Chapter 123
123 . Gallery Café
A few days after the nightmare during the demon subjugation incident .
I went to Count-sama to apologize and thanked him . Then Iris-sama and Beatrice-chan turned me into their dress-up doll using my weaknesses as a threat, I was angry at Alexis-sama that he didn’t save me… tte, that I don’t care!
Captain-san seemed to have considered to use explosive rounds . It’s a normal 7 . 62mm but with explosives added to the bullet tip . But it seems the result was it would have little to no real effect, only lowering penetration power and increasing budget .
Well, if it was considerable effective, it would be more popular . Don’t be impatient, Captain-san .
And I moved to another plan to change my state of mind .
That’s right, the creation of a business partner for [Colette Sculpture] and submitting its business notification .
The place is the home country of the individual that I talked to on the night after the [Second Other World Conference], a . k . a [Isecon 2] . A certain country gave me nationality and exempted me from tax and military service . I have already reached out to a real estate agent, and the store has been prepared .
(Note: Isecon = Isekai Conference . Japs tend to shorten everything)
The Employees Recruitment ads were already posted, and today was the job interview day .
Well, I didn’t even think that I would be a job interviewer without having job hunting experience myself… tte, come to think of it, I did an interview for the servants at the territory residence .
But that’s a story in the other world where the system and recruiting standards are completely different from the Earth . On the Earth, the rights of the employees are fairly important . So, if I were to hire a weird person, I can’t easily to have them to be fired . I have to go carefully…
The recruitment conditions I issued were like this:
Gallery Café employee recruitment .
1 Manager and 1 Cook . No experience required . Live in the store are permitted . Weekly wage of $620, plus 10% of net profit of the Café .
1 Waitress . No experience required . Weekly wage of $420, plus 10% of net profit of the Café .
Two days of full-day break per week, social insurance, and labor insurance are guaranteed .
Working hours: 10 . 00 – 18 . 00 . Lunch are provided .
A store manager’s wage is about 300K yen per month in Japan, and the waitress is about 200K yen on average . Plus, commission . As expected, I can’t include the sales profit of the gallery, but they got to earn a part of the profit from the café . This will get them motivated . I didn’t intend to recruit too much, but there seems to be a lot of applications .
At some point at the stages of application, a department of the country seemed to conduct a thorough investigation, and a considerable number of people were dropped at that stage . And it seems that [the one with problematic background] has been completely eliminated .
Eh? [The conditions are too good, so weirdos might be mixed together]? [The conditions are not something that needs to be improved . Please think about the market price!]? My apologies…
Anyway, I interviewed the applicants who had successfully cleared the scary preliminary survey .
“……” (Mitsuha)
“……” (Applicant)
What is this child doing here?
I looked at the job recruitment poster again, there’s no minimum age specified .
“Ano~, Rudincha… . -san, how old are you?” (Mitsuha)
“Yes, I’m 13!” (Rudinchan)
“Wh-why do you apply for this store?” (Mitsuha)
“Yes, there was no age restriction in the recruitment poster!” (Rudinchan)
Oh… Right, I forgot to write it… .

Or rather, where did you read it?! I posted it on job seeker site for maids or something!!
I dropped my shoulders .
“… Ano, am I rejected?” (Rudinchan)
No no, this is part of the job, for me and for Rudinchan too . I’ll have to be formal here…
“You are aiming for the store manager or the waitress . What about your cooking ability?” (Mitsuha)
“Average… but I’m good at calculations” (Rudinchan)
The interview proceeded in a straightforward manner and the interview for all applicants were completed . As expected, they were all over 16 years old except the first one .
Aside from the waitress, the store manager position isn’t gender restrictive . But I kind of unwilling to hire the male applicant who came today .
Only the one who has shady background were eliminated in the preliminary stage . But their personality or qualification for the job didn’t mattered . So, there are still some applicants that I can’t even use .
And the male applicants seem to be thinking that I’m a child, and some of them are up to no good…
Because, every time I asked them if they have any question, most of them asked about my parents, or my family situations . The interviewer here Is me!!
After all, it would be easy to embezzle the store money from a rich girl who lives off the money of their parents, or maybe they’re thinking of getting into my parents using me as a steppingstone .
In that regard, there are relatively few female applicants of that type… but there were still some… So, I decided to choose a female manager . That would be easier for me too .
I thought about restricting the recruitment to only females from the beginning . At least I was not going to bring gender discrimination into this . But the result was this . I have to protect the work environment for the waitress, it will be terrible if power harassment or sexual harassment were happened in the store .
For the time being, let’s choose the manager candidate . After examining the documents and interview results…

“This is bad . Rudinchan is the best candidate…” (Mitsuha)
Actually, I was doing another big job alongside the gallery café preparation .
“My apologies, please take care of me” (Mitsuha)
“Oh, Please welcome! All the people who are present in this base also glad to have you!” (Diplomat Uncle)
A diplomat uncle from the [Isecon 2] invited me to an air base in a certain country . This is a different country from the one that the gallery café is in . It’s not good for the balance if I were to concentrate my requests on one country . Widespread and shallow, but absolute .
(Note: “Hiroku Asaku, ga Tessoku da” . I searched whether if it’s a proverb, but still got no clue)
And I received VIP treatment from the head of this base . I wonder if it’s base commander of air force commander…
I don’t know if it’s the Army, Navy or Air Force . Each one of them has airplanes after all… .
For the time being, I passed through a public room, had tea and sweets served, and had a good chat . Well, I have to consider your position and circumstances, so I will go along with what has been arranged . Anyway, it’s just as a social order…
It seems that they will guide me to tour the base .
Is it an appeal to your country’s power, or just for friendship purpose?
Something like air base tour… Well, I love it though!!!
Okay, this is a rare opportunity . I’ll make sure to observe everything firmly!!!
I figured out while looking around that this is the Air Force Base .

Well, I don’t think the air squad of the Army would be able to comply with my request this time . But there was a possibility for the Navy . Long-haul ocean flights are specialty of the Navy after all .
But if the Navy took on this job, would the Air Force be losing its face? It would be this country’s first feat on the other world after all .
At the end of the tour, I was taken to the apron at the side of the runway . Apron is a place where aircraft are parked for crews and passengers getting on and off, loading and unloading cargo, and refueling . And there’s an aircraft parked there .
A large aircraft specialized in long-distance flight .
A big commercial aircraft capable to fly 15 . 000 km or about 8 . 100 miles, but there’s no way I can charter such an aircraft with crew provided . Besides, there are security concern . So, I asked for a plane that can fly long distance, that is secure and can be used free of charge .
Looks like, they provided me with an air tanker . Under the condition of [One with sufficient flight range] , of course I told them the approximate distance, but this one seems to have met the conditions .
Also, there is no way using something like huge strategic bomber would be appropriate . Maybe the fuel in the refueling tank can be used to extend the flight distance . They usually designed it that way, right?
Apparently, the aircraft is ready .
And I went to the toilet first before getting changed into the flight suit .
No, they do have lavatories on board, and no flight suit were required . But I don’t want to use the on-board lavatory too much . Also, I finally get to board a military aircraft, I also want to try to wear a flight suit as well . Naturally!!
Alright, everything has been prepared, let’s depart!!
… tte, the diplomat uncle is coming along?
Eh, these guys appeared out of nowhere, who are they?
Oh, you don’t want to miss this opportunity?
So, that was the case, with a bunch of scholars tagging along, let’s depart!!
(Note: wow, from shop preparation to aircraft preparation, she strayed too far from the title this time lol)
