Chapter 45: Delicious Food Is the Devil''s Work.


    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 Im hungry!


    Lets move to the dining hall then~ Ah, right lets 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 Arisa. 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, Im fine with that. Especially since Lily invited her. Ah, yes. There wont be any problems. She is a good child. Okay. Hey, what are you two whispering about? No, were not talking about anything. Thats right, Arisa. Ehh


    I suppose she seems like an obedient child? The girl had light ck 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 sds, and such.


    Since theres 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 didnt 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 couldnt possibly be the udon.


    So theres something else? But I dont remember making anything else? But you did? Dont you remember? Its the Sausage in Between Bread? Sausage in betw-.oh hotdogs. So its called a hot dog? Yes.


    Apparently, hot dogs didnt 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 didnt really exist. But with things like sandwiches in existence, you would think that someone wouldve alsoe up with something like that.


    Ill go get it. Ill 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 its so simple to make, it seems several other ces have also started making it. Since its just sandwiching things inside~. Ahbut this isnt actually itspleted state. Eh!? Really!? Yes, its supposed to also have this and this. After adding these two sauces then its done.


    I began exining while taking out the mustard and ketchup from Storage. Ipleted these two when I was in the vige 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 wasnt any apple vinegar, I was thinking about using wine vinegar as a recement, but my timing was bad. When I went to buy it, there wasnt any vinegar left in stock. As for the tumeric.I bought it from a peddler in the south vige who was about to give up on selling it since he couldnt 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 thisand were 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, <em>nom nom.</em> Yep, thisbination 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 isnt really appropriate for a young girl in public.


    What is this Woah


    In this world, there werent that many seasonings or sauces. So it couldnt be helped that it was like this. Or perhaps it just didnt exist inmoner 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 sd. 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, Ill 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. Im 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 couldnt help worrying about it. Good night~
