After we sold out of hamburgers, Dusty, Carlo, Hurt and Ira gathered at the diner for the launch party that evening.
The diner is crowded at night again today, but thanks to the launch party, I am exempted from working. I am sitting proudly without working as an employee.
Yes, five fruit juices.
Letty, the waitress, brings me a fruit juice.
We would like to drink at such a party, but unfortunately we are underage. We are not under the same strict control as in our previous lives, but we must refrain from drinking.
'Here, for you, big brother.
'Yes, thank you.'
'Aww, it's nice that only your brothers are having fun. I wish I could have been in the stall too.
Lettie, who brought the cup, sounded envious.
The fact that not only the man but also Ira joined the party must have made Lettie feel alienated.
As expected, Ira said something similar to Lettie, so I know what Lettie wants to say and what she wants to do.
'...... Then, I'll try to help Letty this time.
'I'll do it! Next time you teach me how to make hamburgers!
When I asked her to do so, Lettie smiled happily and went to take orders from the other customers.
I guess Ira won't be able to accompany me every time I open a food stall from now on," Letty said. In any case, I was planning to ask Lettie to help me once I had gotten things going, so it was no problem.
Well, we've got the drinks for now, so let's just have a toast first!
'Tori, please!
'Yes, me?
Tori is in charge of the food, since it was her idea.
Hurt lifts his glasses with his finger, and Carlo nods in agreement.
Well, I'm the one who started it.
'Well then, cheers to the opening and selling out of the hamburger stall!
''Cheers!
Everyone clinked their cups of fruit juice to my cue.
First of all, we drink a toast by slurping it down.
'Phew, I didn't think they'd sell out before noon!
Dusty slammed his cup down with a rather old manly motion.
'I was just going to go check on them, but there was a long line and they're sold out.
'They must have been impressed by the taste of my vegetables.
Not everyone, but the vegetable-loving elves loved it. Some of them even asked for more lettuce and skipped the p t .
I know.
'Of course not, it's my bread!
The meat is the heart of the hamburger. So, thanks to me.
Maybe that's why Hurt said that. Dusty and Carlo argue with each other as if they were competing.
This story has been told over and over again, but it all runs parallel.
Everyone is confident and proud of their ingredients. I think that's why they made such good hamburgers.
Yes, yes, I'm tired of hearing that story. I've said it many times before, but it was Tori who came up with the idea in the first place.
'That's true, too. I'll give the top honors to Tori. And I'm number two.
'No! I'm the one who invented the idea of king lettuce and bouquet lettuce together, so I'm number two!
I'm the one who created the golden ratio of p t .
When the number one seat is gone, the number two seat is up for grabs.
Ira is taken aback by this argument right after he intervenes.
Why do they insist on being number one or number two? It's good to have everyone's help.''
Boys are creatures that like to look good.
There are some things you can't give up as a boy of your age.
Ira understands women's hearts, but it seems she doesn't understand men's hearts either.
Nevertheless, I am glad that we sold so many hamburgers.
With this, we can continue to operate the stall and make money. The money would be shared among Dusty, Carlo, Hurt, and Ira, but I was able to sell about ten silver coins in a few hours.
With this, if we work hard, we might even be able to buy some of the ice magic tools that were too expensive for us to afford.
I'll work hard while I can, and hope to stay cool in the hot summer with ice magic tools.
Well, okay. Let's leave Dusty and the others alone and order some food.
'Yes, I think so. We have a lot of money from the sale.
'Oh, but in the end the money will go to Tori's house! Next time you're going to eat at the launch, make sure it's at our inn!''
'Yes, yes, okay.
First, as a reward to ourselves, let's enjoy celebrating the completion and sale of the burgers with our friends here.
Life is best when we work moderately and enjoy it.
