So I made a breakfast with the characteristics of my hometown in a different world.
Chinese savior crepe.
It's a pity that because we don't have the necessary tools, we can't spread the pancakes easily like the chefs on the street, who can just turn around and spread the pancakes.
Kyle Russ was also effusive in his admiration for this novel food.
Then he said, "I went to play with Sister Nolan Lusi" and then disappeared.
It's so fast.
I made a meaningless sigh out of habit and then opened the store door.
"Today, I have to work hard to make money as an ordinary hotel owner."
"Hello."
Did business come to you as soon as the doors opened?
A little surprised, I lowered my gaze.
Because the sound source seems to be very low.
What appeared in front of him was a pretty girl with short black shoulder-length hair.
She was wearing pure white armor, with a bayonet that was just the right size for her on her waist. Her face was filled with a pretended cold and chilling temperament. At this time, her blue eyes were staring at me closely. .
He probably looks... eighteen years old.
should be.
Otherwise, I will report them to the police for using child labor.
"Hello, I am the regional inspector of the empire. This is my proof." He took out an iron nameplate with a badge engraved on it from his pocket and held it in front of my eyes.
Caroline, Imperial Regional Inspector.
...You dare to be a policeman.
"Hello, what can I do for you?"
Although I probably didn't do anything bad, even if I did, I wouldn't leave any trace.
But I was still panicking inside.
"Have you seen any demons nearby recently?"
Demons seen nearby?
There's actually quite a lot of truth to it.
Such as the dog guarding the gate of the underworld, and the maid of the Demon King.
If you really say it, I guess anyone who stands up can hit you several times.
"I saw a sky with different colors appearing in the north before."
"A sky of different colors?" She seemed to be unable to keep the expression on her face, "Then, when did it appear?!"
So you are a newcomer? The kind who are eager to make meritorious deeds.
"Last night, I had to settle accounts, so I stayed up a little bit. Unexpectedly, I saw lights like fireworks appearing in the northern sky."
That's almost the opposite direction from where I buried the hero.
"Hey, hey? That's where it is!"
"It's also possible that I saw it wrong because I was too sleepy."
"No, it's really useful! Then -" She took out a drawing book from the bag behind her, then turned to a page and showed it to me, "Have you seen this person before?!"
……what is this.
A strange thing composed of color blocks and crooked curves, stretched like plasticine into a distorted image.
"It's a really great abstract painting."
Since I didn’t know how to respond, I just praised it.
"...This is the portrait of a prisoner I drew."
It turns out to be a human being! !
In this case--
Wait! Judging from the color and position of the clothes, it looks like Kyle's lace?
No, can Ning really catch people with this kind of thing? !
"N-I haven't seen it before."
"Really? This guy is a very scary demon. If you meet him, run away immediately." She didn't seem surprised. It seemed like this wasn't the first time.
But this thing has no effect at all. Even if we meet it, there is no way to connect Kyle Russ to this painting so easily.
"In addition, if there is any movement in the Demon King's territory recently, you should run away quickly." As if she suddenly thought of something, she reminded, "There have been more and more movements on the Demon King's side recently, and maybe something will happen soon." There’s a war, and if a war breaks out, this place might be destroyed.”
……Why?
After the Imperial Regional Inspector finished speaking, she left, leaving me dazed on the spot.
Is there going to be a war?
If you think about it for a moment, it does seem interesting.
When I came to the Demon King's Castle before, it seemed like thirteen Demon Kings were having a meeting.
Could it be that we are discussing matters related to war?
This would be troublesome...
This town was originally located outside the Immortal Fortress. It was a place that could easily be crushed by iron hoofs after development. If the village did not exist, the hotel would also be gone, and my situation would become very difficult.
Whether he can survive or not is a question worth debating.
Because I exist as a "gatekeeper", if we send out troops, the boundaries of the demon clan will be blurred, and I will become dispensable.
"Weary, tired... I don't know how many more years this superficial peace can last."
It's best to start after I'm sure that the Demon King won't kill me casually.
After all, the green hills are still there, so you don’t have to worry about running out of firewood.
At least wait until I can escape the influence of the Demon King's thought stamp before fighting again.
Maybe I can achieve great achievements in that war, become a powerful commander, or even the commander-in-chief of mankind, and then marry Bai Fumei, accelerating the unification of humans and demons.
······Was there something strange mixed in just now?
I sighed.
Thinking about that now is a bit too ambitious.
After all, I am just a small innkeeper now. Even if I am a hero, I will not receive any preferential treatment in the war.
So just do the things at hand seriously now.
But I have to think of another way out.
My experiences these past few days have made me deeply aware of one thing.
Human beings have limits, so we have to...
Talking nonsense.
What I want to express is that there is no future for just opening a hotel.
So as usual, I started thinking in the empty hotel.
So, what should I do better?
I can't leave this village for long.
Except for necessary purchases of ingredients, other things are not allowed.
After all, I need to be here as a gatekeeper. If any brave men arrive while I'm gone, my situation will be precarious.
Even if the hero doesn't have the strength to defeat the Demon King, it will be difficult for the Demon King to trust me after that.
So you have to have a buddy.
But just having a waiter is not enough, because I guess it will be difficult to support myself just relying on the income from the hotel, let alone paying wages.
In this case--
Sure enough, the only way to start is from the food store.
About my opening of a delicatessen in another world.
Speaking of which, there is indeed no such business in this village. Everyone lives a peaceful life. Except for a blacksmith, it is also very difficult for the villagers to repair their houses. They need to spend money to hire carpenters from the Immortal Fortress.
Not only is it time consuming, but it is also laborious.
That's it for normal times. When winter comes, a lot of villagers will be waiting to reinforce their houses, and by then the carpenters will be so busy that smoke is emitting from the soles of their feet.
