"Mm-hmm. From now on..."

Eating the dishes prepared by Nagare, Pierre roars unexpectedly. I guess it's something like not saying a word about how delicious it is.

"Dear Nagare, this is fantastic! Something called miso soup also has a somewhat relieving taste, and grilled rice balls are a flavor that will pull after you seem to be able to eat as many as you want!

It's better if you like it, Nagare says, adding more roasted rice balls. Of course, the grilled rice balls were cooked with miso on the surface.

Miso and rice, this is arguably the best dish to make use of both advantages.

Grilled rice balls attract people's hearts. If combined with miso soup, this dish will attract more people in synergy.

"This is a soba dumpling made from soba picked in the elf forest. Enjoy this alone first and try to match this miso to your liking. I hope it fits your mouth."

This dish was chosen by Nagare as a third dish. This is first enjoyed by the flavor and aroma of soba, and then tasted the combination of miso.

By doing so, they will appreciate both soba and miso as a seasoning.

What's more, make it a grilled rice balls. Make it a soba dumpling. One size at a time was small, and the flavoring was relatively light. The emphasis was placed on good aftertaste.

This is in view of the fact that we are eating a certain amount of meals in advance at dinner parties.

The meals prepared at the dinner party are sumptuous and all delicious, but on the whole, they are heavy. Oil is relatively commonly used in this world, and carefully crafted sauces are wonderful but often intensely seasoned.

In this regard, Japanese food can also be characterized by a refreshing flavour, so its goodness stands out after a heavy meal. Especially miso soup, which is perfect for the last tightening.

"Mmm, I also felt a little short when I first ate it, but if you eat it in this order, you'll see that it's just the right flavor"

"Hmm, my concubine didn't like vegetables either, but when it's in something called miso soup, she can eat it without wonder or resistance. No matter how many times you eat it, it still tastes strange."

"And to say this grilled rice balls goes well with meat dishes? I always want to keep it for my meal."

"And this dish, you still have a great effect on miso. The boulder is Master Nagare. I can't believe I'm making this kind of dish in this short time… I, if I can get this miso, would definitely make it for my leader"

"Wow, I must also teach you how to cook this dish, and now to Master Nagare -"

All the dishes prepared by Nagare were well received by everyone. He also impressed the Knight Commander Hinette.

And for some reason Elga's cheeks are red.

It's just that Pierre, the butler, still looks difficult. It's not like you didn't like the food. The expression on my face when I was eating was more of a culinary expression than an emotion to determine whether miso, rice, or soba seemed worthy as an ingredient to admit ownership.

On top of that, he seems to be thinking about it - so Nagare shows the impeccable pursuit even more as a judgment material.

"Well, today we have three things for you: miso, soba and rice. But we also believe that, if you can admit ownership, you can provide materials that will be of further benefit in the future."

"What? You think there's anything more?

"Yes, you can make new liquor from this rice first"

"Well, alcohol?

"Yes, and there's a seasoning called soy sauce. And soba dumplings earlier, but if you pick a little more, it's called soba. Well, I think it's more familiar to you to say pasta, but it's possible to make something close to that from soba flour."

"Is it soy sauce? I don't know what that looks like... but even miso has this impact -"

Hinette rattles her throat with gokuri. After all, Nagare's hand was perfect. No one can complain when they drop their stomach.

It's with Pierre, the butler.

"You do seem to have to admit,"

State that you look closely at Nagare. And both of the elves rejoiced.

But Nagare doesn't miss the fact that there's still a challenging glow behind that lens.

"But... that's a different matter if you just admit ownership."

"Heh? Hey, why not! I told you I'd admit it now!

Elshas bit into this statement by Pierre. Elmar doesn't look convinced either.

"I did admit it. This miso has shown us new possibilities for seasoning, and rice is great as a staple with a different flavour than bread and as a preserved food. The taste of soba is also common enough in the market. Other ingredients will also meet expectations if this is how it looks. But - no matter how much you are alleged to trade as a priority, it doesn't make sense if it's a small amount. So I can't shake my neck vertically if you don't give me a good idea of how much these things can produce and how much they can offer as a product."

"Well, I don't care if you suddenly say..."

"Let me now present this as a reference material. If you don't mind..."

To Pierre's question, he was an unexpectedly snotty Elchas, but Nagare cut back quickly.

How could Nagare have done this already?

Moreover, it is a perfect material as if it had also been used in spreadsheet software in this world without computers. Nagare's temper was still perfect.

And this is Pierre, who sees the material he's given as eating in.

"Here, this is the expected harvest per area of the field and the unit price commensurate with it - the impact on the territory that comes with it... I see that you need to purchase soybeans from here on the contrary in making miso, if that is the case, indeed, I see..."

Pierre takes a good look at each piece as he rolls through the material he receives.

"... is that what you mean? If it does take at least two years, in the meantime, you can't pay the rent even if you rent it - some hands make it a loan, but then naturally that portion will be multiplied against what you harvest or produce... given that burden - if you do admit ownership and can keep it down at this price..."

Pierre continues to ask herself questions even as she puts her hands on her chin and glances at the material.

But I also guessed to Nagare that it was atmospherically pleasing.

And naturally this is also assumed for Nagare. In any case, the most important thing in this case is the right to make deals with the Lords as a matter of priority.

If the only person to deal with is a merchant in Greenwood territory, this story will not work so favorably.

However, it is also the passage of the free-commercial city of Connelt, located to the south when it comes to the territory of Greenwood and, in particular, the city of Hamma.

The merchants of Connelt are greedy when it comes to commerce, in both good and bad ways.

If such Connelt merchants knew about things like rice and miso, they would push under the elves to get them even if they wanted to.

As for Pierre, who sat in Elga's place, that's all I really want to avoid more than knowing the value of this item.

And...

"... apparently - it's my loss. Sure enough, we don't have all this material available... and if you can trade all this quantity as a priority, it's worth acknowledging ownership - that's Pierre's view. The final decision needs to be taken by Master Elga…"

"... thanks Pierre. You did a great job. I'm so glad I asked you."

Finally I heard the broken Pierre's answer and smiled as Elga labored him.

I'm sorry to hear that, but Pierre will take his seat.

"Dear Pierre, you can't win or lose this deal. Besides, I am delighted to have been able to negotiate with Master Pierre. And thank you for your continued support."

Nagare told him that he was going to spill such a refreshing grin that the man was also going to fall in love.

And shake hands firmly with each other. Elmar and Elchas also raised their voices of joy at that appearance.

However, naturally this is not the end of the negotiations. Further details need to be arranged in the future, and the extent of ownership needs to be jewelled.

Ultimately, of course, it will also be necessary to conclude a contract in writing.

In addition, it is necessary to wait at least two years for it to be established as a business either way.

Make it rice, make it miso. That's how long it takes.

Especially after understanding it, he decided it was well worth doing business with the elves in the future.

And instead of Pierre, Elga sits in front of Nagare. And I smiled and said.

"I believe in both Pierre and Nagare. So let me acknowledge your ownership of the elves. I just wanted to ask you a favor, okay?

Mouth as Elga stares into Nagare's eyes. To that word, please? and the two elves repeat wonderfully, though.

"... Actually, I've been called by the eastern border uncle, and he's been kind to me since my father's death, and I just never showed my face either - so I really needed to attend this time."

"Wait, Master Elga, are you kidding me?

"Yes, if it's Nagare, I can safely count on you -"

I listened that far, and Nagare also guessed as soon as possible what each request was.

And Elga's wish was what Nagare expected.

"So I'd like to ask you to escort me on my journey, please?
