Okay. This is the end of the week. So we have so ti to spare. A person asked about the length of the chapter. So are indeed shorter than average, where others are longer. So far it doesn’t really matter for release schedule, but we don’t know how it will affect future releases. If we have chapters with double or triple the usual length, then we will probably return to chapter a week, but so far we are good. Expect new chapter in 12 or so hours.
And enjoy the read:

Chapter 87: The Opening, and The Rose-Colored Cafe
The opening of the reading cafe [Tsukuyomi] was unexpectedly popular. The system itself was unusual, so it beca the topic of many conversations, but it seems that one after another people who inadvertently overstayed in cozy atmosphere appeared.
For that reason, after the third day I made a Free Pass Course. By paying a fixed amount, it’s a course that will allow one to go in and out freely all day long. Though the charge is a little bit high, it is considerably cheaper than the usual course for a whole day.
With chairs and private rooms becoming insufficient, we opened up the garden, so people can read there too on the sofas. However that course was wholly self-service, it’s just for reading. And on rainy days it becos completely unusable.
The most unexpected of all is the ratio between n and won guests. Because it had the image of a manga cafe, I thought there’d be more n, but there were definitely more won. About eighty percent were won. It’s possible but, the reason for this might be because we specialized in story books.
It seems that the n wanted references, picture books, magic books, and practical books like fencing, they weren’t interested in story books as much. But even so, there are n who co in order to read about legends of knights, stories of adventurers, records of wars, and so on.
Since it beca clear that there were a lot won, novels that were popular with the won were stocked on the bookshelves as much as possible. As soon as the various books Lindsey bought were displayed, the number of won suddenly increased even further. Because there were a lot of people who wanted to read them, who knows how many copies I made, several of the sa books were lined up. My mouth can’t say what books they were. At least I want to distance myself from n who willingly read those. I feel danger for my body.
Maa, at any rate it was a great success and we earned a lot of inco. Since I was able to give out the salaries for seven people properly with sufficient margin, everyone left the mansion and found their own lodging. Rebecca-san and Logan-san left a long ti ago, while Will left at the sa ti as Wendy. Of course for the sa lodging. Though not in the sa room. Furthermore, Wendy was in the sa room as Sylvie-san. Hang in there, boy.
「Now then, it has been a while since we went to the guild, maybe we should do our main job?」
There’s a new [Program] in my smartphone, and I also want to try out the no-attribute magic [Gravity]. Everybody else seed to have other plans, so only Yumina is free. Because only Yumina’s guild card is blue, it seems she wanted to quickly make it the sa red rank as ours.
「Then, it’s just us two, right?」
「Hai. It will be a subjugation date」
Er no, excuse but I don’t want such a bloody date......
On the way to the guild she wanted to cling on my arm, but because it was difficult to walk she agreed to just hold hands. It’s still embarrassing in its own manner however.
When we arrive at the guild, there were adventurers gathered around lively as usual. When we try to approach the request board, a big man was standing in front of it blocking the way. In black trousers and tiger-striped vest, which he is wearing directly on his skin. A large double-edge axe is hanging on his waist, and so fashion chain necklace jangling on his neck. There’s not a single strand of hair on his head, who was broadly grinning.
「Oi brats, what are you doing in this kind of place? This place is not a kid’s playground, you know?」
It’s a face I haven’t seen before. Did this guy just co to the royal capital just recently? You can’t exactly forget if you’ve seen a guy with a bad sense of style once.
Looking around, so guys among the adventurers there are smirking. However they are not smirking at . They are smirking at the guy in front of .
Well now, what shall I do with that.
「You, did you not hear !? Before you get hurt, gugya! ?」
I shot him without hesitation because his hand was reaching out for Yumina. Well, of course with paralysis bullets you know? But it’s still as painful as receiving a body blow. I think he was still conscious, so I take out my guild card and put it in front of his eyes.
「If you judge people by their appearances you’re gonna have a bad ti you know?」
With his eyes wide open after seeing the Red Rank card, I drag the guy, then throw him out of the guild. I used [Gravity] to make him lighter, which was helpful. I could carry him easily.
When I returned inside the guild, the guys who were grinning so ti ago were bursting into explosive laughter. As I thought, they were smirking as they anticipated that it would co to this.
「Picking a fight with a [Dragon Slayer], that guy sure has so guts!」
「Soone should’ve told him. Everyone’s bad for keeping quiet! 」
「Fool! If we had we wouldn’t be able to enjoy ourselves then, would we?」
That is for certain, and everyone bursted into laughter. Say you....
Maa, actually, it’s not the first ti that I’ve been picked for fight like this. In my case, it’s probably because I don’t look strong in appearance (it’s pitiful to be the one saying so), so I’m often getting entangled with those type of bunch. Each ti it happens, I’m stuck with beating them down.
Maa, oh well. Anyway, I go towards the board and start looking at the posted commissions. This ti there’s only two of us, it will be safer to leave out subjugations, which require many people.
I take in my hand one subjugation request from among the red requests.
「Bloody Crab? Is it a crab?」 (tl: first is the term (kana), second is the description(kanji))
「It is a huge red crab which is a demon beast. It has four big scissors, and its trait is a very hard carapace. The shell is sold as raw materials for protectors, and it seems that its at can be sold at a high price too you know?」
Ho-ho. It is a delicious story, as expected of a crab. Let’s accept this for the ti being. Subjugation target is also just one animal, and because it’s not so far from the mine where we took down the mithril golems, we can get there easily.
Tearing off the written request, I take it to the Onee-san at the counter. Yumina is a blue rank, but I’m a red rank, so there’s no problem. It wouldn’t be possible to accept it however, if we had soone else who was also of a lower rank since there’d be more people of a lower rank.
「Ano~...... aren’t you Mochizuki Touya-san, the owner of the reading cafe [Moon Read]?」
Having received the written request, the Onee-san from reception desk nervously started talking to .
「Haa, it is .....」
「Ano, there is a series called [Knight Order of Rose] among the books in the Rifuziru Empire, but do you have sothing like a schedule for its arrival?」
While Onee-san is blushing, she approaches excitedly. It seems she really wanted to read that book.
「E~to, is that book completed?」
「Hai! It should have already been completed with 15 volus!」
If it is completed then it should be fine to buy it too. They might lose interest if I don’t buy new ones occasionally. should I go and buy it after returning from the subjugation?
「Then I’ll purchase them. It will be available by tomorrow, will it be all right?」
「So fast!? Waaa! I will look forward to it! Because tomorrow will be my day off, I will be able to enjoy it all day! 」
After we were seen off by the Onee-san who was being overly delighted and pleased, we leave the guild. Yumina, who has been keeping quiet all this ti, was intermittently looking this way.
「Ano~... Touya-san. Do you know what kind of story the [Knight Order of Rose] is ?」
「No, I don’t know. Do you know it?」
「Ah, well. It is a tale of a Knight Order of a country, there’s only n in the [Knight Order of Rose], and there is a discord with the won only [Imperial Guards of Lilium] developing in the background, and this series has lovemaking being depicted within the Knight Order... 」
Wait a minute. [Within the Knight Order]? Eh? That ans, with nothing but n in the Knight Order... Catching my glance, Yumina veeery quickly averts her eyes. E, so it’s really like that?
「... The promise has already been made, so it would be bad if I don’t buy it now, wouldn’t it... 」
「It is so... Well, it will likely result with just being seen in a particular light for a mont by the bookstore staff... 」
Unuu. I can’t have Yumina go and buy it as well.
「..... At any rate, you know that book pretty well, don’t you?」
「Ah~ no, you see, I was just saying it so there’s no misunderstanding, I don’t really have such a hobby, really. I don’t read this kinds of books, really!」
Really, you say? I give a doubting look at the small lady. There is also Lindsey’s case, isn’t she being similarly influenced too? Well, it doesn’t an that it is particularly a bad one. Each person has their hobby, right? I won’t say that out loud though.
「... As a matter of fact, I know the one who wrote that work. That’s how I ca to know about that work too...... Because that person is famous, it is not being published using their real na, they’re using an alias」
「Eeh, Who is it? Is it soone I know too ?」
「No, Touya-san perhaps doesn’t know that person. .... You can’t say it to anyone, okay? Ririeru・Rimu・Rifurizu-sama.... The first princess of Rifurizu empire」
...........................Ah ?
Wait~wait~wait~wait~just-a-minute~wait. The princess of the whole country is... writing that kind of book, you say?
「The royal families of The Rifurizu Empire and the Belfast Kingdom have known each other since olden days... I know Riri-anesama very well from olden days too. Maa, before anyone know it, she had [that kind of hobby] and eventually wrote it herself...... 」
My head aches...... I will stay away from Rifurizu as much as possible. It would be a disaster if I am even made a model or material after carelessly eting her with misfortune. Is what I think, but I still have to go and buy that book! Kuu.
Maa, since there’s no way that an imperial princess will be in the town’s bookstore, it’ll be alright I think.
But still, it’s fine with the Onee-san at the reception, and it’s fine with the bookstore guests, I wonder if I have possibly brought too much culture to this country?... I won’t have my na go down in history, will I?
Anyway, for now, let’s go defeat the Bloody Crab. I move through the [Gate] with Yumina.
