The next day at school, a guy from Kaito talked to me proudly. Apparently, he's going to a new country. According to Kaito, most of the other players are moving today. Kayo's sisters said it's today, too. It's going to be a busy day.

School's over and I'm ready to get into the swing of things. Today is the day to open the shop. It's in my hands whether or not we can succeed.

Okay! Let's go! Let's go!

I logged into the game and when I got out of bed, there were four lovely maids in front of me.

「「「「 Oh, welcome back, master」」」」

Yuck! He logged in and then he suffered a fatal blow as soon as he could.

'Tact, are you okay?'

Lily comes in a maid's outfit. Lily's maid outfit is classical. It's a maid's outfit that you often see in comic books and such.

"Ah, ah... it's okay.

''Hmm. That was too stimulating for Takt-sama.

'Oh, of course!　Hey, I'm dressed like this!

The shy Aeon maid outfit is a mini-skirt commonly found in maid cafes. If you're embarrassed, why did you wear it? The gesture of holding down a miniskirt is a foul.

Setia's maid's uniform, which is not at all embarrassed, is French. It's a shameful thing! Security won't let you see anything, but be a little shy.

Love Fire's maid outfit is Japanese style. It's relieving. I see miko outfits all the time, so I don't feel strange about it.

He didn't ask me what I thought of it this time. Setia says.

'I don't need to ask. Takuto-sama's reaction is the answer.''

Crap! I can't even bite my head off... it's not like I have a choice. I thought I was going to be in a normal waitress outfit.

'I mean, why are you in a maid's uniform?

"If Aura-san's going to open a store, this is it.

So the first word was also sent by Aura, by the way? What the hell are you doing? That man! Thank you.

But the problem is that if I let Lily and the others out of the shop like this, it's going to be a complete maid cafe... what are we going to do... this.

When I went downstairs, Regin-san was there. Regin-san is dressed as a normal waitress in a restaurant. Hey, man.

"Mr. Tact, there's a huge line of people waiting in front of your restaurant.

Huh? Seriously? When I look outside, I see an unprecedented line in front of the restaurant!

The escape was blocked by At the very least, I'd like to do something about Lily and the others' clothes, but they're only getting maid outfits. Moreover, Lilly and the others are ready to do it.

Aura-san, you've blown something into Lily and the others.

Huh, it can't be helped...let's just open it up.

'Sorry for the delay. We're now open for "Lieprich"!

When I say that, they cheer. Are you that excited about it?

The honey juice sells like hotcakes. The price was set by Mr. Aura. I have a lot of work to do just to make the juice.

Lily and her friends are busily carrying the juice I made. I was sure something would happen, but they are carrying the juice properly. This looks like it's going to be OK.

It looks like I have two main goals in mind when I come to the store. One is to hear that the honey juice is delicious and the other is to be able to see Lily and her friends in all their pretty glory.

It was Liese-sama and Aura-san. But even without that, it seems that a certain amount of people came in. The reason is Lily and the others. Looking back, they were popular even without the maid's outfit.

People went out of their way to nominate Lily or Regin, Lizardman for Ion, Dryad for Setia, and Cerian Beast for Love Fire.

Along the way, Liese-sama, Aura-san and Nephi-san also came. I kept my promise. I'm afraid of what's to come.

But I just wanted to do a normal coffee shop... how did that happen?


I close the shop.

I'm tired!

Everyone takes a seat. That was a lot of honey, now it's down to half. My cooking skills have improved, naturally. The money is sketchy. I promised Lewin half of the store's revenue, but it's still a lot of money.

With this, we should be able to buy our own food.

But it's tough to keep this up...I've come to understand that opening a store is a production job.

Thank you for your hard work, Regin-san. You saved me.

Good job, Mr. Tact. I've never done anything like this before, but I'm glad I was able to help.

That's right...I've never heard of Valkyrie as a waitress. At the moment, though, we're talking about the same name.

I give Regin-san her reward and log out for dinner.


I finish my dinner and bath and log in.

When I go downstairs, there were a lot of guests. It's Lewin-san and the others, Mel and the others, and Luke and the others. Inside the shop, it's crowded, so I put the summoned beast back in stone.

''Ahh~?

Screams from the female players who were enjoying the loco moco... if you want it, you can summon it yourself.

I mean, this is the first time I've ever seen a member of Mel and the others, and I know them. But I need to apologize to all of them first.

'Welcome. I'm sorry... but I've been too busy to respond.

I knew I'd been getting a lot of emails while I was cooking, but I didn't have time to return them, not very much.

'Sounds like your restaurant was doing very well,'

'Yes. We made a lot of money, but it was hard work. It's hard to be in production.

Maybe the exception is Tact-kun. Lily and the others have a helper NPC.

Pow!

The male player stood up. What is it?

You're going to the store with Miss Lily?

'Yes, but?　Lilly and the others are getting better at being able to act alone, which helps.

"Heh-heh-heh.

Lily and her friends look happy and maybe a little proud?

Don't you think an NPC is a beautiful girl in there?

'Yes, but?　I just hired him yesterday.

Do they have the same costume as the NPCs in the store?

For some reason Lily and the others were serving customers in maid costumes.

"Please open a store!　Seriously, please!

Male players ask for all the help they can get. I know how you feel. But...

Rejected.

Oh, no, you could at least wear a maid's outfit.

Still rejected.

I can't show Lily and the others their maid outfits. As I was saying this, one of the members of Mel's group came over to me.

You have become a completely stubborn father. Tact.

You're still a sprout, aren't you?

'Haha!　I've missed it. That name!　But a lot has changed, hasn't it?

The name of this bean sprout is Miyauchi Shinya. The name of the game is Rekka. He is a friend from school when he lived with his sister Kayo and they used to play games together in the past.

In case you're wondering, I'm overmatched by this guy in the game.

'Right. I'm going to promote you to Enoki.

Why is it a mushroom...

Can I tell you?　It's a direct hit to your privacy.

I look down at Shinya. That's all he needed to know.

''Don't do it!　I mean, you're as relentless as ever.

Then the other male player spoke to me.

'I've missed this exchange too. It's been a long time. Tact.'

This man is a male friend of Kayo's sister. He's Kengo Mizuno, who I came to live with Kayo's sisters and suddenly got into a fist fight with. The name of the game is Kego. He decided to play it at random... this guy. Let's not say the reason for the fight for his own sake. The hint is Kayo's sister.

'How can you have a party with Mel?'

I don't blame you.　I can't say no when you ask me.

Good grief. Men are so hard.

The last one was someone I had a hard time with mentally. Kawaguchi Momoko, a friend of Kayo's sister's, who was an all-around athlete. Her game name was Yuko. The reason I was no good at it was...

Mr. Tact!　Duel!　Let's duel!　Of course you'll take it, right?

Of course not.

I remember being bothered to fight since I was a kid. That doesn't seem to have changed.

'Ehh. I'd love to fight a real Tact-kun.

'Okay. My summoner will be the one to deal with.

'Haha!　I like that too!　Let's go to work.

I'll summon Aranea and Sabik.

"...let's wait for the game. Yeah.

This man is not good at bugs and snakes. Well, if you're a woman, it's probably natural that you're not good at them.

''Ku... to prepare a summoned beast that I'm not good at, that's not fair!

'Hee hee. It's fine to be unfair.

'Ugh... you used to be so cute!

No, no, no, he's always been like this, you know?

'Yes, yes. He's the type of guy who will thoroughly crush you in a strategic game.

I don't want to be told by someone who has lied and beaten me up about a game I've never played. That's when Mr. Ruin walks in.

'I know you've got a lot to talk about, but I wonder if you'll be able to run errands or something, Tact-kun?

'I haven't summoned today yet, so I'd like to summon and go level up.

Summons!

Everyone reacts. Apparently, they all haven't yet. Well then, let's take you to the Beast Demon Guild.
