The next day after a leisurely day, Val had no plans, so he had a normal day.
　First of all, he brings in the food that the innkeeper stocks in the morning.
　If it's a first class area, he hires a reliable carrier even if it's expensive, but if it's a second class area, he often hires a familiar face that he can trust.
　Even though I knew it was an imperial city and it was a rare occurrence, it was an ironclad rule of business to assume the contingency.
　Val, who has many acquaintances and is considered to be harmless to human beings by all, gets this kind of work rather often.
　It's probably the biggest reason why people around him don't question him, even if he's only a ninth level adventurer and seems to be fine with not being able to take a good job.
　After that, it's lunch.

''Where shall we have lunch today?''

　As he mumbles as he wipes the sweat from his forehead, the landlady at the inn provides us with information.

I heard that a new restaurant called "Manpuku brothers" has opened at the west exit of Sanban Street. I heard they're offering desserts, too.

Yeah, I think I'm going to have to give it a try.

　He thanked her and headed down Third Street.
　From the innkeeper's point of view, he turned right and headed north, and at the fifth street, he turned left at the west entrance to Sanban Street.
　It wasn't hard to find the sign that said "Manpuku Brothers".
　Once inside, a petite, charming rabbit-like girl in her late teens greets me.

''Welcome. You are the first person to visit us, aren't you? Are you on your own?

　The girl looked good with her red apron and smile.

'Oh, I'm alone,'

Well, you can sit here.

　There are only six counter seats, two tables for two, and one table for four.
　There are only three empty counter seats among them, so you could say that the restaurant is quite busy.
　The clientele is a pair of young women and four people who seem to be housewives at the table, and a woman in her 20s and a man at the counter.

(Was there another male customer besides me?)

　Baru is a little relieved.
　Because, as expected, he can't help but feel uncomfortable when the customers are all women.

'The list is here, sir.

　The girl offers you a cheap piece of animal skin paper.

(Nine coppers for the daily lunch with soup, dessert and drink. (Nine coppers for the daily lunch with soup, dessert and drink. It's cheap. (Is it the same in this restaurant that the price of a single item is more expensive?

　Val thinks.
　Soup and drinks are three coppers if ordered individually, and the main course is five to seven coppers, so it's quite a bargain.

A daily lunch. Soup, dessert and drink set.

Would you like to have a drink?

　When asked by the girl, he checks the drinks section again.
　It seems that there are three types of drinks that can be attached to lunch: water, sheep's milk and bean tea.

'I'll have the sheep's milk, please.'

Okay. One moment, please.

　What is today's daily change?
　It's somewhat regrettable that it wasn't explained to me because he didn't ask.
　As for Val, he doesn't want to be blinded by it, and he's going to enjoy it when he gets here.
　It would be wild to think that if he wanted to, he could look around the restaurant and someone would have asked for it.
　After waiting long enough, what came out was a bowl of hard black bread, grilled white fish, a soup with five or six small slices of carrots and sheep's milk.

'May I have a baked apple for dessert after dinner?

Yeah.

　After answering the girl, Bal first picked up a spoon and tasted the soup.
　It was slightly salty, but he could also taste the flavor of the carrots.

'Yeah. That's pretty good.'

　The grilled white fish is also well heated and is perfect except for a little too much salt.
　The theory behind the hard bread is to dip it in sheep's milk or soup to soften it somewhat before eating it.
　Baru thinks it's a fine dish for a second class area.
　The elven food and the food he had eaten with the Princess was also good, but this was the kind of food he liked.

(I'm sure Meena and Manuel would agree.)

　He thinks so.
　Though it would be better to discount it, as Meena doesn't basically deny him.

'I'll have dessert too, please.'

　Val told him to bring the girl a baked apple on a round plate.
　It was obvious that she had divided the whole one into four equal portions, and he thought that she was charming.
　After enjoying the taste of the apples, we tasted the bean tea after dinner before leaving the restaurant.

(Not bad for nine copper coins.)

　I thought.
