055. Dinner Party 1

After taking a bath and refreshing, I was forced to put on Imperial military uniforms. Don't feel weird in your uniform after a long time. Before, this was normal.

It's almost a promise time. As soon as the pick-up carriage arrived, I was waiting at the cafeteria so that I could get out, so I headed for the cafeteria.

"Well, Alan-san, how are you dressed?"

The innkeeper, Kira, was very surprised.

"I'm going to visit a commercial guild called Cyrus, and she's dressed like this. Do you know Cyrus?"

"No one knows Cyrus in this city, but he looks good and looks like an aristocrat."

"It's nothing but Ippari-ra. Can I get tea?"

"Yes, please wait a moment"

I told Kira that dinner was not needed, and while waiting for a cup of tea, Clelia came down to the first floor.

"Rear! How is that?"

I was amazed at Celia's unexpected appearance.

Clelia was dressed in an empire at one end of the global epidemic, and must have been fashion like cosplay or gothic loli. The empire was fashionable with a fashion that had never been before, but there was no one in the crew of Iris who had it as personal property.

"I'm surprised? It's a very high-class dress. I got it because Sharon and Serena don't wear it."

Sharon and Serena have subtle faces that seem apologetic. Perhaps they brought what Iris recommended rather than their hobbies.

Clothes made of a large amount of ruffles in black and white are very luxurious and look very good for Clelia, but at first glance they did not look like dresses, but seemed to be dressed up. However, because Clelia, who is familiar with the fashion on this planet, has said that it is a dress, this star would be a dress.

Sharon and Serena are dresses in formal dresses designed by the Empire, and they are often found in empires such as weddings. It is not worn for business, but for festive occasions. Both have the same design, Sharon is deep wine red, and Serena is dark navy blue. I think the same design is a concept that is conscious of the twin setting. When the two young people are still wearing, they seem to be stretched out as adults and are very cute.

Elna is also an imperial dress, not a formal dress, but I think it is more formal. It was dark green, and again suited to Erna, but had a thin leather belt on her waist and a suspended electromagnetic blade knife. As expected, the sword may have been left, but there is a terrible sense of incongruity when hanging a combat knife in women's clothing designed by Empire.

Everyone is dressed up and I have to say a word.

"Everyone looks great, very beautiful."

"Oh, well. Well, both Elna and Sharon and Serena are exotic designs and not bad."

"Alan, you are the customer," said Kira. Behind you, you can see Carina dressed as a foreigner.

"Hello everyone, pick you up ..."

With that said, I'm stuck looking here. Did the Imperial design taste bad?

"I'm sorry. I'm here to pick you up. If you're ready, go to the carriage."

"Thank you. Let's all go."

The chariot picked up was a magnificent car that seemed to be the chariot of a house called a millionaire. A few steps above our carriages. I got on board and left. Carina is looking seriously at our outfit in the carriage.

In about five minutes, the carriage stopped right in front of a large mansion worthy of being called a mansion.

"Everyone, please click here"

Carina guided me into the mansion and was guided to a place like a drawing room.

"I'll check the preparation for the supper. I'll let you make tea, so please wait for a while."

Carina left the room, and a person like a butler came in turn and began to drink tea.

"Well, it's a very prestigious room."

Celia, dressed in aristocratic mode, looks around with her furnishings in her room. We, the Imperial Group, sat on the sofa and enjoyed tea.

"Arista and Alan went to the reception room."

"Sorry, the preparation for the dinner went smoothly. Carina, what happened?"

"... about the clothes of Alan and his party."

"Oh, Karina, it's good. Even though we had a banquet, we invited only adventurers. Even if we weren't dressed appropriately for the banquet, there would be nothing wrong with this. Let's act on it. "

"No, it's different.

"I understand what I mean, isn't it that you and your father are dressed in style, so you may be ashamed of your appearance? I wonder why I didn't notice! What should I do?

"No! No! Alan and his party are dressed as royal aristocrats. You can hardly imagine how much money you would need to prepare such a costume. In particular, Alan and Leah are standing in a divine appearance. "

"e?"

"It's an exotic design and it's quirky, but isn't that outfit that Cyrus can't afford?"

"... Is Dad still serving customers ... I can't help it. In any case, I can't wait forever. Go to the supper room."

"Yes"

After a while, I was led by a person like a butler to a room where I thought I would have a meal. In a room with a large rectangular table, about 30 people are likely to be seated on the table. Men and women who seem to be waiters are lined up by the wall.

Soon Arista, Karina, and Natalie entered the room.

Arista looks at us, opens his eyes and hardens for a moment. After all, this outfit wasn't tasty.

"Thank you for inviting me today."

For now, as a leader, I should say hello.

"No, welcome you. Thank you for your association, despite the sudden invitation. In fact, my father had a sudden visitor, and I'm just waiting for customers. I'm sorry for this mistake. "

"I don't mind anything, because everyone has something unexpected."

"I don't know how long it will take, so let's get started."

The waiters pulled the chair and sat down, and Cyrus entered the room. After all we are scared to see our appearance.

"Hey, you guys are dressed awesome."

It's better to say this clearly than to say nothing. Cyrus seems to be quite straight.

"I heard that it was a banquet, and I wore nothing but Ippari!"

"... Sorry, I'm sorry to be late, because a sudden customer came."

"Dad, any problems?"

"No, General Oak has been defeated for the first time in a long time. Kevin came and asked me to buy it at a commercial guild.

Oh! That's probably what we brought back. I'm gonna do Kevin. The more you buy, the more we might pay.

"Oh! Isn't that good? You should have ordered from a royal family," said Arista.

"Kevin's guy knows that and he's sprinkling it. It's terrible. Is it? "

Terrible! He seems to have been grinning about the reward. Do you want to be honest here rather than making excuses?

"No, I think the general oak is probably what we've hunted, so I'm just glad that the price goes up."

"What ?! Did you defeat General Oak?"

"Yes. Ah, but I don't know if the head that Cyrus saw was the one we hunted, but it was true that we delivered the orc's head to the guild yesterday."

"How many general oaks have been defeated? It's definitely yours. But ... are you only defeated?"

"That's right. These five people are very big guys, more than three meters and twenty centimeters."

"Now! Was it so big?"

"Yeah, he had a really ugly face. Oh, you saw it."

"But I hunted well. Normally the Orcs don't move alone and don't get out of the village much."

"Yes, I was in a village."

"Hmm? How were you in the village and how did you hunt? There were no other orcs?"

"Huh? You were there?"

"Is it attacking?"

"You attacked me."

"... In other words, do you say you defeated General Orcs while defeating dozens of orcs?"

"Well, if you go to hunt for oaks, it's like a general oak, and it's a bit like hunting."

"By the way ... how many orcs did you have?"

"It was seventy-four."

"Hey! That's the number of opponents in the Knights!"

"We go well with the orcs, because they can all use magic. I'm hiding with sloppy and I'm going to defeat them one by one with magic. I'll do it. "

"Well, I guess I'm thrilled! No, I'm so excited!

"Father, I'm sorry to hear the story, but I'd like to start a supper soon ..."

"Oh, that's right. Let's get started right away. Alan, I love you! I'll give you some special sake.

"Thank you very much.

"Huh ... that's what it is like."

The food served at the supper was like a course dish, starting with an appetizer, and splendid dishes were served one after another. I was worried about table manners during my first full-scale meal, but I was relieved that there was not much difference from those of the empire as far as I saw Cleria. Well, eating with a knife and fork wouldn't make much of a difference.

Cyrus's special sake was wine with a higher alcohol content than regular wine. Perhaps the alcohol content is around 20 degrees.

Probably, it was made by mixing normal wine with alcohol distilled from wine. With just fermented wine, alcohol should not be so high. After a long time drinking strong liquor in the empty stomach, I felt pretty good even in the early stages.

"But this is a delicious sake. It's the first time I've ever been to this country and drank it."

It wasn't really that good, but it was a special liquor so it was a lip service.

"That's right, it's not in a bar there. It's much more from the Gates Kingdom. The price is so high that your eyes pop out."

"That's right. I'm sorry, I drank quite a bit without reserve."

"It's good, because I could drink, and I have to drink occasionally, but you're a pretty cool mouth."

"I don't usually drink that much, but I like sake. By the way, are there any umbrellas in this country that have high-intoxicated ingredients?"

"Sake with enhanced drunk ingredients?"

"Oh, it's made by mixing wine-drunken ingredients like this one."

"... Alan, you know how you made this liquor?"

"I don't know how this liquor is made, but I know how to make it."

With a rattling sound, Cyrus stood up. Aristas are also surprised.

"Huh? What happened?"

"Alan, the Gates Kingdom I mentioned earlier, doesn't know how to make this liquor. It's rumored that he makes it like confining a liquor. Do you know how to make that liquor? ? "

"I know. I can't say in detail, but I made it in my home country."

I was making a more authentic distilled liquor.

"What ?! As far as I know, the only thing that makes this sake is the Gates Kingdom ... Alain, you, why don't you try making sake for yourself?"

"... Sounds interesting. You can try it, but my main business is an adventurer, so I hope I can do it without dismissing it."

"Okay! Well, I'll pay all the costs. If you've established a recipe, yes, let's do 500,000 Guineas."

500,000 Guineas is a lot of money. But if you don't know how to make it, if you succeed, you're going to make a lot of money. Even if you put out millions instead of 500,000, you should be able to recover them immediately.

You should be able to make sake and if you start selling, you should feel like you get a percentage of the sales, but there is no time to be involved in such things.

"What about two million Guineas?"

“What !? I ’m taking too much!

"I know how to make sake that is better than this sake. 1.5 million Guineas."

Maybe Iris could make more sake than that.

"What !? I could make a better sake than this ... OK, I understand! 1.5 million Guineas"

"In addition, please cooperate with a blacksmith, so please introduce me."

"... Okay, do you still need a blacksmith to make sake? No, no. There are good blacksmiths in commercial guilds.

"Thank you"

He was talking to Cyrus at a banquet, but the banquet continued quietly. The next dish was meat dishes.

"What is this?" Said Cyrus.

"The chef bought it at the market today. It's a very rare demon meat, and it seems to be a blue serpent," said Arista.

"Sure, it's like Blue Serpent's meat, but the meat is big."

"That's probably a big blue serpent."

"What!

"I guess they hunted this morning. It's just a coincidence. I didn't think I could eat here."

"In the morning, I'm not a monster that can be hunted to hunt."

"Yes, it was a coincidence that I found it. I found it entangled with a greyhound and then hunted it. It was pretty big.

"What ?! What happened to the leather?"

"Well? I leave it to the guild."

"That's right. Ginger, will you go to see tomorrow?"

"Is it still valuable?"

"Oh, yeah. That's a huge thing that I rarely see. I can sell it at a good price in a bag."

"So that's it"

I immediately got a big blue serpent steak. Seasoning is simply like salt, pepper and herbs. There is no habit and the meat of the snake is fat and juicy and seems to melt in your mouth. If the ingredients are fine, less complicated seasoning is needed. This seasoning may be the best. The cook here seems to be excellent.

"This is delicious!"

Everyone at the party seems to be enjoying it.

"Oh, it's delicious. I ate for the first time in five years, but I guess this meat is more delicious, probably because it's a top species. What else did you hunt today?"

"The only other thing is greyhounds."

"Well, how many heads?"

"Um, sixty heads."

"Sixty! Is it only in the morning?"

"I agree"

"It's a big deal. I can't believe the C rank."

"Oh, all of us had B rank today."

"... Well, of course, Kevin's guys are working properly."

Meat dishes are over, and the end is like dessert. It's like a soft, moist cookie with dusted sugar, and on top of the cookie is something like pickled dried fruit in sake, which is very delicious. Ocha was served, but Cyrus and I were still drinking.

The course meal seems to be over.

"I enjoyed it after a long time with many wonderful dishes."

Everyone at the party commented that it was delicious.

"I was worried that I would be satisfied with the foodies like Alan-san, but I am so glad I was pleased," said Arista.

"Everything was satisfying! Each dish was carefully and delicately made, and it was a dish that showed the chef's sense."

"Thank you. I'll tell the chef."

"Now, I've finished eating and it's finally my main subject. It's a thank you talked about the other day but helped the Aristas."

Is it finally the main subject? Of course, I knew this wasn't just a banquet, but this. Well, what kind of story.
