Overpower Manager

Chapter 23

After receiving an additional 10 million gold from Count Aaron and leaving the residence, an awkward atmosphere filled the minds of me and someone beside me.

"Emmm, etto ... So does Mr Kyle want to eat my bread?"

"Eh, can?"

When I asked that, Aisha looked a little head-scrunching.

"I'd be happy if you liked it. Besides, I promised to make Mr. Kyle a cook at that time."

Ah, true. If I remember again he said it before.

Then for the bread.

"Well, then I want Aisha to work in my kitchen."

"Eh?!"

By the time I said it, it would somehow make Aisha look surprised before I continued.

"Oh, of course because Aisha will continue the family business."

"But I wouldn't mind working alone in my restaurant, anyway."

And that last voice I heard from the middle-aged woman who was near us.

Madam Starla said that while smiling with a thumbs up, ignoring Aisha started to look panicked in the conversation afterwards.

"Eh, Mommy! What are you──"

"It looks like Aisha rejected it, too bad."

While I sighed in Aisha's reply, the girl's panic was now reaching a new level.

"I don't want to! But ... Being a cook for Mr. Kyle was somewhat ..."

"Oh, of course. Your cooking is pretty good, you know. Then I'm sure all the guests will love it."

I will not dispute the taste of the bread I have eaten before.

Well, even though it was only Aisha's made food that I had tried yet I felt for the other dishes the girl would definitely do well.

"So, if I could I'd like someone to help me cook."

I was in the finished sentence explaining my problem to them, either it would make someone's face flushed after I explained it.

"I-I understand. So if this can pay for your kindness, Mr. Kyle. Then I'll be your first employee."

"Stay on purpose. Saa! Let's get near Kyle and get him my daughter's heart!"

And with a little "Heheheh" Mrs Starla pushed Aisha to be in less than 1──Ugh, or maybe already 0 cm?!

"Ugh, mommy?!"

As Aisha glared sharply at the woman while puffing her cheeks, Madam Starla chuckled.

"My decision remains the same, which will bless your relationship. And then I have some business here, so I'm gonna leave my daughter to you, Kyle."

"Oh, okay."

I nodded my head, Madam Starla has already disappeared from before us after a split second.

...----------------...

"Okay, we're here."

When I intend to open the door, ugh ... I felt that someone behind me was a little hesitant to go any further.

"What's wrong?"

I asked Aisha the reason, but the girl then shook her head.

"I've only heard a few things that are less pleasant than this building."

"Oh, have you heard any strange or scary stories before?"

Well, I won't argue because this building is quite old and dusty let alone empty without previous occupants. Therefore it is not uncommon for some people to be able to consider it as something scary.

"However, ignore that. The owner of this inn had previously died before his grandson sold this inn, you know."

"So he died here, anyway?"

But speaking of this, so that was the reason why when I first met Aisha, the girl looked relieved when she heard that I was the owner of this place?

"So that's how it is, this room is yours now, and forever if you're still a worker here."

I showed you the kitchen.

Oh yes, it's time to wait for my order.

There's supposed to be a wagon and some people are already standing outside my house right now.

"Mr Kyle, huh? This is your order, please accept."

I crossed out a few things after a delivery man showed me a letter, then made some people bring in the furniture I had ordered.

Yup, everything is worth 500 thousand Gold. It's even cheaper than my armour.

By the way the bed was within the standard for a small inn like mine.

Well, but for some reason they may be durable. Then I also need to arrange them after this.

"So Aisha, can you help me after I'm done with the kitchen tour?"

"Oh, sure. But can I ask you this, Mr Kyle?"

"The Master's call is a bit too ..."

"What if Kyle?"

Well, that's better. I nodded my head at Aisha's question.

"What do you really want to ask?"

"Okay, it's about the magic stove in the kitchen. Can Kyle fill them with magic energy?"

"Magic energy?"

Wait, so it's a magic stove or what?

"Etto, guess I'm guessing they'll actually be able to work if you give up some of your energy, are you?"

"Yes, like that. But they need it in small quantities in order to last longer."

So, I just understand about it now!

So the material to light the cooking stove in this world is magic energy apparently?

"First of all Kyle close your hand to the stove then imagine like you split the energy──"

"Have, is it like this?"

When I pointed out the stove that started to glow white afterwards.

"Eh, successfully?"

"Yes, uhmmm ... They're a little draining, but I seem to be fine after that."

"Great, so you are indeed the one who has defeated the dragon king apparently."

I smiled awkwardly when Aisha suddenly talked about it. Well, since this part is already in order, I will ask him to start another stage.

"Oh, okay. Then Kyle needs to activate them, but since I'm used to this, I might be able to handle it with a little hard work."

I don't know what the word "Hard work" means because after that I'll hear Aisha like doing something on her palm.

"Close! [Fire]!"

When a speck of fire appeared on the stove, it would become a brightly lit light as they changed to an even larger shape.

I mean a fire that was very small at first can be that big just because something keeps it burning.

"ough ... It seems to work, the way that Mother taught. Magic for cooking."

"So that was whether it was some kind of flamethrower or ..."

"Yes, that's it. My mom said every cook in the world should have one. So I had to learn to use fire spells, and a little water just in case the fire gets out of hand."

"Ah, I'm starting to understand now."

After that, we will continue our business to arrange the furniture after making sure Aisha is completely familiar with the tools in the kitchen.
