Black and Fea-sensei's conversation was still going on, and Noin-san and I were killing time chatting with them.
　After a while, I started to feel hungry.

''I'm kind of hungry, aren't I?
'Yes. I've moved a lot harder myself and I'm ashamed to say I'm hungry.

　The case with Fia-sensei is settled, and I'm no longer in a tense state of mind, and my stomach is complaining of hunger.
　I'd like to put something in my stomach, but I can't go to the friendly city in front of Noin-san, and I don't feel good about leaving.

I'm not sure. Did something happen?

　I thought that there would have been at least white rice and takuan in the magic box. When I made the magic box appear in my palm, Alice appeared at just the right time.

"........Alice?
....

　Alice silently took out a piece of wood out of nowhere, and when she thought her hand flashed for a moment, a rather magnificent stall was created there.
　The sign on the stall read 'Alice's Delicious Stall'.

''By the way, the price is a special price that includes 'travel expenses'!
....

　You're a good man, aren't you? You've improved your business in just a short period of time.......you even have two chairs at the counter.
　It looks like they're trying to rip us off, but sadly, it's working great for us now.

　Noin-san and I look at each other and both let out a sigh of resignation before taking our seats at the counter.

'Welcome! Yes, this is the menu.
...Yeah?
''Uh ... the Phantom King?　What the hell is this?
What does it say?

　The menu Alice handed me with a big smile on her face only said 'anything, market value'. Is this thing, in other words?　You mean you'll make whatever you want to eat, but your bill will vary depending on the item?
　But I know Alice is great but can she really make any item?

　Perhaps sensing my doubts, Alice opens her mouth with a wry smile.

''Oh?　You doubt that, don't you?　 But if it's good, how about 'a gold coin' for the bill?
One gold coin you're going to start again.
''Not that I'm doubting the Phantom King but I'm a bit of a picky eater when it comes to Japanese food, you know?

　If you can't make the food that Noin-san and I requested, it's free, and if you can make it, you get a gold coin.........in other words, a million yen. Alice seems to be very confident.
　However, I don't think she doesn't have a chance to win. If it's a dish that doesn't exist in this world, even Alice wouldn't be able to make it.

''I understand. I'll accept it.
''As expected of you, Kite-san, you know what you're talking about~ Well then, please order.......''
So, I'll have the "sushi", then.

　When I tell her that I'll take it, Alice smiles deeply and urges me to order.
　Following her words, Noin-san orders sushi........isn't this a pretty good order?　Rice food is not common in this world.
　I've seen sashimi in the Hydra Kingdom, but I don't remember seeing sushi, and it takes skill to make it delicious.

　This was done, Noin-san.........

''For nigirizushi, there's a medium, a top and a special, which one do you want?
Mmmm... so, let's have a special one...
Okay.

　However, such expectations were betrayed and Alice easily asked me which type of nigiri was best. This guy.........knows sushi. Well, as expected of the Phantom King........
　No, not yet. I still don't know how it tastes. Noin-san seems to be picky about Japanese food, and it's not that easy........

　Right after thinking about that, nigiri sushi in a beautiful container is lined up in front of Noin-san.
　

''.........I'm here.
You're here.
'What?　Of, Mr. Noin!　I haven't eaten yet!
''........I can tell without eating it. This is an absolutely delicious one...

　But then he was defeated in an instant!　The sushi that Noin-san of the Japanese food party calls absolutely delicious just by looking at it........Alice, what a horrible thing to have.

''Well, what would you like to have, Kaito-san~?
Ugh.........oh, I'm.........

　No sushi what's left?　The food that doesn't exist in this world remember, I've been looking at this world for half a year. And I've read the guide Black gave me and I know that there is no 'thing'.

"....ramen noodles...

　Yes, when I think of noodles in this world, I think of pasta... I honestly haven't seen any other noodle dishes, and I've already confirmed that there are no ramen shops.
　I remember looking in Black's guidebook for ramen noodles, but I couldn't find any and got depressed, so this is a good chance to win.

What would you like to taste?　Salt?　Misso?　Soy sauce?　Pork belly?　Paitan?　You can do the Tan Tan Men, okay?
What....wha...wha...wha...wha...wha...wha...wha...wha...wha...wha...wha...wha?
How hard do you want your noodles to be?
Harder.
Okay.

　...no. This guy knows ... no, no, I don't know how it tastes yet!　Maybe it's not good........maybe there's a decimal point.

　And a little while later, ramen noodles were placed in front of me with a delicious aroma.

"Here you go - I added more chashu as a service.
Oh, thank you I'll have it.

　A nice thought for a man who's not eating well ... no. I can't see a future where we can beat this guy. It even has a spoonful of sponge and disposable chopsticks.

　

''........................Here it is.
You're here.

　It's frustrating but super delicious!　It's smugly annoying, but it's so good I can't even complain!
　Maybe it's because it's been a while since I've had ramen, but the thick broth latched onto the noodles, and the thickly cut chashu was so juicy that I can't complain about it.
　This was a complete defeat...........I was even glad to lose.

''........well, Alice....
What's up?
...Do you think you can make beef bowls and hamburgers?
Now you can take one 'one copper' to put in the magic box and take it home.
"...expensive. I'll buy it.
You're here.

　10,000 yen per dish - very pricey, but I want to eat it.
　I'd love to have a beef bowl or a hamburger in particular, because sometimes I just want to eat them.

Oh, by the way, we also have a variety of Japanese sweets!　We also have Dorayaki and other items.
I'm buying!

　And Mr. Noyn has taken a bite out of it, too!　
　Yeah, this is no good.................it's completely Alice's own game. But I'll buy it....I can't win.

　Dear Mom, Dad - what a reminder of how high Alice's specs are.................as well as a shiver. In fact, I wonder if Alice is actually an act in that grocery store, but really - she's got some business acumen, right?
