That food in the mouth, with the soft texture of the thinly baked dough, simultaneously spreads the juice and vegetable teething, with the sauce overflowing from the dough claiming itself slightly late.
"Delicious."
When Ray squirms at Gosh's famous dish called Panita, the august on the other side of the table smiles happily and opens his mouth.
"Isn't it? My wife's cooking is excellent. Especially panitas, which I honestly don't get tired of eating every day."
"Shit, no more. If you're august, it's a big deal."
"It's not a big deal. I always want to eat Kathy's hand cooking. I want to eat whenever I'm at work."
"Yan. If I august. Are you thinking about that on the way to work? We need to focus, right?
Ray sighs at the act, which all of a sudden began in front of Ray.
(If only this hadn't...)
Acts that have already been shown many times in this short time.
I get sick of seeing it over and over again.
But there's no reason to blame the act more than this is Auguste's house.
All Ray could do was just wait for the act to even end.
Luckily now I have a delicious dish in front of me called Panita.
If so, leave Augusto and Kathy alone, who are putting themselves in a world of just two, and there was no mistake that it would be best to focus on eating.
There are many other dishes on the table besides panitas.
Baked meat, stew, stew. And for Ray, it was a little hard to believe, but even steamed fish existed.
(... why fish in the desert?
If this were fish dried, Ray would have been convinced too.
It's no wonder it's in the desert because it was originally conceived as a preserved food.
Of course it brings us to the desert, so the price would be very expensive.
Still, if it was dry, I would have been convinced.
But what's in front of Ray now is steamed fish.
It wasn't steamed dried food, it was a dish steamed raw fish.
At first it was Ray, who had been made aware by Panita that it was Gosh's specialty dish, but if you look at a plate gently placed on the table, you can't miss it.
(Possible possibilities…)
He turns his gaze to two people whispering love in front of him, and then Ray looks at his right wrist.
Mistering is what fits in there.
There is no such thing as rotting in the mysteries, so it would be possible to bring raw fish.
In fact, Ray's mysteries still contain fish that he bought from the Harbor Street Emosion.
(But Augusto was surprised to see my mistering. If anyone with an item box is here, I wouldn't be surprised that much. So... is that the simplified version Elaine had?
It was a ray that reminds me of a simplified version of the item box that Elaine had before, but I'll deny it immediately.
(Although the simplified version can only be stored, what you put inside is usually under the influence of time flow. Because, after all, it's impossible to have a simplified version. When it does, freeze it with the magic of ice? Hmm, but there aren't many wizards...)
I wonder why there's a fish here... and that's the kind of fish Ray has never seen before, so I wondered what Ray looks like. Augusto stops talking about his love with Kathy and opens his mouth.
"What's up, Mr. Ray? Make a strange face. Could it have been something you couldn't eat? All of Kathy's food is delicious, so I think anyone who doesn't like it can eat it."
To Augusto's words, no, Ray shakes his neck sideways as he looks at Kathy, who is already saying.
"That's not true. Every dish is eaten deliciously."
Out of Ray's mouth was an indisputable fact.
I watch Augusto and Kathy flirt and I get heartburn, but it's never a lie that Kathy's dishes described on the way to this mansion are delicious.
That was something Ray had to convince me too, having tried all sorts of dishes.
"So, what's going on?
I wondered if Kathy's cooking didn't fit her mouth, a little... she was just an august who was about to get a little angry, but I guess she understood from Ray's tone that it wasn't. He asks me how calm I am.
To such an august, Ray turns his gaze to steaming dishes of fish.
"I'm a little concerned about this fish dish. Why is it the desert, but there's raw fish, not dried food or anything?
"... Oh, is that what you mean? With that said, you didn't say the area. Normally, you'd be surprised to see fish coming out in a city like Gosh."
Nodding as convinced by Ray's words, Augusto stretches the fork for dispensing into a steamed fish hung with a spicy sauce, which, when cleverly removed from the bone, transfers it to the dish with the sauce.
Place the fish on the panita dough, roll it up and put it in your teat mouth.
(Sounds delicious)
Panita was just described as something to be eaten wrapped around meat and vegetables, and the way Augusto eats now was just a little surprising.
"This fish was caught from an oasis in Gosh."
"... can you catch fish in an oasis?
Ray's image was that the oasis was that he didn't think there were creatures just because spring water existed.
So I'd be surprised if they heard that the steaming dish of fish in front of me was fish caught in oasis.
"Yeah. It doesn't mean you can get a lot of them, of course. The amount you can get is determined, and it's strictly controlled. Still, it's a great pleasure to have fish in the oasis."
"... can you live? No, I guess you're growing up better than you're earning like this..."
"Yeah. I don't know how long fish have been growing in oasis either. Because there were already fish when I was tempted. But this fish is a very rare substitute for Gosh dwellers."
"I guess."
What Ray saw on TV when he was in Japan was a show about showing living fish to people living in the desert.
Those who lived in the desert even remembered fear if they did not understand what it was.
I could take that for granted more than I was born in the desert...... so I was feeling somewhere odd from Ray's eyes.
"Augusto customers are coming. It's natural to prepare a treat, isn't it?... Would you be happy?
Ray grins and nods back to Kathy as she grins and asks.
In fact, Ray was surprised that fish dishes came out, but the flavors of the dishes that came out, including them, are definitely delicious.
I couldn't have complained about this.
Kathy, too, must have found out that Ray said it was seriously delicious, not like flattery. Smile and look toward Augusto...
(Keep it up and it starts again)
I wondered if the sight would repeat earlier in front of me, and Ray didn't accumulate either.
Trying to stop it somehow, let your gaze circle...... act what you think is best in your current state the moment you see the dish.
"Thanks for the delicious food, why don't you try this?
That's what they took out of the mistering, a smaller pot.
The smell that drifts from that pan to the surrounding area is what stirs your appetite.
Owing to differences in spices and seasonings, Augusto and Cathy had never smelled it, but it's definitely still an appetite-stirring smell.
Kathy wonders where Ray took this pot from, but her husband Ougust knows Ray has the item box.
That's why I wouldn't be so surprised, and Cathy, who saw such an Auguste figure, wouldn't give it to her expression, even if she was surprised.
"It's a meat of monsters not in the desert.... you know what winter is?
"Yeah, I've heard of it. Because it's the same weather all year round and it rains every few years."
Even though it only rained that much, Ray I don't think he could live often, but when he decides that's all Gosh's oasis means, he goes on explaining.
"There are monsters that only come out in winter, but the meat is very tasty and a specialty of winter. It's a dish with it."
"Gamelion, is it? You've heard of it before from other merchants. You think anything is a giant, frenetic monster."
"Sounds like it."
Gamelion's ears are as sharp as blades, and his fangs chew off if they are amphibious armor. Because of his large body, he exercises lethal power even if he is just hit by his body, and most importantly, he has very high leg power because he is a rabbit monster.
The movement is quick and the kick is very powerful.
If those who have just become adventurers encounter Gamelion, they will not survive without extra luck.
Gamelion is so much of a opponent.
To the description of Gamelion, spoken from Ray's mouth, the two Augustos and Kathy pull their cheeks together.
I wonder why you bothered to defeat all those vicious monsters.
Reading that question from the look on their faces, Ray disguises Gamelion's stew as a nearby plate.
... If it were meant to be, a maid would do this kind of imitation.
But now Augusto can't afford just to hire a maid all the time.
It's also tough to hire a gatekeeper Gunter in that sense, but Gunter originally gave his life to Augusto's father... it's also been helped twice, three times, not just once, and I'm thankful for that.
That's why I'm taking on the gatekeeper with cheap rewards, and most importantly with the Erema Chamber of Commerce... I can't just leave Kathy in this mansion in the present circumstances hostile to Daridora.
Especially this time, even outside the city, there was even a raid by a sand thief who would have been hired by the Erema Chamber of Commerce.
In that sense, I'd say I hired an escort with no more to make Ray sleep in the mansion.
Either way, Augusto and Kathy stretch their spoons, though fearful, to the Gamelion stew that Ray splits up.
I guess it's also natural to get this attitude because they explained how crazy a monster Gamelion is.
Gently spoon the meat of the gamelion, including it into the mouth with the soup.
Moment after moment, a shock I had never tasted before ran around my mouth.
A soup that is rich and boils multiple vegetables until the ingredients are no longer melted.
Soft, the gravy spreads in a glass of mouth when chewed even though it is simmering.
Then the natural chewing taste of the meat remains decent, and with each bite the soup and flavor combine to make you want to taste it forever.
Besides the melted and souped vegetables, the vegetables as a solid utensil are also in the stew, which can be remouthed as well as poured meat.
Two Augusto and Kathy, who took a bite and stopped moving, eventually swallowed what was in their mouths when they returned to me, stretching a spoon to stew after stew in such conditions as the second and third bites......
For a few minutes as it is, Ray smiles happily and opens his mouth when he confirms that all the stews he has served on the plate are gone.
"Do you want a change?
To the two of you who snort silently, I'll put a stew in it.
It was a great pleasure to have food that I liked so much that I couldn't say a word, and naturally Ray did the same.
"Panitas are delicious, but you're not losing gamelion meat, are you?
"Right. In terms of flavor, I've never lost a panita either. Especially since the panita Kathy made me tastes like the peak of the gosh. But... this is the first meat I've ever eaten, and there are many condiments used in stews that I don't know about."
"Right. Maybe this Gamellion meat is a lot of gravy, but I also want to know the condiment that freshens it up in my mouth."
Augusto gives a look like he found a commercial seed in a new condiment, and Kathy's gaze at Ray purely wanting her beloved Augusto to eat more delicious dishes.
But... unfortunately, Ray gave it back by shaking his neck.
"Unfortunately, I'm not making this dish, I'm buying the dish I'm making. I don't know how you make it."
"... So what about this monster meat called Gamelion?
"There's still a little room over there, though."
It was a ray with some mouth, but some of the mysteries contain somewhat less gamelion meat.
It's Gamelion's meat that I killed so much that I could describe it as a massacre in a dungeon last winter.
"If you don't mind, could you scrub it?
"Oh, if that's about it instead of accommodation"
So Ray gave Cathy about a kilo of Gamelion's meat.
