056 – Chain stores. It’s Expansionist Move #2

“Change your name? Of our “Ludens Gourmet Party”?”

“Yes, and your activities will now go under my supervision. It was such a bet. Come now, don’t pretend you don’t know. There are any number of witnesses.”

I slightly threatened Rebekah.

I’m tall and my body’s muscles are as hard as steel, and I lower my voice low enough to keep the gossip from coming to their senses.

I was thinking of putting my hand on the scabbard in case I rebelled useless, but fortunately Rebekah didn’t seem to be that stupid.

“If you change your name, how… ?”

“You will now become a “victory restaurant.” And give 10 percent of your monthly profits to our club. In other words, you become our franchisees.”

“That, such nonsense… !”

Rebekah shouted as if she couldn’t stand my story.

Yes, it doesn’t make sense that a restaurant becomes a franchise of a snack bar.

But if it’s unfair, you should have won.

“You tried to destroy us. If you’re determined to destroy other people’s clubs. Wouldn’t it be natural to be prepared for your club to be ruined as well?”

They say it allows them to continue their business without being discontinued.

Isn’t this a really moderate treatment?

Of course, I didn’t mean to show generosity and mercy to the real ones.

This is, after all, a strategic act.

Someday, I will get all of this Ludens’ René distribution, build a villa, and lie down on a sunbed by the pool to heal.

To that end, it is essential to expand the octopus foot business so that it can target all ages and statuses.

Advanced strategy is one of them.

Selling 500,000 Renée’s worth of steak per plate at a snack bar isn’t quite right.

So let’s make another multi.

「Ludens Gourmet Party」 was perfect to manage as a puppet club in that sense.

Everyone has their own know-how, so there’s no need to master it from scratch.

If I tell you a recipe or two, you’ll be able to do better than you are now.

“For reference, we will lower the unit price of the products sold so that students can buy them.”

“Ouch… .”

Rebekah disassembled it very clearly.

It seems certain that this guy values this “Ludens Gourmet Party”.

“Because of Miss Rebekah… .”

“Our 120-year-old Ludens Gourmet… Name after defeat… .”

“Miss de Winter. How the hell do you do this… .”

Rebekah was badly attacked by the people in the outfield.

It’s honestly a bit embarrassing.

But it’s a bit disrespectful to see guys who didn’t try anything and blame the one who sweated the most.

“Idiots. Don’t make noise if you don’t know well. Do you think it’s easy to cook grade B meat to the point where it’s similar to grade A meat?”

Something I’ve felt in my life.

There is a reason they make a lot of money.

Most of the reasons are accompanied by ‘effort’.

Of course, there may be luck or inherited wealth, but it takes some effort to maintain it.

After all, it is a catering business.

The food service industry is really ruthless, and it is difficult to make money where the chef is not working hard.

The fact that this Ludens Gourmet Party earned up to 32 million René in a short period of time today was not just a fluke due to connections with nobles.

Of course, selling 100,000 René’s B-grade meat for 500,000 won is a bit problematic, but.

In other words, it means that you can aim for high returns with little money.

It’s perfect for setting up a franchise.

Then Rebekah asked.

“no way… , Did you try to get your hands on Ludens Gourmet from the beginning…? ? The fact that he created a club in the same industry, the food service industry, and deliberately caught my eye and dragged me into the world of competition… ?”

No, I didn’t even know who you were.

However, it seemed that Rebekah had already given an answer before I could answer.

“Victor, you really are more terrifying than you’ve heard. To even show mercy rather than abuse and allow the club to continue… .”

“Yes, Viktor-kun is a more elaborate and scary person than everyone knows. Sometimes even I can barely figure out what it means.”

Somehow, Enio answered with confidence.

Anyway, has the situation been sorted out with this?

No, Nike seemed to still have something to say.

“… Ooh, sorry for taking our club seat! And again, again… Regarding the robbing of the Moke Mokes’ nest in the Rash Guard Forest… !”

Were Nike and Rebekah intertwined with local bad ties?

The historic day when Nike, who was always below, first stepped on top of Rebekah.

“And apologize for being rude to Viktor!”

Nike’s clenched fists were trembling slightly, and his face was also very red.

Even asking for an apology takes a lot of courage.

“And I apologize to this Arnoi… ! There is no specific reason, but for some reason this Arnoi feels very much in the mood for an apology… !”

The world of competition is a cold and ruthless law.

A bet is a bet.

In the end, Rebekah had to bow her head on behalf of everyone.

“sorry… .”

I apologize more than I thought.

I thought you would say lines like “I can’t admit it!”

Then Rebekah added another word.

“But… , Rash Guard Forest is a dangerous place. One of the few remaining demons in the mainland. The beasts and monsters that live there are dangerous to people. Subjugation is good.”

“Wait, it’s not dangerous! They’re all good friends… ! It’s not dangerous at all if you don’t enter the forest carelessly… !”

Nike protested, but at this point, I think it’s right for me to ask myself.

“Rebekah, what is in the forest to the west, why is the de Winter family unleashing their forces to clear the forest? I don’t think there are any dangerous monsters on the mainland that aren’t Ludens.”

Then Rebekah let out a small sigh and said,

“You know it when you see the name Rash Guard Forest. In that forest lives the fearsome Lesh. It’s okay in spring or summer, but it’s very dangerous in the fall or especially in the winter forest.”

“… … .”

I was slightly shocked.

… Wasn’t Rash Guard the name of a swimsuit?

I thought it was a name the producers put on for fun.

Why, in the waters near Ludens that opens after Act 3, there is a resort area called Bikini Island.

I thought it was a forest named after a swimsuit like that.

A forest literally guarded by Lesh.

So it was Leshguard.

Enio said to him.

“Reshra… . I’ve heard of it too. I think it was said to be a monster that transforms into a ferocious beast or changes the environment of the forest to lead people astray.”

It turns into a beast or changes the environment of the forest.

Druid comes to mind.

Looking at Nike’s 《Toge Root》 and his ability to tame animals, it seemed highly likely that Nike’s father was not human.

Maybe that’s a good thing, Nike shouted.

“… Promise! I will not invade Rash Guard Forest!”

“that’s… .”

You’d better take Nike’s side here.

Nike is my business partner.

“Because you lost, promise me to be obedient. If it’s unfair, you should have won.”

“… … .”

Rebekah, who had been silent for a long time, finally seemed to bend over, saying, “Let’s try writing a letter to my father.”

With this, it can be said that the dwelling place of the cute Mokey Mokeys in Rash Guard Forest has become safe.

weekend.

Originally, it was a day when I should have been busy preparing materials, but today I slept until 7 in the morning leisurely.

I usually get up at 5:00 am to prepare ingredients and cook ramen, so just sleeping for 2 more hours made my body surprisingly light.

“As expected, people should be able to afford it.”

ㅁ Kungkong!

“Today is off. You can play with catching mice instead of cleaning today.”

-Hooong… !

Like I said to the wolf spider, I was going to rest today.

I made a lot of real money at the fair the other day.

Despite allocating according to each role and stake, I earned about 7 million René.

7 million times in one day.

“More will come in the future.”

Yesterday, before the sun went down, I stopped by the student council and, according to the formal procedure, “Ludens Gourmet Club” was assigned to Seungri’s cooking department.

Now, Ludens Gourmet Party has disappeared from this Ludens, and only 「Restaurant of Victory」 remains.

10% of what they make is now ours.

I gave you a special recipe, so do good business and sell a lot.

Palak.

I pick up the newspaper lying in front of the club room.

“The winner of the club fair is the winning cooking club! After a fierce battle until the end, won by a difference of 50,000 Ren… !”

There were a lot of bold articles written about yesterday.

As I reviewed these articles, I thought of Daley’s must have smiled face, and somehow I felt bad.

That guy was the subject of news no matter who won, so it must have been a risk-free fight.

Isn’t he the real winner who sat down and sucked honey?

“It was a really close match, though.”

50,000 Renée.

If Ludens Gourmet Association had sold just one more cup of water for 50,000 Renae, how would the match have turned out?

In particular, the suddenly appeared Orca Arclight was so variable that even I couldn’t help but be a little nervous.

If he had ordered expensive things from Rebekah’s store to be on the side of his fiancé, I would have had no choice but to take out that secret weapon.

“That means I want to save it until the second semester if possible.”

It’s called “Secret Weapon No. 1”.

It’s still too early for you to come out.

ㅁBeee-.

Boo Woo-.

Then Queen Elizabeth, who was resting in a high-hanging cage, flapped her wings. It must be that someone is coming to the club.

“Is it Domina? This morning, I’m going to splurge a bit and make budae-jjigae—.”

Suddenly, as I opened the door, I made eye contact with the person standing in front of the door and corrected my conversation.

“What is it, Victoria?”

“… what’s the response? Are you disappointed that it’s not Domina-sensei?”

“Not like that.”

“Rather than that, Miss Domina comes to eat breakfast every day? Even if you are a teacher, you come to the place where the students are every morning to eat. It’s unhealthy.”

“I’m just eating, is there anything unwholesome?”

When I asked back, Victoria was slightly taken aback.

“Isn’t it unhealthy to eat together?”

“I don’t understand what you are talking about.”

“Imagine if I came here every morning to eat. Isn’t that still unsound?”

“What’s wrong with that? Of course, if you come and eat every day, you will get paid exactly.”

You have to pay to eat, to get something for free somewhere.

Perhaps because of my meticulous personality, Victoria trembled a little.

It must be that my mind is dizzy from my fact assault.

I asked to change the mood.

“So, what’s the point of being busy with finishing the fair? It’s not like I came here to play with nothing to do.”

“… Me, me too, if I don’t have anything to do, I won’t come here, right? But Orca made an appointment. You and I, Rebekah and Orca. The four of us said that we should have dinner tonight.”

what combination is it?

Are you thinking of fraternizing 2v2 with people with fiances?

no, that can’t be

Orca This guy didn’t care if his fiancée was humiliated for losing a bet.

Putting Rebekah in this appointment is probably for the purpose of matching the ‘assortment’.

He must be trying to entice me with the feeling of just having a light meal.

“Is it an orca?”

Still, I wondered why Orca had arrived in Ludens.

Originally, he would appear in earnest in the story around Act 5, at the end of the first semester.

Maybe my breakup has rolled some snowballs.

He is the person with the highest probability that my healing life will be a variable.

It’s a cumbersome thing to keep close, but you shouldn’t keep it far away either.

“… After all, would it be better to refuse this situation? Orca is smart. If the story of our false marriage broke up… .”

Victoria seemed to know something about her brother, Orca.

It’s a halfway lie, it won’t work for him.

Originally, this promise.

It would be right to refuse.

“But there is no need to refuse. Did you say tonight? I will attend with you.”

“Is that okay?”

Victoria seemed somehow happy.
