Labyrinth Restaurant

Barbecue (Part I)

BBQ. Barbecue.

This is, roughly speaking, an event in which you start a fire outdoors and cook and eat prepared ingredients. There is no way to decide on the type of ingredients or how to cook them, but is it a common image of a BBQ style where meat and vegetables are baked and eaten on an iron plate or gold net?

Today, the brave (I) are having a barbecue party together with the demon kings and Alice, the knights and demon king armies who are companions of the journey, and others in a vacant lot near the labyrinth.

The weather is cloudless blue sunny weather, hot, cold and windless, and it's a great barbecue day. There is already an aromatic aroma around where meat soaked in sauce can be baked, and in many installed baking tables, participants with a glass of alcohol in one hand surround them and await baking.

By the way, I'm a minor, so it's juice, not alcohol. I'm of drinking age in this world, but for once.

The types of ingredients are divided by baking table, where meat such as bovine animals, pigs, tris and sheep are roasted on a gilded net, seafood such as squid, scallops and sacanas are made in other places, and fried rice and yaxova are made one after the other on an iron plate in different places.

It's not the Demon King who's hitting the cooking this time, it's all Homunculus. We are busily moving around cooking and distributing drinks. I also felt sorry that we were using it to play, but apparently they were also eating properly while taking turns resting, Mr. Cosmos (who changed his shift with his boss's privilege to take the day off) told me as he cheeked Yaxova, who had piled it on his plate.

[My Lord, apparently the baking net next door there is burning. I'm gonna go change.]

"Yes, I'm coming."

In fact, grilled nets, iron plates (not iron, but for convenience), skewered skewers, etc. used this time can be objects that Mr. Saint Sword has changed his appearance.

"Yes, you're all a little through. Turn off the burnt net... Yes, I gave you a new one, so please use this one."

[Mm, my lord. Looks like the cow fin on the other side is about ready to eat. No one else seems to be after them yet]

"You're over there. Then let's have a taste."

I've said it over and over again before, and still let's dare to repeat it. This holy sword is too convenient. It has always been helpful in a variety of everyday situations, but since I was able to communicate with you recently, it has also taught me how the ingredients are doing as they fire.

I deeply chewed up the thanksgiving of the Holy Sword with a beef fin cut to bite size. gravy spreads in your mouth from meat with heat in about medium rarity. I can be tempted to eat a bunch of the same meat by accident, but it's a corner opportunity, and I'd love to eat a little bit of different things anyway, so I'm gambling with just one slice.

"Good day, brave man. This is the first time I've been to one of these events, but barbecue is always wonderful."

'Oh, you don't seem to be eating much. If you don't eat a lot, you can't grow up.'

Kamiko & Goddess said while eating a mole of roasted gyoza. They're the only ones who have a monopoly on one baking table because they eat too fast.

The other participants keep an eye out for it in a far-flung fashion, as if it were a street art as well. Yeah, you'd be surprised to see this full meal the first time, you know, because I did, too.

"By the way, don't you have to hide your face? I hear that Kamiko is a state secret in itself."

It attracts tremendous attention in its current progression. State secrets, top-rated leaks in progress.

"... I forgot. I've been acting uncommonly and freely lately. But as long as we can see them eating, maybe we'll be fine."

"If it's a problem, that's when."

Is that okay, God of this world?

"Well, let's keep eating now as we think about it later"

'Right.... Oh? Smells good from somewhere......, what is it you're baking over there?

One person and one column moved their interest back to the dish, or they walked to the iron plate, which was baking a fluff and okonomiyaki under the scent of the sauce.

Is that okay, God of this world?

I said it twice because it's important.

"Oh, this is brave."

"Hey, brave lady. Hore, you want some yakitori?

"Chi Chi"

"Oh, this child is the brave one? I am Aquadine of the Four Heavens."

The Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King Army had been drinking Yakitori to the dishes since midday. By the way, in order of line, it's Mr. Hendrick, Mr. Gargalion, Mr. Sublaw, and Mr. Aquadine, who I met for the first time. Empty liquor bottles are scattered around whether everyone is already drinking a significant amount, and all four of them are perfectly ready.

"... that? You're a minor, aren't you, Sublaw?

His appearance is about a boy in middle school who would be younger than mine. It won't mean you're over twenty years old (hatchet) no matter how many child faces you have.

"This isn't Japan, so it's a no-can. Well, I've been drinking every now and then since I was in Japan."

Apparently, Saburou-kun is not very of the righteous type. A child whose underage drinking cries also shuts up. Aside from whether he deserves it as the evil deed of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Army.

I guess the roots are good kids because they seem to be working properly since I was in Japan to help with the family business and even after I came to the demon world.

"Hehe, you have beautiful black hair, she's cute. Hey, why don't you and your sister have a drink?

"Wow!? Um, I'm sober..."

And suddenly Aquadine, the Four Heavens King, turned to me. If you look closely at this man, he is a tremendous beauty. Eyelashes and stuff. It's awesome long. I was unwittingly thrilled even though I was of the same sex.

"I'll show you how to drink. Hey, somewhere quiet for both of us..."

"Uh, uh..."

"That's it."

Mr. Hendrick pulled Mr. Aquadine apart when he saw me in a hurry.

"Oh man...... Be careful, she, the..."

"I know it's a man, but I know it's a woman, but you're a pervert that it doesn't matter who you are. Watch out for the brave lady, she'll eat you."

You don't mean eaten, do you?

"Oh, excuse me. I'm not interested in anybody, I'm only interested in cute kids of my choice."

Does that mean I've been liked?

"... Um, now that we have an emergency, excuse me!

I fled like a rabbit.

"Ugh, would it be okay if we ran this far?

[Um, apparently they're not following us]

Escaping at full speed, I exhaled a breath of relief in the shade of a tree a short distance from the empty space, the barbecue venue.

Deciding it seemed better not to go back to the venue for a while, I decided to take a meal break and take a walk. As I relaxed on the promenade I had recently been able to do around the labyrinth, I discovered a face I had seen up front.

My fellow travelers, the knights, my brother, who used to do swordsmanship arches, and my sweetheart, my sister, who loves ice cream, walk amicably on unpopular paths by holding hands so that she can tangle her fingers. You're obsessed with the story, apparently you don't realize what I look like.

"Could it be a date?

I hadn't noticed before, but what if you were dating those two? I decided to keep an unnoticed distance and watch the two of them. Yes, it's human observation.

[My lord, peeping is not my concern]

... It's a human observation. It's not a peek.

Youth and women walk amicably chatting. I could only hear fragments of the conversation from away, but the two apparently just started dating. It's the first time that we can't grasp each other's sense of distance yet.

A young man stopped to see if he'd found something on foot for a while. He offered it to a woman when he picked a flower that was blooming on the side of the road a little further away.

A flower with a gift for a lover blooming around it may not complain if it was done in modern Japan, but it seems to have worked remarkably well for a woman in this world who hasn't sled for better or worse. She blushed and scuffed her face and gave a light mouthfeel to the young man's cheek.

I kind of feel like I've seen something I shouldn't. If we continue to observe humans like this, we may witness more shocking occasions, and perhaps we should leave this place before it is even noticed.

At that time I stepped on a dead branch that was falling at my feet because I was too focused and my attention to my surroundings was elusive. The dry sound of a pacifier rings, and the two people who notice the sound look back.

I thought I'd run away, but the two of us have already seen me, and it's going to be worse if I keep running.

[So I would have told you to stop]

Yes, you're right.

And I told them that I had not seen what they were doing, pretending to be as though they had just passed through this place. Fortunately, you never dreamed that I, the brave man, would lie on top of sneaking human observation (stalking) to preserve myself, etc., and you believed that excuse so much.... I'm so sorry about both of you.

"First of all, we're dating on the assumption of marriage."

Yes, I know. Because I've been watching it since just now. I acted a little surprised by the over-action mood. I wasn't sure about my acting skills, but apparently they tricked me.

But apparently, you're not willing to hide your socialization from these two. Then my guilt, which I was taking a peek at, also somewhat fades.

But their next words truly amazed me, who was in inner relief.

"I was thinking about talking to you two and asking Lisa later..."

"If I give you a daughter in the future, can I give you Lisa's name?

Don't you guys feel fast about anything for as much as you want?

It's heavy on that. My thoughts are heavy. I don't think that's a question to make at least one high school student.

But the two voices are very serious, and it conveys that we sincerely ask for the name of someone we respect. It wouldn't be a good idea to tear up or mislead this feeling.

When I gave the two of them permission to use their names, they were overjoyed. I greatly doubt that I am a man worthy of respect, but at least I want to make sure I don't bore out before them. At least I'll try not to observe humans anymore.

Happy enduring, both of you.
