A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 162: Return home. (Dinner today. )
Takeo and the others arrived at the Elvis residence.
Frederick was just there when I walked in the front door.
"Welcome back, gentlemen.
"I'm home, Frederick.
"Good day, Mr. Frederick. I'm back.
"Welcome and hard work.
"I'm back.
"I'm home, Frederick.
"It's almost evening class bell, so I'm doing dinner support now.
Please wait a while longer.
says Frederick.
"Okay. Dear Takeo, what will you do?
"I'll go to the kitchen and then head to the dining room.
"Okay, I hope so.
Let's go to the guest room.
"Right. Will William and your stepfather be all right?
"I don't mind.
"I'm fine, too.
"See you in the dining room.
and Takeo leaves everyone for the kitchen.
"Good luck, Your Majesty.
Frederick says in awe.
"Um, that was fun.
"Most importantly.
The Lord awaits your return in the guest room.
"Right.
"Okay, let's go.
and Leila leads the way to the guest room.
Frederick knocks on the door of the guest room.
From the inside, I said, "Go ahead." Confirm that permission will come down, open the door, and everyone will enter the room.
Inside were Grandpa Elvis and Smith.
"Count Elvis, we're back.
"We are relieved to have you back safely.
"I'm back.
"Grandpa, I'm back.
"Your Highness, Leila, welcome back.
"Grandpa, I'm tired.
"Alice, thank you for your hard work.
and the four get to their seats.
When Frederick makes the tea and replaces the tea in front of everyone, he falls back a little from everyone.
"How was it, Your Majesty?
"Um, that was fun.
I don't think you've talked to the city's residents in years.
"Do you think so?
By the way, where have you been?
"Grandpa, a green fruit shop and a liquor store. Plus a tailor and a magic store, right?
Leila says.
"Every inhabitant knew me right away.
"Didn't Takeo find out?
"I guess... I haven't found out.
What are you nervous about? That felt like it.
Well, you think you're nervous because you're noble.
Alice says what she thinks.
"Well... haven't you found out... I'm worried..."
Grandpa Elvis is dismayed.
"So, where did Takeo go?
"Master Takeo went to the kitchen.
"Well, you went to do dinner support.
"Hmm? Count Elvis, does Takeo even make dinner?
"Yes. This dinner should be something Takeo invented.
Takeo also thought about tea time treats after dinner.
"Ho, that's exciting.
"Right. What delicious things are next?
"Leila expects too much.
William teases Layla with a bitter smile.
and other butlers came to the guest room to let them know that dinner was ready.
"Ladies and gentlemen, dinner is ready.
Everyone took their seats and headed to the dining room.
------------------------
Everyone took their seats in the dining room.
And, dinner is brought in.
"And you've finished your meal.
Okay, I'll explain it lightly.
"Uhm."
"For dinner this evening, the main and soup will be dishes with raw cream on the theme of cooking with 'raw cream'.
Carbonara, milk vegetable soup and cucumber salad are easy, but I think it's easy to understand that they taste different.
It's a long story, so let's keep it warm.
"Um, well, I was wondering if you'd like it.
Everyone starts eating together.
After dinner, everyone moves into the guest room.
Frederick makes tea after the meal, puts it in front of everyone, and falls back a little from everyone.
"Dinner was excellent this evening, too.
and Grandpa Elvis says, everyone nods except Takeo.
"You've never eaten that spaghetti before.
It was rich and delicious.
"Yeah, and the soup was always richer than what you eat, too.
Says King Azpar and William as they nick.
"Now I'm happy with the aftertaste of those two dishes.
"Right, Leila, sister.
"Yes, it is.
Layla, Alice and Smith bob with a happy face.
"Everyone seems happy and above all.
and Takeo are also staring nicely.
"Do Alice and the others always eat these dishes?
"It's not always.
You make one piece of something when Master Takeo feels like it.
"Oh, you don't make it every day?
"Right.
I can remember how to cook with some kind of cut, and if you have ingredients... right?
"Yes... is the recipe difficult?
"No? It's not that hard because it was made in the average home where I was.
"What!? Do you get these excellent dishes at Takeo's every day!
"My mother was making it.
"Is Takeo's parent a cook?
"No, a housewife, though?
"... oh my god..."
King Azpar hides no surprises.
"Takeo's mother is a good cook, isn't she?
"You normally made anything.
And then see what the ingredients are and pap appropriately.
"That's a great arm..."
King Azpar nods with interest.
"I guess it's not awesome.
I think the mothers here will be cooking with their dads, too?
"But I don't think you've tasted this far.
says William.
"Don't you just know that?
And because of the high seasoning and all that... Hmm?
Takeo thinks of something.
"Takeo, what's wrong?
"No, I was at the Elvis house from the beginning, and I had a kitchen because I was looking after you, but...
Maybe the average household doesn't have a kitchen?
"Ho.
Frederick nods as impressed.
"Mr. Frederick reacts.
"Yes, as Takeo discusses.
It is believed that about half of the kitchens are provided in this city's homes.
Grandpa Elvis snorts at Frederick's words, too.
"Don't think that even the Wang capital is half. Why did Takeo think that?
King Azpar asks.
"No, cuisine starts a fire, so... single men cook? I just thought so.
Besides, firewood would be surprisingly expensive, and I was wondering if you wouldn't need a kitchen if you bought and ate it from time to time...
"Right. There is basically no kitchen in a single man's residence.
So the dining room is nearby where there are many rooms for one person.
"I see.
That's how you break up with neighborhoods with lots of nature and bachelors and neighborhoods with lots of families.
And the shops and the like will also be divided into necessary districts... and I see the process by which the city will grow.
and other butlers come to the guest room with sweets and tea.
"Here you are, today's the real deal.
Takeo laughs couscous.
"Huh? What's the real deal, Mr. Takeo?
Layla listens back.
"Today's raw cream was bought to make this treat.
So, privately, whether this treat fits your mouth... is intriguing.
"What!? Did the dinner taste about appetizer..."
"You will.
Takeo nods at King Azpar's question.
