They would soon show me to their establishment, I gazed upon it and my eyes could only gaze spontaneously, I already knew that the two of them have been planning on their restaurant, but I wasn't expecting the residence sitting right in front of me, one thing I took note was that it had a decent medium size structure, it was colored green there were chairs and tables all aligned beautifully outside and there was a sign also taped to the front, it was hand drawn but I could tell that it was done with careful dedication, this establishment looked like someone like Gustavo Frig would buy, I asked Yumi how they were able to get this place, she looked at me with a pose that made her look taller and said.
'My dad used to work in a restaurant business before he met my mother, he got a large leftover fund from how successful his business turned out, so when he learned about how I wish to open one for myself he offered me his old place and allowed that I renovate it to my liking', her voice was so soft and tangy each time she spoke, while in my head all I could think, 'wow they're very very rich', we walked over to the structure where they both opened the restaurant door to let me in and show me the interior, it wasn't shabby I would tell you that', Mary smiled proudly, ' Yumi and I do our best to keep this place as spotless as we can so that when we open it, everyone will gasp at how magical it looks', her voice was even more dazzling I was gonna faint. They both then showed me the ups and downs of the establishment until I one hundred percent knew of all the restaurant code and procedures, so with that, the three of us got straight to work.
As part of our job we first had to advertise the place, the two of them would pull me over to the drawing table where they helped me make my own sign, I wrote, 'if your looking for serving come ordering at Yumary's', [it's the name of the restaurant].
Afterwards we all continued to head out and send out the message to the villagers, it was fun honestly having to bring attention to those people by letting them know about the restaurant, I even made a little dance performance attracting at least five people, by then we already had a good amount of patrons who wanted to come to our establishment, by then shifts change each turn, Yumi and I went to the kitchen where we would do the cooking while Mary acted as the waitress, our first order was fried dumpling, a simple but usually popular dish, Mary would then give me a paper, that showed me all the plate options there were on the menu, and my eyes widen when I had gotten a look at it there was so much on there, I looked at both of them, my face flushed again I looked away, it was as if these two just knew every known favorite product there was to offer. When Yumi and I do the cooking, notice that she always handled her food with care, a surprising detail in my opinion since while she was sweet I always saw her being sort of the rough one when it comes to preparing these kinds of dishes, when we finished we would call to Mary and she would happily come over to take the order and pass it on to the patron, one hour pass and we copy the procedure, only this time it was Mary's turn to bake, now she has a interesting way of baking, when Mary bakes she always slaps on the dough releasing the air out from it rather then stabbing it with a cooking stick, showing the kind of roughness I expected from the latter. We prepared all kinds of meals, Noodles, Tofu, Soup, heck someone ordered a fried duck', I was having so much fun, my affection for the two girls however kept growing that inevitably I forgot the pass of time, two months would pass and every day I would go home from school and come here to help assist these two on their business, by this point the restaurant had been a hit by many people, it was fun I will admit, and if it weren't for the fact that I was still planning on moving I probably wouldn't have minded working here full time. My brother eventually came by, alongside George, Victor, all my friends came by it was like old times all over again, when we were on our breaks I would go over and talk to them happily and we would talk about the growing economy and about urban legends.
I one shifted as the waiter, however that didn't really last long.
When Mary and Yumi were done baking a delicious soup they pointed to where I needed to deliver the order to, I glance to there and saw the man, I smiled my hands gripped the soup happily as I walked over to the individual, when I was going to greet him however my face turned entirely white, it was Oni Mantis, the guy who had mugged me and Victor all those days ago, I thought he had left for Europe why did he come back, was he after me, did he figure out I had more money then before, why couldn't I move, my feet were completely stuck to the ground, I could only look at the man in shrunk fear, why did god have to torture me like this, just when I was having fun something like this happens to me. Our eyes then met, Oni turned around and looked at me, his hand laying on his knee, I swallowed my own saliva, 'your order, sir', I said slowly and steadily placing it on the table, I awaited for his response. He just nodded, and I swore I heard him mutter thank you, before turning back and started eating his food, relief washed over me as I turned and walked to Mary and Yumi, a part of me wanted to just brush this off and pretend it didn't happen but I couldn't, the guy was here, I couldn't just let him get away with what he did, he didn't just steal my money he also stole some of Victor's cash, I couldn't let him get away with that, when I met with Yumi and Mary I would tell them about what had happened a few days ago and pointed at the man in their restaurant, they were both shocked on hearing this, I assumeg somd that Victor must have told them a while ago because they immediately identified his name. I asked for Yumi to go and inform a guard about his whereabouts, while me and Mary would stay here to avoid suspicion, she nods and runs out, and then for the next few minutes we both tried to continue our work here without alerting the outlaw of our presence. However I wasn't that worried about myself, rather I was worried about Victor, he was still in this building, and Oni had only manage to take some of his money, what if he wants to take the rest, and then there's Mary, I wonder if he may end up doinething to her now that he's back in town, that means all my other friends may be at risk as well. A few minutes have passed and Yumi still hasn't come back, just then I notice that Oni was preparing to leave, I couldn't just let him walk out again, so to buy us some time I go over and offer him one of our special orders a rice cake dessert, he said he accepted, he reached in his pocket and took out a wad of money, and handed it to me, I realize then, 'This was My money', he didn't even spent it, I huff but kept my words to myself, and went to make that order I promised.
Before long the town guard would finally come in through the door, he was pointed by Yumi where the bandit was, and without a spare of words he walked over and grabbed the thief. Oni made no struggle with the officer and let him walk out of the building, a huge wave of relief washed over me seeing him gone. With that business went normal as usual that whole day, by the end of it, both the girls thanked me for assisting them in their dream, I gushed.
No words could describe what I say, they then decided to hand me a soft reward only, well.
Well let's keep that to myself okay, hehe.
With all the adventures that I had here, I really made some fond memories, memories that aren't gonna just fade away, but.
I knew I couldn't delay the choice any longer, for better or worse.
I made my choice, I took it.
I was moving to the western region of Arizona.
To become a cowboy.
