After getting in front of the cafe, Elena saw that it was temporarily closed. It looked like after Elena, a lot of new customers had came here and even the extra ingrediants brought by the husband was not enough to satisfy all of them.

Elena knocked on the closed door and after waiting for some time, Ayase opened the door and smiled with relief after seeing that it was Elena. Then she quickly welcomed her in. Her husband was back and the person who had helped them get a shop here was also there. He was a family friend and was planning to join the family in the negotiation with Elena.

Ayase was a bit worried that Elena would be displeased about this sudden addition. According to her, Elena was a very kind lady and they did not need to worry about her deceiving them.

But her husband was very suspicious about her especially after learning that Elena was a Gourmet Tycoon. He had a hard time believing that a Gourmet Tycoon like her would be interested in their insignificant cafe selling sweets.

After Ayase took Elena to a back room, Elena saw the family friend that Ayase was talking about and was very surprised. That was because the family friend in question was someone that she was familiar with.

It was none other than the person who had helped her out in the ramen shop to cut the line. Seeing Elena, he smiled and waved at her. From the sparkle in his eyes, it was clear that he was a big fan of Elena.

As Elena sat down, little Rema came to sit beside her. She liked this new big sister / aunt of hers a lot. Even after seeing this heartwarming scene, the face of the other man present in the room was stern. He looked at Elena with very piercing eyes, as if trying to see through what she was trying to hide.

Elena did not mind the look and started to calmly talk with Rema while drinking some hot milkshake created by Ayase. Seeing that he was getting completely ignored, the husband, whose name was Omana, coughed lightly to get everyone's attention.

"Hello young Gourmet Tycoon, Miss Elena. I'm Omana Katsunami, a humble merchant. We are extremely grateful for the kind offer that miss had made but before accepting anything, I would like to take a look at the numbers that miss have in mind."

In reply, Elena did not give him any concrete numbers. Instead she said -

"Unfortunately, I do not have any numbers ready in my mind and was planning to discuss that with all of you. I do not like to beat around the bush and argue about numbers too much. So please feel free to tell me the exact offer you want. Tell me the amount of money you need to open a larger cafe and to get more staffs, ingrediants and furnitures."

Seeing that the ball was back to his court again, Omana's face turned more serious and even sweats could be seen on his forehead. It looked as if he was having a tough mental battle with a particularly tough opponent.

But on the other hand, Elena looked completely relaxed. After telling Omana this, she started to laugh and talk with little Rema again. Noticing the constricted expression on his friend's face, Emil, who had already introduced himself patted him lightly on his back.

Feeling reassured by this, Omana started to quickly do some calculations. Emil was also helping him out in this matter. To even give a likely estimate, they needed to properly consider all the essential points and needed to make a lot of calculations.

While both of the men were busy with this work, the three females were having a good time talking with one another. Elena had always been a very good talker and the ladies soon got absorbed into Elena's story about how she had taken a princess as a student once and had helped her in becoming an assassin. The little and big girls both were amazed and excited to know that Elena was an ascender from the mortal world.

...

After about two hours, the men were all finally done with all the calculations. Emil was actually feeling very regretful. The bits and pieces of the story that he had heard in between his work was super interesting. So he wanted to learn more. But unfortunately, he did not have the chance to do so while assisting his friend.

As the two men called out to the ladies, the mother and daughter pair looked at them with irritation. In their mind, they thought that these two workaholic brutes should have waited for a little bit longer even if they were done with their work. They interrupted a very exciting part of the story.

Omana did not pay any attention to his disgruntled wife and daughter and handed Elena a sheet of paper. Elena checked the paper and found that all the calculations were perfectly written there. Omana and Emil were very thorough and they had even mentioned the subjects where the money would be needed.

Elena was really impressed by this. She was planning to act like a young mistress who did not care about money but after seeing how seriously these two men had worked, she decided to take this matter a little bit more seriously too.

After checking all the calculations with a glance, Elena found the final number to be very underwhelming. It was way below her expections. The reason for that was simple. Omana had tried to use only the cheapest possible solution for everything and his plans for the new cafe was not very grand. Even though he had worked very hard on making this, Elena decided to change it quite a bit.

So she also took out a paper and started to write quickly on it. In just a few seconds, she was done. Then she handed that sheet of paper to the two men. They quickly started to read it and were surprised. Emil was still able to quickly control himself as he himself was a decently wealthy person and the amount of sum written on the paper was not beyond his imagination.

But that was not the case for Omana as the sum turned out to be astronomical for someone like him who had just recently managed to make a decent sum of money. Just as he was about to say something to Elena with a horrified look on his face, Elena dropped a heavy bag filled with money on the table. Then without giving Omana any chance to refuse, she started speaking.

"For the time being, use this initial fund of 1 million R to start the initial plans. You can find a new place to rent or could just use this location and just decorate the cafe a bit more. I will leave that decision to your hand. As for my benifit from all this, when you all would start making a lot of money, I will take 15 percent of the profit. So work hard so that I can make my money back. Fufu."

Hearing Elena's declaration, before Omana could say something, Ayase spoke up.

"Miss Elena, please believe in me and leave it to me. I promise that I will do my best to make sure you will never regret trusting me."

"I will also help mama."

Hearing the determined declaration from both mother and daughter, Elena smiled gently and gave both of them a hug. Then she told some encouraging words to everyone and left the little cafe. Her next destination was an eatery named "Silverwing Leap" where the most famous king of Flavours was. Actually it was a Queen of Flavours who was there and Elena could not wait to meet her.
