"Sit down, Ooh, sit down! I'll bring you some food right away, so just eat it and wait."

　When the shopkeeper violently tells the laymen, they put a plate full of ham and sausage on the table.
　It's supposed to be reserved, but it's not just one table, it's purely empty.
　...no, the table around which the laymen are sitting is wide open so that even the large set can be relaxed without any problems.
　It goes without saying who did it.
　It was obvious from Johanna, who was stationed very close to the empty space and would never give it to anyone.
　Everyone at the table carries the sausages and ham on the plate to their mouths... in the next moment some people look surprised.
　Ray, Elena, Marina, Vihela, Arra... the first five to come to this restaurant with a look of surprise.
　Seto and Yero happily ate ham and sausages on their own plates without a cry.
　Yes, the ham and sausages served looked like ordinary ham and sausages, nothing special from the outside.
　But when you put it in your mouth and taste it, you can see that it's different from ordinary ham and sausages.
　First, a slight amount of salt stimulates the tongue, and then the flavor of the meat itself spreads through the mouth.
　a taste distinct from that of ham and sausages eaten in ordinary shops
　It's not very good, but it's not the quality food you find in these shops.
　Elena, Marina, Vihela, Arra and others are in their own way present at aristocratic dinners. ... in the case of Vihela, before she left the Empire of Bestia.
　At any rate, the ham and sausage on the table were of such a quality that they rarely served at such aristocratic dinners.

"Delicious! What's this?"

　Johanna and her fellow men proudly open their mouths as Ray swallows the sausage in his mouth.

"Ray still finds it delicious."
"You know, I knew it," I told you, right? I'm sure Ray will be satisfied with the food here."
"It's delicious, isn't it, Seto?" Do you want this, too?"

　I was looking at Sett, not Ray, a little alone.

"The food here is generally delicious, as is the case with stewed oak. That's why Johanna was chosen as the launch site."
"... no, the taste of the food is the same, but it's a set, isn't it?"
"Ah... yes. That's undeniable."

　Listening to the men's interaction, Ray and his team reach out to the plate again.
　Layers relishing the taste of ham and sausage.
　Meanwhile, the owner of the restaurant again picks up several dishes from the kitchen.

"Oh, you guys, help me a little, too," It's easy to cook, but it's hard to bring."
"Oh, yes. I'll help you right away!"
"What? Oh, wait, Seto-chan!"

　Johanna's companions lead Johanna, who loves Seto, to the kitchen with the owner.
　When Ray sees it, they stand up to help themselves, but one of Johanna's friends tells them with a smile.

"Oh, Mr. Ray and his friends are fine with it's all right. We're on the side to take care of this launch."
"... You like it? It looks pretty hard."
"Yes, this is the only table I can use for anything. It's not that hard, so you don't have to worry."

　Saying so, Ray sees them off to the kitchen and turns to Elena and reaches for ham and sausage again.

"Well, when you taste it so carefully, you've got quite a bit of spice in it." ...it's going to be quite expensive, though."
"Oh, don't worry," Basically, the only ingredients used in this restaurant are those caught in dungeons."

　The shopkeeper, who returns with ale, responds to Marina's words.
　Marina's... and even though she saw such a beautiful woman as Elena and Vihela up close, the shopkeeper didn't seem particular about it and poured her ale into the glass and left it on the table.
　That kind of attitude of the shopkeeper must have been favorable. Marina opens her mouth with a smile.

"Only this dungeon's ingredients?"
"Well, there's a lot of stuff that's hard to use, but it's a skill after all. No matter how luxurious or rare the ingredients are, it doesn't matter if you're not good at it. On the other hand, even if you're good at it, you'll be able to quickly turn it into a superb dish."
"... I see,"

　Marina agrees with the shopkeeper's words and feels a little sorry at the same time.
　There are plenty of ingredients to eat, but this ham, sausage, and the food to eat from the dungeon are the only ingredients to come from.
　However, it was certain that the dungeon used to capture the ingredients of ingredients would soon disappear.
　Then I'll never be able to eat this food again.
　No, you may be able to eat them if you can get all the ingredients, but even if they are the same ingredients, they taste different depending on where they are caught.
　In other words, it was certain that you would not be able to get exactly the same ingredients as this dungeon ingredient.
　Marina looks a little strange on her stern face.
　But without a word of it, he goes back to the kitchen to pick up the rest of the food.

"Oh! If you take it with that kind of hand, it'll spill on the way! Hold it a little harder! You're just an adventurer!"

　At the cry coming from the kitchen, Ray and his colleagues looked at each other and smiled.
　Marina, who had been troubled for some time, forgot about it and smiled.
　Then Johanna and others bring food one after another, yelling at the owner.
　A few minutes later... I found plates of food laid out all over the table.
　And in the middle of the table is a large pot of stew.
　It's a specialty of Oak Nikomi-tei, full of oak meat.
　And when I opened the door of the shop, it floated... No, the pot was the source of the violent smell that came upon me.
　an indescribably rich aroma that stimulates one's appetite
　That's the kind of smell that makes you realize that the stew is enough to satisfy you.
　Not only Ray and others sitting at the table were paying attention to the stew.

(Huh?)

　Suddenly Ray has a questioned.
　When I first saw this stew, I could see myself and Elena losing consciousness.
　But why are even Johanna, who has used this restaurant many times, so distracted by stew?
　One of Johanna's companions speaks out, wondering if Ray had noticed such a question.

"Well, I've been eating this restaurant many times, but this stew seems different from usual..."
"That's natural, isn't it? I'm going to pay a lot of money and reserve it. I use materials that I don't usually use."

　The shopkeeper's words make everyone look satisfied.
　It's a double expression of satisfaction.
　"Since we reserve a restaurant, we are convinced that it is not strange to cook something that we cannot normally do, and that we can eat something more delicious than usual."
　...but the latter is only Johanna's conviction.

"Oh, it's a party, isn't it? Cheers! Cheers!"As the shopkeeper says so, he yells at an unfinished glass.
　The owner almost poured ale into Ray's glass, but before that Ray opened his mouth.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not good at drinking. Tea or something... If you don't mind water, don't you?"
"Huh? I can't drink? I can't put it on the adventurer's leeway." Wait a minute, I'll get you a drink right away."

　You should be called the owner of a thriving shop, even though you speak harshly in your tone.

(Is this also called tundere?)

　Ray wonders as he sees the owner back in the kitchen.
　In the meantime, the scent from the pot on the table never stopped, stimulating the appetite of those around me.
　Eventually, the owner comes back from the kitchen and hands Ray a container containing something to drink.

"What about this?"

　Ray looked at the transparent container and thought for a moment that it was glass, but when he actually touched it, he realized that it was some kind of metal, not glass.

"I don't know. It's made by an alchemist out of dungeon. Anyway, it contains fruit water, so it's just right for a child like you."

　Ray felt that the expression of being a child was a little boring, but when he thought about his appearance, it was no wonder that he could not drink alcohol, and he shut up.
　Also, it is important to understand that the owner of this restaurant was bad at speaking.

(however, at this time of winter, fruit water...if it is preserved in a mistling, how?)

　Needless to say, fruit water cannot be produced without fresh fruit.
　That was Ray's common sense.





　but now that the fruit-water is here, the shopkeeper has obtained fresh fruit from somewhere in winter."

"Ah,"

　I think of dungeon right away.
　This time, Grimm's magic easily moved us to the bottom, but when we got off with Elena, we were attacked by a flock of water monkeys.
　In that forest it would not be impossible to harvest fruit even in winter.
　While Ray was satisfied, drinks went around to each of them...For some reason Ray ends up to propose a toast.
　Ray speaks after he sees the shopkeeper cleverly retreating into the kitchen.

"Congratulations on the dungeon, on the successful settlement of Vihela and Rodos... Cheers!"
"Cheers!"

　Everyone's cups are held up and their words are aligned.
　Sadly Seto and Yero didn't have a cup, but they probably understood they were still celebrating. He cries joyfully, and so does the yellow on the table.

"Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

　Johanna's fellow man gulps up the ale in the glass and then screams happily.
　Maybe the others agree with it, put a glass of ale on the table, nod and open their mouths.

"Vihela's consciousness has come back to normal, isn't it?"
"Yes, sir, but I never imagined that Mr. Vihela would faint."
"Seto, do you want this? It's good, right?"
"Oh, let's eat stew, stew.

　Each person reaches out to cook while having such a conversation.
　...but of course, everyone's attention was focused on the pot in the middle of the table... ...an oak stew on the restaurant's iconic menu.
　Of course, this restaurant also serves a variety of oak dishes.
　Like stewing vegetables and stewing ingredients, or pure meat only.
　Still, the most popular dish was the stew on the table now.
　Moreover, this stew is not an ordinary one. They are made of materials that are not normally available.
　I couldn't help but feel unconscious about the stew.
　Marina immediately assorted the stew for everyone.
　The stew, also divided into Seto and Yero, releases what should be called an even more fragrant violence as it moves from pot to plate.
　The first thing Ray scooped up with a spoon was naturally boiled oak.
　You'll be able to eat well for themselves. toss the meat into one's mouth after being cut into large pieces
　At an instant, the meat asserts itself in Ray's mouth.
　Usually stewed meat has a texture that melts in the mouth, but this meat is different.
　The meat still has a strong bite, but the strong flavor of the meat spreads through the mouth.
　Even though it's stewed, when you chew the meat, it's full of gravy.
　Did you cook only meat and put it in later?
　That's what Ray thought, but he immediately denies it inside.
　The meat has a firm taste of stew. You can't do this without boiling it for a long time.

"...it's delicious..."

　All Ray could do was mutter it in response to a genuine impulse.
