In the village of spirits, I asked Nomos to build a restaurant, a general store, a money exchange office, and an inn for children. In between, we found out that Nomos was a tsundere who loved children, but we would like to pretend that we did not know that.

After dinner, we were relaxing in the living room when Belle told us that Sylphy had returned. Everyone in the living room goes out to greet her.

"Hey, guys. Did you come to greet me?

"Yes, Belle told me Sylphy came back. It seemed quite late, did you have a hard time finding a spirit to come?"

"I'm sure it was hard to find them because they were in a bit of a strange place, but they were also asking me a lot of questions and that made me late," he said. And these girls were carrying luggage, so they flew too slow. I'm sorry."

Sylphy says with a wry smile. It was a bit of a hard day for him. But a genie with a package... I guess it's a cooking tool, judging from the way it looks. It seems to be an unusual type of spirit.

"I see. Well, so these ...... spirits are going to open a store in the village of spirits?"

"Yes, I do. I'll introduce you.

"Sylphy's sister, if you want to introduce yourself, do it yourself!"

As Sylphy was about to introduce everyone, a girl with red hair and very short hair interrupted. She is slender but looks like an energetic junior high school student. She looks like she belongs to an athletic club. And what's an older sister?

"Yeah? Then each of you introduce yourselves."

"Thank you, Sylphy's sister. You must be Yuta, the master of this sanctuary. I'm the best cook in the world! Call me Ruby of Fire! Nice to meet you!"

...... why say the name out loud. Also, I didn't get much out of it except the name, the fire spirit, and the fact that you are a cook.

"I'm Emerald, I'm the one to get the ingredients in the forest! Call me Emme, the food procurer! Call me Emme, please!"

A girl of about junior high school age with green hair and a bob cut. She seems cheerful, too, but her self-introduction is thin. And why does she introduce herself so loudly?

"My name is Sapphire. Please call me Saffy. And I was mainly in charge of gathering food at the water's edge.

This girl talks normally. I still feel her self-introduction is a bit thin.

"Citrine ...... can make dishes and stuff."

Is that all you got? ......A mature-looking middle-school-aged girl with brown hair. She can make tableware and stuff.

"I'm Onyx. I wonder if I'm their stopper."

The second half of the presentation seems to be getting thinner and thinner. However, this girl with long black hair looks like a junior high school student, but for some reason, she is very s*xy.

I was at a loss as to how I should react, when all five of their gazes focused on me. I should introduce myself anyway.

"Well, my name is Yuta Morizono. This sanctuary is called the Paradise of Spirits, and I guess I'm in charge of this paradise. Well, nice to meet you anyway."

""""" Pleased to meet you """""

Though their voices are different in tone, the five of them breathe perfectly together. Onyx said he was their stopper, so they might be working together on a regular basis.

"Hey, Sylphy. Are these girls friends of yours?"

"Yes, from what I've heard, they all have names of gems, and they all like to eat and drink, so they hit it off and have been together since they were intermediate spirits. By the way, they are now advanced spirits of fire, forest, water, earth, and darkness. Since they were all together, I thought it would be a good idea to bring them all here.

I see... So, a group of oddballs got together because of their names and hobbies, and now an unusual group has been formed. For a group of junior high school girls, they are quite a strong group.

"I see. But we've only built four stores, right? We have one extra person, what do you want to do?"

"After listening to me, the girls talked it over and it was agreed that Ruby would be the diner, Emme the general store, Saffi the innkeeper, Citrine the money changer, and Onyx the overall support. Onyx wants to do the bar when it's built, but the bar is very popular, so who knows what will happen."

"...... I see. Don't be too hard on yourself about the bar."

Sylphy looked tired for a moment. Perhaps this discussion was one of the reasons why it took so long. Is the owner of the bar so popular ...... well, I guess it's because I'm planning to have a drink too.

"Hey boss! Is it true that you can use all kinds of seasonings you want? Are you going to give us the recipes that are popular in the labyrinth city right now? How many ingredients do you have? A lot? Can I cook a lot of food?"

Ruby asks a lot of questions. Like Mr. Torque, it seems that people who like to cook can't resist hearing about new recipes and ingredients. It would be great if we could get Mr. Torque and Ruby together. But most importantly, what did you just call me?

"Uh, Ruby. Let's just calm down. I guess the first question is, why did you call me boss?"

"What? I called you boss because you're the boss. You're in charge of this paradise, right?"

Ruby turns her face to me. I see, in her mind, the one in charge is the boss.

"No? Would you prefer the master?"

......It's just that the Western way of calling them has changed to the Japanese way. Well, it doesn't matter if it's Western or Japanese style, since it's probably a translation of the language of this world. Maybe there are differences in the way of calling and nuance in different regions in this world.

I'm not in charge, but I'm a normal human being and I don't have the authority to give orders to spirits, so I don't like to be called "boss" or "bossy". Just call me Yuta."

"Nmm, I'm Yuta's brother. Is that okay?"

......I thought at first that these kids were some kind of a group like Sentai, but maybe they are more like tekiya or something like that. They call Sylphy "Sis" too, and they seem to feel uncomfortable unless they attach something to each other. ...... Well, I guess it doesn't matter if he's my brother.

If you ignore the fact that he is definitely older than me and the pain of having a junior high school girl call him big brother, it's probably the most decent thing to do.

"Yuta is fine, but if you have a hard time calling me that, you can just call me bro."

"Nice to meet you, Yuta's brother! So what's the seasoning? Recipe? Can I make a lot of them?"

...... I'm starting to feel a little premature. Maybe I should have asked him to call me out as normal somehow.

"I think I have most of the seasonings. I'll give you all the recipes I've given to the cooks in the labyrinth city. I don't have a problem with you wanting to cook a lot of food, but the ingredients are limited, so I'd appreciate it if you'd be considerate of our guests."

If I can cook a large amount of food, I can store it in my magic bag, but if I don't have some restraints, I'll be making a lot of food and will be forced to go to the Labyrinth City frequently to buy more ingredients when I run out.

"Well, if we have a lot of customers, we can cook a lot of food. Hey, Yuta's brother, show us the seasonings and ingredients. What do you have?"

......Since she said eating was her hobby, Ruby has Emme, Saffy, Citrine and Onyx attached to her back, listening to her story. ...... Onyx, you called yourself a stopper, right? I hope she will fulfill her role.

"Yuta, Beru and the others say hello too!"

Oh, maybe they got tired of waiting, but Belle and Fukuchan and the others have intruded. It's a complete mess. The Belles stormed into the Rubies and started to introduce themselves. They call me Belle-boy, but Belle is a girl.

"Hey, master. What are we supposed to do?

Gina asks me what to do, but I have no idea what to do because I have no initiative.

"Well, I can introduce you later, or you can just jump in there.

"......Sheba's going there, we're going there too. It would be a hassle to ask for another introduction.

Gina took Sarah and the others and jumped in among the noisy spirits. I would have given up, but ...... people in this world have guts. They started talking happily. They fit in quickly.

I watch the spirits and Gina and the others fussing around for a while. I think it's time to stop.

"Look, it's late today, you'll have to wait until tomorrow. Yuta and the others are human beings, you have to take that into consideration. So Yuta, is their store finished?"

I was about to stop her, but Sylphy calmed her down first. I can count on her.

"Only the exterior is finished. The inside will be done after we get the opinion of the spirits who will run the store. Also, I've made rooms for the girls even though there's nothing in them. I thought there would be four of them, so there are only four rooms. ......"

"We'll ask Nomos to add another room. Let's leave our luggage in the store for now and rest, I'll take Ruby and the others."

Sylphy claps her hands and declares that the day is over. Sylphy is totally in charge of the paradise.

Above all, the difference between the last time Nomos and the others brought the brewery staff to the brewery and the way they treated them is astounding. I greeted them but all I got from them was that they were brewery workers. I still don't know the names and attributes of the spirits who work at the brewery.

Well, there were 30 of them, so I couldn't remember them all even if they introduced themselves one by one. I guess it helped in a way.

Sylphy leads Ruby and the others away, and I lead the little army plus Gina inside the house.

"Master! Can me and Sara help out in the cafeteria or something? I talked to Ruby and she seems to know a lot about cooking."

"Why don't you wait until you get settled? I'm sure you're busy with preparations now, and Gina and the others need to make sure the square is ready, so we'll wait until after that."

I thought Gina and Sara would be interested when the cafeteria was built, but we need the plaza to be built properly as well. It seems that the spirits will be coming to visit us sooner than expected.

"Thank you, Master. I'm aware that we are spiritists. I intend to be a great spiritist for Sheba's sake, so don't worry. I'm just a little interested in cooking.

Oh, you read my expression? It may be a problem that even my apprentice can read my facial expressions, but I'm happy to say that I now know how Gina and Sara feel.

I was worried that Gina and Sara would get tired of being a genie magician since they both seemed to enjoy cooking, but now I can train them without any worries. The work will not change much, though.
