“Thank you for waiting”

__

Moving from the kitchen to the floor**, there were ears on the Demis’ head, and even tails. It’s probably their half beast form. Feeling my heart getting excited from the sudden appearance of the fluffiness, but I still feign a calm composure.

The moment I placed the plates filled with the sandwiches, Boss instantly gobbled it. How hungry must he have been.

Chise-san too, directly took the plate from the tray and gobbled on it. Hunger rules over everything.

“This’ good like the rumors are, onee-chan” Ryuse drinking the latte, smiled and said so.

Though I am glad that he praised me, but the way he’s calling me onee-chan caught me off pace somehow, but even so, I lightly bowed my head and said “thank you” regardless.

Ryuse-san then asked me a question with an uninterested tone. “Your first time seeing a Demi, right? You sure you know about Demis?” Ryuse-san looking upwards towards me, narrowed his light blue eyes. As I felt a sharp gaze from him, I nodded with a smile on my face.

“From birth, a race who has the ability to transform… Am I right?”

“Well, I’m not talking about that..”

“…? Uhm, isn’t Demis a race who can transform between human, half beast and beastial form?”

“Like I said, I’m not talking about that..”

 

Was I probably wrong to deduce them of so? With my head tilted, the irritated Ryuse-san then explained with a loud voice.

“Don’t you know that we have strength enough to tear apart a human like you? Huh? Nee-chan!”

“Aah, yes. I know of that. Hence why everyone here is called the strongest DemiMercSquad right.”

The instant I answered so, everyone turned stiff hard at that moment.

….Hmm??

 

“…onee-chan, that.. don’t tell me you’re an natural airhead?”

“…oh my, what should I do.. I have never been told so..” As I hesitated in answering Ryuse-san’s question.

Am I a natural airhead? I’m not sure of myself.

**mofumofu footnote at the bottom of post

 

“Ain’t she probably just not having any common sense? She’s not alright for sure, that is.” While gobbling down his sandwich, Chise-san said so while pointing his thumb out to me.

“Haah, can’t help it then… hey onee-chan.” After letting out a sigh, Ryuse-san stood up and approached his face to mine. Looking closer, it really is a beautiful face indeed. His pure white hair and light blue eyes has a divinely charming beauty to it, and his narrowed eyes and the way he smiles with the edges of his lips pointing up makes one think of him like a cat.

Ryuse-san’s unexpected loud voice brought me back to my senses.

“We are the strongest DemiMercSquad as the rumors go, and hired by the fief lord to maintain the security of this city. That includes protecting a weak young lady like you, which is also our job”

In contrast to his tone, his light blue eyes seemed cold. I then stared deeply into his eyes.

“Even inside the city, there are bad people waiting for their chances, you know. That’s why we lots will protect you. In return, you have to reward us accordingly, alright? Paying later is fine too”

Aah, I see. So that’s the reason why Sena-san who came by yesterday looked as if he’s investigating something.

Worried for a young lady like me who started a shop alone, they came all the way here. Even if they are hated by the villagers in some ways, but they really don’t look like bad people themselves. Additionally, their sense of justice is strong.

Assenting to it, I then started talking.

“Thank you for worrying about me. But I am able to protect myself so please do not worry about it.”

At the academy enrolled by noble sons and daughters, I had always persisted in keeping my position as the first rank among the ladies. I too can use magic to protect myself, and that is also why Grandfather allowed me to live by myself.

“Please do relax in this shop, since this is Café Mattari.” (this is a pun)

I hope that they will come here to relax and not due to work.

Conveying so, Ryuse-san was bewildered.

“…..Hah?” Looking even closer, it seems Sena-san and Chise-san too was dumbfounded. Even Boss stopped moving his hand while gobbling down his food looked towards me.

I see! It’s because they aren’t aware that I’m able to use magic, hence why they aren’t convinced and thinks that I’m an ignorant little girl.

“…Oi…” Boss-san with a low tone.

“Coffee, seconds”

“Yes, right away”

“Sandwich, one more”

“Understood”

Another serving of coffee and sandwich ordered. I then cleaned up the plate and headed back to the kitchen to work on the pastrami sandwich. Afterwards, as I headed back to Boss-san, Ryuse-san was stuffing his cheeks with the sandwich.

….Don’t tell me, they came here to be employed? But I do not have the leeway to employ the MercSquad, and to begin with, it’s unnecessary.

But if so, will they stop coming here…

But if they are here, the other customers are the ones not coming. But in contrast to that, I’m able to relax.

Then I won’t be having my relaxing time anymore? As I think of so in disappointment, I bowed my head towards the demis.

“Enjoy your time”

 

Clearing up the other tables and heading back to the kitchen, I have my lunch with whatever is left.

Afterwards, as I secretly look towards the floor, the four of them looked like they were enjoying the drinks. I then silently went up to the second floor, taking a book in my hand and headed back to the kitchen. Then sat down on a chair and flipped open the page of the book.

Accompanying my reading is the fondant chocolate that the female customer left untouched. Since it will be a waste to throw, I ate in small mouthfuls with the fork, enjoying the smooth texture with a tinge of sweetness and sourness from the raspberry sauce.

Yup, it’s delicious.

Speaking of which, Boss-san was curious about it just now. And it compliments well with coffee, I should try recommending it to him.

“Why are reading a book in hiding?”

My body flinched in surprise from the sudden question. Lifting up my face, Sena-san was leaning his body over through the counter.

“M-my apologies. B-but to do so while the customers are looking is.. I believe it’s rude to do so..”

“….Humm, not that we would mind though”

Hearing his reply, I patted my chest in relief. But I should stop reading while there are customers present. As I promised so to myself, Sena-san said something unexpected.

“I feel bad but, I’ll be borrowing the place for a short nap. I’ll include a tip for that”

“eh?… a-alright, it’s fine but..”

Today will probably end up like yesterday with no more customers coming in. Since there will be no other customers, there is no reason for me to refuse.

“…That, it’s fine for you to read” Sena-san glanced towards the book in my hand and headed back to his seat.

 

Ah, I forgot to recommend the desserts.

Leaving the book on top of the kitchen’s workspace, I slowly headed to the floor.

Then, the next moment, I spontaneously turned stiff.
