I Think It’s Okay Not To Worry About The Small Details

(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)

“What do you mean…?” (Resident)

“U-uh, no way…” (Resident)

“The curry shop… has disappeared?” (Resident)

The sales for the final day of the tournament finally began. However, the customers who had rushed to the fifth area stood there in stunned silence. This was because, by the end of the fourth day, the curry stand that was leading the rankings and had become the talk of the town had somehow vanished along with the entire stand.

“Where on earth did that curry shop go!?” (Resident)

That curry stand was located not far from the fifth area.

“Alright, alright, line up, line up! There’s enough for everyone! If you don’t line up, you won’t get to eat!” (Leon)

At Leon’s loud voice, people dressed in ragged clothes hurriedly formed a line. Though they had never stood in line before, they were compelled by the strong, appetizing aroma to form an impressively neat line, surprising even the soldiers.

Satisfied with the situation, Leon began serving curry onto plates.

“Are you seriously giving this away for free!?” (Resident)

“Amazing! Thank you so much!” (Resident)

“You’re the best!” (Resident)

“R-really, it’s okay to eat? We don’t have any money…” (Resident)

“It’s fine. Today is special.” (Leon)

That was right. Leon had now moved the entire stand to this slum area. Since it was not a mobile food cart, he had stored it in an item box and brought it along. Of course, his intention was to serve curry for free to the slum residents who had been driven out from the fifth area.

“Hah, we’re definitely going to be overtaken now…” (Leon)

““…Hmm.”” (Meltera/Silvia)

“Well, don’t worry about it. I’m not aiming to become a chef. Even if I don’t get the prize money, I can just earn from adventurer jobs again.” (Leon)

““Hmm!”” (Meltera/Silvia)

Meltera gave him an exasperated look.

“You’re unexpectedly kind, huh.” (Meltera)

“Not unexpected at all, I was a person who saved the world in my previous life, after all.” (Leon)

“Oh, that’s right.” (Meltera)

By then, the line had easily exceeded five hundred meters in length. The end of the line could not be seen. To reduce waiting time as much as possible, Leon served curry at a frantic pace.

“D-delicious!” (Resident)

“I’ve never eaten anything this delicious!” (Resident)

“Yippee!” (Resident)

Voices of praise rose one after another from the residents who tasted Leon’s curry.

“Don’t eat in front of the stand! After receiving your plate, move to the back of the stand to eat! And once finished, leave quickly! Hey, you there! Don’t try to grab extra! You can have seconds, but you must rejoin the line from the back! No cutting in line!” (Leon)

As too many people gathered around the stand, Leon raised his voice to control them. However, many refused to leave even after finishing eating, so the crowd threatened to overflow soon.

“Meltera, can you do something about this?” (Leon)

“Fufufu! Leave it to me!” (Meltera)

Curious about what she would do, Meltera used earth magic and created a large number of small golems.

“Whoa, what’s that!? Golems!?” (Resident)

“We’re getting pushed…?” (Resident)

Though called small, each was about the size of an adult man, and they forcibly pushed the people who had finished eating out. Thus, for an entire day, they continuously fed a huge amount of curry to the slum residents… and by evening, it was all eaten up. The sudden disappearance of Leon’s stand on the final day caused a major uproar.

Various theories circulated, but the leading one was that rival shops had attacked or kidnapped him. The tournament organizers had already started an investigation. However, Leon had no knowledge of this and visited the food guild, where the tournament headquarters was set up, to report the final results.

“W-wait, Leon-san!? You’re safe!?” (Organizer)

“Huh?” (Leon)

“No, ‘huh’ isn’t the response! Your stand suddenly disappeared on the last day and caused a big fuss! Where were you and what were you doing!?” (Organizer)

“Well… the sales exceeded expectations, and I completely ran out of ingredients. I tried hard to procure more, but in the end, I couldn’t make it in time.” (Leon)

“I see… It’s understandable. It’s your first appearance and such sales… it’s no wonder you couldn’t predict it.” (Organizer)

It was better not to mention that he was giving away free servings in the slum. Fortunately, the plausible lie he told satisfied the organizers.

“Huh? But then, why did you take the entire stand with you…?” (Organizer)

“I think it’s okay not to worry about the small details.” (Leon)

“In the end, the final rank was thirteenth.” (Organizer)

The next day, the tournament’s final results were announced. Leon placed thirteenth. He had been first after the fourth day, but on the final day, he was overtaken all at once.

“Well, considering the sales on the final day were zero, this is still a good effort.” (Leon)

Although he missed out on placing within the top eight and earning a prize, Leon felt no regrets. Many people had enjoyed the food he made. That was what gave him the greatest satisfaction after all.

“Maybe I should just become a real chef after all?” (Leon)

“Wha- are you serious!?” (Meltera)

“Ehh? Since we’re at it, let’s travel to many different places!” (Silvia)

“I’m joking, I’m joking.” (Leon)

While Meltera and Silvia protested strongly,

““…”” (Meltera/Silvia)

If it meant eating delicious food every day, even the food-loving twins looked like they might be okay with it.
