1695 Episode 1695



It was just after 3 p.m. that Ray and Kenny returned to Gilm after the demise of monsters caught in the sea, including Baeros.
 Starting with Baeros, knocking down the approaching goblins attracted by the smell of monsters being dismantled, several times.
 There are various monsters in the forest, all of which have attacked the Reyes this time.
 When Ray saw it, he said it was because his daily behavior was good, but... Kenny couldn't nod honestly and looked at it dumbfounded.
 No matter how much Kenny likes Ray, he couldn't understand his usual behavior.
 Ray didn't seem to be quite satisfied with that kind of stare.
 Ray doesn't act like he's going to pick fights with the good public.
 At least that's what Ray thinks.
 ...and Kenny would have wondered if he'd ever heard of Ray's own quarrel for no reason, but that wouldn't say what he's done is good.
 Even Kenny could not say that Ray, who was willing to mutilate a noble limb, was good in his day-to-
 Anyway, we had some simple dishes like sandwiches and skewers from Ray's mistrusting for lunch, but Kenny wouldn't be so full for Ray anyway.

"And what are you going to do?"
"Well, I'm thinking of going to the full house, including Baeros, and having him cook something for me."
"Well, may I go, too.
"Oh, that's what you did. You helped me dismantle the monster, so I don't thank you know.
"That's all right. ... Or can I go to Manjotei? Isn't it a break after lunch?"

 Kenny probably said so thoughtfully because he knew how prosperous Manjotei was every day.
 Delicious, cheap and large in portion.
 There's no way that such a restaurant won't flourish, and it's packed almost every day, with tables and chairs outside the cafeteria.
 You don't have to wonder how prosperous it is.

(Not in coffee shops, but in restaurants like this, do you call it an open terrace?)

 For Ray, open terraces have an image that fashionable shops are the only ones to do.
 In fact, it's not that unusual, but when I was in Japan, there were no open terrace shops around where Ray lived, and you can only see that on TV.
 Then, naturally, it would be a fashionable place to feature an open terrace, and Ray might have such an image when he saw it.
 Anyway, when Kenny says, "Can I interrupt you when you have few guests and it's a precious break?" Ray thinks a little and nods.

"The discots that manage Manjotei are quite strong in terms of their appetite for food. If they see monsters like Baeros' ingredients, they will definitely inspire creativity."

 It was certain in Ray.
 In terms of chefs, there will be a lot of people in Gillum in the same position as Dischott.
 But as far as Ray knows, not many people are as serious about cooking as Dischott.
 That's the kind of fish monster you can't get in guillem, and you'll definitely be happy to bite at it.

(It might be interesting to see not only the flight, but also the fish in a more ordinary way.)

 Apart from monsters such as Baeros, all the seafood Ray has acquired in this vacation is in the unit of tons.
 In addition to what Ray had caught, what he had bought in Galanca was enough.
 If you don't eat seafood every day, you won't have to worry about seafood for a long time.
 However, given the fact that they eat Ray, Sett, and Bune, there is a possibility that they will consume everything in less than a year...or in a few months.

"Really? All right. Then I'll go to the full house when I return the carriage."

 Smiling, Kenny says so.
 Ray nods, gets out of the carriage... and they act separately.
 Kenny would have liked to eat alone with Ray in a more atmospheric restaurant rather than in a place like Manjotei...but he wouldn't complain if he could eat with Ray.
 In the first place, the purpose of this meal was to eat the seafood that Ray had caught.
 That being the case, we still need a place where we can bring in the ingredients and cook...that's not what Kenny wants.
 Some stores may be open, but at least Kenny didn't know such a place.

"Oh, Kenny helped me a lot today. I'll treat you."
"I'm looking forward to it,"

 Saying so, Kenny heads to the guild with a carriage.
 Ray said it was no compliment that Kenny had helped him.
 In fact, if Kenny hadn't helped dismantle the monster, it's highly likely that it would have become useless as a foodstuff.
 Or did you still stick the edible part to the bone?
 Kenny, who cooks in his own way, helped minimize waste of ingredients.
 In that sense, Ray had no option but to thank Kenny.
 After seeing off Kenny's carriage, he began to walk down the road to the full house. . . .

"Look carefully at this overnight drying! It's handmade by Atashi!? But what do you mean by this price?"
"Nobody would buy it if they knew it was your hand made! Hey, man! Don't come close to me with bare muscles!"

 ...and suddenly I hear familiar voices and shrieks, but Ray turns to the voice, and when he finds out that the person is the one he expected, he leaves without further assistance.
 It was an act of determining that Bistol would not interfere with the negotiations.
 To the person who was negotiating with Bistol, Ray would have thought he was the god of salvation... unfortunately, that's not the case.

(Well, hang in there.)

 Ray knows how hard Bistol worked and made dried fish almost every night.
 That's why, praying that his efforts would be rewarded... he went straight to the full house.





"There aren't many people at this time of day."

 Ray, who came within sight of the full house, looked around, but there were not many people there.
 But it's still a lot more than it was before... before the extension started.
 Still, compared to the daytime and evening hours, there are not many people around.
 A little late lunch...or an early dinner...or rather a little bit of a snack, although there were quite a few who were looking for a full house or a nearby dining room or stall.
 And when I entered the full house...

"Oh, welcome Ray,"

 Saying so, Dischott's wife, Enedra stands up happily to see Ray.
 For Enedra, Ray is her benefactor who saved the shop.
 Of course, when Ray got involved in the Manjotei, it wasn't that the store was in danger of closing down.
 Still, it's true that in terms of store profits, they were clearly lower than they are now.
 But sales of udon noodles that Ray told us about increased rapidly.
 ...but it was unexpected that there were so many customers that my family couldn't go around alone.
 On top of that, many people have come to Gillum to work due to the construction of the Gillum, and they are generating unprecedented sales every day.
 That's enough to make me think I'm too busy to keep up my strength.
 Despite the situation, Enedra welcomed Ray without showing any signs of exhaustion.
 There are still some customers in the dining room, but they also look to Ray to see what happened to Enedra's words.

"It's been a long time. I came here because I got some rare ingredients, so I wanted to show them to you..."
"Show me,"

 Before Ray finishes, a disshot from the kitchen tells him so.
 Though still blunt, Ray doesn't seem to care about this disheveled attitude and takes fish and shellfish such as fish, shellfish, seaweed, octopus... out of the mystery ring.
 When he sees it, he gradually reveals his surly expression with surprise... ...the last time he cuts out a slice of Baerus, the surprise becomes apparent to everyone.

"This meat... No, it's a fish. When it comes to this size... a monster?"
"Oh, it's a fish monster called Baeros. It looks like a very rare monster, and I only found it in the library. It seems to be quite delicious.""... even if you touch it?"
"Good. I hope you'll cook me something with this. I've broken it up so far, so I won't have lunch."

 They eat sandwiches and skewers, but that's just the perception that Ray is eating, not eating.

"All right. I've got a dish I'd like to try. Wait a minute."
"One more will come later, so please do that for me."

 As Ray says, Dischott nods and returns to the kitchen with the ingredients in his hand.

"Huh, it's been a long time since I saw him so happy."

 At Enedra's words, customers, including Ray, who was watching the conversation in the store, would inwardly say, "Look happy!?"
 I'm not saying it directly, but I'm sure Ray and his guests would have been united.
 Although Ray and his wife Enedra probably understood it, they didn't.
 When Ray is half forced to convince himself, the shop door opens and a customer comes in.

"Oh, Ray, wait."
"No, I'm not waiting that long. Dischott is cooking, so wait a little longer."

 Ray and his guests... Knowing who his companion is from Kenny's conversation, Enedra puts Kenny's water on the table with him.
 The few customers in the store looked at Kenny with jealousy.
 Ray is accustomed to seeing Elena and other beautiful women of the rare level in history, but Kenny certainly had enough features to describe her as beautiful, so he doesn't seem to be particularly concerned about her being looked at like that way.

"And what kind of food can you eat?"
"Well, I'm completely in charge of that, so I don't know until it comes out. ... It came out while I was saying that."

 As Ray said, Dischott approaches Ray's table with a plate in his hand.
 Normally, it's Enedra's job to carry the food... but this time it's a prototype, so you want to hear how Ray feels.

"Eat! I haven't decided the name of the dish yet, but it shouldn't taste bad."

 Contrary to what he said was not bad, Dischott's expression showed confidence in his cooking.
 As if encouraged by such a disshot, Ray looked at the plate...

"Yes,"

 I admire the food on the plate.
 Classically, it probably comes down to soup.
 What you can see is a thin slice of fish wrapped in udon.
 Judging from the fact that the udon noodles were cut into bite-size pieces, it was easy to predict that they would have been rolled up like seaweed rolls and then cut.
 When you put the ingredients in your mouth, the flavor of the fish and the texture of the udon noodles... and the seaweeds blend into your mouth.

(Seaweed?)

 To question the texture of the mouth, take apart the other ingredients in the plate with a spoon.
 Then, the ingredients of udon, which should be called fish rolls, collapsed, and some seaweeds were cut into several lines.
 Knowing that he was wrapping udon in seaweed instead of wrapping it in fish fillets, Ray was impressed with the soup...no, enjoying udon.
