47 – Decorate a cozy restaurant!
Is there anyone else besides me who can sing the marching song here in Daham?
I haven’t heard of other demons, have you?
Even if there was, there would be no reason to hear singing from this floor, right?
At that moment, Ael came up with an idea and jumped up from his seat.
“What’s wrong?”
As Einer asked, Ael smiled awkwardly.
“Wait a minute…”
As I hurriedly ran up the stairs, I heard the song more clearly.
It was definitely heard from inside Ael’s door.
When the door was thrown open, the song cut off like a lie.
There was nothing in the room with the lights off.
A well-organized bed and desk, and the noise of the shady pier and the sound of waves through the wide-open window.
That was all.
Oh, and one more.
Even Cantavera bowing her head by the window.
Could it be that Cantavera finally woke up and sang?
Ael approached the window and tapped the bud of Cantavera with her fingernail.
“Have you ever sung?”
But, as if Cantavera had never been like that, she kept her head down and was immovable.
Hmm, that’s strange.
Did I hear that wrong….
I stood and looked at Cantavera for a while, but it didn’t happen that Cantavera sang her song.
What is that, you really misunderstood.
That’s right. There’s no way Cantavera will come back to life this quickly.
Ael quickly closed the door and went down to the first floor.
I have to wait on food, but I’ve been away for too long.
Ael went down to the first floor and found the table empty.
Where has everyone gone?
At that time, a light flashed through the window leading to the side yard along with the sound of chatter.
I went out the front door and went there to find Hadoon sweeping the wall and talking to Einer about something.
Chiefs are each holding a beer glass and looking at the night view stretching towards the coastal cliffs in the side yard.
“How about this? Can I take it down?”
“Why are you removing the wall that is quietly standing there?”
“I’m going to break through the wall and connect it here.”
As you tapped the paving stones on the floor with your foot, Hadun bent over and touched the paving stones.
“It’s paved from here to there. If you put a table, the view will be amazing.”
“Hmm.”
Hadun went around the left and right sides of the wall with her short legs, tapped her finger lightly a few times, and then she said.
“Even the bush will not collapse.”
“Really?”
“Then you bastard! If the dwarves don’t collapse, they won’t collapse!”
Dwarves are the gods of architecture and crafting.
Their mining town is hundreds of meters underground, but I’ve never heard of it collapsing.
I’ve never been there, but they say it’s heaven for all sorts of strange things, starting with a machine called an elevator that connects the ground and the underground.
No matter how young Hadoon left the mining city and is working as a security chief here in Daham, a dwarf is a dwarf.
You must have a knowledge and an eye that can’t be compared to the halfway human carpenter who came this afternoon.
If he doesn’t collapse then he won’t collapse.
“Can I just hit it with a hammer?”
“You ignorant bastard. Then, he collapses to the pole and sits down.”
“Then what should I do?”
Hadoon gave Einer detailed instructions on how to demolish the wall.
If you hit it with force, the shock will be transmitted to the pillar and it will be quite dangerous, so use a chisel and hammer.
“Here, here, here. Drive chisels roughly at this distance and make cracks little by little. If you peel off the hardened plaster on the outside, you will probably find hard bricks on the inside. Then carve out the edges in the same way.”
“Okay. How long will it take?”
From noble mtl dot com
“It will take a while at first, but if you give it a certain amount of cracks, it will fall apart in clumps after that, so maybe it will take half a day.”
Behind Hadun and Inner, Ael worked hard to put those words into her head.
I wanted to bring a notebook and write it down, but if I did, I might find out that I don’t know how to write properly with bad handwriting.
It’s so inconvenient because I don’t know how to write.
But there won’t be time to learn.
It’s embarrassing to go to school with young children at this age.
No, I wouldn’t accept it in the first place.
Whew.
* * * * *
Ha-doon and the managers, who ate a lot of fruit, left the house late.
“Did you say Ael? She really enjoyed her meal today.”
“It was the best. I will come often when the restaurant opens.”
Ael, not knowing what to do with the compliments from the managers, stuck close to Inner.
“Let’s go, you guys!”
Ha-dun gave a squeal and strode down the hill with short legs.
“Please enter carefully!”
Ael bowed her deeply and bowed her head so that her forehead touched the top of her foot.
“It’s over. You worked hard, Ael.”
Einer patted Ael on the back lightly.
“I’m glad everyone enjoyed the meal.”
“Right. The dwarf captain likes it the most. I didn’t expect him to teach you so clearly about breaking down walls. Maybe it’s because of the beer.”
At the end of the sentence, you smacked her lips.
“Do you have any leftovers? Beer?”
“Oh yes!”
Ael ran into her house and hurriedly brewed a vanilla cream beer.
“Here, master!”
Aner sat at the table, took a sip of beer, and smiled.
“This is really good. Where did you get the idea?”
“When I went to Dragon’s Bone Restaurant the other day, I thought it would be delicious if I mixed something like cream with beer.”
“You’re great as expected, Ael.”
“hehehe… No…”
After emptying the beer, Einer and Ael cleaned up the kitchen together.
Ael said she would do it all by herself, but she would probably have to go past midnight to clean up what the six people ate.
Einer put the dishes next to Ael’s shoulder as he was washing the dishes.
When her shoulder touched Einer’s forearm, Ael flinched and shrank her body.
It was because I wasn’t confident in physical contact with the master.
My master probably doesn’t like being touched by a piece of flesh like me, along with thoughts like that.
After finishing the arrangement, they went up the stairs side by side and stood in the hallway on the second floor.
“Sleep well, Ael.”
“Good night, master.”
Ael, who saw Ainor enter the room, also entered his room.
Cantavera was at the window just as it was earlier.
Ael pulled a chair and sat down next to him, resting his chin on the windowsill.
The night view of Daham and the dark southern ocean under the starry night sky.
And in the middle is an uninhabited beach shining blue.
I got permission to work as a restaurant and ordered everything I needed for the interior.
And the dwarf captain just said it’s safe to drill through the wall.
All the conditions for opening a restaurant are in place.
I’m the only one left now.
No matter how beautifully a restaurant is decorated, it’s useless if the chef can’t do it properly.
So I have to stay alert.
However, I couldn’t help the trembling from the tension and excitement rising from within my heart.
“Whoa…”
Ael let out a long, light sigh.
Can I really do well alone?
The owner also helped me clean up what the six of us ate today.
It seems like you’ll be very busy cooking and clearing the table when the customers just come in….
Still, I can’t shamelessly ask the owner to hire another employee.
I’m going to try it by myself right now.
Cheer up, Ael! You can do it!
Relive your memories of the Legion Kitchen!
The time when I stood firm in the cauldron despite facing the risk of death several times!
“You can do it!”
Ael quacked, putting her hands together outside her window.
* * * * *
“You can do it!”
Einer, who was lying on the bed, laughed when he heard Ael shouting.
He looks like a cute guy.
Ael has a personality that can never be hated.
Good, thoughtful, kind, diligent, and infinitely brave when needed.
When he heard that he had opened his body in front of the security guards to protect Lamia’s circumstances, Einer thought ‘as expected’.
The Ael he knows is a child who usually takes a step back first, but recklessly pushes ahead when he has to.
You carve your own destiny, and heaven helps those who help themselves.
That’s why Einer likes Ael.
With that child, the restaurant will surely succeed.
Then let’s stay still.
I heard when the table and furnishings would arrive.
We need to tear down the wall ASAP.
Since you can’t leave it as it is after tearing it down, there are many other things to do to install something like a foldable screen.
It’s so strange.
I thought my dream of running a restaurant, which I had nurtured since I was a child, ended when the baron family was wiped out by the Demon King’s army.
It was the same when he was summoned to the royal castle after the war and was given the title of count.
I became a nobleman, so I can’t run a restaurant.
It was even more so when he couldn’t stand the despicable behavior of the king and ran away.
He was lucky enough to get a house converted into a restaurant, but he seemed to be far from his dream because he had spent too much money.
And now, the opening of a restaurant is just around the corner.
Everything is ready and will be ready again.
Einer didn’t do anything.
So far, all the situations or things that Einer has been doing have nothing to do with the restaurant, and have only gotten further and further away from it.
All of this was possible because Ael appeared in front of Einer.
As Einer knows, ‘Ael’ means ‘unexpected luck’ in the native language of the demons.
Literally, Ael was unexpected luck itself to Einer.
I really am a lucky guy.
Einer murmured and soon fell asleep.
