“Harry, Edel, good morning. Sorry, I overslept.”

Ginjiro apologizes to the two men who have come to his room, and hands them blocks of ice.

Today, too, they deliver a chilled fruit platter to the Mainz Cathedral.

“My magic bag melts the ice and doesn’t fit much inside. Hurry up, Edel.”

Harry and Edel left in a hurry.

I thought about taking another nap, but I decided to go to Mainz’s house and take a bath after breakfast.

I washed my face at the well in the garden and headed to the dining area.

“Good morning, Ginjiro-chan. Can I talk to you for a moment?”

What is it? I sit down at my usual seat.

“Meyer, who runs a restaurant over there, came in yesterday and said he wanted to serve hamburgers at his restaurant as well. He asked me to teach him how to make them, which I thought I should ask Ginjiro-chan if we could teach him.”

Hamburgers are popular at Hungry Bear.

It seems some people ask if hamburgers are available at his restaurant, and since he was good friends with Bernie, he ask Barnie if he could teach him how to make it.

“If it’s okay with Bernie-san and Clara-san, I’m fine. Will Bernie-san teach him?　Or would you like me to teach him?”

He wants me to teach him if possible, so I tell him to let me know when he has a date in mind.

Returning to my room, I search the Net store for something that could be used as a ticket for a ballroom dance recital.

I found some wedding invitations with ticket stubs, so I ordered 200 of them.

The invitations, featuring a castle, a full moon, a glass slipper, and a woman in a dress, were perfect for a ballroom dance recital.

With my ticket ready, I went to the commercial guild first.

When I entered the guild, the receptionist girl immediately called Milia.

“I’m sorry to come on such short notice, but now that the tickets are ready, can you come with me to Rachel’s?”

“No problem. I will get ready first, please wait a little while.”

It was a sudden offer, but I was glad.

In the end, that girl came along with us, and the three of us headed to Rachel’s dance hall.

“Rachel-san, thank you so much for the other day. I just got the tickets for the ballroom dance recital, do you have a minute?”

“Of course. Please come in.”

Rachel-san brewed me a cup of tea with peppermint, the same as the first time I met her.

How delicious this is, I don’t know.

Ginjiro takes a sip of tea and then talks about the tickets.

“Here is the ticket for the ballroom dance recital.”

I hand over 100 tickets to Rachel-san and Milia.

The price is two silver coins.

I am sorry, but I will take half of the sales for the cost of the tickets, food and drink, which is one silver coin.

If Rachel-san’s ticket is sold for two silver coins, one silver coin for me and one silver coin for Rachel-san.

Rachel-san said she didn’t want the money, but as a customer, paying a little money would make her feel special.

I told her that she should use the money she made for the operation of the dance hall, and she agreed.

The commercial guild also agreed to the same conditions, though they also promised to have some guild member at the entrance desk on the day of the event.

Since this event was the first attempt, this event was settled in a way that they could learn how to manage any problems that might arise.

Incidentally, the woman in the dress on the ticket looks like Rachel when she was young.

She asked me how I was able to make a ticket with her picture on it in such a short period of time, so I just smiled amiably to cover it up.

I was also asked about the glass slipper, but again I responded with an amiable smile.

After delivering the ballroom dance recital tickets, Ginjiro parted ways with Milia and the others and headed to the Mainz family.

—

“Hello. Could you please call the butler, Sebastian-san?”

I asked the gatekeeper, who had already become familiar with me, to call Sebastian.

After a while, Sebastian came to pick me up at the gate in a carriage, and I gave the gatekeeper some salt candy as a thank-you.

“It’s hot again today, so please take plenty of water and salt.”

First, we head to the kitchen for coffee time.

Today I’ll have Kilimanjaro, the king of coffee.

The switch suddenly turned on, but that’s what I’m in the mood for today.

“Let’s start by grinding the coffee beans.”

I put the Kilimanjaro beans in the manual coffee grinder and ask Sebastian to grind them for me.

“I enjoy this time as well.”

Sebastian really likes coffee.

He takes out the ground coffee beans and smells the aroma.

“Freshly ground coffee has a strong aroma.”

“That’s right. Would you like to try brewing this coffee?”

Sebastian’s love of coffee is real.

Ginjiro’s theory is that the best coffee in the world is the one brewed just for you.

Of course, coffee made with the finest ingredients and with the least amount of waste is also delicious.

I don’t deny that.

Also, climbing a mountain and drinking coffee at the top while feeling a wonderful view and a sense of accomplishment would be delicious.

I don’t deny it either.

Ginjiro used to run a coffee shop, so he is the one who brews coffee.

That is why he thinks that coffee brewed for oneself tastes the best.

Even if it is instant coffee, there is a big difference if the coffee is made with or without the person’s thoughts and feelings.

I wanted to drink coffee made by Sebastian, my coffee buddy and benefactor who helped me when I came to another world.

Put the coffee powder in a paper filter and have it flattened evenly.

Pour in a little bit of hot water that has been set aside after it boils, and have the coffee steamed.

“It looks like some kind of ritual.”

I know what Sebastian is talking about.

Sebastian laughed when I told him that telling the beans to be delicious out loud would make them tastier.

After that, pour hot water in three times and let it drip.

“Here you go, Ginjiro-sama.”

“Thank you Sebastian-san”

Today, it was more blissful than usual for the two of them.
