The Other World Dining Hall (WN)

Forest Capital, the last capital of the Elf, once tried to deliver the world in its hands with mighty magical powers.

Its surroundings are covered in deep woods.

The beginnings of this forest are even far away times for the elves who live a thousand years.

A time when the battle between the seven colored champions led to the mountains shredding apart, the lakes drying up, and the forests all returning to ashes, resulting in flat wilderness everywhere.

It is said to have begun when a large number of elves gathered for food to live in this forest, the only one left after a heavy battle.

Over 10,000 years, a rich forest kept protected by the elves, it is a great sea of trees that at the same time easily kills those who do not know the way to live with the forest.

The central forest capital knows the right path… It takes half a month to follow the magical signs secretly carved by the elves, so large that if you know the path, you will not be able to follow it for the rest of your life, literally comparable to the country.

Its breadth and the myriad of beasts, flora and fauna and demons that inhabited this great tree sea roam there feared to be a 'forest of demons' that humans cannot leave without entering it.

But for what actually dwells there and lives with the grace of the forest, this forest has the richness it deserves to be called the capital.

The tree, which continued to be much older than the days of the old dragon, itself possesses the magical power of a mighty earth, which divides the abundance out of common sense into the earth.

Elves, the champions of this forest for so long as they are distracted, continue to gain access to keep their richness with magic they are good at.

The abundance brought together countless creatures, demons, and beasts who originally preferred wild life.

This great sea of trees is the capital of the elves, as well as the territory of the greatest beasts of the eastern continent.

When they turn to their enemies, they never get their hands on an elf that is too troublesome (no tribe of beasts has ever survived by turning them to their enemies), and they leave the elves without doing anything about the beasts unless they turn against them.

Because of the abundance of forests originally, the beasts rarely wake up to each other, and the beasts live in settlements dotted all over the forest.

It was on a certain autumn day that Ricci and Toto, the girls of the two beasts, found it.

"Hey. Toto. There it is."

Lich, stuffed with seals in a backpack knitted with grass to take a break, peered into a tree sinus the size of which the two would softly put in, and said.

"Yeah. Heh, there it is. What is it? This?

Any of them and the toto peering into the tree sinus confirm it and nod.

For many years there was a black plate in the sinus of the great tree that had given rise to sweet and sour and delicious seals.

The Beastman tribe to which Ricci and Toto belong is particularly busy during this period.

Winter is now approaching, a season in which even this abundant forest will be food scarce and terribly cold.

To survive the cold weather, even children like Ricci are thrown out to collect food at this time of autumn.

The tribes of the Litchis, clever but never strong among the beasts, do not like to fight in the first place.

We needed to move early in order not to have a dispute over food.

The litchis are overall small, beast races with large, upwardly pointed tails that reach about half their height on their hands and feet covered with soft brown hair.

He does not eat meat or fish, but lives by eating nuts, flower seeds, fruits, etc.

The fruits that do not sun, like the good, ripe seals that we have now gathered, are eaten in the autumn, and the nuts and flower seeds, which rarely rot, are the centers of the settlement, hidden in the ruins left behind by the old elves.

That's how I live.

"Yesterday, I didn't."

"Yeah. I didn't"

Nodding at Rich's words, Toto touches the board.

Something about a painted animal, a door that is rugged, but definitely made of wood.

It is only slightly similar to the walls of the ruins that are the center of the settlement.

"Something's happening."

Noticing that the door had the same beautiful stone that was rolling in the ruins, full of gold, Toto casually hung his hands on it.

"Oh, this, around"

When you can put a little effort into it, the whole thing goes around.

[]/tyrin/

Sound the bell, the board moves.

"" Yikes!?

All of a sudden I'm surprised that there was a loud noise, and Ricci and Toto accidentally jump out of the tree sinus.

Peeping into the dreaded sinus, there was a 'hole' in the place where the plate was.

"What? This?"

"What is it?

A blurry, bright hole in the place where the plate was.

Richi and Toto peek into it unexpectedly......

"" Yikes!?

Fall over there out of balance.

At that moment, the two figures scratch off and at the same time the door closes.

It was the moment when the children of the two beasts became guests of the 'Dining Room of the Other World'.

"Ah, there you are!... No?

Aletta, who welcomed the guests as usual, blinked a couple of times at the tiny shadow that had literally gone in to roll in.

A strange species of Aletta, with large tails with about half of her body, not wearing clothes just because her arms, feet, chest and other essential points were covered in fur.

A bag knitted with grass on the back is carried, with a bright red seal from the inside.

That's good.

It is a daily tea meal that people and non-demonic species visit here in different world cafeterias.

The problem is.

"Uh, here, where?

"I don't know. Where?"

That a newly arrived guest who is discussing while lying on the floor is a child, no matter what.

"Eh, what am I supposed to do in these cases..."

I don't suppose that door discerns whether a guest is an adult or a child.

Of a species Aletta doesn't know well, besides children only.

Aletta, who has only been here about six months, didn't know how to handle it.

It is then.

"Welcome. Welcome to the Western Cat."

I brought the food. I guess it's next.

The store owner helps the two of us stand up.

"Thanks!

"Hey, here, where? All right, jerk off. What?"

"Oh, this place is about to mess with guests who come here like you."

At the same time as you get up, Toto asks the store owner and the store owner answers frankly in a tone that suits the child.

"Mei or Tamaki?

"Oh... well, what about apple pie if you're customers?

It's my first time, and I'm gonna fuck it up. "

Decide on the dish to recommend as you nod at the words of Ricci.

Zero from the bag carried by the two children is a well ripened apple.

In other words, I decided that apples would be edible.

"Ah, puffy? What's that, delicious?

"It's good. Ama ~ i apple...... hey there are plenty of seals in there"

"Azal! Am I?

"Give me a break! Oh, come on!

I hear that the other litchi and toto are also sweet and I want to eat them.

"All right. Just give me a minute. Look, over there, you can sit around there."

"" Yeah!

The shopkeeper prompted me and my two children sit at one of the tables.

Puffing his legs, he looks in the shop uncommonly.

"... that door, sometimes I only bring kids like that"

After finishing a series of interactions, the store owner tells Aletta.

According to what I heard from the customers at this store, the doors appear abruptly in a very difficult place, apparently.

At that time, it is quite often the child who comes to visit you to find that door.

In addition, even suspicious doors that would hesitate to enter if they were adults would make the child creep lightly.

As a result, only such children can come.

"Well, that's why I won't be surprised if my first guest comes by just the kids next time."

"Yes, I understand."

"Ooh. I don't like it."

The shopkeeper returns to the kitchen in the back, grinning contentedly at Aletta, who nods honestly.

Aletta follows suit. To serve dishes to new guests.

And.

"Thank you for waiting! It's apple pie!"

In front of Litchi and Toto, and it is placed.

"This, Azuru?

"It's not red or white, is it? This?"

placed in front of him. Besides, the two of them tilt their necks.

I can't see the red skin or the white pulp on the crack that it's a seal in front of me.

Bright soil color, illuminated by light. That does look delicious, but I don't think it's a seal.

"Yes, this is a sweet, sour, delicious treat cooked with a boiled seal inside"

Aletta carefully explains to the two of them, remembering the flavor of apple pie that they had been fed only once before.

"Really? Do you do it at?

"... oh, really. It smells like a seal."

Lich puts his neck over Aletta's words, and Toto leans over his nose to ascertain the smell.

I did smell a faint seal from that apple pie.

"Hey, hey, let's go! Looks delicious!"

"Yeah. Thanks for bringing it! One of a kind, hey!

Toto urges me, and Lici also concentrates on the seal in front of me.

"Yes. Then take your time, please."

Smiling at those two, Aletta gently left her seat.

The two grab and lift the apple pie with their hands just as quickly as possible.

"Oh, no!? It's going to slip!"

"Something's wrong, but it's a mess. This."

It was a sweet apple pie served to two people.

Just lifted by two people, the skin outside cracks a little, and the pollen and powder fall off.

Nevertheless, there is no obstacle to eating.

The two of them opened their mouths wide and hit an apple pie.

!

I pinned my tail and opened my eyes.

Stiff for a little while, right after that.

"" Yum!

Declare it loud and delicious.

That was better than any food, two people know.

Outside, the peeled skin collapses easily in the mouth when it is worn.

The skin is coated with sweet honey containing the seal juice.

Its flavour interacts with the fragrant skin and spreads sweetly to the mouth with the crisp and crushed skin.

But the real deal is after that.

It's in that 'apple pie', sweet azale.

Two know, sweeter and softer than any seal, then a little sourness is left properly. That fascinates the two.

Fragrant, sweet and firm skin and sweet and sour and soft contents to melt.

When it intersects, the apple pie is complete and tastes great.

Then, the two were silent.

Silently, try hard to taste apple pie.

Little by little, I cling carefully to avoid spills.

Indulge in the taste of your mouth before swallowing.

But despite those two efforts, the apple pie will soon be gone.

"" Huh. ""

Seeing it, I sigh out a sigh where contentment and regret resided half at the same time.

"That was delicious."

"Yeah, it was delicious"

The words, too, were simultaneous.

And the two return to the usual, the sinus of the great tree.

"That was delicious."

"Yeah! Let's do it again!

After that, they were asked what kind of place the other world dining hall was.

A strange store that opens every 7 days.

There's a lot of people coming from different places to eat food from different worlds.

"Oh, my God, we have to!

"Yeah! Right! Here's a lot!

I hear there's something 'crazy' about eating that dish.

When they showed me what it was like, it looked just like a flat, round stone, falling into a settlement where two people lived.

I've heard that everything used to be in a lot of holes to keep food in, carried out and thrown away by everyone in the settlement because it's useless to not even be eaten.

"But that. It was a tight one, wasn't it? I don't know about ours, but are you kidding me?

"Aren't you a jerk? You look just like me! That."

The two return to the settlement with such a story.

I don't know two people.

That what they call "Okane" is what the elves once did research on the site called gold coins they left as a legacy.

With that one, buy apple pie for everyone in the settlement and let the change come.

Then it is a little further away that the story of the special food that becomes' apple pie 'spreads in a certain colony of beasts in the Elf Forest.
