Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

159 . To the earth (terra)

I have decided that I will stay away from Vanel Kingdom and the new Continent for a while, so lets settle some business on Earth and Sabines Kingdom uhh, what is its official name again?

I frequently check the mailbox in my home in japan, I also do the [Im living fine] appeal to the neighbor, theres no problem .

And I made an announcement to each country via Captain-san using the previous abduction case as an excuse, stating that [I will refrain from visiting the Earth for a while because I had consumed a lot of vitality in retaliation measures] . So, theres no problem in that regard too . I also stated that [Since I dont want to waste my vitality anymore, the next time I take retaliation, I will destroy everything in one shot without holding back] so that I can rest assured for the time being .

Captain-san was laughing over and over while saying something like [Have you ever held back?]!

And I came to my shop the gallery caf [Gold Coin] .

Today is a weekday, during the busy hours in the evening, I gently look inside through the window

Ooh, there are more costumers that I thought! Whats going on?

No, I guess its better to have a lot of customers and make profit rather than to be in a slump .

But to be honest, I didnt really expect the store to thrive or make money .

After all, I hired a minor girl who used to prepare meals for the whole orphanage, and a girl who is specialized in self-defense and [Even if its crowded, I can move without colliding with people by controlling my bodys center of gravity, so I think I can be a waitress . Maybe], a complicated set of two girls, I guess I put the wrong kind of expectation on them .

In addition, both of them looks overly diligent and theyre not so amiable . Theyre not the kind that could be popular with costumers . How in the world the store is popular like this

However, they dont seem to be bad in cooking . The menu seems to meet the demand, the price is reasonable, the taste is decent, and the place is comfortable . I guess its natural that customers are coming .

In this case, perhaps, I can get a reasonable profit even after paying the necessary expenses and the labor costs?

Oooh, excluding the gallery part, originally, I wasnt expecting the shop to make profit! I guess they are working hard to get their 10% commissions .

Alright, lets go into the store .

I have reminded both of them many times that when I come to the store as a customer, they should treat me as an ordinary costumers without any special treatment . I didnt want to get in the way when theyre busy, and its not amusing for the customers to see other customer receiving special treatment .

Besides, its not good for the safety if they know that Im the owner .

Even if the hired manager and clerk are young girls, if theres a proper adult on their back is one thing, but if its known that the owner is a little lass, theyll be belittled and turned into a good target by the city thugs and gangsters .

Well, to counter that, I set up the shop near the police station and went to say hello to the chief and staff members, I gave them souvenirs too

In this country, I dont have to worry about such a thing yet . The police and military are still treated as respectable people who are working in dangerous field for the country and the citizens . So no one will complain if someone donate or give the something personally .

But, actually, I didnt really need to do that .

Right, of course theres an order from the top of the country .

The elites in the country, who are doing the tax exemption measures, background checks when I was doing the employees recruitment, and so on, have the obligation to keep my store safe . Naturally, there will be special instructions for the surrounding police stations, and if things went poorly, theres high possibility that they will send a lookout .

However, there is no way to prevent sudden entanglement and violence, or the use of guns and knives at the cashiers . Therefore, in such a case, I told the girls to give the money without resisting .

But, once they know that they could take money from little girls without any risk, the robbers would come every day just like how they come to an ATM . no, rather than [ATM] it would be [Automatic Cash Dispenser] .

Anyway, there are plenty of security cameras placed around here to warn the criminals that itll not end just like that once they had their hands on us . And even if they dont do it on the spot, we can investigate the footage and make sure to get them later .

Not only the culprit themselves, but also their fellows and organization to which they belong, the money routes, Ill crush everything . Then Ill drive the words [Dont lay your hand there] into the top of the organization until theyre in the verge of tears .

Yep, with that, Im sure the store and the girls would be safe .

The doorbell rang, and the waitress Silua glanced this way, but she expressionlessly ignored me . U~n, they dont seem to say [Welcome] to the costumers .

Well, theres no merit in giving such a formal word, and she automatically recognizes that a new costumers has arrived because the doorbell rang . If so, then theres no need to greet every new costumers and have the eyes of the other costumers gathered on them . Thats the way of thinking of the people around here .

I tried to train the Japanese-style costumer service that had a reputation around the world, but I was overwhelmed by Rudina and Silua in that regard . Well, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, thats why, I left everything to the two .

I dont have the courage or the audacity to occupy the table by myself, so I sat at the very end of the vacant counter seat .

And, when I open the menu

A Venn-diagram? (Mitsuha)

Yes, on the first page that opens, there is a figure that looks like several overlapping circles . I learned it at school, its the thing that visualizes relations between a collection of different sets .

There are three overlapped circles of different colors .

The red circle is [Low price group] . The blue circle is [Healthy group] . And the yellow circle is the [Large portion group] . The name of each dish is written in each group, and the details of each dish are written on the following pages . yeah, they thought it well .

Toast, pasta, curry . Un-un, its the standard menu .

Porridge, dumpling soup, mashed potatoes U-un, its orphanages specialty .

Fried rice, pizza certainly, she said shes not good with anything except for dishes that are cheap and can be produced in large quantity at once but why frozen food!?

Well, frozen foods are quite delicious now, and frozen fried rice can be decent if its finished in a frying pan instead of a microwave

then, porridge, croquette, and black tea (Mitsuha)

I said my order to Silua who came here with a glass of water .

In the other world theres not much rice dishes, and if I cook rice for myself at my home in Japan, one serving is too few to be delicious, if I cook for two serving therell be too much leftovers, if I buy the cooked one at the supermarket, they only sell the 3-packs or more, thats why I dont really eat rice . Its no good to put the leftovers in refrigerator after all .

Owner, coming! One porridge, one croquette, and one black tea! (Silua)

Yeees!! (Rudina)

Rudinas reply came from the back .

The simple dishes are done on the other side of the counter, but dishes that use large pots such as soups, curries, stews etc . are performed in the kitchen at the back, which cannot be seen from the costumers seats . or so it seems, but the real reason is to make the customers unable to see the lazy parts .

Well, theres no one who expect authentic food in a small shop where therere only little girls that manages it, besides, you must not hurt the dreams and romance of men who long for [Girls handmade] . Thats why, the microwave is set so that it doesnt make beeping sounds .

So what are these four little holes on the counter in front of me?

Beautiful holes aligned in a straight line at 5 to 6 mm intervals . And theyre somehow have dark red color . Ummm

Thank you for waiting (Silua)

After a while, Silua brought the food .

Well, because its porridge and croquette, it doesnt take too long .

But I think its better if she serves with a bit more energetic . With such a blank expression is a bit

Well, whatever, the fact that costumers are still coming means that its not a big deal .

First of all, lets eat the croquette using the fork ah .

I suddenly have the urge to stick the tip of the fork to the holes .

. its perfect fit

But why theyre dark red? And the hole is also deep

I stopped thinking because I had some scary thoughts .

And I was completely unaware .

To inform my visit to Rudina in the kitchen at the back, Silua did not say [Order coming] when she took my order earlier, but she used some kind of sign like [Owner, coming!] tte, as if thats a sign!!
