Chapter 11 Opening a Shop
"Lord Shichen, breakfast is ready. Come and have a taste."
Seeing that the time had come, Thor happily spun around, then faced the breakfast she had prepared with him, full of anticipation.
"...What is this?" Shi Chen looked at the contents of the plate, a forced smile on his face, and asked dryly.
A piece of meat lay quietly on the plate, its shape resembling a large piece of meat from a comic book, except that the bone in the middle was missing.
It has a bright color and a glossy sheen, making it look very appetizing... what a joke!
"This is my tail meat! Pan-fried dragon tail meat!" Thor replied proudly.
"..."
Shichen glanced behind Thor and noticed that her thick, green tail was gone.
She actually cut off her own tail to make him breakfast!
Shi Chen opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Only by facing this kind of thing personally did he understand how speechless he was.
If it were an ordinary dragon, unable to speak or transform, and just a wild beast, Shi Chen might want to taste dragon meat.
But it was Thor's own tail, and he really didn't have that idea.
Drinking dragon milk is still a possibility.
"Lord Shichen, don't you like it?" Thor noticed Shichen's unspeakable expression.
"...Do you think I can stomach it?" Shi Chen asked back.
"Is there a problem? It's delicious, especially with white rice."
"My body can't handle it..." Shi Chen couldn't help but press his forehead.
Thor needs to gain a deeper understanding of common human knowledge.
"Physiologically unable to accept it?" Thor tilted his head, puzzled. "Is Lord Shichen a picky eater?"
"Are you an idiot?" Shichen took two steps forward and stood in front of Thor, then chopped her head with a chopstick in an annoyed manner.
"Ugh... Why did you hit me, Lord Shichen?"
"I'm asking you, if I cut off my own leg and gave it to you as food, would you eat it?"
"No way! I see, I understand now!" Thor exclaimed in realization.
"Sigh, it seems I'll have to teach you some basic human knowledge these next couple of days." Shi Chen sighed and shook his head.
"But isn't it a waste to waste this meat? It's very nutritious, and removing the toxins takes a lot of time."
"I don't need any more!"
"All right."
Thor turned her back to the hour, somewhat helplessly swallowing her own tail in one bite. The girl's cute little face could actually grow so big.
After she swallowed the flesh of her own tail, a magical scene unfolded: a large tail suddenly grew out from behind her.
It even swung around a couple of times with agility.
They are truly self-sufficient.
This miraculous scene did offer some solace to Shi Chen's helpless state of mind.
"I'll make breakfast."
"Eh? Please, Lord Toki, trust me one more time!"
"I'll let you make lunch."
"I understand. What would you like to eat for lunch, sir?"
"Anything normal is fine."
"Hmm..."
Shi Chen walked into the kitchen and went to the refrigerator to look for ingredients. He had checked it yesterday and found that there were quite a few expensive ingredients.
Thor had just cooked rice, and he planned to fry some steaks to eat with white rice. The meat would be better with the rice, and it would taste delicious.
"Thor, how many steaks would you like?"
"Just like Lord Shichen."
Is that enough?
"What does Lord Time take me for?" Thor asked coquettishly.
"Aren't you a dragon?"
"I am now a dragon maid!"
"Alright."
Shichen took out four bags of steaks, one steak per bag, two steaks per person would be enough.
"Lord Shichen, let me help you tie your apron." Seeing that Shichen was preparing to fry steaks, Thor took off his own apron and came behind him to help him tie it.
Time didn't refuse, so I focused on cooking the steak. This was a good steak, with marbling just like marble, so the heat had to be controlled perfectly.
Thor quickly tied Shichen's apron, but smelling his unique scent, she couldn't resist hugging him from behind.
"Hehe~ Lord Shichen smells so good."
"Are you a pervert?" Feeling the softness coming from behind, Shi Chen didn't struggle.
Thor is still quite tall, almost 1.8 meters. In the previous time, he was even shorter than her.
"I'm not a pervert! I just need to replenish Lord Time's energy," Thor retorted, pressing his face against Time's back.
Her warm breath seeped through his clothes and landed on Shichen's skin, making him feel ticklish.
"Replenishing energy? If that's the case, then you'd better get to work later."
"No problem! As long as Lord Shichen lets me hold him a little longer."
"what ever."
A hug doesn't stop him from frying steak; it's definitely not because he can't bear to part with the feeling behind him.
Thor didn't hold him for long, because Shichen quickly cut the steak.
Steak with rice is indeed delicious. The meat juices sprinkled on the distinct grains of rice combine the aroma of meat and rice, making one's mouth water.
Shichen and Thor each ate two large bowls of rice, but they were still not satisfied.
Indeed, high-end ingredients often require only the simplest cooking methods.
After breakfast, Thor was in charge of cleaning up the kitchen, while Shichen prepared to open the shop.
The shop opens at 10 a.m., since nobody drinks coffee so early in the morning; they're probably addicted to coffee.
This coffee shop also comes with its own menu, which includes several types of coffee that he brews by hand, as well as desserts and main dishes.
Calling it a coffee shop is an understatement; it's more like a combination of a coffee shop and a restaurant. No wonder there are so many ingredients in the refrigerator.
Fortunately, they are all skilled at using the time of birth, even though it's a free perk and privilege.
Once everything was prepared, the business sign outside the door was hung up, and the shop officially opened.
It was his first time opening a shop, and he was inexplicably a little nervous, but after half an hour, he realized that he had been nervous for nothing.
No one came during that time!
He even prepared biscuits and desserts, and the shop was already filled with a wonderful aroma. He even brewed himself and Thor a cup of coffee to test their skills.
Doesn't this store have any special charm to attract customers?
It's not necessary for guests to come at any time. There's plenty of money in the treasury, enough for the time being. It can be used to decorate the study or the game room, as long as Kasumigaoka Utaha comes.
But since it's just opened, shouldn't we at least have one or two customers to show our appreciation?
As the saying goes, perseverance pays off. Around 11 a.m., someone finally opened the shop door. It was a man and a woman who looked like a college student couple.
"There aren't many customers," the man muttered to himself.
"Isn't it nice to be quiet? Besides, I feel the environment is quite nice, it makes me feel inexplicably at ease." The woman expressed her satisfaction.
"Alright, if you like it... then fine."
"Welcome! What would you like to order?"
Just then, Thor stepped forward to greet the guest, leaving the man speechless with wide eyes.
After all, she's a maid, a dragon maid, a cosplay girl, and a blonde beauty. With so many factors, how could a normal man remain calm?
"What are you looking at?!" the woman asked in a harsh low voice, grabbing the man's weak spot.
"Hiss—there's nothing there!" The headache brought the man back to his senses, and he quickly looked away.
"Hehe~ Do you have a double seat?" The woman immediately changed her expression and asked Thor with a smile.
"Yes, please follow me this way." Thor turned and led the way, his large tail on his back particularly eye-catching, but neither of them showed any strange expressions.
In this era, strange clothes or bizarre shapes have long been accepted by the public, and no one doubts that they are real.
Thor soon came over to report what the two had ordered. They hadn't come for coffee, but for lunch, or perhaps they changed their minds after seeing the menu.
Shichen went to prepare the food, while Thor stayed at the cashier to watch the shop.
The atmosphere in the store is indeed nice. Although it's not big, the quiet and elegant decor and the calming atmosphere make you reluctant to leave once you sit down.
The woman was very satisfied with the store's environment and even sent a message to her best friend to share the place. The key information was that the store manager was a super handsome man.
The man was also very satisfied with his girlfriend's choice, and kept glancing at Thor out of the corner of his eye, guessing that he might come here alone in the future.
The two had their own thoughts.
After Shichen finished preparing the food for the two people, he had only been sitting down for a few minutes when another customer arrived, and he immediately began to busy himself.
Some people come specifically for coffee, while others change their minds about what to eat after seeing the menu.
The food was delicious, the environment was great, and there were even maids and handsome men, which made the guests fall in love with the place immediately.
Looking at the satisfied expressions on the guests' faces as they left, Shi Chen knew they really liked the place and would probably be busy from now on.
That won't do. It's fine for him, the store manager, to be the head chef when the store is first opened, but how can the store manager be the head chef all the time?
The store manager's job is to be a hands-off manager, and he felt it was necessary to let Thor take on a bigger responsibility.
It was very busy at noon, but the afternoon was much more relaxed. Although a lot of people came, they were all just there to have coffee and relax.
As evening approached, Kasumigaoka Utaha, whom Shichin had been longing for, finally arrived.
