CH 78

Garsh ordered something from his aides, saying, “It is also the job of the Taishou to entertain guests.”

And we are brought to a nearby restaurant by the guidance of Garsh and others. It’s an Izakaya-like restaurant with the scent of the rocky shore.

“Before talking about business, let’s start with drinks!”

Garsh said so and guided them to a large, sturdy table. The inside of the store was reserved.

There were twelve people including me on the Demon King side. There was only Garsh on the Beruza side.

You can sit on a table full of monsters like this and stay calm. The bodyguards were all pale.

In the meantime, the food was brought in.

“I don’t know if it fits my taste because it’s all harvested in the sea.”

Garsh refused, but it looked really good to me.

It was a nostalgic seafood.

Shrimp and mushrooms stewed in oil, stir-fried scallops, fish stewed in vegetables ……. It’s very similar to what I saw in my previous life, and they all look so good.

“The little difficult negotiations will come later. Let the messenger eat delicious food! Then the difficult business will work!”

“It makes sense”

While drinking shrimp soup with plenty of garlic, I gave up/started indulging myself after hearing Garsh’s words. The taste is somehow Mediterranean.

All the members other than Mao were new to seafood.

They seemed  to be afraid to eat it while looking at each other.

“Hey Vaito, there’s something like a bug …”

“Shrimp, shrimp. Eat because it tastes good.”

“Mr. Vaito, what are these grains?”

“I don’t know the type, but I think it’s fish eggs.”

Why do you guys ask me?

I’m now dazzled by the seafood that I ate for the first time in my reincarnation. Will you leave me alone?

Oh, I’m glad I was a werewolf.

Thanks to the bottomless stomach, you can eat as much as you want.

I’ve already started eating instead of negotiating, but Garsh started laughing when he saw me.

“Wow! Do werewolves eat so much!”

“Oh, there’s still a long way to go. Let me eat more, it’s delicious.”

“Ha ha ha! How is it? Is Beruza’s food quite good?”

“It’s an elite lineup”

I ate fried white fish and poured it in with citrus juice.

“It’s the first time I’ve eaten such a delicious fish, give me more.”

“Oh, here, eat it!”

Then the chef came from the kitchen and spoke to Garsh with a troubled face.

Garsh sighed.

“I don’t have any food anymore? The customers aren’t full yet.”

“I’m sorry, the boss. I have a lot of fish, but I can’t keep up with the cooking.”

Because there are nine werewolves. Even with the relatively small appetite of Monza, had just finished eating roasted chicken by himself.

Platters are piled up around the Gurney brothers like conveyor belt sushi, and it would be impossible to cook at this pace.

Looking at the embarrassed chef’s face, Garsh smiled.

“Unlike us, we can’t let you eat it raw. Will you wait for a while?”

As he spoke,  I noticed all the fish dishes on the counter are well-heated. Moreover, vegetables and spices are used to eliminate the shore odor.

Also, there are many ingredients that are familiar to Rune Height, such as potatoes, chicken, and cheese.

We’re from the inland, so they took care of us.

But wait a minute. “Unlike us” means that they have a habit of eating raw fish, right?

“Hey, Garsh”

“Yes?”

Garsh turned around, so I asked the question.

“Do you eat raw fish?”

Then Garsh grinned.

“Oh, I eat it a lot. It’s best to handle freshly caught fish and eat it raw.”

I know it well.

I know it’s better to let some fish lie down a little, but it’s probably not known in a world without a refrigerator.

But now I don’t care about that, I wanted to eat sashimi.

“I’m sorry, can you let me have some?”

“Well,you’re pretty brave.”

Garsh told the chef that he has a fearless smile.

“Great”

“Is that ok?”

“Well, if it’s impossible, we’ll eat it. Come on, don’t keep the customers waiting.”

After the chef returned to the kitchen, Garsh was looking at me with a grin. It looks like he’s waiting for me to whine.

They probably thought it was a prank and I wouldn’t eat it.

Shortly after, a platter was brought in front of me.

“Assorted fresh fish”

It looked more like Carpaccio than Sashimi. Dressing was attached to a separate plate. I don’t know what kind of fish it is, but it looked like a white fish.

When I suddenly noticed, the line of sight from the surroundings was amazing. Both the Beruza people and the Demon Kings Army were curiously staring at me and the platter.

“Hey Vaito … Isn’t it just cutting raw fish?”

As Gurney said, don’t lose your appetite.

“Do people in the south eat this? Wouldn’t it upset your stomach?”

Rashi seemed to be on the verge of speaking out of turn if I left her alone, so I silently stopped her. Criticism of food culture is taboo.

In front of me is Garsh with a grinning face. The escorts and aides behind me also seemed to be waiting for what I would do.

Even though I am going to eat sashimi for the first time in a long time, it’s hard to eat …

I put a little dressing on the sashimi of white fish and carried it to my mouth with a fork.

This feeling is similar to sea bream. Light night and easy to eat.

Oh, but it’s really good! I’m glad I was reincarnated!

“Captain, are you okay?”

I was worried about Monza … Rather, I looked into it with curiosity, so I nodded while eating.

“good”

“Aren’t you overdoing it?”

“Nope, it’s good”

It’s okay, so let me eat silently.

Garsh looked at me stunned, but now I don’t care about that.

But it tastes a bit unsatisfactory, like this carpaccio. The dressing tastes too light.

After all, sashimi usually has soy sauce.

I searched my pockets and took out the pottery bottle I had hidden.

It’s bad for the chef who made it, but I really want to eat sashimi here.

That’s why I came all the way with soy sauce.

But at that moment, Garsh sharply gazed at it.

“Wait, what’s that?”

Immediately, the escorts behind him were ready. Everyone had a curved sword or a dagger in their hand.

In response, the werewolves stood up silently.

Was I a little careless? I was blinded by the sashimi and failed.

“Everyone calm down. This is just a seasoning. I want to give this dish a little try.”

I opened the bottle and dripped the black liquid on a small plate.

Everyone seems to have calmed down a little because of my word, but glancing around, the atmosphere had a different aura than before.

I scooped a piece of sashimi with a fork and put a little seasoning on the edge of the sashimi.

And carried it to my mouth.

Oh, this is … this is it. Well, this is it.

I can only say “this is it”.

I’m glad to be alive.

Everyone was looking uncomfortable at me being drowned in emotions.

Somehow very awkward.

What am I doing when I come to the negotiations but start to receive entertainment?

I regret it a little, but I can’t stop eating.

“Sorry, could you give me another plate without this dressing?”

“Oh, oh … of course.”

Garsh asked me, comparing me with the seasonings over and over again, “It’s a sauce I’ve never seen. What is it?”

“It’s a seasoning made by fermenting beans. At Rune Height, it’s sweetened and used as a sauce for Kushiyaki.”

“Why put it on fresh fish?”

I can only say “because I’m Japanese”, but how should I make a proper reason?

“This eliminates the smell of meat and enhances the taste. I think it goes well with fish.”

“Can I taste it?”

“Oh, please”

Garsh took a small amount of the seasoning with a silver spoon and smelled it carefully. Then he dropped a drop on his palm and licked it.

Garsh nods and opens his mouth many times as the escorts looked at him anxiously.

“Sell this to me. This will make good money.”

Before I could say anything, Mao slipped in.

“Garsh, would you like to develop a purchasing route?”

“Oh. I want to put this in all the stores. It can be mixed with dressing, and it looks good for simmering and grilling with salt.”

“Let’s make arrangements”

It looks like they were having a business talk over there, and I’ll enjoy the sashimi for a while.

However, after that is done, I also want wasabi.

Should I look for it next time?
