Chapter 574 - Boss, I Want 10 Roast Beef Kebabs!
Mag carried Krassu’s breakfast with him as he walked into Chaos School with Amy’s little hand in his. The old man and orc at the entrance both greeted them, and appraised Amy with expressions of approval. This little girl had defended the honor of Chaos School against the challengers from the Roth Empire. This was a widely known story in Chaos School, and everyone viewed her as a little heroine.
Amy gave polite responses to everyone who greeted her in the schoolyard. She did not become more haughty or inflated from the attention that she was receiving.
“Father, it seems like everyone really likes me.” Amy looked up at Mag with an elated expression.
“They do. Our Little Amy beat up all the baddies, so everyone really likes you now. You have to keep it up from now on, and more and more people will like you.” Mag nodded with a smile. Who wouldn’t love an adorable little girl like Amy?
After walking further into the schoolyard, Mag noticed a group of dwarves working busily on a construction project on a plot of empty land.
Amy pointed at that plot of land, and said, “Teacher Krassu says he’s going to build a magic room over there. I’ll be taking my lessons there after the magic room is built.”
“I see. Looks like you’ll be able to take your lessons in a larger and more interesting classroom in the future.” Mag’s eyes lit up upon hearing that. Krassu had once promised him and Amy that he would build her a brand-new professional magic room. Mag had thought that it would take a while before Krassu delivered on that promise, and was surprised to see that construction had commenced already.
Constructing a high-level magic room was a very expensive endeavor, particularly when the magic room had to be erected in accordance with Krassu’s lofty standards. It was quite clear that Chaos School wouldn’t be able to produce such a large sum of money, so Krassu had clearly paid for this from his own pocket.
As soon as Mag entered the magic room, he was greeted by a string of interrogation from Krassu. “Boss Mag, how could you take Amy with you to ditch classes? I don’t mind if she ditches classes from time to time, but why do you always get her to ditch my classes? Setting that aside for now, do you know how long I waited for you to bring me breakfast yesterday? Why does an old man like me still have to suffer through such hardships?!”
“Um...” Mag scratched his head in an awkward manner. It wasn’t as if he could decide which classes Amy ditched. The times selected by the system just so happened to coincide with Krassu’s classes; he couldn’t do anything about it.
“Here’s your breakfast. I went out to procure some ingredients for a new dish that my restaurant is releasing today. You can come and taste it at noon if you’d like.” Mag hurriedly handed over the breakfast box in his hand to Krassu. He knew that this seemingly benevolent old man was not very pleasant when enraged.
“A new dish?” Krassu was immediately intrigued as he accepted the container.
Amy nodded in confirmation, and said, “That’s right, Teacher Krassu. Father’s new roast beef kebabs are super, super delicious. You should go and have a taste at lunch; you’ll definitely love it!”
Krassu nodded reluctantly as he looked at Mag, and said, “Alright, I guess I can forgive you this time, then. But if you’re going to take Amy with you to ditch classes next time, you have to ditch Urien’s lesson instead. Otherwise, he’s going to get more time with Amy, and he’s going to boast about how Amy has become more proficient in long-range magic than melee magic.”
“Alright, I’ll do my best to pick a suitable time next time.” Mag nodded before patting Amy’s head with a smile as he said, “I have to go back to my restaurant now. I’ll leave Amy in your
care.”
“Bye-bye, Father.” Amy waved at Mag before entering the magic room with Krassu.
After departing from Chaos School, Mag rode his bicycle back to his restaurant. On the way, he stopped by Ricky’s Rotisserie, and the doors were tightly shut. There was no one in the restaurant, and everything was strewn around in a chaotic manner. It appeared that the restaurant had been cleaned the night before, but all of the tables and chairs were still there. The overall structure of the restaurant hadn’t been damaged, either, so it could be opened for business again after a simple renovation.
Ricky’s Rotisserie was about three times the size of Mamy Restaurant, taking up an area in excess of 200 square meters. Furthermore, it was situated quite close to the entrance of the square, which was an ideal location far better than the site on which Mamy Restaurant was situated. Just those two factors alone could ensure that this restaurant could be rented out for tens of thousands of copper coins per month.
If someone were to try and purchase it, they would have to spend at least an eight-figure sum, but Mag had won it for free.
There were too many things going on the night before, so Mag was too busy to transfer the restaurant’s ownership rights to himself. He was preparing to make a trip to the city lord’s castle after the breakfast service so he could officially become the owner of this restaurant.
If he were to sell the restaurant, he would be able to make quite a fortune. A shopfront in such a fantastic location would definitely attract plenty of prospective buyers. However, after contemplating the issue last night, Mag had already made up his mind. He wasn’t planning to sell the restaurant. Instead, he was going to make it the first Mamy Restaurant branch.
Aside from the shopfront on the first floor, he could also make good use of the space on the second floor, thereby providing Mamy Restaurant with more than enough space for expansion.
This shopfront is even better than I expected, but I’ll still have to successfully swindle the system for this plan to go ahead. A branch would bring in more revenue, but I shouldn’t be in a hurry to expand at this point in time. I should focus on making more improvements before trying to expand. Mag nodded with a satisfied look at the sight of the abandoned Ricky’s Rotisserie before riding his bicycle back to the restaurant.
When Mag returned to the restaurant, Sally and Miya had already finished having breakfast. Mag changed into his chef’s suit and took a glance at the clock on the wall before quickly striding over the restaurant’s entrance. He opened the restaurant’s doors and smiled as he greeted, “Welcome.”
The people outside flooded into the restaurant, and soon, all of the seats had been filled.
“Boss, I want 10 roast beef kebabs!”
“I also want 10!”
“You’re going to make the customers behind us jealous! With that in mind, I’ll only order nine kebabs!”
Many of the customers immediately made their orders without even looking at the menu. They had come with the sole purpose of tasting the new roast beef kebabs.
