The Other World Dining Hall (WN)
Deep-fried Tofu
On a boat that floats in a clear blue sky the same phase.
On a raggedly swinging deck, Alice stomped her foot on a good foot and stood not to fall.
What is in its hands is a huge swing of wands that cut out branches of ancient trees and engraved with intricate texts...... a magic wand made for Alice by her 'master'.
Set it up and sometimes hold onto it, spinning the "carpet" taught by the master.
"Go eh!
At the end of the day, he shoots magic with temper. A glowing magic arrow pops out of the tip of the wand... slamming the sea with nothing.
The challenge imposed on Alice was to shoot this magical arrow in order to become accustomed to the magic itself and to be able to use the magic while observing the teachings that she should not shoot at creatures in practice.
When his master was as young as Alice, he was taught magic by his father and mother in the same way, and said he practiced magic arrows in the same way every day toward grassy, unproduced rocks.
Repeat that three times, sit back feeling tired, and say pompous.
"... hima"
I don't mind my clothes getting dirty, I sit back and see a clear, cloudless sky.
It's been about half a month since I've traveled, my voyage across continents has been free everywhere.
"Hi-ma."
Before boarding the ship, people without pointy ears told me it was a lot harder. Sometimes terrible rain and wind come, and even demons who live in the sea attack them.
If you fall into the ocean, it won't help you first, and there are plenty of ships that disappeared to the bottom of the ocean without reaching their destination in the first place.
If any big ship meets a big storm or a giant sea demon, there's not a single one.
I was really scared when I heard that, and after I heard that story, my master also rescheduled to stay in town to separate the branches of Oki that grew in the back of the nearby woods, and I know he came prepared to do all sorts of things to cross the ocean to make a protective cane that would make it easier to handle witchcraft and give it to Alice, buy and make all sorts of medicines, and hang witchcraft on bows and arrows.
Alice and I learned a lot after being left in the woods that day and picked up by our master.
... I don't know if it's because of that amulet, there's nothing about the incident that seems to have happened, but life just rocks on the boat, although I'm very free, that must be a good thing.
- Well, I don't think there are any sea followers attacking humans with this, and there's a storm-proof prayer... be really careful.
Perhaps nothing happens thanks to the "horse mackerel" made of stone and seashells picked at the bottom of the sea, which was given to me by the "serious aunt" who became close to me in the town of the sea.
I remember my master looking so surprised the first time I got it, and somehow Alice feels that the amulet has a strong power.
My first sailing journey took place well. So much so that it never goes too well.
"... more"
After sitting on the deck for a while, Alice rises with a sigh.
Her master... Faldania, the elf sorcerer, is now caged in the cabin and using all sorts of writing and sorcery on paper, and Alice's opponents will hardly do it.
I want to finish the magic I've been studying since I was free. That's what he said.
"... and it's just fine. Speaking of which, I thought you said you could do it today."
Second, Alice remembers talking about that in the morning. She really wanted everything in time for today, and Alice asked me to get away from the room where she was sleeping with her master, and she went out on the deck.
"... have you done it yet?
If you look up at the sky, the sun looks a little inclined. That's the time.
What kind of magic is that new magic that my master was making? I hope this is something you can do with your spare time.
With that in mind, Alice returned to the room at the bottom of the ship… the dim room assigned to her master and herself.
"... All right! Done!"
It was almost at the same time that Alice returned to a small room close to the bottom of the ship, without a single window but illuminated by her master's sorcery, and her master of sorcery, Fardania, completed her sorcery.
"Oh, Alice. That was just fine. I got it. New sorcery!"
"Uh... congratulations?
Alice gives Fardania a word of celebration as she finds herself in a slightly off atmosphere from her usual calm and deposited girlfriend.
"Thank you. It only took a little while, but it was an easy magic for me to do."
Faldania breaks her face in Alice's words.
It was over a year ago that we embarked on the development.
... there is no way that a human or half-elf magician can do anything to himself. That's what I think. I've been doing research.
That's what's finally done. It was only natural for me to feel a little daunted.
"It is... what is it like?
Alice asks what sorcery she could have done, intrigued by the condition of such a master.
"It's a form of summoning magic. Magic distorts the flow of magic and calls for things that meet the conditions you specify from very different places and different dimensions of this world.
... Quite simply, the magic of calling here what you want. "
To Alice, who shows interest in such new sorcery, Faldania explains it in pieces so that she can understand it too.
"Heh... so now you're gonna, you know, upset me?
"Of course. That's why I did it all night."
One nod to Alice's words, Faldania makes a chant on the floor… while magic is cast into the magic formations painted on the floor of the cabin without permission.
New knowledge gained on short but intense journeys to knowledge learned over a hundred years. Faldanian witchcraft with the skills that went up on that journey.
That doesn't shake even if it's on a boat that shakes in the waves.
(... All right!
Eventually, Faldania grasps with her senses the signs that her own magic captured her nostalgia through the magic formations.
I've spent the majority of my raw life as an elf, a sign of a nostalgic forest.
Attract and summon, once and for all, the presence that marked the beginning of the journey of Faldania, amidst the trees that stand alongside it.
"... come! Door!
The magic is done, and it shows itself above the magic formation.
"... could this be... cat or something?
In a way, I'm used to seeing it. Alice takes a breath when she realizes who it is.
The painted doors of cats have been diving through many times since that night when I was with my master.
"Yes. The door. I missed today and it was seven days later, so I did my best... shall we go then?"
Satisfied that his magic had been done well, Faldania drinks a stiff spit and tells Alice.
"... yeah!
Alice also answered it with a full grin.
And a chillin 'chillin' and a bell sounded in the narrow cabin.
Fardania and Alice exhaled, more or less, on the unshakeable ground for the first time in about a month.
Although it is a serene voyage without being attacked by demons or meeting storms, it nevertheless seems that life on a rocking ship was hard for the continent's elves living on unshakeable ground.
Faldania, who once again found out that it was a good thing that the ground didn't shake, placed orders that she would not normally do to the service she came to pick up her order.
"You want miso soup because it can take a while?
Asked by Hayaki, the store owner overheard the order for the first time.
The miso soup is basically all on a set dish. Regardless of the pork juice served on meat day, I have never bothered to order regular miso soup.
"Yes, a pair of customers over there."
"... oh, I see"
That's what I was told, and I made sure that the guests I asked for were familiar regulars that I had recently started visiting with my sisters, and I knew what I wanted to ask for.
"What? What did you find out?
"Oh, that customer over there...... well, there are people who have long ears like that who can't do anything naughty.
Yeah, my regular grandfather told me that's what I call a race. "
I remember hearing it before. There are species that have long ears and never get old, and they hate food taken from basic animals.
As far as I know, all long-heared customers have been people who haven't changed their appearance at all for years, and that blonde customer remembers well because she asked me to cook with no meat, no fish, no milk, no eggs when I first got here.
"Oh. That's why you can't have our miso soup"
Hayaki, on the other hand, is also satisfied with the store owner's explanation.
Catfish and miso soup are sweet. I guess that smell is already saying no.
"That's what I'm talking about. Well, I can't even make kombucha miso soup... because of that. Do you want to match the dishes? As usual, I'm counting on you."
"What are we going to do?
"I have a new one I thought about before. Let him out."
That said, the store owner glances into the fridge. Just a thought...... I took out the silk tofu.
(Even cotton tastes good, but when you think about it by the touch of your tongue, it's silk after all)
Cut into large pieces and divide into pieces for miso soup and cover with a cloth towel.
Place dishes on top of them and replace them with heavy stones.
"Well, I'll make some miso soup while I can..."
It will take a little while for the water to drain out. In the meantime, the shop owner waited to see how other customers were cooking, while putting water in a small pan for sauce, and making miso soup without sauce.
Meanwhile, Faldania and Alice were enjoying their first shop in a long time.
The food came later than usual because of the content of the order, but the well drinkable, cold fruity water on land is delicious enough to compare to the old water with a slightly unpleasant smell mixed on the ship.
Coming into the long ears is not the sound of a wave that continues to extend, the sound of a ship creeping, or the snoring of an extra passenger in his spare time, but the speech of the serene guests.
Some of its guests also see witches, perhaps not human, who met in Fardanian friends and harbour towns lined with rice and nut spas on the table.
(... you look as good as ever. Good)
Look at that, Faldania relieves.
He boarded a ship, and since he got out on the sea, he has lived an invisible life outside the islands from time to time due to replenishment, but in the meantime, the world hasn't changed anything in particular.
"Thank you for waiting! It's Agedasidoph!"
And one day more demonic service girls will bring the dishes to the store.
"... thanks"
Faldania accidentally zeroed her thanks for the deliciously fragrant dish.
Hot air, brown miso soup, white rice. Thin, yellow tsuke thing.
mixed with them, and the dishes at the heart of today's
A golden, square dish that smells just a little sweet, hung to the point of soaking rather than sprinkling a dark brown sauce.
On top of it are vegetables with dark greens and something light yellow on them.
(This is Tof's dish, right?
Seeing that dish served on a deep plate, Faldania finds out what the culinary identity of this restaurant is with the habit of viewing dishes from different worlds.
Different colors and looks, but it would be toffee cuisine because it has toffee in the name of the dish.
(Does yellow mean... fried in oil?
In the port town of Faldania, which was also an imperial territory, there was something called a dish fried in oil with various things, a dish often found in this other world.
This dish has a fragrant fragrance that is mixed with the sweet aroma of the sauce and fried in fine oil only a little bit.
The aroma was stimulating Faldania's appetite.
"Hey, this. It's delicious! It's just a tease."
Alice, on the other hand, just puts her mouth on and breaks her face.
I've come to this store several times since my trip with my master, but all the food here is delicious.
Alice doesn't hesitate because she knows that. I just carried it to my mouth to make sure that today's food was delicious.
"... right. Then I guess I'll have it."
While smiling bitterly at Alice like that, Faldania also mouths the dish.
(Let's find out who you are first)
Carefully, cut out a bite to avoid the sauce.
As he cuts it out to sink in with a silver knife, he sees a thin yellow white depth from under the skin of the golden surface, and Faldania is convinced it is a toff.
Carry a bite cut out with a fork.
(Yeah... Tof, after all?
That was as expected in a sense, and tasted unexpected tofu in a sense.
Its flavor, a little sweet, with the characteristic flavor of elf beans, is toasty and unmistakable, and it is just as expected to say that the aroma of the surface is fried with oil.
Maybe something, fried with something like powder all over it. The thin part of the surface tastes different from the toffee.
Its fragrance gives it a flavor that is not found in a smooth, hot, pale flavor toff.
(but it takes a little longer than usual...... no, it's tight?
Taste it as it rolls at the tip of your tongue, and Faldania feels it.
I want a toff more than when I'm a toffee steak. Regardless, it's not enough to say that you need to chew it off because it's a toff, but it's not as soft as breaking the moment you touch your teeth.
But for that matter, the toffee tastes strong. The aroma and flavour of the elf beans spreads firmly into your mouth.
(I wonder how the hell it is...)
As always, dishes in this world sometimes don't know how to cook, even if they know the ingredients.
... with that in mind. Huh, looking up, I look strange and see Faldania, Alice was there.
"... Could it be that the ginger, it wasn't delicious?
"... that's not true."
Answer with a bitter smile. Maybe that's what it would look like if you did take just one bite and looked difficult.
So now cut it into large pieces, dip it in the sauce and eat it.
"... oh, that's delicious. This"
Try eating again, my voice leaks unexpectedly.
Sweet and soggy sauce flavoured with white, tight, intense tofu, shoyu and sugar, then alcohol.
The flavour of the fragrant oil on the fried surface that covers the tofu connects the two well.
There is also a small amount of dark green vegetable spice that is rounded up with some root rubbed spice, which turns into a light yellow color that accompanies the top, but enhances the flavour.
"Right!?
Alice makes her face shine and laugh at the words of Faldania.
"... let's have some soup over here too. In a way, it's our destiny."
Faldania now turns her attention to the soup, just a little distracted by the smile of such a child.
Usually brown soup made from miso placed in a vessel the size of a palm, just a little different from what we serve to other guests.
Floating as ingredients are beautifully cut into squares of tofu and dark green sea grass.
From what I can see on the side, it's with what I'm putting out to other customers, but it smells different.
It drifts faintly from the soup and doesn't smell bad for the elves. Soup that just smells like miso.
Spoon up the tofu and soup and carry it to your mouth.
(... oh)
The miso soup from different worlds that I drank for the first time was as delicious as I expected.
The soup dissolved with miso in the seagrass broth is simmered reasonably well and the heat of the soup itself is also stained over the tongue.
The sea grass used in the ingredients has a unique texture with plenty of sucking on its flavour, and the small cut tofu breaks down softly as usual.
(Really, I wish I could get this out of the ordinary)
You can serve this one instead of the regular, slightly fish odour-containing, human-friendly soup. The more I thought so, it was delicious.
"... Ahem!?
Seeing such Faldania would have bothered me, too, when Alice carried the soup to her mouth and shook her ears at the heat.
But soon after that, you also liked this one to see me stick my keys in the vessel and start eating.
Feeling satisfied with Alice like that for some reason, Faldania carries salted vegetables on top of white rice to her mouth.
The salty vegetables and the slight sweetness of the white rice undo the tongue that was stained with miso colour, then again, turn your attention to the mere agedacidoph of time.
(Well, and...)
After coming to this store several times, Faldania learned that the dishes in this store, a little after they had been made, had a slightly different flavor.
Instead of losing the freshly made fragrance, the flavor stains or softens a little.
A dish that can enjoy different flavors due to its unusual flavors. From the looks of it, Agedacidov would say that again.
(...... hmm. I knew it)
Faldania confirms after a bite that the prediction was a hit.
The sauce, soaked in, stains the clothes and the Agedacidoph attracts a different flavour.
The garment is soft and sweet with plenty of sauce inhaled instead of losing the aroma of fat.
Its dark flavour envelops the flavour of the tofu.
That's a little too thick.
With that in mind, carry Rice to his mouth.
Dark dishes add more flavor when eaten with rice.
(Yeah. This is it...)
Fardania notices her gaze as she was delighted with the flavor and proceeding to cook.
Alice looks at Faldania with envy.
In the vessel placed before Alice, there were no more agedacidophs.
Noticing how Alice was doing, Faldania smiled bitterly and moved about half of it into Alice's vessel.
