The plain and unnoticed me is no more

"Ah! Uh, Lana...."

When I tried to go back to my room to get dressed, Chiyo stopped it in an unfortunate way.

"What's wrong? Chiyo?"

"Um, I need to talk to you about something...."

I was worried about the unusual tone of mouth, and I encouraged him to go further.

I'm a little worried that it might be so difficult to say.

"Yeah, what do you want to talk about?

"Ah, just get dressed. Lana in that outfit is kind of going crazy...."

"... well, hold on a second. I'll get dressed soon."

I hurried back to my room, changed into my usual outfit, changed my makeup, and headed to the cafeteria where Chiyo waited.

Then, Chiyo, who was sitting in the counter seat, read the letter with a sharp expression.

The letter was in the folded state of a half-paper as seen in the era play, and when I peeked from behind, I couldn't understand what was written because it was too sharp.

"A letter from your parents?

In response to my question, Chiyo turned around and nodded with cockroach.

"So, what do you want me to talk to you about?

"... actually, um... it seems my parents are starting a restaurant. So, apart from this, I received a letter from my father asking me to send a cook to school here a while ago...."

"You want to teach me my recipe?

"Yes... I can't, can I?

"I don't mind."

"After all, it's no good, just write me a rejection letter... eh? Are you sure?

Chiyo seemed to think that I would refuse, surprised that I had been accepted without hesitation, and looked at my face twice.

When she purchased ingredients from Japan, she couldn't refuse her father's request before asking her parents about the price of the ingredients. Even though she couldn't refuse to tell me, Saki-san, the substitute, came directly to the inn this time to ask for a reply.

I was in the room today without going out, so what was Chiyo going to do alone when he called me and said that he had solved it right away?

Speaking of which, when we had just started a rice ball shop, Chiyo, who had violated the rule of selling tuna mayonnaise recipes for a high price without my permission, was quite angry with Singh when he bragged about it at some point without realizing that it was bad until recently.

As far as I'm concerned, I was able to cover the purchase cost of this inn, so I didn't complain about it.

Besides, Tuna and Mayonnaise were nothing unusual in my previous life, and I was rather lucky that they bought them at a high price.

Chiyo, who knew how important a cooking recipe was to the cook, was difficult to tell me about his last mistake, even though it was a request from his parents.

"Sure. Instead, the kitchen is small, so please accept up to two people at a time. And we can't find a place to sleep."

"Thank you! Don't worry about where to stay. Besides, the people who come here are well equipped with the basics of cooking, so please make Lana more and more comfortable with her work."

"Fufu, it's never easy to teach people something. But Chiyo's house is very well taken care of, and this is a good opportunity to repay him."

Chiyo bowed his head to me many times and expressed his gratitude throughout his body.

I thought there was something I wanted to talk to you about. I got nervous for a moment when you told me you wanted to quit.

"Let me know when to start. I have to talk to Singh and Taki."

"Yes, thank you. So, I'd like to talk about the recipe usage fee at 10% of sales. How about that?

"What? You take the money?

Knowledge of that area is not available to me now, nor to me in my previous life. Can I get money for a home-cooked recipe?

It takes time and effort to make and provide the ingredients, so I naturally get paid, but if it's just a recipe, I feel a little guilty.

"Of course. I'll take it from where I can."

"... I'll leave that to Chiyo. I need money for the future."

"The future?

"Yes, I hope to open a hot spring inn in the future. It seems that my power to heal people can be used effectively, right?

"Very nice! Hot springs! But then what do we do here?

I don't want to let go if I can, but if I leave this to someone, I think there is only Chiyo. But if you do, you'll be separated from Chiyo. It's troublesome.

"I haven't decided yet. 'Cause I don't even know if I can make it happen."

"Let's make it happen! You can leave this to someone else. Okay, that's exciting! I'll do my best to save up the money."

"Ooh!

He shook his arm up to me, tied to a chiyo who shook his fist and declared himself cheerful. Then they laughed at each other and talked to Chiyo about the future like a dream story.

And the next morning, before returning to Japan, Saki-san showed up at the inn again, so Chiyo explained first and I decided to speak directly.

Saki-san was very pleased to hear from Chiyo that I had taken on the pleasure of making a good report to my husband.

"Good morning. Nice to meet you. My name is Lana the General."

"My name is Sakichi Otaniya, and I am a substitute. Thank you for listening to our unreasonable request this time."

"Thank you very much for your help. So, when was the cook?

"Actually, the cook is already in this country...."

Mr. Sakichi said that he wanted to try what kind of food he was serving and put it on the boat this time.

And if the conversation is well organized, the cooks bring things around them for immediate apprenticeship.

"In that case, it would be better if it were done sooner. I'll talk to the other cooks today, so can I start tomorrow?

"That's a hopeless story."

"This is the boat we were talking about. Recently, I was away from the inn on another job and I was afraid the kitchen would be short of manpower."

I see. Then please do not hesitate to use one of us while the General is away. "

The discussion with Mr. Sakichi went smoothly, and I had less to worry about.

Thin and Taki were the only ones who could get around the kitchen, but I thought they'd be in trouble when one of them got sick.

My absence means that I can't reset my day's fatigue after eating my cooking. Besides, I was wondering if I could ask Taki, who is the busiest, to do some front desk work.

During the discussion, we negotiated to have Otaniya turn over the human resources in case of trouble in the future, including Chiyo's suggestion to take 10% of the sales as a royalty for the recipe.

Then, when Saki-san explained fluently in the language of this country to Shin and Taki, who came to work a little while later, Shin and Taki took on the pleasure surprisingly.

"It's decided, Sin, Taki, please start tomorrow."

"Oh, leave it to me."

"Yeah, don't worry about Chiyo-chan. I'll help you. When will Lana go to the temple?

"I'll come back to Irina for that explanation. I think it will probably be a long time before work begins in earnest. In the meantime, I'm going to teach my apprentices how to cook."
