Labyrinth Restaurant

"Mother, our last customer has returned, and it's time to close today"

"Right, Cosmos"

Cosmos, who was watching the floor, spoke to me (Alice) as I was cleaning up the kitchen.

It's too late, and it'll be time to close the store.

Today was the day the Demon King was out to Atchira, but it seemed he was able to safely close the day's business.

"Well, why don't we just clean it up and keep it for dinner?"

"Yeah, it must be time for your father to come home... oh, if you rumor"

It is often late to return on days when half of the Demon King is out on Earth, often spanning dates, but apparently he was able to return relatively early today.

All right!

Now, as my wife, I must welcome Kitin and her husband.

"Welcome back, ah, ah, ah... demon king!

"I'm home, Alice. Cosmos is here."

"Welcome back, Father. And, Mother, it's time to say 'you' without lighting it up."

Ugh......, I'm nervous again today and bit my tongue.

I know it's about time I got used to Cosmos being right, but because I kept calling him "The Demon King" for years, I get strange lights.

"Good evening, Alice"

"Oh, Lisa was with you today, wasn't she? Welcome."

Apparently, Lisa was with the Demon King today.

I seem to be busy with both work and schooling these days, but this is how I dine with her from time to time.

Perhaps this is the occasion to be jealous of Lisa, who has been in this territory (territory) if she is meant to be, but now we are in each other's shoes about it.

Sometimes I also interrupt Lisa's home store with the Demon King to get dinner, and the three of us, or we can exchange cosmos and other friends and acquaintances to enjoy eating out.

Getting used to it was a horrible thing, and at first I was worried that such a distorted relationship would form, but now this had become our everyday routine.

Besides, Lisa gives me a proper distraction when I strongly want to be alone with the Demon King, and I, too, well I'm going to be reading the air quite a bit, so so so far there's been no major clash (to the extent that there have been a few light mouth Genka's, not yet developed for blade wound sharpening).

Speaking of which, I'm getting along with Lisa's family, too.

In a nutshell, it's difficult to explain. It's a complicated pattern, but when I met you before, you said, "If you're the daughter-in-law of a future stepson, it's like a daughter or grandson to us". I also feel a little too tolerant, but that kind of care is appreciated.

It was a strange feeling to be treated like daughters by far younger people, but honestly it was also a pleasure for me to have no more real parents.

"So the cheesecake in that store was delicious."

"Heh, that's interesting. Now I want to be with you."

One of the good things about the Demon King's frequent trips to Earth (over there) is that information on various delicious stores was to come in so often.

Just as the Demon King and Lisa sometimes go together, I also visit the store with the Demon King.

Sometimes it's just me and Lisa going out without the Demon King. What you're talking about is a secret to the Demon King.

Yeah, well, if I had taken Simon or Lime to Japan with me before (I hid my elf ears with a hat), I would have been quite surprised. Well, there was a little incident then, and I ended up pulling it up along the way.

"Speaking of which, Master Lisa. As for the example project, with budget and personnel objectives, I was wondering if we could start operating in full next fiscal year."

"Wow, are you sure! Thank you."

Cosmos has been with Lisa lately and seems to be planning some new business.

It also has to do with the content of cultural anthropology that Lisa is studying in college, but you think she's going to collect and preserve everything about culture?

This world, the human world with its labyrinth cities, is currently undergoing a period of great transformation due to its contact with the demonic world.

After a few years, the momentum only increases rather than diminishes.

Some parts of it would be good from the point of view of the development of culture and civilisation, but that is progress off the path to be followed in this world as it should be. It can also be said to be the result of a cultural invasion.

As someone responsible for one end of that responsibility, it is Lisa's say that she wants to at least strive to preserve this world as much as possible.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't think Lisa needs to feel responsible, but at the same time, I think she does. I want you to work as hard as you can not force yourself.

Plus, being a former brave girl, she can't act on her own, so the actual activities will be carried out by Cosmos' organised organisations. Is Lisa's role like that of an advisor?

Leaving cultures around the world as materials and, in some cases, sponsoring certain individuals and organizations. It is not just about collecting and preserving, but sometimes spreading knowledge about public health and medical care.

They're actually going to pack up the details while running it, but roughly speaking, the main purpose is to do things for people in the world.

There's a similar part to our regular Mr. Gardo's organization (where), but in that guy's case, it's in the form of moving as you please without thinking about it later, and then followers later (like picking up people in need with a throwaway cat feeling), so you can probably split up residence.

"Then it's time for me to go home. Because it's early tomorrow."

"It's time for me to spare you, too. Good night, Mother."

At the end of the meal, Lisa and Cosmos went home.

Regardless of Lisa, who is busy with her schooling and work, Cosmos is family too, and I think you can stay or whatever you want to live in this store with me (I made alterations to my living space when I got married, so I can afford the room), which is stubbornly complimented.

Whatever, you don't want to get in the way of me and the Demon King when you're newly married?

... Well, I appreciate it when it comes to thanking you, and I can't complain because I'm in that generously sweet state right now.

"We'll have a drink together next time we have time."

"Yeah, well, good night, Alice, and the Demon King and Mr. Cosmos,"

There have been a lot of changes over the last few years, one of which is that Lisa and I can now enjoy alcohol (she's pretty strong, by the way. I had drunk and quelled Mr. Time and Mr. Gard and all of Alan together before).

Most importantly, if the next day isn't a complete holiday, you can't start drinking late at night.

I'm a little sorry, but drinking with me means another opportunity.

"Alice, I'll be here tomorrow and the day after tomorrow"

After the two of them left, the Demon King told me.

Apparently, we can stay on this side for two days.

Though I'm here for half the week, that breakdown is irregular. It's a pleasure to be with you two days in a row.

"So do you want to go somewhere?

"No, I'm sorry I left it up to you, I'm going to the store."

While I'm on the (over there) side of the globe, tied to Gitigi's schedule, I get worried that I'm okay with working here, but originally, this store itself is the product of the Demon King's hobby. I'm sure just spending time here will take your breath away.

I know exactly how that feels.

Because even for me, this place is special.

"Morning, Alice."

Good morning, Demon King.

The next morning we finished breakfast before we started preparing to open.

I'm just a little sleepy today, so I'll rush ahead and work on it.

Nevertheless, it is a task that has been repeated hundreds and thousands of times already.

Even if you were meditating on your eyes, you wouldn't get lost.

A look at the ingredients for cleaning the store.

The windows and tables are shiny.

Skin and chop potatoes and onions.

Yes, what should we do for the day?

It won't be long until opening time when I'm moving my hands, moving my legs, and deciding on some consultations.

Apparently, we made it today.

Karan Cologne and the sounds of doorbells that could reward visitors.

Apparently, the first customer arrived today.

I told him with every smile I could, as I have repeated countless times before.

"Welcome!

◆ ◆ ◆

I'm talking about what time (when) it's not now and where it's not here.

There was an odd restaurant deep in a certain labyrinth.

This is an extraordinarily weird restaurant that serves wonderful dishes in the world.

Humans, elves, demons, adults, children, men, women, everyone became obsessed with the store.

But what's behind a delicious story.

Oh, my God, the owner of that store was a bad, bad demon king.

Demon King's actions can always be selfish.

A lot of people will be swung by that whim.

One time, such a demon king fell in love too.

Nevertheless, it's hard for the girls in the other demon king.

I get flirted with scattered, sometimes crying, sometimes shuddering, and I don't have time to rest my mind.

But they never gave up on their feelings.

patient, gutsy, without giving up...... well, we made some compromises,

Still keep reaching for what you want until the end,

That's how I lived happily ever after.

- And.

And their story never ends.

The days of love will continue, everywhere.
