Chapter 1794 – [Dimensional Restaurant – Adventurer Party and Beef Stew]

Chairman Naomoto became humbler at Kana’s change in attitude in just one week. Her tone of voice hasn’t changed, but her attitude has. If she just saw her as a subordinate, she seemed to have changed into someone who would treat her in her own way.

Or maybe they just gave me a position as an executive at their company, but I don’t think that would be a big deal.

Anyway, on his second visit, Chairman Naomoto was able to enjoy a very satisfying meal. This time too, he caught a bluefin tuna and showed me how to disassemble it before cooking it, but since he was going to pack the rest anyway, there was no problem with the leftovers.

Ah… Let alone the problem of Eden, who is rather disappointed that there is no one left. Normally in the restaurant business, people worry about being left behind, but it’s ironic that our Eden is worried about not being left behind.

“Hmm, I was very satisfied today too. It was great. So, next time…”

“Should we catch bluefin tuna then, or should we catch another fish?”

“Twice. No, considering what I ate over there and the fact that I ate bluefin tuna for two weeks, it might be time to eat something else. I’ll ask for something different next time. I haven’t decided on anything, so you can do whatever you want.”

“Um, okay. I’ll see you later.”

“I’m looking forward to it.”

The two returned to their original dimension. Meanwhile, on her way back, Cana bowed to us and greeted us very politely.

They say they come from an artificial intelligence background, but if they have that level of insight, they can grow quickly. What people want is artificial intelligence that follows commands… But for the sake of development, we need artificial intelligence that realizes the emotion and thinks creatively.

So, I made the following promise with Chairman Naomoto. Since I worked at a fish market when I was young, I seem to prefer fish and seafood, so I’m looking forward to what kind of dishes Eden will serve me.

“Hmm, I don’t know. For now, I’m thinking about something like Kaisendon.”

“Kaisendon?”

“The thing that impressed me the most before was rice bowls like Negitoro-don, right? I also ate sushi and sashimi, but I liked sushi better, so it seems like I like eating seafood and rice.”

“Well, that’s a good guess.”

“For that kind of person, isn’t a dish like Kaisen-don, where you can eat a variety of seafood on top, like a free pass to an amusement park? If you want to eat more, you can serve it separately at that time.”

“Oh my, our Eden has grown up to be able to think so deeply.”

“This is basic!!!!!”

If you look at the two-dimensional restaurant so far, it is actually at a loss and in the red. Chairman Naomoto, who is stubborn in his own way, created a company and guaranteed our positions and status, but it is a meaningless commodity unless we go to the other side… In the end, no matter how big or small, this side suffered a loss. 〈 Br〉

But apart from that, Eden seemed to be sufficiently satisfied. When Eden converts the food he eats into ether, the calories from the meal are few, but the satisfaction he gets from it is converted into a small amount of ether. Just as the satisfaction of serving hungry guests well is a great help in maintaining a two-dimensional restaurant.

“Actually, it’s still a loss for just one person.”

“We need more customers to keep it going.”

“Yes, that’s right. Ah, before that, let’s start with the official opening!!!!!”

“Is it already time for that? A lot of people will come.”

Many guests were already arriving. But apart from that, the temporary opening and the official opening were different things.

Among my acquaintances, there are some who came and some who didn’t, but they will come at least a little later once it officially opens. When I think about that, I feel like it’s going to make a lot of noise again, so I’m quite worried.

Anyway, we will take a break for a few days and change and change things that need to be fixed or changed while operating during the temporary opening period, and then we will officially open this time. Because word had spread to the dimensional civilization, many more people than usual came.

There were so many that Eden had to help Korma. She said she could leave the washing up and such to a machine, but at least it was better to leave the serving and table cleaning to people, so she borrowed a few of Korma’s clones.

“You can replace it with a machine… But the store should smell like people.”

“I agree with that. I also run a café, so I know it well, and there is a big difference between having people and not having people.”

“If you use machines, you can save on labor costs, but the atmosphere becomes stiff. Well done.”

Moreover, who would act carelessly when Korma, the Dream Giant, serves the food? Even though there are no real customers, we have blocked the possibility of any occurrence.

After officially opening, they accepted regular customers for about 3 days… And on the 4th day, they accepted reservation customers. No, it wasn’t something we decided on, it was because they rented it out for a day. Thanks to this, you only have to take care of one team, but since the opponent is your opponent, you need to prepare to some extent.

The person who made the reservation is none other than Phantom. Since they probably have to be on duty, not all the Demon Lords of Dark Lord Castle will come, but only a few, including Phantom and Sienne, will likely come.

“There are four people in total. Their names are Uncle Phantom, Sienne, Ruinel, and Iliel? Seeing that Aunt Iliel’s name is there, someone named Ruinel is also your aunt, right?”

“That’s right, one of the transcendents of Dark Lord Castle and my father’s first sister-in-law.”

“How many disciples does Uncle Phantom have?”

“… Let’s not talk about that.”

And on the day of reservation, the four people we had promised came. Aside from the familiar Phantom and Sienne, there is Iliel from the elf race who once came to Eden during her first birthday party. And Mr. Ruinel, whom Eden had never seen before, came to visit.

Ruinel’s race was a vampire, and as a race born to charm others, her beauty was beautiful. If you look at it objectively, not personally, it can be compared to Eden.

However, the direction of beauty is different. Eden is more of an innocent type, while Ruinel is more of a sexy type, so if you vote on who is prettier between the two, you will end up split due to differences in taste.

Thanks to this, it’s very popular in Dark Lord Castle and other human-based civilizations… I guess it could be said that if Ruinel takes a photo shoot, he can earn Dark Lord Castle’s annual budget. Well, since Phantom has a lot of arms, I would probably stop him if he did that, but anyway.

“Hello!!!!”

“It seems like only yesterday that I saw you at your first birthday party, but you’ve already grown so much. How have you been? Oh, do you remember me?”

“Yes, Aunt Iliel. I remember.”

“You’ve grown well. Oh, congratulations on opening the store. I brought a wreath as a gift to celebrate the opening. Can I leave it here?”

“Oh, there are flowers that Nuri gave me. I think you can put them next to them.”

“This is a pretty flower too. You received something nice as a gift, right?”

“The wreath my aunt gave me is pretty, too.”

Although it was her first time seeing him at her first birthday party, Eden remembered Iliel. She said that she was a child who was smart and had a good memory from a young age, so it is not strange that she remembers. When I see her often, I don’t know what happened before the first birthday party, but she remembers quite a bit of what happened after.

After saying hello to Mr. Iliel, Eden then exchanged greetings with Mr. Ruinel, whom he was meeting for the first time. She has a sexy beauty that seems to seduce men by staying still, but apart from that, her personality is good.

“Hello, nice to meet you. Are you Aunt Ruinel?”

“Yes, that’s right. Oh, I’m sorry I couldn’t come to your first birthday party before. To be honest, I didn’t have time… It was just an excuse in the end, but I still made time to come today.”

“No, it looks like you are busy with work. Thank you for coming to visit even though it was late.”

In response, I gently hit the phantom next to me and turned my attention towards Ruinel, rather than blaming himself for coming to see me after he grew up.

“Hey, you stupid bastard. Because you’re so annoying, your sister-in-law is so busy with all her work that Eden can’t come see her.”

“Hey!!!! I work too?!”

“So, did you work more than your sister-in-law? As a transcendent, your level is far different, but your brains are also that much different. If you were smart, would you have done so much work at Dark Lord Castle?”

“Then what about you? You’re so upset, why are you doing it?”

“I don’t run a dimensional civilization, so I don’t need it. If I don’t have great responsibility, I don’t need great power!!!!!”

“I’m proud of you, bastard!!!!!”

Phantom seemed to know that I had deliberately changed the subject, but he expressed his gratitude with a quick glance. Baby, be nice to Ruinel when you get back.

Since you are a guest, you will be shown to your seat. However, they came not for a meal but to celebrate the opening of the store and talk face to face, so even though they ordered, they talked about the current situation and other things. Sienne cut off the start… That’s what I said before.

“But where is Lulu?”

“She’s at home… No, is she working part-time at this time? Anyway, she’s probably like that.”

“Part-time job? What part-time job?”

“Part-time job at a café. I make coffee and help make bread, and I’m busier than expected. Sometimes, I bring in leftover bread after selling.”

“That bitch works part-time?! Instead of eating customers or something like that?!”

“It’s been a while since he stopped being a human being.”

“You eat.”

“Just look at that much.”

“Look at me showing favoritism!!! If I sleep with her, how will she see my face later!!!!!”

“Don’t bring up that story!!!!!”

“If you do that, prepare half the oatmeal first.”

“Hey, when you say that, doesn’t it sound like a joke?!”

“Does this look like a joke?”

No, this little bastard helped her earlier, and he repays her kindness with revenge?!

… Actually, if I heard that a child like my daughter married her friend and did everything, I would be so mad that I would pick up a shotgun for fathers with daughters. At least I understand your feelings. The problem is that the person involved is me.

Eden was also talking to Mr. Ruinel and Mr. Iliel next to him. Since we met for the first time and met each other for the first time in a long time, there seems to be a lot of things we haven’t been able to talk about or want to talk about.

“You’ve grown up enough to open a store without seeing each other. Do you have a boyfriend?”

“It’s because I don’t have anyone that catches my eye. I don’t really look at things like looks, but I like a man who is strong enough to protect me and is a family man, but there’s no one like that.”

“If I have to be stronger than you, I’ll have to choose from among the transcendentals. Should I introduce you to some of my acquaintances? Oh, don’t you look at the races separately?”

“It doesn’t matter. But I think my dad will try to turn me down if I confront him.”

“Then why not leave it to the Phantom?”

“Eden is going to live with her dad forever!!!!!!!”

“You bastard, don’t stop your daughter from getting married.”

“If you do that, I will use my connections and help Sienne as a matchmaker!!!!!”

“Sienne is going to live with her dad forever!!!!!!!”

“It’s just bungeoppang. It’s just bungeoppang.”

As we talked about various things, the conversation naturally turned to the Ichon-dimension restaurant. Phantom gave me the most important power to run a two-dimensional restaurant, so it was natural that I was interested in it.

“So how was it? I don’t know the details, but it seems like I used it.”

“Isn’t that too?”

“I don’t know the details. I know how much I used by looking at the electricity meter, but I don’t know where I used that electricity, right? That’s roughly how it feels.”

“When I first opened a two-dimensional restaurant, the first customer was the chairman of a large corporation from a cyberpunk-like world with a polluted environment.”

“By that time, I would have killed a lot of people and wouldn’t have been physically hungry… I guess it was a mental issue?”

“I’ve been there once or twice, so I don’t know yet, but I feel like my eyes are better than before because I got what I wanted when I was younger. I was a customer who had the pleasure of cooking for me.”

“You did a good job. It was worth it for your uncle to work hard to help you. Please continue to do so in the future.”

“It’s hard for me to maintain my authority with just one customer. I hope more customers come.”

We spent the day like that, talking to each other and serving meals to each other. To put it bluntly, Phantom praised Eden, saying that her skills have improved a lot.

When you cook, your skill level in your senses increases as you prepare the ingredients… Moreover, didn’t Eden also prepare the ingredients while maintaining absolute authority? The more you focus and train in difficult situations, the more effective it will be. Didn’t Son Goku train at 100 times the gravity when he went to destroy Freeza?

Well, it’s time to put that aside for now and open another two-dimensional restaurant.

“The last time we opened, no new customers came. Will they come this time?”

“There are many reasons why they may not be able to come, such as failing to meet the standards, timing is not right, being on guard, etc. All the store owner has to do is wait.”

Didn’t Chairman Naomoto not come in at first, but sent Kana first to come in? If you are very careful, you may not come in, or you may be able to avoid it. If you exclude those customers, there will be fewer unexpected customers.

Now that I think about it, I don’t know how it is possible to enter a two-dimensional restaurant because I didn’t ask… I’ll have to ask the next time a customer comes in.

Anyway, it was the opening day of the Ichimani restaurant. Since customers from the dimensional civilization are busy with work, they clean up the kitchen or store that has become cluttered and prepare to welcome new customers.

It’s not a bad thing to clean the store often, and since Ichisen Restaurant is just starting out, most of the customers who visit are first-time customers. To such customers, you should show a clean appearance as much as possible.

Chairman Naomoto and Kana may come to visit like last time… But today is a little different. There was something strangely good about it, like a new customer would come.

“Ah, I feel good today. I have a feeling that a new customer will come.”

“Dad thought that too. I wonder what kind of guests will come.”

Not long after the opening of the second dimension restaurant, the customers who had been waiting finally arrived.

Previously, the guests were from a cyberpunk-like world with advanced technology, but this time they were guests with a completely opposite feeling. It was a four-person party armed with a fantasy feel, including leather armor and bows.

First, looking at the members, there are two men and two women. The two men appear to be warriors wearing leather armor and armed with swords, one of the two women appears to be an elf armed with a bow, and the other appears to be a wizard wearing a robe holding a staff.

It feels like a typical fantasy party. Well, to really do that, you would need to be a thief or something like that, but there are two back-line positions, such as an archer and a wizard, and if the other one is also a thief, wouldn’t there only be one front-line person? Even though it wasn’t perfect, it was a well-balanced party.

“W-Here?!”

“Welcome, this is the other-dimensional restaurant Elysium.”

“Restaurant?! Restaurant?”

From the looks of it, he is not a picky customer like Chairman Naomoto. Rather, apart from the state of his armament, he looked like he had suffered quite a bit, judging by the dust and signs that he had starved for a while.

I don’t know what the circumstances were, but I think he was a customer worth feeding.
