CH 11

I ate breakfast at Hungry Bear’s dining room today as well.

Barney’s cooking is delicious, but sometimes it’s just a little lacking in salt.

This is not Bernie’s fault, but simply because the salt in the other world is mixed with a lot of other ingredients and low quality.

“Bernie-san. This is my favorite rock salt, would you like to use it?”

Ginjiro gives him the rock salt with herbs that he used to use in his coffee shop.

Crazy salt, It’s famous among people who know it as the chef’s recommended.

Bernie shakes the crazy salt on the back of his hand and tastes it.

“Delicious”

“It’s my favorite. It goes well with many dishes, so please give it a try.”

There is no doubt that a good quality herbed rock salt will make Hungry Bear’s food even better.

Both Bernie and Clara are good people, and I wanted to support them because they have been so helpful to me.

I really wanted to give them pepper, but I heard that pepper is expensive in this world, so I chose something that they would readily accept.

“Ginjiro-san, aren’t you overdoing it?　You are our customer, so you don’t have to be concerned about it. But thank you so much. Ginjiro-san, is there anything you want to eat next time? I’m sorry that we keep receiving, so let me treat you to something.”

I don’t have many acquaintances in this world, so I feel comfortable with Bernie and Clara’s kindness.

“If you don’t mind, could you lend me your kitchen next time? There are times when I really want to cook.”

“Sure, anytime.”

Bernie looks at me while folding his log-like arms.

His arms looks like deadly weapons, but his words are gentle.

“I’m going to make a meat dish that was popular in my hometown. May I use ingredients available in this kitchen?”

Bernie unfolded his crossed arms and gave a thumbs up.

Clara asked me what kind of dish it was, so I explained it was a hamburger, but she said she didn’t know what hamburger is.

Anyway, they said they were looking forward to it, so I’ll do my best to make it tasty.

“It has been a while for me to cook this dish, so I’m looking forward to it too. After the meal, I’ll serve dessert with tea and honey.”

“Is that all right with you, Ginjiro-san? My husband loves honey, and I’m so happy to be able to drink that delicious tea again.”

Clara’s smile soothed me again today.

I leave the dining room after promising to make the food tomorrow at this time.

After lunch, I walk down the main street to Elvis’s store for a stroll. Elvis is not there and his mother is tending a customer.

Ginjiro greets her lightly with his eyes and looks around at the products in the store.

After a while, Elvis comes out from the back of the store.

“Ginjiro, what’s up?”

Greet each other with a light greeting, but the handsome man’s gestures are handsome in every way.

“I like this shirt and the tea party job went so well, so I thought I’d get another one made.”

Then Elvis, a wild handsome blonde in a shirt that was open at the chest, looked worried.

“If it’s Ginjiro, you can pay in installments separately. Custom-made using good fabrics is our selling point, so the price is high.”

I told Elvis, who smiled and crossed my shoulders, that there was no problem.

I had my measurements taken the other day, so I only order the white shirt.

Elvis said it was fine, but I didn’t want to worry him, so I paid the seven silver coins.

Although I have paid, Elvis keep glances over at me.

Though I’ve only been in this world for a short time, I know because I consider Elvis and I to be best friends.

This is his signal to get him out of here.

When I look ahead, I see that his mom is looking at me.

I kind of know this too.

It’s a look that says, “I’m not going to let my son get away.”

“May I borrow your son for a moment?”

The mother can’t say anything strong because I am actually the customer who bought the shirt.

But being a mother, she knows that her son is trying to skip work.

But Ginjiro has a secret plan.

He takes out a certain item from his item box.

“It is not much, but please accept this. It’s a popular sweet in my hometown.”

Elvis mother smiles when she hears the word “sweet”.

In any era and in any world, when it comes to sweet, it’s yokan (sweet bean jelly).

She said she could not accept the sweet because it was looked expensive, but her hand would not let go of the box of yokan.

Ginjiro pushed the box, saying, “Please accept it.”

Ginjiro and Elvis greeted Elvis’ mother, who was now in a good mood, and left the store.

“Thanks Ginjiro, you saved me.”

With that said, I walk down the street with Elvis in a good mood.

“Do you have someplace you want to go Ginjiro?”

I was asked that, but there was nothing in particular for Ginjiro to go.

“Not really. What about Elvis?”

I asked back, but Elvis said it was enough as long as he could skip his works.

It’s fun for us guys to do nothing, but it’ s no fun for me to see all the women passing by glancing at Elvis.

“What’s wrong, Ginjiro?”

I just said, “Nothing,” and walked on.

“Ginjiro, do you have tambourine?”

“Yes, I have tambourine. And maracas.”

I say so and take it out of the item box.

“Those magic bags sure come in handy.”

It is actually item box given by Ao, but Ginjiro is too lazy to explain it, so he just casually brushes it off.

Then, the handsome man walking next to me pulls my shoulders closer to his body .

“Let’s do something fun.”

With that, the handsome man took Ginjiro and went into the store in front of them.

AN: This crazy salt is my personal favorite rock salt. It changes the taste dramatically and I recommend it.
