“Bring more of this!”

(The elf bangs on the desk)

No, bring it all!!

[Recommended 2025] [Not Recommended 150]

– Seriously, there’s all kinds of stuff here.

Fact: Elf posts are more than any other race’s posts.

– Honestly, I think they’re cute…

– What are you talking about, Gallum?

– Mint chocolate, love it or hate it, hurry up!

– But didn’t you not give it to the elf?

– Huh? For real, why is that there?

Fact 2: Elves say they smell like alcohol and even drink holy water.

– Oh my gosh!

– Dawl-kiaaaah!

“You guys are having so much fun.”

One week after normalizing the Waste Monsters.

The Gallery was demanding more disinfectant.

Given the nature of the Gallery, it might have been a bit excessive, but it was just funny to see them talking about food.

“It shows they care about cleanliness, right?”

As if monsters would drink disinfectant.

While I was deeply immersed in my Gallery activities, a woman with long red hair approached from afar.

Especially those indifferent golden eyes, so mystical…

It was Dragon Dragon X.

“The building construction is all done, but I wonder if it will please you.”

As confident as ever, when Dragon moved aside, a quaint two-story house came into view.

It wasn’t eye-catching, but it was also not shabby—a medieval inn with an unassuming charm.

“Perfect. Here’s the promised payment.”

“Hehe, thanks.”

Hiring Dragon as a construction worker was the best choice I made.

She cleaned up the wreckage with magic and built the structure in less than three days.

After receiving my money, she looked noticeably happy.

“I didn’t know you could do this kind of stuff.”

“Actually, this is the first time I’ve ever received money.”

“What?”

“Up until now, I was taken care of by kind humans for my basic needs.”

I had a feeling she meant the highest floor of the Magic Tower built by ZL Storm Magician.

No matter how I looked at it, it didn’t seem to be of her doing.

In fact, the highest floor of the Magic Tower was a place prepared specifically for me.

‘Now it’s just a gathering place for lost stray dragon pets.’

“So, how’s the interior?”

Dragon confidently showed off the building’s café.

The interior was satisfying as well.

True to the dragon race, she had a knack for architecture after years of boredom.

‘Though it looks like a design from a few centuries ago.’

“Equally satisfying.”

“Hehe.”

It was even better.

The café was merely a front.

I planned to hire some staff to run it casually.

As I was inspecting the interior, leaving Dragon, who oddly loved hearing my compliments, a bell rang.

“Excuse me, are you open for business?”

A shabby young woman appeared.

It seemed she got caught in the Waste Slime chaos and temporarily lost her home.

“Would you like a drink?”

“…Yes! Thank you.”

I definitely wasn’t planning to work, but feeling pity for her shivering in the cold, I decided to brew her a cup.

“Boss, what’s this?”

“It’s drip coffee. There’s only one flavor.”

Multiple menu options? Nah, none of that.

One tool, ground coffee.

In the curious gaze of the two, I poured the coffee and handed it to the woman.

“Thank you so much…”

Considering I was the only intact shop in this ruined town, I guess that was expected.

She wrapped herself in a blanket, sniffing as she clutched the coffee tightly.

Then, just as she was about to take a sip, she suddenly looked at something and her mouth dropped open.

“Huh…?”

“Hmm?”

Following her gaze, I saw a bottle of disinfectant sitting at the entrance.

The woman looked at me with trembling eyes.

“B-Boss, that…”

“Oh, yeah. Feel free to use it if you need.”

“Really? Thank you!”

In an instant, as she came out to the street, she probably hadn’t dreamt of having disinfectant to clean up.

With a brighter face, she scurried over to the disinfectant after taking a sip of her coffee.

Then, with a smile, she

poured the disinfectant into her coffee.

“?”

What’s this, are you trying to pick a fight with me?

Stunned, I stared at her as she just smiled brightly and kept bowing her head to me.

“I can’t believe you’re sharing such expensive holy water, thank you so much…!”

“But wait, what are you doing…?”

“Huh? Oh! It’s just that I’m really hungry right now…”

The woman said with an embarrassed smirk and then cheerfully exclaimed.

“I thought drinking the holy water made by Head of the Gallery would satisfy my hunger!”

“Damn.”

“Huh? Bad word.”

Faced with a response I never imagined, I let out a curse right in front of her.

*

Oddly enough, disinfectant was selling well.

They thought it was holy water, and some really did!

“I was just distracted for a moment with construction issues…”

The Gallery is like a cat.

Every post I looked into showed more absurdity than where they spent their time.

[Title: Haha, caught a criminal]

Last time, I caught a robbery suspect, and this time I made them confess with holy water.

(A meme of someone saying they’re not a robber, looking wronged)

(A meme of a suspect screaming after applying holy water to their face)

(A meme where the suspect admits they are in fact a robber, begging to stop)

Scream from the holy water from Boss’s Holy Water?

Haha, found the culprit!

[Recommended 5392] [Not Recommended 12]

– You’re a damn genius!

– Wow, is this guy a genius?

– You should just be the Emperor of the Empire lol

– I bet this is Boss’s alt account. Frustrated, so providing guidance.

“Nah, it’s not me, damn.”

[Title: Humans are all bald lol]

(A meme of spraying disinfectant into the air and smelling it)

(A meme of dipping clothes into disinfectant and taking them out)

Check out the scent; it smells just like soju, right?

It’s obviously a fashion item given for important occasions to maintain decorum, right?

And to inhale it when feeling anxious, sure it’s also appropriate to mix it into alcohol, right?

Those idiots, lol.

[Recommended 1922] [Not Recommended 3021]

– I still feel like this makes sense, though.

“Haha, can’t deny it, can you?”

– So true. I hate to say it.

(A meme of grabbing an elf’s ears)

– But why bald, you elf-ears?”

– ‘M’ awkwardness, haha.

– Do you really want to die?

“Wow…”

At this point, I couldn’t help but be amazed.

How did they even survive like this?

This was a gallery of fools or maybe a gallery of “Why hasn’t this world ended?”

[Announcement: Please read the disinfectant-related notice…jpg]

Author: Head of the Gallery*

It’s me.

Do you want to die?

Write properly.

(A meme of the back of a disinfectant with usage instructions)

Definitely do not drink or overdose on this, damn it.

[Recommended 9999+] [Not Recommended 102]

– It’s the first time I’ve seen such cursing from Boss, lol.

– Even in the beginning, he was a stand-up young man, but…

– Boss is such an idiot lol

“Trying to do well just for himself!”

“I agree! I agree!”

“Nah, it’s not me, damn.”

(A meme of lifting an elf’s ears)

– Heh heh.

Even when I personally posted a notice, it didn’t work.

Instead, they ridiculed me for being clueless.

“What on earth am I supposed to do?”

As much as I would love to ignore it, I felt like someone might actually take the disinfectant and hurt themselves or even die.

“You foolish gallery… but I still love you…”

In the end, this was my duty as the Head of the Gallery in such an absurd community.

It could even be seen as an advantage for me.

The more rational and calm the gallums were, the less fun the Gallery became.

The ticket to the Gallery’s fun was proportional to its idiot level.

“This is actually nice…”

Calmly sorting out my thoughts, I started to consider.

“What if we just don’t spray disinfectant?”

If we don’t spray it, they won’t have anything to drink.

But that wasn’t practical for the broader uses of disinfectant.

Plus, I couldn’t just keep ignoring situations like this.

After pondering for a while, I realized a solution.

“Ah.”

Strong warnings don’t seem to be very effective.

Especially with words like “absolutely,” the Gallery is even more inclined to do it.

“Would you like to modify the product sales post?”

“This should do.”

I added a little to the warning post.

*

– Hurry up and post that holy water in the marketplace.

– My patience for my butt isn’t that deep, you know?

– If this Boss keeps going like this, I’ll have no choice but to make out with him, right?

– This is the gallery of Isekai Boss’s sexual harassment.

While the weird announcement of disinfectant being holy water was circulating,

I wasn’t able to quickly fix it.

Eventually, those ridiculous home remedies started circulating and unnecessary demand began to swell, so I added disinfectant to the marketplace.

[New item has been added to the marketplace!]

– Finally!

– Is the holy water out?!

– I will drink the holy water and become a health guru!

The gallery erupted with excitement.

As people rushed to the marketplace clicking to purchase the holy water,

!Warning!

*This item is a cleansing product for hygiene purposes.

*The marketplace is not responsible for any damage that may occur from improper use.

The chilling warning in red letters was prominently displayed.

It didn’t outright say not to do it, rather that they won’t be held responsible.

Of course, initially, this caused cognitive dissonance.

– Wait, so it’s holy water but says not to drink it…?

– Isn’t it supposed to cleanse impurities by drinking it?

– The smell is similar to alcohol, so why…?

Even though I never explicitly said it was holy water, the image had already solidified in the public consciousness.

But I didn’t bother to correct or explain it.

“They’ll probably interpret it on their own anyway.”

Any phrase can be interpreted in different ways.

And soon enough, the gallums started interpreting and making judgments amongst themselves.

[Title: You shouldn’t drink holy water]

Does holy water remove unclean feelings? o

Then why does the boss say not to drink it?

After thinking about it for a long time…

(A meme of a priest pointing forward)

Can you truly call yourselves completely pure?

Can you honestly assert that you’ve never committed a crime even once in your life?

The warning not to drink holy water comes from this.

You’re not someone flawless, and chances are you won’t be in the future either.

That’s why drinking holy water obliterates the unclean “you” itself.

Even those who hold prominent seats in the church have their own rot.

I can confidently say no living being other than Boss has ever drunk holy water and stayed intact.

Therefore, unless you’re someone who considers yourself at least somewhat worthy, just don’t drink it, mmkay?

But if you still do? That’s just natural selection.

[Recommended 6499] [Not Recommended 102]

– So this was it.

– Wow, I suddenly understood.

– This really makes sense.

– What about babies?

– Doesn’t our gallum know original sin?

“Well, um…”

I certainly never expected it to be interpreted this way.

“Well, it’s likely a good outcome.”

Meanwhile, I was pouring hot water over the fine-ground coffee for the drip filter.

As the rich and stable aroma filled the café,

“Ah… this is cozy.”

“How’s it going? Easy, right?”

I was teaching Penny how to brew coffee.

Since running the shop required staff help.

The drying machine couldn’t help with bringing in customers, and Penny showed active interest.

“Yeah, I’ll work hard.”

I gently patted Penny’s head who smiled brightly and was about to finish the coffee lecture.

“Let’s just give it a quick test today.”

Of course, I didn’t plan to devote much time to running the café.

The true duty of the Boss was to focus on the heavy responsibility of managing the Gallery.

For now, I planned to open the door for about an hour.

-Ding-

And just in time, a customer entered.

“Welcome to the Coffee Minor Gallery.”

Penny greeted reliably based on what she had learned beforehand.

The café was named Coffee Minor Gallery.

As I smiled while finding Penny’s slightly stuttery speech cute, suddenly –

-CLANG!

Out of nowhere, something fell at the entrance.

Surprised by the noise, I turned my head and saw a familiar face at the entrance.

“A customer?”

A woman with red hair looked at me with shock in her eyes.

Dragon Dragon X stood there as my first customer.
