CH 220

After successfully creating sparkling wine and carbonated juice in this world, I decided it was time for me to hold a welcome party for our new employees. Aside from the people working in our shop, I also wanted to invite Sarasa, Margo, Elsa and Juno. I also made sure to invite Bavarian-sama, who always told me time and time to call him whenever I made something new or cooked delicious things.

People always said ‘food grudge’ was a horrifying thing after all. If Bavarian-sama found out I had been keeping such a groundbreakingly delicious thing like carbonated water a secret from him, I couldn’t even dare to imagine what kind of thing he would say to me afterward.

Tanya, the girl who had collapsed in front of the shop before, was now completely recovered. She was living together with us while helping out at the shop. When she stood alongside Ash, the two of them truly made an adorable and heartwarming sight. 

It was against my upright conscience to drive Tanya out when she had nowhere else to go. Yurina-san was also fond of Tanya so she wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen in the first place. If we couldn’t afford to have her living with us, of course we had to prioritize our own lives but fortunately, we made more than enough to keep the shop running while still having enough to sustain our daily life. 

If we have the means to help then, we should lend a hand. 

And so, Yurina-san and I agreed to take care of Tanya until she could become independent. 

Yurina-san was very passionate about teaching someone. She would take time between break from the shop to teach Tanya and Maya how to sew and fight (using slingshot). 

“A woman needs to know how to defend herself!”

She said about the slingshot training. As I watched the women of this house unleash paralyzing bombs at the scarecrow and explode it near its head one after another, I couldn’t help but to feel sorry for any future thugs that dared to attack this shop. 

And what a coincidence. On the very day where I was thinking about those poor future thugs, a thug… Or rather, a yakuza-ish guy with curly hairstyle typically belonging to a delinquent, came to cause trouble at our shop. 

“Who gave you permission to open your business here?!”

He seemed to say.

“Haaah…..”

No but, we have the permission from the noble governing this town and the commercial guild as well though? 

I thought to myself while staring blankly at the yakuza-ish thug.

“Paralyzing bomb!!”

““YES!!””

SWISH! DUARRR!! THUD!!

The moment Yurina-san gave the order to attack, the women in this house shot a paralyzing bomb, spider thread bomb and iron projectile bomb in rapid succession. All of the bombs were critical hits to the face of the yakuza-ish thug.

The yakuza-ish thug collapsed onto the ground with his limbs twitching painfully.

So-So scary….

We tied the yakuza-ish thug and a short while later, Donny-san, the captain of the soldier of this town,(along with a letter from Bavarian-sama telling us that he would come to our party tonight) came to take him away . 

The women were rewarded with several silver coins for apprehending the criminal. Their excitement level practically soared to the sky. 

Oh my, oh my.

Despite such an unexpected incident, we closed the shop early because we needed to start preparing the party for welcoming our new employees which also served as a debut party to introduce our new products, carbonated juice and sparkling wine.

T/N: Won’t the thug die with the last bit? That iron projectile bomb is practically a modern day bullet right? Anyway, I can understand their excitement though. It must be exhilarating. Their adrenaline must be like SWOOOSHHH!~
