Chapter 1994: I Really Have To Thank You
Mag wasn’t in a hurry to leave. Instead, he prepared a sumptuous breakfast, and announced the news of the restaurant’s one-month break after everyone arrived.
Of course, all of them had seen that news at the door.
“Boss, w-will the ice cream shop still be open?” Yabemiya’s eyes were a little red. Obviously, she didn’t sleep well last night after receiving Elizabeth’s letter.
Mag smilingly replied, “Taking a break for one month is giving all of you a holiday for one month too. All of you can return home or go out to play. Miya, you can decide for yourself if you want to keep the ice cream shop open.”
“I will return home for a month, then. I happen to have some matters to handle back home.” Camilla stretched out lazily. She felt very light-hearted when she realized that she didn’t have to wake up early every day to chop ingredients, and could sleep in for a period of time.
“I’m also busy saving the world recently. It’s great that I don’t have to run around.” Babla nodded with similar sentiments. The city lord’s castle had been looking for her frequently to discuss spell formations recently. As the number one contact person of the Moon Nation, she had been worried sick for this world.
“I…” Jane hesitated for a moment, but she didn’t say anything in the end.
“Then, I will keep the ice cream shop open. The children like it, and the ladies who are not busy can help out at the shop,” Yabemiya said with a smile before looking at Jane. “Jane, come and help me at the ice cream shop.”
“Mm-hmm.” Jane nodded with a smile too.
“Anna and I can go help out at the ice cream shop too,” s.h.i.+rley said.
“And me.” Gina raised her hand, and revealed a gentle smile. “The children seem to like me.”
“I’ll go over whenever I am free,” Angela said smilingly. She had already made her plan for this month. Her research was done, and it was time for her to formally approach the succubi in Chaos City.
“What about me?” Hannah asked, biting into the youtiao.
“I’ll give you one month’s time. When I return, I hope the rum from the brewery can be ready for sale,” Mag replied smilingly.
“I’m talking about my meals…” Hannah stopped chewing and blinked.
“Solve it yourself.” Mag took out a money bag, and pushed towards Hannah.
“Sigh… It’s hard to go one month without soybean milk and youtiao.” Hannah sighed, and continued chewing the youtiao.
Firis looked around her, and asked perplexedly, “Oh, yes, where’s Big Sister Elizabeth?”
“Yes, we didn’t see her from the start,” Gina added.
Mag smilingly replied, “Elizabeth started her holiday mode in advance.”
“Seems like she has received the notice in advance,” said Camilla.
Everyone was thoughtful. They just took it that Elizabeth had something on, and went on leave in advance. They didn’t pursue it.
Yabemiya flicked a glance at Mag with surprise.
All of them bade their farewell, and left after breakfast. Mag gave the restaurant’s keys to Babla and Miya.
“Goodbye, Big Sisters. I will miss you guys.” Amy stood at the door, and waved goodbye to all of them.
“Boss, did she come to bid farewell to you?” Yabemiya stayed back to ask Mag.
“Yes. She came to resign, but I didn’t accept it. I kept her position, and she can come back whenever she wants to.” Miya nodded and patted Yabemiya’s head. Smiling, he said, “Don’t worry. She’s only going out for a break. Someone like her is never going to stay put in one place. She belongs to the world out there.”
“Mm-hmm.” Yabemiya’s twisted expression relaxed, and a bright smile reappeared on her face. “She said she would come back to visit us frequently.”
Mag smilingly said, “That’s right. Pace yourself with the ice cream. Don’t tire yourself out. Take one day off every week, and give yourself and the girls a break.”
“Don’t worry, Boss. I will do a good job.” Yabemiya nodded with a serious look.
“Goodbye, Amy and Annie.” Yabemiya hugged Amy and Annie before leaving.
“So, Father, where are we going now?” Amy shut the door, and looked at Mag expectantly.
Annie also had an expectant expression. She had heard a lot from Amy about their previous trip, such as setting up a new restaurant.
“This time, we’re going to Rodu. Go upstairs and pack what you would like to bring along with you. Then, we will get ready to set off,” Mag smilingly said.
“Fantastic. Rodu is fun, but I haven’t gotten to play everything even after visiting twice,” Amy said happily before she ran upstairs to pack her stuff.
Annie stood at the floor-to-ceiling, and looked out for a while before she turned around, and gestured to Mag about the situation out there.
Mag walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows to look at those sighing customers, and smilingly consoled Annie, “It’s fine, Annie. The customers might have some trouble getting used to it at first, but they will look for somewhere else to eat when they are hungry.”
Of course, he did feel a little guilty.
He could completely understand the customers’ unease when their meals were cut off suddenly.
However, things happened out of the blue, and to make sure that these customers could have more time to enjoy their food in the future, this Rodu trip was inevitable.
If Josh was indeed in Rodu currently, and was attempting to escalate the situation and cause a big racial war, Mag had to stop him and kill him.
Annie nodded thoughtfully.
Irina came downstairs, and asked Mag, “Are we setting off right now?”
“Yes. We still have to find a venue after we arrive at Rodu. If things go smoothly, we can finish all the preparation by today.” Mag nodded.
“Meow~” Ugly Duckling, which was lying on the countertop, got up and stretched before flipping over to lie on the countertop again. It revealed its round tummy, and started to snore comfortably.
“Ugly Duckling, are you going to stay in the restaurant alone by yourself?” Amy said to Ugly Duckling, which was still sleeping on the countertop, as she came down.
“Meow!”
Ugly Duckling jumped up in a shock. It lost its footing, and fell to the floor.
Fortunately, Amy reacted quickly. She kicked it toward the wall, and successfully prevented it from falling to the floor.
Ugly Duckling flipped over, and got up on the floor. It shook its head, and called out to Amy, “I really have to thank you.”
“You don’t have to be so polite.” Amy reached out and rubbed the cat’s head.
“Let’s go. Come over, I’ll bring you all away.” Irina waved to the three of them. A golden light flashed underneath their feet, and they all disappeared from the restaurant.
Soon after, a purple-striped griffin took off from the north of the city, and flew out of the city. After picking up four people at the top of a mountain beyond the city, it continued to fly north—towards Rodu..
