Day after day, I became exhausted from being dragged into half-hearted cases and evil acts clearly committed by demons. And then, I saw it.
Behind the store’s window was a smiling boy.
He was as radiant and lovely as an angel.
At that time, I happened to be on a mission with a subordinate. Aldo let out an “ah” sound.
“That’s Canaan-kun <sup>1</sup> , a recently hired worker. Thanks to him, business is booming at that cafe.”
“Canaan… Even his name is so cute…”
“… Seriously. This superficial man is falling in love at first sight…”
“Did you say something?”
“No, nothing.”
Canaan, Canaan-kun.That’s a fitting name for that appearance. I keep wanting to chant his name.
I want to come in. I want to talk to you.
“Ummm, just to let you know, entering as is might be…”
Driven by my desires, I entered the store without pausing to listen to my subordinate’s words.
“Welcome—”
—Just as the broad smile bloomed on his face, his expression froze. Then he started trembling and turning pale with a shiver.
It was the first time in my life that I had seen such a reaction, and I was taken aback. Then my subordinate, who had arrived shortly after me, hurriedly whispered, ‘Weapon! Weapon!!’
Damnit. I came here with my bayonet still slung over my shoulder and silver knives and explosives strapped to my waist and legs. I want to cover my face in shame for exposing such a vicious appearance in front of an angel, and on top of that, scaring him.
My first impressions will undoubtedly be poor.
As expected, he averted his gaze and bit his lip tightly. Then, he fought against his fear and said with a trembling voice,
“Please take a seat…”
“Ah…”
And then, he went straight to the kitchen with a swoosh.
Now I regret it more than ever.
My subordinate pats my shoulder as if to comfort me. Since I couldn’t just go home like this, I sat down with him. Soon after, other staff members came over right away.
They seemed accustomed to weapons and don’t show any signs of concern about my equipment. Of course, that’s understandable. Such equipment falls within the scope of self-defense in normal life. However, there is only one reason why he overreacted so excessively
“I was expecting that after seeing his appearance and atmosphere, but he’s been really well taken care of up until now, don’t you think?”
“Yeah…”
It was probably precisely because he had been raised in a greenhouse. He was only working here for some reason now…
“Does that mean now is my chance? I guess my luck is extremely good…”
“Very positive.”
I ordered the daily lunch set at this shop for now. It was delicious. Later, I found out that the dessert that comes with the daily lunch set was handmade by the angel himself. I have no choice but to come here every day. To be able to eat handmade dishes by an angel just by paying for it, this world truly is a paradise.

1 Changed Mc’s name to Canaan, apparently it’s a name that derived from Bible meaning “humble” or “subdued,” and can also mean “merchant.”
