The War Hero Raises a Demon Slave - The War Hero Raises a Demon Slave chapter 42

42 – Decorate a cozy restaurant!

This is a place called ‘Mureut Tree Workshop,’ and the tree does not actually exist.

A legendary tree that is the hardest in the world, said to have been used as a weapon by giants a long time ago.

It must mean making something that strong.

Mureutmu Workshop was decorated with a spacious and open space.

In the ceiling, old wooden beams roll thickly, and a large spout lamp hangs high, creating a luxurious atmosphere.

In the center of the store, tables and chairs are arranged in various shapes and colors.

Some have traditional wooden decorations, while others are sturdy and simple made of iron.

Various storage furniture such as shelves, drawers, and cabinets were displayed on the wall, so it seemed like you could get pretty much anything here.

A clerk approached with a friendly smile.

“Hello. Are you looking for a bed?”

“A bed?”

“We are selling a ‘strong and durable’ bed for newlyweds.”

Ael looked at Einer while hiccuping at those words.

Einer laughed and shook his head.

“I’m looking for a table for a dining room, not a bed.”

“Aha, if it’s the table, come this way.”

The clerk led them into the center of the store.

There were rows of tables made of various types of wood in round, square, and rectangular shapes.

From solid oak, walnut, maple, cherry, mahogany, acacia, pine, teak and more.

Considering the shape, color, and material, there were so many options that it was difficult to choose.

“Oh my God. There are so many tables alone?”

“Because this is the central market.”

While Ael was stroking the table, Einer asked the clerk if it was possible to produce what Ael said.

The clerk who heard that said that of course it is possible, and if you choose the table you want, you can cut what you said directly there.

“Ael. Choose one.”

“I’m looking. But there are so many that I can’t choose.”

Wandering between the tables, Ael struggled with her struggles as she touched, tapped, and sat down.

A table is a very important piece of furniture in a restaurant.

Since it is the furniture that takes up the most space, the atmosphere of the restaurant is influenced by the shape of the table.

The atmosphere of the restaurant that AL wants is ‘a place where you can enjoy a cozy and comfortable home-cooked meal’.

To do this, you should avoid tables that are hard and give off a sense of government office.

But if you use a table that is too informal, it won’t be a restaurant, but a shabby street stall.

I had to find a table right in the middle.

Ael, who had been wandering around for a while, pointed to a certain table.

“How about this, master?”

The table that AL pointed out was a rather dark walnut table.

Rectangular with rounded edges, good size for 4 people.

The slightly slanted legs gave a sense of stability without being too flashy.

As I approached and pretended to sit down, it seems that a suitable height is fine.

“That’s great. How much does it cost if you add a chair to it?”

The clerk flicked a small abacus and informed Einer of the amount.

“I don’t think it’s bad. What if I do the process I mentioned earlier?”

“I’ll ask the studio about that.”

As the clerk disappeared into the store, Einer said to Ael.

“It has eyes that see.”

“hehehe… Thank you.”

Soon, a clerk and a carpenter came out from the inside.

An old carpenter wearing an apron full of sawdust asked Einer.

“How do you set the table?”

“Oh, yes. I want to make a round hole in the middle here. So I usually cover it and open it when needed to put the charcoal in the furnace.”

“It’s not difficult to drill a hole. If you put a furnace there, you’ll have to finish the rim with iron. But what are you doing?”

“I’m going to do a restaurant. I’m going to put a brazier and put pots and grills on it.”

A carpenter who roughly figured out what it was like replied that it was possible.

Einer asked when the clerk re-priced the tables and chairs that included the process.

“I’m buying in bulk, give me a discount. I’m opening a restaurant.”

The clerk then deducted the discount, saying that it was a certain discount for self-employed people.

After checking the amount, Einer asked again.

“Is there a public servants discount?”

“Yes…?”

“I’m a captain-level executive of the Port Security Force.”

Einer showed the port security badge in his bosom.

“This area is in charge.”

Actually, his area of responsibility is not the inland, but the dockside.

“Ah, yes… Then…”

The clerk bounced the abacus again.

After seeing the discounted price twice, Ainer was satisfied and signed the contract.

We decided to order only ten sets of tables and chairs.

I decided to pay the down payment first and pay the balance after receiving all the goods and completing the inspection.

I paid a down payment as part of the reward I received for defeating the goblins this time.

Since all the shelves and cupboards are there, there is nothing more to buy here.

Einer and Ael headed to another store while being seen off by the clerk.

* * * * *

The next place they stopped by was a general store called ‘Garden of Hundred Flowers’.

It is literally a place that sells various small interior items.

As soon as she opened the door and entered, Ael was amazed at the huge space in front of her.

In the store, there was an overflow of various items on display, and the smell of fragrant perfume and candles wafted from here and there.

Blessed with the sunlight coming in through the glass at the front of the store, the showcases of thousands of tens of thousands of various items unfolded endlessly.

A clerk approached Ael who was frantically turning his head.

“Hello. Is there something you are looking for?”

“Ah, yes! I’m going to buy utensils and stuff like that.”

“Ah, you’re in the process of preparing a new house.”

“Eek?! No, that’s not it…”

“Come this way.”

Cutting off the bewildered Ael, the clerk led them to the place where the dishes were gathered.

“Ouch. That’s a lot.”

A variety of neatly arranged tableware caught my eye.

On the left, there are various sizes and shapes from large plates for main dishes to individual small plates, bowls, and sauce plates, and different patterns and colors in various materials such as ceramics, glass, and metal.

On the right are various types of drinking vessels, such as cups, glasses, wine glasses, and teacups, ranging from large sizes for orcs to drink to small sizes suitable for use by spirits.

In the center are delicate handicrafts, such as handmade ceramic bowls, brass plates, silver spoons, tableware made of luxurious materials, decorative vases, salad bowls, and fruit bowls.

As if possessed by something in her, Ael went in between them, inspected this and that, touched and listened to her and made a fuss about her.

The clerk followed Ael and kept talking about this and that, trying to keep Ael from coming to his senses.

“By the way… I’m sorry.”

Ael hesitantly spoke to the clerk who was just recommending a dinnerware set for newlyweds.

“Actually, it’s not about living as a newlywed, but about opening a restaurant…”

“Oh, is that so? Then you’re talking about it a long time ago.”

The clerk put down what he was holding and took Ael’s soul away again with tableware at a reasonable price that can be stocked in large quantities.

After looking around the tableware for some time, Einer dragged Ael over to the other side.

“Oh, how cute!”

Looking at the small porcelain bowl that can contain both salt and pepper, Ael exclaimed.

“Oh my God! It’s so pretty!”

Touch the curtains of various colors and patterns hanging on the wall one by one.

“Oh, there are so many kinds.”

Take a look at the well-folded tablecloths and carpets.

“I think I’d better buy something like this.”

Look at the white napkins and the small vases that are good size to put on the table.

“Hmm, it’s been a while.”

Looking at the beautiful candlestick and the frame with something unknown drawn on it, Einer noticed.

Like that, Ael wandered around her general store for almost two hours.

She decided to go back and spent a lot of time unexpectedly, but Ael followed Ael without saying anything.

Because it was nice to see Ael so blatantly happy with her.

In that way, Ael decided on all the small tableware and props needed for her restaurant.

20 Sets of plates and bowls by size, 10 sets of condiment containers for the table, 60 sets of tableware such as forks, 60 sheets of napkins, 5 large candlesticks, 10 vases, 2 wall clocks, 1 strange picture frame, large 3 palm flower pots and so on.

There are additional miscellaneous interior items, but it was difficult to list them all.

Obviously at first it was a simple and cozy atmosphere, but….

Still, Einer decided to buy them all without saying anything.

Daham is the center of maritime trade in the southern part of the continent, and prices are more stable and lower than other places.

I got a bounty this time, and I also decided to leave her restaurant to Ael, so I didn’t think I was interfering with this or that.

“But what is this?”

Einer held up what looked like a long reading table from side to side.

“That’s because I have a place to write it.”

“Yes? Got it.”

Einer asked when the cashier at the counter bounced the abacus.

“Other places offer discounts for self-employed people.”

Considering that, the clerk calculated again, and Einer took out the port security badge from his bosom.

“I’m actually like this. This is the area in charge.”

“Ah, yes…”

Einer watched with satisfaction as the clerk bounced the abacus again in embarrassment.

* * * * *

Ael asked after deciding that he had roughly bought everything he needed.

“Shall we go back now? Are you hungry? I’ll make you a quick lunch.”

“I have somewhere to go before then.”

“Where?”

“I’m going to buy your clothes.”
