Chapter 107: Fast Food Chain Plan (SS)

---Alex POV---

.

.

.

On one of the beautiful mornings, at the garden in AL manor, I, Chali, Al, and Eliz had our breakfast under the refreshing and warm sunlight.

[So, you plan to build new type restaurants or whatever food chain business and make this town as the start?]

Eliz asked me while fixing her glasses habitually in a serious manner. She glared at me intriguingly and observed my expression with her slitting eyes

[Correction, it's not restaurants or ordinary food chain, but "fast-food" chain business]

I corrected her remarks briefly. After silent and gave her time for a few seconds, I continued to explain the fast-food business plan to Eliz

[Basically, this concept of fast-food is we served the food whenever customer order in a minute. Unlike the traditional restaurant that has to cook the food first, this fast-food service system just needs to mass cook the food before putting it inside a catalog that already has a heating system in it to make the food always stay warm. So, whenever a customer ordered the foods, the worker just need to grab from it to directly serve it by just putting it on one-time used packages or wrap it up on some simple package to the customer for taking out the foods and bring it with them]

After hearing my explanation, Eliz started pondering after it for a while. As for Al, she put the teacup on the table as she started speaking to me after

[So, you plan to sell that soda drink and fried chicken in it? If your concept can work smoothly like your vision described, this fast-food thing will be generated money at a ridiculous speed for sure. Imagine it, ordering a fulfilling meal within a minute, it's even faster than street food! If the adventurers hearing this news, they will be frolicking this fast-food thing for sure! Especially in the morning when they chose to spend less time in their breakfast to get into the Adventurer Guild earlier and fighting over for some good quest!] 

[Right?! that's why I guarantee this business will be a gold mine!!]

Eliz who seemingly finished her pondering noticed my eagerness into this fast-food business. As if found something that made her doubt from her pondering earlier, she couldn't help herself to ask me the crucial problem that bothered her

[Alex, I understand that this fast-food thing of yours will be enormously profitable, but, how about the raw ingredient to make the soda as well as the fried chicken? Do you have some big farm or something? As you already know, this fast-food thing will surely be a big business that needs a stable and a ridiculous amount of raw material supply, so a small farm isn't enough to supply this fast-food of yours 

.

Furthermore, after taste the fried chicken you gave us that night, I realize these fried chickens of yours have a different taste from the usual ordinary chickens in this Kingdom. Just so you know, even if I look like this, I still doing some surveys in the rural area. I know that the meats of these chicken the villager usually raise, is quite hard and very dry... in short, it's very unappetizing]

'As expected of Eliz, she's surely sharp as usual. Like her, I already taste the local chicken meat in this world too, and surely their meat isn't tender and moist like the chicken from my world no, I'm sure they are a different species to begin with! 

The chicken meats here kinda have a similiar textures to the wild chicken meat on earth but less delicious and low in umami'

Amazed by her sharpness, I nodded my head at Eliz in understanding. This time, I turned my head at Chali who still elegantly sipping her tea. With just this small action of mine, she already understood what my intention was as she's putting her teacup elegantly on top of the table.

[About this problem, I beg your pardon to let me explain~]

With her calm and serene voice, Chali took Al and Eliz's attention. As her bearing slightly changed into an elegant and charismatic lady at this moment, it's helped her to make people started focusing on her easier

[As the representative of Master, we want to offer funds and invest toward the development of the rural area in lady Alein territory. With our funding, we expect the rural area will be greatly developed further into a prospering agriculture and animal husbandry area which will contribute to solving the food shortage problem in Lady Alein territory. 

We believe with the proper and professional management, we can paint a bright future for the people in the rural area by providing the wage standard that was much higher than their usual income, set by us]

Eliz pondering Chali offer for a while before raising her doubts

[Forgive me for being blunt, but, we already invest in agriculture and animal husbandry in some of the fertile areas in our territory, but, the problem of this food shortage is more complicated than you think...

.

with a monster group that ravaged the land from time to time, we must consider the safety of the villager, that's why we always limit the expansion of the farm field in order to set some safety measure for the villager. Furthermore, given that the young people tend to have more interest in being adventurer rather than farmer, throughout the year we lack the manpower to maintain the field, hence we have this food shortage situation right now...]

Chali smiled elegantly after hearing Eliz's doubt as well as a reasonable problem to her plan. She casually took a laptop from her inventory bag before opening it in front of Eliz and Al.

Looking at the strange silvery folding iron in their sight, Eliz and Al looking at the laptop that Chali took curiously. Maybe, in their perspective, this folded weird tool was something new and strange for them.

After operating the laptop with her nimble finger for a while, Chali turned the screen at Eliz and Al to see. Before long, a video about a modern farm and animal husbandry that was already being built in my hidden base played in it.

[T-this is!!! Is this time magic and illusion magic combined?! Alex, is this your doing too?!]

Looking at Al who excitedly turning her head between the video and me consecutively, I shrugged my shoulder in helplessness.

[Nah, its just a magic tool that can play the recorded situation memory from the recorder magic tools I possessed]

[C-can you give me one! Those magic tools?]

[We can discuss this later, look, you seem annoyed Eliz who still focus on watching the video]

[Vedeo? Wha->

[Gohon* young lady, we still in serious discussion right now, please cease your tension for this time]

Interjected by Eliz, Al covered her sexy lips playfully before calming her composure back. She winked at me playfully and back to being lady-like by sipping her tea elegantly.

Seeing her cute and playful action, I couldn't help to smile wryly at her. I didn't know why but I somehow recalled the scene after our hot night. Maybe, the request she offered to me at the time we just have our intercourse was really her true thought.

'Sigh this woman, maybe she really not suited to lead a territory and being a noble. I wonder what happens to her territory if there's no Eliz by her side this woman seems more interested in magic and battle... it's quite conflicted with her usual ara-ara bearing for sure'

I shrugged my head and decided to not think about this further.

After a while, the video ended. Seeing Eliz surprised and excited face, she couldn't help herself to stare at me with a bright lit eye in expectation!

[Alex, d-do you really want to share those incredible magical tools and the steels thing from the moving picture?!! Do you know how miraculous those things are?! Sigh After thinking bout it deeply, I became hesitant right now this thing is a double edge blade for sure... If some Aristocrat family take a glimpse of this magical tool performance, I'm sure it will bring big trouble to us]

Hearing Eliz worry, I just gave her a reassuring smile before speaking my thought to her

[Eliz, rest assured, for now, we just have to focus on the animal husbandry sector. Anyway, with the advanced and industrial design from the barn and chicken coop, you already know that we can further increase productivity and maximize the limited space. Like you already saw in the video earlier, with the facilities like water system and feeder already set, we can decrease the man-power to the minimum]

Looking at her still worried expression, I continued speaking further

[You don't have to worry too much. Since I have not decided to release all the good stuff, I can somehow protect this advanced industrial system of animal husbandry. I think with just chicken coops, the nobles there will not risking themselves by being into a Grandmaster powerhouse's bad sides]

This time, After hearing my further explanation, Eliz touched her chin in pondering before gazing at my eyes. After a while, she sighed in helplessness as she nodded her head at me

[Maybe, if it's just this chicken coop design, they will back off to try robbing it from us with you being our backing But, how about the chicken? Looking at the chicken in your vedeo thing, it seems it's a different animal from what we have here~]

[About that, don't worry, I will get it for the villager. later, their job is simply just breeding and raising it healthily according to the standard that we set~]

Eliz nodded her head in confirmation albeit hesitatingly.

I saw a hint of doubt in her eyes, but since she didn't ask it further, I guessed she just wanted to be understanding and sensible about my true ability.

After a while, she changed her face once again into a serious expression. She gazed at my eyes seriously and started speaking

[Then? you will not help our people and our territories for free, are you? So, what is the payment do you want? I'm really sorry, but after spending a lot of money to pay the Adventurer Guild to release the Special Quest, our financial condition is quite tight and limited for the time being]

I smiled at Eliz for her perceptiveness and answered her question teasingly

[What are you talking about? Aren't we a family right now? Since you and Al are already my women, of course, we'll not ask you too much~ hehe~ 

Anyway, I just want you guys to transfer all the slaves in your territory to me. Don't worry, I will not mistreat them, and of course, I just want non-criminal slaves, as for the criminal slave, I'm sorry but you guys can keep it as it is~]

Hearing my request, not only Eliz who was shocked and doubtful, even Al who always silent all this time looking at me doubtfully. Al putting her teacup gently before gazing at me and asked

[What do you want with all the slaves? Do you need manpower for your place? Anyway, even though I contempt slavery in my heart, but I can't abolish this system since it really benefits us a lot to deal with criminal]

I looked at Al in confusion when she finished her words.

[What do you mean by abolishing slavery? I just want the non-criminal slave in your territory. Of course, I will not ask the impossible by getting it from the official store that already gets the kingdom permission. I just want to take all the illegal slave from the black market and the dark force in your town... and as you already know, as I ask this as payment, it's mean I will not use a peaceful way when taking it~]

I smile coldly after finishing my sentence. looking at my somewhat eerie and cold smile, Eliz seemed realized what I was trying to do, she looked at me in disbelief as she started shouting at me 

[Are you crazy?!! Alex, listen, even though we want to sweep all that insidious bastard and flatten them down to the ground, but it's not easy as you speaking it to be! The Underground is a very complicated place, in there, we didn't know what forces backing them are!

It can be the higher Aristocrats in this kingdom, or maybe even from the other kingdom!

If by any chance we touch the wrong rotting "garbage" that belongs to someone troublesome, you know what disaster this thing will lead you to, right?!]

Looking at Eliz who suddenly heated up and started warning me about the danger, I just gave her a calm smile before reassuring her

[Just leave this thing to us. Anyway, let's stop talking about that problem for now.

Let's back to the topic, I want your noble house to assist us in this development plan. Just give us some land in some rural area to build industrial chicken coops, I will assure you, throughout the time, not only the chicken coops, but I will also develop it into a prosper and stable food production area that will benefit all of us greatly]

Eliz sighed helplessly and agreed to not mulling about the underground thing further. This time, it was Al's turn who asked her doubt after hearing my last remark about our cooperation.

[What about the profit? Is it according to the precious contract?]

[What? It's ended up become our money anyway, so not let make a fuss about it and just do it according to the contract as usual~]

[Right! fufufu~]

With Al giggle, the heavy atmosphere about dark forces and the Underground problem suddenly disappeared like a lie.

Under the warm sun, the four of us continued to have our tea and eat high-quality bread and sandwich to continue our breakfast.

'Today is a peaceful day as usual~ I wonder if this will last for long? forget it, since I decided to take a day off these days, let's not worry about the thing that will happen in the future~'
