Legend

The table in the private room had a variety of dishes.
It's a bunch of dishes Ray ordered.
Fortunately, it is now too late for the peak of the day, so the kitchen was able to handle the large quantities of dishes Ray ordered.
… some of them lacked the ingredients and did not have the desired amount.
This neighborhood has peaked too much… which would be a drawback after customers have ordered a lot of food.
If I tried it on Ray, I was slightly sorry to hear about it, but if I still saw a lot of food lined up, I could put up with it a lot.
"Look, it's time for you to come out."
When Ray confirms that the clerk who brought the food left the room, he says so and serves Nielsen, who was in the dragon robe.
Standing on the table, Nielsen hails many of the dishes that spread in front of him.
"Ahhh! That's amazing, this. Humans are really talented when it comes to cooking."
My eyes shine as Nielsen's words to say so indicate that it is nothing but flattery.
The number of dishes on the table is about ten.
Other than that, there was still slightly warm bread and the soup was placed.
Every dish served on a plate on it is plenty for a few people, not very much if you normally think about it, but in an amount that can be eaten just by Ray. Yes.
But...... that's only a normal story, and if you're a ray, you can eat this much if you want.
Also, if you couldn't eat it, there's nothing like leaving it because Ray has mysteries.
"Hey, Ray. Where do you eat from?
"Right. Do you want it from vegetables for now? Here."
That said, I'll take the salad on one of the plates that the clerk has prepared for me.
Salad, but not just vegetables.
Crisp-baked bacon steamed river fish, rare mushrooms to pick in the summer, and fresh vegetables… Other than that, some spices were used that would otherwise not be available in the Guild, and the salad was one of the finest dishes in the salad.
(The spices... Could it be that the guy made them by the Greens is already out there?
Ray also hears and knows that Dusker was thinking about fostering spices as a reason to protect the green people.
It is no surprise that the harvest of spices has already taken place, beyond the considerable time that has elapsed since Dusker protected only the green man with the power to grow plants.
Most importantly, spices need to be dried and crushed after harvest, so just because they are harvested doesn't mean they can be used immediately.
"Delicious... these vegetables are a little different from eating in the woods."
"Well, if he's the one who raised him with the wild, I guess not"
That's what I said, Ray, but I understand that it's not always true that it's delicious because he's the guy I grew up remembering when I was in Japan.
For example, tomatoes that were grown at Ray's house.
Tomatoes are better nourished in order to survive by providing a small amount of water or fertilizer rather than enough water or fertilizer… Store sweetness and, as a result, tomatoes such as semi wild taste better.
Even mushrooms, Nameco is very different from what they were growing for their own use in Ray's house and what they sell in the supermarket. Nameko sold in supermarkets is mostly about the size of a fingertip, but wild - not exactly wild in the sense of logging - is also about the size of a palm when it becomes large.
Of course, most of them are better grown properly than wild things.
For example, fruit classes.
Wild fruit may not be that sweet.
However, what farmers are cultivating is sweeter or seedless than the wild ones as a result of an overlay of varietal improvements.
In that sense, I guess it means that the area is very different depending on the food.
"Hey, Ray, please cook over there next"
"Okay. Be careful, it's hot."
The next thing Nielsen said he wanted was a dish with steamed meat hung with red sauce.
Similar dishes have been eaten by Ray several times before and are quite common dishes.
However, if the cook is different even if it is the same dish, the taste will also change.
"Delicious, this. The sauce is made from sweet and sour fruit, and the sauce alone is a little too sour, but with the meat it turns off the greasy nature of the meat"
"That's delicious...... hey Ray. Give me a little more of this dish."
Was this dish tasty for Nielsen as well or is claimed to want more?
... As for Ray, I didn't really want Nielsen to eat this dish because I would eat less.
"Nielsen, the food over here is delicious too. That's the guy who baked the fish with the cheese. Besides, it's not river fish, it's sea fish.... this looks pretty fresh though"
Gilm is not bordered by the sea.
There is a river, but when it comes to obtaining fish from the sea, not salted, but raw and fresh, you need to send a magic item, which naturally increases the price for it.
(Oh, but it is for us, but is that not a problem if we try to be fairies?...... in the first place, it's a bit imaginatively weird at the point where fairies eat meat and fish)
The fairy in the ray didn't have the image that it was eating food-like food.
Enough if you have magic, and if you eat something, it's like fruit or nuts.
Or something like drinking morning dew.
... It's just such an image, and whether or not it actually is is another story.
"What's going on? If you don't want to eat, I'll eat it, okay?
Less often, the fairy Ray imagined was not something like eating various dishes as a delight.
"Make it, you fairies will betray my expectations."
"What, suddenly?
Was Ray's words surprising, Nielsen turns a gaze of doubt as he savors the dish.
In contrast, Ray shakes his neck sideways saying it's nothing, and then reaches out to cook again himself.
A dish that simply sautés meat and vegetables, but strangely still has a vegetable texture.
(Normally, when I fry it, the vegetables get stuffy.)
When I was in Japan, I remembered my mother's vegetable stir-fry, and there was juice in the plate.
But the stir-fry currently in front of Ray has no juice in the plate.
... Juice appears in the dish because it is stir-frying for a long time when stir-frying.
Also, I wish I could imitate something like oiling the vegetables before I fry them...... I don't imitate that in normal households. Not much, Ray's mother wasn't.
Ray didn't know about the technology around here, but he understood that the food that would go out in this store was delicious for now.
"Ray, give it to me too"
I think it's because Ray was eating it deliciously. Neilsen also claims to want to eat that dish himself.
Ray nods at Nielsen's words like that and splits them on a plate.
... It should be noted that, naturally, there are no dishes like those used by Nielsen, so Nielsen was eating the dishes with his bare hands.
(You should have a small spoon or fork, like a fairy can use.... most of all, if they say it's normal to eat fairies by hand, I can't help but deal with that)
Common fairy imagery is a lot like pity.
Such a pathetic fairy eating dishes with a grasp of her hand… If anyone who knows nothing sees this, it will be very, very unacceptable.
(No, maybe the perception that it's barbaric because it's hand-grabbing is odd)
In fact, when Ray was in Japan, I had seen on TV that some cultures eat hand-grabbed without things like spoons, forks, or chopsticks.
It's not about undisclosed tribes, it's about countries that usually have high cultures.
"What's the matter with you?
Leaks such a voice to Ray, who sees himself with a look of doubt.
If I tried Nielsen, I wouldn't have understood what Ray meant by his actions.
"No, it's nothing. Besides, I think you like the food here."
"Yeah, every dish is delicious.... Give me that bread."
Nod at Nielsen's words and chop a thousand pieces of bread.
Not long ago...... if I had come to this store just at noon, the bread would have been freshly baked and even better.
But now the bread is much cooler than it is too late in the day, and the fragrant fragrance is not… but it is still considerably less.
It was such bread, but still only served in a slightly expensive store, and Nielsen was eating deliciously from the bottom of his heart.
"This is delicious. The outside is fragrant, the inside is soft."
Nielsen is the size of a palm across the body. Naturally his face was small and he was eating bread in such a way that Ray would stick his whole face inside a thousand slices of bread.
Such a Nielsen look is still more like a fairy than eating a hand-grabbed dish.
"Right. Then eat as much as you like. I still have the price for yesterday."
The money Nielsen spent yesterday shopping was deposited from Dusker.
I bought a good amount of Nielsen but still had quite a bit of money left.
Given the amount, I can still afford to ask for a good amount in this store.
Not to mention... the fairy Nielsen is never much to be eaten because of its small body.
To be honest, most of this dish will disappear into Ray's belly.
Because not everyone eats like Ray.
"Heh... I was wondering if this dish is sweet because it's good"
That's what Ray said, stir-fry again.
However, some ingredients contain sweet fruit.
It is a sweet fruit, even if eaten normally, and is often eaten as a dessert or snack.
By sautéing it with spicy spices and areas where even oak meat was less fat, and nuts similar to walnuts, its sweetness had turned into a flavor that stimulated wonder and appetite.
"When I hang it on top of a udon or something, it looks pretty tasty though. Isn't there just any udon?... No, can I ask for it? Nielsen, hide a little under the table. If we do well, we might be able to have better food.... but if I could find it, I'd make a fuss. What do we do? If you're not sure, you can give up delicious food."
As for Ray, I knew there was such a dish in this store.
If so, you don't have to eat today. You can come back to this store and eat.
Unlike such a ray, Nielsen is no easier to imitate than being a fairy to come to this store.
No, if you're unscrupulous, you'll be able to come to this store, but then you won't be where you get disturbed and eat food.
Does Nielsen know that too...... no, or he simply finds out that if he is hidden and can't find it, he can eat good food and hide under the table with his bread.
"Fine."
To Nielsen's simple appearance, Ray still smiles when he can eat here today... ringing the bell that's in the room.
Then, less than a minute later, the clerk showed up.
"Excuse me. What can I do for you?
"Oh, can you ask for udon? Only udon noodles, however, boiled slightly hardened, washed it in water, took the marinade, and then let it dive into hot water again. I don't need soup or anything like that."
"How many will it take?
"Right. … If you look at this dish, can it be for about five people?"
I would have liked to have eaten more rays if I could, but with more than that, I get less utensils and more udon.
Of course, I could do the same imitation in a dish other than the one Ray caught my eye on... that was there and I thought it would taste better with the bread.
One moment, please.
Thank you, the clerk is leaving.
Looking at it, Nielsen shows up from under the table.
"Phew. That was pretty funny.... and the bread was delicious. Oh, give me that bread over there. Something a little different from other breads."
The next thing Nielsen wanted was bread with ham in it.
Was the bread popular or smaller in number than the others?
"Here."
Give the bread to Nielsen by chopping it, and Ray also carries the bread to his mouth.
The sweetness of the bread combined with the saltiness of the ham, such a happy flavour that you will always be able to eat.
Enjoying the flavor, Ray waited for the udon to come.
