Legend

"Oh, sit down. Sit down. I'll bring the food soon, so just eat this and wait."

When the shopkeeper ramblingly tells the Rays, he puts a plate on the table with tons of ham and sausage on it.

It's supposed to be rented out for once, but it's not like there's just one table or anything, it's just pure lack of other customers.

... No, though there is a lot of room around the table where the Rays are sitting so that Seto, who is larger in body, can be relieved without any problems at all.

Who did that won't even have to think about it.

It was obvious if you look at Johanna, who was arrayed right near the empty place and never said she would give this place to anyone.

Everyone who arrives at the table carries sausages and ham on the plate to his mouth in a way that feels like it's for now… at the next moment some people have a surprising look on their face.

Ray, Elaine, Marina, Vihera, Ara... Five people came to this store for the first time with a surprise look on their face.

Seto and two of the yellows were delightfully eating ham and sausages on plates prepared for themselves without even making a squeal.

Yes, the ham and sausage served looked like a regular, that's what they sell everywhere, nothing in particular from the outside.

But when I carry it in my mouth and taste it, I immediately see that it's not like regular ham or sausage.

Firstly, slight salt gas stimulates the tongue, and secondly, the flavour of the meat and its products spreads throughout the mouth.

A flavour that draws a line with ham and sausages eaten in regular stores.

Not very, but not the quality food that comes out in stores like this.

Faces such as Elaine, Marina, Vihera, and Ara are quite likely to go to a noble dinner party.... in the case of Vihela, before we left the Bestian Empire.

Either way, the ham and sausage now on the table were of such quality that they rarely even appeared at such aristocratic dinners.

"Yummy! What is this..."

When Ray, who swallowed the sausage that was in his mouth, screams unexpectedly, Johanna and her fellow men proudly open their mouths each.

"Mr. Ray, but you still feel delicious."

"Look, I knew it. I told you. The food here will satisfy Mr. Ray."

"Delicious, isn't it, Seto? Look, you want some of this too?

Though I was looking at Seto rather than Ray just a little bit.

"The same goes for stewing oak meat here, but overall it's delicious, isn't it? That's why Johanna chose it as the location for this launch."

"... no, so is the taste of cooking, but I knew it was Seto, right?

"Uh... yeah. I can't deny that."

Listening to such exchanges of men, Rays reaches for the plate again.

Rays enjoy the taste of ham and sausage again.

In doing so, once again, the owner comes in with several dishes from the kitchen to this side.

"Hey, you guys need a little help. It's easy to cook, but it's hard to bring."

"Ah, yes. I'll help you in a minute!

"Huh? Oh, hey, Seto!

Johanna's people take Johanna, who loves Seto, to the kitchen with the owner.

The Rays who see it stand up to help themselves, but one of Johanna's people tells the Rays with a grin.

"Ah, Mr. Ray and the others can stay put. This launch is on our side."

"... okay? Sounds pretty tough though."

"Yes, this is the only table I can use. It's not that hard, so don't worry."

That's what he tells them, and when he drops him off for the kitchen, Ray turns his gaze to Elaine and the others and reaches for the ham and sausage again.

"Heh, if you taste it this well, you're using quite a few spices.... it's going to be quite something for the price."

"Oh, don't worry. Essentially, the only ingredients used in this restaurant are those found in the dungeons."

The shopkeeper who came back with Yale answers that to Marina's words.

Nearby the marina's...... and despite seeing extreme beauties like Elaine and Vihera, the shopkeeper doesn't look particularly concerned and pours ale on the cup and leaves it on the table.

I guess such a shopkeeper's attitude was reflected in the preferred one. Marina smiles and opens her mouth.

"Just the ingredients in this dungeon, what's it going to be?

"Well, some ingredients are hard to use, but in the end, you're an arm. No matter how luxurious and scarce the material is, it doesn't make sense if you have bad arms. Conversely, even some of the ingredients around here, if you're smart enough, can quickly turn into excellent food."

"... I see"

To the store owner's words, Marina is just a little sorry at the same time that she is convinced.

There are some ingredients in the mouth, but it is only with the ingredients you can get from the dungeon that you will be eating this ham, sausage, and the dishes you will be eating.

But the dungeon to acquire the ingredients for the dish was certain to disappear soon.

Then you'll never eat this dish again.

No, you may be able to eat it if you can even match the ingredients, but even with the same ingredients, the flavors vary depending on where you can get them.

In other words, it was certain that the exact same ingredients as the ingredients in this dungeon would no longer be available.

In such a marina appearance, the shopkeeper gives a slightly strange look to his stern face.

But nothing more to say, he returns to the kitchen to pick up the leftover dishes.

"Wow! If you took it with such a hand, you'd have zero on the way! Hold on tighter! You guys, even if you're adventurers!

Rays smile face to face at that scream heard from the kitchen.

Marina, who haunted me until a while ago, was also smiling forgetting about it.

That's how Johanna and the others carry the dishes one after the other, yelling at the shopkeeper.

A few minutes later...... if I noticed, there was a dish of dishes lined up on the table.

And in the center of the table is a larger pan with stews.

A specialty dish of oak stewed pavilion with plenty of oak meat.

And I drifted when I opened the store door... no, the source of the violent smell that hit me was that pot.

An indescribably intense aroma that stimulates appetite.

That's the kind of smell that makes you understand that that stew would be enough to satisfy you.

Not only were the Rays sitting at the table, but all the others were aware of the stew.

(Yeah?)

Second, Ray questions.

I know that the first time I've seen this stew, myself and Elaine and the others will be deprived of consciousness.

But I wonder why even Johanna and the others, who have used this store many times, have been distracted by Stew.

One of Johanna's buddies opens his mouth when he realizes such a question about Ray.

"Well, I've eaten this restaurant's food many times, but this stew is kind of different than usual..."

"Well, of course you do. I'm paying a lot of money around the corner to rent it out. Even this one uses a little unusable material."

Everyone gets a convincing look at the store owner's words.

That's a double look of convincing.

I'm renting out corner shops, so I'm convinced that it's not weird to cook something I can't usually do, and that I can eat more delicious food than usual.

... although only Johanna and the others are convinced of the latter.

"Hey, it's a launch. Cheers, cheers."

As the store owner says so, he pours ale into a cup that had not yet been poured.

He was the shopkeeper who almost poured ale on Ray's cup as well, but Ray opens his mouth before that.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not good at booze. Tea or something... water is fine without it, right?

"Huh? No booze, huh? I can't even put it on the wind of adventurers. Hold on, I'll get you a drink in a minute."

I guess we should call ourselves shopkeepers of nearby thriving stores that respond properly to customer demands, even though they say abusive things in tone.

(You call this tundra, too?

Ray wonders as he sees the owner back in the kitchen.

Even in the meantime, the scent from the pot placed on the table never stopped at all, stimulating the appetite of those around them.

Eventually, when the owner returns from the kitchen, he hands Ray a container containing some kind of beverage as it is.

"What's this?

I looked at that transparent container and for a moment I thought it was glass, Ray, but when I actually touched it, I could tell it was some kind of metal, not glass.

"I don't know. It's a substitute made by an alchemist out of materials from the dungeon. Anyway, it's got fruit water in it, so it's perfect for kids like you."

It was Ray who found the expression child somewhat uninteresting, but given his current appearance, he decides that it is not impossible and that his inability to drink also affects him to shut up.

It would also be significant to understand in previous exchanges that the original poor mouth of the shopkeepers here.

(Even so, fruit water at this time of winter...... if it's stored inside the mysteries, how?

Needless to say, fruit water cannot be made without fresh fruit.

That was Ray's common sense.

But now that fruit water is more than here, even though it's winter, the shopkeeper got some fresh fruit from somewhere...

"Ah."

Immediately, I remember the dungeon.

This time with Grimm's magic we moved lightly to the lowest level, but when we descended with Elaine, we were raided by a herd of water monkeys, the forest hierarchy.

In that forest, it shouldn't have been impossible to pick fruit even in the winter.

While Ray is convinced, a drink goes to each of them... for some reason Ray is going to take the head of the toast.

Ray opens his mouth after seeing the owner pull into the kitchen distracted.

"Celebrate the successful resolution of all things about the dungeon, about Vihera and Rodos...... cheers!

Cheers!

Everyone's cups will be raised and words will be aligned.

Seto and Yellow unfortunately didn't have a cup, but I guess they understood that they were still celebrating. He squeals happily, and the yellow similarly squeals on the table.

"Pfft...... yummy! After all, this is the best cup after work!"

A fellow Johanna man screams delightfully after drinking up the ale that was in the glass.

Are the others in agreement with that, putting the cup of ale on the table, each nodding and opening his mouth?

"Mr. Vihella's consciousness is restored, above all."

"Yes, yes.... but I couldn't imagine anything like Vihella losing consciousness."

"Seto, do you want this? Delicious, isn't it?

"Ah, let's eat stew, stew"

With that conversation, each reaches out to the cooking.

... but naturally it was the pot in the middle of the table where everyone's attention was directed... it was the stew of oak meat on this shop's iconic menu.

Of course, there are a variety of other oak dishes in this store.

Like a substitute for vegetables and simmering besides stew or just pure meat simmered......

Still, the most popular was the stew now on the table.

Besides, this stew is no ordinary stew. It is a substitute for the use of materials that are not normally available.

There was no reason not to be conscious of the stew.

Quickly, the marina will split the stew for everyone.

Its stew, also partitioned by Ceto and Yellow, releases what is extraordinarily to be called scented violence, just moving from pan to plate and approaching.

The first thing Ray did with the spoon was boiled oak meat, naturally.

It will allow adventurers to eat well. Throw that meat into your mouth, cut into larger pieces.

Moment after moment, the meat asserts itself just wondering if this is still in Ray's mouth.

Normally the boiled meat has a texture that can be dissolved in the mouth, but this meat is different.

It still has a good bite as meat, and the flavor of intense meat spreads through your mouth.

Even though it is simmered, if you chew the meat, the gravy will overflow thoroughly.

Did you just cook the meat and put it in later?

That's what I thought, Ray, but I'll immediately deny it in my heart.

The meat is firmly stained with stew flavor. You can't do this without simmering for a long time.

"... delicious..."

All Ray could do was follow the impulse from the bottom of his heart and squeal like that.
