Chapter 1790 – [Preparation for Opening]

Eden served a simple dish to Nuri. I don’t want to force myself to eat because I’m not very hungry, but isn’t it a bit weird to come to a restaurant and not eat anything?

The dish served was canapé. It was a canapé that used a variety of ingredients, some topped with cheese and fruit, tuna mayo, or chopped boiled eggs, etc., And the number of canapés was small compared to the type, so it was a relatively labor-intensive canapé.

Well, as a chef, you can’t serve a moderate meal even to guests who eat only moderately. Although it was a simple dish, Nuri seemed quite satisfied.

“Oh!!!! It’s delicious!!!!”

“Do you like it?”

“Yeah, maybe it’s because the crackers are homemade and baked? They’re much crispier and have a more nutty flavor. They’re not nuts, but they have a good chew and nutty taste. Furthermore, they go well with the ingredients on top, and I like them.”

“I’m glad you enjoyed the meal.”

“Oh, that’s right. The store was open, but I came empty-handed, so I ripped off a giant religious phallic statue from God Ruri.”

“No matter how much you use it for interior design, you can’t use it like that!!!!!”

“It’s a joke. No matter how much I am, I have common sense.”

“Hey, look me straight in the eye and tell me. Is it there or not?”

“There is.”

“Can a crazy person who knows he is a crazy person fool his own conscience?…”

Noora is a transcendent in her own way and her abilities are also ‘free’, not tied down to anything, so I don’t feel that she is lying even with my own eyes. A part of his mind may think it’s a lie, but he seems to believe the lie as the truth due to his status as a transcendent and self-suggestion.

Anyway, what Nuri gave as a gift for opening the store was a flower in a large pot the size of her upper body. Compared to the pot, the grown plant was quite small even when the flower was blooming, but it seems that the flower is growing larger.

I don’t know about anything else, but first, the flowers are pretty. There was only one flower in bloom, but it was still very beautiful with bright purple and fluorescent petals blooming brightly. It looks good enough to be grown purely for ornamental purposes.

“It’s a flower I found in a corner somewhere, and they say it’s so pretty that you can buy a mansion for just one flower. It’s got bubbles attached to it, but it’s also because it’s really hard to grow, but it doesn’t have anything to do with it, right?”

“Of course.”

There is also Keter in Eden, but plants that are difficult to grow are not a big problem. If it gets a bit wilted, you don’t have to go far, just go to Cherub’s plant and leave it there for a while and it will be fine. The birth tree of Eden, given by the absolute master of nature, is rooted there.

“And this one will be a little bigger. Almost the size of a sunflower? Maybe that’s why the fully grown one is incredibly pretty and worth seeing. I guess there’s a reason it’s expensive.”

“Even things like Hagisa bonsai are expensive, in the hundreds of millions… What is their lifespan?”

“It’s difficult to raise, so it doesn’t seem to have a specific lifespan. Once it reaches a certain point, it stops growing, but there’s no story of it dying due to longevity.”

“It’s a nice flower. Thank you.”

The flower pot that Nuri gave me was placed in a highly visible place in the store. The tableware sets given by Utopia became decorations that livened up the atmosphere of the store, along with the decorated cabinet.

It will get a lot better later when it gets bigger and can be seen. I don’t know how long it would take, but with Eden by my side, I didn’t think it would take that long.

“But who is the Great Demon King?”

“I only came to Utopia with you.”

“Oh, it looks like Mr. Phantom and Sienne will come later when it officially opens. I will also come around then, but there is still a big difference between those who have plenty of time and those who don’t.”

“Are people with jobs and people without jobs the same? Huh? Except for the Great Demon King, you don’t have jobs.”

“Kyaaaaah!!!! I have something to do too!!! Uh, well, I mean, um…”

“No?”

“Anyway, it’s there!!!!!”

Pretending to be bluff when you don’t have anything.

Noori, who has the ability to be ‘free’, either receives or gives influence in his own way. In this case, it may have been an ability that was awakened because the person wanted freedom, but in the end, because of that, he was not tied down anywhere and could not have a normal job.

If you think about it, a job itself means sacrificing some of your freedom to make money. Since there is no need to make money, there is no need to have a job, so for Nuri, a job is a distant country.

“Okay, next time I come, I’ll make a job, so be prepared.”

“No, you said you have a job?”

“Anyway!!!!! Okay, since I’m in a bad mood, I’ll go and eat God-ruri-ruri one more time!!!!!!”

“G-Ruri Ruri, where is the erogenous zone?”

“Oh, that bitch’s erogenous zone is right here on my finger…”

“What are you talking about?!”

“Thanks for the great tip.”

“Eden, don’t just convince and understand!!!!!”

After spending some time having fun, Nuri decided to eat well and get up to go back. I think I liked it so much that I decided to come again next time.

Judging by the comments of everyone who came, it seems like they really like our Eden store. Hagisa’s food was delicious and Eden, the owner of the restaurant, was nice and pretty, so of course I had no choice but to do so.

“Then I’ll come next time!!! See you then!!!”

“The next time I come, I come with an empty stomach. Although I ate a little, it’s a decent restaurant, so what’s the point if I fill myself with canapés?”

“Okay. I’ll come back with an empty stomach, so I can eat a lot then. Ah, I don’t have any particular picks on ingredients, so next time I come, cook whatever you want!!!!”

“Okay, see you next time, Nuri!!!”

That’s how Nuri returned. It came and went like a storm, but when I look at the flower pots placed on one side of the store, I feel like I did well. Still, if possible, the next time I come, I hope they don’t make sex comments like that, but that’s Ruri’s nature, so it can’t be helped, right?

Anyway, Elysium’s tentative opening period is slowly coming to a close. After some more time, it will be officially opened.

“But what about Dad? He helps me when I’m working, but he can’t just help me because he has a store too.”

“So, once we officially open, I will only help you on weekends. I have to let my dad go there on weekdays, so even if I can’t help, the store is closed on weekends, right?”

Actually, I feel like I want to close down the store and help Eden go. Of course, the store is important to me now, but isn’t Eden ultimately more important? Since importance is relative, it was natural to choose the more important one.

However, if you beat up a decent store and help him with his own store, Eden will actually stop you. In fact, it would be much better to just say that you will help when you have time, rather than starting with rejection or hate.

Moreover, if you help us on the weekend, there will be virtually no damage to us. It’s open one day on the weekend, so it’s actually a 6-day week, but it’s better for people who like working.

There is a difference between doing the same job and doing something you like and enjoy even if you are tired, and doing something you hate and are bored with. Just as it is not for nothing that there is a saying such as ‘deok-up-eul’, Eden is in fact in such a situation, so it is okay to have minimal rest days.

However, there is one thing that Eden regrets about the current situation…

“But I haven’t opened the second dimension restaurant yet.”

“I see… On the other hand, that’s the most important thing.”

The two-dimensional restaurant was Eden’s goal. Of course, it is natural to treat visiting guests, so we welcomed guests from the dimensional civilization, but that is different from this.

At least the people in the dimensional civilization were the only ones who could afford to use the Dimension Gate or other means of transportation. Rather than them, the other guests who would invite by pouring out the power of countless absolutes were much more to Eden’s taste.

Oh, of course, that doesn’t mean Eden neglects other guests. If you bite off ten fingers, there won’t be any fingers that won’t hurt, but won’t there at least be some fingers that will hurt more?

In response, before the official opening, Eden decided to try operating a two-dimensional restaurant.

“Because it’s for testing purposes, we’ll only run it for about an hour, not a day. If customers arrive early, we’ll just end it. In fact, we plan to end it with just one team.”

“You mean you’re just testing to see if it works. Well, since it’s your first time doing it, it can’t be helped.”

“But is there anything I need? I’m a little worried maybe because this is my first time.”

“Well… I’m worried that such races will flock in on such a wide scale. You can’t pinpoint one thing, right? At the very least, there could be people who eat minerals rather than ordinary food.”

“It’s just a mineral. It would be delicious if you add a little salt to the alloy made by mixing copper and bronze.”

“Have you tried it?!”

“Well.”

“I tried it!!! I tried it!!!!!”

First, that doesn’t mean my concerns are meaningless. Obviously, many races can visit, but will it be possible to satisfy the tastes of all of them?… I’m a little worried.

However, Eden decided to give it a try and prepared various ingredients. In addition to other things, Cherubim’s plant was activated as much as possible so that necessary food ingredients could be supplied in case of emergency.

With this, customers can immediately receive whatever dish or ingredients they want. Of course, it can’t be helped if you eat something that is completely out of line with common sense, but in the end, that’s a problem that customers have to come to.

“I don’t know about the store on weekdays, but I will help you at the Ichon restaurant on the weekends. My dad also rests on the weekends.”

“Dad, I’m taking a break. Are you okay?”

“Honestly, I’m jealous. My dad is a reincarnation and has never run a restaurant like this. So, I have to give him vicarious satisfaction by helping out in this way.”

Every time I reincarnate, I am born in a different world. Even my gender was different, so I couldn’t settle down in one place.

Even if a store is set up in one place, there is a gap every time it is reincarnated, so it cannot operate properly. There are also practical problems… I probably wouldn’t have helped the absolute ones step forward like Eden did.

On the other hand, Eden’s store is also a store I thought about but gave up on. Honestly, I’m jealous, but rather than jealous, I’m very proud that our Eden opened such a store.

“Okay, then business begins!!!!!! Ah, as soon as I turn on my powers, I’m in love!!!!”

“You have to adapt, you can do anything.”

There are as many as five powers of the Absolute. Of course, you don’t have to use all of them, but you have to use at least the two-dimensional restaurant, the power of language interpretation, and the time synchronization set, so that alone consumes a lot of Eden.

Still, I have to get used to it. Rather, if you adapt, you will be able to gain higher rank and power.

Anyway, the second dimension restaurant was opened, but customers did not come right away. Unless you’re waiting in line, customers don’t come right away as soon as you open the store.

So, I chatted with Eden for a while and waited for the first customer. Of course, there were customers received during the temporary opening period, so strictly speaking, it is not the first customer, but it refers to the first customer as a two-dimensional restaurant.

“Oh, it’s coming.”

“Really? It’s faster than I thought. I wonder who will come.”

Eventually, the person who opened the restaurant door and came in… Um, no, can we say this is a person?

The appearance was like a human. She had the appearance of a healthy, sturdy woman who looked like she had worked out, and was a pretty blonde beauty, but she was not like that. Maybe she’s like Eve? The only difference between an artificially created body and artificial intelligence is that, unlike Eve, who uses a biological android body, the mechanical aspect is more important.

“Excuse me. Where am I?”

Because of the power of interpretation she received from the Absolute of Knowledge, her words were immediately translated and heard, but the language was so familiar that it was not necessary. Because the words that came out of her mouth were Japanese.

As well as myself, Eden’s nickname is Wakamo Shrine, and she is active in Japan, so she is fluent in Japanese. She agreed to answer her questions once she put it aside. She is Eden. Furthermore, she is in the kitchen, so today I, the waiter and manager, will explain for you.

“This is Elysium. It is a two-dimensional restaurant where anyone who is hungry can visit.”

“A two-dimensional restaurant?”

“It means it’s a restaurant on another level. If there’s only one person, I’ll show you a seat.”

“… Please wait a moment.”

Since it is an Android, it looks like it has a separate communication function and is talking to other people. Normally, Cherubim would have blocked it, or it wouldn’t have been possible since it was in another dimension, but since the door was still open, communication seemed to be possible.

Meanwhile, she explores the inside of her store. It looks like he is working as a bodyguard as he looks around to see if there is anything dangerous.
Considering the level at which she is understood through her writing skills, she does not appear to be a simple secretary.

And then a real customer comes in. As she used an android the same size as me as a bodyguard, an opponent of a similar position appeared on the other side. Well, it doesn’t mean anything here.

He looks like an old man. However, perhaps because she took good care of herself, she looks decades younger than her actual age. Her actual age was probably closer to 100, but she looked like she was in her 60s or 70s. She is a strict-looking Japanese man.

… It seems like you were a picky customer from the beginning. I wish she wasn’t Jinsangman.
