「I see. So that’s how he got in.」

「This is the new guy recommended by oyabun-san.」

「My name is Bonta. Please treat me well along with the store.」

Bonta-kun is a newcomer, but for a newcomer, he has been a great help from day one, both in preparation and in cooking.

As oyabun-san said, he has a lot of experience in cooking before.

It seems that he drifted to Royal Capital because of something in his past, it is good manners not to inquire about that, perhaps he will tell us about it someday.

Anyway, it is good to know that Bonta-kun has increased the amount of food we can prepare, so we don’t have to worry about running out early.

「It’s nice that the food isn’t sold out early anymore.」

「With Bonta-kun, we can prepare a lot.」

The number of skewers that can be prepared has also increased significantly.

This is because Bonta-kun, despite his size, is very dexterous and skewers meat one after another.

He is now able to handle a large pot for miso stew, making it easier to make a large quantity at a time and to keep the flavor consistent.

It is well known that curry tastes better when made in large pots and pans, and this rule applies to stewed dishes as well.

And above all… 

「Gahh! What a nice place!」

「Nee-chan! Drink up!」

「Dear customer, this is not the kind of place for that. If you can’t drink in peace, then please leave.」

「「Yes!」」 

Because of the location, inevitably, there will occasionally be rude customers, but as soon as they saw Bonta-kun’s huge body, they shrug and pull away.

Bonta-kun himself is a very mild-mannered and gentle boy, but many people were intimidated by his huge body.

I can understand why oyabun-san picked him up and took care of him.

「I’m glad to see that Bonta-kun seemed to fit in well in this store.」

「Yes, he works very hard, and I hope one day he will be able to start his own business.」

「He seems like a good guy.」

「Yes.」

Grandpa also assured Bunta-kun that he would be able to start his own business in the future.

For the time being, I will ask him to contribute to the preparation of as many dishes as possible.

「I’m glad I joined this restaurant. I’m learning a lot, and the owner is very kind, just like a mother.」

「―――Ehh! A mother?」

I’m only three years older than you, Bonta-kun…

Bonta-kun was fifteen years old (face only), so I’m not much different than an older sister?

I mean, it is not unusual in Japan for a couple to have a wife who is three years older than them, but me, a mother?

「Well… landlady is young, but she’s solid. A receptive woman is sure to be popular with men. I guarantee it. If only I were fifty years younger.」

「…Grandpa, are you serious about that?」

「More ale and salt on the loin!」

「Don’t change the topic!」

The manpower shortage has been solved to some extent, but I’m only 18 years old and I don’t agree that I’m being called『mother』.

I want to get married or something normal someday, too…

I wonder where my prince on a white horse will be?
