Chapter 1725: I’ve Died
“Due to the parent-teacher meeting, tonight’s closed for business!” Harrison looked at the notice hanging on the door, and lamented, “Boss Mag is such a good father.”
“Usually, the designated hot pot area is still open for business, but it seems like we can only go to Mana Hot Pot Restaurant for dinner tonight.” Gjerj shrugged. He held a kid on each arm, and smilingly said, “It’s fortunate that Miranda offered to go to Parmer’s term-end party.”
“Little sister! I want little sister!” Parber said as he tugged Gjerj’s collar.
“Come, Uncle Harrison will bring you to go look for those pretty elven sisters.” Harrison bent down to pick up Parber, and then walked to the horse-drawn carriage.
“Let’s go, Angus, Christy. Let’s go look for those pretty elven sisters.” Gjerj quickly caught up with the two little ones in his arms.
It wasn’t being a hands-on dad, especially when you had three kids!
The customers who came to Mamy Restaurant all left in disappointment after seeing the notice hanging on the door.
However, since Boss Mag was going to Little Boss’s parent-teacher meeting, he gained everyone’s empathy easily with quite a legitimate reason.
Meanwhile, at Mana Hot Pot Restaurant which was 500 meters away, the great hall that could accommodate 1,000 people was already completely full. Over 100 hot pots were boiling at the same time, and it was boisterous. People were having a fiery time eating, and the cold was left at the door. Some customers had even stripped down to a single layer of clothing, and yet they were still sweating profusely.
Rena stood on the second floor, and calmly watched the orderly elves shuttle around the busy hall while providing a precise and efficient service for the customers.
After accumulation over two weeks, Mana Hot Pot Restaurant had gained many customers. The peak business hours during dinner were almost always full of customers. They could receive over 3,000 customers in a day.
Meanwhile, the service standard of the service staff in the hot pot restaurant had increased greatly after the fine-tuning during this period of time. They could already easily handle the great number of customers during the peak hours. The restaurant could operate as usual even when she wasn’t present in the restaurant.
Many customers are complaining that the hot pot restaurant was set up in the south of the city, and those customers who are living in the east and west of the city cannot come here easily. They wonder if we could open another two smaller hot pot restaurants in the east and the west of the city. Rena looked at the bustling customers and over 100 steaming hot pots. They seemed to be showing off the huge market that was hiding behind them.

Mag, who was wearing a gray coat, was standing at the entrance of Chaos School. Amy was standing next to him in a white dress and a cute bunny hat. Both of them were looking around.
“Let’s go. We should go in now.” Mag held Amy’s little hand, and walked into the school with the crowd.
“But, is Mother really not coming?” Although Amy was following Mag into the school, she couldn’t help looking back at the school’s entrance.
Today was the Chaos School’s primary section’s term-end party. Because the children from the primary section were small, the parents were invited to the party too. The harmonious relationship of the students, parents, and families was established.
Mag gently consoled her while rubbing her head smilingly. “She might have something on, and cannot get here in time. Let’s go meet up with your schoolmates first. Perhaps she will arrive shortly.”
He had mentioned this to Irina in the morning, but he didn’t get a confirmation from her.
“Alright.” Amy retracted her gaze. She let go of Mag’s hand and skipped forward. The rabbit’s ears on her hat also swung around her, making her look like a little running little rabbit.
“Woah, so cute!”
“Yes. She looks just like a little bunny! What an adorable child!”
“Are there rabbit-type orcs? How could she be so cute!”
The surrounding people’s eyes lit up, and they sang praises when they saw Amy skipping.
“Hush. This is the super junior student that even many seniors in the secondary section dare not provoke, Amy!”
“Yes. It’s that super elf who is so cute yet can send one flying with a punch!”
Those students who recognized Amy spoke with awe.
Amy stopped, showing off her fair little fist, and said, “No. I only beat up the baddies.”
If they hadn’t personally seen her send the gifted magic caster from the Roth Empire’s team flying with her staff, they would’ve been fooled by her adorable looks too.
“I’m just a little rabbit. I’m cute when I hop around.” Amy retracted her fist, and continued to skip toward.
“Who is so lucky to have such an adorable little princess?” The parents’ envious gaze landed on the man in the gray coat following behind Amy.
Mag curled his lips, feeling very proud of his daughter. That pride was almost spilling out of him.
Yes. It was him!
The man who had such an adorable little princess.
A man whom all the men in the world were envious and jealous of.
“I-isn’t that Boss Mag from Mamy Restaurant?” Someone recognized Mag.
“So he’s that man who grilled kebabs at the parent-teacher meeting and caused a commotion?”
“One of the best chefs on the Norland Continent?”
A commotion broke out instantly.
“I don’t know if I should envy him or envy that little girl skipping in front.”
“Not everyone could have such a good daddy!”
Therefore, Mag and Amy walked into the hall under the envious and admiring gazes.
“Little Amy, Mr. Mag, this way please.” Teacher Luna waved at them from the first row.
“Father, this way.” Amy held Mag’s hand, and walked towards Luna.
They greeted each other simply, and because Amy would be performing on the stage shortly, Luna arranged for Mag and Amy to sit closer to the stage. Then, she continued to sit with the other students and parents.
“Daphne[1], Ignatsu.” Amy waved at her two friends.
Daphne’s grandpa came with her, while Ignatsu came alone. He sat next to Amy, a little depressed.
Amy said to Ignatsu, “Did your parents forget again? I’m beginning to suspect you are not their biological child now.”
“I’m beginning to feel like that too.” Ignatsu nodded in agreement. The bean sprout on his head bent over dejectedly too.
“Little Amy, your hat is so adorable. It looks like rabbit’s ears.” Daphne sat on the other side of Amy, and looked at Amy’s hat with surprise. She couldn’t help but reach out to press on the rabbit’s ears. “It’s so soft and comfortable.”
“See, it can even move.” Amy tilted her head, and two ears stood up immediately before the tips slowly bent downwards. Amy blinked her eyes at Daphne and smiled brightly.
“Argh… I’ve died…”
Daphne collapsed into her grandpa’s embrace.
