Labyrinth Restaurant

"Alice, I'm here!... Mm, who?

"Welcome"

After lunch one day, as usual, when Prince Simon came to the Demon King's Restaurant for a pair of oysters, a strange brunette girl dressed in service clothes with the same design as Alice greeted him.

When Simon was bewildered by the unexpected development, Alice, who had cleaned up the empty dishes in the store, noticed him and greeted him.

"Oh, Simon, you're here, Claude. Lisa, I'd like your information."

"Yes, sir, I'll show you to your seats."

"I see, you got a new paycheck in there"

Apart from Alice in this store, Cosmos and other homunculus work from time to time, so Prince Simon immediately swallowed the situation as well.

"Menu please, call me when you decide to order"

"Well, what are you going to eat today"

I've only been helping my parents' western restaurants since elementary school and Lisa's customer service has been quite sumptuous. After guiding Simon around, he still does the order taking, accounting, cleaning up the table, etc. and doesn't seem like a newbie to work for.

Simon, impressed, told Alice, who came to take the order.

"Alice, you seem to have a pretty good service in there. You just called me Lisa, she's a brave man with the same name."

Alice replied with a laugh when she heard it and tickled.

"Hehe, well, that's about as much as I teach"

In fact, Lisa is a better veteran than Alice, who hasn't worked in a restaurant for a year alone. The Homunculus are newcomers but in a substantially ace-like condition because they have no experience, even if they have knowledge.

And unlike Cosmos, you don't have to say or do anything strange. "

"... Yes"

Alice nodded heavily. Cosmos is talented and not sotty at work, but a lot of weird things to say and do are flaws in the balls.

"It sounds like a clown and funny for me to watch beside you, too, but you can't just put Alice through a hard time"

"More than anything you understand..."

Simon, as an individual, I like the fact that Cosmos is interesting to watch, but the only difficulty is that teasing Alice is a hobby.

"By the way, I've been learning a lot about swordsmanship lately, and this is interesting."

Claude, are you serious?

"Uhm, you look strong like this, don't you? My father and older brothers also received swordsmanship moves, but no one has taken one yet."

"Well, that's amazing"

Claude also looks like just a favorite, but he has the strength and proven track record of being entrusted with the royal escort alone while he is an old man. It still looks like a whole waist at first sight doing this, but it is possible to control it easily if you are about ten or twenty bad guys because you are planting a dark vessel under your butler's clothes and you also have magic skills.

"No, it lights up when you can lift it so much."

Claude, who was quietly listening to Simon and Alice's conversation to keep out of the way of the conversation, was fluttering even when he heard the topic was right for him.

"Sooner or later, I'll be stronger than I am and protect Alice."

"Heh heh heh heh heh"

"Young man, will you double the amount of morning training from tomorrow?

"Uhm! No, double is not enough, triple is fine!

Claude has also already guessed that Alice in front of him is much stronger than herself and doesn't need to be protected by anyone, but I won't point out that because of this my beloved apprentice motivated me to water that motivation. It's something that grows more motivated by everything.

"Job Description: Customer Service and Cooking Operations. Working Hours: When you feel like it. Wages: I Just Want It In Words'

When Lisa asked the Demon King if she could work part-time to get funding for her activities in different worlds, she was offered these ridiculous conditions.

"Lisa, is there a problem?

"It's more of a problem"

It's convenient when it comes to working hours because there's also help with schools and houses, but what world on earth has an employer that pays part-time in words? I was here.

At first, Lisa also wondered if the Demon King was joking or telling a joke, but she held her head when she saw a massive amount of gold taken out of nowhere tried to give her a cloth bag with a giddy "advance".

The bag measures roughly ninety litres of garbage bags. The floor of the store is stained due to the fact that more than ten pieces were left unmade, and the big hole is going to be empty now.

I just thought I'd make a little penny, but it's been outrageous. I think I can buy a castle without joking.

"Demon King, you don't need so much. Right, about this..."

In the end, Lisa told the Demon King that, within common sense, she decided to get paid half at a time in the currency of the other world and in the Japanese yen for convenience. The Demon King and Alice still possess a large number of Japanese yen that could not be used on previous trips. Specifically, there are just 10,000 bills for two suitcases.

It should be noted that even though I have reduced my salary to a common sense range, Lisa is also pretty solid with this as I have decided to do a little more than a regular high school part-time job.

"Lisa, the boy in that seat is Simon, and the old man across the street is Claude."

"Yes, those are the two of you over there. Are there any precautions?

With fewer and fewer guests on the floor, Lisa had been taught the names and characteristics of regular guests by Alice. To help you serve customers by knowing what ingredients you like, what ingredients you don't like, and whether you have allergies.

"Is that a precaution…, yes, be sure to flag the dishes served to Simon"

"Flag? Is it like a children's lunch?

"Yeah, because he seems to like it. Flags are built and placed in the kitchen, so use them."

This is a slightly special case in point, but this kind of detailed care delights me.

"Well, it's about time you ordered Simon, so can you carry it?"

"Sorry to keep you waiting, this is the strawberry parfait you ordered"

"Um, this looks delicious"

The same flag stood at the top of the strawberry parfait carried by Lisa as your child's lunch. Simon nods satisfied when he sees it.

"This is a fancy treat, where did you get it from?"

Inside an elongated glass vessel for parfait, strawberry sorbet, vanilla ice cream, raw cream, custard cream, and strawberry mousse are giddy packed, and beautifully cut raw strawberries are radially embellished at the top. Strawberry red fruit sparkles and is as gorgeous as a bouquet of roses.

"I don't like the Demon King, but I have to admit I'm the only one with cooking skills."

If you poke raw strawberries with a fork and put them in your mouth, the refreshing acidity and sweetness spreads to the point where your brain is occasionally paralyzed.

Next, try eating the raw cream under the top strawberry with plenty of strawberry fruit involved. The strawberry flavor is complemented by the soft milk flavor of the cream, which makes it even better than eating it as it is.

Furthermore, sometimes with custard, ice cream, etc., sometimes if you eat alone, the taste will always be 'strawberry flavor', but change and depth will be created, and you will not be bored.

"How about a warm cup of tea?

"Um, let's have it"

Overall, it's a cold treat, so if you're eating it, your mouth will get cold, but if you eat it over a warm cup of tea, it'll be delicious to the end. Lisa poured a tea change out of the pot when she saw Simon's cup empty.

But when Simon lifted a cup with hot tea to his mouth,

"Shit!?"

I accidentally slipped my hand off a cup of Minato's tea.

Simon looked like slow motion with hot liquid spreading in the air. Hot water on your body as it is and it can be a big burn...... but it didn't.

Simon closed his eyes unexpectedly with a feeling of heat and pain, but after all this time he didn't feel the heat, and he didn't hear the cup crack.

When you open your fearful eyes,

"Were you okay?

Lisa's face with a cup of tea went into view. And the wonder was that the tea that was supposed to have spilled in the air was stored in the cup.

"Become!?... Thank you, Lisa. Young man, your liver is cold."

Claude thanked Lisa for what looked like a terrible surprise.

"I'm sorry, duh. Worried."

If you look at it, Claude's coat of butler clothes was on Simon's body. If I was sitting in the next seat, I could have pulled Simon away and made him avoid it, but this time I was sitting in the opposite seat, so I threw the jacket I was wearing at my discretion to mitigate some damage. Though I ended up preparing luckily and unnecessarily during my misfortune.

"Lisa, thank you for your help. In the name of my father, I will return this favor."

"No, not quite."

Simon also remembered thanks to Lisa for her help and lowered her head to say thank you.

"But it's strange. It did look like it spilled out of the cup, but was it your fault?

Again, this time sipping tea with due care not to take it off, Simon was wondering in retrospect of what had happened earlier. It was indeed in the cup again after the liquid that was supposed to have splashed in the air closed its eyes for a moment.

Normally, it would mean Simon's mistake.

"No, young man, it's not my fault. Miss Lisa, she's not the only one."

"What? Well, what do you mean?

Claude's mobile vision, which had been forged over the years, captured what had barely happened in that moment.

At that moment, Lisa saw through the orbit of scattering liquid without a drop and was taking everything between moments in the cup she grabbed in the air. It's exactly the stunt you deserve to call divinity.

"The world is no longer wide open to masters who do such divine work lightly and serve restaurants."

"I didn't know there was someone in Shirai who would make me say that, but I don't know the same name as the brave man... the world is really big. Hmm, I have to be strong soon! Five times, no, ten times more training from tomorrow!

"Yes, then don't hesitate to go bissi!

Simon's motivation seems to have caught fire because he saw divinity unexpectedly. Claude is also beginning to work out a plan for training from the next day quickly in his head to see if he was inspired by the motivation of his beloved apprentice.

"Can I one day be like Lisa, the great savior?

"Yeah, I'm sure I can be."

Simon muttered the name of the coveted hero he was aiming for and once again burned his enthusiasm.

It is a little further before they know that the brave man, who is supposed to have returned to the original world, and the girl wiping the table in front of them, are the same person.
