TENKEN 678 The Girl and a Woman

「Here you go! This is the original curry soup!」

「Meat-filled curry soup! 200 Goldes per bowl!」

「It’s delicious!」

At the last day of the cooking contest. There was a tremendous line in front of the Black Tail stall.

There are probably more than 300 people lined up right now.

『I’m surprised it’s selling at this price』

(It was delicious after all!)

200 Goldes for a bowl of soup is a very expensive price. It was the price of a night’s stay at a cheap inn. Io-san’s soup is usually sold at 10 Goldes, but we sold our’s at 20 times her price.

It is still not very profitable even at this price though. After all, we had used all the spices and ingredients we needed through the cooking guild. We also spent a lot of money just making the prototypes.

Using magical vegetables and ingredients that are usually only known through books as knowledge, the result was a price of 200 Goldes per bowl.Điscover new chapters at novelhall.com

I had a lot of magic beast’s meat in my storage, so the meat part was practically free. If we had to purchase the magic beast’s meat as well, we might have to set a price of 300 Goldes per bowl.

I hoped that it would still sell well, but it actually turned out to be a bigger success than I had imagined.

A sign that says "The Original Curry Stall", the massive advertising by the cooking guild, Io’s reputation, and the merchant’s and adventurer’s network.

All of these factors combined to create a crowd that far exceeded our expectations. The line was so long that we had to immediately hire more sales staff and increase the number of cash registers.

And yet, the line was still this long.

「Uu~, the line won’t end...」

「It’s even worse than last time」

The three adventurers who were manning the sales counter have given up on her completely.

The woman gazed at the three members of the Scarlet Maidens as if she was trying to put a value on them. She shifted her gaze to Lydia, Maia, and Judith, and quickly lost interest in them.

She then looked at Fran next.

「...」

「...」

Uwaah―, what’s with this woman. She reminded me of the first time we met the Beast King for a moment. The intimidation in the woman’s eyes was so fierce. I would even call it ferocious.

She must be considerably strong. If it had only been a resemblance in presence, she reminded me of Mea.

But the fact that I subconsciously remembered the Beast King meant that I sensed a great deal of danger from this woman.

Fran stares back at the woman in reply to her gaze.

It’s not that they are slamming each other with intimidation. But the problem was that the atmosphere of check and balance created by the two, who were both trying to put a value on each other, was intimidating enough for the average person.

It was probably only for a moment that the two of them made eye contact. But a strange commotion immediately rises. Some of the customers rushed to the counter for no apparent reason, while others suddenly felt a chill and raised their voices. But I guess they can’t help but unwittingly open their mouths and make some kind of noise.

I don’t think most of them knew what had happened, but their instincts told them that this place was dangerous.

The adventurers, who are one of the few people who understand the situation, are the opposite. They can only remain silent in the face of Fran and the woman’s strength.

It was only for those few seconds that something strange happened.

「...」

The woman then took the curry and walked away from the stall. Both Fran and the woman just casually checked each other out like Yankees checking each other with guns as they passed each other.

In the first place, if the two had really tried to intimidate each other, there would have been a panic here.

『...What’s with that woman? Is she an adventurer?』

(She’s strong)

『Well, yeah』

Maybe I should ask someone for information about her later. I’m pretty sure she’s a famous adventurer.
