A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

Chapter 1325: I’ll Take All Of Them!

Due to a piece of news that had gotten out, many fishermen on Carapace Island didn’t have a good sleep. Today, when the tide had just receded and the sky was still dark, many fishermen were already rushing to the beach with torches to catch those blackish-green big prawns that they had avoided earlier.

The price of 50 copper coins each was already higher than that for the majority of the sea fishes and crabs. Catching one was enough to support a family for the whole day. If they could catch more, they could even pay for this month’s protective amulet.

One had to know that plenty of these weird big prawns had appeared on Carapace Island’s beach recently.

Hence, all the fishermen here had plenty of these big prawns in their buckets, and were anxiously waiting for that mysterious demon to come and purchase them.

If the news had been fake, then they would have worked for nothing that morning.

Mag made his breakfast of love for Amy and Irina leisurely. He didn’t have to go and call them, and the three greedy cats were already seduced downstairs by the aroma.

After breakfast, Mag suddenly remembered that he hadn’t named the restaurant. So, the family of three had a meeting regarding the restaurant’s name.

“Let’s call it Ayi Restaurant.” Irina threw out a name as soon as the meeting started. “I think it sounds very nice.”

“Ayi, Ayi. It’s so cute. I like this name.” Amy put her hand up to indicate her approval.

“Meow!” Ugly Duckling raised up its paw and agreed too.

“Seems like I’m a man who doesn’t deserve to have a name.” Mag put his hands up with a smile. The restaurant’s name was settled, and the system custom-made a signboard very efficiently and hung it at the door.

“Let’s go to the docks to collect the crayfish. Ayi Crayfish Restaurant is going to open for business officially today.” Mag picked up Amy and set her two pincers straight before walking to the door.

Irina walked next to Mag, bored, and asked, “Are we simply selling crayfish here without doing any other things?”

“Two days later, we will go and kill Alfred,” Mag replied smilingly.

“This is a little interesting.” Irina’s eyes lit up, and she got excited instantly.

Mag shook his head with a smile. This woman was indeed a trouble-seeker.

When they passed by the entrance of an alley, Mag and his family chanced upon an ugly demon pressing a weak female demon onto the ground in an attempt to force himself on her. That female unicorn, who only looked about 13-14 years old, struggled desperately. But, she still couldn’t escape from that demon’s clutches. There were a few demons who were watching this scene afar indifferently, some of them were even laughing and watching a good show.

“This is why I hate Carapace Island. These people are no different from animals.” Irina frowned slightly before kicking a round and flat stone on the ground.

The stone flew into the alley and pierced through the head of the demon who was pressing the unicorn demoness down before circling around and slicing open the throats of all those demons who were watching the show.

“They indeed deserved to die.” Mag used his hand to cover Amy’s eyes. The three of them simply walked by the alley’s entrance. Such matters were very common on Carapace Island. These demons who couldn’t afford to buy a protective amulet could only become the other demons’ underlings or prey.

The unicorn demon maiden stared at the demon who suddenly collapsed onto her in shock. Warm fresh blood splashed onto her pretty face and woke her up from her stupor. She pushed that demon away with disgust before seeing the six, seven demons lying on the alley’s ground with blood gushing out of their throats. They were using their hands to cover their necks in desperation.

The demon maiden was in complete shock, and she quickly stumbled toward the alley’s entrance. She halted her footsteps just as she exited the alley’s entrance. She turned around and looked at that protective amulet hanging on the waist of that demon who had attempted to violate her.

After a moment of hesitation, she swiftly strode back, crouched down, pulled that waist tag off, and put it on herself. Then, she pulled off a piece of clothing to wrap around her face and dashed out of the alley. She deftly turned into the adjacent alley and stumbled along it. She even didn’t seem to realize that her bare feet were cut.

She didn’t know who saved her, but she knew if the Ten Kings’ Palace found out she had something to do with these people’s deaths, she most probably would die too. Maybe she would even experience a fate worse than death.

The fishermen were waiting at the port anxiously. Many of them were even planning to dump these big prawns, and return to the beach before the tide rose up again. Otherwise, they would have made a wasted trip today.

Tuck also looked miserable. Although he had already received five gold coins from that lord, everyone else went to catch the big prawns after they saw him sell them. If that lord didn’t show up, they might vent their anger on him.

“He’s here! He came!” The young demon at the side suddenly stood up and stared at Mag, who was walking over from a distance, with bright eyes.

“He’s here!” The other fishermen all rose when they heard the commotion.

Mag looked at the fishermen who stood up at both sides of the port as if they were a welcome party. They gave him somewhat of a shock.

“Are these fellows looking for trouble?” Irina’s eyes lit up. Although they were just peasants, they had the numbers, and it was good to have some exercise.

“Should I use fireballs? Or should I just beat them with a club?” Amy asked too.

“Calm down. They’re just normal fishermen.” Mag quickly stopped the two of them. He had already noticed that these fishermen had crayfish in their buckets and nets.

Tuck walked over to Mag with his bucket, and gratefully said, “My lord, you’re finally here. These are the crayfish that I have caught today. They would pay for what I owed you yesterday.”

“You have a nice catch today.” Mag did a quick count, and there were 15 crayfish stuffed in the wooden bucket. He took 25 silver coins out from his money bag and gave them to Tuck.

“N-no need. You did me a great favor yesterday. These extra crayfish are my token of appreciation to you.” Tuck swiftly waved his hands.

“The two crayfish are already your token of appreciation. These five crayfish today would be 50 copper coins each, so this is a total of 25 silver coins. You have to accept them.” Mag shook his head with a smile. “This is a long-term business. Please continue to sell me the crayfish whenever you catch them in the future.”

Tuck hesitated briefly before accepting the silver coins. Then, he bowed to Mag deeply. “Thank you very much.”

He had earned a month’s worth of income in a night. He held the silver coins with shaking hands.

The other fishermen, who were a little skeptical at the start, all looked with wide eyes when they saw Tuck received the silver coins.

The young fisherman, Kitar, came up to Mag with a big net of crayfish, and excitedly said, “My lord, look at the crayfish that I caught. There are 52 of them, and if you are interested, I’ll just take the money for 50 of them.”

Mag took a quick look at the 52 crayfish in the net. They were rather energetic and big, so he nodded. “Alright, 50 copper coins each, and I’ll take all of them.”

All the fishermen erupted into an uproar immediately. 50 crayfish at 50 copper coins each would be 2,500 copper coins in total!

This was a huge sum of money to these fishermen who were struggling above the poverty line. All the demons were looking at Mag with bright eyes.

Kitar received the 25 gold coins from Mag with a glow on his face. This was almost equal to a month of his income, and he had earned it overnight. His happiness came too abruptly as he counted the gold coins repeatedly with a dazed look.

Then, Mag continued to buy all the crayfish from the rest of the 10-odd fishermen. He filled up the giant net that he brought along with over 300 crayfish.

“Ding! Two reproductive crayfish were detected. The crayfish-catching mission’s process: 2/100!” The system’s reminder appeared in Mag’s mind.
