It took a while to prepare the food since it was the first time, but Ira and I were already working at full capacity, so we were able to serve the food as fast as we could.

'Hey, Tori. You're serving some interesting dishes.

A fresh voice rang out as I processed customers one after another.

'Ah, Michal!

'You're in trouble, Tori. If you have a new dish, you'd better give me a call. That's why I'll have two fries, please.

'You'll get more for your money if you get the burger with it, right?'

'I'm sorry, but I already had breakfast at the inn. I'll just have the fries.

You flew all the way here after breakfast.

Your footwork on food-related matters is as light as ever.

After receiving the four coppers, he gives Michal two fries in a triangular bag.

He smiles a fresh smile and quickly leaves the line and starts to eat them nearby.

'Mmmm! I didn't know that just frying thinly sliced potatoes in oil could taste so good!''

'I've kept the seasoning simple with salt, but I'm sure it would be delicious with some pepper and herbs mixed in.

'Tori, you are a genius! I bet that would go well with it!

I muttered to myself, and Michal took out a pepper from his pocket and started to pour it on.

'Yes, the pepper has a wonderful savory and tangy taste.

I wonder why he carries seasonings with him. I guess it's not his business.

The number of orders for fries is increasing rapidly, probably thanks to Michal's delicious looking fries.

It seems that there are many customers who want a light meal in the morning, and many of them order fries by themselves, just like Michal.

Come to think of it, I haven't fed Ira fries since I've been so busy.

I'll leave Ira's fries here.

'Eh, I want some! But I can't keep my hands off it!

'Well, it tastes good cold, so pick it up when you have time.

'No! I want to eat it when it's at its best!

That said, Ira is busy cooking the p t s and bread on the griddle.

Let me eat!

'...... yeah, yeah? Then, yes.

He picked up one of the fries and brought it to Ira's mouth, and he took it in his mouth with a crunch.

Ah! This is delicious!

It's a strange feeling, like feeding an animal.

'Oh, my God, Tori, no matter how many times I ask you out, you never get involved, but you do that to her?

'It's kind of nice, isn't it!

In a mysterious mood, I saw a somewhat disgruntled Natalia and an amused Lilith laughing.

Behind them was Mack, her bodyguard, who had probably just come by after another night's work.

I feel like I've been seen by the one person among my acquaintances who shouldn't have been seen by me.

What can I get you?

'One big burger and fries for Mac. I'll have one with fries and an ahhh.

'I'll have a hamburger and fries too. With an 'ah-ha'!

What?

I froze at the unexpected order.

What a destructive order!

'...... You did it for the girl next door, but not for us?'

'Or is it optionality? If I pay extra, will you do it for me?'

Natalia becomes somewhat swarthy, and Lilith asks somewhat sensitively in an amused tone.

Lilith asks in an amused and somewhat sensitive manner, "Anyway, I have a feeling that if you don't take the job, there will be a lot of trouble.

Okay, don't talk like that. It's still morning.

'I know about the options.'

Lilith asks a rather nasty question.

'When you're an innkeeper, you hear things even if you don't want to hear them.

'd*mn, this much shaking is not enough to upset you, is it?

'That's something I do every day.

There, don't be so proud to be a s*xual harasser.

These two are too pungent to be treated in the morning, so let's serve them food and send them on their way.

Yes, a big burger and fries.

After hurriedly serving the food and receiving the bill, Natalia and Lilith both looked at each other with straight faces.

''What about ahhh?''

'............'

I didn't think he was serious.

They didn't seem to leave, so I shoved the still-hot fries into their mouths.

'Mmmm, Tori's so hot!

But it's delicious!

I don't know. I feel like I'm looking at something obscene.

I don't think I can beat them no matter what I do.

At any rate, I guess they were satisfied with the ah-ha moment, and they left with a french fry each.

Next, what would you like to order?

'I'll give you a silver coin, let me hit you.

'Me too.

I found myself receiving jealous stares from the men in line.

See, this is what happens.



I'll tell you what.



'What is it? This?

When most of the people I knew were gone and the crowd was starting to thin out.

A blonde girl peeked out in front of me and asked me a question.

She was about the same age as Ira and I, around twelve.

She is wearing a high-quality dress, and behind her is a butler-like figure in a tuxedo suit. She looks like the daughter of a wealthy merchant or a noblewoman.

'It's a hamburger and fries,' she says.

I've never heard of this dish, but it looks delicious. Please give me one of each.

'That's fine, but could you please get in line? We serve them in order.'

There are still some left, so selling them is not a problem, but you can't sell them to someone who is already in line.

''Are you going to make me, an aristocrat, stand in line?''

Yes, she does look like a noblewoman after all. She looks miffed when I firmly refuse.



A different world where people of a higher rank than in previous lives prevail.

When they are ready, the life of a commoner like me is as light as a blow.

Such a scary aristocrat is quite scary, but this place is a little special.

'...... miss, the stall street is a place controlled by merchants. Even if you are a nobleman, you must not force your way into things or you will cause a commotion.

Is that so?

Yes, this market is controlled by many merchants.

Even the powerful nobles cannot avoid trouble if they get into conflict with the merchants who control the distribution of the royal city. The butler seemed to understand this and rebuked the young lady.

If that's the case, then there's nothing we can do. Well, this kind of thing isn't so bad, just like the life of a commoner.

''I'm glad you understand.''

Apparently, they came here to learn about the lives of commoners.

The butler rebuked her, and the young lady got in line.

Soon, the customers start to clear out, and it is the turn of the young lady in the back of the line.

Then, I'll have a hamburger and fries.

Wait! I'm enjoying the atmosphere of the city, so I'll pay for it myself.

The butler was about to place his order and give her a copper coin, but the young lady intervened and took the money out of her own pocket. The butler does not criticize her and looks at her smilingly.

I thought he was an aristocrat who was making a funny joke, but it seems that he is not a bad person.

After receiving the money, he hands the hamburger and fries to the young lady.

However, the lady does not seem to leave after receiving the money. She is standing there looking puzzled.

'...... what's wrong?

''Do you have a plate or a knife and fork?''

''No, it's not there, because you eat with your hands?''

I don't care if it's a fancy restaurant, this is a city street.

There is no such thing.

What? So, then, do you have a place to sit down, etc. ......?''

There is no such place in a food stall street where you are supposed to stand and eat, right? Everyone eats while walking or at the edge of the area.

When I pointed and explained to her, she looked at me and became more puzzled.

'...... is such a small thing.

Well, it might not be surprising that a young lady leading a classy life would think so.

'Uh, let's see... ......'

'I'm sorry, could you give me a bag or something to take home?'

Oh, yes. Okay.'

The butler offered on behalf of the hesitant young lady who had not yet made up her mind to eat standing up.

A large paper bag is provided for her to take home, so she piles up the hamburger and fries I gave her. She will probably take them home and eat them at the house or somewhere where she can sit comfortably.

Burgers and fries taste best when they are freshly made.

'Well, there's a lot to be said for nobility.

After seeing off the strange young lady and the butler, we continued our business as usual.
