
âOh, look, if it isnât a high and mighty demon.â Blour turned to Dracula with a hint of mockery in his voice.
âAre you talking about me, little brat?â Dracula stopped and raised his chin in a proud manner. He looked at Blour with an arrogant expression, and said, âWe vampires are indeed high and mighty creatures. We only drink blood and are all gentlemanly beings of refined grace.â
âOh really, now? I heard a vampire was forced to eat grass by Princess Irina; is that also one of your so-called vampires who only drink blood?â Blour raised a barbed question.
All of the nearby customers were struggling not to burst into laughter. They didnât know whether what Blour said was true, but the image of a vampire being forced to eat grass was absolutely hilarious.
How the hell does he know about that?! Dracula raised an eyebrow. If he were to admit that as true, he would be too embarrassed to ever come to this restaurant again. Thus, he put on a calm facade, and said, âHow could something like that possibly happen? Even if it did happen, it couldnât possibly have happened to one of us vampires, and it definitely wasnât me.â
âReally?â Blour looked at Dracula with a suspicious expression, wondering why he insisted on reinforcing the notion that he wasnât the vampire in question.
âOf course itâs true! We vampires have great pride and character. There is no way we would ever eat something like grass,â Dracula replied sternly.
âWhat flavor tofu pudding do you eat?â Constantine suddenly asked.
âI eat the savory tofu pudding of course⦠Uhâ¦â Dracula looked at the amused smiles on everyoneâs faces, and he felt as if his dignity had been swept to the ground. He glared at Constantine before falling silent.
âThat was a good question.â Blour looked at Constantine with a hint of approval on his face. He didnât think that he would suddenly pose a question that would embarrass the vampire like this. It was quite a pleasant feeling to see the arrogant vampire taking a loss.
âYouâre too kind. May I ask you name?â Constantine looked at Blour with a fawning smile. He was a little frightened by the glare Dracula had directed at him, but being praised by Blour filled him with joy and confidence again. âBlour,â Blour replied indifferently before looking away.
Blour⦠At least I know his name now. Perhaps I can learn the secret to Shirleyâs heart from her brother. Constantineâs eyes lit up with excitement.
âWhy arenât you fighting today?â
Right at that moment, a little girl emerged from the restaurant with a kitten in one hand and a stool in the other. She sat down on the stool with the kitten on her lap and looked at everyone with a confused expression.
