After the chicken farm meeting, I came to the "intermediate area" of the same "West Block".

The purpose of my visit is to visit the cafeteria run by the Nikmatsuri Chamber of Commerce, which became an award-winning companion at the "Grand Prix of the Street".

Kaiseki-san wanted me to come and see you once.

It's past noon and I'm just hungry, so I think I'll eat delicious meat.

"This is it, this is Grimm, welcome."Please, I'll set up a table for you here..... "

Kaiseki greeted me and guided me to my table.

They let me pass through a special room in the back, and I took a seat together.

Looks like you're going to eat with me.

"I'll give you a special menu right away, so please expect it."

Kaiseki laughed sharply when she said that.

It was the crocodile meat that came out a little while ago.

It is grilled on a skewer.

Kaiseki-san said that the meat he liked the most was difficult to procure and special meat that could only be used on the back menu, but he acted as promised.

In Duke Sabahn's territory, there are few crocodiles in common places where hunters hunt, and it seems that they are rarely available.

In the "Duchy of Artemina" that I'm about to go to, they also said that it is a major ingredient that is often harvested.

It's my first time eating crocodile meat... but I'm looking forward to it.

I ate it right away.

Oh, this texture... delicious!

Certainly... even though it tastes like chicken breast, it's juicy... it's so good!

This... I think it would definitely be good if it was deep-fried.

"Then... this is also the back menu... and it's a priceless item."It's delicious! "

That's what Kaikou-san said when he came out with a grilled skewer with four small boiled eggs.

Because it is baked with a special sauce, it has a fragrant smell.

Looks like... it's a quail's egg skewer...

"What egg is this?"

"It's a small bird egg called a quail."Like a chicken, it gives birth quite a lot, but it's about this size... no one breeds it.It seems that they used to be well kept, but now you can get chickens.I breed these eggs for my hobby because I like them. "

Said the head of the congregation, smiling.

I mean... it's like Doya's face.

And these eggs were really quail eggs!

I put one in my mouth, impatiently.

It's good!

Ah... this is exactly what a quail's egg tastes like.

I haven't remembered much until now, but I liked quail eggs.

I liked fried quail egg skewers and eggs in Chinese rice bowls...

"It's delicious! It's so good, this egg!"

“You're right! I thought Grimm would appreciate this. Uuhaha

“How did you get the quail?”

"Ah, that's right... I asked some of the contracted hunters to catch me."There are quite a few of them in the forest near the capital.However, it's hard to keep me alive. "

If you go to the forest around here, can you find it immediately?

"Yes, I am." If I go a little deeper, I think I'll be there. "

"Actually, I just went to Okkaa-san's place and held a meeting at the chicken farm where the children I talked about earlier could work."So, I wanted to breed quail too... "

"Are you sure? The eggs are so small, and I think the number of laying eggs per chicken is absolutely small compared to the number of laying eggs per chicken... is that okay?"

The head of the congregation is surprised and worried.

"That's right... if you think about it normally, it could be tough."Chickens are better if you only think about profits.But most of all... I liked this egg... "

When I said this with a bitter smile, Kaiseki nodded and made a full smile.

"No, that's a pleasure!" Mr. Grimm, if you really want to raise quail and pick eggs, please sell them to us.I hope so, but I will buy a lot of them.I want to add it to the menu of the store! "

“Thank you and I would really appreciate it.”

"If you don't mind... should I ask the contracted hunter to catch the quail?"

"Thank you for your concern." But my people are good at catching people. ”

I bowed my head to Kaiseki-san's concern.

As long as you know where the quail are, you can go out and join me.

Now that I remember the taste of quail eggs... I have no choice but to raise them!

My motivation has completely surpassed 100%!

I want to go and catch a quail in the woods right now.

Maybe... there's a faster way.

I had a secret conversation.

The opponent was the [Spirit Owl].

I immediately asked you to go around the Duke of Sabah's Forest and bring the quail along.

Fu was delighted with my offer and said he'd be leaving soon.

Apparently, Lynn from Emperor Slime will also be dispatched with her.

The Slimes in all of Duke Sabah's realm are already mostly owned by Lynn, so it seems that she can connect them to the quail.

We'll find out soon enough.

Let's wait here with anticipation.

I've decided to give you a special menu as a token of my gratitude for acting out the back menu and sharing information about the quail.

I borrowed the kitchen and decided to actually make it and have it eaten.

"Oh, it's delicious! What is this?!"Even though the meat is so thin... I can't believe it's so delicious...and eating it with raw eggs..... "

Inspired by the deliciousness, Kaiseki-san and the staff at the store are tearful.

I fed them... [Sukiyaki].

Now that satisfactory soy sauce has been developed, it is possible to spread the word "sukiyaki".

And I think this menu is perfect for the "Nikkumatsuri Shokai" cafeteria with a focus on meat.

“Can you teach me this recipe?”

"Yes, I was thinking of opening a shop at our Fairy Chamber in the future, but I would like to give you a special thank you for sharing my friendship and useful information."

"Oh, is that true!?"... how much should I pay for it...? "

“I don't need any money. We're not going to monopolize this menu.I plan to sell soy sauce widely, which is the point of seasoning, so if I get soy sauce, I think some cooks will be able to imitate it.So don't worry about it. ”

"But... I can't say it's just..."

"I see... let's do this."How about getting vegetables such as eggs, leeks, and soy sauce for this sukiyaki from the Fairy Chamber of Commerce? "

"Yes, of course. Of course I do, but... is that really all that matters?"

"Yes, I don't mind. However, in the future, we may also have a sukiyaki shop in a remote place that is not in the way of the [Nikumatsuri Chamber of Commerce].I hope you can accept that. ”

“Of course I do. Would you rather not compete with our store...?"

"Of course, I can't help but compete."Let's live together in coexistence and prosperity. "

"Thank you. We'll add it to the menu soon.I look forward to seeing you. ”

Aikido-san bowed his head deeply to me.

Somehow... unintentionally, the deal came together.

I didn't want to forcefully link it to business... well, soy sauce is only available at the "Fairy Chamber of Commerce" so far, so it's inevitable.

In fact, I would like to recommend yarn konnyaku and tofu as the ingredients used for "sukiyaki", but I will sell them after they can be made in large quantities.

I think that tofu can be produced in large quantities in the near future, but Konjac hasn't been seen yet.

Konjac potatoes have not been discovered, have they?

"I'm sure it's somewhere..."

By the way, I also ate "Sukiyaki" together, but the taste was excellent!

After all, it's the Nikumatsuri Shokai that uses good meat, so the taste of the sukiyaki is also excellent.
