Back To the Beginning
Approach at Restaurant

The first day was successful enough to take their trust in us, so we just kept it, and slowly went deeper into their lives. One day is not enough for that. The fact that they are five brothers will greatly help us to strengthen our bond at once. Until later, one day, the right moment to ask about it.

Of course we don't rely too much on that still-unclear grey expectation. In addition to trying to find the 'it' in the restaurant, we were helped by Mr. Wolf looking for a lot of information about the looting of the treasure. The perpetrator, the time and the route... We've all investigated. Unfortunately, there is nothing special about it. The information must have been known by the government as well. All we do is study and look for patterns that might help.

There's one strange thing I just found out. One night, Chloe came out to me and Noland said that she was very happy to do this search with us, because she had felt something strange in her body before and had fainted many times because of it. So, he had no problem if this quest took a lot of time.

He fainted so many times?! I became a little worried because of the alleged reason Chloe gave us to help our search, just to throw away useless trash... Just like Mr. Wolf said.

But fortunately, his condition is normal at the moment, and hopefully it will remain normal. Although there was a strange attitude that appeared before that led us to the gray expectations that we were facing right now.

I gave up trying to hide it for longer. As a result I tried to be frank with Mr. Wolf about the reason we suspect the restaurant has the missing treasure.

Hearing our explanation, Mr.Wolf just laughed loosely and said one word 'Interesting!' I asked him further, but Mr. Wolf answered him with something not so meaningful.

"Arthur, do you know any other name of this kingdom, more precisely the city of Breithorn? ...City of wonders."

What good is it that I know such general knowledge? That's useless for our current problem.

Mr. Wolf ordered us to focus on finding the treasure in the small restaurant, while to find information, leave it to him. He's been acting like a boss to us all the more days, well that's the reality of the moment.

We comply.

In the end there is only one way, which is to wait patiently and rely on that grey hope.

......................

The next day at the restaurant. The conditions were exactly what Jack had expected last night. As a result, we have to work hard again and again. I still hold a position as a manager of financial statements as my main job. But every now and then I help to buy the materials needed, while trying to get closer to my current partner.

My current partner is Elli. A girl in the kitchen. She wasn't too far away from me, just a year below me. So we can talk like our peers.

"Elli, I wonder why you took on the task in the kitchen? do you like to cook?"

"I love to cook! because when I was a whiny little boy, my mother loved the food I made and always praised it."

I wanted to ask about his mother, but it was a very bad move. Because I didn't see any of her parents in the restaurant. Most likely...

"If Nick how? she also seems to like cooking?" kuwaku.

"Sister Nick also loves to cook! ashamed to admit it, but he is better than me. I swear I will beat him one day! I only lost at the age! if I was the same age as him, I would definitely win."

Keep making him tell stories! that is the best way to form a relationship!

"Don't you think Nick's a little handsome?"

"Huh? you think so too? ...It's not just you who think so, many of our customers are also. Do you know what? Previously we had attracted customers with his good looks, and strangely it worked. Never mind that, we better stop by there!"

"Emm shouldn't we buy the ingredients?"

......................

The next day I got a chance to buy more ingredients, and this time I was with Jack, because he had no job. Emm. He's got some free time.

"I suspect the reason you became the owner of that restaurant is because you are the oldest! isn't she?"

"Saying 'old' is a little painful, Arthur. But what you said is true. As for my age at the highest among others, I have to manage this, that thing, and others that are very troublesome! I want equality!"

"Aren't you ever tired of being a restaurant owner?"

"Hm... I'm basically not the owner of the restaurant, the place belongs to the five of us, and we have to discuss to make a decision for the place. That place is a very valuable legacy, so inevitably we have to look after it. If you ask bored, I admit I've been bored a few times, because I aspire to be a soldier."

"Warrior? it suits you."

"Thank you, I insist on building these muscles. But it seems I'll never be a soldier."

"I think even if you can't be a soldier, at least your muscles can drive away the thugs who want to disturb."

"Huhah! it reminds me of something! Once one night we were in came to the bringas who wanted to plunder us. I'm pissed off dong! I accidentally hit them at some point and got them thrown for it."

"Well! and those guys never came back, did they?"

"No, they come back every time. They became our loyal customers after that."

"..."

......................

The next few days I got another chance to buy ingredients, my partner this time was Foys.

"Do you know, Arthur. This morning there was a very annoying customer, he yelled at me as if he was a king! even worse than that! I just do my job as usual, but what do I get? The humiliation! I held back my emotions while serving him back then and tried to forget his attitude towards me so as not to seep into other customers. But when Sister Eva serves him, he acts like a crybaby who needs affection! What the fuck is try! you perverted man! God, don't find me with those kind of people again! I'm going crazy! If you meet people like that, leave them alone, they're stressed people!"

"...Okay." Okay."

It turned out that behind his reticent attitude, he had a lot of grunts in his heart.

......................

It has been a few days since my attempt to get closer to the five of them began, and it seems that the results have become clearer. It was also seen from Noland who was very close to all the restaurant owners.

Noland is not to be fought if in this business. He formed a very fast and good relationship.

Chloe was also comfortable when questioned by some people and even customers who visited here. Maybe this place is suitable for practicing communication skills.

We keep working hard while getting closer until one day as promised. When our income stabilizes, we will party. For that moment we are all in the grocery storeroom.
