I Was Transported to Another World, but I Negotiated and Persuaded Both the Goddess and the Demon King. C172

Episode 172 Review of work methods! 

When I returned home, I found Marie with her head in her hands, staring at her notes. 

"I'm home! I mean, what's going on?"

She looked at me with a tired expression and said, "Welcome back," and then she let out a big sigh. 

"Hey, there's a problem."

Marie showed me the memo. 

There are two plans at the same time. 

...Double booking? 

“Are these two groups the only ones?”

I got worried and checked. 

"Yeah, for now. But I was thinking of countermeasures because the same problem will occur in the future."

“Do you have any good ideas?”

"...There isn't."

I asked Marie about the reception procedure. 

First, we confirm your name and address, explain the ring, show you around the photo shoot, and finally reserve a photo shoot date to sign a formal contract. 

It hasn't changed from before. 

“What is this paper?”

I am taking notes at the reception desk and transferring them to another piece of paper. 

Isn't that the reason? 

Write down the time in advance on one sheet per day, and write it directly when signing the contract. 

At that time, write only the number on the contract so that other customers do not know who it is. 

"Yes, that would work out somehow. However, the problem is that there is no one who can transcribe anything other than Fran."

That's certainly true. 

When I called Fran, she was just as tired. 

"Good job!"

"I'm tired!"

I'll ask Fran to tell me the problem as well. 

As expected, it seems difficult to do the shooting and [transfer] work in such a short time. 

Another factor is that she moves every time she takes a dress photo and a contract photo. 

I expected this, but this problem happened sooner than I expected... 

I noticed that Lila was looking at me worriedly. 

I beckoned her and called her, and she ran over to me. 

"good job"

She was happy when I patted her head. 

“Are you thinking about having a meal upstairs?”

“…No one has made it yet.”

"That was bad. Shall we eat at Guile's restaurant?"

Zack and Tyler seem to be training with Toggle, so I contacted Toggle and told him that I was at Guile's store. 

When I entered the store, there were only a few customers. 

"Yo, Guile."

I said hello and sat down at an empty table. 

Lately, Shiro and Laila always sit on either side of me. 

I can see that Yui and Rivera are nervous. 

On the other hand, Fran and Marie are tired. 

“You can order whatever you like!”

I asked Kuro, Yui and Rivera to explain the menu. 

“Ah, it would be nice to have something that gives you some energy!”

"Oh yeah, I'm too tired to think of anything."

As a business owner, it hurts to see this. 

Since everyone had no hope, they ordered random recommendations. 

We resume talking about the problem until the food arrives. 

As soon as they started restarting, Yui raised her hand and spoke. 

“If it’s okay with me, I will work hard to acquire the [transcription] skill.”

Fran seemed to be the most surprised by the sudden declaration. 

"Yui, don't make decisions easily just because you want to help!"

"……yes"

"But I know that Yui told me because she wanted to help. Thank you."

Everyone here knows that Yui wants to help in her own way. 

However, it is not easy to learn and may not be suitable for the profession. 

“Is it difficult to acquire the [transcription] skill?”

"That's not true. It's an initial skill for intelligence officers."

"Both Yui and Rivera, I want you to choose your occupation carefully. If you don't have the skills for the job you want, you'll regret it later."

They both nodded. 

However, what to do... 

“Why don’t we separate the reception and contract areas to reduce Fran-san’s burden?”

Certainly, I had thought about that idea, but it would require two people. 

The burden is too heavy for Yui and Rivera. 

"It's a good idea, but we don't have enough staff."

I put my hand on Lila's head and spoke to her. 

"Don't worry about it, just keep telling me what you think!"

Lila nodded slightly. 

“Marie, how long do you have reservations?”

"Unless you order a custom size, it will be available until three days later."

I will make suggestions regarding business hours, etc. 

Starting tomorrow, reception will be held in the morning, and reservations will close one hour before the event. 

If we only do photography in the afternoon, of course we'll only have customers with reservations. 

Fran and Marie are thinking,

"Well, if it's in the morning, there won't be a limited quantity and the burden will be less."

"I'm fine with that idea too."

"Don't drink too much 'MP recovery medicine'!"

"……yes"

Fidek, who was in charge of the floor, brought the food to us. 

When about half of the food was served, Toggle and his friends came in. 

It looks like Toggle is tired. 

"Good job!"

When I called out to Toggle, I received a careless reply, "Ah."

I packed up the seats and had Zack and Tyler sit down. 

Zack and Tyler sat down cheerfully and began eating. 

I told Shiro and Laila to get up and moved to the counter. 

"What happened?"

"I've never taught properly before, so I'm just tired."

"If you teach others, you may notice something."

"It's true. I was reminded once again that the basics are important."

"Good luck, Master Toggle."

He doesn't seem to have the energy to reply. 

“Toggle, when did you start thinking about being an adventurer?”

"When I remember, I was aiming to be an adventurer."

"It's early."

"Ah, it's a world where you can't survive unless you're strong, and I was only one horn..."

"I don't know, but does the number of horns really matter?"

"...It's like a symbol of power. One-horned people always feel inferior."

“Are they like that too?”

Look at Zack and Tyler. 

"Those guys didn't grow up in the village, so they might not feel it much..."

He looked at the two with envious eyes. 

Noticing our gaze, Rivera got up from his seat and came over. 

"Thank you, Toggle-san, for guiding my younger brothers."

I bowed my head to Toggle and thanked him. 

"No, it's not a big deal, so if it's this much, I'll take it every day."

I answered shyly. 

“Wow, every day.”

I didn't miss those words. 

“Zack and Tyler, Toggle will be practicing tomorrow too!”

Both of them were happily stuffing their mouths with food. 

Rivera also thanked him again. 

Toggle looked embarrassed but happy.
