A small meeting room in the Royal Castle of the Demon Kingdom.
"Um..."
"Hah..."
Vieira and Mia are sitting at their desks wearing tired faces.
"... yeah, it looks like the family discussion went well."
Valeri confirms their expression before saying so.
“What was the next agenda?”
Takeo asks everyone.
I asked Lord Valeri, Lord Kitamizato, and Vieira, what is rice?
Gloria asks the two of them.
Takeo and Valeri turned to the day after tomorrow.
It's said that everything is delicious on the mezzanine?
"Ahh... there's a word for it."
Everyone feels that rice alone is delicious.
Maybe, but didn't Vieira say it was delicious to eat with rice? "
"One way or another... it's a substitute for bread."
I like individual preferences. "
Valeri and Takeshi make modest remarks.
"I told you Vieira was delicious, but... that's not true?"
"There are overwhelming numbers of dishes that suit rice, and there are also new ones that suit bread.
By the way, it's a grain that is barely eaten in the demon kingdom.
It is produced in a very small part of the country, but even the producers are not able to eat it at all.
Therefore, it is not distributed in Japan, and you can not get it even if you inquire with an inquirer. "
Valeri raises her hand and says:
“How did you get that grain?”
Gloria asks Takeo.
"It just so happens."
Now that I know where I'm making it, I just contacted the producer, bought it, and ate it.
Well, I heard that the production is low, and I heard about the method of cooking in the Demon Kingdom (here).
I just cooked something completely different.
It just so happens that it was delicious for Vieira. ”
That means Lord Kitamizato also bought it from the Demon Kingdom?
Gloria asked again after listening to Takeshi.
"Yes, it's a grain not made in the Kingdom of Azpar."
You bought it from the Demon Kingdom.
So I'm personally enjoying it.
I only serve it to people as close as Biella and Mia, and it takes me a day to cook, so I can't make it often. ”
"Hmm... Lord Valeri, Lord Kitamizato, if you say you want to eat it, can you eat it?"
"It's impossible in the demon kingdom right now."
The method of preparation is almost only known to some producers and to Lord Kitamizato. ”
Valerie responds quickly to Gloria's inquiry.
Where's Master Kita Mizato?
"You can cook with imported rice, so you can make it.
However, since we move a lot of people in the first place, we will incur costs.
In addition, it can be cooked in small quantities at a time, so it is basically the only way to make it for the human form.
Also, I can't respond to requests such as "Please let me eat right away because I'm here."
You have to make a reservation in advance and make sure that everyone can prepare it.
It's annoying to be able to come in a dragon state.
Even Vieira knows very little about being a dragon.
Takeshi says:
"Hmm... you have a lot of conditions."
Lord Valeri, is it possible to serve it in the Imperial Castle? "
"As I said earlier, this is impossible under the current circumstances.
Production is extremely low, and almost all of them are bought by Kitamizato.
It's impossible to get it right now, so it's normal to think that if you're not good enough, you'll get it in the Royal Castle in a few years.
In the first place, you say you have to crush a day to eat rice, but even Kitamizato-sama who invented it in the first place has a day.
If we're going to eat it, we might need more time, and we don't have the equipment to prepare it.
First of all, we must ask Lord Kitamizato to make it for us, and we cannot promise that we will be able to faithfully make something that Lord Kitamizato has made and that Biella is delicious, even if we are unfamiliar with it.
Besides, I have decided to leave office.
I don't want to poke my neck into the food situation of the Imperial Castle. "
Valeri tells Gloria.
"Hmm... I don't want you two to eat it."
Gloria said troubled.
"... of course, right?
In the first place, cooking is sometimes too laborious...
Hah... just think about it. The fact that only a small amount is made means that the grain is unpleasant in the production area.
If you tell the producer that it will be delicious when it is cooked, do you think it will be exported outside the country? "
Valeri said while giving up.
... I see, are you letting the cooking method be secretly exported to the production area?
Then there are tough things in it that increase production. "
"Now, Lord Kitamizato of the Azpar Kingdom is personally buying."
According to the lord, "the human species is happy to eat such an unpleasant thing", so it is sold in full at a fairly low price.
Even though I was shocked to hear "What are you talking about?" from Kitamizato-sama, I could buy it at a low price, so I bought it quietly without saying anything in particular.
That's the situation.
What do you think will happen if our royal castle buys here? "
"... I might take it as an implication that this grain of rice is delicious..."
Gloria nodded to Valeri's words.
"Well... I think if Lord Kitamizato works hard to increase the export volume, our royal castle will be able to get a little and find out that it is delicious to the producers... but I can't do anything right now."
So no matter how many dragons I say, I don't want you to force me.
Well... please wait a little longer. "
"... isn't Lord Valeri too sweet for Lord Kitamizato?"
"Hmmm... that's right.
I'm a human from another country, but Lord Kitamizato has helped me a lot.
He began exporting specialty products in the kingdom of Azpal (Mukoro), while rejecting the information on slavery so far and responding to this emergency import.
I'm glad you sent me something unusual again.
That's why I decided to sweeten the food for Lord Kitamizato.
I'd love to hang out with you again in the future.
It's nothing in particular. ”
Valeri was going to say it out loud.
