Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

Lesson 607: Fine Dining

It was about time that the color of the sky began to change.

Master!

Relaxing in the square with the fountain brings together Nil and Pilte, who enjoyed themselves for half a day.

"How did it go? Did you enjoy it?"

Yes!

You enjoyed Pilates, didn't you?

"Yes! I really enjoyed it!"

There are several paper bags in both hands, and their faces are smiling. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I'm curious what kind of things you bought.....

"Okay. Let's go then."

That's right.

Agreed!



Me, Heine, and Surakutan get up without even listening to their souvenirs and face the whole city.

Pilte and Nil are tilting their necks to see where they're going, but they're looking forward to it.

On your head? When I took Mark and the others around the city for a while and the color of the sky began to change from red to purple. We'll arrive in front of a shop.

”Are you going in here?”

"Yeah. That's right."

We arrived at a fine dining restaurant.

In fact, we stopped by on our way from the Commercial Guild to the Adventurer's Guild to reserve this shop.

It's a shop where aristocrats pass by.

Naturally, the price is quite high, so let's put it here! It is a shop that cannot be decided easily.

Even though it is a luxurious situation where money is not a problem due to selling materials and playing equipment that I asked Hurina to do, I have never entered such a high-end restaurant before.

Simply, I don't like this kind of hard place, but the fact that Nil makes delicious rice is a big one. Day by day, Nil's culinary skills are improving, and now it's better for Nil to make it than to go to the store.

However, when I think about it, it is Nil's generosity that Nil is making meals. Even so, Nil says it's fine because she enjoys cooking dinner, but sometimes dinner at the store is not bad either. And if you have money, it's not bad to go to such a fine dining restaurant.

When it came to the restaurant, I was concerned about the treatment of slaves like Nil, but it was said that they would deal with it properly, so I let this store decide.

It is located a little far from the main street and the hustle and bustle of the neighborhood, so the surroundings are quite quiet and the people are not far away.

The shop is full of a sense of luxury that you won't know it's a restaurant, and it feels calm based on black and gray.

"Is it okay if I enter this place...?"

“It's okay.”

I stroke Nil's head with a pompous smile.

“You don't have to be a child in the shop, so you can go back to your usual form.”

“All right, I'll be right back.”

When Nil reaches the shadows of a nearby building, he immediately returns to his original form.

Nil, who looks like a child, is quite cute, but the familiar figure comes first.

Heine and Pilte looked rather sorry...

When we headed to the front of the store, there was already a person waiting in front of the door, looking at us and bowing his head deeply.

"Thank you for booking with us. Would it have been nice for you, Master Kaido?"

The clerk with the face we didn't see when we came to make the reservation, but he seems to understand that someone told him that we were the guests who made the reservation.

Yeah.

Well then, please come inside.

The clerk opens the door and we go in.

The shop also uses colors based on black and gray, and the impression is quite calm. The flashiness is modest, and there is no feeling of being clumsy at all.

The lights in the store are a little dim, which gives an even more calm impression. The shop has a strong image of simplicity and smartness, with few fancy decorations.

I, Surakitan, and Heine are in the store that I've seen once, but the time is different from when I came to make an appointment, and it's getting dark outside, so I feel that the atmosphere is completely different.

"Wow..."

”T-That's amazing...”

Nil, of course, seems to be the first time that Pilte has entered such a store, and she is surprised to see it inside.

Khaido-sama, I've been expecting you.

As soon as we entered the store, a man of his race with a beard just under his nose appeared.

White shirt with bow tie. The fact that he is wearing a piercing black suit and that his figure is in the hall makes it clear that he is in the upper position in this store.

“Thank you for booking with us today.

My name is Hekkel and I own this store. ”

Owner? That's a very generous welcome, isn't it?

"That's... if you had the chance to repay the grace that saved this city."

"Oh my... it looks like you've found out."

Apparently, this owner. He knows we were the five who fought for the city.

"Don't worry, we are renting out to you today by Kaido."

Entire place?!

I don't remember asking for such a thing, and the store is quite spacious. It is not like a shop where only five people rent out the whole house.

"I was hoping that you could enjoy it calmly."

We're not dressed like customers who come to shops like this. He must be honest and suspicious to wear a coat and hide his face with a hood.

From the disguise we were wearing, it seems that he made it a private place, knowing that we were trying to keep it out of sight.

Is that... are you okay?

"Of course." If we can provide you with time to enjoy, there is no greater pleasure. "

It's super lifted up... but no, I guess it's polite to have fun because Heckel-san has done so much for me.

"I see. Well, let's have some fun."

“Thank you, then.”

As you walk along Heckel's directions, you can see the moving lights in the large shop.

"Wahh..."

A voice of admiration rose from the ranks of the women.

A large round table with a white tablecloth in the middle of a large shop. Five tall chairs surround the area.

That's all you can see in the store.

It's a table entirely dedicated to us.

You may feel lonely that there is only one thing in the wide store, but to avoid feeling lonely, the plants are decorated with stylish lanterns, and it looks like a scene that appears in a dream story.

It is not a level of elegance. The prestigious hospitality of this shop. It feels like that.

Did you like it?

"Yeah! I'm sure you'll like this!"

"Even if I'm a man, I'm a little excited about this."

“Thank you.”

Surat Heine is very satisfied. Pilte and Nil poked at the sight they hadn't imagined.

Then, when Heckel-san in the back gazes, the people who were waiting nearby move and pull the chair.

"Please take your seats."

"Fufufu. Thank you."

Heine is totally enjoying herself, undoing her disguise and sitting in her chair before anyone else.

Me, me too...?

Nil is not used to being entertained, so it's her first time being pulled out of a chair and sitting down. When I asked the cat woman who pulled out the chair, the woman replied with a smile.

“Of course, we are all customers.”

What a woman is saying does not mean that this time only...

At this shop, I heard that unless I received special instructions from customers, I would treat them as regular customers and make reservations.

There are people like Bourdon who treat slaves badly, but that's not all they do.

Although slaves may be part of the workforce, some people have a stronger image of the people they live with. Some of them treat it as part of their family.

Especially, if you bring slaves to such a high-end restaurant, you will be treated as a slave. If the shop side treats it badly, it will naturally upset the aristocrat who is the main one.

Therefore, in high-end restaurants, slaves are often treated as one customer.

However, because of the strong influence of Bourdon in this Janoya, there were many high-end restaurants that refused slavery. While touring the city, I talked to a few people and learned that this shop would provide solid customer service to the slaves, so I came here.

"Ah... thank you."

“No, we're the ones who have to thank you. Thank you very much.”

A female clerk of the Cat Clan who bows her head deeply without any hesitation to Nil.

No, no, no!

Nil is in a hurry to wave his hands wide.

"Originally, I would like to thank everyone, but you won't be able to calm down." Therefore, I would like to extend all my gratitude to you for your cooking.

Please enjoy it to your heart's content. "

What a wonderful customer service.

When you get to the best of the best, you'll be satisfied before the food comes out...

Learning from Heine, we take off our disguises and sit down.

Nil seems to be sitting back again and again with his back itching, but he'll get used to it soon.

At the same time that everyone is seated, a few more clerks will show up from the back and bring drinks first.

It is in a small container and I think it is an aperitif.

“Do you have any requests for a drink?”

"I'll get something to go with the meal."

Me too!

Me too!

"... that's all of them. There's nothing wrong with it."

Got it.

If the store does this, it can be enjoyed if it leaves everything to the store. We can all drink alcohol, and I'd rather say that it's a loss if we don't drink alcohol here.

Incidentally, Surakutan told me that my anaemia had healed and that alcohol was OK, so I intend to drink it today.

"Master..."

Nil looks at me and calls out.

What's the matter?

"What is this drink...?"

A small glass containing a bite or two.

The glass has a fine pattern on its surface, and the glass alone seems to make it quite expensive.

There is a slight purple liquid in the glass.

“You added bayef (sushi) and gres (lemon) to Waldi's water. I hope you can enjoy it before meals.”

The woman from the Cat Clan answers Nil's question, not me.

Waldy?

“Waldy is a plant that has the property of accumulating moisture in its fruit, and the water in its fruit contains a little bit of sweetness.

This is the fruit of Waldy. ”

That's why the cat woman showed me one of the plants that I thought was a potted plant.

Stems as tall as a child's nil, with elongated leaves bouncing outward, and handball-large brown, slippery fruits between the leaves.

Waldi was certainly a rare plant there, wasn't he?

“Yes, we don't go out very often, so we grow Waldi ourselves.”

Authentic sweetness is quite unusual in this world. As a result, even a little sweets are traded at a fair price. According to the story, the water that Waldy accumulates is also sweet, and it will only go out.

Nevertheless... the fact that they don't appear very often is a rare plant in the first place. And yet, if you can't buy it, maybe it's quite something to raise yourself...?

“Would you like to have a drink of Waldy's water, if you like?”

Huh?! Is that okay?!

“Yes, I'll have it ready for you soon.”

I'm exhausted.....

A female clerk of the Catman clan vanishes into the back, and Nil opens her mouth with an eyebrow.

"I-I... did I say something unnecessary...?"

I didn't expect to drink Waldi's rare water from that question. Nil looked rather worried, but there was no such thing.

"Thanks to Nil, I can taste the rare Waldi water." I'm lucky. "

That's right! Don't worry about Nil-chan, let's have fun!

Neither Heine nor I smiled and replied that Nil had nothing to worry about, and Nil stroked her chest.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

In the meantime, some of the clerks come and put another glass in front of us. But it's empty inside.

"Excuse me."

A woman from the Cat tribe who said so approaches from the side with Waldi's fruit.

Apparently, Waldi's fruit looks like coconut fruit, and he punctures a hole in the surface of the fruit and pours water into it, like a metal straw.

The glass in front of me was poured from Waldi's fruit. The color is slightly purple.

Wait for everyone to pour it out before everyone takes it to their mouths.

"Nh! It's just a little sweet indeed!"

When I tried it, it was certainly slightly sweet.

However, it is not as sweet as coconut, and there is hardly any fragrance. It feels like light sugar water.

"It's certainly sweet, but it's hard to drink with this."

"It's just a little sweet."

Well then, let's give it to you.

Drink the water from the first one served.

"Huh?! It's delicious!"

"Wow! Surely not at all!" The crisp aroma of citrus fruits spreads in your mouth, but it doesn't feel like it's too sweet and sticky! "

"It's funny how much you can change with just a little extra effort."

"I see... if you serve something like this before meals, you can enjoy the meal more deliciously... this will be a good study."

Nil seems to be standing on the side of cooking somehow, but if you're having fun, that's fine.

Originally, with regard to this meal, I was thinking of eating out if I wanted to, but among them is my gratitude to everyone who accompanied me in the battle.

To be frank with you and say it to everyone is rude in our way, or it makes everyone angry.

We decided to do it ourselves, and we fought for our lives because we were friends.

Even if I were in the opposite position, I wouldn't hesitate to fight for my life. That's because we all think we're friends. And yet, when I am told to thank others for their etiquette, I feel lonely thinking that I am the only one among them.

We all know that, so let's have a good meal together! That's what it means.

Naturally, that also included Nil. No… I'd rather thank Nil. No matter where I go, Nil is the perfect partner to walk with me without hesitation. I am grateful from day to day, but at such a time, it is not bad to be especially grateful.

A dinner party with that meaning begins in earnest.

The first thing that came out was a hors d 'oeuvre.

"" "" Oh! "" ""

“This is a salad of para-rise fish, dentobi (radish) pickled in vinegar, ash (lettuce) and tomatoes.

The fillets of para-rise fish are smoked. "

It has beautiful shades that you can enjoy with your eyes. It looks really delicious. A small amount, but an oeuvre would make this amount reasonable.

Para-rise fish are B-rank monsters, right?

"Yes, it will be very delicious if it is thoroughly poisoned and smoked."

"Heh... let's hurry up!"

When you stick the fork into the salad, it makes a crisp sound. Evidence of fresh vegetables.

When I put it in my mouth, the first thing that spreads in my mouth is the smell of smoke like a Nara tree attached to the smoked para-rise fish.

And fresh vegetables that make a crispy sound every time you chew them.

The daikon pickled in vinegar is thinly sliced and has a pleasant texture.

I feel that the taste is strong because it is pickled in vinegar, but it is the para-rise fish fillet that works there. When you chew the fillet of smoked para-rise fish, the condensed flavor spreads into your mouth, suppressing the acidity and harmonizing. The sweetness of the fresh vegetables also makes his face peer out of the shadows.

I didn't think it would taste too good because the sauce was not on it, but it was terrible. My mouth is full of happiness.

They say hors d 'oeuvres are an appetite-promoting dish, but there is no other salad that promotes appetite so perfectly.

"The salad... it was so delicious..."

She said it while looking at the salad.

Heine and Pirte enjoyed it while nicking, and Nil seemed to be wondering how it could be so shaky.

When I started having fun, a woman from the Cat Clan taught me today's course.

Simply put, it's a course meal.

Hors d 'oeuvres, soups, fish dishes, meat dishes, raw vegetables, and sweetness.

Heine and Pilte had a sharp sense of smell because of the vampire race, so they laughed and agreed that the smell was too strong.

This place will listen to whatever you say... fine dining... don't be afraid...

At the time of the hors d 'oeuvres, expectations jumped, but the restaurant's chef put all his energy into the dish, and it went even higher.

The next time we drank the soup, we became idiots just calling out words that were delicious and lacked vocabulary.
