After finishing dismantling the snow salamander, the Rays head straight to Manjotei.
　This battle in the forest has not yielded enough results.
　However, it is true that it was definitely beneficial in terms of confirming the cooperation between the two, and it was not a failure if you think so.
　Of course, there is only one Rank B monster, Snow Salamander, and the rest is only a goblin.
　In the food sense of Seto, it wasn't that satisfactory.
　At any rate, in the end, Ray and his colleagues managed to use the meat to launch a party at Manjotei.

"Grull".

　It's only natural for me to snarl happily.
　Bune straddled its back, surprised or curious to those around it who saw them.
　But among the laymen, Hasta's gaze at Seto was filled with apology.
　It's only natural that ... It's winter now.
　I have to leave the door open to eat with Seto, but I can't do that considering the outside temperature.
　In other words, Seto was delighted to join the launch with Ray, but he could not do so.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

　Sad, sad, apologetic... Ray asks if he's bothered by the look on his face.

"No, I'm glad to have you come to Manjotei, but I don't think Seto will come into the shop..."
"Oh, that's it," There's nothing to worry about."
"What?"

　Ray simply tells Hasta, who seems to be struggling to say, that he is determined... not so much.

"We'll eat out if you lend us the table and chairs."
"What? Huh? ... It's cold, isn't it?"

　If you're just eating lightly, you'll spend an hour or more on the go.
　When Hasta asked if that was all right for her health, Ray smiled.
　Originally thanks to dragon robes, Ray doesn't particularly care about the cold in the middle of the night.
　As long as we eat, snow can cause a lot of trouble, but fortunately it's not snowing now.
　In addition, there was no problem with other faces, as it has been found that marina is capable of controlling the ambient temperature to a certain extent.

"Well, don't worry, we'll do something about it. I just wish you would bring the food I ordered out of the shop."
"No, that's all right, but..."

　Is that really all right?
　Hasta's gaze is directed at Marina and Vihela.
　The reason he couldn't look at Bune was simply because he remained on Sett's back.

"Yes, there's no problem," Marina can do most of the things."
"...that's a little too much, I think,"

　It was a condescending marina, but it is true that it has become much easier since I started working with her.
　Above all, the fact that we have stopped walking on snowy roads is great, and we can have our temperature adjusted.
　With that in mind, we can say that the constraints on our behavior have definitely.
　Hasta envies Marina and Vihela for such interactions.
　There was, of course, the envy of Ray, who could work with such a beautiful woman, but rather the envy of having a fixed party.
　I'm Hasta, who became an adventurer to stock up on the meat I use at home in the Manjotei. Naturally, it's difficult to form a fixed party.
　A special party called a stray party is often organized, but even if it's the same party, it's very different between stray and fixed.
　Even if you don't know... or if you don't get to that point, a stray party is much stronger than fighting alone in terms of military strength, but it's not uncommon for a lack of cooperation to occur because they are strangers.
　Moreover, some of them intentionally try to harm the opponent who has formed a stray party, so even those who form a party can't concentrate only on the enemy.
　Of course, there are only a few such people, but there is no guarantee that they are not part of it.
　However, it's not unusual for some friends to get along with each other at a stray party and just stay at a fixed party.
　In any case, in the case of Hasta, it is difficult to organize a fixed party in terms of compensation because meat must be prepared at the full house regularly.
　At the same time, I can't get a request from Gilm... exactly because I can't get away from the full house.
　Hasta herself is loved by many adventurers, partly because of her politeness.
　However, that was a bottleneck and we couldn't form a fixed party.
　...the father's Dischott was worried about his son, but Hasta himself was so happy to serve his family that he couldn't help it.
　Hasta knows that, but that doesn't mean she doesn't yearn for a fixed party.

"Oh, come to think of it, I heard that the meat bun that is popular these days is also a dish that Ray thought of. Is that true?"

　Hasta changes the subject, perhaps because she thought talking about the party would make her feel depressed.
　Dischott's shop also serves meat buns, and I heard that it was Ray who thought of the meat buns, and I asked him if it was true."

"Well, I don't know," What I taught you is how to make it roughly. I didn't actually establish it as a meat bun, so it might not be what I thought."
"Really? My father seems to be trying a lot of things, but he can't be satisfied. If you don't mind, it would be helpful if you could taste it. Of course, meat buns are a taste, so you don't need to pay for them. What do you think?"

　Hasta, who comes in a little bit more forcefully, probably because he's not very satisfied with the meat buns that Dischott makes.
　Given that everyone who wants to know how to make a meat bun is informed, what is needed from there is an ingenuity unique to the restaurant.
　I guess it's Hasta's honest desire to get advice from that area.

"You may say so," -- well, if you're going to give it to me for free, I'll feed you."
"I see! I'll tell my father about it, then. We must have chairs and tables ready."

　Saying so, Hasta runs toward the Manjotei, which she sees.

"How are you?"

　Marina muttered in an involuntary tone.
　In Marina's eyes, Hasta probably looked positive.
　Working hard for your family seems to be possible, but it's not that easy.
　The struggle will be greater, especially when it comes to wild parties and solo activities.
　For that reason, it looked good to see Hasta working so hard.

"Well, I'm sure he's a good son in many ways. -- now we're here we are."

　Returning to Marina, Ray opens the door of the full house.
　What I heard from inside the shop was just a noise worthy of being called a hustle and bustle.
　The Manjotei, which is perfect for good, good and cheap, was a great restaurant for adventurers.
　Even though you're saving money for the winter, it's definitely better to save money if you can.
　This is, however, a restaurant, not a bar.
　They served a little sake, but they still didn't have parties like bars.
　Ray and his colleagues enter such a full house.
　Seto is quietly waiting outside the store, probably because he knows the Rays will launch outside.
　As they enter the store, they are naturally turned to the customers in front of them.
　However, as soon as they find out that they are famous for their guillem, such as Ray, Vihela and Marina, they quickly turn away and return to their meals.

(If it were a bar or guild, it would be a bit of a mess, but... it would be a little strange to have it done in the dining-room like this.)

　Ray thinks about it as he sees adventurers back to dinner.

"Mr. Ray, you can take this table and chair!"

　Husta waved her hand and called out, wondering if she noticed the Ray's coming into the store.Fortunately, Ray nods and heads to the table when he is told that there is still an empty table.
　Then, listening to Hasta's words, "Do you want to take the table?" and ignoring the eyes of the people around him who were leaning, he kept the table and chairs in the mistling one after another.
　There was no problem carrying tables or chairs outside the shop with them, but I thought it would be better to make such a dusty appearance when many people were eating.
　It's well known that Ray has an item box, but not many people have seen it used directly in front of them.
　That's why the adventurers, who seem to have been eating near Ray's table, are wide-eyed by Ray's sudden behavior... but they don't interrupt him any more.

"Oh, then, bring me some dishes for the launch, if you like. Oh, and... I hope you'll make something out of this."

　White meat that comes out like a table or chair... hand over snow salamander meat to Hasta and Ray leaves the shop with Marina and Vihela.

"Well, did you need us to come into the shop?"
"Well? But it doesn't matter,"

　Vihela and Marina exchange words and head out of the shop.
　Then Ray pulls out the table and chair on the snow, and marina's spirit spells the surrounding environment.
　It's going to be launched in no time.When the banquet is ready, Husta brings plates of food as if she had been waiting for it.
　Meat is the main attraction, after all, because there was so much meat in the hangar.
　But there are other vegetables besides meat.
　Vegetables at this time of year are naturally expensive, but merchants who are indebted to Manjotei sell them at prices close to the cost.
　Even so, it costs a certain amount of money, but vegetables that can be preserved for about a winter, such as potatoes, are used, so many vegetables are not used.
　It was also a dish because they had money to spare.

"The drink is..."
"Wine will do for me,"
"Then I'm the same as Marina,"

　Marina and Vihela answer, and Hasta's gaze turns to Ray.
　Hasta had heard before that Ray didn't like alcohol.
　Also, Bune is too young to drink alcohol.
　...in Elgin, the age at which he can drink alcohol is not clearly fixed, but Bune was still too small.
　That's why I asked...

"Do you have fruit water?"
"No, at this time of year..."

　If it were spring, summer, or autumn, we might have prepared some kind of fruit water.
　But now it's winter.
　It might be a different story if it was a fancy restaurant, but at the Manjotei we could not prepare fruit water.

"Well, then I have my own, so I want to drink it... OK? If it doesn't work, water is fine."
"No, if you have your own, that's fine. ...I'm not very happy about the store, but I'm a little sad about the water at the launch. I have tea, just in case."

　With the words, Ray and Bune decide to drink the fruit water in the mistling.
　Then Hasta brings two glasses of wine and two empty glasses, and Ray pours fruit water into them.
　When ready, the party leader, Ray, is understandably toast.

"This request for subjugation... No, it's a request. Celebrate the successful completion of the expedition to make sure of the alliance... Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"Yes,"

　Each of them utters a voice and holds up a cup.
　And the first thing they touched was... skewers made of pure white but slightly scorched meat, as expected.
　The color of the meat made it obvious what it was.
　As soon as you put it in your mouth, the fibers of the meat loosen.
　It's probably because the meat doesn't change its color. It's seasoned with salt and something slightly pungent, not with sauce.

(Sansho?)

　a spice that comes with eels eaten while in Japan
　Ray's tongue, of course, did not tell if it was really Japanese pepper, but he still felt the resemblance... to Hasta.
