Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter

Well, today is a stroll in the King's Capital. I also came back to say that I could accompany you from Mimosa and I've been looking forward to it.

"... lady, it's time for a favor"

I was just doing my routine yoga and Tanya called me. Oh, you're already at that time. From there, hurry to take a shower and start supporting. I'm going out of town today, so I'm going to get dressed for "Alice”.

"Master Mimosa has arrived"

"Then you have to wait in the next room. 'Cause I'll be right there."

When the entrance is complete, go to the room next to my room. The room next door is my room, but assuming it's a private space where I was dressed until just now, the room next to it feels like my own reception room.

"Morning, Mimosa. Sorry about earlier in the morning."

"Morning, Iris. Oh... you look great."

"Mimosa is the one"

Mimosa is also going out of town today with patience, which means she's dressed more adultly than usual. A merchant's daughter, something like that.

"And I'm Alice in this outfit."

"What? That"

Mimosa feels intrigued.

"Fake name, fake name. Neither do I give my name much in the city... Besides, let's start with the shape, shall we? You just change your name, but you change your mind a lot."

I don't know what to say, I feel like an actress. By being called by that name, I guess I got into the role... kind of.

"I see... well, my name is Misha, please"

"Okay. Bye, Misha. Shall we go soon... and I'll introduce you before then? You know Tanya, but these two are Lyle and Dida, who are today's escorts."

The two who had refrained behind me would bow their heads softly when I made the introduction. Lyle could tell, but I felt somewhat uncomfortable because Dida usually feels floating.

"Nice to meet you... but I've heard your name a lot, so I don't feel like it's the first time. Thank you for your time today. And this is my escort, Harry and Dan."

Harry and Dan, who were holding back on Mimosa's side, each bow their heads.

"Harry, Dan. Thank you very much."

I greet the two of you too. Harry and Dan are here. Guard! Feels like it, feels a little harsh. I can't believe you're wearing something that looks like a personal outfit, so I guess it's better yet.

"Well, I don't have time for that, and I'm gonna go crisp."

First, I made my way to a coffee shop in Wangdu. Here you can have chocolate treats and desserts or something. Maybe Herbal Tea will sell later.

Take a peek, it looks glorious. People were lining up for me. There are many people in the city, not nobility, because we try to keep prices as low as possible.

"Shall we line up?"

"... Excuse me, Dear Alice. Shouldn't you give me your name and let me in here?

Tanya has gently advanced. Everyone thinks the same thing, like a hatena mark lined up over their heads.

"So there's no point in coming here without letting you know anything, is there? I need to see as a customer what the customer service is doing, what the products I'm serving look like, and what the people who are visiting the store look like. I'm taking a day today, including time to line up."

"Too much. Excuse me for imitating."

"Misha. That sounds like it, so I'll be walking and waiting quite a bit today, okay?

"Yeah, you're just fine because you're hungry just for walking when you walk"

"Then I'm glad."

Then we waited quite a while and finally let him in the store.... Should this expand the store? Let's see what's going on in the store.

The store is separated into two spaces, one for takeaway. The other is the coffee shop space.

Hmmm... maybe we should build a take-home sales location somewhere else as soon as possible. It takes a lot of space and sells it, so it's no different from a regular confectionery retailer. That said, let's buy it after we eat and go home… and some people will be thinking about it. So, you want me to put two together and move you to a big piece of land? Or the opening of Store 2? Hmm, bothering.

"Welcome. How many people?

"Seven."

"I'm sorry. If the seats are split in two, I can show you right away..."

"That's good."

So the seats are separate. The seats were close to each other when I saw them, so I Mimosa Lyle Tanya, the latter one being the combination of Harry Dida Dunn. At first, Tanya tried to make it a separate table from me, thinking about balance, but Tanya showed a difficult color. Me and my seat are leaving... Then he told me that Mimosa should change with Harry. On security, what about that, too? I thought so, but Mimosa said it was just comforting to have Lyle and Dida.... Somehow our two guards are trusted.

I asked for a cake set, and Mimosa asked for a set of assorted chocolate sauces with fruit. And after finishing my order, I just waited for it to come, and me and Mimosa were having a light chat.

This coffee shop system writes it down on paper once the waitress receives the order and passes the order through the kitchen. The paper is sandwiched in a numbered wooden plaque and stored at a counter for accounting. All those numbers are the same as the numbers on the wooden plaque placed at the edge of the table. And the wood plaque on the table is a tree with a stripped surface, but the back is painted white. When all orders are in place, make them white, and when there are additional orders, return them to the original. Of course, when you receive an additional order, write it on the paper at the accounting counter before passing the order.... as a system.

Also, it was difficult to calculate when accounting… so I tried to introduce an Abacus. When I was in Japan, when I was in elementary school, it was good to learn Abacus... The employees' kids seemed confused at first, but now they're used to it. Favourable for faster calculations, too. Considering that it might be a good idea to make them learn not only in coffee shops, but also in elementary classes in Ninglo territory… these days.

I was thinking about that in my head as I talked, and at some point I got what I ordered.

"Wow... looks delicious...!

Mimosa begins to eat with pleasure watching it. In my case, they always feed me prototypes when the cook here or Merida devises a new product, so there's no such thing as brand new. That said, I knew there was a difference between eating at a store and eating at home.

"...... Mmmm!! Yummy!"

Mimosa said that to me with satisfaction. Somehow, I'm as happy as I am.

"That's good to hear."

You'll be busy, but neither the customer service nor the items offered are cluttered. It really makes me happy that all my employees are doing their best.

"Speaking of which, why did you want to start a coffee shop?

Well, that's what Mimosa has heard. When I noticed, the plate in front of her was refreshingly clean.

"There's no reason I said this. But we had good ingredients... that's all."

"That's why I'm surprised it became so popular."

"In my case, I was blessed to be around."

The same goes for the environment in which they were placed, but Tanya and the others, who have been friends since they were little.... really, I think you're blessed.

"... Now it's time to leave"

That's how I finished eating while we were having a conversation, so when I finished accounting, I left the store.

"Next up is the beauty parlor. Take your time and take a tour of Wangdu."

Coffee and beauty shops are a short distance away, so walk quite a bit. Along the way, when you find a store, look inside and remember to see the general price of Wang Du.

"... oh?

Second, my leg stops on the way.

"What's wrong, Alice?

"I thought I saw Miss Yuri now..."

I was confused by the crowd and didn't see it well. Besides, I usually took people around me, so that was already noticeable… now I feel like there was one or two of them.

"Isn't that a mistake? She'll never come alone."

"... that too, yeah"

Maybe I was talking to Tanya about her after I met Mimosa the other day. Maybe its existence wasn't out of my mind.

I got back on my mind and headed to the next store.
