Chapter 2313: Actually I Had My Reasons

After sending Luna and Byron away, Mag returned to the restaurant. Just as he was about to clear the table, Irina came down in her bathrobe and looked at Mag smilingly.

Mag sensed a hint of danger from her smile.

Indeed, Irina immediately asked, “I seemed to have heard someone say he wanted to give his granddaughter to you when I was bathing earlier?”

“Really? Oh, Byron was drunk earlier, so he might have said something weird. I wasn’t listening to him intently.” Mag had an ‘I have no idea at all’ expression on his face.

Irina glared at him, but she didn’t pursue the topic. She pulled out a chair and sat down. “You mentioned the traces of the God of the Sea, so what was the situation?”

The existence of gods had always been a vague concept to Irina too.

The elves believed in the God of Life and she had even obtained the recognition of the Tree of Life.

However, apart from that little connection, she couldn’t ascertain if the gods really existed, or perhaps she should say… if the gods were still alive?

Mag and Gina had gone to the traces of the God of the Sea, whom the Lantisdeans believed in, and even brought Kiddo back.

Be it Kiddo’s mysterious aura, or Gina, who suddenly advanced to become a 10th-tier great magic caster, this matter’s connection with the gods made her very curious.

“We went to where Lantisde used to be. Gina used the Magical Pearl of the Sea to get into the traces of the God of the Sea…” Mag told Irina what happened at the traces.

Irina listened to him intently and revealed a thoughtful expression every now and then. After Mag finished telling his account, Irina asked, “In this case, are there many little spaces that we have no idea about, existing in the world, and are the gods hiding in those spaces? Are they perhaps dead, or have they entered into reincarnation again while still maintaining a connection with this world?”

“There is such a possibility.” Mag nodded. “Judging from Kiddo’s reaction towards Annie, the gods might have battled to the death with the Great Old Ones back then. This hostile relationship is even imprinted onto both parties’ souls. They remembered it even after reincarnation.”

“Then, will Kiddo be a god when she grows up?”

“About that… I’m not very certain, either.” Mag shook his head. However, it seemed to be quite an achievement to rear a God of the Sea.

Irina crossed her arms and judgingly said to Mag, “Now that you and Gina have a child, what do you intend to do?”

“You know that doesn’t count.” Mag scratched his head.

“I know that doesn’t count. However, do you think that people will still think of you as a chaste man when Kiddo calls you father, and Gina mother, in front of everyone?

“Although we have a child together, we are not married.

“Do you think everyone is stupid, or are you stupid?” Irina said with a smirk.

Mag was rendered speechless. Even though that was the truth and he was a chaste man, just as Irina described, as long as Kiddo was raised in the public’s eyes, that situation would be inevitable.

Gina and his relationship would definitely become different in public because of this child.

And this… to Irina, was, without any doubts, a form of betrayal.

Mag stole a peek at Irina. She was still sitting calmly right now. She didn’t even take out the folding chair. This had already greatly exceeded his expectations.

“How about we come clean with it?” Mag said to Irina.

“What will happen after we come clean? Close the restaurant? Leave Chaos City? Where do you want to go? What do you want to do?” Irina asked him five thoughtful questions.

Mag looked at Irina and suddenly found her to be very adorable. He took a step forward to get closer to her and asked, “If we can’t come clean, then give me a chance to pursue you. Even with another identity, I still hope that you will be Mamy Restaurant’s lady boss.”

Irina looked at Mag quietly for a while before suddenly asking, “What race do you prefer? Elf? Maiden with animal’s ears? Little vixen? Big Sister Succubus?”

“As long as it is you, any race will do,” Mag answered honestly.

“So, how would you like me to enter the scene? A young maiden who is mesmerized by your food, or the return of Amy’s mother?” Irina asked again.

Mag pondered seriously for a while before saying, “I think the return of Amy’s mom sounds rather good.”

Compared to the lousy plot of an innocent maiden being tricked by a chef, Mag preferred the plot of the return of Amy’s mysterious mother, who would become the restaurant’s lady boss.

It was perfectly justifiable. Mag had even come up with the lines.

“It’s you?”

“It’s you!”

“Why did you leave me and your daughter so cruelly back then?!”

“Actually I had my reasons, but now, I am back.”

***

See, how impactful those lines were.

“Won’t I become a materialistic woman then?” Irina frowned.

“As long as you are strong enough, that problem won’t exist.”

“There is only one Irina in this world.”

“To a restaurant’s boss, a senior elf is already a very powerful existence. It doesn’t have to be Irina.” Mag shrugged.

“I got it.” Irina nodded. Then, she suddenly said, “However, if I can’t even control the little maidens in your restaurant, would this lady boss be a lady boss?”

“This… as long as you are happy.” It wasn’t nice for Mag to comment.

“Alright. This is settled then. I will put on a great comeback show tomorrow.” Irina curved her lips slightly.

***

Gina tucked the blanket in for Kiddo. She lay down and turned her body to look at her with a gentle smile on her lips.

She didn’t know why, but looking at her made her feel calm and settled.

Her wandering heart seemed to have finally found a place to settle in ever since Lantisde fell into the Underground City.

In this world, apart from Boss, she had another person to look forward to being around now.

Kiddo was so adorable and so tiny. She needed her care and guidance to grow.

Gina didn’t feel very confident about herself, but she very much believed in Kiddo.

Kiddo was simply too clever. She could learn anything immediately.

However, Gina was a little worried too. Would Kiddo leave when she was older? After all… she was the God of the Sea.

“Meow meow~” Kiddo turned over. She grabbed Gina’s arm, pressed her little face against her arm and smiled innocently.

Gina felt her heart melting.

Oh forget it. It didn’t matter if she was the reincarnation of the God of the Sea or not, she was her daughter now.

“Goodnight, Kiddo.” Gina kissed Kiddo’s forehead gently, closed her eyes and slept.

***

Even after a tough night, Mag still woke up early the next morning to make breakfast for everyone.

He was rather looking forward to Irina’s appearance today. He wondered how she would appear and declare her sovereignty as the Mamy Restaurant’s lady boss.
