Rising from the Slum City of Reincarnation in Another World ~ Gathering, Hunting, and Living a Slow Life by Eating

Chapter 100   Eleanor-sama and pizza, and to the revival of Eldania

After that, we engaged in conversation with Lady Eleanor and the priest.

The shop is closed to customers, but I doubt anyone would come in since there are knights stationed outside, even if it were left open.

In addition to the three female Royal Guards, there is another team consisting of three regular Royal Guards.

“I’m starting to feel a little hungry.”

“Oh, really? Would you like something to eat? How about pizza? It’s not on the menu yet.”

“Pizza? What kind of dish is that?”

“Well, it’s a thin bread dough topped with tomato, basil, and cheese, then baked in an oven.”

“I see. I would love to try that!”

Lady Eleanor smiled cheerfully while the priest also smiled at the sight.

I took out a pizza from my item box before it was cooked.

I always keep some pizza ready to be baked.

To be honest, I could just bake it and keep it in the item box, but that would reveal the existence of the item box.

I preheated the oven before putting the pizza inside.

Today’s pizza is topped with tomatoes from the forest, basil from the grasslands, thinly sliced rabbit meat, and evenly distributed cheese slices.

I left the rest to Lania and focused on accompanying Lady Eleanor.

“Somehow, it smells wonderful.”

“Yes, indeed.”

Not only Lady Eleanor but also the priest seemed excited.

“The pizza is ready.”

“Ohh!”

“Interesting.”

Lania delicately served the pizza in front of the two.

“So, this is pizza. It looks incredibly delicious! Ed-kun, you’re a genius.”

“Well, I suppose so.”

“Well then, let’s dig in.”

“We express our gratitude to Raffalier-sama and then, let’s eat.”

As expected of a priest from the Church of Raffalier, the priest made a proper expression of gratitude.

“Mmm, delicious!”

“Oh, it’s incredibly delicious!”

Lady Eleanor cutely savored the pizza, munching away. Lania and I smiled, finding it heartwarming. We were getting hungry ourselves.

“To think there’s something this delicious. Ed-kun, you’re amazing.”

“Well, yeah.”

“Ed-kun, Ed-kun, is this not available for sale? It wasn’t on the menu earlier.”

“Oh, I plan to move the café to the house right next door and turn this place into a pizza and curry shop.”

“Oh my, by the way, what is curry?”

“Curry is a spicy dish, a soup with a rich blend of spices.”

“A soup, huh? I’d love to try it next time. I’ll definitely come back.”

As we had no one else to ask, I decided to inquire about the Eldania Lord’s Manor with Lady Eleanor.

“If it’s the Eldania Lord’s Manor, it should be uninhabited now since the previous lord fled. We handle its management, so if you need permission to use it, that can be arranged.”

“In that case, may I request it?”

“Of course.”

Thus, I asked Lady Eleanor for permission to establish the Lord’s Manor Hotel.

After some casual conversation, the priest and Lady Eleanor took their leave.

The conversation flowed smoothly.

The establishment of the Lord’s Manor Hotel was supported by Lady Eleanor, and we received assistance in terms of funding.

Upon visiting the site, we discovered that the manor still had intact beds, futons, tableware, and even cooking utensils, allowing us to require fewer preparations.

Café Elfir has been relocated to the nearby “Elfir Branch No. 3.”

We have also hired part-time staff.

The half-elf employee, who can use magic, has been entrusted with the task of preparing ice.

With this, we have established a system where the café can operate smoothly even without our presence, with instructions alone.

The living room of our current house has transformed into the “Elfir Members-Only Restaurant.”

As discussed with Lady Eleanor, we will serve various teas, curry, and pizza.

We have also requested ice from the aforementioned half-elf and entrusted the rest to the other staff members.

Gid-san has resigned from his position as a teacher at the Lanierda Blue Sky Elementary School.

Fortunately, we found a suitable replacement, another capable half-elf, so there are no issues.

Although it hasn’t been long since we moved, we temporarily left the city of Trieste and focused on managing the Eldania Lord’s Manor Hotel.

We all traveled there together in a carriage.

As for the hotel, we have hired a couple of live-in half-elf staff members who expressed their desire for such work.

Additionally, we have arranged for three human girls to live and work there.

Everyone has arrived.

Furthermore, we have attracted the assistance of several elves who used to reside in the Salvatoria Territory, drawn by the rumors.

Next, the Rapunzel Sisters.

Whether they received a message from Lady Eleanor or heard the rumors, I’m not sure, but they are staying at the Lord’s Manor.

For now, they are serving as the exclusive guards for the Gid family.

Everyone gathered in the lobby of the Lord’s Manor Hotel.

“Cough. Today, I declare the opening of the Eldania Lord’s Manor Hotel.”

It was Gid-san.

While I served as the temporary manager of Elfir, things are different here.

Gid-san has taken on the role of the hotel manager.

In other words…

“Wowww!”

“The lord, the birth of a new lord.”

“And, cough, cough, it’s a secret, but it’s none other than Gid-san.”

Indeed, Gid himself has become the new lord.

Everyone’s attention is on Gid.

Some are even moved to tears.

They feel a sense of gratitude as they were once saved by Gid.

“Oh, we won’t make it public yet, but as the former Duke of Salvatoria, I am tentatively declaring this place as the new Salvatoria Duchy. Our goal is to officially gain recognition as a lord from King Merlia.”

Applause erupts simultaneously.

“Ohhhhh!”

“Hail, Lord! Hail!”

One by one, they line up to shake hands with Gid.

Even some of the staff from the previous visit are present.

“Well, Gid-san, it seems we’ve been fooled. You were the true lord all along. I’ve been defeated.”

“I apologize for deceiving you back then.”

“No, it was because you were still incognito. I wish you great success and pray for your well-being.”

“Thank you.”

As usual, we are being watched or supervised by Beast-san, accompanying our group.

“New Lord, please take care of us.”

“Lord Beast, Ed is indebted to you. I hope you can teach him swordsmanship again.”

“Of course. This territory will become busier. Having more strength is always better.”

“Yes, threats can come suddenly.”

“Yes.”

Beast-san and Gid-san exchange a firm handshake.

Eleanor-sama watches them with a satisfied expression.

In her position as an investor in the hotel, she keeps an eye on us.

The female knights, serving as escorts, also wear a determined and noble expression.

“Papa, do your best!”

Minya cheerfully sends her support with an innocent smile.

“Gid-san, please do your best!”

“Gid-san, do your best, myaow!”

Lania and Ciel, dressed up for the occasion, also cheer for Gid.

Although Lania is not their child, she has become attached to us.

“Thank you. By the way, I’ll have Ed-kun work as well. He’ll help with the ice, lend his wisdom, and bake pizzas.”

“Oh, yes. I’ll do my best.”

I bow my head to Gid.

“Let’s do our best together, Ed-chan!”

“Ed-kun, let’s do our best together too.”

“Ed-kun, let’s all do our best, myaow!”

Everyone gathers around, pressing their bodies against mine, and giving playful nudges.

Their warmth is comforting.

“Hehehe, we need to grow up quickly so we can be married, meow!”

“Yes, please take care of me too.”

“Myaow, wawawa, I also want to be a bride, myaow!”

Minya kisses my cheek, and Lania, with a smile on her face, gives me a kiss as well.

Lastly, a slightly flustered Ciel lightly pecks me with a kiss.

Eleanor-sama, who was watching them, blushes and averts her gaze.

Now, let’s continue to do our best.

Aim for Gid’s formal appointment as the rightful lord.

And then, our slow-paced life together.
