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

The crispy golden grilled fish was half a meter long, and its rainbow color was still faintly visible. In particular, the head and tail still retained their beautiful color.

Red juices were poured over the fish, obscuring the onion and cellophane noodles underneath. Bright red dried chili and wild pepper were sprinkled on top along with chopped green onions, creating a beautiful sight.

“Gulp.”

All four people sitting at the table gulped in unison.

It’s such a beautiful fish. The smell is irresistible. It looks like a lot of chili was used, but the scent isn’t sharp at all. I can’t believe a spicy dish could be so alluring! Just eating a little bit should be fine, right? Sally stared at the grilled fish with astonishment in her eyes. She clearly didn’t like fish nor spicy food, but Mag’s cooking made the two simply irresistible.

“It must be super delicious!” Yabemiya was full of anticipation. She had seen the entire cooking process; during that time, she discovered that Mag’s hands seemed to hold some sort of magical power. Even though there were some ingredients that she didn’t recognize, she was still stunned by how Mag was able to combine them into a dish that was perfect in taste, color, and aroma. At the same time, she was even more eager to taste the dish.

“Meow!” Ugly Duckling scratched the leg of a chair to express its displeasure. It really wanted someone to carry it onto the table so it could see the dish for itself.

“Have a taste. This spicy grilled fish is the new dish that I’ll be releasing today. Let’s taste-test it ourselves first.” Mag picked up his chopsticks, and severed the most succulent part of the fish.

As his chopsticks sliced through the flesh of the fish, the vibrant red juices instantly seeped in, staining its soft white flesh red. Its delicious flavor was sealed in, and Mag placed it in Amy’s bow. He looked at her with a smile, and cautioned, “Be careful; there could be fishbones in there.”

“Mm-hm.” Amy nodded with elation, and picked up her chopsticks with one hand while holding her bowl in her other hand. She put the fish into her mouth, and her expression immediately lit up.

“So this is what fish tastes like! It’s so delicious! But… but… it’s a little spicy.” The succulent fish meat was enveloped in spicy juices, and a layer of crispy fish skin. Amy chewed a few times before sticking out her little tongue, and turned to Mag with amazement in her eyes as she said, “Father, I want more! I want to eat more fish! Fish is so delicious, and there weren’t any bones, either! Father is the best!”

“Alright, here comes more fish.” Amy had her tongue stuck out like a little puppy, creating an extremely adorable sight. Mag smiled, and delivered another morsel of fish into her bowl. Just as the system had promised, the fish had no small fishbones, so it was much more convenient to eat.

Amy looked like she was thoroughly enjoying herself, and Sally and Yabemiya couldn’t help but extend their chopsticks in unison to taste the fish for themselves.

Sally inspected the fish between her chopstick with wonder in her eyes. The fish meat was so soft and delicate that it would be severed if she were to exert just a bit more force. However, it still had structural integrity and a great texture. The red juice had perfectly encapsulated the fish, and a delicious spicy aroma wafted through the air. She was already salivating involuntarily before even placing the morsel of fish in her mouth. She hesitated momentarily before giving it a taste.

Oh! It’s so spicy! As soon as she placed the morsel of fish meat in her mouth, the spicy juices erupted. Sally felt as if there were sparks flying in her mouth, just as if countless tiny fire magic spells had been unleashed. Her taste buds were instantly awakened, but her tongue seemed to go numb for a split second before coming back to its senses.

In contrast with the spicy juices, the flavor of the soft and succulent fish made Sally feel as if she had fallen into a clear blue ocean, where a school of rainbow fish swam beside her, striking her with the urge to strip off her clothes and swim together with them. So this was the unique taste of the ocean; it was delicious!

As she swallowed the fish meat, she felt as if a ball of fire was sliding down her throat. A burning sensation immediately spread throughout her entire body, making her sit bolt upright involuntarily as a gentle moan escaped her lips.

“Rip!”

A tearing sound erupted, and one of the buttons at the front of Sally’s qipao flew through the air, revealing a small patch of snowy white skin and a sliver of black lace.

“Ngh…”

Almost at the same time, Yabemiya also moaned as she swallowed the fish in her mouth. Two buttons detached themselves from the front of her maid dress. Even though she was quite petite, her chest development was quite advanced, so an alluring section of cleavage was revealed.

What the hell? Mag was just about to taste the fish for himself when he was abruptly rooted to his seat. He took a deliberate glance before shiting his gaze away. Why was he suddenly receiving fanservice like this? He hadn’t put anything strange into the dish!

“Eh? Big Sister Aisha, Big Sister Miya, your little bunnies are showing, heehee.” Amy chuckled as she looked at the two of them.

“Hmm?” Both of them lowered their heads in unison, and only then did they discover that they had suffered from wardrobe malfunction.

“Argh!”

“Argh!!!”

Two sharp screams erupted almost in unison.

After a brief panicked scuffle, Sally and Yabemiya sat down in their seats, both of them as red as beetroots. Their eyes were downcast, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Mag hesitated momentarily before choosing to break the silence. “Er… I actually didn’t see anything, so you don’t have to worry.”

Sally and Yabemiya both turned to look at Mag with skepticism written all over their faces. They both clearly saw Mag stare at them for a moment before turning away.

“Then, I’ll be digging in.” Mag was a little sheepish as he turned his gaze away. The situation had transpired very abruptly, and he had stared for a moment, just as any normal man would.

He placed a morsel of fish into his mouth, and the rich juices, crispy skin, succulent flesh, and spicy flavor immediately captivated his senses.

What a satisfying feeling!!! Mag swallowed the fish and exhaled. He suddenly understood what he had been looking for while searching through one grilled fish restaurant after another.

This is the feeling! This is the flavor! This the grilled fish I’m looking for!

It was the perfect grilled fish in his heart!
