在过去的几天里，吉内特花在看窗外的时间越来越多。
这扇窗户用大玻璃进行了翻新，可以看到街道，让她可以观察路过的人们。

我可以看着人流。

'哼。......'

--我有时会发出一声叹息。

'...... 经理，您的订单已经到达。
'............'
'...... 经理？
'............'

他没有回应玛格达的电话。
你到底是怎么了，吉内特？

'...... Hexenbiest Chichiprune。
'那不是他的名字!

哦，他在回应。

'...... 经理。你应该在工作中保持冷静'。
'是的，先生。对不起。你是对的，马格达先生。我会反思的'。

即便如此，吉内特还是有些无精打采地、心不在焉地看着窗外。

'嘿。你到底发生了什么事？你最近的表现很奇怪，奇蒂普鲁恩。
'不要试图让这个名字坚持下去!哦，八代先生。请忏悔吧!

为什么只有我？
这是不合理的。

'......，尽管现在是顾客少的时候，但除非经理搬家，否则我们不能上菜。
'是的，这就对了。我很抱歉。我马上回来'。

他整了整衣领，拍了拍脸颊，挑了挑眉毛，然后......。

'她的奶子抖动着。

--吉内特走进了厨房。

'...... Yashiro。她的一部分思想正在泄露出来。
'嗯。这是最重要的部分。我有点忘乎所以了。不要担心'。
'是...... Yashiro，这就是原因。

从厨房传来了油溅的声音。 从厨房里传来油溅的声音。
你还好吗？我希望我没有伤害自己或烧伤自己 ......

然后，突然，烹饪的声音停止了。
默哀片刻。
吉内特从安静的厨房里冲了出来。

'我很抱歉，先生。我忘了问你的订单!你想让我做什么？
'你永远不会长大，是吗？

你所做的一切都是为了长出奶子!好样的!

'...... 订购意大利面条carbonnuala'。
'什么？
'...... 打扰一下。我觉得我太土了。请给我一份意大利面条，谢谢。
'是的，先生。是的，先生！............我在做一些炒菜，我应该怎么处理它们......'。
'好吧，你得为我付钱。
'是的，先生!谢谢你，亚希罗先生。

吉内特笑了笑，走回了厨房。
看起来他的精神状态很好,....... 我相信你会很高兴听到这个消息，.......。

大兄弟"。

我不知道该如何理解这一点。
她把两杯咖啡放在一个托盘上。
最近，随着口味越来越稳定，洛雷塔在菜单中加入了咖啡。

它被称为 "洛雷塔混合"!

这是与吉内特的 "阳光亭混合 "不同的一种混合。
或者说，这是一种能表达我的口味的混合咖啡。

喜欢这种混合物的顾客开始增多，实际上吉内特正在秘密地成为竞争对手。
最近，吉内特一直在向我们展示这样的小变化，我一直在微微笑着。
因为......
'传统的口味是有价值的，因为它们永远不会改变。没有必要不耐烦。

When I heard her mumbling to herself, it made me smile. I just wanted to rub it in. ...... Oh, is that always the case? Yeah, yeah. My self-control is very strong.

'Big brother, ...... what are you grinning about by yourself?'
'No, nothing. I just thought my self-control was strong.'
'Self-control is a madman......?You mean you're a runaway who can't hold back at all?
'Who's the madman?

I'll rub it, your normal bulge!

'More importantly, it's the manager.

Loretta leans closer to me, careful not to spill her coffee.

'I think there's something wrong with me lately.
'You too?
'I'm not crazy!
'No, you're not!All of humanity knows that you're normal.
'I'm not normal!I'm not normal! ...... I mean, you're so well known that I'm confused!

Her expression changes frequently. I never get tired of looking at it. It's much more varied than a kaleidoscope.

And...
That's not what I was trying to say. ......

'You noticed it too, didn't you?
'Yes. I've been in a bit of a daze lately.'
'...... Yashiro is also lazy lately.'
'Hey, is my self-control really that unreliable?I'm not sure what to do.
'...... often feel the gaze'.

Magda presses her hand to her own modest bulge.
Hahahaha, it's Magda, ............ you've noticed. That's what I'm talking about.

'Um, big brother ......, I've never felt your eyes on me at all.
'Hmm?Isn't that a good thing?
'I feel so lonely!
'Do you really want to be seen that much?
'How can you say that in front of an audience?It's not like that!Moderation is good. Moderation is good.

She's at a difficult age, Loretta.

'And how is it that Jeannette is so absent-minded?
'It's hard to explain, but ......'

At about the same time as Loretta tilted her head with a difficult expression, Ginette came out from the kitchen with the food.

'Thank you for waiting~!Spaghetti Napolita~na!
'Oh, it's like this.
'I see.'
'Huh!What is it?What's that?
'...... Manager. Carbonara.'
'Huh!I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

Ginette returned to the kitchen in a panic.
I don't know what to do, that spaghetti Napolita~na.

'That's fine for my meal.
'Well, let's eat together. Mine's probably ready too.'
'Yes, sir!
'Well, Loretta...'
'What is it?
'Coffee. It's getting cold.'
'What?Oh, no!

You're in a daze, too!
Pull yourself together, seriously.

After that, I waited for Loretta to refill the coffee, and decided to have a late lunch.
Facing Loretta, I ate my bribe at the back of the room.

'Have you been saying anything lately?
'Is it the manager?
'Yes.

As you eat, get some information from Loretta.
Anything. Ask her if there's anything that's bothering her, no matter how trivial. The cause of the problem is usually hidden in the things you say, you know.



'Hmmm... ...... "It's not raining this year..."'

This time last year was the time when we were troubled by the terrible damage caused by the continuous heavy rain.
The kids in the church were getting sick from the sewage, so we built a sewer.

A year ago, it was raining like crazy.
But this year it hasn't rained at all. When it rains, of course, it rains, but it never rains as long as it did last year.
According to the story, this city has the same climate and weather at basically the same time of the year, although there are some differences. There are no four seasons, but the weather changes in the same span of time.

In other words, this year's weather is abnormal.

'But I haven't heard that the manager is particularly fond of rain. Rather, he was happy that the laundry dries easily when the weather is good.
'I guess so.

It's not because it's not raining that he's not cheerful. Maybe.

'Big brother, did you do something?
'What do you mean, what did you do?
'I peeped into your bath, or I peeped into your clothes, or I forced myself up your skirt.
'Hahahaha. Loretta, you've got ketchup on your mouth and eyebrows above your eyes. I'll take it off.'
'I don't want you to take off my eyebrows!

As she hurriedly held her eyebrows with both hands, the pasta entangled in the fork of her right hand stuck to her face, staining Loretta's face red. ...... It's a catastrophe.

'Huh. ...... Big brother, that's terrible.'
'Is it my fault? ......'

I can't help it, so I wipe it off with my handkerchief.
Oh, no. I'll have to ask Grandma Mum again, you know.

'Mmmm ......, that tickles...'
'Don't make any sweet noises.

You look like you're flirting with me.

'...... Loretta is lucky.'

Magda, who has been standing next to us for some time, says to Loretta, who still has a little ketchup on her.

'...... If this had been carbonara, Loretta's face would have been stuck with the smell of cheese - rotten milk, and she would have been called "rotten milk girl".
'Was there such a danger?That was a close call, wasn't it?
'...... Loretta was fortunate enough to fail to become a rotten milk girl.'
'I hate it when you say that, it's like I wanted to be one but couldn't!

'Magda is sulking because she's working alone.

'Magda. Do you want a bite?
'............'

I picked up the stir-fried vegetables with my chopsticks, and Magda's movements stopped for a moment.
After a few moments of thought, ......

'...... I'm at work.'
'Well, don't say that. Just one sip.'
'............ if that's what Yashiro wants.'

Magda opens her mouth, and I feed her some stir-fried vegetables.
He chews quietly and swallows slowly.

'...... oto taste'.
'Where do you learn these expressions?
'Magda!Would you like some of mine?It's very tasty.'
'...... I'm at work right now.'
'Don't say that, you can have mine too.
'...... No, I'm working.'
'You're getting more impolite!I'm feeling a huge wall!
'......Back to work.'
'Magda!Eat it!It's delicious!

I couldn't help but laugh at the exchange between the two.
They seemed to be very disappointed that they couldn't eat together. It was a cute revenge.
It's a reaction like a young child who has bent his navel.

I think Magda has become much more emotional since she came to the Sunlit Pavilion. He was really expressionless at first.
Ginette seemed to be pleased with this change, and began to report to me that 'Magda-san laughed' and 'Magda-san sulked' at every opportunity. She seemed to be very happy about it.

That's why Jeannette hasn't been well lately. ...... Specifically, the past week or so.
What the hell happened to her?
Did she show any signs of ...... remember ...... anything ......? ......

'Yashiro'.

As I was diving into a sea of thoughts, confronting my own memories, a voice called out to me from behind.
When I turned around, my flat chest was at eye level, and when I looked up, a beautiful girl with bright red hair was standing there.

'Hey, titty girl.
'Who's a rotten tits girl?What's a rotten tits girl?


'It's about Loretta.'
'No, it's not!I want you to refrain from spreading misinformation!

Without asking my permission, Estella sits down next to me with a dumbfounded look on her face.

'Give me a bite.
'Sorry, I'm at work.
'I don't understand what you mean by that refusal.

You don't need to know what it means. Order your own food. Pay for it.

'You seem to be busy lately. You haven't shown up at the sunny-side up restaurant very often.
'Huh?Have you been lonely?'
'No, not really. ...... Oh, that's right. I was looking for a new tool. I've missed you so much, Estella.'
'That prick of a personality of yours is not improving at all. In fact, it's only getting better.'

No, I'm not. The new product Norma's selling is pretty high quality and well made. With it, you can do fine craftsmanship, make cheap products look like luxury products, and sell them at a rip-off price. ...... Oops, I don't need to tell you all that, I'll keep quiet.

'Ah!Estella!

There was a short sound, followed by a loud 'thud! And then, with a loud thud, Jeannette fell to the floor.

'Ugh ............, it hurts.
'Hey, are you okay?Jeannette-chan.'
'Yes......, I fell.'
'Uh, yeah. I was watching .......'

I'd like to know how she could fall so spectacularly on an empty floor.

'Manager, are you okay?
'Oh, yes. I'm sorry for worrying you, Loretta-san.
'Here's your Neapolitan, please pour it over!
''What?
'It's delicious and energizing!
'Loretta. I know you want to do it, but it's too fast. Feel the subtlety of the air around here, okay?''
'Huh. ...... I want to do it too. ......'

I'm not sure what to do.
I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it. You can't say 'Thank you!

'Excuse me, Estella-san. Would you like something to eat?
'I guess so. ......'
'...... I recommend takoyaki.'
'Whoa!...... I'm so surprised. Oh, Magda. Don't stand behind me with no sign of me.'
'......The takoyaki at the Sunshine Pavilion are top-notch.'
'I know that, but ...... I'm in the mood for rice today.'
'...... recommends popcorn.'
'I heard that, you're talking about me!
'...... Don't worry. I'll add rice.
'It doesn't match!

For some reason, Magda tried to get Estella to eat her own specialties.
...... Oh, so that's what it is.

I'll go make it for you. I'll go and make it for you, so you can eat whatever you like.
'No, Jeannette. You stay here.'
'Huh?'

Taking Magda's intentions into consideration, I left my seat. I've just finished stir-frying the vegetables.

'I'll go make it for you. In exchange, the menu will be 'Chef's Whimsical Lunch'.
'I'm really nervous about what's going to be on .......'
'Don't worry. I'll be serious today.
'...... I think we would have a much friendlier relationship if you had stayed serious on a regular basis.'

It's still good enough.
I took my empty plate and left the table.
There's no point in me staying at ......, though, so ............

'Loretta, come to the kitchen after you clear the table. I need your help with something.'
'Yes, sir!I'll take care of it!I'm probably good at that!'



Another random thing: ......
Well, it's easy enough for Loretta to help. It shouldn't be a problem.

'Um, Mr. Yashiro. I can cook for you at .......'
'It's been a while since you've seen Estella, hasn't it?
'Huh?......, yes. Yes, it has. She seems to be very busy these days.'
'Then have a little talk with her. Taking a break is necessary to do a good job.'
'Relax: ......'

She ruminated on the words, thought for a moment, and then smiled as if her buds were bursting at the seams.

'Yes. Then I will take your word for it and take a break.

She bows her head and sits down on the seat opposite Estella.
And then Magda came in with a cup of tea.
It's funny ......, I thought you were here just a few minutes ago, when did you get the tea?

'Magda. You were here a while ago, weren't you?'
'......Yashiro. On the pillow of Magda's bed, there are these words: ............ 'It's an afterimage ......'.'
'I'm really curious as to why you wrote that on your pillow. ...... It wasn't an afterimage, was it?
'...... Mysterious woman. The name is Magda.
'The Mysterious Woman I know doesn't use her superhuman physical powers to create mysteries. ......'

Well, okay.
Ginette is happy the tea is here.
I said a few words to Ginette and Estella, then went into the kitchen.

'I'll make you something easy to eat.
'Yes, sir!

With Loretta in tow, I laid out the ingredients on the cooking table.

'There are a lot of ingredients. ...... What are you going to make?
'I'm not going to make it, I'm just going to ...... cut it up.'
'Huh?

The food culture of this world is very skewed.
If you have never heard of popcorn, you may have heard of miso (soybean paste), and if you have heard of lemon, you may have heard of vinegar.
...... Miso and vinegar are probably more difficult than lemon.

In the end, the degree of development of the field depends on how much research and enthusiasm the guild handling them has for cultivating, breeding, fishing, and hunting.
It is inevitable that the sales of soybeans will explode if miso and soy sauce are produced.

On the other hand, the Yaploks, who could not find a use for popcorn or flint corn, were living in poverty.

In other words, each foodstuff developed at a different rate as a result of the tremendous research being conducted to increase their own profits.
In other words, each foodstuff developed at a different pace as a result of the tremendous research conducted to increase their own profits. However, the feeling of "unevenness" is based on the sense of Japan, so we can only accept it if we are told that this is normal.

'Agh!It stung my nose!I don't like that sour stuff!
'Then, I'll like you from today.
'I'm not that simple!Tell me today and I'll start liking you from today. ......'
'Just cut those into long, thin strips for me.
'Mmm ...... I got it.'

While Loretta cuts the cucumber into long strips, I mix vinegar with sugar and salt.
I pour the mixture over the white rice and mix it with the vinegar as if I were cutting the rice while blowing air through a fan that I kept in my Assunto during the heat wave.

It's sushi rice.

That's why I'm going to make a hand-rolled sushi.
For the seaweed, we will use the seaweed that Hamko and his friends collected while repairing the nets of the Sea Fishing Guild. I'll be sure to lightly roast it over an open flame to accentuate its aroma and crispy texture.

Since I had some sea fish, I used them as well.
Masha had come to the 42nd district because Delia was not doing well lately. She came to see me this morning and left some sea fish as a souvenir.
I'm going to make thick eggs from Nepheli's eggs, and Delia's salmon will be fillets and flakes.

The lettuce is from Momat's place. The lettuce is from Mormat's farm, which I negotiated with him to set up a "ham kid field" to produce lettuce with good taste and texture.
The original agreement that "the vegetables grown by Hamko will be given priority to the Sunshine Pavilion" is still in effect, and the vegetables delivered to the Sunshine Pavilion are of very high quality.

This past year. It's an exaggeration to say that ...... is based on all the things I've done with the people I've met in the past year, but I've created a dish that fully utilizes all the contacts I've made.

'Okay, I'll take it with me.
'Is this the end?Are you sure about this?

Loretta followed me with a half-confident ...... or perhaps two-confused look.

'Here you go. Let's cook and eat together.

I lay out the sushi rice, nori, and other ingredients on a table for four. I put soy sauce on a small plate,...... no, it's sushi, so I'll call it 'murasaki',...... and prepare it.

'Yashiro-san. What is this?I have a feeling this is going to be a lot of fun!

Ginette's big eyes glittered.
On the other side of the room, Estella's cheeks relax with a grin.
This guy ...... seriously didn't expect that, did he?You'll be able to find a lot of things that you can do to make your life easier.



'This is called Temakizushi, where you roll up whatever ingredients you want and eat them. Well, watch this for now. I'll show you how it's done.

I put a piece of seaweed larger than the palm of my hand on top of the seaweed, put a good amount of sushi rice on it, spread it out, put lettuce, thick sliced egg, cucumber, and salmon flake mayonnaise on it, and rolled it up. Although I used salmon flakes instead of tuna, it was a kind of salad roll.

Then dip it in 'Murasaki' and eat it at ......!

The fire-roasted seaweed makes a crispy sound. The nori makes a crispy sound.
And the taste that spreads in your mouth is ...... just like sushi rolls. It's so nostalgic. ......

And then, each of you can add your favorite ingredients like this: ......'
'I'll try it too!
'Let me try too!
'Oh, I want to try it too!I want to try it too!

Halfway through the ...... explanation, the pariahs swarmed the bait. Listen to me, hear me out. I don't care.

'...... This is no time to be working.
Oh, come on.

No, you can eat it, but you can't say it's 'not a good time to be working. You know what?You're a professional.
Fortunately, all the customers seemed to have gone, and the only people at the restaurant were the people concerned.
Although there are more customers than before, it's still a restaurant. Depending on the time of day, the restaurant may become unoccupied. I guess this will always be the case no matter how popular the restaurant becomes.

'Big brother!I can't reach the seaweed!
'You put in too much.
'Yashiro, what should I do?I can't reach the seaweed!
'You too, Estella?
'...... The seaweed is too small.'
'It's too much, Magda!You can't have all kinds!
'That ...... Yashiro-san ............ seaweed...'
'Even Jeannette?

That's what happens when you overdo it.
If you try too hard to put it on and roll it up, it won't reach .......

Yeah. That's true.

'Reduce the number of ingredients. Just one or two.'
'But I want them all together!
'The result is 'unrolled sushi rolls'!
'But, but!The ingredients you see here are like a bond with the people you've met so far!I want to cherish those bonds!
I want to cherish those bonds.'' 'You're just being greedy while saying something plausible!
'Yes, sir!
''I've already admitted it!

Behind the stupid speech of the stupid Loretta, Ginette stares at the food on the table and mutters in a whisper.

'...... Kizuna'.

That's what Loretta said, but ...... it may have touched something in Jeannette.
It's a very good idea to have a little bit of time to think about it.

'Jeannette.

Estella, who hadn't seen her face recently, would have recognized her clearly now.
There was something wrong with Jeannette after all.

'What's going on?I'll at least listen to you.
'H......'

When she realized that all of us were staring at her, she looked down in embarrassment and then looked up as if she had made up her mind.

'That ....... What would you do if the people you love and who are very important to you were having a fight?What do you think I should do?

When she said this, Jeannette's face looked as if she was about to start crying, and I could easily imagine that she had been struggling with her feelings, unable to tell anyone.

But ...... people who love each other fight?

Perhaps this is not a parable, but a fact that Jeannette herself has witnessed.
Who in the world is fighting with who in ......

When I looked at Magda and Loretta for some reason, they sensed that I was watching them and moved almost simultaneously and hugged each other. It's a show of friendship.

'...... I'm sorry. In the event that you have any kind of questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the following web site: ....... But I'll take care of it myself ......, okay? And ......'.

Hmm?
That tone of voice: ......What?No way. ......

I looked at Jeannette's face, unable to believe the conclusion my brain had come to.
I looked at Jeannette's face, hoping she would bring me a name other than the one I had guessed: ......

'Actually, about a week ago, I ...... stumbled upon it. ......'

As we stared, Ginette mentioned both names with a somber expression on her face.
It was just as I had expected,.......



'I saw Delia-san and Millie-san arguing.

Even after hearing that, I was still having trouble understanding the situation.
Why are those two people ............?

The sun's rays are shining through the large windows in the quiet cafeteria.


The sun was shining brightly, even though it was the rainy season.
