Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

"Is this the coffee shop… it's really the 'coffee shop'"

"Yeah. Sounds like a coffee shop with a bit of a good vibe in a residential neighborhood in Japan"

"Right? Let's just get in there."

When I open the door and go inside, I still have no guests today.

"I don't need it. - Ah! Mr. Nao!

Mr. Aela had a melancholy look on the counter, but as soon as she saw my face, she let her expression shine and ran over here, taking my hand and holding it.

"You're here, you're here!! Thanks!

With a few tears, Aela looks up at this one.

I think I heard Bosoli and "Gilty" in the back, but I'm sure it's my fault.

"You said you were coming yesterday, right? Look, I'm fine, so calm down?

"Oh, right, sorry"

"Look, I'll introduce you to my people first. This is nuts, this is yuki."

"Regards"

"Nice to meet you. - I mean, Nao's talking weird. Something... like a numb bastard"

"That's it!? I'm out of my mind!

I do feel like I had a slight tone about dealing with kids... should I speak in polite language for the outside world?

"Um, it's good the way you normally talk, right?

Yes, Aela told me, and I nodded a little thinking.

"Uh-huh, I wasn't that conscious... ok. I'll talk to Yuki and the others. Sorry if I'm rude."

"No. I'm not that old, and I'm fine"

Oh, as much as what?

No, of course. Instead, if you saved enough money to train in a store and be independent, you're likely older.

"These two are my people - two of them. Two more, some beasts and elves, but they're not here today because of errands. If you can afford it one of these days, you might come."

"Oh, you have other people of your own kind. I'd like to see you. I don't see my people in this city..."

"Uh, sure, Elf, I don't see you"

If it was the city where Mr. Aela was training, he said a few people would have been to the point of seeing an elf if they walked down the boulevard.

In this city, Elf can only remember the first time Mr. Aela has seen a few other species.

"I'll bring you when I have time. Let's start by thinking about rebuilding this store."

"Right! So... what do we do?

That's what I said to Aela, who twisted her neck, and I said to Yuki and the others.

"First...... can you give these two lunch today? Just for one"

"Ha! I get it! But it'll take a little while, okay?

"Oh, it's only morning. No problem. Please."

"I understand. Please wait."

Aela lowers her head with a stick and pulls her into the kitchen.

"- Huh, you're a pretty girl, aren't you?

"Yep. You look younger on the outside, and you're the type who wants to protect you. Does Mr. Nao like that girl? Is that Loricon?

"That's a terrible argument!? Because that's not it!

I don't deny that I think you're cute, but I don't mean that at all... not really.

- No, 'cause I'm a man, too? You can't help but wonder if that's what you'd be willing to say for a second if you had a pretty girl, can you?

Rather, it is abnormal to have no interest in a girl. Yeah.

Besides, Mr. Aela is not Lori. Maybe he's older.

"Well, more than that, you mean the store now, right? Any advice?

"Heh, well, no?

In a way that doesn't look good, Yuki nods and looks around the store.

"It's a nice atmosphere in the store, isn't it?"

"Yep. Well cleaned, and I hope you can afford an afternoon of tea in a place like this."

"I see, a cafe..."

The coffee shop that went out before going to Sarlstadt was popular with a slightly higher pricing.

Maybe I should just go over there, but is the place a little bit of a problem?

With some visibility, people may come as coffee shops with a calm atmosphere, but in this world where there is little publicity, it may be a little difficult to get there.

"Don't you have a menu...?

"You were given a wooden plank without hanging it on the wall."

"Hmm, is that right..."

Natsuki has a slightly more difficult face.

Japan is a common method, but rare in this world. I can choose carefully, so I wish I could say it was good......

"Oh, thank you for waiting! Uh... I'll put it on the table."

After Aela came out of the kitchen and showed her that she was worried for a moment about putting the plates she had on the counter, she put the plates on the table to see if she thought about our numbers.

"Go ahead! Try it"

"Heh, beautiful serving. I'll have it."

First Yuki eats the dish one bite at a time and turns to Natsuki.

"Yeah. They're all delicious. Above standard...... no, pretty much above?

"Yeah, maybe, but in this city, it would be superior."

The plates that Natsuki ate one more bite at a time were right in front of me.

Yeah, you just had breakfast. You can't eat.

I have no choice but to dispose of the rest.

Different dish than yesterday, but still delicious.

Even though the flavoring itself is relatively simple, is this a clever way to use vanilla-like Tagumi?

"And then... the menu, can I see it?

"Yes! This is it!"

Mr. Aela rushes to the counter with Patapata, from where he brings home a menu.

"... I see. Got it. In the meantime, shall we sit down and discuss it? Do you mind?

"Yes! Then I'll bring you a drink! What do you want?

"Whatever you want...... can I have this Musuk tea? Is that good for both of you?

What's that?

I don't know, but if Natsuki chooses, maybe it means something, so I'll snort.

"I understand. Please wait."

We dropped off Aela, who had once again pulled into the kitchen with Patapata, and we calmed down to the table.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Well, first of all, 'why don't customers come in', but this is easy"

"Ho, is that true!?"

"Yes, I'm sure Aela noticed right away if it wasn't her own store, but the store is too upscale."

"Oh, I knew it"

"Right."

"- Ha!"

It's a very ordinary residential neighborhood around here, not the kind of neighborhood where special rich people live.

It's not a boulevard, so it's not the kind of road that people living in another neighborhood go through.

I mean, how luxurious the look of this store looks to the people who usually walk in front of it.

Even I tried to get in because I had the common sense of the original world, but if Mr. Aela hadn't come out at that time, turn around. I would have turned right and returned.

I don't care about the contents of my wallet. If it's a big deal, it might come in, but for very ordinary people, that's not how stores like 'Price Market Value' fit in.

Even stores that say that will come in if someone introduces them and knows their budget, but in the case of this new store, there is no such connection.

Inevitably, there are no customers.

"If you ask me, it sure is. I was happy to have a beautiful and lovely store, but when you asked me if I wanted to go into this store on my salary... I would hesitate" cum ""

Aella leans down like she's lost her temper.

Normally, I would feel extra pity for just something that I would immediately notice.

"But... even if you figure that out, you'll already have the money to move the place, as well as the money to change the exterior..."

"No, you don't have to spend that kind of money."

"Yes, yes. The point is, I just need to figure out the price. You just have to put a simple price list in front of the store."

We are familiar with the method that restaurants on the second floor and above the Miscellaneous Buildings do well.

I look at the menus and pictures I have in front of the stairs, and I'm the one who decides whether to go up or not.

Without that array, you wouldn't think of going all the way up the stairs to the store upstairs.

That's if you're not looking into referrals from someone or the internet.

Aela nods happily to the way Yuki explains the sign by exchanging gestures with 'Like This'.

"Then if you ask the carpenter who asked you to renovate this store, they're going to make it! Thank you."

"If it's going to take a little effort, you might want to turn the sign into a black-applied board and rewrite it every day with chalk. I think a daily lunch would interest me if I painted a description or illustration of what kind of dish."

"I see! Indeed..."

There's no explanation for the daily routine that comes out in the words of 'mesh' in this dining room, so in a way, it's a beating.

Moreover, it is basic, with zero chance of winning.

Other than the Sleepy Bear Pavilion.

If there was an explanatory note outside the store, people would come out saying, 'It looks delicious, so let's go in'.

"Well, now maybe the customers will come in..."

"Yes! Thank you very much"

In response to Aela, who lowered her head with a full smile, Natsuki shook her head and said clearly.

"But maybe you'll fail, won't you?

"- Huh?"

The words hardened Aela's smile.
