“So it’s attached to the park’s management facilities huh.”
“Yes. We are building a temporary building here and use it as a first-aid facility and information desk for lost children.”
“I see. It’s indeed common for people to get lost at festivals.”
The chairman of the executive committee guided us to the park’s management facilities. The sound of making the temporary building can be heard as well.
“Well, first of all, you guys need to carry the luggage and build a temporary booth here.”
“Understood. Leave it to us.”
“Ouch!, ouch! Stop hitting!”
The swordsman slapped the back of the woman who’s still a bit hurt from his Cobra Twist. She turned to the swordsman, who is now walking towards the luggage, and muttered “Muscle brain!” to herself. She spoke so softly that the swordsman didn’t hear it.
After a short look, I then concentrated on the task. It’s time to carry the luggage. They make it every year, and the necessary items are brought from the warehouse of the management facility.
“Oh, the cat-eared little girl is amazing!”
“Hehe! Shiro is strong!”
This is where Shiro comes into play. She swiftly carries over lots of woods and other necessary items.
“Hey, hold this down.”
“Okay!”
Everyone worked hard and the booth was completed in no time. There are also stakes in the ground, so it’s stable. There, we added cot beds and desk, placing them side by side.
“Phew, this should be okay for now.”
“I’ll clean it up with life magic.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Sue cleans the beds and desk with life magic.
Since these things are left for a long time in the warehouse, it was a little dirty with dust.
I tried to move on to the next job after we cleaned the booth, but then someone gets injured.
“Gyaa!”
Thud!
“Hahaha, you’re still as clumsy as ever. Come on, I’ll heal you.”
“To be treated by a guy who said that injuries would heal if he spat on them…. Ugh, what a humiliation!”
The staff member tripped out of nowhere and the swordsman treated her while laughing.
Actually, these two seem to get along really well.
The next step is to install a signboard, but the letters have become faint because it has been used for many years.
“Oh, Sister Sue is so good!”
“R-really?”
“Yes, it’s pretty impressive. With this, it’ll be clearly visible from far away.”
Sue is repainting and rewriting the signboard. Her handwriting is beautiful, so everyone praises her.
After the paint has dried, the sign is installed in the temporary booth. For the time being, the site setup is now complete.
Next, we are making trash cans. But as we are doing this, we are approached by a certain person.
“Hi guys.”
“Oh, Mom.”
“Auntie, it’s been a long time.”
“It’s been a while.”
“Oh my, everyone’s helping out this year huh. That’ll be a big help.”
From the management facility next door, a person who looked like a typical aunt came out and greeted us. Apparently, she is the mother of the staff member, and she knows all the three other women.
“I’m making staff meals, but I don’t have enough hands. Can someone help?”
“““Erm…”””
Everyone turned their heads away except me and Ao. Especially the staff member and the three women who came with us are doing their best not to look at the auntie.
Is their cooking really that bad?
“Then I’ll help you with Ao.”
“Shun-oniichan’s cooking is delicious!”
“Really? Well, I’m sorry about this, but I really need your help. Please follow me. And you four, come with me too! You better learn how to cook or you won’t find a husband!”
““““Okay….””””
While admonishing the four of them, including her daughter, the aunt took me and Ao to the next management facility.
The four women had a bad look on their faces though.
“I’ve brought someone who can cook.”
“Huh? What’s the matter with the four of you?”
“They are trying to refuse with all their might. I’m really worried about their future.”
“Hahaha, I can’t deny that.”
The four of them were criticized by the chairman but they didn’t care about it and started cooking. It looks like we will be making yakisoba. I don’t want the smell to linger, so I think I should do it outside.
“Excuse me, should I do it outside?”
“Yes, I’ll leave it to you.”
So, I borrowed a table and started cooking. I cut vegetables and meat with Ao, and in the meantime, I warm up the griddle on the magic stove.
While stir-frying vegetables and meat, the noodles are also loosened. Then, I sprinkle the sauce in the jar and fry it all at once.
Mmm, it smells good.
“Oh, you’ve got some good skills, bro.”
“I think you can go as a chef.”
Caught by the good smell, people gathered one after another.
Sue, Shiro and Ao serve the finished fried noodles on a plate.
“It’s hot but it’s delicious.”
“The vegetables are crispy.”
“The noodles are chewy too.”
Everyone is hungry and they were eating voraciously.
I’m glad they gave it a high rating.
I’ll be honest, I’ve worked part-time in a shopping center food court before. Even though the vegetables and noodles are different to those in my original world, the basic method of preparation is the same.
“Shun-oniichan’s cooking is always delicious.”
“That’s true. Shun-san’s cooking is really impressive.”
Shiro and Sue are munching on their meal as usual and Ao is also gobbling down the meal.
However, there is one corner that is a little worrisome.
““““……””””
The three female adventurers and the staff member had finished off a large portion of yakisoba in one go, and were silently staring at their empty plates.
“Uhm, what’s wrong? Did it taste bad?”
“No, it wasn’t.”
I don’t understand why they went silent though.
Suddenly, the four of them turned to me.
“Hey, Nii-chan.”
“What is it?”
““““Pleae become my husband!””””
“Huh?”
I wondered what they would say, but then they suddenly got serious and asked me to become their husband.
What the heck are they talking about!?
“You guys, get your acts together!”
Slap, slap, slap, slap.
““““Buu…””””
“Oh, that sounded good.”
At this point, the wife of the executive committee chairman slaps the four of them on the back of their head without hesitation.
Well, it sounded really good….
“I mean, he gets to cook delicious food every day.”
“He’s attentive and kind.”
“He is an excellent candidate, right?”
“He cooks delicious food.”
“Then you girls should cook a good meal!”
““““It’s impossible.””””
“You girls are really……”
The aunt looked at the four women, including her daughter, with stunned eyes, wondering how bad they could cook.
