\'Big brother, wake up!

\'Hmm, hmm? Letty?

The shaking of my body woke me up.

When I open my eyes, I see my sister Letty.

Morning comes early for the son of an innkeeper. There are many things to do, such as cleaning and preparing the inn, preparing breakfast, etc., so he has to get up earlier than the guests...

\'Wait a minute. Isn\'t it too early? The sky is still dark, right?

When I woke up and looked out the window, the city of Lubera was still in darkness.

Even though it is early in the morning for innkeepers, there is no need to get up so early that the sky is still white.

It is enough to get up just as the sun is rising and it is getting light.

Today is the day you are going to the food stall with me, isn\'t it? I told you last night to get up early to prepare the patties.

Oh, yeah, that\'s right. Today was the day to take Letty to the food stall business, which she had been unable to attend for some time.

\'...... can\'t we start at noon?

It doesn\'t matter when you open your stall, as long as it\'s during the meal time.

Since I was taking Lettie with me today, my overprotective father might get angry if I set up in the evening, but noon would be fine.

I made a tempting suggestion, but Letty denied it with a grim look on her face.

No! I\'m asking Ricotta to be my waitress in the morning! I mean, you\'re too sleepy, so you\'re just trying to delay it.

Lettie gives me a jittery look.

She is completely aware that I am sleepy now and wants me to come back later. That\'s my sister, she\'s really good.

Come on, don\'t just stand there, get up!

While I was trying to figure out how to get around the situation, Letty pulled me out of bed.

Hmmm...pulling me up...you\'re a strong man, working as an innkeeper... I wonder where such energy is in your slender body.

Letty has always been rather careless with me, but today she was strangely forceful.

\'You\'re in high spirits this morning, aren\'t you?

I\'ve never been to a food stall before.

When I ask, Letty replies with an innocent look on her face.

It seems that she was looking forward to today\'s stall.

Well, I can\'t resist any more after seeing Lettie\'s excited face like this.

\'......It\'s a hassle, but let\'s start the preparations...\'

\'\'Yes!

I\'m going to change my clothes and wash my face, go to the kitchen first.

I say this, but Letty looks at me suspiciously.

\'...... don\'t go back to sleep, okay?

I won\'t.\'

Am I that untrustworthy?

I send Letty away to get dressed and take out my usual clothes from the wardrobe.

As I take off my nightgown and start to get dressed, I suddenly feel a look at my back.

I glanced behind me and saw Lettie peeking out from the ladder entrance to the fourth floor.

\'...... Letty, I know you\'re at an age where you\'re interested in the opposite s*x, but I don\'t think it\'s a good idea to peek like that, okay? Besides, I\'m his older brother.

\'No, no, no! I just wanted to make sure you were dressed properly!

When I jokingly said this, Letty took it seriously, turned bright red in the face, and started talking fast before leaving.

I had expected her to be mature for her age, but I was surprised at her lack of knowledge in this area.

With such a reaction, I wonder if she can clean the room where the couple stayed. I would like Letty to help him if possible, but I also have a feeling that my brother would like her to be as naive as she is, so it was a bit complicated.

I hope he will be able to help me if possible.

When I went downstairs to change into my usual clothes and wash my face, I found my mother had already started to clean the table in the dining room on the first floor.

\'Good morning, mother.

Good morning, Tori. I see Letty woke you up early.

My mother giggles as she looks at me.

\'I think it\'s a little early to start preparing the stalls.

I can\'t help it, I\'ve been looking forward to it since yesterday. You should go along with him as a big brother. \'You\'ve got a bad sleeping habit, so you\'d better fix your hair as well as your face.

When Mom told me this, I touched my hair and found that it had exploded.

No wonder my mother giggles when she sees me first thing in the morning.

After saying hello to Mom, I went straight out to the garden to wash my face in the well.

As I scooped up some cold water and splashed it on my face, I felt as if my brain, which had been in a daze, was awakened. My vision becomes clearer.

However, that is my subjective opinion, and if I went out in public as it is, would I be able to renew my face properly? I\'m sure you\'ll say, "What\'s wrong with that?

After washing my face, I carefully apply water to the parts of my face where I have sleeping habits.

Yes, you will be able to fix your sleeping habit by the time you get dry.

When I entered the kitchen, my father was preparing breakfast as expected and Letty was making patties.

Father was chopping the ingredients in a rhythmical manner and Letty was mincing them with a powerful knife.

Ah, big brother...\' he says. I\'m tired of making minced meat.

As for me, I\'d rather just mix it up, but I have no choice. I decide to take over for the tired Lettie and swing the knife.

I beat the minced meat that Lettie was making. I pound the minced meat as Lettie had made it.

Dad, I\'ll take the chopped onions.

Oh!

Next door, Lettie got some onions that her father had chopped while he was at it, and she was frying them in a pan.

It was much easier to just mix the onions with a spatula.

Letty, I\'m tired, take over.

No, it\'s too early.

I knew it was a bad idea, but it was mercilessly rejected.

\'Yeah, making a hamburger itself is easy, but it\'s the making of the patties that\'s the problem.

Mincing meat for a few people is fine, but making fifty servings of this by hand is not easy. My wrist would break first.

I guess so. It might be hard to mince meat every time.

\'Let\'s not do p t , let\'s do steaks or bacon or something.

\'That sounds good too! But Carlo will be furious.

Letty\'s face lit up at my suggestion, but then she giggled as if she remembered.

That\'s right. After all the effort I put into making it, I\'d get in trouble if I stopped putting putty on it right away.

Well, it would be better to make the hamburger well-known first, even if we change the side dish in between.

The strength of the hamburger is that you can change the side dish in between, but it can\'t be helped. I should ask someone who is good at blacksmithing if he can make a tool that makes mincing easier.

I don\'t think it would be difficult to recreate a handle-type meat chopper like the ones we had in our previous life.

If you can do it, make it. I think our dwarven guest was a blacksmith.

\'Ah, the dwarf who always drinks ale in the morning.

Since he is the only dwarf staying at our house right now, I immediately thought of him.

If he is a blacksmith, he might be able to make me a meat chopper.

I\'ll ask him next time while serving ale.

\'Yeah, but it\'s a knife now, so good luck with that, bro.

I swung the knife as if to strike this spiciness into the meat.
