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

In Chaos City on the Norland Continent, there is a strange restaurant. Here, elves and dwarves share tables. Beastmen are prohibited from making a din, and giant dragons can only seat around the tiny square in front of the restaurant. Even demons have to bring their own stools… But it is such a strange restaurant that has long lines outside every day. Elves are stuffing kebabs, paying no mind to their manners; giant dragons are sitting around a hot pot, strainers in their hands; demons are eating nice-looking dango… "There's no other place on this continent where you can find food like that! The boss here is a genius!" a customer provides such a review. Then, he gives a furtive look at the door. "Also, don't you think of kidnapping the boss away or dine-and-dashing, or you will suffer a tragic death." "Eat, pay, or you will be beaten to death." says a cute little girl in her childish voice as she trots forward. A five-meter tall dragon shivers when it meets her eyes.

He is a character who embodies the despair and displacement brought about by war. He's an old man who has been through a lot. Maybe he had a simple life before the war, but now all he has left is the bridge where he sits. He doesn't seem to have any strength or motivation to move forward, and his presence at the bridge is like a statement about the state of so many people during war.

The old man is a very passive figure. He seems resigned to his fate. He has lost his will to fight or move forward. He is more concerned about his animals than his own well - being, which shows his simple and kind nature. He is also very weary, likely from the stress and displacement caused by the war.

Oh my mother, ill-fated

"Why didn't you die outside?" "Then…should I leave?" Yang Xiangwei hesitated, wondering if it would be better for her to leave. "You dare!" Tai-shu Xiu raised his voice and shouted. Yang Xiangwei thought to herself, I really don't dare! "If you have the guts to disappear, why don't you have the guts to be with me?" Tai-shu Xiu approached her step by step, suppressing the anger in his heart. He questioned,"Don't tell me that he's dead because of your ex-husband. If he really cared about you, he would only want you to be happy. He wouldn't want you to find a substitute to sacrifice to him day and night." …… In short, this was the emotional chapter of "Quickly Dress Up: My Wife Is a High Deity", which was also our High Goddess Xiang Wei's "Records of a Straight Woman", and also someone's wife chasing fire. If you are impatient and want to read the plot in advance, you can read chapter 612 next door, but I can't guarantee that it will be the same style as this article.

The salted fish female supporting role, she just wants to lie down

Su Miaoyu had liked to read novels since she was young. She was extremely envious of the plot in the novel. She was arrogant and fell in love with the fast-acting and face-slapping type of novels. She could not help but want to learn all kinds of skills. Su Miaoyu, who was not afraid of death, did all kinds of things that could transmigrate, but she did not get the system that could help her realize her wish of face-slapping. It was just that when she had already given up on the ward area and was ready to step into the nursing home to enjoy her old age with her old friends, she was taken away by the salted fish revival system that was decades late to carry out a mission. The dumbfounded Su Miaoyu refused to admit defeat and prepared to be a salted fish. However, reality did not cooperate. In addition to the various instigations of the system at the beginning, she finally managed to subdue the system as a little fan. However, the system's superior could not see her comfortable. Every time she transmigrated, there would be a problem with the plot or someone would cause trouble. Su Miaoyu, who was a salted fish, didn't want to make a comeback at all. Unfortunately, she owed the system a huge sum of money and could only think of ways to fulfill her dream of being a salted fish while paying off the debt. In the first world, she had finally fallen in love with a single mother, but she was stabbed by Mo Chengyuan, who was controlled by the world's consciousness. From then on, she had a shadow over men. In the second world, she even met Mo Chengyuan, who had the same name as her and looked the same as her. Her mission in this world was to survive from him, and Su Miaoyu, who had no plot hints, lived carefully… (I don't know if there will be a male protagonist in this novel. According to my initial expectations, there will be one, but it's hard to say for sure now. Everyone, be careful.)
