The Commerce Guild was crowded with people, just like yesterday.I don’t want to think that all of this is my fault.As I stood in the middle of the crowd, looking at the entrance, I noticed that Tirumina-san was there.My eyes met Tirumina-san’s."Nicole-chan.""Hello, Tirumina-san. What’s wrong, for you to be standing in this place?""I came to the Commerce Guild to see if there was work here.""Work?""Yes. In reality, I intended to return to being an adventurer, but I was stopped by my family. I thought that, in that case, since I am able to read, write, and calculate, isn’t there work in that direction? So I came to the Commerce Guild to look."Reading and writing…Calculating…"Tirumina-san, would you like to work at my place?""At NIcole-chan’s place?""I started a new business a bit ago, but if I had Tirumina-san’s help, it would be greatly appreciated."I wanted a manager for the egg business, and an intermediary for the Commerce Guild."By the way, what kind of work?""Oh, r
I wonder if I can do it♪ I wonder if I can do it♪I was able to obtain a lot of eggs, so I decided to make some pudding.They should turn out to be cool and delicious if I succeeded.A cool breeze brushed past my face when I opened the refrigerator door.Delicious-looking pudding was lined up inside.I picked one up and took it to the table.With a spoon in hand, I tried sampling it."It’s delicious~"The pudding was a success.My spoon didn’t stop moving.I ate two puddings, which I hadn’t had for a long time, before I was satisfied. Then, a visitor came to the house."Big Sis Nicole, we’re here!"Fina and Shuri arrived together."Sit in a chair and wait for a moment.""So, what did you mean by “a delicious thing”?"I had the two of them come be taste-testers."A snack made from eggs."I took out the chilled pudding and placed it in front of them.They each grabbed a spoon and took a bite of the pudding."Delicious…"Fina murmured her impression, while next to her, Shuri was shovelli
I arrived in front of the Foucherose family manor after I left the orphanage.Cliff was whatever. I was here for the sake of treating his daughter Noire to pudding.I told the gate soldier that I would like to meet Noire.The gate soldier knew about me and told me to wait a moment.A short time later, Noire came running over from the front door."Nicole-san!"Pomf~Noire dove into my waist.However, it didn’t hurt, thanks to the Cat Dress absorbing the impact."It’s been a while, Noire.""It’s fine if you call me Noa, you know. So then, what did you need me for? Even if you don’t have any business, I welcome you from the bottom of my heart.""I made a dessert, so I wanted Noa to try it.""A dessert?! I look forward to it!"She tugged on my hand and took me to her room."So then, what kind of food is it?""It’s a dessert made from a clucker’s eggs."I produced a pudding from the Cat Box.Of course, I didn’t forget the spoon.Noa took the spoon, and took a bite of pudding."It’s delicio
Maybe because it was early afternoon, there weren’t many people in the Commerce Guild.When I went to the reception desk, Mylene-san, who seemed available, was there."Nicole-san, what is the matter?""I’ll be going to the royal capital for a while, so I came to report it. So, I’ll be counting on Tirumina-san for the matter regarding the eggs, okay?"Though I said that, almost all of the matters regarding the eggs had already been left to Tirumina-san.I was only consulted about the price every once in a while."You plan on going to the Royal Capital?""It’s a little bit of escort work.""How long do you plan on staying at the Royal Capital?""I also want to see the King’s birthday commemoration that will be going on, so I was thinking of staying until it is finished.""Is that so? In that case, since you’re going to the Royal Capital, I’ll be looking forward to some souvenirs, okay?""That’s fine, but is there something you want?""I’ll leave it to you to decide.""That’s the most tr
The next morning, I got out of bed before the sun had risen.It was still dark outside.By all rights, it should probably be quite chilly, but I didn’t feel cold, thanks to the cat Clothes.When I went downstairs, I found Marie already up and about."Good morning, Big Sis Marie.""Good morning. Where’s Noa?""She is still sleeping. I didn’t want to wake her up.""Then, I’ll be preparing breakfast, so please go wake her up."I asked Marie to take care of Noa and began preparing the soup and bread that we had eaten for breakfast yesterday.A drowsy Noa appeared in the dining room."Good morning.""Sleepy.""That’s because you’re usually still sleeping at this time.""After we eat breakfast, we’re heading out, okay?"Today, I mounted Swaying cat before we continued towards the Royal Capital.There was a village along the way to the Royal Capital.We left after I purchased some fresh vegetables in the village.On the third day after we left the town:"Stop for a moment."I made Swaying ca
Late at night, Kurone moved and woke me up."Kurone?"I rubbed my eyes.Marie began to stir restlessly next to me.In order to avoid waking her up, I used detection magic.There was someone at a slightly distant location?I observed for a while, but there was no indication of movement.Hmm, it wasn’t there when I went to sleep.Had Kurone reacted to that presence?"Kurone, if it moves, let me know."Since they might have just started camping out at that location, I requested Kurone to watch it and went back to sleep.There was no reaction from Kurone after that, and I didn’t wake up until morning.When I woke up in the morning, I used detection magic, but it had not moved from that spot.I ate breakfast without worrying and left when the sun rose.I used detection magic again, for the last time.The stationary party had begun to move.If the other party were also travelers, it wasn’t strange for them to move out at sunrise.I advanced towards the Royal Capital without worrying about i
When I returned with the cage that was being pulled by the cat golem, all of the members were already awake."What, everyone was awake?""Everyone was awake?” is not the right response! There’s no way we can sleep while knowing that fifty thieves are headed this way, right?!""That’s right. As expected, there’s no way we can sleep in the middle of a probable attack by fifty thieves."Gran-san was also awake.Even though it’s bad for the elderly if they don’t sleep."Nicole-san, in the end, even I don’t think I can remain silent on this matter.""Big Sis Nicole, as expected of you, this time as well…""Even though I caught the thieves, you’re going to get angry at me?"At my words, everyone’s line of sight turned towards the cat golem and the cage of thieves. However, they were troubled about which one they should look at."Erm, what would be a good starting point to retort with here?""That’s a good question. For now, shall we listen to what happened with the thieves?"Everyone’s gaze
I heard the sound of someone running somewhere.The footsteps were gradually coming closer."Noa-chan!"The person who came running over dove into Noa."Mother!""Noa-chan, I wanted to see you!"A woman rubbed her cheek with Noa’s.She had beautiful golden hair, just like Noa’s.She only looked slightly older than 25, so she was young, especially for being Noa’s mother.Their features looked similar too.The heck, at exactly what age did you give birth to Noa?"So then, is Cliff not here?"The woman surveyed the surroundings."Father is still working back in town. He told me to come here first, by myself.""Is that so? It’s good that you arrived safely. So then, are you going to introduce me to that child dressed in interesting-looking clothes?"It was the first time someone had said that I looked interesting.I had already been told that I looked strange in the past.Both had good and bad points."This person who looks like a bear is the adventurer, Nicole-san. She was my escort to t
In the blink of an eye, almost one year has passed. The world destruction ritual was postponed because of Mayu’s death. Everyone was devastated and sad about the news. Especially to her significant other Maple. But this time Maple remains strong-willed and stays cheerful despite the happening. She continues living in the restaurant and assisting Akane. With Noah’s Plan in world destruction and making the whole world underwater using the genesis bearers powers failed. Princess and Isacia took advantage to defeat her. With all the royal family dead. Princess Charlotte was in charge of the whole kingdom. The true dragon race came into agreement with Princess Charlotte. The threat in the world was gone. Noah and Creator of Magic Mayu. A peace treaty was made. The leader of the true dragons the blue dragon girl named Cyan promised that the true dragons as part of the divine race will never gonna do anything that will harm the whole of humanity. The same promise was made by Princess Cha
I didn’t expect such an occurrence to happen. The surrounding was bright and full of happiness. There are some quarrels here and there but everything was moving fine.“There are too many customers we expanded and bring some tables and chairs outside the shop.”Using Megumi's plant magic. She created fairytale-style chairs made of vines and wood. From the roof, a big leaf was used. With that upgrade, the shop was looking magnificent from the outside.The customers are kept ongoing and everyone was helping us. Laura and Princess Charlotte already invested in the shop and brought many ingredients to keep the serving continue.With the insane challenge given to Akane. Akane was more fire up and started cooking in front of the customers like one of those live cookings.Seeing how big Akane’s smile was. I was thinking of Akane really wanted to become a sword saint. Cooking is a much better suit than her.“Can I also help the shop?”A little girl come and approached me.“Eh? Sorry but this i
The day has come. Waking up early in the morning. I opened my eyes. My room was still in darkness and the light was the ray of the morning sun coming from my window.I get up and seat on my bed. Made a big “Yawn~” and stretched my hands upward. It was still too early. The grand opening of our coffee shop was set at nine in the morning.Being the first one to wake up. I walked around the house and opened the main entrance door. Still with my exhausted self from sleep.“Well, gotta start getting things early…”Opening the door I saw a swarm of people waiting outside the restaurant. Even it was too early. There is a huge crowd waiting already.This is very surprising. I closed my eye’s again to check if I’m in reality.“Hmmm!”The breath burst from my mouth as I look at them.I closed the door and fixed myself as fast I can. I then wake up everyone whose still happily playing on their dreams. I pulled them out and presented them to the long line outside of the restaurant.“There are lots
It’s Autumn season the green leaves of the trees turn maple brown. The cold breeze of the upcoming winter is already felt. People are mostly busy cleaning the dry falling leaves.But in Floaroma City, that suppose to be the case. People are busy for another kind of reason.Colorful flags were placed around the city. Different kind of stall was constructed. People are getting busy displaying the product of Floaroma city.Early in the morning, the whole staff in the restaurant decided to have a day off together and walked around the city.“Wow, pretty.”Sasa said as she looks at a sheet of fabric displayed in the street. The fabric has different patterns on it and very pleasing to the eyes.“That’s right… I guess it is a festival season now.”“What sort of festival is it?”“It’s Floaroma’s dance festival. It started 250 years ago, and everyone dances however they please in the town square or the highlands. It’s about offering the fruits of the harvest to the earth god and praying for a
I gripped my sword tightly. Reinforcing the whole of my body with magic. I dashed forward and make the first slash. My sword clashes with the Demon king sword. After the first clash, it was immediately followed by the second and the third. In just a few moments our sword is already moving at terrifying speed.I always battle Akane with my sword. I know how swordsmen already swing their swords. I predicted the demon king's slash and intercepted them immediately. Unlike how Eriko battle me earlier. This battle is farther more extreme. Expected of the demon king.I already put revenge on the people killed by Eriko. Reflecting on myself. I was wondering…Why I’m still fighting?To me who don’t have anyone to protect anymore. Why I’m still fighting? I thought over and over again.I made the first strike but as the battle drags out. I’m looking toward Megumi’s face.Unlike me, Megumi has a future. She has a future with her child. Emiko needs a mother. Killing this person in front of me is l
“Let’s amuse each other until the end, my playmate!”Eriko dashed forward. She swings her red blood sword attacking me constantly.I manage to avoid all of the attacks because of the increase of speed of my new form.Focusing magical energy on my sword. I counter back slashed Eriko’s chest. My sword was covered with magical power and the strength I put on the sword was each to the magic I used. Resulting in a black spark that dealt incredible damage to Eriko’s soul.“Soul piercer!”“Managing to use soul piercer with a sword… You’re truly a talented one…”After successfully using a soul piercer with my sword. I get closer to Eriko and attack her continuously. When the soul piercer was successfully hit it the target. The target was stunned for few seconds.Within that seconds Eriko can’t move. I have to continuously attack her and destroy her soul.When I destroy her soul. That means she won't be reincarnated ever again. This evil will be erased forever in this world.To all of those pe
In the demon realm, the hunting and the hunted battle continues. Day and night monsters and demons continuously appeared right before my eyes.The divine race fear of the creator widens and want to kill me as fast as possible. But that is something I never wanted.I want to survive no matter what… I will go through this and destroy everything on my way.Katia beside me with her sword. She made a sword stance to prepare herself for combat.“Mayu they are coming!”I concentrated and beneath the ground. The monsters and demons emerge. Breaking the ground and causing destruction.“These monsters must be familiar. They are all programmed to hunt the creator's vessel.”“There are so many of them.”About a hundred monsters suddenly appeared. They are not just ordinary monsters. They are all S-rank monsters that can destroy an entire city if they wanted to.Not even a genesis bearer can handle such a number by myself. Especially that each monster has I’s own set of skills.Running won’t make
It’s been three months since Mayu left the restaurant. Leaving me with just her letter. I still feel fearful about what's going to happen to her.As usual, the restaurant was lively and has many customers. Sasa and Nana are steadily getting used to serving customers quickly. Megumi was now the chef when Akane was gone.Akane also feels bitter about what Mayu decided to do. Even still, I know that Akane feels anxious about Mayu. She is her closest friend after all.“Welcome to the red riding restaurant. Can I take your order?”“It’s the rumored cutie in the restaurant. It’s Maple.”“Your name was so cute just like your face.”“Can I take your orders now?”A normal day has come and I was forced to smile as I look toward the customers. Most of them are annoying always asking for my phone number and more.I’m exhausted. I thought and then goes inside the back of the restaurant.In the back of the restaurant was an alley. They are almost no one walking in this place. Looking bout the sky.
I have a dream… A very very long dream. A dream about me in the past. For a weird girl like me, childhood is rough. My family wasn’t as caring, but still, I’m grateful for the life they gave me.Without them, I would be unable to experience everything I’ve been through.Life comes in many flavors. Sometimes it's sweet, sometimes it's bitter. Sour days always come and there is a stale, tasteless day of boredom.Back in Japan I only care about myself. I never thought that I would need someone at my side. I always think that I can do everything on my own.I keep proving that everyone else around me was wrong. I accumulate money and live alone. It was fun being able to do anything without someone yelling at you. This freedom and loop of happiness. Being a slave to pleasure is for sure. If not made moderate, it will surely destroy someone’s life.Where am I again? I see, I’m back in my house again.Waking up early in the morning, there as I wake up Marie and Shuri playing with Shirone and
