Chapter 310: Sweet Fluffy Bread

I poked the [Net Super] screen and loaded the soaps and shampoos into the cart. I needed to do this anyway, so they might as well know how I got my supplies.

These soaps and shampoos are meant for everyone.

I have checked the servant’s quarters and found that all three were equipped with a small bath. Considering the luxurious mansion, I think it would be good for the employees to be clean too.

Moreover, baths are a nice way to unwind at the end of the day so I want to encourage the practice of taking baths in my… employees too.

Not to mention, it would look really weird to have dirty people in a clean house. Even if I can’t have cute looking eye candy around, I can at least not pollute my eyes with dirty savages…

Grrowlll…..

[6] This is…?

One of the girls from the Tony family, Celia was blushing and clutching at her belly. The longer I looked at her, the deeper she blushed.

Ah, the children should be hungry by now.

Since we’re still in the demonstration and explanation stage, I, as the employer, should feed my people. [6] There’s nothing more awful than being in a conference or seminar where there’s no food after all.

Let’s see, it will be too troublesome to get anything too weird for now, so… let’s get some bread. Sweet fluffy buns should be fine. [6] Kids love sweet things, after all, right?

Should I get some orange juice too?

Let’s go for it.

After pressing the checkout button, a cardboard box suddenly shimmered into existence in front of me. Surprised voices could be heard as [5] I opened the box and took out its contents.

“I’m sure everyone’s a little hungry, so please have a little snack while I continue with the explanation,” I said as I handed out the buns in their transparent plastic packages.

Then, I opened up the 1.5-litre bottle of orange juice and took out 14 glasses from my [Item Box].

“Help yourself to the drinks too,”

As soon as I said this, Aiya-san, whose service industry soul was awakened, came up and skilfully poured out the glasses of orange juice and handed them out [5].

Aiya-san is far from the peak of health but it did not look like she has any trouble moving or working. [1] Still, I should think of ways to supplement her health somehow so that she could continue to work well for me.

Once everyone got their juice and buns, I resumed my explanation.

“As you can see, this is how I order food from the other world. Anyway, what I’d like you to do for me is-” I stopped my explanation.

That’s because everyone was just holding their buns and not eating them.

Why…

“Oh, right! You need to remove this part,” I picked up a sweet bun I had purchased for myself and demonstrated how to remove the plastic covering. [6] Should I be glad that no one tried to eat the plastic bag?

Fer’s snout suddenly nudged at me, “Nuuu, is that sweet bread? Unfair! Why are you the only person eating? Give me some,”

““Unfair!! Me too!””

““Sui wants some sweet bread too~~””

[5] I sighed, “These are just snacks for now, alright? I’ll make a proper meal later so eat these and be quiet for now,”

I ordered a huge batch of sweet bread and began removing them from plastic bags into plates. [6] The conscientious Aiya and Teresa helped me.

Finally, after quieting down my familiars with a small mountain of sweet bread, I turned to everyone else… who were still holding their bread instead of eating them.

“Ah, apologies for keeping everyone waiting. Since you haven’t eaten yet, you should eat while I explain.”

Lotte, the youngest, finally could not contain her hunger and curiosity anymore, opened the bag and bit into the bread.

“Delicious–! This is so, so, fluffy and sweet~~!” [5]

[5] Encouraged by this reaction, everyone started to eat their share of the bread as well.

Soon, cries of ‘delicious’, ‘sweet’ and ‘soft’ was heard in the living room. [1] Celia, whose belly had growled so cutely earlier was enjoying her bread.

Everyone seemed to like the orange juice too.

…well, I don’t think I’d be able to get anyone’s attention now.

I had better just have my red bean bun and my canned coffee while the others are busy being amazed by the other world food. [5]

While I was pondering over this, I felt someone tugging my trousers. [2] I looked down to see Lotte blinking large eyes at me. “Um, Lotte wants more fluffy sweet bread, uncle.”

Alban and Teresa hurried forward with pale faces.

“Lotte, behave! Please accept my apologies.”

“Sorry, sorry. Lotte, you say sorry too!”

“Oh, no, no, don’t worry about it. Just… Lotte-chan, could you call me elder brother instead of uncle?

I’m almost 30, not 30 yet, okay? If someone keeps calling me uncle, my soul will suffer irreparable damage, okay?

I must put a stop to this right away.

“Un, okay. Brother Mukouda, Lotte wants more fluffy sweet bread!”

Ah, it looks like children are the fastest to adapt to any situation.

“Hmm, I can give you some but I’ll be cooking a proper meal soon. If you eat the bread now, you can’t eat the meal later. Are you alright with that? Lunch will be something delicious, you know?”

“Something, delicious?”

“That’s right”

“Okay, Lotte will wait!” [5]

Umu, children are the most obedient.

[6] They are more adorable than my familiars at least.

[6] Finally, after everyone had eaten their buns and drank their orange juice, I was able to explain the work of removing the other world wrappings off the soaps and packing them into wooden crates as well as the work of transferring shampoo and hair treatment into jars.

[6] That’s it for the instructions for the commoner family.

As for the former Adventurers.

“[5] Tabasa-sa- ahem, Tabasa, Luke, Irvine, Peter and Bartel. Your job is to guard this mansion. As mentioned, [5] I’m the supplier of these soaps and shampoos. Eventually, people are going to trace the source to me from Lambert’s and might come and try something funny.” [5]

“Hmm, I do believe that’s the Stars Company…”

“I’ve heard some things about them, nothing good though…”

[9] Lambert-san never mentioned the name of the company targeting my products but it looked like this company’s reputation of pulling crazy moves without hesitation had even spread to the local Adventurers.

“As an Adventurer, I won’t be around very often. So, I’ll depend on the five of you to guard this place and make sure everyone’s safe.” [5]

“Understood, I’ll do my best,” somehow Tabasa became the one to lead the call while the others echoed her voice.

“For the Tony and Alban families, do immediately ask me or these five for help if you encounter any issue. [4] Especially when it comes to errands or jobs outside the mansion. Do get at least one of the five guards to escort you whenever you go out.”

I wonder if there is a place where my people could evacuate to if anything bad happens. [1] I should probably speak to Lambert-san or the Adventurer’s Guild later.

For now, let’s guide the servants to their separate living quarters.

Sorry, Lotte-chan. The promised delicious meal will have to come after this.
