The Archmage’s Restaurant - Chapter 39
# 39
Chapter.10 A day like that
“Why are you curious about this sudden intrusion?”
“that is… .”
The woman was an ordinary girl with a bit of cuteness.
“Is the restaurant still open?”
“There’s nothing you can’t do. “Because it’s a free job.”
I first guided the woman to the table. The woman nodded, pulled out a chair and sat down.
“I want to know what that guy likes…” .”
And then he mutters in an uncertain tone. I looked at her intently. As if it was intentionally more suspicious.
“You can’t just say things like that to others.”
Then, perhaps because she thought it would not work, the woman quickly declared surrender.
“Actually, it’s my daughter! “Of that person.”
“Don’t you know what your daughter likes about her father?”
“that is… therefore… Are you sure you know something about him? “Is he a regular here?”
I can’t say the word “father” easily and keep saying it’s him.
Why is this woman chasing her father?
Earlier, the man said that he had no idea how his daughter lived.
Actually, this woman’s mother knows the man’s occupation and where he lives. If so, the current situation is rather natural.
I can feel the passage of time in the way he calls his father “that person” instead of “father.”
“actually… I haven’t seen you in a long time. Because of my mother’s stubbornness… . Still, I believed in the promise that I would tell you when I became an adult, and finally… .”
But soon she lowered her head. Although he found it, he looks worried.
“I roughly knew the story of the two people. “I heard the story from my father.”
“Is that so? really?”
The woman lowered her head again and clasped her hands tightly.
First, I offered her some warm milk tea. This woman needs to calm down a bit.
“What’s this? “Does it smell good?”
“It’s a service, so don’t worry about money. “I’m giving it to you because you’re the daughter of a regular customer.”
“Thank you… .”
Of course, the man came for the first time today. But it feels like I’ll be a regular, so whatever.
The woman takes a sip of warm milk tea and sighs. As I see you sighing, I get the feeling that you and the man from earlier have a father-daughter relationship. The sad face looked very similar to that of a man.
“I’m saying this because I know a little bit about the situation, but have you ever blamed your father?”
“That used to be…” . There have been times when I resented something when I didn’t know anything about it… . “As I grew older and learned the truth, rather than resenting him, I had a strong desire to meet him once.”
“Oh yeah?”
“yes. So, what do you like, where do you often go, what foods do you often eat… . Can you tell me? I heard you’re a regular! Actually, I ran into one while I was chasing after him. While I was snooping around the construction site to watch him work, I got into an argument with some other men, and he immediately helped me. Since he has a daughter, he said he couldn’t stand to see his daughter’s daughter in trouble… .”
“Did you?”
“Yes, you haven’t forgotten me. Me. But you say something like that in front of your real daughter. Should I say something funny or strange? But still, the way he worked hard seemed to shine. But I couldn’t get the timing right and ended up not being able to reveal that she was my daughter… .”
“Wouldn’t it be better to reveal it now?”
“yes… ?”
“You came all the way here from another city because you wanted to find your father.”
“that’s right.”
“My father cried after eating this.”
I held out the glass of alcohol he had been drinking next to the milk tea.
“why… yo. this? “Why are you crying?”
“Now I can’t even eat that much…” . “You said you wanted to meet your daughter before dying?”
“What do you mean by that?”
She lost the glass of milk tea she was holding and made a shocked face.
“Oh, it’s a secret.”
I pretended to keep my mouth shut, as if I had made a mistake.
“The only thing I can say is that you should treat your parents well while they are still alive and can meet them. It’s useless once you leave. I couldn’t do anything for my parents. Nothing really. “Nothing.”
As I was talking, I actually started crying at myself.
only child. So, is my mother, who lost me, well? It’s a different world where there’s no way to even spread the news.
There are people who are blocked by a huge wall, but it makes no sense to want to meet each other but not be able to because they are blocked by a wall of only 15 years. That’s rather extravagant.
“That can’t be… . It was my mother who left first. And even though I couldn’t choose, it’s true that I left too. Why is my father always talking about me like that? I want to go! thanked!”
The woman moved as I intended. My father must have thought he was sick or something, so he ran out straight away.
This was the first customer I saw today, but he seemed healthy. You won’t die.
I looked at my daughter who ran out.
The hill road is long. If you run and follow, you will be able to meet many people.
***
In the center of Gray City, the Yeongju Castle sits proudly. It is divided into commercial and residential districts based on Yeongju Castle, and beyond that is agricultural land.
I sell my cheese here and there in the commercial district. To be exact, cheese from a farm on a hill.
People’s reaction to the new food was significant.
[We sell cheese]
[We have cheese just brought from a hill farm]
[Cheese that is delicious with bread]
Everyone at the stores selling food ingredients was promoting cheese. This is proof that there are so many people looking for it.
It’s not just cheese.
Large restaurants sell Palenque dishes that they have developed. It is said that it is so popular that I can’t eat it because I don’t have it.
[I obtained PalenQ. Special cuisine begins]
A large promotional message is hung in front of the store to attract customers.
It is said that people come from far away to taste Palenque. Let’s say we created one of Gray City’s specialties.
Of course, all royalties are my property.
The restaurant is just the way I like it. The materials are high quality and the price is cheap. It’s a business where the belly button is bigger than the stomach, but that’s the principle of my own restaurant.
A restaurant where I sell my food to people I like.
Palenque and cheese were making up for the restaurant’s lack of profit.
my treasure.
The treasure of the Dragon Lord who handed over the Dragon Heart to me.
The treasures that have been collected so far will be placed in Dragon Lair. Palenque and Cheese gave him enough pocket money to not have to touch the Dragon Lord’s treasure. The exclusive rights to Cheese and Palenque have been officially recognized by Gray Boy, so they are legally my property.
“Let’s scrape off all of Rurin’s clothes!”
“really? “Really?”
I declared to Rurin in front of the largest clothing store in the business district of Gray City. To be honest, I was a little shocked to hear her say that she didn’t have any clothes to wear the other day. I feel like I haven’t been paying too much attention so far.
To make an excuse, is it only recently that Rurin started paying attention to clothes?
“Can I really buy everything? “At first, I didn’t understand why people bothered to wear clothes, but these days, I think pretty clothes are good!”
This cry probably represents Rurin’s feelings. Our dragon smiles excitedly.
“welcome.”
When the owner lowered his head, Lulin shrugged his shoulders.
“OK! Hi-Hi. How did know?”
“I don’t know how to do it, but that kind of attitude is correct for customers. “You learn something too.”
“Is that so? Somehow, there’s no way a human could do that. What kind of clothes are you buying instead?”
In the beginning, I had the mindset to kill and loot all these clothing stores, but recently, perhaps thanks to my training, I have adapted to the human world. Would you say that the concept of money was created?
The purpose of the dragon’s play itself is to hide its identity as a dragon and assimilate into the human world.
“I can’t play around like this anymore.”
When Lurin tilted her head as if wondering what that meant, I said to the clerk.
“Can you give her all the clothes that fit her?”
“Yes?”
The owner looked at me with wide eyes. I showed the gold nugget in my hand.
“Are you serious?”
“Now just wait a moment!”
The owner reacted violently and started running. And Lurin is also talking nonsense.
“Oooh! entire? “Are we rich?”
“These days, there is a way to make money that I never thought of. And I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to create a clothing room in Rare.”
Since I haven’t paid attention to it all this time, I need to resolve it once and for all. Lulin’s eyes began to sparkle.
“Why should I buy clothes to wear even when I’m a dragon?”
“What is that! Where can I find clothes that big? Our dragons are a majestic race! “You can’t cover up black fur!”
“Then why do you wear it in your human state?”
“You should wear it!”
“You should wear that. “It’s time to wear it.”
“And I said I shouldn’t show my naked body unless it’s in front of you.”
“That woman again?”
An old colleague of mine who comes up whenever I forget. My resolve to take revenge when we meet again becomes stronger.
“And what about when you’re a dragon? “Isn’t being naked in human state and wearing nothing in dragon state the same thing?”
“I kill all humans who see my dragon form.”
“what?”
“Don’t worry. You are excluded! And there is no need to turn into a dragon. “Because I live with you, I want to be the same as you.”
I looked at her in a bit of surprise because Lulin secretly brought up what was on her mind.
I didn’t know why he never turned into a dragon after following me out of the dragon clan’s clutches.
Lurin, completely unaware of the waves in my heart caused by her remarks, just looked at me while holding a mountain of clothes in her arms.
“Are you stupid? How can you walk?”
I shook my head and asked the owner for some clothes.
“I’ll pay the delivery fee, so could you send it by cart to the restaurant on the hill?”
“Oh, do you want to? Since the quantity is large, we will provide delivery service!”
The store owner couldn’t stop smiling at the thought of having a huge customer.
After finishing shopping, I walked out of the commercial district with Rurin. When you walk out of the commercial district, there is a square in front of Yeongju Castle. This is Great Square.
There is a statue of the Gray family and a bench in the square.
Birds similar to pigeons fly around. A peaceful sight.
Although it was a dragon that was far from peace, it was now contributing to peace. The sight of him sitting in front of the statue while sucking on a lollipop made from a fruit called Mirushu sold in front of a clothing store is even beautiful.
It’s a sight I want to capture in a photo. It’s like a picture.
“you! What are you doing standing there? “Sit here!”
He taps the pedestal of the statue where he is sitting with a bright smile. He seemed to be in a very good mood, perhaps because he had a closet.
“Rather than that, why don’t you come here and eat something?”
“rice?”
At the sound of food, Lurin jumps up and runs towards me. Before I knew it, the candy I was sucking on had disappeared into my mouth without a trace.
“So are you going back?”
“no? Let’s go eat while we’re out. “Sometimes I want to eat food cooked by other people.”
“hate! “I like the food you cooked!”
Lurin began to tremble wildly while circling around me.
“hate! hate! The food you cooked! meat! meat!”
It was running around dizzyingly, so I grabbed it and opened its mouth, and a strange sound came out.
“Isn’t it good sometimes to try dishes unique to this town? “You damn dragon.”
“Then if it doesn’t taste good, can I throw it away?”
“Don’t spill it.”
Lurin looks at me while pretending to overturn the table.
The bad habits she knows about in the human world were learned from my colleagues who once acted with her. You could say they’re fucking colleagues.
“It’s more about the pleasure of eating food prepared by someone than the taste.”
“I always eat food prepared by someone!”
“Are you just bragging?”
Punishment for the dragon who talks nonsense. I started pressing Lulin’s temples. Jigsy. Squeeze. Screams are added naturally.
“Aang! “It hurts! How many times do I tell you that this hurts!”
“Stop talking nonsense and follow me.”
“Go together!”
As I left it alone and started walking, Rurin came running towards me.
