5. Business is boomin
spin using the ticket the building flashes with light once more, the first story opens up and chairs and tables are spread everywhere. Small decorations like plants and small paintings pop up along the windows. At the very back of the first story was a door which lead to a small hallway which had the staff bathroom to the right, the kitchen to the left, and upstairs straight ahead
Making my way upstairs the corridor extends for a couple more meters and on the left was a door named "Butler changing room" and to the right was a door labelled "maid changing room"
Past the Hallway was a break room with a fridge, couch, table and a pool table but the main theme of the room was a library as the walls were stacked with books sorted from A to Z
On the furthest wall from the corridor was another stare case but this one had a lock on it luckily the key was in the lock already
Going through the door while tossing the key in my inventory I see a living space, I guess the entire 3rd floor was for me
Walking back out I decided to ask Lan a couple of questions
"So where did Ceric go?" I asked
"Well… his name wasn't Ceric, he was actually the god Cupid who was banished to this building never to leave it after falling in love with another god's wife aka Dragapi. But we managed to find a loophole, see when a god makes a descendent they have to give up their physical form so he decided to give it to you after seeing Dragapi for the last time" he explained
"And another question… how am I gonna run this store?"
"Oh, no worries! This was Cupid's pride and joy! He literally called it a money printing machine because of its main function, it auto stocks without having to spend money!" Lan said joyously
"Though you still gotta staff it…" he noted
"The shops not gonna be too popular right now so Dragapi should be able to handle it but you should find another maid, I can handle all the cooking" Lan suggested
"Nice! So when can we open?" I asked him
"I need about a week to train Dragapi, maybe in that time, you could find some more employees? Maybe you could make a guild based off of the cafe?" He suggested
"Know what, that's not that bad of an idea!" I praised Lan
"I'm just thinking of what's best for the boss" he bowed
"I do have a concern though… isn't Dragapi… a little… you know… stupid? I don't think I could trust her to bring the right dishes to the right customers" I voiced my concerns
"That's exactly why she'd be a great maid! People love cute clumsy girls! Plus if we get a perv she wouldn't have the mind to notice them meaning that we won't have to worry about her being weirded out or killing people!" He explained
"…!" I realized what he was saying
"Lan you genius!" I patted him on the back
"I'm gonna go see what it takes to make a guild!"
"Wait, boss!" Lan stopped me
"Yeah?"
"I forgot to tell you something, there's one big downside to going through with the guild method. If your guild gets too popular you would have to make more locations which you would have to pay for the building, decor, furniture, and shipping of ingredients and food from here to there!" He warned me
"I'll keep that in mind. Thanks, Lan!" I said as I ran into town
It took a while of looking but I eventually stumbled upon a building that read "assistance, donation, virtues, economics, needs, taxes, utility, recon, education, resources, subjugation guild" and underneath was the abbreviation A.D.V.E.N.T.U.R.E.R.S Guild
Walking in I was greeted by a wooden interior, there was a wide open space with people eating, talking and training all over the place. Directly across the room from the front door was a grand rare case which turned into a platform before splitting into two separate staircases, one going to the left and one going to the right in that wall that the platform was up against there were guild attendees
(A/N: If I manage to remember I will put an image in the comments)
Walking up the stairs I am greeted by an attendee
"Willkommen!" She greeted in another language that sounded familiar. After taking a second I realized what it was, it was german. I'm guessing that this is because the overall architecture of the area I'm in is very medieval german esque
"Hey! I'm wondering how I would go about making a guild?"
"Oh, my apologies madame! This is the subjugation and questing department, what you are looking for is government. To find that advice go to the right and take the first turn, just down the hall will be a giant archway which leads to the government department you can't miss it!" She piped up and just as I turned to leave she spoke again
"By the way madam, is this your first time here? If so then you're going to want a guild card!" She told me
"Hmm? Why?"
"Because guild quests are an excellent way to make money! You see quests given by the citizens of Orthandale usually result in equipment or experience guild quests result in high payouts! It's how host people make their living" she explained
"Hmm, how long does it take"
"Only 5 or so minutes! We just need information!" She clasped her hands together
"Alright,"
"Class?" She asked while pulling out a printer
"Bard"
"Race?" She asked while typing
"Human"
"Level?" She continued typing
"15"
"Wow! You're strong!" She complemented as she typed
"And finally name?" she asked
"Ryuko Matoi" I answered nonchalantly
"And would you like to put any titles on this card?" She asked before a window popped up
—————————————-
Title inventory (warning, putting a title on a guild card will make it so the title appears with your username)
Progress titles (titles that change as you progress)
<93 kilometre walker> (common)
————————————
I tapped on the divine title and pressed accept
"Thank you for joining us this will only take a moment to print" the woman bowed as the printer did its job, a couple minutes later she handed my my guild card before I started making my way to the government branch
Seeing a mirror I decided to stop and inspect my username. My username had turned pastel pink and now read
-♡Lover Girl Ryuko Matoi♡-
It certainly stood out
