Welcome. At a Convenience Store in Another World 11

Chapter 11 – Are You Really Craving Beer?

“You had a hard time. I never would have guessed that black magic was practiced next to the capital of the empire. Who knew?”

The crown prince who was sitting in the VIP room with Madame said.

His expression was soft, as if he was satisfied with the quick solution. I finished it early, though. If I had known it would be like this, would I have solved it a little more slowly?

No.

If I was lazy and was late to get to work at the convenience store, it was just a problem.

“You said the magic tower was a natural phenomenon. The investigation team we sent also said they found nothing strange. How did you find it?”

“It’s a magic circle that was deliberately hidden. It was a magic circle designed to make it impossible for wizards to even approach, and for most knights to wander through a similar space and then get out.”

It would have been impossible to find it unless the magic tower owner himself came forward.

If it were that old man, he probably wouldn’t have gone through ignorance like I did.
You must have clicked your tongue when you saw my solution.

That’s not how you solve the magic circle.

While doing it.

“You mean you’re a talented person?”

“Yes. “I don’t know who it is.”

Their drivers will do a good job of tracking down his identity, so people are telling him to stop sending them now.

Ah, I want to rest.

I want to spread out in a convenience store and get some fresh air from the air conditioner.

“Is it possible that the Magic Tower was involved?”

“10%. “At most, it’s 15%.”

“Isn’t it high?”

The question of why was reflected in the crown prince’s eyes.

A desire to use this opportunity to put pressure on the magic tower lord seemed creeping in.

“According to Luna, it is not an item from a specific school. There is no way something like this could have been done in a magic tower that values ​​schools and succession.”

“The Magic Tower is a group of people who seek knowledge. What is the possibility of combining technologies from various schools?”

“It’s slim. It’s nothing else, and there’s no way the stubborn wizards of the Magic Tower would do that. Maybe it’s an adventure wizard.”

I hit 10% because there was still a chance.

It was clearly people other than the Magic Tower.

The crown prince quietly opened his mouth.

“Can you recognize me?”

I shook my head.

It may be disobeying the Emperor’s command, but whatever. I am not a member of the imperial family.

I am self-employed in my own way. I have the right to open and close my store freely.

“I have to work too.”

“Aren’t you still working?”

“What is the job of a convenience store manager? Convenience store management. “If you leave it empty for a long time, the staff will say something.”

“What if I force you to do it?”

“Then we’ll be closed for about a week. You can just hang it on your door that it’s a strike due to the imperial family’s unreasonable demands. “Your Majesty will not be able to eat your favorite foods.”

“Are you going to threaten me?”

“Didn’t you do it first?”

Basically, it is true that we must bow to the imperial family, but I refuse to accept conditions that are too unreasonable.

Are you a citizen of the Republic of Korea before you are a citizen of the empire?

Of course, there is no consulate in Korea, and there is nothing left to protect me.

But that doesn’t mean there are no weapons.

The crown prince, who is not yet an emperor, is not in a position to always give absolute orders to me.

If the crown prince forces me to do a mission, I can just use the emperor shield.

The time for that is now.

What happens when the crown prince becomes emperor?

Well.

At that time, wouldn’t it be okay to just run out of the empire?

Opening a convenience store in a small cabin deep in the mountains and enjoying the natural scenery…

Anyway, I am also a store manager. Store manager.

I have a job and a position.

“There are a lot of talented people in the empire, so from now on, you will be able to track them without me.”

“Tsk, I can’t help it if you say that. “I can’t take another hit from my Imperial Majesty.”

“You got hit?”

Now that I think about it, my cheeks are red.

“I got hit while defending you.”

“Did you really do it?”

“Of course. Shouldn’t we keep our promises? When I heard you were successful, I immediately went to see Abama. “The result is this.”

The crown prince smiled, touching his swollen cheeks.

Only then, don’t smile with a friendly smile.

Whoop.

The crown prince drank Madame’s tea.

Although it wasn’t dew tea, it also had a luxurious scent.

“As expected, Madame’s tea tastes good.”

“This is a tea made from picked flowers that are good for wound healing.”

“Would you like to have a drink too?”

“It’s okay.”

It is unacceptable to become the crown prince’s companion after having a bad cup of tea.

The crown prince may be lonely, but he tends to keep meeting people while talking.

I heard you once drank tea and got locked up for 12 hours?

I don’t necessarily want to be with an uncomfortable boss in private for a long time.

“Then, would you like to have a little fun here?”

“No. I have to go see the store. “The shift worker is waiting.”

“If you look at it, the store manager is also a workaholic. Sometimes you have to have fun. Do you know what rumors are going around in social circles lately? “There is a rumor going around that our store manager is a eunuch.”

Why are there rumors about me?

I’m not a noble?

“My status is not that of a noble, but with influence like yours, I am no different from a noble.”

The crown prince chuckled.

“Is there something on your expression?”

“Then. “You asked with your face why your story was circulating in social circles?”

“Will Your Majesty the Crown Prince stay any longer?”

“Of course. Since we’re at Changgwan, shouldn’t we at least loosen our belts and go?”

So then there’s nothing to do anymore?

“Then I’ll go back first.”

I have to leave this uncomfortable place quickly.

“By the way, store manager.”

“Yes, Your Majesty the Crown Prince.”

Aside from bowing politely, I was anxious inside.

Because nothing good happened when this gentleman called me out like this.

What else are you trying to make me do?

“Are there so few people that the store manager has to do the work himself?”

“Sure. “There is always a manpower shortage.”

“If you want, I can put someone in.”

“Do you want to come? The hourly wage is 2 gold and 50 silver, and the night allowance is 4 gold per hour. Is that okay?”

It was a high salary for a convenience store, but this was too little money for nobles.

I wonder if nobles with high self-respect would want to look at the counter.

It’s good if you don’t come and cause trouble.

“I’m sure there are quite a few people who would want to do that.”

Take this?

“I don’t like it.”

“Wasn’t talking about hourly wages a positive thing?”

“You turned it around and rejected it?”

“Hmm. The store manager is also quite picky.”

Instead of answering, I lowered my head.

“Anyway, if you need someone, let me know. I will introduce it to you myself. You had a hard time this time. Sooner or later, I will send someone to praise this incident.”

“Okay then.”

After bowing to the crown prince, I said hello to Madame and left the VIP room.

“I will bring the young lady.”

Madame left the Changgwan after bowing her head to the Crown Prince for the last time.

***

“Then I will go~! Store manager, in this case, you have decided to give me both overtime pay and emergency pay! You must protect it!”

“Okay.”

Sylvia hummed her tune and lowered her head.
I was going to get a lot of extra pay thanks to my quick pinch hitter today, so it was natural for me to be happy.

Is that why?

Silvia was holding a frozen chicken in one hand.

She said it was today’s special treat for herself who had worked hard, and took it, shaking it in her hand.

Is he really weird too?

If it’s a special meal, buy at least one dessert and take it with you like other noble ladies.

Although her wallet situation makes it impossible to buy high-end desserts sold at specialty stores, she can at least buy simple snacks sold at convenience stores.

‘After working part-time, my taste buds have completely improved.’

I wonder if that means eating and drinking mixed coffee.

A noble lady’s mixed coffee mukbang.

It must be rare.

I focused my attention on Sylvia, who was going up to her dorm after work.

“Was there anything unusual?”

I asked Elena, who was organizing the store.

“Oh, it was nothing special. There really weren’t any guests today. I think it’s probably because of Sylvia.”

“Sylvia is strong.”

It was natural, considering that the villains who appeared occasionally were kicked out after being beaten by her.

Is that why?

There is a lot of truth especially when Elena works alone.

This also needs to be resolved somehow.

“Anyway, I’m glad nothing bad happened today. “I was worried a lot while emptying the store.”

“But the store manager came back soon.”

Elena laughed bitterly.

“You came back earlier than expected. Wasn’t it a big deal?”

“Yeah, it wasn’t a big deal.”

Even if I don’t have to do anything, I will be able to handle it on my own now.

I wonder who exactly made it.

I was curious and thought it would get more annoying, so I withdrew my foot from her.
The convenience store manager just has to take care of the convenience store.

“Thank goodness.”

At that time, a customer came in.

“Welcome! It’s a DG convenience store!”

Elena asked as she watched the customer enter the snack section.

“Manager, shall we have this for dinner?”

“Which one?”

“I bought this and that to eat yesterday… “I have quite a bit left over.”

I remembered Elena picking up food from the convenience store yesterday.

She said she lived a lot, but she stayed.

She brought out potato stick snacks, cheese, a hot bar, and even dumplings.

“There’s a lot of left?”

Elena’s face turned bright red at the words she had uttered without realizing it.

“Ho, it was too much to eat alone. It’s getting really busy right now, so I don’t have time to go out and pack food, so this is it…”

Cheese on potato stick snacks…

The menu was disappointing to just eat.

“Okay. Then, I’ll at least cook a simple dish with this.”

“Cooking… “What?”

There is an amazing convenience store combination method.

You can be confident.

Do you know convenience store Oji Cheese Fries?

Just one of these will make you want a beer, right?
