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.

In this short story, the setting of the bridge is significant. It's a liminal space, neither here nor there, much like the old man's situation. He is stuck, not fully part of the war - torn land on either side. The story also reflects on the powerlessness of the individual in the face of large - scale conflict. The old man has no real control over his fate as the war rages around him.

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.
