Chapter 1440 – 1440. The Dark Moon
[You have chosen the Dark Moon.]
[The game begins.]
“…….”
I sat blankly on the sofa.
I think I took a nap for about an hour, but it feels like I woke up after sleeping for dozens of hours.
I checked the time and got up. I had work to do today. I put on my coat and came down to the first floor.
I ran into a silver-haired maid carrying a laundry basket. The maid outfit suits her very well, and when she ran into me, she grinned.
“Looks like you’re leaving. When are you coming back? I will prepare the meal on time.”
“I will be back before 7.”
When I saw the laundry basket she was holding, I felt embarrassed. Because my underwear and hers were tangled in the laundry basket. In particular, her underwear had a lot of designs that made me wonder if it was underwear.
“I will prepare dinner at that time. Please go.”
After coming out, I got into the carriage and headed for Area R. When I arrived at Area R, I walked down the street on my own two feet.
District R was a downtown area. It is a downtown area frequently used by the middle and lower classes. I rented a shop in an alley in this R district.
‘I can’t help it. The shopping district in R area is so popular that it doesn’t sell very well.’
The shopping mall I happened to find was so filthy expensive that I couldn’t afford it. The only reasonable thing was this store in the alley.
The store was under construction. Hired workers were changing the interior of the store.
The size of this store in the back of the alley was small. It’s only about 5-6 sqm. If you separate the kitchen and the hall, it will feel smaller than that.
‘It’s my store.’
When I saw the store, I was deeply moved.
All preparations were completed in an instant. The commercial license was dropped immediately thanks to the broker asking the public official to pay the money.
The store sign has not been put up yet, but the store name has already been decided.
‘Yoo-Yoo Chicken.’
Eugene’s Yu. YuRia’s Yu. Together, they are Yuyu Chicken.
‘I wouldn’t have been able to sell chicken without Yuria.’
The most important thing in the chicken business is the taste of the chicken, but I had no talent for cooking. When I made fried chicken with a recipe I knew roughly, it tasted like garbage. After that, I tried several times, but it ended up throwing away the chicken.
It was Yuria who stepped out at that time.
‘Thanks to Yuria’s help, I was able to finish the chicken.’
Not only fried chicken, but also seasoned chicken. I plan to focus on these two.
‘All I have to do at the chicken shop is to fry the chicken the way Yuria taught me.’
At the oil temperature YuRia told her about, she grills the chicken for as long as YuRia told her. You just have to do it well. The brine of the chicken and the seasoning sauce were to be handled by Yuria for the time being.
I didn’t know how to do the salted or seasoned part, but I wasn’t good at it. I obviously saw her do it and did the same, but her taste was slightly different.
‘I can’t leave everything to YuRia, who is made. I’m doing this business.’
I don’t think I’m just saying thank you. I plan to pay her a portion of the profits from selling her chicken.
‘Still, I have to get YuRia’s help until the factory is in normal operation.’
I wasn’t going to be satisfied with this little shop. My goal is a franchise.
‘It should taste the same as other stores. A factory is essential for that. I have to marinate the chicken in the factory or make a seasoning sauce and serve it to the franchise store.’
If my business is successful, I will make a lot of money. And a lot of money will make me an aristocrat.
It seemed that a rosy future was unfolding before my eyes.
“Are you running a chicken house?”
As I was about to lose my thoughts, someone called me.
He was a middle-aged man in a yellowed T-shirt. I knew a man
John Clark. It was the man who owned the fish and chips shop across from mine. He smiles and comes to me. It smelled of oil. It was unpleasant.
“Yes. It is a chicken house.”
“I don’t like frying… Are you going to go head-to-head with my store?”
“… They sell fish and chips, and I sell chicken. They don’t even overlap, so what’s the problem?”
“It’s the same tempura. Well, that’s a joke I’m not too worried. Do you know why?”
“Why?”
“Neo Londoners don’t like chicken.”
John grinned. His teeth were made of steel. He’s not a cyborg, he’s just reinforced by replacing his teeth with iron. In this world, this much is really nothing.
“…….”
“Well, do your best. It will be three months at the most.”
He turned and went into his shop.
Citizens of Neo London don’t like chicken. That’s right. Didn’t I, who opened a chicken restaurant, do market research?
‘The chicken in this world is so greasy and tasteless. If you eat chicken, you eat fish and chips. To the extent that there is a saying.’
But the chicken I’m making and selling is Korean-style chicken that Neo London has never had before.
‘Korean-style chicken is edible. I am 100% sure.’
After passing a drink to the construction workers, I walked around. There was no store that could be dangerous to my store.

After finishing the request to punish the bullies, he went to the manpower station and said that he would not be accepting requests for the time being.
“Okay? Too bad. In the meantime, your stock price was going up. These days, there are a lot of people looking for things to nominate you for.”
Rose picked up her cigarette with her right mechanical arm and held it to her mouth. His dark hair slips down her shoulders. She had a tattoo of a black rose on her right neck. Beneath her, her cleavage was faintly visible through her unbuttoned shirt. I tried to look away from her and focus on her face.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been active, but I’m already known?”
“He’s a 5th-class wizard who can handle things. None of the 12 missions failed. It’s just starting to make a name for itself.”
“It was an easy mission.”
“It doesn’t look like it to other people. And speak straight Dealing with the Palace family was a bit too much for you, wasn’t it?”
“…….”
Recalled memories of the past. The Palace Family was a mafia organization from outside. It was a bit difficult to deal with.
“I am becoming famous as a free mage. If you continue to receive requests and trade as you are now… In a year or two, you can be a tycoon.”
“Tell me again. We are not accepting requests for the time being.”
“Because of that chicken house? Was it Yu-Yoo Chicken? You’re doing something very inappropriate. I don’t understand, but what’s wrong with a 5th grade wizard doing a chicken restaurant?”
“The chicken house is just the beginning. To make your business more prosperous… One day I will advance to the center.”
“You have a big dream. Do you want to become a noble like that?”
“Because there are many things you can do when you become a noble.”
“Then wouldn’t it be better to do this? If you do the quest, you will be able to become a noble faster. You are a 5th level wizard.”
“If I become a noble like that, other nobles will ignore me. After all, I’m just a noble from a mercenary background with only magic.”
“It will happen when you become stronger.”
“To be properly treated in aristocratic society, you must be at level 8. Do you think I can make it to the 8th grade?”
“…….”
Rose shut her mouth.
In this world, from the 7th grade, it is called the stage of superhuman. That didn’t mean that level 7 was rare. If you look carefully, you can easily find about 7th grade. However, from level 8 onwards, it was really rare. No one can easily talk about level 8.
“… Well, good Your will is firm, so I won’t stop you. Doesn’t that mean you won’t accept requests forever?”
“When money is urgent or when I can afford it, I will receive a request. And if so… It would be better if the quest was related to magic as a reward. The elixir isn’t bad either.”
“OK. I’ll call you when something happens.”
She shredded all her papers on her desk. It was the documents with the request written on it.
The story was over, so I got up from my seat.
“For a moment. I’m really curious… Why the hell are you doing something like a chicken house? You are a 5th level wizard.”
I am familiar with this world. But that was about the game setup. I don’t know the details of how this world works.
So are wizards. Wizards in this world are more famous for their research jobs. There was no reason for a wizard to be in charge of battle in a city where civilization was developed.
‘But the only mages in this world I know are battle mages. After all, the most important thing in the game was the battle.’
Besides that, I don’t know much about how people in this world live, what food they eat, and what kind of clothes they wear.
Lacking basic common sense, I was limited in what I could choose as a business. And among them, chicken was the only item that seemed to have the highest chance of success.
“Because I like chicken.”
“Is that so? When the store opens, come and bring the chicken. I will properly evaluate how tasteless it is.”
“I’ll have a regular customer.”
“Ha, ahead of time, I have a pickier appetite than you think.”
Know.
Her true identity is an aristocrat.
But will it be more picky than my taste?
“Give a coupon for one chicken. If you collect 10 coupons, you get one free chicken. Collect coupons well.”
“It’s a coupon, it’s nabal, and if it’s not tasty, I’ll spit it out on the spot.”

Kidney opening!
The day has finally come.
I came to the store early in the morning and looked around. My heart was trembling because it was my first time running a store. After cleaning the store yesterday, I cleaned the shop once again without any dust, put on a sanitary cap and apron, and went inside.
In the refrigerator, there are pre-brined chicken and secret seasoning sauce made by Yuria. Pour golden cooking oil into the fryer and increase the temperature. In addition, they also check drinks such as cola and beer.
No problem.
9:30 am.
The door opened 30 minutes before opening and someone came in. She was a young brown-haired woman.
Karel Orising.
Part-timer hired for today. Hall will be in charge. A part-time job in charge of the kitchen will be obtained when the household income is somewhat stable.
“You’re not late, are you?”
“You came just in time. Just put on an apron, please.”
He handed over an apron with “Yuyu Chicken” Written on it. She put on her apron and waited in silence. 30 minutes left until opening.
“… Would you like to try some chicken?”
“Oh, no. Some chicken in the morning….”
I realize again that I do not have a good perception of chicken from her disgusted voice.
I laughed quietly. She must have come thinking that she is a part-time worker with no customers because it is a chicken restaurant…. Now I will be busy without a bird to open my eyes.
‘I think I’m paying more than my hourly wage for no reason.’
I had a moderate chat with her and opened her shop at 10 o’clock.
A 20% discount event was also held as an opening event.
