The Great Sage Who Returned from Another World Wants to Live Quietly - Chapter 36

The shop on the map Yuikuu sent me was in a warehouse off the main road in a government designated port city near the Lithomanmari trade association.

As I arrive at a park near the spot, the smell of the tide fills my nose and the surroundings begin to be shrouded in twilight.

According to the clock in the park, it’s almost five in the afternoon.

I thought they would aim for the opening provided by teleportation magic but my pursuer simply watched from afar.

I watch the trade ship docked in the port as I walk but nothing changes.

I arrive at the front of the store to find a sign written in strong brush strokes,

[Maid(Underworld) Cafe Scorching Hell]1

What a suspicious sign.

――Did Yuikuu make it I wonder?

The store itself looked like a stylish cafe remodeled from a warehouse but,

“That name would make you hesitate to come in”

I take a deep sigh.

Suppressing the urge to go home, I open the door,

“Welcome back, Master!”

A maid with horns like an oni and chestnut hair comes up to me with a smile on her face. Inside the store is around ten tables plus counter seating and a number of women in similar maid outfits.

It has the same atmosphere as the maid cafes I’ve researched online so it’s safe for now,

Translator’s Notes:

1: The word for underworld is meido.

2: The japanese equivalent of the saying ‘the customer is always right’
