"Glu? Glu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu!"

　Walking down the main street of Gilmoo, Seto's throat rings at the scent of the air.
　The appetizing scent attracts Ray's attention and heads to the stall where the scent originated.
　The smell of the sauce burning was so strong that the people around us naturally gathered in the smelly stalls.

"Come on, grilled udon with Gamerion meat! You can only eat it now for a limited time!"

　The owner of the stall is swarming with sweat, even though it's almost winter.
　Even so, the man's arms were still frying udon, meat and vegetables on the iron plate.
　Gilm has become quite famous as the birthplace of udon.
　Other dishes included meat buns and pizzas, which were also made and sold with Gamerion meat.

"Is it fried udon? ... It's not a major dish."

　In fact, most udon sold in guillem are eaten in soup.
　Of course, not being a major player does not mean that there is no other dish called yakidon at all.
　Although the number is small, yakidon has long been well known.

"Two pieces of silver, including the price of plates and forks! Instead, if you return the dishes after you finish, you'll get back the price!"
"No, isn't it a little expensive? Can't you make it a little cheaper?"

　A passer-by man who asked the price... probably coming back from the extension work, complains about the price of two pieces of silver.
　In fact, Ray's experience in this world suggests that a piece of silver is worth about 1,000 yen.
　Of course, since this is a different world called Elgin, it is not easy to compare prices to Japan, and Ray is from the countryside of course.
　Prices differ widely between places like Tokyo where prices are said to be high and Ray's local area.
　If you think about it that way, it's just sensual... but it was only natural to think that 2,000 yen for a bowl of yaki-udon at a stall was expensive.
　However, this is a remote Gilm.
　Those who come for the extension work hesitate to give out two pieces of silver.

"Oh, then give me one,"

　A woman in her mid-20s orders a stall owner beside a middle-aged man who lamented that he was expensive.
　The woman's body is wrapped in a combination of leather armour and metal armor, and has a sheath with a long sword at her waist, which makes her look like an adventurer.
　And in Ray's eyes, he has his own arms.
　Ray predicted that he would be at least a few steps above the Marquis and slightly inferior to Fluorocarbons.
　The man who was complaining to the owner of the stall stared dumbfounded at the adventurer of the woman who had just handed him two silver coins.
　They probably didn't expect a stall to offer two pieces of silver so easily, let alone a fancy dining room.
　If this is a rural village, the man's surprise is natural.
　But this is Gilmoo.
　A brilliant adventurer can make any amount of money.

"Hey, wait a minute."

　When they say that, the shopkeeper puts yakidon on the plate.
　It's full of meat and vegetables, and the noodles in the stir-fry udon noodles are also adjusted to be appropriate for the proper stir-fry.
　And above all, the sauce used to season this yaki-udon is the one that determinesp.
　This is an ingredient that has melted after a long boil of meat and vegetables and herbs.
　A seasoning that can be called Kimo of Yakidon, where you can enjoy a deep flavor and a light taste.
　In fact, the effect was obvious because the smell of this sauce burning had brought Ray, Seto, and many others to the stalls.
　And when the first person buys it, the other customers buy it one afterwards.
　Naturally, Ray also bought himself and Seto's share and began eating a little away from the street stall crowd.
　Many people eat near stalls so they can return some dishes and forks as soon as they finish eating.
　Of course, if Ray and Seto were eating in such a place, other customers would notice...

"Seto is eating fried udon, too!"
"What? Seto? Oh, you're really there."
"Oh, didn't you notice Seto's presence? Apparently, that's how much your love for Seto is."
"Gut!"
`When did you notice that!'
"Me? I knew it from the beginning."
"You're lying! You just noticed him because he came after you!"

　In some cases, Seto enthusiasts had such conversations, but Ray and Seto eat yakidon without any particular concern.

(I think yakidon tastes good with soy sauce...however, this yakidon doesn't taste like sauce or soy sauce, it tastes like a third taste.)

　The yakidon, worth two silvers, was actually enough to please Ray's tongue.
　Gamerion meat is especially delicious.
　That's where they sell, and it's cooked to highlight the deliciousness of Gamerion's meat.
　For Ray... and for Seto, the fried udon tasted good enough.
　The only complaint is that it's impossible to have a second helping because the stalls have so many customers.

"Do you mind if I put away the dishes for Ray and Seto?"

　After finishing eating yakidon, Ray and Sett, who looked a little unsatisfied, say something like that.
　If you look at her voice, she's in her mid-20s.
　Come to think of it, Ray recalls that there was a woman working near the shopkeeper.
　Naturally, it was difficult to handle all this busy time alone, and it was only natural that there were other employees.

"Huh? Oh, okay. The fried udon was delicious. It was a dish made from Gamerion meat."

　The woman was momentarily surprised at what Ray said, and the next moment she smiled happily.

"I see. I think he'll be happy to hear that."
"Well, if you think about this prosperity, you'll understand that I don't have to say anything about it."
"No, no. It's because Ray told me it was delicious."
"...to me?"

　Not understanding what the woman is saying, Ray nods his head.
　Ray doesn't think his sense of taste is so sharp.
　Of course, unlike when I was in Japan, I have become my present body, and my five senses are sharpened.
　However, even though they are sharp in terms of taste among the five senses, they are not used to it.
　Since Ray was originally a high school student in the countryside, it's only natural that the food he eats is not so luxurious.
　"However, in contrast to the city where there are many sophisticated dishes, it was a very luxurious position in terms of being able to fully enjoy fresh seasonal ingredients."
　Also, even after coming to the world of Elgin, they usually eat at places like restaurants and stalls.
　...well, I often stayed in a high-class inn, and the food served in such a restaurant was often as good as a high-class restaurant.
　Anyway, I wonder why my compliments, which should never be called gourmet, are so pleasing.
　Of course, as a cook, I didn't understand how happy the guests were to enjoy their food.

"Ah... well, you know. For the people who run the stalls, they're good customers... no, they're the savior. And, you know, it's Ray who spread udon."

　The woman's words somehow made Ray understand. 　
　In fact, Ray is a great shopper for street stalls, restaurants, bars, bakeries, and food stores in Gilm.No, as the woman says, it's more than a good customer.
　Normally, you buy a large amount, but that's the amount that one family member or friends gather to eat.
　But it's not uncommon for Ray to buy all the food in the shop.
　...however, the fact that you buy so much food puts a lot of strain on the cook.
　It's because Ray can always eat fresh food because of his mystery...and because he's an adventurer, he doesn't have trouble paying for it.
　Other dishes that Ray spread out in guillem, including udon, are all delicious and have become a specialty.
　It was only natural for restaurants to think that Ray was the savior.
　And what this stall sells is grilled udon.
　It wasn't so popular in general, but it was only natural for people working in restaurants to say that it was Ray who spread udon.
　In other words, it was a very happy event for a woman to have Ray eat yakudon and compliment her.
　But Ray scratches his head a little troubled by such a woman's words of thanks.

"I was the one who taught Dischott udon noodles, but what I taught him was that there was a dish like this, and I just taught him how to cook it roughly, and it was his credit to spread it this far."

　That's what Ray said, but Dischott always says that this is a dish that Ray taught us when we spread about udon.
　As a result, it was only natural that Ray was often recognized as the one who spread udon.

"Even so, because we had udon noodles, it's thriving like this. ... But the profits aren't that big."

　Two pieces of silver were obviously expensive to eat at a stall, but Gamerion's meat... obviously needed a reasonable amount of money to buy the best meat, and the other ingredients were chosen as cheap and delicious as possible, but they naturally needed a reasonable amount of money.
　To be honest with you, it was the honest feelings of the woman and the shopkeeper who cooked at the stall that they wanted to make the price of three pieces of silver.
　However, it was judged that three pieces of silver coins were a little too expensive, so for the time being, the profit was kept low to two pieces of silver coins.

"Well, some of them are too expensive to afford, so it's hard to raise the price further."

　Of course I can't afford it, but I think I can do it if I push myself a little bit too hard for two silver coins.
　But when it came to whether it was worth the price for a meal, it was certain that there were some who couldn't tolerate it.
　In the first place, there are many people who come to Gillum to make money.
　That being the case, it would be very unlikely that two pieces of silver would be used in a single meal.
　Even for adventurers, this is the tightest season of the year, as many people work to save money for the winter.
　This year, however, thanks to the extensions, you don't have to go outside the city to work on killing monsters, even if you run out of money beyond the winter.
　Even if the extensions themselves don't go ahead, there's plenty of other work to do.
　In that sense, you don't have to go out of the guillem this year... and until the next winter, even if you're in trouble for money.
　...but some of them will try to get out of the guillem to make more money.
　In fact, hunting monsters outside is more difficult due to the effects of snow and the ferocity of monsters characteristic of winter than building extensions where they work in a safe place, but there is no doubt that they will make money.

"That's right. ... Oh, well, I'll be leaving now. I'll have to pick up the dishes from the other guests."

　So she collects the plates and forks used by Ray and Sett -- though Sett does not use the forks -- and hands him four copper coins and heads to where the other guests are.

(Four pieces of copper... I mean, one piece of silver and eight pieces of copper is actually the price of this yakidon. I think it's good enough, but it might be a little difficult to continue at this price.)

　That's what Ray thought when he saw the woman collecting the dishes from the customers and the customers still standing in the stalls.
