My name is Rorone.
I am the acting manager of the Patisserie Fairy Fairy.
Although we’ve already selected our employees, at the moment, the only ones present in this pre-opening store are me and the angel assistants.
Oh, I almost forgot, the spiderling-sans.
Spiderling-sans have been specially dispatched to serve as the store’s security.
They’re... rather unique.
And by unique, I mean they are exceptionally skilled at hiding.
Even though they’re about the size of a large pot, you wouldn’t notice them unless they wanted you to.
If they don’t move or reveal themselves, they’re practically invisible.
And then, there’s their combat ability.
They can make and harden short webs into needle-like projectiles.
And when they fire these tiny needle-like webs in rapid succession, they can pierce through iron targets with ease.
Since the attack is completely silent, it looks as if holes are appearing in the target on their own.
Truly dependable.
Their species is called Snipe Spiders.
According to Versa-sama, they’re an evolved form of the Hanging Spider, which specializes in web control.
These little ones are an essential part of our store.
When I introduced them as such, one of the angel assistants raised her hand.
Oh? A question?
Also, you don’t have to raise your hand.
...You want to know how many Snipe Spiders are stationed in the store?
Ehto, they rotate shifts between here and Big Tree Village, but at any given time, there are usually six to eight of them in the store.
Their attack range?
I’ve heard they can strike targets from quite a distance with pinpoint accuracy...
Ah, look—one of them is demonstrating.
From the store entrance, they’ve just hit that tiny, rotting branch way off in the distant forest.
See how it looks like it melted away?
Impressive, isn’t it?
Yes, exactly.
While I’m incredibly grateful for their presence, I sincerely hope they never have to use their skills in a real situation.

The employees have finally arrived at the store.
We have three male and seven female patissiers.
One male and four female sales staff.
Fifteen in total.
The reason they arrived later was because they were all preparing to move out.
Although this shop is located at the foot of Village Five and is surrounded by nothing, it is still possible to commute from where they were previously staying.
After all, if the location were truly inaccessible, it would be difficult for customers to visit as well.
However, the employees all requested to use their commuting time for work instead, so village chief arranged for staff dormitories to be included within the building.
The second floor and part of the third floor serve as living quarters.
It’s not particularly large, but the second floor has two baths—one for men and one for women.
Since they aren’t big enough for everyone to bathe at once, they’ll have to take turns.
There’s also a dining hall on the second floor, where I’ll be eating as well.
The meals will be prepared by the patissiers, taking turns on a rotating schedule.
I debated hiring a dedicated cook, but the patissiers themselves insisted they would do it as a form of relaxation.
......
You’ll bake cakes as your job, and then cook as a way to unwind?
If it gets too difficult, please let me know as soon as possible.
I can cook, and if necessary, I’ll find a way to hire a professional.
