The Coffee Shop in a Different World Station

I see. So you don't have a master today?

Roland, who had gone to work for "the swordfish," returned the words as he wore his favorite apron when Natl explained why he was absent from Takumi.

It was Natl who had been pressing questions with Takumi for some time after that, but there was also persuasion from the "station manager” who just showed his face there, who ended up taking Takumi's place.

Roland gives a voice to Natl, who is dealing with Morning Sales, as he moves his ears flashing, checking his identity and tools as quickly as usual.

"Well, you look like a nattlemaster today! Say hello!

"I can't believe I'm a master...... Nice to meet you, Roland."

"Then what do I do today from? Usually it feels like I'm going to start making lunch..."

"Well, that's it, actually, I haven't decided on a menu for lunch yet..."

"What!? Are you serious?

To the unexpected words returned by Natl, Roland, who was about to start making sandwiches for the store, pinned his ears freshly and looked up.

The kitchen of the morning 'swordfish' is still as busy as the battlefield.

We must proceed simultaneously and in parallel with the purchase of products and lunches to be sold at the store while operating Morning.

The inability to waste a little time was that Roland was staining himself well enough.

Of course, naturally Natl understands that.

But unlike the mornings I had prepared in advance, when I had to decide on a menu for lunch on behalf of Takumi, I had no idea what to serve.

"In the meantime, we are moving ahead with the arrows (rice) and pasta (pasta) required for lunch. But if you think about what Takumi would serve at lunch today, you don't know what to make..."

"Hmmm, what the master is going to make... even so, because the master seems like someone with an idea like a mountain..."

The lunch menu offered at the coffee shop "Tsubame" is “A Lunch" in "Rice Meal", “B Lunch" in "Snack System" such as sandwiches, “C Lunch" in "Plate Set" that combines the main dish with side dishes, and “Patranch" with Pato as its main dish.

If it is a regular takumi, the menu and quantity to be served will be determined, also taking into account the climate of the day, the projected flow of customers, the menu that was offered most recently, and the changes in the taste of each of the four varieties.

When it came to being expected to be at the same level as this, there was no reason for Natl to be confused.

"And let's just think while we do what we can now! Uh, you've decided on a menu for 'Meauca', haven't you?

"Ugh, it's been a long time since I'm going to go back to square one today and make it a ginger pork sandwich. And then we'll refill the baked sweets."

"Well, I'll help you out, too. Move your hands and come up with ideas!

"Roger that!

The two then come up with lunch ideas as they move their hands.

However, although I'll try to arrange a lot of menus, it's hard to come up with something like this because I served it at lunch a few days ago, or I don't have enough planting time.

In the meantime too, time has passed, and the rushing colors have darkened on Natl's expression.

Then, from the back door of the kitchen, “Station Manager" made a slight face.

"What do you say? Are you ready?

"" Station Manager. "Huh! Well, I still can't decide on the menu and I knew it would be me..."

Once he stops his hand and raises his face, Natl.

Is it because of the chopped seboria (onion) or is it another reason?

Roland also spoke to the "station manager” in an uneasy voice.

"I'm just feeling the master's awesomeness again. But considering that 'swordfish' lunch seems like something you can confidently put out, you're really going to be a master's thing..."

"It is. I'm thinking of a lunch full of creativity like Takumi makes, but I can't think of anything..."

"Hmm...... But don't we have to make anything the same menu as Lord Takumi?

“Station Manager," who was listening to the two as he stroked his jaw, slowly opened his mouth.

Although the words surprise both Natl and Roland "eh".

"You don't have to do anything to try to be like Lord Takumi. I hope Lord Natl serves a dish he can serve with confidence as lunch."

"But then the 'swordfish' that Takumi has cultivated..."

"No, no, I don't care about that. Today's master is not Lord Takumi, but Lord Natl, so think of it as your own shop."

"Speaking of which, my master said the same thing before when I was entrusted with the sales of the terrace..."

In the words of “station manager," Roland remembered previous events.

Previously, when "Tsubame" took the day off because of the construction, Takumi and Nyarch had been entrusted with terrace sales using the square in front of the station.

That's when Takumi, my master, told me, "Think of it as your shop, and do what you think".

That was the first encouragement to Roland to be entrusted with the shop, as well as his readiness to take responsibility for himself no matter what.

Roland remembers that and thinks about it still.

Then, "Station Manager” uttered words to Natl again.

"This time it was sudden, but I think there was something wrong with Lord Takumi that he left this shop to Lord Natl instead of Lord Roland, who has been his assistant for a long time."

"That's what you do... I really want you to be a different 'swordfish' with the power of Mr. Natl because I'm going to be your master's thing!

"But even if Takumi thinks so, customers expect the usual taste of Takumi..."

Natl looking like he still can't make it through.

But both “station manager” and Roland shook their heads sideways in the words.

"That's too much to worry about. I thought Lord Natl deserved a swordfish dish, so Lord Takumi left it to the shop."

"Besides, a lot of my regulars like 'new things'. Instead, if you heard Mr. Natl was centering and serving lunch, wouldn't you be interested in giving me a lift?

"Oh, sure you do. Then I wonder if I'll write it out later, even on the sign." I have a special lunch for Mr. Natl today. "

"Oh, no!

The story keeps getting bigger and bigger, and Natl shakes his neck full and sideways.

The rush was funny, and the “station manager” also spilled more laughter at Roland.

But that's also for a while. “Station Manager” speaks to Natl with a serious face.

"Lord Natl is not Lord Takumi. You can make good use of Lord Natl's flavors. Just like when you work under Lord Sophia, I think if you look closely at what Lord Natl would do to treat the guests who are here today, you'll get your own answers."

"How would you treat yourself..."

To the words ”station manager," Natl lays his hands on the kitchen table and drops his gaze on the ingredients.

Roland was also waiting for Natl's next word as he wrapped his sandwich for 'Meauca'.

And Natl, who had been meditating his eyes for a little while, looked up all the time and nodded naggingly.

"I get it. I knew I couldn't cook like Mr. Takumi, so I'll try anyway with what I can! Mr. Roland, when you're done, please help me plant it!

"I'm just waiting for that! Let's get this over with!

In response to Natl's words, Roland responds well, too.

“Station Manager" nodded with a satisfied look at Natl, who had finally started the engine.

―――――

"Your next order is in! Two C-lunches and two Patranches. Sooo!

"Yes! Let's have a lunch first. Soooo!

"B, lunch's on the way! Is the drink okay?

"Mr. Nyarch is handling you! Okay, I'll carry this."

At the peak of lunch, the 'swordfish' had increased the rush in both the kitchen and the hall.

Luna, who finished communicating her next order, carries the lunch she was able to keep.

"Thank you for waiting. I'll take your order for lunch A and lunch B. Drinks were after dinner, right?

"Yeah, thanks"

The lady with the drop year dog ear smiles at Luna.

The young woman sitting at the front also smiled and lowered her head gently.

Two smiles, followed and Luna's face dusted.

"Take your time, then"

When I dropped off my little billboard daughter as she returned to the counter with Patapata, she grinned softly at the lady.

"You were cute back then, too."

"What, you're still pretty enough, aren't you? Let's eat faster than that, shall we? This is my mother's recommendation, isn't it?

"Yes, I always decide to be here when I come to this city. Looks delicious again today"

It was B lunch that was carried before the lady.

Apparently, the ingredients are sandwiched in torteilla dough, folded and baked.

From the freshly baked tortilla dough, the hot air looks delicious.

The accompaniment was accompanied by a completely classic patata (potato) salad in the "swordfish" and chopped tomatoes.

My daughter, who had an interesting peek into the plate put at her mother's disposal, just snaps her neck if she's not convinced.

"Hey, isn't that Quesadea? It also looks like a cheese inside. Isn't this normal, then?

"Right. But there must be some trick. See, you eat it before it gets cold too."

When his mother urged him to do so, his daughter reluctantly took the spoon as well.

The A-lunch my daughter asked for was written on the menu as' Hoodia (Ingen Bean) and Hikimeat Curry '.

My daughter was excited about an unheard of dish called curry, but it came out with a sauce of cooked arrows (comedy) with stewed beans and chicken.

I was deeply disappointed by the look of Chillicon Khan, which I was usually familiar with.

(Well, that's what my mother says... But it smells really good...)

Pickyear dog ears similar to those of his father stand up properly and stare at him with a shine.

If you look closely, it is quite brown compared to Chillicon Khan.

I carried the sauce part to my mouth first, just a little bit quicker, whilst making up my expectations and anxieties.

"Wow! Lara!

"Right? Surprised?

Mother smiles happily at her daughter's reaction as expected.

When his daughter rushed to include the water in her mouth, she placed the cup on her desk with Don.

"This looks like a chili con khan, but you're totally different! What is this? It's super hard.

"So it said 'curry', right? You might be a little spicy and surprised at first, but when you get used to it, this sickens you. I use a lot of spices, so it's good for my health."

"It sure is a delicious aftertaste, isn't it? Then take another bite..."

My daughter, who has the spoon again, now shrugs the arrows and sauce together and carries them to her mouth.

The same irritating taste spreads to the mouth as earlier, but is neutralized by the sweetness of the slender arrows together.

I wonder then, the flavor contained in the spicy curry sauce came to mind.

The well-simmered curry sauce is packed with plenty of meat and vegetable flavors.

Seeing the shards float slightly, they are simmering chopped seboria (onions) and sanaolia (carrots) together.

Hoodia, which is put in as an ingredient, is dusty and soft, and has plenty of curry sauce flavor in the hiccups.

It reminds me of a familiar dish, but it's a taste I've never experienced before.

I learned fresh emotion about the gap, while indulging in a teaspoon, another teaspoon.

"What do you say? Want a bite over here?

What a pleasant way to go about eating curry, my mother speaks to my daughter.

On hand, a tortilla had already been prepared that had been cut into large bites.

"Are you sure? Thanks!

When he receives a tortilla from his mother with a full smile, he cheeks with a bite.

When I let him hold his mouth for a while and indulge in its flavor, he nodded it many times.

"This is amazing too! It looks like Quesadea, but the contents are so luxurious, and this one definitely tastes better! I love this sweet spicy sauce so much!

"Isn't it? This sauce must be a sandwich or something, but it's a ginger sauce I use every now and then. It looks like it's caught in a roasted chicken today."

"Yes, the meat is so delicious! And then there's Seboria, Pimiento, and tomatoes. Ah, this, they're both delicious and troublesome!

"Do you want some more then? Instead, give me a sip of your curry too."

"Ugh! So, what's up with the dishes? I'm sorry!

When my daughter calls the clerk, she gets a much better voice from the counter.

Behind it, a cat-eared clerk was pouring coffee into a cup.

She laughs so much at her daughter for being so adorable.

"Hey Mother, I want to stop by this store again before I leave this way..., can't I?

"Yeah, of course I'm going to. Let's stop by again."

Her mother narrowed her eyes and nodded over and over again at her daughter, who had completely become a "swordfish".
