The Crimson Rooster was located twty metres to the south of the tailors, with quite a rustic look. The facade of the building was clad with thick red-coloured timbers while a small stone pathway led up to the main doors, which were a large painted sign with the name on it in the same crimson shade as the timbers.
However, it seemed quite popular, with the first floor completely packed, while the second floor seemed empty; the momt Ryuji and his party approached the door, a beautiful woman in a red rooster outfit, ev a small feathered tail poking from her buttocks made it look amusing, greeted them.
"Welcome to the Crimson rooster!" She said cheerfully while adjusting her large breastplate. "I am Roostina; may I ask if you have booked a table or are members of the advturer's guild?" She questioned with a smile, ev wh she eyed Yumiko's fluffy ears.
It was th that Liana stepped forward and took out a strange crimson plate; the momt Roostina saw it, she gasped. "Oh my, a VVIP! Welcome, dear customer and patron! Please follow me to your special box on the second floor!"
Eh? What's going on!? Ryuji felt confused as they were guided through the busy first floor filled with noise and people joying their meals. The second floor suddly cut off all sound, like magic was blocking the other floor from affecting their meals. There were only one or two people who ate in their small cubicles, but at the ctre, a huge red room appeared.
That seemed to be Liana's private dining room!
"Is this alright? You have not brought anyone in a long time, Your Highness..." Roostina looked concerned for her mistress.
"No worries, today is a special occasion. Firstly, I need a bottle of the 34-year-old Azure Divine Dew wine, with a double helping of my usual. The man is an important guest of mine, so please make a copy of my plate for him." Liana whispered to Roostina.
While Ryuji and Yumiko joyed the feeling of a rather strange chick restaurant, it also had a feeling of home for them. To see the fried chick and modern style of service and food. They couldn't help but feel the influce of the kingdom, summoning people from their world.
This feeling caused Yumiko to feel confused because she had visited nowhere like this in her memory. Yet everything came as second nature to her as she prepared the dipping sauces and various condimts as if they were her favourites.
"Yumiko, it feels so relaxing here."
"Damn... Why couldn't you have summoned me with a knowledge skill or something." Ryuji thought deeply, wanting to know what they did, or ev better if he could create chick like this, would he need to eat the horrible rations tak to the dungeon?!
"Ryuji, why are you drooling so much? Here, have more gravy." Yumiko smiled as she poured the rich sauce over his bowl.
"Ah, thanks... I just wonder if I can cook like this wh I go to the dungeon?"
"The dungeon is a harsh place filled with many dangers; you should be focused on survival, not on food." Liana sighed and couldn't believe how much of a simpleton this hero was. Yet, his words and sincere eyes made her feel a tight ssation in her chest, wanting to fulfil his desire ev if it was impossible.
"Hmm, I agree with Liana." Yumiko felt the same, but the feeling of eating this food in the dungeon also made her hopeful. "Ryuji, let's have Ryo learn how to make it!"
"Ah, I'm sorry... It was a silly request." Ryuji didn't mean to trouble or upset his party members, so he shook his head in embarrassmt.
"No, no... he is a cook, right? Th wouldn't it be ev tastier than this because of Heroes getting a slight befit over the natives?" Liana spoke without realising how these words sounded, but the momt Yumiko heard it, she couldn't help but feel depressed and hug Ryuji.
"We have a goal! No more nasty rations in the dungeon or dried meat that tastes of the stale bag!" Yumiko announced while waving her chick leg as if she had a sword in her hand, a resolute expression on her face.
With their grand design to have fried chick during dungeon dives, Ryuji and Yumiko finally calmed down, and the meal soon reached its climax.
The meat was so tder and juicy that it almost fell apart in their mouths. It was so tder it needed no knife to slice, and Ryuji ev wondered what it was but refrained from asking after learning it was a monster.
"Now that we've eat, I would like to go to the guild and th see what kind of things the artisans have for sale," Ryuji added, cleaning his teeth with a wood pick and eating the strange hard candy mint to cleanse his mouth.
