"Well, Hasta," This meat has some unusual spices, hasn't it?"
"Oh, yes. That's right. I understand very well.
"No, it's a bit spicy, so if you think about it normally, everyone will understand."
"...no, there are quite a few people who know that spices are used, but they don't know what they are."

　Come to think of it, Ray agrees.
　If Ray were Sansho... or, unlike Sansho, a similar kind of spice, it was only because he knew the taste of Sansho.
　Its distinctive pungency is different from those of pepper and wasabi, but many people who have never eaten sansho may not understand it.

"This spice is quite useful, because it can be preserved. It's easy to collect."
"Do you mean that Husta has taken this?"
"Yes, it's much easier than beating a monster."

　That would convince Ray.
　Ray had been running around in the mountains since he was a child when he was in Japan.
　As a matter of course, I found Japanese pepper, and I also picked a variety of other wild vegetables.
　For that reason, I can nod honestly to what Hasta wants to say.

"And yet... it's amazing." It's not cold at all."

　Husta mutters, looking around.
　There are tables and chairs lined up on the back street, no comparison to Marina's garden.
　The scene is quite noticeable, but the sight of Seto still satisfies passersby.
　It can't be helped if it's set.

"Yes, Husta. I'll let you eat delicious food again today."
"Come on, Mr. Sanchez," Please take your time."
"Well... and yet it's not cold here in winter."

　In a cold-free situation, the man called Sanchez walks into the shop wondering but without worrying about anything more.
　Seeing Sanchez enter the restaurant, Hasta asks Ray, who is tasting the food on the table.

"How warm is it?"
"It's not me,"

　He is known to be good at the magic of fire, so maybe he thinks he's doing it.
　When Ray thinks so, Hasta looks envious of Marina.
　Of course, Marina noticed the glances that included a slight attachment, but Marina, who often gets such glances, ignored them and opened her mouth.

`Anyone can do it to some extent if they can use spirit magic,'
"No, very few people can use that magic,"

　In the first place, there are few people who can use magic, and among them, if it becomes spirit magic, there are even fewer.
　Moreover, it's an imitation of raising the ambient temperature, which is said to be possible for anyone, but requires more than a certain level of skill.
　Moreover, if we were to adjust the snow on the ground so that it wouldn't melt, even if we could use spirit magic, it wouldn't be possible to do it overnight.

"That may be the case," ...and the snow salamander meat is delicious, but this skewer is also delicious, isn'

　Ignoring Ray's words, Marina looks at the skewers on the plate.
　a common dish in guillem called oak skewer
　However, depending on the preparation of the meat, the careful seasoning, and the skill of the grilling, it was one step... no, it was two steps different from the one sold in the restaurant.

"Hey, Hasta! The next dish is ready! Take it!"

　As Marina complimented the skewer, Hasta smiled happily... as if she had timed it, the voice of a disshot echoes from inside the shop.
　You don't have to think about how loud it is, as the voices of Dischott in the kitchen echo outside.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Then I'll bring you some food."

　As she hurriedly sees Hasta back into the shop, Vihela laughs amusingly as she carries the soup into her mouth.

"Oh, Marina, it's a very bad woman to make fun of young people who have a future,"
"I don't mean to make fun of you, do I? And `if you say so, I don't think you can even say Vihela?'

　Many customers come to Manjotei and many pass in front of shops.
　Their gaze is directed at the most prominent set, followed by two attractive beautiful women, Viehra and Marina.

"You can't tell me that you don't understand that, can you?"
"Well, I don't know," . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . except for Ray's eyes."

　A woman's glamorous eyes that a normal man would turn red just by themselves.
　But Ray, who was turned at it, didn't seem to notice Marina's gaze and was tasting snow salamander skewers with Seto.

"This meat is delicious."
"Grull".

　At Ray's words, Seto sings happily while eating meat off skewers.
　The meat of the rank B monster Snow Salamander is of course superb.
　Of course, the taste is incomparably poor compared to the meat of a silver lion, but the comparison was poor.
　Skewers that utilize the color of pure white meat spread the taste of meat in the mouth along with spicy spices like sansho (Japanese pepper), and the fiber melts.
　Perhaps because of the pungency of sansho, it tasted very refreshing despite its pure flavor of meat.
　However, the meat has a rich flavor, so it looks good and has a very strong impact.

"...huh,"

　Marina, who easily ignored her appeal, breathes regretfully.
　Vichela looks at Marina with a smile and wipes around Bune's dirty mouth.
　Enjoy the launch with smiles on each other while communicating with each other's usual.
　Then Hasta, who just returned to the shop, comes back with a bowl of food.
　Ray, who has been eating skewers and boiled dishes with Seto, notices the slightly sweet smell coming out of the bowl.
　It was the smell Ray had sniffed several times.
　In addition, Huster's vessels are familiar to Ray.

"The steamer... Is that the way it is?"
"Oh, yes. Will Mr. Ray understand after all right." This is the meat bun we serve now."
"Yes!"

　Bune exclaimed happily when he heard the meat bun.
　Meat buns sold at the Golden Pantei are still popular, if not as popular as they used to be.
　The queues are getting shorter, but you can't buy them without lining up.
　So somehow Bune had never eaten a meat bun except Ray.
　That's why Bune was so pleased that the meat bun was actually served.

(To tell you the truth, he must have wanted to eat the Golden Pantei meat bun, which he first put up for sale... well, we can eat it soon.)

　Vichela, watching Bune rejoicing, looks at the steamer placed on the table with a smile.
　When Huster opens the steamer's lid with everyone's eyes on him, the white steam blocks the vision of the viewer for a moment.
　The temperature is kept at about spring by the magic of spirits, but the reason that steam still came out is probably because it's magic.
　The sweet smell is the smell of meat bun dough.

"This is the meat bun," --a very interesting shape?"The meat buns that appear are familiar to Ray.
　But for Vihela, who was used to regular bread, it probably looked unusual. He looked amused at the meat bun in the steamer.

"Yes!"

　The first thing to reach out was, of course, Bune.
　Since I've always wanted to eat meat buns, I guess I couldn't stop reaching for them if they actually put them in front of me.

"Oh, because it's hot... I don't think it's a problem."

　Freshly steamed meat buns are naturally hot.
　Husta tries to be careful about it, but Bune picks up the meat bun and bites it.

"Well, it's Bune said. Shall we eat instead? I was wondering what the rumored meat bun was like."

　Smiling at Bune's appearance, Marina reaches for the meat bun.
　Marina and Ray also reach out to the meat buns, and Ray places the portion of Seto on the plate.
　Instead of eating it as it is, Ray's first move was to split the meat bun in half.
　The steam rises just as it did in the steamer.
　The smell of ingredients also wafted around and stimulated the appetite.

"Well..."

　Ray exclaimed in admiration, perhaps because the smell of cracking meat buns is no match for the meat buns served in the Golden Pantei.
　Of course, the flavor of the sweet bean paste inside is different, so the smell that comes out is different.
　But it was never wrong in terms of bringing out the uniqueness of the store.

"Yes!"

　Bune who ate the meat bun exclaims.
　His face remained unchanged, but his cheeks turned red... either because the meat bun was unexpectedly delicious, or because he bites at the freshly steamed meat bun without hesitation, resulting in burns in his mouth. Or both.
　Watching Bune like that, Ray gently carries the bun to his mouth.
　Instead of burning your mouth like Bune, you can taste the meat bun.
　The meat is cut slightly larger, giving you a good taste of the texture of the meat.
　Other ingredients include mushrooms and many other vegetables.
　What surprised Ray was that it contained vegetables with a texture close to bamboo shoots.
　Of course, I don't know if it's really bamboo shoots or not, and I don't think I can pick bamboo shoots at this time of year.
　With that in mind, Ray was happy to see that some vegetables, perhaps not bamboo shoots, still had a similar texture.

(If you have bamboo shoots, you can make menma... oh, don't you have ramen?) If that's the case, the ingredients for udon? Well, I don't know how to make menma in the first place.)

　Menma is my favorite ingredient in ramen, and I want to make menma if possible.
　Of course, however, I didn't know how to make menma.
　In the mountains where Ray lived in Japan, a variety of wild vegetables can be harvested in spring.
　Of course there are bamboo shoots, but the bamboo shoots are so-called nemagaridake or hime-take, not bamboo shoots used to make common menma.
　Also, of course, I don't know how to make menma.
　I know of the menma-style dishes that my mother had fried in la oil and sesame oil."

(Oh, but can I start from there? If it's sesame oil, I know how to make it... the question is, is it chili oil.) Put some pepper powder in the heated oil... was that so?)

　When I try to remember La oil, which I used to make from cooking cartoons I saw when I was in Japan, I can't remember it completely.
　In the first place, we don't even know if there are chili peppers.

(Let's take a look at the market tomorrow.)

　While eating meat buns, Ray decides so.
　If you think you might come up with something else to cook, you'll be delighted with it'
　However, even though the vegetables in this world are similar to those that Ray knows, they have completely different taste and texture, so I can't accept them honestly.
　What's more, it's winter now and there aren't many vegetables available, and most of them are expensive.
　...that's no use for Ray, who has a lot of money.

"What do you think of the meat bun?"

　When he saw Ray in silence, he must have thought there was something strange about the meat bun. Husta asks me a little anxiously.
　When Ray realizes this, he relishes the meat bun and then opens his mouth.

"Yes, it's different from the meat buns made at the Golden Pantheon, but I think this is all right."
"It's not that it tastes bad as a meat bun, is it?"
"That's no problem,"
"... well, that's good." To be honest, it's selling well, but the sales are really small compared to the golden pantei. Of course there is a difference in location between the main street and the back street."

　Ray's words give Hasta a sigh of relief.
　While trusting his father's cooking skills, he must have been worried about many things.
　Relieved, Hasta returns to the restaurant for another meal.
　The Rays saw him off... and enjoyed the launch to their heart's content.
