CH 530

It wasn’t until a while after Makina and the others had left the open space that I realized how naive I had been.

Although the monsters’ garden had been renovated in the hope that it would be profitable, it was a so-called zoo, so it was unlikely that people who came once would come again and again. So this situation was unexpected ……

“Is this the right place to enter?”

“Oh, yes, this way! That’ll be six hundred beryls.”

“Where’s the tamer’s class!?”

“In this classroom ……”

“This is my tamer training card. It’s alright if I come in, right!?”

“Oh, yes.”

“Give me one of these wood carvings of King Beetle. I’ll take it as a souvenir.”

“Thank you, that’ll be one thousand eight hundred beryls! …… No, this is too much!?”

How did he manage to handle all these customers while teaching …… Oh, and if you look closely, you’ll see that the self-study sign has fallen down ……

This is a black facility that would have surprised me in my previous life, and there is a very good chance that Tanji-san will die of exhaustion at this rate, and I’m thinking about what I should do while handling the customers.

I was thinking that since I had worked at a convenience store in my previous life, I would have no problem doing my job while thinking, when suddenly my name was called and I turned around.

“Lars, I finally found you.”

“Oh! It’s Yogus, what’s wrong?”

“What do you mean, “what’s wrong?”. I told you to call out to me before you came back here.　I wanted to talk to you about the two [Appraisals] you mentioned.”

“Oh, yeah, I forgot about ……”

I was so preoccupied with what I was doing that I remembered that I just said goodbye to Yogus, Urka and the rest of my classmates after the fight.

“I’m sorry, I’d love to buy you a meal or something to make up for it soon …… Oh, welcome! I’m busy like this, so can we do it tomorrow?”

“Well, what’s a nobleman’s son doing here? …… No, it’s not possible when you’re an adventurer, is it? Alright, I’m interested in the monsters’ garden, too. I’ll help you until there are fewer people.”

“Really? Thank you for the help, well then–“

The sudden visitor, Yogus, joined me, and I dealt with the people leaving and the customers buying souvenirs, while Yogus took care of the reception desk. The amount of money is less than souvenirs, and Yogus can study, so I thought he would have no problem handling it.

And then–

“……”

“Nooooo! Lars!”

“Onii-chan!”

I sit up and let out a sigh as Makina and Sephiro cover me as they lie down on the reception desk and cry.

“Haah …… I’m not dead, okay? The farce is unusual for Makina.”

It was well past noon when Makina and the others came back, and we were taking a break because the number of customers had decreased considerably, but I was surprised when Makina suddenly started to do something interesting.

“I’m the one who said we should do it!”

“Ehehe, Sephiro wanted to do it, so I did it too! Anyway, are you okay? Yogus’ hands are shaking, too.”

“It’s not so bad, I’m only here to check in and give change. Well, my hands were tired because of that, though. But if I had to do it all by myself, I might go crazy ……”

“Oh, so Freeze Dragons are familiar with them, after all. Kittens are cute, right?”

Fath-san laughed and patted him on the back, and she chuckled when Jireh nodded in satisfaction. While I was thinking a little bit that he might be looking at them as food, Tanji-san came out of the classroom with his students.

“See you later, Tanji-san!”

“I’ll come again! Fufu, one day I’m going to tame the Iron Kong ……”

“Have a safe trip home! Ahhhh …… it’s been a while since I’ve had a proper class ……. Thanks for the help, Lars.”

“I’m sorry too, I didn’t expect it to be so prosperous.”

I apologize to Tanji-san, who snaps his neck and gives me a toothy grin.

“Don’t worry about it. Thanks to you, we were able to expand and get more students. I’m grateful, but I don’t hold a grudge. But at this rate, I’m going to collapse too. I’m sure it will settle down in a little while, but–“

And then, Bouden intervened with an interesting look on his face.

“I heard that this facility was built by the previous king. I used to be an adventurer, but when I heard there was a tamer facility, I came here and was put in charge of it. The previous keeper was an old man who died. There weren’t many people who were interested in monsters, though.”

“I think it’s because they were just doing it out of inertia before and didn’t advertise it. Rather than that, I think we should hire someone to help us out? Yogus and I proved that it would be different if we only had a receptionist.”

In response to my words, Tanji-san said weakly, “I wonder if there are people who will come ……”. But if it’s so prosperous, I’m sure there are people who want to work at the tamer facility.

“In the meantime, let’s just put up a sign and start recruiting. In the meantime, I can …… or not, I wonder I ask someone else?”

“Well, if it’s so busy that even Lars will go limp, then someone who’s strong, good with money, and familiar with customers.”

“It’s not that there aren’t any, but if they’re that good, they probably have another job.”

Tanji-san sighed as she scratched his head, but the dragons tilted their heads and looked at each other.

“What’s going on? Is there something on your mind?”

“What!? You know someone who are, Vince!?”

When I was surprised by the unexpected remark, Roza smiled and opened her mouth.

“Ahhhhhhh! That might be a good idea since Luciel works at a trading company and Jack has a fish shop, and Luciela is an adventurer who’s just wandering around!”

“Grandpa ……”

The Grand Dragon wanted to show off his good side, and while everyone laughed, Luciela had it all. Let’s ask her right away, shall we?

…… I mean, I’d like to get ready to go to the Berias kingdom …… I have to talk to the king too …… W-Well, it’s only been a day, so I guess it’s okay?
