Sounds like this place."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was a little surprised when I arrived at the restaurant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Since it is a sweet confectionery store, I imagined it to have a pretty exterior, but it was rustic with no decoration.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The sweet aroma of doughnuts wafted in the air around the shop, stimulating my appetite.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It smells good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

However, it is a little hard now that I am hungry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Still, even though it was not yet noon, there were already customers lined up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I heard it was a popular restaurant, but it's amazing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm looking forward to it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes," he said. I'm so excited!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I got in line at the end of the line and waited excitedly for my turn, and within a minute I felt people lining up behind me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The number of customers is really constantly increasing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After waiting for a while, we were able to enter the store, but there were people lined up inside the store as well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The store had the same rustic look as the exterior, with few decorative items.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As I looked for products, I saw a beautiful line of doughnuts neatly lined up in front of the people in the front row.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Looking at them, I realized that the store's rule seems to be that you don't pick up the items yourself, but have the store staff pick them up for you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It looks like there are seven different flavors of doughnut batter."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Druid points to the product description on the wall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There are seven varieties?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Reading the manual, it seems that not only the dough but also each cream on top is carefully selected.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Welcome, please place your order.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I walked slowly and when I came to the front of the product, a pretty lady called out to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Are you sure you want to order?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Can I have one of every kind?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Druid placed the order, but the woman in front of him looked puzzled when she heard it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'What, all kinds?'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Please wait a moment."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The woman goes to the back of the store, looking a little flustered.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As I watched her curiously, she came out with a man from inside.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

She said, "Excuse me. We have already sold out of three kinds today.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's not even noon yet and they are sold out?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They must be really popular.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, well, I'll have one of each except for the ones we're sold out of, please."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sorry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, it's a popular restaurant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After a short wait, a woman hands me a basket with a cloth filled with donuts.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When you take it, the druid hands you the money.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, I was so distracted by the donuts in line that I didn't look at the price.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I looked at the price list posted in the store.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Eighty dollars per doughnut.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's expensive. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's see, I bought 22 pieces, so that's 1,760 Dhs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It turned out to be an unexpectedly expensive reward.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Shall we go?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes," he said. Thanks for the treat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you for that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess Mr. Druid knows why I asked for a reward.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you' too, for respecting my feelings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A short walk takes us to a park, it's a little colder today, so let's eat there."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yeah.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The sun has been out for a while.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thanks to that, the cold that had been continuing for the past few days eased up a bit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The power of the sun is amazing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I thought, "I'm still cold," but it was still cold, so I bought a warm drink on the way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The sun was warm, but the wind was cold.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The winter cloak that Mr. Salifa lent us, not caring about our attire, was warm, but it did not seem to protect us from the wind that blew against our cheeks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We found a chair where the sun was shining and sat down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I put the basket between me and the druid and take a piece of cloth from the basket.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'It's hard to tell with so many different kinds.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In the basket are various doughnuts, neatly arranged.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I can't imagine what they taste like just by looking at them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But they all look delicious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think this is the one Dora was recommending."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Druid points to one in the basket.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think it was called "Kokora".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was a doughnut with dark brown cream and crushed nuts on top.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Can I have one?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Of course. Yes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The druid wets a towel with water and hands it to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

At times like this, I think it would be useful to be able to use water magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But you have to wring it out before you use it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I received the towel, it seemed to be a little moist and dripping with water.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wring it out and wipe my hands.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Next, I take the druid's hand and wipe it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, no, no. I'll take 'here', but what about you, Druid?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nn~"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Druid doesn't like anything too sweet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Maybe a doughnut with sour fruit on it would be okay?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And the sourness should refresh the sweetness.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I bite into the "kokora" in my hand, looking sideways at the druid who is hesitant to try it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The bittersweetness spreads in my mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And the nuts are good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's delicious. Mr. Druid, these are bittersweet and delicious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Bittersweet?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not sure I'd like that. This cream keeps it from being too sweet, so it's easier to eat."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Do the others taste the same?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't know.　But with this cream, even a druid might enjoy it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He looks at the donuts in his hand at my words and takes one from the basket.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then he puts the doughnut in his mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I stare at him a little anxiously, wondering what to do if it is too sweet for my palate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But the next look he gives me relaxes me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Did you like it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, this cream is even better than I thought it would be. The sauce-like substance on top is a little sweet, but it's okay.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We each took a turn and proceeded to eat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As expected from Dora's recommendation, they were delicious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

However, 22 pieces were still a lot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I thought, "Let's not overdo it and leave the rest for the next snack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sure you'll be fine. Did you have enough, Druid?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmm?　Yeah, I'm fine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Really?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I only ate the same amount as I did.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Maybe it's because it's sweet and I don't get in that much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But I definitely don't think it's enough in terms of quantity.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Oh, Mr. Druid, instead of soup over there, how about some of that meat next to it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Soup makes me happy during the cold season, but I think I'd rather not have soup in this village for the time being.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But for now, I'll just ask Dora for her recommendation for a soup shop.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If it's Dora's recommendation, I'm sure I won't miss it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Meat, huh? Sure, I'd like something other than sweet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess it's impossible for Mr. Druid to say only sweetness, I'll keep that in mind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Come to think of it, I haven't checked out the other stalls because of the sheer number and color of the soup shops.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm kind of looking forward to seeing what kind of meat they sell.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's go."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We left the park and headed for the butcher shop.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The store sign says "grilled meat skewers," and they have two types of meat: "Horusu" and "Taion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I have never heard of these meats.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I have heard that 'hors d'oeuvres' and 'tain' are the types of moo raised on dairy farms," he said. Dairy farming is very active in this village."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But still, "holus" and "tain"?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I feel like I've heard this somewhere before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Do you want some Ivy?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm curious to taste it, but I don't have room in my stomach."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I should have left a little room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I come to the food stall, the savory smell stimulates my appetite, but alas, I am full.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ahhh, but it looks delicious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see. Can't I just have a bite?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Did I stare at the meat with such greedy eyes?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But when they say one bite, I am extremely attracted to it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is it okay?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Of course. It tastes better together, doesn't it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ah, heh.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mm."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Druid purchased three of each of two types of meat skewers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The skewered meat is quite large, which surprises me a bit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After all, the sweetness alone wasn't quite enough.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Druid, please make sure to tell me when you don't have enough.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'No, I really thought I had enough earlier, but the smell of roasting meat made me kind of hungry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is there such a thing as sweetness that gives the illusion that you are full?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, but this savory smell makes me a little woozy, even with a full stomach.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I receive the meat and return to the chair I was sitting in earlier.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Which one do you want?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmm?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not sure if it's a 'holus' or a 'taiyun'. I heard that the tender one is 'taiun'.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's see, I'll take the "Taion" one.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He accepts the skewer and bites into the meat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The meat and the tasty sauce are sweet and tasty.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Druid, this is delicious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Good. Are we done?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. I'm really full."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Druid accepts the skewer from me and starts eating it with relish.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I knew I should have left a little room in my stomach.
