T-This is very different from the above world that my comrades had described to .
Uhm, actually, about that, this is a different world. But Ill explain it to you later, OK?
I understand!
She didnt ask for any details or follow up questions or anything. Thats proof that she was clever.
For the ti being, Im going to tell you so stuff I want you to morize.
I pointed at a car.
Thats called a car. Its kind of like a horse-drawn wagon, but the speed is different. Oh and, If you get hit by it, youll die, so be careful.
Yes! This is also written in the doujinshis!
But I feel like the kind of cars shes read about in doujinshis are probably the type that takes you to hotels. I taught her about sidewalks, roads, traffic lights, and other things while heading to the family restaurant I worked at.
Alright, so this is my workplace.
I understand! From the Japanese style room, Master takes 20 steps to the left, then 123 steps to the right, crosses at the first traffic light
That surprised . I didnt know the exact distance by steps, but she got the general directions and everything else correct. Because its 3 am right now, there probably isnt anyone around. Itd be the perfect ti to stop in and ss around for a bit.
Okay! After we head inside, I want you to stay quiet and pretend to be my clothes.
Okay!
I opened the front door of the family restaurant that I worked at and then I rang the bell at the front of the restaurant to let the staff know we were here.
Welco! Heyisnt that Suzuki?
Ms. Kuno ca over and welcod into the shop.
Sorry about dropping in so suddenly. I even went to the effort of getting ti off, but Ill be able to co in starting tomorrow.
You were moving, after all, cant help that. Speaking of, how was the apartnt? Was it really haunted?
N-No. There arent any ghosts
Huhhhhh, really? Thats sooo boring.
But there are slis and female knights. Ms. Kuno was a 30-year-old woman who worked here part-ti. She was brash and had a bad mouth sotis, but she looked after . She was often here at this ti because the late hours of the night paid more money.
So anyways, Im coming back again tomorrow, so I thought I should co over and organize my locker in advance.
Hoo, Im impressed. Were you always so diligent with your work, Suzuki?
You know . After all, I really enjoy cooking.
Fair enough, you do like cooking.
It seed like she was convinced with that.
By the way, is there anyone in the kitchen today?
Just the manager. It was Segawa earlier, but he had so urgent business co up suddenly. Knowing him, it was definitely about a girl, right?
I see. Segawa has the tendency to take ti off because of won. And the one who had to make up for it was always our poor manager.
Im going to go say hi for a second.
Oookay. Catch ya later.
I walked away from Kuno and called out to the manager from the hall near the kitchen.
Ah, Manager. Good evening!
Oh, Suzuki? Werent you coming in tomorrow? Are you finally ready to start working again?
Yep! Just like the shift schedule that I turned in.
Thats good! You moved to such an interesting place after all. There was a rumor going around you probably wouldnt be able to make it back to work alive.
I wasnt sure what to think of that rumor. These kinds of strange things always ca up at work.
Hahaha, its just an ordinary apartnt, I swear.
Oh? You can get an ordinary apartnt for only 300 a month? Thats lucky~ maybe Ill save up so money and we can be roomies! I wish hah!
By the way, this manager here is the only managent we have at this family restaurant. Hes the top guy, but hes surprisingly really nice. Before I started working, I thought the manager was really cool, but hes always picking up the slack and cleaning up after other peoples sses, so I feel really bad for him. It feels like Kuno is more in charge around here.
Anyways, youve got it rough tonight. I cant believe youre working here this late at night to cover for Segawa. Werent you also here in the afternoon?
Yeah thats right. But Segawa is a college student, you know. Rather than working at a family restaurant, girls take priority. Plus, Id be in more trouble if he quit on .
This might be my chance. Hes feeling used and abused right now!
Oh, thats right! I know I said Id be on leave until tomorrow, but how about you take a quick break for a bit? Ill take over the kitchen for an hour or so if youd like?
The manager gave a relieved and happy smile.
R-Really? B-but I cant pay you anything
Its fine, its fine! Theres so stuff I want to prepare for tomorrow anyways. Ill go get changed.
After saying that, I headed to my locker and showed Shizuku the kitchen uniform.
I should transform into this, right?
Exactly. Youre pretty smart.
Shizuku beca my kitchen uniform in a flash, and I headed back to the kitchen.
Alright, go take it easy, Manager; Ill take over from here.
O-Okay. I have to do so office work, so I guess Ill leave it to you. Ill co back in 30 minutes okay?
The manager is a pushover, so I thought hed give up after I changed clothes and ca back. Ill have to leave in a little under an hour then. I watched the manager exit the kitchen and then spoke to Shizuku.
Alright, watch the food I prepare and dish out carefully. Also, how you make it is written right here too.
I guess the main thing about my family restaurant is, everything is made and prepared in this central kitchen. And the oven is an induction style one. So, all you really have to do is rember how to prepare stuff. You didnt have to worry about the equipnt and being seen. I trusted in Shizukus mory and went and accidentally taught her everything in one go. She was listening quietly.
Well?
Yes, I have morized everything.
Really? Thats pretty impressive Shizuku.
Im so overjoyed to be praised by Master!
Hehehe, if thats true Im really thankful, but co on, theres no way you were able to morize all of this cluttered information I gave you in one go. And as I was thinking that, sothing happened.
Suzuki! The Late Night Kids Group just ca in!
What? What about the Manager?
He stepped out for a smoke or sothing I think. Ill have to leave it to you!
The Late Night Kids Group isnt hostile or violent or anything like that, but theyre sotis really discourteous and co in annoyingly large numbers.
They arent exactly the type of custors I want to handle while Im unpaid, but I said Id do it so might as well
I will handle this!
Huh? My kitchen uniform, or rather Shizuku, had said that in a rather positive and uplifting voice. Before I had a chance to react, my body started to move on its own.
Wait wait wait!
Please watch , Master.
Shizuku moved my body on her own. I was thinking about what I should do when my body started automatically cooking orders with ease.
S-Seriously?! The food is all being prepared flawlessly!
Ehehehe~
It looks like she seriously rembered everything after seeing it just one ti! I thought I would just leave everything to her, but then I suddenly saw sothing and had to speak up.
Ah, wait a sec before you put that gratin in the oven
P-Pardon . Am I making a mistake, Master?
No, its right. But sprinkle on two more pinches of cheese and leave it in the oven for 10 seconds longer.
I do not recall these procedures being listed in the manual though
That custor always orders the gratin. They like it when the cheese is a little more browned. If you leave it in a little longer, the custor will be really happy and theyll keep coming back, so in order to insure they keep coming back, you have to adjust the recipe properly.
I understand! I knew it, Master is really kind!
Ehh, you think so?
Yes, it is wonderful!
With that, after a long night of cooking and explanations, we were finally able to head ho around 5 AM.
