「I got it today, Water Cow.」

「I went hunting on my day off yesterday and happened to be at a watering hole. We were lucky.」

「The landlady only uses the meat from the monsters she catches herself.」

「If we don’t process the meat right after it’s caught, it will smell like animals, just like the meat and organs at other restaurants. It would be nice if we could find a butcher who could supply us with good meat and offal.」

「If that happens, will you be able to open more days?」

「Yes.」

「Is it difficult to find a butcher around here? Well, I’ll have the loin with salt…「This is the place, brother!」」

Today,『Nihon』, which is almost becoming a skewered food bar, was open for business in the evening.

The standing counter and table seats were all filled with customers, and both Lara and I were busy working.

Suddenly, a rather rude older brother walked into the restaurant.

Then, an older man came in.

He seemed to be around 30 years old.

He was dressed in an expensive suit that was common in this world, though he wore no tie.

He wore an expensive suit that was also common in this world with no tie, his black hair, and the sharp glint in his eyes despite his neat face let us know that he was not a regular person.

The tension in the store, which had been friendly until now, suddenly ran high.

「Boss Yard, this is a restaurant that serves cheap and tasty food, not a restaurant that boss cares about…」

「I don’t hear that from you! It’s about how you judge! Now, what shall we do with the shovel?」

It may not be a common sight in modern Japan, but these two are yakuza people who aren’t in business, and they came to our house to ask for some money.

In this world, unlike in Japan, the police don’t come to your door as soon as you call them.

There is no such thing as a telephone in the first place.

Of course, there is no law against violence.

The security situation was not good, and it was not a bad idea to pay these yakuza people to ensure your safety.

The reason why this kind of business existed was because it was a way to『control poison with poison』.

「Boss Yard, this place is located in the back streets of the downtown area where we commoners live, in a secluded area. There, a young proprietress of eighteen and a young shop girl have been running the store successfully for a month. I hope you can understand.」

The old man, a regular customer since the opening, began to persuade the boss.

It’s true that the rent here is very cheap, but it’s not a good location, and it’s not a safe place by any means.

When it first opened, there were some rude customers and robbers.

There were also several so-called thugs.

I eliminated all of them by force, banned customers who could not abide by the rules, and finally created the current atmosphere of the store.

New customers who could follow the rules and use the shop were welcome, but if they could not follow the rules… 

If they don’t follow the rules, I will remove them by force.

I’ve been in this world for about a year now, and I’ve gotten a lot tougher.

For the first six months of my life, I spent most of it hunting wild beasts for survival… It’s no wonder I’ve become stronger and more courageous at the same time.

「Boss Yard.」

「Shut up! Brother, don’t listen to the old man! A woman with a little bit of skill is no reason to be arrogant! Brother defeated wizards many times before!」

The young man, a servant of the boss, told the grandfather that there was no point in trying to persuade.

And, yes, this boss is not a wizard, but he has flawless body movement.

I wonder if I can beat him?

「(Um… now that you mention it, who is Boss Yard?」

「(The landlady has only been in the Capital for a few months, so she doesn’t know yet. Boss Yard is the leader of the most powerful vigilante group in the Capital right now.)」

One of the regulars beside me told me that the handsome but dangerous young man known as the Yard boss is the boss of a so-called chivalrous organization.

In this world, such people are called『vigilantes』.

In this world, such organizations are considered a necessary evil.

In the countries of this world, there were security organizations called『security forces』, but they were used for exterminating wild animals, detecting organized and violent crimes, and in case of emergency, they were incorporated into the military, so it was not clear if they would be dispatched for thievery, robbery, theft, or extortion.

There was also a shortage of manpower.

Many villages in the countryside do not even have a guardhouse.

So, if you pay the vigilante, you don’t have to worry about strange people coming into your store.

They move much faster than the security forces.

The private sector moves faster than the public sector, even if the world is different.

I guess it’s natural because I’m a good client who pays me for the services.

It seems that in many rural areas, vigilante groups are hunting magical beasts.

However, some of the organizations at the end of the line are not well thought of by the mainstream people because they are involved in human trafficking, prostitution, selling illegal drugs, and getting their hands dirty on behalf of the nobility and big merchants.

They tend to attract young people who are well-off, and those people are especially bad.

In fact, the young men attached to the boss are… very much like hoodlums.

「(There’s no rumor that he’s going to do anything rash… I’m sure the landlady can negotiate a lower price for the shovel. I’m sure they don’t take too much money from this kind of store.)」

I guess I should consider it a necessary expense.

The landlord of this place should have told me in advance…

I wonder if they thought it was too obvious to bother telling us?

TN:「ヤーラッドの親分さん」;「yāraddono oyabun’san’」. How should I translate this? Boss Yard? Or should I just use the Japanese suffix like Yard-oyabun-san?
