The dining-room door opens, as if it had calmed down a little.
　The maid brought the main meat dish.
　As soon as the door opens, an appetizing scent drifts around, and the sniffers smile involuntarily.
　Even if you don't eat it, the food is definitely delicious. That's probably because I understood it.
　But... when Ray saw the food that had been brought and appeared directly before him... no, the others, including Elena, looked like they were out of their element.
　It's only natural that the food served before us was just a piece of meat.
　If you don't know anything about Georgima, you might as well shout, "Don't be silly!"
　It didn't happen because everyone here, including the Duke of Kelebel... including Ray, believed in Georgima's culinary skills.
　In fact, soup, salad, bread and many other appetizers were all very delicious.
　Georgima, who cooked that much food, could never have served meat that was just baked meat.
　Above all, Georgima is so obsessed with cooking.
　It was certain that I would never play around in such a situation.
　What's more, if Ray really makes you think it's delicious, you'll be able to learn about unknown dishes, so there's no way you can cut corners in such a situation.

"...I'll try it first."

　The first to say so was the Duke of Kelebel.
　Normally, it's someone else who should eat the food first and then eat it himself.
　Nevertheless, the Duke of Kelebel was the first to say he would eat because he trusted Georgima.
　Even under such circumstances, it should be called carelessness to do so here.
　At any rate, the maid carried the meat into her mouth. . . . .

"What!"

　The moment he puts the meat into his mouth, the Duke of Kelebel's movements stop.

『……』

　Ray, Elena and Arcadia stare at the Duke of Kelebel.
　The Duke of Quevel would have said something at once if it had not tasted so bad, or if it hadn'd not tasted so good.
　However, as long as they are not imitating it, this meat, which looks like it's only baked, is not the only one.
　and a few seconds after the Duke of Kelebel brought the meat to his mouth, until he finally began to taste it... to swallow it.

"Phew!"

　The voice of the Duke of Kelebel, which is unlikely to be the voice after swallowing meat, comes out of his mouth.
　It's like a sweaty man drinking cold beer or something.
　Perhaps he never expected such a voice to come out of his mouth, but his wife Arcadia, his daughter Elena, and even his maids looked disbelievingly at him.

"Is that you?"
"...try it first, and you'll understand the meaning of my action. It's not persuasive to put it into words. It's a taste that you can only feel for yourself."

　The Duke of Kelebel then carries wine to his mouth as if to wash the aftertaste of the dish in his mouth.
　Encouraged by the words, Elena carries the cut meat of the maid into her mouth... the next moment she is as speechless as the Duke of Kerebel.
　It was only natural that Arcadia and Ray, who had not yet eaten meat, would be interested in it.
　At first glance, it looks like nothing more than grilled meat.
　But, as long as you don't expect the Duke of Kelebel or Elena to be like this just by eating such a dish, of course it shouldn't be just grilled meat.
　Strangely... no, it's inevitable that Ray and Arcadia both eat the meat on the plate, succumbing to the curiosity that comes out of their bodies.

'What!'

　In an instant, Ray and Arcadia were both shocked.
　The first thing that spread in your mouth was the refreshing flavor.
　Then, the taste of meat spreads through your mouth in an instant, and you change the taste of the meat from bite to bite.
　If you think it's a spicy taste, it's the sweetness of the fat, the acidity that stimulates your appetite, and the flavor of the rich meat itself.
　The next moment, however, a strong taste of shellfish or something spreads through your mouth, and you can enjoy the taste of seafood soup that has been boiled for a long periods of time.
　There's no doubt in your mouth that only looks like a piece of meat.
　Nevertheless, there was a wide variety of flavors in my mouth just from meat... and that was why I felt as if I had eaten a course meal with just a piece of meat.

"...this is...awesome..."

　Ray's remarks naturally come out of his mouth, but no one can disagree with them.
　It's not that difficult to combine complex flavors into one ingredient.
　However, if you do so, you'll find all the flavors mixed into the food, and it won't be something you can call delicious.
　What's more, each person's way of eating is... different places to chew and taste meat.
　Nevertheless, the meat in front of you gives the viewer satisfaction that it tastes good without being bland.
　Ray has no idea how it will taste like this.
　What's more, the meat was not prepared for each dish from the start, but for each dish by the maid.
　It's possible that Georgima had told her in advance which meat the maid was going to give to whom... but when asked if she could imitate it that accurately, Ray couldn't help but turn his head.

(How did you season it this way in the first place?)

　From there, Ray doesn't understand in the first place.
　If you are asked to do the same thing, it's not very likely that you can do it like that way.
　Ray has eaten a lot of food since he came to this world, and I can imagine that this is probably the case even though I don't know how to cook it in detail.
　Regardless of whether that is the case or not, I can imagine that… I can't imagine at all how the meat on the plate in front of me would be cooked like this.
　It really looks like nothing more than grilled meat.

(No, perhaps, because of his skill in cooking, he ought to be considered to be employed by the Duke of Quevel.)

　If you're talking about luxurious food made from rare ingredients, you'll be able to cook it to some extent -- and yet you'll still need the skills to call it first-class.
　However, Ray had predicted that cooking that would not make the person who ate it realize how it would taste like this would be a masterpiece.

"This... I've eaten Georgima's food so many times before... I've never been so surprised. Not at all."

　The Duke of Kelebel carried fresh meat into his mouth, muttering it in an ever-changing, ever-changing way.
　The reason why the tone was mixed with feelings of frustration and satisfaction was because I couldn't make such a big meal with the ingredients I had prepared.
　And just by meeting someone named Ray... by looking for an unknown dish in it... Georgima has created a whole new dish.
　At the very least, the Duke of Kelebel has eaten a variety of dishes from that standpoint, but this is the first time in his life that he has eaten them like this.
　I'm happy and frustrated about it.

(Were you a little lucky for me?)

　That's what Ray thinks, eating meat that doesn't seem to be cooked normally.
　He must have been glad that the atmosphere of the Duke of Quelevel, which had existed before he ate meat, had vanished temporarily.
　Given the gravity of the story, there is no doubt that it will be necessary to talk about it only temporarily, and that the expression "Elena's course of action" will not be correct in this case.
　Still, Ray's temporary focus on cooking was a breath.

"You Georgima... how did you cook this kind of food? I'm a good cook, but I can't imagine how you can cook this kind of food at all right.

　Arcadia asks her husband, but not many children of noble families usually find cooking a hobby.
　Well, I'm really poor... unless you're a nominal aristocrat who lives no differently than the ordinary people.
　Arcadia, however, is the Duchess of Kelebel, the wife of the Duke of Mileana, who holds the second highest title after the royal family.
　People in such a position can normally stop cooking.
　... and yet it's the great thing about Arcadia that she carries on.
　Besides, Arcadia, perhaps because of her talent in that area, cooks much better than the chefs around her.
　That's not hard to imagine how good Georgima was at cooking after eating Arcadia's food.

"You say so. I don't know what Arcadia doesn't understand."

　Unlike his wife Arcadia, the Duke of Kelebel is not so familiar with cooking.
　However, it's just a comparison with Arcadia.
　Generally speaking, the Duke of Kelebel is well versed in cooking and has more than a general knowledge as a nobleman.

"Why don't you ask Georgima later, father, mother, and I'll happily tell you how she cooked it?"

　In general, many people with high technology want to monopolize the technology by themselves.But Georgima is not that type, and she is willing to expand her knowledge and skills.
　In other words, he even wants to build on his technology and develop more.
　However, there is no way that there will be anyone who has more skill than Georgima, and Georgima is always cutting edge in cooking after all the time.

"That's fine, but... I don't know if I can understand it or not. Really, what can I do to cook like this?"

　Again, muttering softly, the Duke of Kelebel carries the meat to his mouth.
　And again, the course meal with a variety of flavors of meat is served in your mouth.
　Being able to enjoy the taste of vegetables and seafood while still being meat is a rare experience.
　Moreover, as long as you eat only one piece of meat, you can still eat as many courses as you like.
　Nevertheless, you can't help but describe it as a mysterious dish because you can get enough satisfaction from eating meat.
　What's more, the taste is subtly different depending on the meat.
　For example, one meat tastes like fish while the other tastes like crab or shrimp.
　In other words, the more you eat, the more you enjoy the different course meals... when everyone is smirking at such dishes, the door of the restaurant opens.

"How was the food today? Did you really think it was good?"

　As soon as he entered the dining room, it was Georgima who naturally called out to Ray.
　Open the door before the Duke of Kelebel's reply, and ignore the Duke of Kelebel, the head of the house, and call out to Ray.
　Generally speaking, it would have been natural to be called rude, but since I fully enjoyed Georgima's food, I can't complain.
　Georgima served just that much food that would be tolerated for this attitude.
　...however, everyone but the Duke of Kelebel knows that Georgima always has this attitude.
　The only exception was Ray, who, let alone himself, had no idea that even the Duke of Quevel was behaving this way.
　However, he soon learned from his surroundings that it was nothing special, so he turned his eyes to Georgima and opened his mouth.

"Oh, honestly, it's this good... No, that's not all. It's the first time I've ever experienced a shock or surprise."
"Hahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

　Georgima asks me with a bright look, and Ray says the name of the dish he had in mind before this meal... ramen.
