As expected, Kaori-san only runs a set meal restaurant, and he manually proceeds with cooking.

That's a good trick, isn't it?

"Well, I've been in the shop for years." Ah, yes, you can expect me to cook... but don't expect too much rice. "

“Um, you mean the rice isn't very good?”

When I asked back, Kaori-san explained with a bitter smile.

"No, it's not that I don't like it." However, if you were in this world, I think you would know, but in this world rice is a minor thing. "

"Yes, it's hard to see, isn't it?" But it's made in each country, isn't it? "

"Yes, but I guess it's because the production volume is small, and I haven't made any progress in improving the variety." For us Japanese, it still tastes a little subtle. I've also chosen and purchased it quite hard, but it still feels like foreign rice. "

I see.

In fact, as Kaori-san said, rice is not common in this world. Basically, it's bread, and I know Mr. Noin who mainly eats rice. Mr. Noin is also an ex-Japanese.

As for Kuro's family, Kuro doesn't have a special preference for either bread or rice, so he eats both, so he eats rice normally. Mr. Laz seems to like rice and eat it well, but it's still about half bread.

Ahato and Eva said they didn't eat much rice because they felt uncomfortable when it wasn't bread.

However, this is the case. I've never come to this world and questioned the taste of rice, or felt like foreign rice.

Rather, I thought it was better than the rice I ate when I was living alone. I think that's probably a difference in producer capacity.

"... um, Kaori-san"

Yeah?

"Hey, can you try this?" It's a salted rice balls..... "

"Onigiri?... a nice shiny rice, isn't it?"

Kaori-san ate a bite of the salt rice balls he took out from the magic box and turned it into a stunned expression.

"Huh!? What, this is so delicious... it's a level that's incomparable to our rice." What is this, from Niigata? It's from Niigata!? You're the one that hiccups me!? "

”No, I don't think it's Koshihikari... but actually, it's rice that my acquaintance makes”

Kaori-san ate the rice made by Laz-san. As for Aoi-chan and Yogane-chan, they still want to eat rice, so Laz-san regularly splits the rice, but Laz-san's rice is noisy to Japanese cuisine, and Noin-san is also convinced, so the level is actually quite high.

... well, I didn't do anything to boast about the high level of rice.

"So, like Kaori-san mentioned earlier, in this world, rice is a minor, and the acquaintance is spooky, and if there is someone who wants it, they want to tell me."

Yes, Mr. Laz seems to be having fun growing rice, and producing paddies that are comparable in size, but there are few people in Kuro's family who eat rice, and he was worried that he would consume less for the yield.

When I went to get the rice, I always said, "Do you want more? 'It's just like being asked. However, even for me, the amount consumed by Aoi-chan and Yoichi-chan and the three of them... Recently, there are mom and dad, so the consumption has increased a little, but it is still known.

As a result, the stock increases every year, so it seems that Mr. Laz, although unfortunate, is thinking about reducing the paddy field.

So, if you don't mind, can I introduce you to her next time?

"Eh? Really!? If I could buy this rice, I'd wish for it." Even if the purchase price is higher than the current rice, this level is perfectly OK. "

"It depends on the negotiation, but it seems that there was a lot of trouble there, so I think it will be wholesale at a fairly low price." Well, I'll bring you back next time. "

"Thank you! This rice seems to please [Shige-san]"

Shige-san?

Kaori-san, who spoke with great pleasure, gave me a name I didn't recognize... and I heard a name that sounded like a Japanese, so I heard it back.

"Ah, Mr. Heavy is a man named Okurashi Nobu, the same hero of my past, who is now a farmer in the Hydra Kingdom." I happen to know her too. She's 90 years old, but she's still healthy, and she comes to the shop about once a year. ”

"Huh, there are other emigrants from Japan, right?" I'd love to meet you if I get the chance. ”

"Yes. I'm sure that Heavy would like to see you too... I'd like to meet the three high school kids who came out to talk to you about."

After all, it was exciting when it became a topic for people in our hometown, and we had a pleasant conversation about the Japanese people we knew for a while.
