Anime: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Fantasy Town

Zhou Guang planned to call out to the other person.

"Hey you……"

boom!

Hearing Zhou Guang's voice, the man came into close contact with the tree trunk.

Before Zhou Guang could rush over, the other party immediately got up, swaying his body and flew deep into the woods.

Zhou Guang intends to find out the truth about this strange situation.

"What on earth is she doing..."

Zhou Guang murmured in confusion.

Because the figure I just saw was the monster nicknamed "Little Bonebreaker" - Mystia Lorela.

At the same time, Mistia is also the owner of the popular Night Sparrow Restaurant.

From another perspective, the two can be considered as colleagues.

Faced with colleagues who might encounter problems, Zhou Guang finally followed them.

Chapter 36: Night Sparrow Dining Hall and the Pharmacist from Eternal Pavilion, Yagi Eirin (Please give me flowers! Collect!)

Mystia Lorela, a night sparrow monster, has the ability to confuse people with her singing.

Like some monsters that like to hide in dark night roads or deserted forests and disturb humans with their singing or shouting, Mystia would do the same occasionally.

However, because her singing voice is lively, people find it pleasant rather than confusing.

Unfortunately, Mystia, who formed a band with other monsters, did not achieve the achievement of "forming a band for life". They were soon complained about for disturbing the public and eventually ended up disbanding...

Perhaps this is also due to the suppression by seniors in the Yokai music industry.

After all, to the seniors, Mystia's singing was no different from noise.

In addition to the above deeds, Mistia would start running her own barbecue shop every night, mainly selling lampreys for treating night blindness.

Zhou Guang has also heard of the "Que wine" at her stall, which is said to make customers dance gracefully after drinking it.

But Zhou Guang had never seen it with his own eyes.

There's no way. After busy work at the restaurant, Zhou Guang always enjoys his alone time and has no time to wander around.

Unless you are invited by the girls from 'Gensokyo'.

Zhou Guang thought of this, tugged at his coat, and walked towards the depths of the woods.

The woods are not silent at night.

Occasionally, you can hear insects chirping;

Occasionally you’ll see birds flying;

Rumor has it that ghosts seem to haunt this area, causing the people in the "human village" to be afraid to play in the woods after dark.

Could it be that the foodie young lady from Baiyu Tower was responsible?

After Zhou Guang had a random guess in his mind, he heard some new noises.

It was the sound of a faint conversation.

Came along with the breeze in the forest.

who can that be?

Zhou Guang quickened his pace.

A patch of messy grass appeared before my eyes.

Zhou Guang, who had excellent eyesight even in the dark, saw the package that had fallen into the bushes.

He reached out and picked it up, and smelled the scent of food that was being simply pickled.

How did it end up here?

Zhou Guang took it and walked over the grass and into the woods.

The source of the conversation became clear.

Looking closely, I saw that it was a barbecue shop located between two big trees.

Or should we call it 'Night Sparrow Canteen'?

Zhou Guang walked over quickly, and the shadow behind him was gradually lengthened by the shadow of the stall.

At the same time, inside the stall——

Mistia, who had just returned here, was fiddling with the ingredients in front of her.

Her fingertips brushed across the mottled wood counter. The kerosene lamp swayed in the glass shade, casting her shadow on the cloth curtain behind her.

As soon as the third lantern in the Night Sparrow Restaurant was lit, fog began to fill the forest.

"Woo..."

After taking inventory, Mystia showed a troubled expression.

By this time, the lamprey was already sizzling on the iron net, and the fat was falling into the charcoal fire, raising green smoke.

Never mind, forget it for now...

Mystia decided to cheer herself up.

So she hummed a tuneless song while carefully preparing the food to be sold to the customers.

"A new guest has arrived."

In fact, a female customer had already sat down on the west side of the guest seat at the Night Sparrow stall.

Hearing her say this, Mystia couldn't help but look outside the store.

A figure came into view.

This person is Zhou Guang.

He came to the stall and held up a package in his hand.

"Boss Yeque, this is what you dropped, right? After all, I found it nearby."

"Ah! It's mine! Those are the ingredients I'll be using tonight...!"

"Then the question is, why did you appear near my restaurant just now?"

Zhou Guang's question was not answered, and the woman who was already seated suggested

"Why don't you sit down and talk?"

"It's also..."

Zhou Guang agreed and sat down immediately, then looked over there.

The woman with silver-white hair was leisurely tasting the wine provided by Night Sparrow, but she had no intention of dancing.

Zhou Guang smiled slightly and greeted him.

"Isn't this Miss Yagi, the pharmacist of Yongyuan Pavilion? Good evening, I'm Zhou Guang, and I opened the Linzhong Restaurant over there."

Bayei Eirin, who came to the Night Sparrow Dining Hall, looked towards Zhou Guang.

She seemed to be thinking back to the past...

"Shuguang... I heard your name at Miss Bai Ze's private school. Your restaurant is very popular. Miss Kaguya asked me to buy some food there before."

"You are most welcome."

"I don't know what the price is, but Miss Kaguya has been secretly buying some things recently."

“You can get a discount.”

"In that case, I'll definitely go there if I have the chance."

'Eien-tei' where Yagi Eirin worked became one of Shu-Guang's potential customers.

Only then did Zhou Guang turn to the inside of the stall.

"So Miss Mystia, why are you near my restaurant? And you're so panicked. Judging from the situation at the scene, you've already opened for business. As the boss, you shouldn't be running around, right?"

"This... is actually the ingredients. I went to get the ingredients."

"Then why are you so flustered?"

"because……"

Mistia fiddled with the barbecue and said

"I have a bad memory, but I know that Mr. Zhou Guang's restaurant is very popular. If you see me nearby, it will be troublesome if you misunderstand me as eavesdropping on the cooking secrets. I, I don't want to be an enemy of Mr. Zhou Guang!"

The little night sparrow in the forest looks really timid...

Chapter 37: Mistia feels relieved and meets the owner of Xianglin Hall by chance (asking for flowers! Collection!)

Mystia began to explain in detail everything that had happened before.

After she opened the shop, she welcomed her first customer, Bayei Eirin.

After all the ingredients were taken out and prepared one by one, Mistia realized after a while that some was missing.

"Originally, when I opened my shop, I would push my cart around Mr. Zhou Guang's restaurant and go through the woods behind. Although this increased the distance, I didn't have to worry about being noticed by Mr. Zhou Guang."

"I did this because I was afraid that Mr. Shuguang would think I was a competitor who was trying to steal cooking secrets..."

"But I am a little curious. I often think to myself, 'The restaurant in the forest is very popular, so the food must be amazing.' But I have never taken any action."

"After the restaurant opened tonight, I found that I didn't have enough ingredients, so I ran home to get them. Since the route through the restaurant is the shortest, I didn't have to take a detour like before."

"As a result, I was so nervous that I made quite a lot of noise... Did I disturb Mr. Zhou Guang?!"

"Please don't be angry, and please don't compete with me! If Mr. Zhou Guang also stays open until late at night, I guess there will be no customers here..."

Mystia, who was timid and humble, with her wings folded up, had been avoiding the state light.

Zhou Guang's evaluation of this is...

"Ms. Nightbird, Boss Mystia, please allow me to speak a word."

"Well, please go on..."

"I'm not worried at all that you'll steal my cooking secrets, because there aren't any special secrets. It's fine if you pass by the restaurant, so let's just get along well from now on."

"Huh? Really? Is this really possible?"

"I feel like you think I'm a weird person."

"Please, please don't misunderstand!"

"Why do you think so?"

this……

Mystia tilted her head.

Because she has a bird brain, she is very forgetful and can't even remember the guests who came last night.

But she seemed to have thought of something...

"The newspaper. I think I've read it. The headline was 'dominant' or something else. Anyway, it was saying that Mr. Shuguang's cooking skills were amazing and his restaurant was very popular. It could easily crush other stores in 'Gensokyo'. I must have been included in it..."

"That's just over-exaggeration, don't worry about it."

And it must be something that Reimuchi made up.

Zhou Guang did not label himself as the "number one chef in Gensokyo".

"So that's how it is. I can rest assured now..."

After saying this, Mystia brought the grilled lamprey to Bayi Yonglin.

Then the boss lady of Yeque looked at Zhou Guang with a relaxed expression.

"Excuse me, Mr. Zhou Guang, what would you like to eat?"

"What's here?"
