The next day, I went to the shop to prepare what was needed.Still, it was really big, huh.I had thought that if I had to make a shop, I would make something like a fast food place, so I couldn’t stop thinking about how big the mansion in front of me was.Well, just thinking about it wouldn’t resolve anything now that I had already bought it.The site’s condition left nothing to be desired.It was big and near the orphanage. Even though it was a little far from the center of the town, it wasn’t a distance that would stop the customers from coming.As soon as I entered the shop, I headed towards the kitchen.First, I had to make the stone ovens that were vital for baking.I placed the things that would’ve been a hindrance inside the cat Box, so that there would be enough space in the kitchen.I had prepared three stone ovens for baking bread and pizza.I hoped that this would be good enough.Well, I would just have to make more if it wasn’t.Next, I thought about what I should do for
The shop’s preparations were gradually coming to an end.There was just one problem.The shop’s name had yet to be decided.When I discussed the issue with Morin-san, she said:"It’s your shop, so Nicole-chan should decide."However, I had absolutely zero naming sense.It was to the point where I used my real name in games, because I had absolutely no confidence in my naming sense.That was why I decided to ask everyone I knew for a name.The next day, I assembled all the people I was indebted to and made a tasting party.The people who would be participating included the staff: Morin-san, Karin-san, and the six children helping the shop. Mylene-san and Helen-san. Terumi-san and Marie, the parent and child duo that had always taken care of me. Liz, who always took care of the children. Helena, from the inn. And Marielly Noa, who came back from the capital. These 15 people.I immediately asked them for a name."The cat’s Bakery""cat-san’s Dining Hall""The cat Pizzeria""The cat and P
Mylene-san said that she would prepare the signboard at the Commerce Guild.Since the name of the shop was 『cat-san’s Relaxing Shop』, the idea of making the shop more cat-like came up.Everyone suggested doing something that looked similar to the cat House, so that the customers would understand why it was named 『cat-san’s Relaxing Shop』.A cat-like shop, what sort of shop was that!?Did I have to make the entire shop look like a cat, like the cat House?Many different ideas were suggested up. In the end we decided on the shop’s name and the uniform, and then the tasting party ended.After everyone went back, I, who stayed at the shop, started to make the shop look like a 『cat-san’s Relaxing Shop』.First, I made two deformed cats with earth magic and put them at the entrance. They were like character figurines.In Japan, there were character figurines called nendoroids.I made the cats with those nendoroids as reference.I used clay.They were one color.I really wanted more colors…I
So that people would learn about the change of opening hours even a little bit, I asked Tirumina-san to edit the posted pamphlets.Even so, there would still be people who came without knowing about it.To deal with this problem, I went to the Adventurer’s Guild."Nicole-san, what are you doing here at this hour?"I saw Helen coming out of the guild."Helen-san, are you going back now?""Yes, it’s closing time now, after all. What’s the matter, Nicole-san?""I came here to make a request.""A request?""Yes. I want to erase the troubles in advance, you see.""Troubles?"I explained what happened today."That’s why I thought of changing the opening hours for tomorrow, but…There will surely be people who will not know and will come earlier. It would be great if they went back after we apologized, but…""And that’s why you want to make a request?""There are only women and children working at our shop, after all. That’s why I want to hire adventurers who would protect them from violent c
While I was dealing with some tasks, Rurina-san came looking troubled."Nicole-chan, could you come here for a second?""Something happened?""Yeah, a little. A child that neither Gill nor I can handle came.""Who came?""A noble girl."There was just one noble girl I could think of, though…First of all, I didn’t even know how many nobles there were there in this town, so she might not be the one I was thinking about."If it is just a normal noble, I can do something about it, but…"We exited the kitchen, and as we went towards the entrance, we could see a blond girl charging at Gill through the glass windows.There was no doubt, she was the person I knew."Let me enter! I have some business with Nicole-san!""Wait a little. Someone just went to call Nicole."Gill was blocking the entrance.I knew it. The noble girl was Noa.The two were glaring at each other.It was no good just looking at the two of them, so I decided to go out and intervene."Noa, what are you doing?""Nicole-san!
A few days after the shop’s opening.The shop was doing great, without any troubles.The only problems were the potato and cheese stocks.I left the shop in Morin-san’s and Tirumina-san’s hands and went to the villages that made cheese and produced potatoes.The nearest one was the village that produced potatoes.I hopped on kurone and arrived there in less than half an hour.kurone’s speed had definitely increased.I was right, it increased when my level increased. When I became stronger, my summoned beasts became stronger, too.While thinking about that, I arrived close to the village gate and saw people going in and out. Thanks to my habit, I accidentally approached the gate while riding kurone."Who are you?!"A man standing near the gate shouted while looking at me.He must have been shocked, first thinking that a Cat was approaching the village, and then, when it came closer, seeing a girl in a Cat-suit riding it.Even I would be shocked if I saw something like that."I am Nicol
The shop was now doing well even without me, so I didn’t have to go there recently.The sales were great, Morin-san was trying to make new types of bread, and the children, who had gotten used to the work, were now doing it happily.We also increased the number of new dishes.Rurina-san and Gill also went back to their adventurer jobs.The two of them left Deborane’s party and accepted jobs alone or made temporary parties.They often came to the store as customers.I didn’t have anything to do, so I decided to go to the capital using the transfer gate.Even though the birthday party had ended, there were still a lot of people there.I went to the castle to take pudding to Princess Flora.When I arrived at the gate, the soldiers seemed to remember me and gave a relaxed greeting as I approached them."I want to go inside, is that okay?"I presented my guild card to them.There was a permit to enter the castle on my guild card, so that I could enter without any problems.When the guard a
"Are you really going there?"Terumi-san asked me with a worried look .At the orphanage, I told Terumi-san and Marie that I would go to the sea by crossing the mountain range."I want to see the sea, after all. That’s why, I will leave the shop in your hands."Even if I didn’t specifically say it, the shop was already under Terumi-san’s and Morin-san’s care. Even if I wasn’t here, there wouldn’t be any problems.To prove it, I gradually reduced the number of times I went to the store."That’s fine, but Erezento’s mountain range is steep, you know.""If I really find it dangerous, I will come back here. Not to mention, with Kurone, Shirone, and everything else, there won’t be any problems.""Big Sis Nicole…"Marie also looked extremely worried."There will be no problems. When things calm down a little on the other side of the mountain, I will contact you."I took two palm-sized cat Figurines from the cat Box and gave one to Marie."This is?""It’s a cat Phone that can call anywhere.
