The Coffee Shop in a Different World Station

"Well, here we are."

That evening, Takumi and Nyarch in a luxurious carriage that picked them up to the hotel, as well as three of Sofia, were coming to their destination today.

The door opens from the outside and descends first in the order of Sofia, and Nyarch, Takumi.

"Wow..." "This is..."

Takumi and Nyarch get off the carriage and keep their mouths open with pokans and look up at the building in front of them.

That was just a rolling sight.

A large stone building with a sense of history is lit here and there, giving off a majestic atmosphere.

The entrance is also illuminated with lights that are just blinking - probably the latest type of gas lamp - and bright as day.

Very every little dish of conditioning made me feel history and style, and the weight of this place resonated firmly with my heart.

As Takumi and the others were taken away, a smart young man in a swallow tail suit approached from inside the building.

"Welcome to Roses City, and the Welcome Hotel (Royal House). My name is Carlos Marimaid."

"Carlos is my cousin. I'm also your client in this case."

Takumi snorts one more nod at Sofia's words

And I returned the words as I gently held the hand offered by Carlos.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Takumi Kurogane. I've got a big role to play this time, and I'm still nervous, thank you very much. And erm..., is that it?

I didn't see Nyarch, who was supposed to be next door until earlier, and Takumi glances around for a moment.

At that time, I felt an unexpected sign of picking my back.

Turning around, there's a small shrinking Nyarch figure.

Unlike his usual easy to move outfit, he gently reached out and turned forward as he stroked one of Nyarch's heads in a cute dress with a pong.

"Excuse me. This is my dear partner, Nyarch."

"Nha, Nha Chi is Nha Chi! Nice to meet you."

Carlos names again as he narrows his eyes to Nyarch, who bows once again.

"It's Carlos. For a short time, thank you."

It's nice to meet you.

That's what it was all about, Nyarch going around Takumi's back again.

To that appearance, the remaining three accidentally spilled a grin.

"Now, what's with the stand-up in the front door, please come this way? Please enjoy the hospitality at the hotel, although it will take a small form as it is not an official venue."

That's what Carlos says, escorts the three indoors.

There was no waste of any kind in the trick, it was a feeling of style and elegance.

Because I'm unfamiliar with these places, Nyarch is grabbing Takumi's clothes hem and shivering into small pieces.

Takumi followed Carlos as he gently put his hands on the back of his frightening partner.

―――――

"Today will be a private invitation, so I'm afraid it will be a reception here. However, if you are eating, please look forward to seeing the chef prepare more on your arm."

After being guided through the Great Hall, the VIP Room, etc., Takumi and the others were passed through a reception room a little further from the main compartment.

Although it has been explained that it will be used mainly for meetings, meetings, etc. at the level of practical personnel, its establishment is appropriate and luxurious for a leading hotel in the country.

The large chandelier hangs from the ceiling with numerous candles, and the fine glasswork glistens with its light.

Chic condiments are also finely crafted, each with a depth of history.

In a dark brown, unified interior, only a bright white tablecloth floated to shine, also highlighting the performance.

Takumi often exchanges words with Carlos and Sophia as she sneers at the neighborhood in a restless manner.

After a while, the door was struck three times with the Concon, and Carlos called out, please.

"Excuse me. We've got your first dish."

Coming into the room were two women who gave a clear atmosphere of traditional outfits made of white lace.

If you look at the horizontal dripping ears peeking from between your hair, you're probably both subhuman sheep.

The dishes carried at their hands can be arranged in front of the four of them.

Served on a plate of white porcelain is apparently seafood Japanese.

On the side is about a quarter of the fan-shaped with fried tortillas cut into pieces.

Nyarch, who should have been nervous until earlier, suddenly raised his voice, whether he was blinded by the white, red, green, and one of the most beautiful shades of colour in his eyes.

"Ugh!! You're so glittery!!

"Here, Nyarch, it's a little loud. Or suddenly you're feeling better..."

A takumi that can gnarly in cold sweat.

Next to Sophia, who smiled and watched it, he had the look of Carlos turning a blink of an eye for the first time to see the naïve Nyarch.

But Carlos also quickly regains his mind and speaks up again.

"What an innocent and adorable wife you are. Now, the first item is" Seviche of the Sea Bliss, "which you can enjoy as is, but be sure to include it in the tostarda (fried tortilla) that accompanies you on the side. Now for meeting great cooks who have come from afar"

Carlos, who finishes his greeting as it flows, raises a glass of white sparkling wine that the two servants were pouring for me.

That was followed by Takumi and Sofia, and a beat late Nyarch also raised the glass again, tilting the cup.

As a result, the face-to-face dinner party began.

A piece of "Seviche of Sea Bliss" pairs a large bite of chopped camaroon (shrimp) or venera (scallops) with chopped avocados, tomatoes, and minced seboria (onions).

It's like, "Shrimp and Sailfish Cocktail Salad" to Takumi Stream.

Lightly boiled camaroons and venera go well with the acidity of plenty of sprinkled limon (lemon).

The spiciness of cayenna (chili) is accented there, and the aroma of cilantro (coriander) leaves added together adds a touch of freshness.

And if we put it on top of Tostarda, it would have added a crisp touch and a fragrance characteristic of fried maize (corn), creating additional delicacies.

Takumi mouths her thoughts honestly with a cheeky breath.

"This is really amazing. The more you eat, the more appetite you seem to stir, while also compatible with wine. It's the best appetizer."

"Thank you. I'd be very happy to wear the glasses of a wonderful cook like Lord Takumi."

"No, I'm not that much...... By the way, one question is, do you often eat camaroons and venera this close to“ raw ”in Roses City?

While Takumi is so good, she shrugs the ceviche on the plate with a fork.

The camaroons and venera used for ceviche remained raw in the central part, although only the surface was white and the colour had changed.

Probably something that let him dive into the water for a short time, or just watered it gently like a 'water frost'.

Even in the harbour town, the resistance to seafood “raw” was strong and this ceviche was a surprise to Takumi, who thought it was not very popular.

But that question seemed to be within expectations for Carlos.

When he tilts the glass of sparkling wine hard, he opens his teasing mouth through his gokuli and throat.

"Indeed, as Lord Takumi said, there is generally no habit of eating“ raw ”ingredients around here. This is because seafood is really easily damaged and often has a unique odor. In fact, this“ ceviche "is also used in the whole city as well as well-boiled and fired camaroons and venera."

"I see. Then you say this dish dares leave“ raw ”?

Takumi overlapping questions with a serious gaze.

Carlos also understood the intent of Takumi's question and nodded one more time before continuing to answer.

"Exactly. If there is a smell due to the freshness of the ingredients, returning the back means that if it is made with“ good freshness ingredients ”it will be less necessary to put through the fire. By purchasing specially arranged“ stay-alive ”camaroons and venera and keeping them alive until just before cooking, this hall is now able to offer the best taste of ceviche. Besides, the dedication of Lord Takumi has also influenced the ability of this dish to be served properly in this way."

"Huh? And what do you say?

Sophia started explaining on behalf of Carlos when Takumi was neat to the sudden words.

"Look, it's an example of a" refrigerator. ”Takumi taught me during the exposition. That reputation is amazing. You know, you can make your ingredients last longer than ever, so you're pulling them off at this hotel, this fancy restaurant or something."

Carlos nods yeah to Sophia's words.

"Since the exposition, ice mills have been created everywhere in this country, and ice has become available a lot cheaper than ever before. Thanks to this, it is no longer possible to carry the majority alive by cooling enough with ice when bringing camaroons and venera to this land away from the sea. Had it not been for the inexpensive available ice, we would not have been able to create today's sevices. We have heard from Lord Sophia that the ideas received from Lord Takumi have been a major driver for the spread of ice. If so, I know that today's Seviche is also a gift of the help of Lord Takumi."

With a glittering look, but a hot talk Carlos.

Takumi, listening to the words still, gave her cheeks a polypolished and illuminating look.

"I see...... No, my powers are no big deal. Some of you would have come to the same idea sooner or later, without having to speak to Lord Sophia from me. Anyway, does it still take into account the ease of familiarity that I dare to put this sevoce out“ half my life ”?

"You know. It's not a camaroon or venera that would otherwise be fresh enough to be eaten“ raw, "but there are still many who are resistant in“ raw ”. So, so far, it has been served in“ half a lifetime "with light hot water and immediate heat removal in cold water. If you like, can you also eat and watch" raw ”later?

"I appreciate that. Thank you very much."

"Hew, that would be nice......, Nyarch is full of more yummy but I want to eat it!

Nyarch, who I thought had been quiet for a while, has interrupted the story.

Looking at the words at hand, the plate in front of Nyarch is completely empty.

Apparently, he was a little too obsessed with the story.

"That's right. Damn, you two are both left alone with such a nice lady next door. Isn't that right? Mr. Nyarch?"

To Sophia's words, Nyarch shakes his head vertically with a cock.

It was Takumi and Carlos, who were gazed at still by the two women and had a bitter laugh as their bats looked at each other.
