chapter 45

Good evening, this is Ren . I woke up from my nap at dinnertime without oversleeping . Although I only slept for a bit, I felt a lot more refreshed . Plus I’m hungry!

Let’s move to the dining hall then~ Ah, right let’s put the hood back on . But when I arrived at the dining hall and looked around, it was full . Very full . Ah, but there was one vacant seat . It looks like Lily saved a seat for me . She was waving with a big smile on her face, how cute .

I walked up to Lily and gave a slight bow .

“Good evening, Lily . ”“Good evening, Ren . ”“Good evening!”

Eh, who?

“Ah, this child is Alisa . She also works here and her break time is the same as mine . So, I also invited her to join us…… . was it perhaps troublesome?”“No, I’m fine with that . Especially since Lily invited her . ”“Ah, yes . There won’t be any problems . She is a good child . ”“Okay . ”“Hey, what are you two whispering about?”“No, we’re not talking about anything . ”“That’s right, Alisa . ”“Ehh—”

I suppose she seems like an obedient child? The girl had light black twin-tails . Her height was quite short and her chest was moderate . I guess she looked like the cute type? She also had a slow manner of speech and looked quite spirited .

“Anyways, should we start eating now?”“Um, what are we having for today?”“Ah-……”

This inn usually prepared about two or three types of dishes, and customers would choose and eat what they liked . Although, it was basically just different types of soups, and slightly different salads, and such .

“Since there’s been an increase of customers due to the recipes that you made, the stuff being made is…… . ”“Ahh……”

So there was only that . What to say . That oil-drenched orc meat and…… . what was it called again? Well, never mind . In any case, it was troublesome that there was only that . I ended up being forced to go to the restroom multiple times during the night because of that . I didn’t want to deal with that again .

“Um, is there anything else?”“There is one other thing . That one was also made by Ren . ”

Huh? What would that be? It couldn’t possibly be the udon…… .

“So there’s something else? But I don’t remember making anything else?”“But you did? Don’t you remember? It’s the Sausage in Between Bread?”“Sausage in betw-…… . oh hotdogs . ”“So it’s called a hot dog?”“Yes . ”

Apparently, hot dogs didn’t exist in this world . There were sandwiches that had stuff like ham and such in between sliced bread . But the concept of just cutting open bread and stuffing things inside didn’t really exist . But with things like sandwiches in existence, you would think that someone would’ve also come up with something like that .

“I’ll go get it . ”“I’ll go with you too!”

So they left to go get it and soon returned back . They also brought one for me . Thanks .

“This is good, but since it’s so simple to make, it seems several other places have also started making it . ”“Since it’s just sandwiching things inside~ . ”“Ah……but this isn’t actually it’s completed state . ”“Eh!?”“Really!?”“Yes, it’s supposed to also have this and this . After adding these two sauces then it’s done . ”

I began explaining while taking out the mustard and ketchup from Storage . I completed these two when I was in the village in the south . Ketchup can basically be made using tomatoes and a few other seasonings, but for mustard, there are numerous other ingredients that made it more difficult to make .

Since there wasn’t any apple vinegar, I was thinking about using wine vinegar as a replacement, but my timing was bad . When I went to buy it, there wasn’t any vinegar left in stock . As for the tumeric…… . I bought it from a peddler in the south village who was about to give up on selling it since he couldn’t find anyone who wanted to buy it . Since I already knew that many spices and herbs were apparently treated as medicinal herbs, I had suggested to him that it would be better to visit stores and merchants who sold medicine .

“Like this……and we’re done . ”“Ohh…… . ”“So this is the true form…… . ”

They were overreacting a bit .

“Please enjoy it then?”“I-In that case . ”“Here I go . ”

I also started eating, nom nom . Yep, this combination of saltiness and umami was the best . Or, actually, there were other great tasting things too . I looked over at the other two and they had an expression of bliss on their faces . The two of them were gushing from the taste . To be honest, that kind of expression probably isn’t really appropriate for a young girl in public .

“What is this……”“Woah……”

In this world, there weren’t that many seasonings or sauces . So it couldn’t be helped that it was like this . Or perhaps it just didn’t exist in commoner cuisine, but it might exist in noble cuisine? Hmm, I would like to try eating it .

“Would you like some more?”“Yes, please!”“Me too!”

Hahaha, so you two really did want more .

For me, I was full after eating one and having some soup and salad . But those two ended up eating three times as much as me . The gazes around me were also so painful that I hurriedly put away the ketchup and mustard . Some people looked like they wanted to steal it .

“Haaaaa…… . ”“Fwaaaa…… . ”

The two of them were still entrenched in bliss, and sure enough, the surrounding people were trying to talk to me, so I quickly made my escape .

“Well then, I’ll be heading back to my room . ”“Fwaa…… . . ”“Good night…… . ”

“Ah, wait a minute……”

It looks like a person nearby called out to me, but I pretended not to notice . I’m sorry for the trouble . Bye-bye .

Afterward, I went to bed after taking a bath . I wonder if there will be an uproar tomorrow? I was very sleepy but I still couldn’t help worrying about it . Good night~
