387 The City Lord's Castle Wants to Reserve the Entire Restaurant?

Upon Amy's insistence, Yabemiya and Sally finally agreed to perform Gokuraku Jodo for her little friends tomorrow. Of course, Mag's encouragement also played a role in their decision.

As Mag was welcoming customers into the restaurant for the dinner service, Amy rushed over with Ugly Duckling in her arms, and asked, "Father, can I invite Teacher Luna over tomorrow as well?"

"Of course you can. Let's go together to invite her tomorrow." Mag patted Amy on her little head. It seemed that she was still quite fond of Luna.

Gjerj overheard the conversation as he walked in, and he smiled at Amy as he asked, "Is this a party for Amy's little friends? Can my Parmer and Parber also come?"

"Uncle Blue Fatty, do you have any cute little sisters in your family?" Amy looked up at Gjerj with anticipation in her eyes.

"Your Aunt Miranda might have one in her tummy, but it's only been seven months, so she hasn't given birth yet. But we do have a super adorable little brother, Angus, whom you've never met before." Gjerj wore a joyful smile on his face at the mention of his children.

"Is it really a little sister?" Amy's eyes lit up, and she extended her hand toward Gjerj with a serious look as she said, "I'm extending an invitation toward the little sister. She can bring along her big brother for lunch tomorrow. Father is going to make some super tasty new dessert!"

"Alright, I'll tell them that they've been invited thanks to their little sister." Gjerj nodded with a smile before turning to Mag, and asking, "Is that alright, Mag?"

"This is Amy's party, so she can invite whomever she likes. We welcome you and your family tomorrow." Mag nodded with a smile. He was quite fond of Gjerj and his two sons, and in any case, having more people would liven up the atmosphere during the party.

"I'm sure those little guys would love to come, especially when they can dine on your food." Gjerj nodded with a smile before making his way into the restaurant.

"Little Amy, I really want to attend your lunch party as well. Can you invite me?" Harrison walked in, and looked at Amy with an expectant smile.

"No. Don't you know how old you are, Uncle Gray Fatty? Tomorrow's party is for my little friends. Besides, you don't even want to come to the party; you just want to taste Father's new dessert, right?" Amy shook her head. She had seen right through Harrison's sinister plot.

"Sigh, but I feel like I'm only three and a half years old. How depressing." Harrison heaved a forlorn sigh. He didn't think that Amy would be able to see through his true intention so easily. As he walked into the restaurant, he thought to himself, Looks like I have to hurry up and find a wife, and then have a kid with her so I can also come to these parties!



"The restaurant is closed for the day. If you would like to have a meal, please come back tomorrow." Mag closed the restaurant at 9pm as usual, but a man in a long coat approached him after closing time.

"Hello, Mr. Mag. My name is Dicus, and I'm from the city lord's castle. We met at the gates of Chaos School before, though you might have already forgotten." The man looked at Mag with a smile as he said, "I'm not here for a meal today. I've been sent here by the city lord to discuss some things with you, but you were quite busy earlier, so I decided to wait outside for a bit. Would I be able to come in and have a word with you?"

"Sure, come on in." Mag didn't have any recollection of Dicus, but seeing as he was here on the city lord's orders, it wouldn't be good to decline him. After all, the city lord's castle had contributed greatly to reinstating the restaurant on the food competition rankings.

"Mr. Mag, business at your restaurant sure is great; not many restaurants in the Aden Square can compare." Dicus smiled as he walked in.

"You're far too kind." Mag nodded with a smile before walking in behind him.

"Boss?" Yabemiya, who had just finished clearing the tables, wore a confused look as she turned to Dicus.

Mag smiled, and explained, "Miya, Aisha, you two can go back early today. Don't forget to come back tomorrow for lunch. Mr. Dicus here has some things that he needs to discuss with me."

"Alright, see you tomorrow, Boss, Amy." Yabemiya nodded, and bade farewell to the two of them before leaving with Sally.

"Father, can we go to bed now?" Amy was feeling a little drowsy as she turned to Mag. She yawned, and Ugly Duckling also followed suit.

"Wait a little while, Amy, I'll tuck you in soon." Mag smiled and nodded. He didn't sit down, and instead turned to Dicus as he asked, "What are the city lord's instructions?"

Dicus took a glance at Amy, and didn't sit down, either. He looked at Mag with a smile, and asked, "The city lord doesn't have any instructions per se. He would like to reserve the entire Mamy Restaurant tomorrow, and was wondering if that could be arranged."

"My apologies, tomorrow is the restaurant's off day, so we won't be serving any customers." Mag shook his head without even thinking. He wasn't going to work on his day off.

Right at that moment, the system's voice sounded. "Ding! New mission: Add 16 outdoor seats to the restaurant within three days! Due to the large number of customers, and the inability of the restaurant to expand due to its low level, outdoor seats must be arranged to satisfy the customers' needs. Reward for completing this mission: An outdoor dining area! Punishment for mission failure: 10,000 gold coins!"

"Holy f*ck, you shameless system! You're going to deduct money for mission failure?!! How am I supposed to set up an outdoor dining area? Are you trying to screw me over?" Mag was furious. The only food vendors that operated in the Aden Square itself were food carts, which were very portable. He had never seen any restaurant set up an outdoor dining area in the square, so there had to be rules and regulations prohibiting that.

Mag would obviously be happy to increase the number of seats in his restaurants, and an outdoor dining area would be perfect for customers like the lava demons and Elizabeth. They would be free to exhibit any physical reaction to his food as they'd be outside anyway.

"Please don't be so quick to turn me down, Mr. Mag. Perhaps you can state your price first." Dicus didn't think that Mag would refuse just because it was his off day. After all, it was the city lord that was making the request, and all restaurants would be clambering for a chance to host the city lord for a meal.

Perhaps the city lord's castle will be able to help me resolve this problem. Mag began to reconsider as he looked at Dicus, and he asked, "When would the city lord like to reserve the restaurant?"

"Tomorrow at noon." Dicus' eyes lit up. As expected, no restaurant owner would turn down the city lord.

"No!" two voices answered in unison.
