Chapter 01
Raeger gave his first sigh in the morning due to a heavy rain they got that day. It was almost 11 in the morning but he already guessed that his restaurant will have less customers for today since rain always makes people too lazy to leave home anyway.
He moved himself closer to a window where he was planning to clean it up when he saw a young woman figure outside of his restaurant, searched something between bushes without umbrella at all or a rain coat.
"Really. What is she doing?" Raeger asked himself while watching that farmer. A moment later, he could see a gleaming smile of her as if she found something valuable.
It was not the first time he saw her in front of his restaurant, looking for something at bushes, but many times. He only observed her, be it sunny, rainy, or even hurricane, she would always came in front of his restaurant to search something between bushes. He never asked her. No, they barely talked to each other since Minori also rarely came to the restaurant. Wait, she never came before except the day she first move to Oak Tree Town. Raeger knew that she was the only one after Fritz who had never eaten at his restaurant.
"It's not like I set the prize too high..." He murmured to himself, wondering.
It was not like as if they're strangers to each other because the farmer would greet him when they met on streets or trading depots. They also met each other when the town held festival days where they would chat for a bit, a mere standard conversation, such as "What's up?". But that's all and they would part ways when leaving the festival ground.
As he watched the farmer walked further away, he could see another farmer coming her way to his restaurant. Elise. What will it be for today? He thought that by himself. He doubted that Elise will order some foods from him since Elise had her own maids in her mansion who will cook for her.
"Cling. Cling." The bell that he put on his door made the first sound for today.
"Welcome to the restaurant." Raeger put his best smile to greet his first customer for that day. He tried to be as friendly as he could to any of his customer, whenever it was. "It's a rare occasion to see you here, Elise. What can I do for you?"
"Good morning, Raeger. There's something I'd like to talk to you about." Elise returned the smile to him but quickly back to her normal self, full of pride.
"Oh?" Raeger then stood still for a moment before offering another smile. "Sure. Please have a seat."
Hello. Thank you for reading this short chapter. No, really. I want to make it as short as possible so I don't get stuck on the plot later (I hope). By the way, it's not like Raeger is my favorite bachelor, but well, I believe the interactions between him and Minori are quite important since the existence of restaurant really helpful in the game (rather than going to clinic when Minori is running out of stamina). I just imagined how will he thought about Minori later on, but oh well, just keep it for later. Oh, I beg your pardon for my English. I'm not a native speaker so I have no idea how to translate the gestures I wanted to tell you about. :D
