Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou (WN) SS Overlap 5th Annniversary

SS Overlap 5th Annniversary

Dangerous Poster Girls

After Kaori joined their group in Horaud Town and before entering the desert area.

Hajime and co were having meal in a moderately large town.

Myuu was sitting on Hajime’s lap while intently stuffing her cheeks *hamu hamu* with vegetable. It was a really warming sight. Hajime’s eyes were even radiating a gentle light.

「Kuku. Thou art already completely a papa despite thy reluctance before this.」

Hajime averted his gaze in respond to Tio’s words while spitting out 「Shaddup」.

Seeing Hajime like that caused Yue’s cheeks to blush as she muttered 「……Nnu. Precious」. s.h.i.+a looked like she was in a daze while going hoee~, and Kaori was staring with a soft and cheerful expression.

「Even so, our additional order hasn’t come yet.」

Hajime said that while looking toward the kitchen. Perhaps he was trying to change the topic.

This restaurant was a relatively splendid eating place. Apparently it was the best place in town. It was s.p.a.cious and clean and also had good reputation. It had several popular dishes that some people even came here from afar just to eat the foods here.

In fact the place looked bustling and even now all the tables were full. An old looking woman who seemed to be the restaurant owner’s wife was busily going around between those tables.

「The restaurant’s size and the staff’s number doesn’t match.」

It was just as s.h.i.+a said. The restaurant was completely lacking manpower. The cooking was certainly satisfying, but this situation was a bit unsatisfactory. Perhaps they should change restaurant if their latest order took too long to arrive……when Hajime was about to suggest that, hostility suddenly entered inside along with the door getting thrown open.

「tsu……found you-. You b.i.t.c.h, the blonde over there! How dare you do that to my friend-」

Standing there were several men who looked really thuggish. Their gazes were looking straight at Yue. They stopped breathing for a moment when Yue’s beautiful face turned toward them, but they immediately spouted out angry words after that.

「What’s this Yue, your acquaintance?」

「……Nn~, I don’t remember them.」

「Don’t screw around-. You claim that you don’t remember going around crus.h.i.+ng people’s b.a.l.l.s!? I’ll kill you!」

Yue-sama hit her palm as though to say that she got it now. Apparently these men were friends with someone who experienced crotch smas.h.i.+ng from Yue somewhere somewhen.

「H-hehe……there’re twelve of us. And there’re even more outside. You got nowhere to run. We’re gonna get you make up all your doing to us slowly.」

The man who seemed to be the leader was looking not only at Yue but also to s.h.i.+a and others. Then his face that was red from anger was instantly overflowing with vulgar emotion.

「Whoops, don’t try anything funny. I’ve men outside ready to blow up this joint with magic. You guys also don’t want to involve unrelated people――」

*Bang-. Bang-.* The man got sent flying to outside.

The man’s friends went 「Eh?」 with a stupid looking face. Bullet storm also a.s.saulted them at the same time. The men flew beautifully through the air. At the same time uncontrolled magic was fired toward the restaurant, blowing a part of the wall and ceiling cleanly.

Silence returned inside the restaurant, where the ventilation and the view to outside had greatly improved from before.

A second pa.s.sed. Kyaaaaaaaaaah A scream became the trigger for the customers to all run away.

「H-Hajime-kun!? It’s bad to suddenly shot even though the restaurant customers were taken hostage isn’t it!? Isn’t it!?」

It was a truly correct argument.

「No negotiation with terrorist. Enemy has to be exterminated even if n.o.ble sacrifice is needed. It doesn’t matter whether you’re on earth or another world. That’s just common sense, Kaori.」

It was completely a tyrannical statement. Rather it was Hajime who was the terrorist.

I don’t want that kind of common sense! Kaori yelled while holding her head in her hands. Then two women entered the completely deserted restaurant. And then they looked around with pale expression and found the madam and restaurant owner on the ground unable to stand. The moment their eyes met, they spoke in harmony.

「「We can’t work in a place that is like a battlefield like this! We’re going home!」」

They then dashed away. Most likely they were restaurant staffs. After seeing them off that with a dumbfounded look, the owner stood up with a stagger……

「Y-youuuuuuuu. What in the world you have done-. You d.a.m.n terrorists!」

It was a completely correct statement.

After that, Kaori and Tio patiently consoled the owner and his wife who were enveloped in anger & despair while talking with them. Meanwhile Hajime and co were giving explanation (all these were done by the men) to the town guards.

After a while, Kaori seemed to have finished talking and walked toward Hajime with a troubled expression.

「Umm, Hajime-kun. I had talked with the owner but, it looks like he has a lot of troubles……」

「Then, give this to him.」

Hajime held out a leather bag that was stuffed with money. Kaori’s expression spasmed. s.h.i.+a hit her palm with her hand while looking like she had solved a puzzle.

「I see! This is like Hajime-san’s teaching to Tou-sama and others that ninety percent of problem in the world can be resolved with violence while the remaining ten percent can be solved with money.」

「Hajime-kun!? At the very least use “sincerity” or “dialogue” there! Even solving problem with money is already violence enough!」

The common sense person Kaori-san firmly pushed back the money to Hajime while explaining the circ.u.mstance of the owner.

According to him, it seemed that originally there were two waitresses. Those two suddenly took a break because of injury and sickness. Those two just now who ran away were temporarily hired workers.

Furthermore, apparently today there were several reservations for later by people who came from afar. It seemed that all those people were regular customers or people with high position in the society. They had made their reservation since one month ago. If those reservations were canceled suddenly by the restaurant, the survival of this restaurant would be threatened.

「I see……. The foods here are delicious but it’s unfortunate. I’ll pray that their next life will be luckier than now.」

「Don’t treat it like it’s over already for them, Hajime-kun!」

Kaori hugged Hajime who tried to leave the restaurant right away to keep him in place. It couldn’t be helped so perhaps he should knock her unconscious and carry her on his shoulder……Hajime was going to carry out his brutish thinking, but a young and pure voice interrupted him at that timing……

「Papa~, you aren’t going to save them nano?」

「Nuguh」

A pure gaze from a daughter. The sparkling eyes of a little girl who believed that her papa was a hero without a shred of doubt was cracking the man’s heart that had gone past being dry and become cold like tundra.

「S-stop. Stop that Myuu! Don’t look at me with a pure gaze like that! Kuh, I’m gonna get purified at this rate……」

「H-Hajime-san is fl.u.s.tered!? My theory of Myuu-chan being the strongest is gaining credibility fast desuu!」

「……Nuu. That Myuu, she’s formidable.」

Putting aside s.h.i.+a and Yue’s expression that seemed to say 「Myuu, what a terrifying child!」, in the end, Hajime was defeated by Myuu’s sparkling eyes and accepted Kaori’s suggestion. In other words,

「W-welcome! Please come to your table over here.」

The destroyed restaurant was temporarily remodeled to become open terrace style and the group accepted being temporary staffs for reimbursing the damage too.

Kaori was servicing the customers with expression that was twitching from nervousness. She was dressed with this restaurant’s waitress uniform.

It wasn’t only Kaori. Yue, s.h.i.+a, Tio, and even Myuu were the same.

White blouse, blue and black ap.r.o.n skirt, and then knee socks. They looked truly lovely and charming. Furthermore, every single one of them was a beauty. What’s more, they were beautiful to the extreme that it would be impossible to find anyone like them in the neighborhood. Naturally the eyes of the customers kept stealing glances or even fixed completely at them.

Kaori was nervous, even so she was receiving the customers with cheerful smile. It was to be expected from her.

s.h.i.+a too. She was working energetically with her bluish white hair that was rare even for demi-human swaying behind her. She was gathering attention as though anything like discriminatory mindset didn’t exist at all in the people here. Men who saw her choker and sighed while griping 「Well, there’s no way she’s free huh」 appeared one after another.

Tio too was suppressing her usual perverseness, in addition she would have to lean forward a little when bringing food to table. Her brutal chest that got emphasized a lot drew the men’s gaze like magnet.

And then, the little waitress Myuu was showered with wholehearted attention because of how warming it to watch her and how it provoked worry seeing a girl that little doing waitress’s work. Especially the elderly, seeing the figure of Myuu doing her best 「Nnsho, nnsho」 to carry plate to their table knocked out all of them.

But, amidst them all, the one who was s.h.i.+ning brighter than the other……or rather, the one who was gathering attention of different kind was……

「……Nn. Order quickly.」

「Eh? Ah, sorry. Err, what is your recommendation……」

「……tsk」

「!?」

Terrific beauty that was like the highest grade bisque doll. Even though her looks still had childishness remaining in it, the atmosphere that was drifting out from her was simply bewitching. The vampire princess waitress――Yue-sama.

There was not even a shred of business smile from her. She stared fixedly at the customers expressionlessly as well as intensely. Her wordless pressure of 「Just order anything quickly. Then eat quickly and get out immediately」 was tormenting the customers. Apparently Yue didn’t have any smile to give to man other than Hajime.

But, that impossibly rude treatment to customer was making the customer in question to look intoxicated with reddening cheeks for some reason.

Even after that, Yue-sama continued to treat the customers with 100% tsun and 0% dere, but it was ma.s.s producing addicts to Yue-sama’s bitter treatment in inverse proportion instead.

Hajime who was watching that while was.h.i.+ng dishes in the kitchen was,

「Owner. Which is better, blowing up the deviants or blowing up the restaurant that gathered the deviants?」

「Please don’tttt-. Everyone is usually a respectable customer!」

It seemed that Yue-sama wasn’t suited to work as a waitress, in various senses.

The restaurant was abnormally booming with the owner getting acute stomachache from the terror of fearing his restaurant might get blown up anytime as the compensation.

In the end, Hajime and others were successful in saving the restaurant without dirtying a little girl’s pure heart.

Also, Hajime properly recorded Yue’s waitress appearance using his artifact for eternity.
