Kita!

Visitors right after opening today! Good, come, come!

"Welcome!"

When he nodded lightly to Mitsuha, he was a little fat man who walked around the store quickly. I guess it's about mid thirties. I'm not that old yet, but I'm already a little hungry. Are wealthy or gluttonous people who hate exercise?

Did you understand the general arrangement of the products in the store, the man seems to have started looking for the kitchenware corner. It seems that the scale is anxious, but pick it up and take a close look, then return it to its original position.

Next, he grabbed his knife and looked a little surprised, but he frowned at the price tag.

No, it's a pretty good guy. It is 58,000 yen, the purchase price. Even with two gold coins and five small coins, the profit is almost tiny, and the conversion rate is also considered.

It is a so-called “This shop also handles luxury goods. The technical skills are high. ”It's a product that doesn't care about selling or making money. It's a craftsman who forged by hand one by one. I watched it on TV and it was amazing. I was impressed.

Yeah, buy it!

What a man is moving on to check the next product while holding the knife in his hand. surprise!

I know good things. No, I'm a little glad. Although there is no profit.

After a while, the guest man came to the accounting table with some goods.

"I'd like to ask some of you."

That wasn't the checkout yet?

"Yes, don't hesitate to ask me anything, and if you like, please use your shopping cart."

The man puts in his basket the product he had with both hands with a face asking if there was such a thing.

"So, I'd like to ask, why did you sell that sort of thing like that 'scaler'?"

Is that something wrong?

"Eh, it's just a handy item. I think it's so easy to pick up scales that I can sell it to my wife who is good at fish dishes ..."

The man said with an open face.

"Well, how far do you think you are from the sea? There's no fish other than dried, smoked or salted that needs to be scaled?"

! Missing purchase! !

So, that girl's reaction ...

"And I want to know how to use them."

What you put out in your basket is the product you had earlier. Oh, it wasn't a purchase decision yet, sorry. Cooking related center? Maybe this is a cook.

"Yes, this is used for peelers and skins. It's like this. It's a sneaky tool for killing senior cooks, so that even a newcomer amateur can peel beautifully at a speed no less than a senior."

Men, draw.

"This is an hourglass. If you turn it over, the sand will fall down and it will always be empty at the same time. It is convenient to measure the boiling time exactly. It is convenient for 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes We are.

This is a can opener. It is a tool for opening canned foods that can store food that can be eaten at any time for several years. "

Well, recently it is not necessary to open cans. However, some of the cheaper products sold at bargain retailers still use can openers, and the first one is the ones that use can openers.

As Mitsuha explains one after another, redness is gradually added to the man's face. And ...

"Tell me. Why is this so expensive?"

The kitchen knife was placed on the pedon and the table.

"Oh, this isn't just a child's play house, just like casting a mold in iron."

"Now ..."

A man gets excited by Mitsuha's provocative words.

"This is steel, which is the best material selected, and is a gem made by a man, or demon, for decades, who has been a knives smith for several decades. A demon, yes, the "steel demon" is built! "

"I'm a hagane ..."

The man swallows the brim and the brim.

"Take a good look. The miraculous technique that combines the sharp forging and the robustness that is hard to break!

The man's hand with a kitchen knife shakes.

"To be honest, even if you sell this, my profit is zero. But the mission of our merchants is to pass the finest masterpieces from the creator to the chef. If it is too cheap, the creator can not live. And the chef can't buy it. In that case, sometimes we can cut ourselves a little.

"Oh, I bought it!"

The man shouted loudly, overflowing with tears.

Yes, there is every time!

After a while, the calm guest finally cut out the following story.

"By the way, I want to talk to the lady and the owner, but is it possible?"

"Oh, good, don't hesitate."

"Can you call me?"

"Well, why not?"

"Oh, oh, no matter how young you are, the only seller in this store is a young lady, so you're just a shopkeeper. Rather, I want to meet the owner and the owner of this store, not my employer."

Puah, usually, I think so.

"No, this is my personal belonging. I bought, refurbished, and stocked the goods. That's the owner shop owner."

It feels like an owner chef.

Pia, it's solidified.

… It ’s getting better.

"Then we ask. Is raw fish available at this store?"

Pia ~, is that the main subject ... From yesterday ’s three?

"Where is it?"

"I heard from Anke"

"Who is it?"

"Three daughters who visited here yesterday."

Pia, after all.

Thank you for promoting me!

"Oh, those three. I was the first customer, so I did quite a bit of service.

"Is that so ... I was pleased that I had good shopping and ate delicious food."

Pumm, yeah, yeah! Try to advertise more!

And it's a special woman who doesn't forget to stick a nail implicitly that it is a special service, usually higher.

"... Why fish? I mentioned earlier that there wasn't a lot of fish eating habits in this city ..."

And the man started talking about the situation.

The man's name is Marcel. Like her three daughters yesterday, she is a 36-year-old mid-career who is head chef in the Viscount Rainer. As a cook, he was still young, but he was talented and confident.

Until a while ago, he served as a second person under an older chef, but the other day he suddenly became ill and retired, and moved to a rural town where his daughter and his wife and grandchildren lived for medical treatment.

I can't help it because I was quite old. In the remaining kitchen of the Reiner family, Marcel, the second, was promoted to chef and was steadily working out despite being young.

But there was a big problem.

A woman of the liner family, adult of Adderet.

A 15-year-old noble daughter who made her adult debuts in social circles. Your debut is, of course, your birthday and adult celebration party at your home.

This debutant is a very important thing that could affect your daughter's future position in social circles and the future. Each noble family spares no money and puts emphasis on cooking and dress. That's about the amount of money for the common people in the area, such as one night's wealth, and the night's wealth.

There was no problem if the former chef was alive. He is a veteran chef who has walked around the kitchens of great nobles since his youth and has experienced numerous big parties.

But the veteran chef suddenly left.

Marcel's arm is not bad at all. It will be one of the best cooks of the same age. However, he did not have much experience at big parties.

At a small party that happened several times at the Rainer family, they only cooked individual dishes according to the instructions of the former chef, and there was not much opportunity to learn the overall menu composition, timing of serving food, ad-hoc response, etc. .

The former chef was going to tell Marcel at the party for this Adder's unveiling, but his sudden illness made his schedule go wrong.

Because the children's birthday before the debutante will not be a big party, the Rainer family will have the largest party ever held at home since the wedding of the current husband and wife. And the Viscount Rainer is easy to see lightly from the early nobles and other nobles. Absolutely no mistakes, mistakes or swears could be tolerated for her daughter.

"... I don't have the confidence. There is pride that the chefs in the area are as good as. But it's more of an amateur dish than a super veteran chef or royal palace chef who works for a long time in a noble home. I'm afraid that I'm going to humiliate my husband and young lady because of the food. That's scary.

Marcel shrunk as if her body had become smaller.

"So I thought I would try to surprise customers with dishes that you can't eat in this city."

"Oh, that's right ..."

Pumm, just sell the fish and that's it. They seem to make money and help people, so they're all old ...

But what is this feeling like tingling in my chest ...?

Ah.

I understand. This is that.

"Fun." It seems to be fun.

You should n’t let it go, according to my policy.

"Please wait a moment"

Speaking of this, Mitsuha hanged a tag on the outside of the door, saying, "We will close for a while because of a special request," and locked the door, and closed the curtain. It was good to make this wooden tag.

Closed a little earlier. It's been less than an hour since I opened the store.

Mitsuha returned to the checkout table, took out the wooden tag from under the table, and showed it to Marcel.

"Actually, we have started this ..."

It was written here.

"From love consultation to territorial management. We can talk about anything. Fees and consultation ”
