The Silver Kiln Pavilion, Kouga's boarding house, is an everywhere inn and restaurant. Although it is a store with seasons, it is well cleaned and does not taste like a bad meal. Although it declines compared to the Shizukukan of the stars where Noel is staying, its accommodation cost was cheap and there was no dissatisfaction.
Also, the price of food as well as accommodation is purse friendly. Because of its volume and good flavour, it is also busy with many regular guests at lunch.
The store is still very busy today.
"Kouga, carry this dish too!
"Okay, right away!
Ursula, the woman general, asks me, and Kouga, in an apron, carries the dish he can serve to the table. Ursula, the master of the silver kiln pavilion and cook, is a middle-aged woman with a good breadth. He stands in the kitchen, swinging lavishly an iron pan with his thick arms, making new dishes without resting.
When Kouga finished carrying the dish, Ursula's loud, well-traveled voice sounded.
"Kouga, I'll have a new dish too!
"Yes! I get it!
You can cook next. I have to carry the dishes I can right away, but that's not all I do.
"Brother, I'll take your order. Uh, first of all, ale."
"Hey, nice to meet you"
"Hey, how long are you gonna keep me waiting outside? Make sure you can sit down quickly."
"Shh, I'll be there in a minute. So, no, wait!
I have to take the order, and I have to do the accounting after the customer finishes the meal and the cleanup. It was always necessary to move with my head in order to do everything in good order.
I started helping silver kiln pavilions during the Explorer (Seeker) business for nearly a month. I've gotten used to this job a lot, but still, when I'm busy, my eyes are about to turn. For once, it could be harder than the Seeker industry.
But working as a waiter was fun. I don't hate the Seeker business, but for Kouga, who has lived with the knife for a long time now, it's a fresh experience to work that doesn't stink of blood.
A notebook and pen that takes orders instead of a knife, an apron instead of armor, even if I'm just making this stand, I feel like I've been reborn to another me.
"Brother, your work here is getting better."
A regular old man laughs in one hand at Yale.
"I couldn't even get a lot of orders at first, but it's a big deal"
"Really, thank you"
I don't feel bad about being praised. Kouga smiled happily. But if Noel hears this story, he'll be angry.
"Explorer (Explorer) is happy to be praised for his work as a waiter!!! You big idiot!!!
- And it's visible to be yelled at.
Noel is scared when he gets angry. Even Kouga, who is used to that hand race, is going to leak his piss when caught off guard because he yells like a yakuza in Dos' dominant voice at the habit of looking cute like a girl.
My heart was about to be broken by a severe storm of reprimand, such as when I received acting instruction in an operation to defeat the Ghost Wolf Dog (Garm). Even Leon, the elder, was hiding and weeping, so that horror is real. Just remembering is enough to make your blood draw and your body tremble.
"... excuse me, I'm in the way"
"Wow, su, sorry!
Kouga, who was standing still, jumped back into a cold, inorganic voice. The girl in the waitress clothes - her colleague Naina - walks by quietly.
Naena is Ursula's daughter. However, the appearance is not similar and Ursula is large both vertically and horizontally, while Nena is small and luxurious. Her face is delicate and elegant. The large almond-shaped eyes and the red lips on the white, clear skin are appealing. The white hair stretching up to her waist was wrapped up in ribbons to keep her out of the way of work, shaking like a tail every time Naina moved.
She's such a beautiful, sober girl. But with a personality that doesn't put emotions on the table much, even when responding to customers, they don't even smile. According to the story of Ursula, her mother, she gave up because caution would not change. It is not that the service is a store for sale, and there will be no need to constrain the quality of customer service.
Nevertheless, the work itself is quick and accurate. Even calculating change is much faster than Kouga, and Naina is in charge of the store's books.
That's why I felt a little spared. If you can work well, it's possible to be active in the wider world. Besides, I'm not talking about how someone else's kouga in red can talk.
As I was desperately doing my job, the peak of the busy noon passed. The customers in the store are sparse, and the businessmanship just now seems to be a lie. Open until 2 o'clock during the day. We still have time, but it's an easy job from here.
"Hey! Why don't you do something about it!?
I could hear you inadvertently intimidating someone. Turning his gaze, Nena was tangled in a pair of chimps.
"There was a cockroach in this dish!? Apologize! Yet what are you keeping quiet!?
To the breathing man, Naina opened her mouth with a troublesome face.
"I will say, then, that our food is carefully checked before serving to our customers. So cockroaches can't get mixed up."
"That's you!? You're telling me we're lying!?
"Yes, you're right"
"Oh, my God, I'm gonna fucking kill you!
At the same time the man stood up furiously, Kouga broke in between them.
"Hey, what the hell!?
"I'm also an employee of Konjo's.... I let you talk crazy, but the dish you asked for got a cockroach in it?
"Oh, yeah! And this woman is lying and calling us all out! How can you take responsibility for me?!? Now it's too late to apologize!
"Thanksgiving! Give me the fucking reward!
A man with him shouts in tune.
Kouga saw the dish that had cockroaches in it. True, it has black bugs in it. However, as Naena said, silver kiln pavilions do not fail to check no matter how busy they are to avoid the mixing of foreign objects.
Of course, it doesn't mean there are absolutely no mistakes. But these men are definitely lying. It goes without question that these men are half grey who make extortion their business, judging by the way they intimidate themselves with the aim of obtaining money from the outset, to a style that does not seem to be solidity. I guess the cockroach prepared itself and put it in.
A district with a silver kiln pavilion is not a very secure place, so occasionally a chimp of this nature comes along. Ursula with her liver balls won't give in, but she's definitely a troublesome guest. Because of these customers, it seems that all the employees who used to work have quit. So Kouga was asked by Ursula.
He wants me to be a caution stick (bouncer) at the silver kiln pavilion.
"Customer, did you really get a cockroach from the beginning?
"So, say so..."
"Really, from the beginning, did the cockroach come in?
Blocking the man's words, Kouga repeats the same question. And stared at the man. The man loses the temper of Kouga and sits in a chair as he enters.
"Customers, we don't do business here, we want to take care of our customers. But you can't forgive me if I cheat on you."
"Oh, are you threatening us?
The man says in a trembling voice. To the habit that we were the first to try to blackmail, the victim aspect when it becomes inconvenient? Kouga is the type I hate the most.
"You guys, if you think you're ever going to talk, it's not a big mistake."
"Hih, hih!
Intimidating with a slight intent to kill, that alone shook the men up pathetically. And that gaze pours into the brooch on Kouga's chest.
"Well, that brooch...... are you a member of 'Snake'?
Snake - I mean the storm-wing snake (Wild Tempest) to which Kouga belongs. Clan names are often abbreviated in alleys, and in the case of storm-wing snakes (Wild Tempest), the symbol 'Snakes' was a street name.
"Indeed, I am not a member of the Storm-Winged Snake (Wild Tempest)..."
When Kouga admits, the men turn bright blue and ring their back teeth.
"Su, su, sorry! I didn't even know you were a snake member! So, forgive me! Never come near this store again!
"Ha, just, please! Just give me a break for my life! Not only do I pay for the food, I pay for the nuisance! Look, look, this is the whole deal!
The two chimps took their wallets out of their nostalgia and placed them on the table.
"Life... Nothing, that's it..."
If it didn't sound right, I was going to make it hurt, but I'm not even thinking about killing it. The difference in strength between Kouga and the men is historical. I can handle it at enough leisure.
"So you're going to cut your nose off to show off!? I hear snakes scrape the nose off one end of a guy they don't like!?
"Yes, no, I..."
I tried to deny it, but I couldn't. According to Kouga's brain, Noel, the master, smiled with a full face to the scene of the crime.
"Well, there were times..."
"I knew it was true!?
"Yes, it's true, but I don't want to..."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!! Forgive me. Yeah, yeah, yeah!!!
The moment Kouga tried to elucidate, the men screamed and fell off the chair. And you lose your hips, you can't even stand up properly, and you run away crawling on all fours. Like that too scared, Kouga got stunned.
"Because of Noel, you treat him like a monster..."
Kouga sighs deeply and looks back at Naena.
"Are you all right?
"Yes."
Kouga scratched her head at Naina, who nodded with no expression.
"Ma'am, I know you got angry because of me, but you better pick a word all the time. Yeah. If it weren't for me, I might have been tortured."
"There was Mr. Kouga, so I decided there was no problem."
Immediately answered, Kouga frowns.
"What I'm saying is that I'm not here..."
"Thank you for your help. I'm going back to work."
Naena leaves with her head bowed. Kouga can't hold back, and sighs leak out of his mouth again.
"Difficult daughter..."
"You're a pretty girl."
"Whew!?
Kouga surprised by his sudden voice. Sitting in a nearby chair was Alma, a member of the same storm-wing snake (Wild Tempest). Alma, who appears without making any sign at all, has a mean grin.
"Hey, what are you doing here?
"What, a meal"
"... really, have you just come over for dinner?
"Sorry, lie. I'm free, so I just came to explore Kouga's weaknesses."
"Out of the way, you really have a bad personality!
Alma is a fellow Kouga, but not very good. Anyway, Alma's inability to settle with Kouga seems to be an unpleasant sickening. Because of that, I'm sick and tired of saying bad things and being mean to Kouga every time.
"I was right to come. I can't believe Kouga said she wanted to work part-time for a girl. I'm gonna tick Noel."
"Don't be paranoid! He's not just a work buddy!
Kouga hastily denies it, but Alma remains a mean face.
"Huh. So there's nothing nasty about it?
"Naturally. I don't want to be with a woman like you."
"Can you swear by Noel?
"And, naturally..."
Again he claimed his innocence, but his voice was trembling unknowingly.
Noel is scared when he gets angry. Even if there's nothing nasty about it, they just gave me that name, and I get anxious as soon as possible. He's a trustworthy master, but he's the one who just knows how harsh his personality is, and he never wants to show where he floats.
"You said you were working part-time for a woman!? You big idiot!!! A guy like you is going to castrate him right now!!!
- And it's visible to be yelled at.
"Kouga, it's bright blue, right?
"Kiki, Kiki, it's not your fault..."
Kouga, who imagined the worst scene, couldn't stop sweating cold. Alma, seeing such a kouga, grins with her belly.
"Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha"
"It's not funny... You all know how scared Noel is..."
"I'm really scared of Noel, but the roots are sweet. Knowing there's a kid in Kouga who likes you won't just piss you off. I guess."
"Well, let's just say there's nothing nasty..."
"Yes, yes, okay, okay"
"You don't want to know..."
Sure, Naina is pathetic, but that's not why she has romantic feelings. Kouga also has a preference, and more importantly, she is now more at work than in love. I don't have time for a woman to lose her face more than I swore I'd live for a fallen man.
"By and large, which one of you sells oil? Yeah? Noel's fundraising party, which one of you is your partner?
"Unfortunately, I'm not bonkers like Kouga and Leon. I learned what I needed to do when I was taught. It's different here."
Kouga smiles at Alma, pointing her head in the face.
But it's true that Alma is good at memory. Not only that, but it's also highly acting. Even when Noel gave me acting instruction, I never got yelled at just one person. After completing the role early enough, I was laughing and watching Kouga and Leon, who remained angry.
"But it's also hard to excel. If I was an idiot like Kouga, I could have been educated while the younger beautiful boy cursed me."
Alma said with sincere regret.
"It's pathetic that Noel is liked by a perverted idiot like you..."
Kouga felt sincere sympathy for Noel. Noel will sometimes like someone too, but at least Alma won't be the only one.
