SUMMONED to ANOTHER WORLD

Volume 3. Chapter 14 The Talk

William and the others became very curious about the amount given.

"If I may know, how many are there?" The woman sitting next to William was very curious.

“A million gold coins,” Neii informed.

“….” They were surprised by this.

“I don't know whether I want to be grateful or not, that's clear. After a mysterious person bought all of Maya's restaurants, the kingdom's trade and finances were helped." King Ligt informed.

"How did it happen?" William was so curious.

"Our agricultural and plantation products have been ordered by him even though it is not yet harvest time," Lina informed.

"It's just that, how did he get the badge and paper stating that the palace protects the restaurant," Neii told him what he was confused about.

"He had it, but it was only displayed on the wall of the restaurant inside as decoration." King Ligt informed.

"But I heard that he also bought a restaurant that was almost bankrupt in the city of Riegos," Lina informed.

"Speaking of restaurants, how about we eat at the restaurant where my waitress Reha's sister works? He was also there helping her sister,” the woman informed.

“That's good for you, Lina. Go with Miss Jei and them... Ligt and I want to discuss something with Mr. William." Neii suggested.

Jei invited her son and her son's friends to go to the restaurant in question with the demon king Lina, using the palace horse-drawn carriage.

"Welcome caretaker," A female servant greeted Tobie.

"Bring the best menu at this restaurant, for the owner," Tobie asked the waiter to bring food and serve it to the masked man beside Tobie.

"Lord owner, follow me." Tobie invited the man to sit at an empty table.

"This restaurant is very busy." The mysterious man looked around him.

"Are they all the servants you mean, Mr. Tobie?" Saw quite a lot of servants.

"I asked the waiters in the morning and evening to come so they know the owner of this restaurant. Moreover, you also bought this restaurant from that stingy merchant. And opening up jobs on a large scale, I feel like the person with the biggest responsibility.” Tobie didn't want to make this man disappointed in him.

“Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Manager, Mr. Owner.” The waiter brought food to be served.

"Thank You." The masked man thanked the servant.

At the same time, Lina, Jei, and four teenagers arrived at Tobie's restaurant. Jei said that there was someone they had previously talked about in the palace.

“Miss Jei, and the others. You guys can wait upstairs, I'll follow.” Lina told them and asked them.

"Okay Miss Lina, we will wait for you upstairs. Come on, everyone.” Jei and the four teenagers climbed the stairs.

“….” Lina walked over to them.

The man, who was eating, stopped when he saw Tobie glance behind him. And he immediately put on a mask before Lina saw what his face looked like.

“….” Both hands covered the mask's viewing holes.

“Demon king Lina, can you take away your blocking hands?”

“Roughly speaking, ask for something with sincere words,” Lina asked.

“….” The man just remained silent.

Lina felt ignored and the atmosphere started to feel awkward.

"You never change, Prince, your attitude is so cold." Lina withdrew her hands.

"Jei is waiting for us upstairs, come on-"

“Isn't it more like you?” The man spoke so indifferently.

“Listen, Miss Lina, you and I shouldn't get close to each other. Plus, don't you like the Vail teachers?” The man began to feel uncomfortable with Lina.

“Vail, Cini, and Rii caught my attention. But you are more than them, something I didn't know was in you." Lina informed.

“Just come along, just this time. Don't make me feel embarrassed by everyone.” Lina asked the man to follow her.

"Didn't you see me eating..."

"You can order more upstairs," Lina took the man by pulling his hand.

“….” Tobie could only see the demon king Lina carrying the restaurant owner.

Lina took the masked man away. Not long after, Tobie called a waiter who would be asked to deliver the owner's food.

“Apologies, prince. So you are forced to accompany us." Jei apologizes for the actions of the demon king Lina.

“Is demon king Lina talking nonsense?” The man did not want to be called a prince.

"Absolutely nothing, we just talked to you a little about things related to trading," Jei told him what they were talking about.

"This is our meeting, I will introduce myself and also the four of them."

“My name is Jei Etalian Norm, this teenage boy is my third child. He name is Noa Et William, next to he is Rini Floran, Yua Igrase, and finally...Miss Teresa Ziasas." Jei introduced herself and the four teenagers.

The four teenagers got up from their chairs and made movements like nobles introducing themselves.

“….” Noa seemed to be looking at the masked man carefully.

“Miss Jei, sorry to keep you waiting.” Reha came with some food on a waiter's trolley and arranged each dish on the table.

“Thank you, Reha.” Jei was very grateful to her servant.

"Ah, sorry to make you work twice, can you..."

"Mr owner, Mr Tobie asked me to bring you the food you left behind." Lara comes with the masked man's abandoned food.

"Thank you," The man took the dish brought by Lara.

When he was about to eat, the waiter did not leave. Reha stood behind Jei, while Lara stood behind the masked man at Tobie's words.

"Have you two eaten yet?" The man asked Reha and Lara.

“We have our own time to eat during breaks,” Lara said.

“It would be rude if we ate together at the same table .” Reha refused the man's invitation.

"How about you? Will you eat with a mask on, prince?” Lina wanted to see what the man's face looked like.

“It's true, eating with a mask is not good behavior. Maybe I'll wear a half mask that covers half my face later.” The man informed.

"Is there a reason you wear a mask, prince?" Teresa was so curious.

“Absolutely nothing, though. It will raise a lot of questions if you remove this mask, especially the demon king Lina.” The man informed.

“To me?” Lina was very curious about what the man said.

“My face looks like one of your teachers. Miss Lina.” The man informed.

“That makes me even more curious about your confession,” Lina became more curious and curious.

"Prince, why did you buy this restaurant from a stingy merchant?" Noa was so curious.

“Constructing a building takes a long time, and that doesn't include other preparations. Moreover, buying a restaurant that has gone broke makes us drag out the buying and selling value." The man answered Noa's question.

"But why does it have to be the merchant?" Rini was so curious.

“There are three reasons. First, I didn't buy one from him. secondly, forcing him to follow the price I offered, thirdly all letters and other transfers must be approved that day." Answering Rini's question.

“And that means, three or five more days. I will ask Mr. William to make new documents regarding the ownership of several restaurants that have belonged to me in this kingdom."

"As well as asking him to make a statement such as a law regarding restaurants at Trus branches if anyone dares to do anything wrong."

"May I ask again, prince?" Teresa raised one of her hands.

“Sure...”

“Why are you selling at such a low price? Even to the point of separating each floor for each class, the first floors for the general public. The second and third floors are for nobles.” Teresa said that she wanted to know why.

"You can assume that this is being done as a way to quickly get the capital that has been spent, or to promote indirectly if there is a new restaurant with much more affordable prices." The man informed.

"But sir, what if there is— " Reha stopped her words.

"I see, that's the reason why the prince asked Mr. William to make a law. Nothing other than protection from the kingdom." Reha realized the reason behind why the man asked William to make a law.

"It's exactly what you said, Miss Reha...if they want to compete intelligently or fairly, they have to lower the market price of the amount of one plate." The man confirmed Reha's words and told them.

“Meaning, in other words. Are you deliberately lowering the selling price so that it can be reached by the lower classes?" Jei wanted to confirm her conclusion.

"That's right, Miss Jei." The man confirmed Jei's words.

"If I may know, how many restaurants and the amount you spend?" Yua was so curious.

"Prince, please forgive our friend's words." Noa didn't want to make the man feel uncomfortable with Yua's question.

"Hahaha...no need to apologize, whatever you want to ask I will answer." The man laughed and didn't mind.

"For the main branch, namely the Gerna kingdom has at least fifty, the new empire ten, and the Karta, Mans, Ega, Sebu, and Varaz kingdoms have sixty restaurants."

“And the Trus kingdom has at least thirty and they were bought from the merchant we talked about before. And that doesn't include the lodging business in every region of the kingdom and empire."

“….” They were all very surprised to hear that, except Lina.

Jei said that perhaps the market would be in the prince's hands if he wanted the world to submit.

These words made the man wearing the mask ask Jei not to say that because he didn't want to be seen as an enemy of the kingdom.

“Putting that matter aside, I heard that a match will be held soon.”

“That's true, the match will be held on the imperial territory,” Lina confirmed the man's words.

“This might be a bit late, are you still in the academy or have you graduated?” The man asked Noa, Rini, Yua, and Teresa's heads.

"We are still studying at Waerlosh Academy, Prince," Noa said.

"Maybe I will come to the tournament." The man informed.

“You will see it?!” Rini was a little excited.

“True, just don't get your hopes up. I'm going to buy the ticket, but I don't know what the future holds or whether there will be rush hours on the same day." The man informed.
