Chapter 53 – A Certain Blonde Girl

“…I caused some trouble. Sorry.”

“No, not at all! Rather, our staff have caused a great deal of inconvenience…”

“So, that means…it’s a mutual thing then?”

“No! You are not to blame!”

Afterwards.

The staff member who fell down was immediately taken to the back.

Right now, the Jet-black is receiving a prompt response from someone who seems to be the manager.

“I-Is that so?”

“Of course! I’m terribly sorry… It was entirely my fault as I wasn’t feeling well for a bit. I sincerely apologize.”

“O-Oh… Okay then.”

Then I’ll take your word for it…

The staff clearly had an attitude of knowing about the ‘taking down a bridge’ incident.

The man had thought ‘fright’ and ‘fear’ caused the staff to collapse, but if the manager says this, the man thought it’d be better to accept it.

As expected of a high-class establishment, you can sense that they care about not blaming the customers, but that’s what makes it difficult to deal with.

“Umm, then I’d like you to let me do some shopping… For now, I’d like 3… No, 5 of the most popular sweets in this shop.”

“Yes, sir! I will show you to another room at the back, where you can make yourself comfortable. As soon as we have finished packing the goods, we will bring them to you!”

“Ah, there’s no problem waiting here either——”

“——Plea-please take advantage of the room!”

“O-Okay…”

Honestly, the man wanted to get it over with, but from the way the manager was so desperate that their words overlapped, he thought it was the shop’s manual…

As expected in a high-class establishment… The man was convinced, so he had no choice but to comply.

“Then please come this way.”

“Ah, yeah…”

It’s annoying to be treated so respectfully.

The man regretted his decision to come here, but he wanted the people to be happy with the food he brought them. He persevered and followed the manager for a few dozen seconds.

“This is the room.”

A steel door with a floral pattern is opened.

“It, it’s very elaborate…”

“Thank you for your compliments.”

Looking inside, the man could see expensive-looking curtains, an expensive-looking glass table, expensive-looking black sofa, and expensive-looking paintings. And a carpet.

He was introduced to a separate room that is made for ‘VIP’.

“Then we’ll take you inside.”

“Yeah…”

Although I accepted it earlier because it’s a high-end establishment, I can’t help but feel that they’re selective about their customers… It doesn’t seem like they do this for every guest, considering the number of rooms.

The man doesn’t want to go into a room where he’s going to be exhausted just by spending time there, but now that he’s been escorted here, he can’t back out…

As an adult, he can’t afford to appear pathetic.

In order to make it seem like “I belong in this room,” the man confidently took a seat on the sofa.

“Would you like some drinks or snacks?”

“…No, don’t worry about it…”

The man can’t swallow in this situation.

What’s more, his suit of armor, which makes others can’t see him, is a great tranquiliser. It can’t be taken off so easily.

“So, instead of that… Miss Manager.”

“Yes!”

“One thing I’d like to ask you… Were you sure you wanted me to come into this room? I think this is the kind of place where regulars go in, yeah…”

Setting a precedent of having a first time guest in this room is problematic, isn’t it…

It’s all the manager’s decision, but from the perspective of the customers who frequent this establishment and who have paid money to be allowed in this room, it’s not a very pleasant treatment at all.

Customers who have spent a lot of money in this shop will naturally complain.

In the first place, I’m not a regular, I was the one who brought down one of the staff…

He’s not in a position to be entertained, he’s the one who has caused trouble.

The manager shook her head in a tentative manner.

“As you say, this one room is for the hospitality of our customers, but I have just received a message from the head of the commercial organization to all the shops belonging to it.”

“A message from the head of the commercial organization?”

“Yes. When Sir Jet-black visits, he asks us to provide the utmost hospitality.”

“Huh?”

The man had no idea why such a message was sent out.

…Ah.

——There might be a reason.

The head of the organization may have overheard what happened last night.

Jet-black might destroy the shop in the same way as he did the bridge. With this in mind, it is possible that the head sent that message to avoid making the Jet-black angry…

Looking at it that way, it makes sense.

That’s the reason why the staff were so scared.

…I-I’m already like a wanted criminal…

That was the moment when the man hung his head in shame, making a comment to himself in his mind.

“And another message has been sent out.”

“Heh? Another one?”

“Yes. In the event of a visit by Sir Jet-black, I have been told to contact the director.”

“…Wh-why is that?”

“I wonder if there’s a possibility of the director or any related individuals visiting… Their residence isn’t too far away, after all.”

“I-I see…”

At this point, the man broke out in a cold sweat.

He linked the meaning of ‘make sure to offer utmost hospitality’ to ‘make sure to buy time for the people concerned to arrive.’
