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

Chapter 489 I Don’t Care if You Don’t Love

Me

“Holy f*ck! What kind of shoddy music distribution website are you using? Can’t you go get a membership on QQ Music?” Mag grumbled.

“No! Free music distribution services are where I belong!” the system sternly refused.

“I’ll give you the money for a membership.” Mag pursed his lips.

“I’ll make an account right away!” The system’s joyful voice sounded in reply.

“F*ck off…” Mag grumbled internally.

After heated negotiations and bartering, Mag finally managed to purchase 1,000 classical compositions from the system for the price of a membership plus 3,000 copper coins. On top of that, he also purchased an album containing all of Jay Chou’s songs.

“Did Jay Chou release another new song recently?” Mag discovered that there was a song named “I Don’t Care if You Don’t Love Me” on the playlist, but it was gray and unplayable.

“It hasn’t been released yet, but it will be coming out soon. If you would like to purchase it after its release, you may do so at an additional cost. The system provides music with the best sound quality, and your satisfaction is guaranteed,” the system encouraged.

“I was the one who got you the membership.” Mag rolled his eyes. He was then drawn to the rather tsundere nature of the song title. He was wondering just what kind of new song this singer from his childhood would release.

Let’s test out this new sound system first. Mag rid himself of that train of thought before turning to Amy, who was chasing Ugly Duckling all around the restaurant. He smiled, and said, “Amy, I’m going to be playing some music. Don’t be frightened, it’s just a super big music box.”

Sally and Yabemiya had already left, so there was only him, Amy, and Ugly Duckling left in the restaurant.

“A super big music box?” Amy’s eyes lit up with curiosity and anticipation as she looked around, searching for this so-called music box.

“Let’s listen to ‘Ballade Pour Adeline’ first.” Mag tapped the screen as he made his decision. As a level 10 amateur pianist in his past life, the first piano composition that he had learned to play was this piece.

His mother had forced him to learn a lot of random pieces back then. In reality, the skill of playing piano proved to be absolutely useless after he grew up, but it was certainly true that learning to play a musical instrument taught him discipline.

Smoothly flowing piano notes began to play. This piece was extremely popular, often used as recess bells in the schools, phone ringtones, customer service waiting music, etc. It really did have a unique charm, and the spritely tune immediately made him feel more carefree and relaxed.

The effect created by the surround-sound system really was far more exceptional than that of a normal sound system. The sound quality was impeccable even to Mag’s picky ears, and he felt as if he had been transported to a concert hall, watching a live performance. It was as if the artist were sitting right in front of him, playing the piece exclusively for his listening pleasure.

A faint smile appeared on Mag’s face, and he was taken back to his childhood, when he was struggling to play his piano while his mother sat silently behind him.

At the time, they weren’t very busy yet, and even though they were quite strict, those times were still fond memories for Mag to look back on.

“Hahaha-“

Amy’s giggles snapped Mag out of his train of thought, and he turned around, only to discover her dancing with Ugly Duckling. Their dancing was very clumsy and casual, but the two of them were simply too adorable, and Mag also burst into laughter.

“Father, does this mean our restaurant will become a super big music box from now on? We live in the music box, and our customers can dine in the music box as well.” Amy turned to Mag with an excited expression.

“That’s right. Music can bring joy to people, so we should transmit this joy to all of our customers.” Mag nodded with a smile, and his heart was brimming with contentment at the sight of Amy. He really cherished the time that he could spend by her side. At the very least, he wouldn’t have any regrets if he were to look back on his life at a later date.

Mag lowered the volume of the music slightly. Beautiful music was enjoyable to customers, but he was opening a restaurant, not a dance hall. Delicious cuisine was the main thing he had to offer, not music. He couldn’t allow the music to distract the customers from his food.

“Amy, I have something else fun to show you. Come upstairs with me.” Mag patted Amy’s head with a smile before picking her up. He also picked up Ugly Duckling with his other arm and carried both of them upstairs.

“Something fun? What is it, Father?” Amy’s eyes lit up with curiosity.

“You’ll know soon.” Mag smiled as he carried Amy upstairs. He then gently pushed open the door to the previously vacant room on the second floor.

The door slowly opened, and a children’s playground filled with toys and recreational facilities was revealed.

“Wow…”

Amy’s eyes widened with incredulity as she looked at everything in the room.

“Meow-“

Ugly Duckling’s eyes also lit up with excitement.

“Father, is this really for me?” Amy turned to Mag, and she was still struggling to believe her eyes.

“Of course. This is a playground prepared especially for you. You can invite your other little friends to play here in the future.” Mag nodded with a smile. During the busy dinner service, Amy often had to sit behind the counter in boredom until closing time. Mag didn’t want to see her suffer like that, which was why he had spent so many gold coins to purchase a playground from the system.

“Father, you’re the best!” Amy planted a kiss on Mag’s cheek with an elated smile on her face. She didn’t have a single toy before, but she now had her very own playground. She could invite Jessica, Daphne, and her other little friends to play with her here in the future.

“This is just a small playground. I’m going to build you a bigger and better one in the future, with a massive ferris wheel, a merry-go-round, a rollercoaster, and it’s going to be 10,000 times bigger than this one.” Mag’s ego had been inflated by the kiss planted on his cheek by Amy, and he was brimming with confidence.

“Really?” Amy’s eyes immediately lit up. She didn’t know what those ferris wheels, merry-go-rounds, or rollercoasters were, but she was really looking forward to a playground that was 10,000 times the size of this one.

“Of course. When I earn enough money, I’ll build one for you.” Mag suddenly realized that he had made quite a far-fetched promise, but he simply couldn’t bear to take back his words at the sight of Amy’s expectant expression.

If I open up an amusement park, I have to drag a few idiots in to contribute to the construction costs. Mag made up his mind there and then.
