150 141 - Mitoashi dumplings

When the circus is over, we go outside the venue.

"Ah... it's already this time. It was in no time!"

And Cecily said, looking up at the clock tower sitting in the middle of the── central square.

“It's true, the good times will soon pass.”

This clock tower seems to have existed since long ago, when Lynchghi Ham was founded as a nation.

It is now a tourist attraction in the city, and people continue to love it.

Due to aging, it was scheduled to be demolished several times, but... each time, the opposite voice was loud and the repair work was repeated.

Along with the history of Lynchgi ham, this clock tower was also timeless. When I thought about it, I understood why I was cherished by the people of the city.

Are you leaving today?

"That's right... it's still noon, and you won't be able to leave like this." Do you shop and eat? Let's have a lot of fun, Cecily-chan! "

Yeah!

Cecilie smiled.

──Then we headed for the city market.

"Ah, onee-chan! That dumpling looks so delicious!"

Cecilie's eyes are taken away by the dumplings stuck in the skewer.

"Hello, are you two sisters?"

The storekeeper calls out to her like that.

"Onee-chan is an onee-chan!"

I don't think I have an answer... but Cecilie answers cheerfully.

Looking at such an innocent girl, the clerk's eyes dropped.

"That's right. Then... excuse me, little lady, but this is a service! Look, that beautiful sister of yours! Take it with you."

Is that okay?

"Yeah, I'd rather use it for such a cheap price."

“Thank you, and I'll thank you too, Cecilie.”

Yeah! Thank you!

The eyes of the person in the store are dripping even more sloppily.

Fufu, if you put Cecily-chan's cuteness in front of you, you can't help but get a face like this.

I get two dumplings and hand one to Cecily-chan.

Soon Cecilie mouths the dumplings,

"Yummy!"

and made my eyes shine.

I'll keep eating dumplings. The sweetness quickly spread into my mouth.

"It's really delicious... but I haven't seen much sauce before?" What is this? "

"That sauce is called 'Mitarashi'." It originated in the eastern country and is made with a mixture of soy sauce and sugar. Sweetness is a habit, isn't it? "

Yeah.

I replied with a smile.

Is it the Mitarashi dumplings or something like that?

When I heard that the Eastern land......, I remembered the chilled noodles and shaved ice that Philip the Spirit King had made for me.

It was also a dish commonly eaten in Eastern countries. There are still many dishes there that I don't know.

"I'd like to go on a trip with Nigel someday."

I dreamt about it and murmured.

"Eliane, do you really want to go on a trip?"

Yes, of course.

Speaking of which, I'm not going on a honeymoon with Nigel.

When I got married, the throne inheritance went into full swing, and I got bummed out.

Of course, Cecily-chan will be with you at that time.

"It's not just Cecily!" Douglas and Abby, Otto and...... Ralph are coming with us! "

“Great, let's all go on a fun honeymoon!”

Is that really what you call a honeymoon?

But... it sounds like fun. I can imagine it, and I'm thrilled.

"Like the dumplings here, there may be something delicious." Even if I like to cook once, I would like to go to the Eastern country once. ”

"Thanks for saying it's delicious." If you'd come a little earlier, I could have served more delicious mirabara dumplings..... "

"...? What do you mean?"

I ask the clerk who casts a shadow on his expression.

"As a matter of fact... the sauce that had been inherited from the ancestors had disappeared a few days ago." Because of this, I'm now using something I made from scratch... but I haven't completely reproduced the sauce of my predecessors. "

"Was that so?" But why is it suddenly gone? "

Because it was selling better than I ever imagined?

But it's hard to imagine that you'll run out of your precious sauce for that reason... "

When I wondered, the clerk shook his head from side to side and said:

"I don't know... I woke up in the morning and the sauce disappeared like smoke from the barrel." I thought it might have been stolen by someone else... but in that case, it's odd that only the barrels are left and only the sauce is gone. Of course, I've talked to the vigilante, but what's going to happen..... "

"I'm worried about that..."

Imagining the feelings of the clerk, my chest also hurts so much that it can be tightened.

With that in mind,

"Oh, don't worry!" I'm sure this is' You can recreate the sauce of your ancestors! 'It may have been a message from God. If you're soaked all the time, you won't be able to feel it! "

The clerk is dressed up, but the voice still seems to have no tension.

I hope you find it soon──.

A little unaware, we left the store.
