Chapter 7: 7-second wake-up...

'Big brother, wake up.

He wakes up to his sister's grumbling voice and a smack on the cheek.

There in front of me is Lettie, with an expression of obvious discontent on her face.

This is the second time today that I've seen this scene.

'You're hurting me, Letty.

'You should know how I feel about you waking me up twice in the morning alone.

I rub my cheek where I've been slapped, but Letty responds in a matter-of-fact way.

It must be a hassle to come up to the fourth floor every time you want to wake me up.

Next time I'll sleep in the courtyard or try to get up on my own.

'We'll be busy at lunchtime, so you'll have to help me, too.

'Okay.'

When Letty and I went downstairs, there were already a number of guests sitting in the dining room.

Lunch was served not mainly to guests, but to people working in the city, such as carpenters, peddlers, stream travelers, and adventurers.

Although they are based here, they are not always in the same neighborhood. If they are close enough, they will come to have lunch in our cafeteria, but they will generally settle for stores or food stalls near their places of work.

However, there are customers who come to have lunch every time for the sake of Lettie, our signature girl, to enrich their hearts after overcoming hard labor.

Lettie, stir-fried vegetables with a big serving of meat, please.

There is an extra charge for a large serving of meat.

'Eh, you should give us that much service.

'Let's be a man here and pay for a lot of meat, shall we?

When a customer asks for a large portion, Lettie looks up at him and makes a suggestion.

The expression on her face is very cute and somewhat protective, even to her brother.

If a pretty girl like this tells me to look up at her like a man, I'd be tempted to pay her.

I get it! Then, I'll have a big bowl of meat here like a man!

'Thank you very much!

Bowing to the man's order with a beaming smile, Lettie toddles over to the kitchen entrance.

He says, "Stir-fried vegetables with a big portion of meat!

'...... did they do anything weird to you, Letty?

'I'm fine. You worry too much, Dad. Besides, I'm used to it.

I asked him in a concerned voice if he had seen it too, but Lettie did not seem to be fazed by it.

Letty is getting very strong. ......

'My mother and sister Ayla have taught me how to handle customers like that.

I mutter something deeply moving, and Letty replies in a slightly lower tone.

I mean, she had a friendly expression and a cute voice earlier, but please stop lowering the tone of your voice all of a sudden. It's simply scary.

'And the way you begged me just now?

''Sort of.''

Maybe Ira taught him how to beg in such a subtle way.

Ira's family is a family of innkeepers just like us. Ira, the daughter of the innkeepers, must know how to treat men well.

On the one hand, I am happy to see Letty, who is so innocent, growing up, but on the other hand, I am afraid that I am beginning to feel her feminine cunning.

I wonder if she really knows about the third floor. They have become cunning. They're at an age where it's not surprising that they have a little s*xual knowledge.

They really know, but they don't want to be made to clean the third floor if they know, so they pretend to be pure. ...... That's not true. ......, is it?

'Big brother, don't just stand there, get over here!

As I am about to enter the sea of thoughts, Letty comes calling from the cafeteria.

Lettie is there taking orders with a large number of plates in her hands.

Mom is busy washing dishes and I have to work without thinking about anything else.

I move through the crowded diner, taking orders from the customers waiting for their orders, bringing the dishes, taking down the plates, and checking the bill.

During this time, working people come to have lunch as a break time. Therefore, many people eat quickly in order to make the most of their limited time.

Customers come and go at a much faster turnover rate than in the morning.

Hey! Tori! You look busy at lunch!''

'As you can see.

While I was frantically carrying plates, Michal was entering the cafeteria at a leisurely pace.

Unfortunately, the cafeteria was crowded and there was no place for him to sit.

Shiohashi, who knew this in advance, took countermeasures when he had lunch at our place.

Oh, it's Michal's brother!

'This way!

At a table for four in the back of the cafeteria, the children occupying the table were waving at Michal.

Oh! You saved my seat again today! Thank you!

When Michal thanked him, the children laughed happily.

'It's nothing compared to church work,' he said.

'Besides, we get to eat good food.

Yes, Michal has the orphanage children save seats for her so that she can have a seat she likes. And as a reward for his work, Michal treats the children to lunch.

Perhaps it is an aristocratic indulgence, but this is how he treats the children of the orphanage.

Some of the children from the orphanage got jobs after he introduced them to him, so he is very trustworthy.

'Come on, order what you like!

'What can I get you?'

When Michal says this, the children look at the menus and voice their concerns.

Such a scene makes me smile.

The children are looking at the menu and wondering what to do.

After the hectic lunch hour, the crowd calms down.

Occasionally, some customers come into the cafeteria at a later time, but these are relatively small groups and do not require the entire family to be present.

Leaving the kitchen and the dining room to Mom and Dad, Lettie and I take in the morning's laundry.

A pleasant breeze was blowing and the white sheets were fluttering as we walked out onto the patio.

The sky is blue and the sun is shining.

Letty and I work together to pull the sheets of the bed down from the pole.

I smell the sun!

Letty says innocently as she smells the sheets.

The sheets smelled soft in the sunlight.

The knowledge that this smell is the one released by dead insects such as ticks flashed in my mind, but I decided not to worry about it.

They say it's not good for human beings to worry too much about details.

'Sleep on sheets that smell of the sun and you'll sleep well.

'You really do nothing but sleep, big brother. Don't you have anything else to do?

'That's not a good way to put it, Letty. I have chosen sleep as one of my many activities. It's not because I have nothing else to do, okay?

Yes, it is important to choose sleep among many options.

It is a very different feeling to have nothing else to do than to decide what to do when you have a choice.

'...... Really?

Letty, however, looks at me with suspicion.

It is true that the civilization of this world is behind that of the previous one, but there are still some leisure games. But I still choose to sleep.

So I am not a man of leisure.

If you have extra time, why don't you do some cooking? Dad was lamenting the fact that you have a good cooking streak, but you don't train very well.'

I think my father is trying to make me an innkeeper's cook.

I have some cooking experience from my previous life as a single cook, so I have a general knowledge of cooking, but not nearly as much as a cook like my father.

Besides, I would rather work as an employee and have time to relax and take a break than to be busy in the kitchen.

So, to be honest, I don't really want to be a chef.

But sometimes it's not a bad idea to try to recreate the dishes of your past life.

I can't be a perfect cook, but I can contribute in that way.

Well, I'll give it a try sometime.

'When you do, make me something delicious to eat!

She is a very naughty little sister.
