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

Chapter 984 Hada, Your Father Is Here, Searching For You

The boss of this factory was a good person. Not only was she pretty, she was also generous. After verifying his skills, she gave him the same pay as the rest of the tailors: 10,000 copper coins per month.

Even his daughter, Rachel, was able to get 3,000 copper coins as her pay. He hadn’t dared to expect that initially.

Furthermore, the work wasn’t very tiring. Although it was a two-shift system, there was plenty of resting time every day, and meals were provided—they were even better than those they had for their New Year celebration.

He had already decided to work here until he couldn’t move anymore so he could prepare a nice dowry for Rachel and marry her off to a nice family.

The master tailors were in charge of the main cloth making procedures, and the female workers were responsible for sewing the corners and removing excess threads in the adjacent workshop in a more relaxed environment.

A female worker finished her job, and while waiting for new excess threads to be removed, she softly whispered, “Have you heard? There’s a restaurant boss from a restaurant called Mamy Restaurant who put up a missing-person notice today. The city lord’s castle and Food Association forwarded it too.”

The female workers who weren’t very busy looked at her curiously. Only a pretty female worker who was sewing the corners in a corner remained unmoved.

“Really? That’s impressive! Who is that boss?” A female worker at the side couldn’t quite believe it. The other female workers had almost similar expressions.

“Of course, it’s true. I couldn’t sleep this afternoon, so I went for a walk in Aden Square. I saw it with my own eyes.” The female worker swore before she mysteriously continued, “By the way, do you know that restaurant is really impressive? The cheapest item on the menu there already costs 200 copper coins. The most expensive item even costs 2000 copper coins. If anyone finds this person, he or she can bring one person along with him or her to eat anything they like on the menu for free!”

“My heavens! 2000 copper coins for a helping of food! That’s too expensive? Are there really people who can afford it?” a female worker exclaimed.

“Yes. I can only afford one helping with one month of my pay…” All the female workers were astonished.

“Even though we can’t afford it, I deliberately went to have a look at the restaurant’s entrance. There was a long line of more than 100 people.” That female worker was satisfied that the others looked so shocked. Then, she smiled mysteriously, and said, “Furthermore, can you all guess whom I saw?”

“Whom?” All the female workers’ interest was piqued.

“I saw our boss, Miss Gloria. She, too, was lining up.” The female worker smiled.

“The delicacies that even Miss Gloria has to line up to eat? Now I believe that it costs 2000 copper coins for a helping.”

“Yes. Even someone as beautiful, graceful, and rich like Miss Gloria, huh. I wish I can go to that restaurant for a meal too.”

All the female workers looked wistful. The 2000 copper coins’ price made it impossible for them. They needed to support their family with 2000-3000 of monthly pay, so they couldn’t spend it carelessly.

“Cynthia, share with us quickly. What kind of person is he looking for? Maybe it’s someone we know! If we find him, we will be able to eat the same kind of food as Miss Gloria!” a female worker said excitedly.

All the workers looked toward that worker called Cynthia.

“I did memorize that,” Cynthia said a little smugly. “The missing-person notice said, an old man from Rodu was looking for his son who was lost 25 years ago. That child was called Beck Barzel. He had a black mole in between the middle-left of his eyes and a crescent-shaped scar at the back of his head…”

“Ah.” The female worker, who was embroidering the clothes in the corner, jerked, and the needle pricked her fingers. The pain made her cry out. Her eyes were widened as if she heard something unbelievable.

“Are you alright, Rachel?” Cynthia stood up and walked over to that pretty worker. She saw that her finger was still bleeding, so she rapidly removed her finger away from the clothes, and nervously said, “Why are you careless, Rachel? This is not a serious cut, but our pay will be docked if we dirty the clothes.”

Rachel didn’t care about her finger. She stood up immediately and grabbed Cynthia’s hands agitatedly. “Cynthia, you said that old man came from Rodu? The child was lost for 25 years, and he had a black mole in between his eyebrows?”

“Y-yes.” Cynthia nodded perplexedly. She looked at the agitated Rachel, and suddenly her eyes lit up. “Oh my! Rachel, do you know that person?”

Rachel didn’t answer her. Instead, she asked, “Where can I see that missing-person notice?”

“You can see it at the city lord’s castle gates and the Food Association’s magical screen on ranking in Aden Square,” Cynthia replied. She then curiously asked, “Do you really know a person like this? Who is it?”

“I am going out for a while.” Rachel put the clothes aside and jogged to the entrance.

“Hey, Rachel, it’s still operation hours! Where are you going?” Cynthia shouted loudly, and watched Rachel disappear out of the door. She dejectedly said, “What’s this? Still saying we’re good sisters? She just ran away without saying a word. I’m only curious. What’s so great about that meal?”

“Rachel?” Benjamin, who was in the next workshop, heard Cynthia’s voice. He was stunned for a minute before he walked toward the door. He stepped outside just in time to see Rachel’s back disappear at the end of the lane.

Benjamin frowned as he thought, This lass, where is she going so late in the night? He returned to the workshop again and continued sewing the clothes.

Rachel was always an obedient child since she was young. She had never made him worry before. She would definitely come back later.

…

A dainty figure ran all the way from the streets at the north of the city to Aden Square. She stood below the magical screen and panted as she raised her head to look at the missing-person notice on it. There, she saw that picture with familiar eyes and features.

Rachel teared up immediately. She cried as she chokingly said, “Hada… Your father is here, looking for you… Barzel, so Barzel was your surname. You remembered correctly…

“I have to tell him this news. He will be so happy.” Rachel wiped away her tears, then turned, and ran toward the north of the city.

Her clothes were soaked with her sweat. It was bone-chilling when the cold wind blew, but Rachel was full of smiles.

The little cripple who grew up with her, took a beating for her, and strove for her. The man she loved deeply. His father was finally here to look for him.

It had been so many years. Although he had never said it, she knew he would still miss home. That home which he couldn’t even remember very well.

“Hada! Hada! Open the door now, Hada!”

Rachel knocked hard on a door that was rather old.The most uptodat???? n????vels are published on novelenglish.net . (f)ire

The door creaked open, and Hada came out. He looked at the sweaty Rachel nervously. “What’s up, Rachel? Something happened? Are you alright?”

“Silly man, I’m fine.” Rachel shook her head. She said to Hada with tears in her eyes, “Hada, your father is here, searching for you! He’s really here!”
