I'm OP but begin an Inn

◇◆◇◆◇CPOV=change in POV(point of view)

How were the people who came to take the test?

In addition to the people I've introduced to you.

『Industrial espionage.』

『The Man Who Dreamed of a Brave Man Saving the World.』

『You're the coolest, most misunderstood guy in the world』

『The Evil Dragon Who Saw the End of the World.』

『The mother I never knew』

『The self-proclaimed King of the Pirates of the Seven Seas』

『Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Watch Over Goddesses.』

『"The King of a Kingdom..."』

『commoner A』

『One God』

There were a lot of guys who didn't have a shortage of topics to talk about, but the exam ended with almost no problems. In one day.

So what did I do for another day, except for the test day and today I kept worrying about who to hire.

After a whole day of worrying, when we finally came to a conclusion, the morning sun was peeking through.

◇◆◇◆◇

「Phew, They're all such good people, I couldn't decide who to go for. .....」

I dressed up and went out of the inn because the outside of the inn suddenly came alive. There, unlike the last time the candidates were firmly lined up.

I feel like the number is a little small.

……。

……。

Oh, because the person who was forced to leave the venue and His Majesty's party were missing. I didn't think the number of people would drop to a little over 1,500 when you take out the people who were forced to leave. It may be quite a miscalculation.

「Good morning, you're all early. The soldiers of the castle are also working hard from early in the morning. The guild is ...... Oh, you've encouraged to line up in the back, thank you very much. 」

After all, the chaos of two days ago seems to have been bad. At first, the guild had prepared a certain number of people in anticipation of a certain number of applications but the number of people they had prepared exceeded what they could handle. You can see that ririka being buried among people.

This time, they seem to have borrowed a group of knights from the castle to deal with the situation. As expected of the guild master, he's not half bad at his job.

「Alright, now that the time is running out I think it's time to make an announcement.」

I coughed out a cough,

「Ladies and gentlemen, Thank you for taking the test to become an employee of our inn. Now, I'd like to announce the persons we'll be hiring! 」

I began to speak slowly.

◇◆◇◆◇CPOV

The air around the inn changed drastically when the innkeeper 『Carla』, spoke up. The corner in front of the inn, which should have had a somewhat fluffy atmosphere before became tense, as if we were dealing with a giant demon.

「Well, I'm pleased to announce that I'm hiring ...... as an employee this time is Exam number 1250, 『Ms. Carmine Sylves.』」

Wow!! There was a roar.

“Carmine Sylves!?” The name surprised even me. No way, that 'Carmine'

I didn't realize that "Sylves" was being tested. ......

I'm sure that the people around here are probably feeling the same way I am. Some of them exclaimed, "Sylves!?" in a surprised voice. That would be probably true, too. ......

Carmine Sylves, adventurer from Erencia, the northernmost city of the Imperial Domain. She can use both swords and magic and despite having a high level of power and accuracy in both, she's never been able to reach the top level earning her the nickname [Dexterity Poverty]. she's reasonably useful if you have one in your party but if you go to a place where demons are strong, such as Clan Reed she's a poor soul who instantly becomes detested.

A B-level adventurer, by the way. (You're probably getting a sense that I'm not being top-notch here either)

Well, if you don't think about going to Clan Reed. she is a young 25 year old female adventurer who is secretly very popular because of her good looks. ――

「What? 」

Well, the person who was chosen is a bit flustered by the sudden attention.

I was looking at the woman fumbling a few meters away from me and inwardly I was raising my opinion of her.

◇◆◇◆◇

After the announcement, the buzz didn't quite die down, with some trying to leave because they hadn't been accepted others analysing those who had passed, some sharing their opinions on each and others trying to ask why they hadn't been accepted. Some of them may have gone berserk, I don't know the details but there were even some who were seized by the knights.

In the midst of all this...

「Everyone, please be quiet. I’m not done with the announcement yet? 」

The tension returned in the words that Carla-dono spoke. The buzzing silenced like a lie and now you could even hear the sound of a needle falling to the ground a few hundred meters away.

Yes, all of us who were buzzing around thought on our own that there was only one person who was recruited....... But in fact, it wasn't.

With the words of carla-dono, the eyes of those who had given up have regained their vigour.

「Now, I am pleased to announce two more recruits.」

Two more ....... The words caused a momentary ripple in the silence. The confident ones smiled, the less confident ones looked in despair and listened for the name that would be called next.

Now two more, is my name in there? I'm suddenly getting worried.

「 First of all...

Examinee number 586, 'Rique Adolph Berkson Milredia Casven.

And...

Examinee No. 2, 'Luca Zukunft,' we will hire the above」

In an instant, more buzz exploded than before.

Employer Announcement.

The series wasn't originally planned to be that long.

I am pleased to announce.

Oh no, I've added three more characters! What will happen?

See you in the next episode.
