Chapter 198: You can rip them off for longer if instead of bringing everything at once you tease things bit by bit.
Day 56: Nighttime, White Weirdo Inn.
Angelica-san is smiling with a very delighted look on her face. This must have been worrying her all this time.
It seems that when she came back to the inn, Haruka-kun was sleeping in the room, which I think is only expected after spending a whole night building a village But in any case, he was sleeping.
He never slept or slept very restlessly. If he had nothing to do late at night he'd just sit, pondering on something with a vacant gaze, and if he did fall asleep he'd seem like he is having nightmares.
However, this time he was soundly asleep.
Going to that destroyed village he built a new one, made a grave, and was thanked by the villagers.
Then, Haruka-kun, who was so afraid of gratitude, appeared a bit more mature this morning. Instead of the usual forced smile, he looked somewhat sad even, but his expression looked more genuine.
But it didn't seem to be due to a resignation or getting over it. But more like he reached some sort of compromise in his heart. That's why he might've appeared a bit sorrowful, but is properly looking forward.
I didn't see Haruka-kun like that in a long time, and he also appeared a bit more grown-up.Th. most uptod/at nvels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m
Well, he is actually dashing up the stairs to adulthood every night at quite a speed, skipping 500 steps at once, long since passing the stratosphere.
Even so, smiling naturally, Haruka-kun appeared just a little bit more mature.
All this time, the girls were envious of the boys. Whenever they were doing something stupid on their own like some kids, or secretly having guilty conversations like schoolboys, or when he was shouting at the boys, such times, when he was appearing lively and emotional made us a bit envious.
When everyone was throwing tantrums with extra orders or whatever, he'd always sayThat's tyranny! Oppression!, but looked a little happy anyway. Only at such times, he would acknowledge his worth, only at such times, we'd see him smile.
And then, this morning, he suddenly was smiling naturally, going I'm back, with a bit more mature feel to his expression, making everyone's hearts skip a beat. It was a surprise, but a pleasant one.
Because it's been that long since we last saw that.
Because we didn't see it in such a long, long time.
Even Angelica-san, who was with him all the time, looked overjoyed.
That was probably the first time she saw his sleeping face, she didn't have such a chance until now.
We want to see his sleeping face!
No way! He was finally able to fall asleep. Absolutely no way!
Although he is going down the stairs with a vacant look on his face, he is manipulating mana that he already has wrapped around him, complete battle readiness!
Thus, a tonkatsu feast has started.
Tonkatsu, which were prepared beforehand, are spinning through the air around Haruka-kun, drawing a combination of several complex spiral trajectories, making a sizzling sound, fried one after another, as the girls' stomachs also make a grumbling sound, waiting for them to be done.
Then, they are put on top of the flying plates, that one after another are pulled from the item bag, and then joined there by the cabbage, that was finely cut with ultra-high-speed wire cutter by evil hands, and then with the sauce added, they gracefully glide through the air onto the tables.
Then, they are closely followed by bowls of freshly cooked rice with steam rising from them. Moreover, even mushroom soup is accompanying them, gliding through the air after them!
If the time was properly measured, it probably would turn out that it didn't take even 3 minutes, but those sounds and smells were extremely delicious on their own. Since it felt delicious even before we tried it, the time we spent waiting felt like an eternity!
Unable to get our hands on those, all we could do is wait, which made it all feel even longer. After all, who can resist tonkatsu making such alluring sounds?
Here we go~, bon appetit~? There are additional servings too~? But they come at the usual marvelous rip-off price, a special offer at 800 ere, available only now~!
Let's dig in!
Pre-order for a second helping!
The room is filled with happiness and the sounds of chewing and munching. Another memory that we considered all but lost came back, he must have no intention of losing anything at all, be it another world or whatever, he intends to get it all back.
This is definitely impossible, but he is trying to get back as many things as he can. Doesn't that make him the greediest one here? After all, he is refusing to give up on anything.
While we lost everything, being dragged into this world, today, we regained another thing. Re:Tonkatsu in another world was Justice.
Kakizaki-san and others went to get another helping with tonkatsu in their mouths, and are getting scolded by Haruka-kun. The girls are also busy with confirming the remaining stock with sidelong glances. We can't eat Haruka-kun's share again!
Or he will start another rip-off festival, leaving us without a penny. And leave some for me too? I can easily go for 3 more portions!
Oh no! It was a trap, why does grated daikon come out after I already had 2 additional helpings?! Moreover, he is charging extra for it! So evil, but I want it anyway!
Why are there desserts too?! And why out of all things did it have to be several types of fruit mousses?! It's my favorite! There is no girl that doesn't like it.
And for him to pull it out after tonkatsu Moreover, there are 4 different kinds
And after we are done with the meal we have training before the bath! Practice and exercise! The total amount of calories must be insane! Lets enlist to Captain Angelica's bootcamp.
One More Set?
