On that day, Viscount Julio Gerhardt was leaking a deep sigh that I don't know how many times today.

This is the mansion of the Earl of Salzberg, set in the corner of Pireus, the king's capital of the Kingdom of Roselia.

No, more precisely, should it be called the former Count Salzberg residence?

(I had looked at the dinner party from the corner of the venue, but it was well managed inside...... they saw no upset that some servants would be serving since the time of the Earl of Salzberg. Apparently, the impact of what the Count was discussing is extremely small.)

That said, the Duke of Gerhardt sighs again.

(Besides, I'd say that dinner party is a roll...... if I could show that off, any nobleman would be saddened by the awesomeness of the economic power of the Baron Gozai family......)

Anyway, all the noblemen whose tongues are supposed to be fat flock to the table.

You were scattered all over the palace a few days ago when there was no way there was going to be all kinds of dishes at a dinner party or anything like that held by a grown baron...

(Well, naturally... if I could show you that one, my forefinger would move.)

Viscount Gerhardt had asked from the corner of the venue how things were going so they wouldn't be noticed around him, so he didn't speak of the food itself.

But even from the eyes of Viscount Gerhardt, who has a face as a gastronomer, that level can easily be imagined if you smell the aromas drifting from the dishes and liquors arranged on the table.

The dishes and liquor offered in the form of a standing meal are of a variety of first-class products.

It is used in spices and spares no effort that may have been imported from other continents.

Some things are said to be more valuable than gold of the same weight...

That alone would be comparable in size and standard to the dinner party held by the Duke of Gerhardt when he was excited for power as head of the aristocracy.

Moreover, the dishes served were original.

There are baked goods and soup-based stews, which are common dishes in the Earth's world, but dishes such as fried goods, which can hardly be spoken for, or steamed goods, which are easy for cooks to get their arms out, are narrow and lined up on the table.

In addition, what caught my eye in particular would be a dish that served live seafood on the spot and soothed with oil and spices.

With the exception of fruits and the like, the basic ingredients are quite rare in the earth world, where they are often put through fire.

Even the Duke of Gerhardt is the first dish he has ever spoken of, although he heard of raw food dishes on the coast of the western continent.

And what can be called that roll of performances.

(I didn't know we had so many stunning fish...)

Who would come up with such a thing as letting the nobles drop a fish of such magnificent size on the floor in front of them, let them be discouraged once, and then bring them an immediate replacement?

Ryo Mitsuko apologized for saying that it was a servant's illegality and showed it to him, but no matter what I saw, I could see that he had a meeting in advance.

Moreover, if the dishes of cooking are emptied, the beginning and end of the next dish will be brought immediately.

If you arrange multiple plates at once, it may be taken as disgusting, but it won't be there for the reason that it's to keep the heat of the dish.

As long as the excuse is vain for tonight's dinner party.

(No, it would also be in the calculation... do you mean you can get as many fish as you want...)

So Viscount Gerhardt shook his head small to the side.

(Indeed, the Waltenia Peninsula, that man's territory, is surrounded by the sea. Since it is also developing as a trading port with neighbouring countries, there will be more opportunities for access to seafood than for aristocrats with territories inland like ours. But... so...)

In the first place, Pireus, the king's capital, is largely off the coast.

Naturally, many of the ingredients on the table are such as meat and cereals such as imo.

Not that there are no fish dishes at all, but fish and shrimp caught in the river dominate.

Some of the most powerful people called gastronomers have never been able to carry seafood from the sea, but most of them will take days and become less fresh.

It's enough to make a joke that some of the reasons why nobles die every year are around food.

But the products lined up at this dinner party clearly have different freshness.

As far as the aristocrats' food is concerned, there must have been no raw odor, no rotten odor.

But that's not the only problem.

(Both the plates handed out to everyone and the utensils with the dishes… were ceramics handled by skilled artisans. The quality is not bad. It's a level we can use to entertain enough guests at home. But that's not the problem...)

Cooking is basically something whose taste deteriorates over time.

Hot ramen would be the same thing that warms up over time and changes the taste.

But if it's a dish with a grant technique, the story changes.

By instilling the vigour of the surgeon, we can keep the warm dish warm and the cold dish cold for a long time.

Nevertheless, that's not even as simple a story as putting it into words.

Surgeons who have learned the art of granting are quite rare even if they look around the entire Western continent.

In order to require knowledge as in grammar, the task of engraving a complex technique into a subject that resembles a tattoo on the subject's tool is required.

Furthermore, technical training is also required, so mastery requires more time than martial arts and grammar.

Also, many of the technicians who use the grant technique are exclusive.

Many of the techniques used in the grant technique are inheritance between relatives.

Techniques such as hardening and lightening, often applied to weapons, are considered secret.

Is it possible to say that the exception is the manipulation of coercion, also known as the curse, used to manage slaves?

But either way, I'm pretty sure there aren't many magicians who know how to grant magic.

(Besides, I don't know if a human with a plate would activate without intentionally pouring in a vibe... probably a terribly high consumption efficiency of vibes... the surgeon who granted that one is quite skillful...)

Granting technique is a technique that activates a specific effect granted by feeding the user's vitality.

So, basically, it can only be used by people who have met the spell of being able to control their anger.

Sure, even ordinary people who are not surgeons are still alive, but they can't activate a surgical formula with that degree of possession.

But the dishes used at today's dinner party smashed Duke Gerhardt's such common sense.

In fact, Viscount Gerhardt noticed that the glass of liquor he was holding did not add ice, but remained cold at all times, so he looked into it with suspicion.

(I don't know what means your firewood used... but I'm only certain that the hundreds of people invited to dinner tonight have the financial and hands-on resources to provide such a highly processed dish...)

Viscount Gerhardt understood what that meant.

I wonder how much I was delayed in my ideas.

The door was knocked lightly and a woman's voice was heard.

"My husband wants you to come to the office."

To the words, Viscount Gerhardt nods small, lifting his hips off the couch.

And when I held the glass placed on the table, I drank it up in one breath just to make the scenery.
