Chapter 117 Exciting Vacation 5?
Part 1
“It was very...... Delicious......”
Said Tino with a happy beaming smile. The chocolate parfait was even more wonderful than what I had heard.
Filled inside the thirty centimeters glass container was ice cream, chocolate and crispy cookies, added with a generous helping of fresh cream and sauce on top. The top of the bowl was decorated with a chocolate crown, with it you could feel the majesty of this parfait.
As it was a place where chocolate was artisanally produced, the quality of it was certain, but more than anything else, the quantity of it was tremendous. I am sure that if Liz and Sytry saw it, they would have frowned.
But what made the taste exceptional was the information that Tino had overheards from the Hunters outside, the information that the Orcs had gone somewhere.
When you are worried, no matter how sweet the food you eat is, you cannot enjoy its taste.
I don’t know what caused its disappearance, but I feel that I am lucky that the trouble went somewhere else. It was proof that if I can control my childhood friends, I wouldn’t have to deal with the trouble. Not bad...... Me!
Tino was smiling, I was smiling, everything was going well.
I was in a mood to jump around but as I am a badass, I just quietly smile. I don’t wanna puke!
However...... This is a little bit too much.
I look down at my parfait. I am a hidden sweet tooth, but unlike other Hunters, I am not a big eater. I moved my spoon at a pretty fair pace, but there was still about half of the parfait left in the beautiful glass bowl.
Tino, on the other hand, was quietly sitting there and has long finished her parfait, even though we should have asked the same thing. Hunters tend to eat fast and a lot. Where in the world does that large portion of parfait fit inside her slender body?
I didn’t make any reaction, but perhaps that was a bad move, the man smiled and nodded widely as if he was convinced of everything.
“I was right......! I have been waiting for your visit for a long time! I am the manager of this store ――”
He said in an excited tone.
He asked me for a handshake and I shook his hand as I was swept by his mood. I could smell chocolate coming from his hands, apparently, he was also the one who made that parfait.
Except by Hunters, this was the first time that my identity had been revealed by regular citizens just because I was eating sweets. What’s more, he was so passionate despite facing a supposedly powerful Hunter. Tino was also astonished.
“In this industry ―― You are extremely famous. You may be the most famous among all the Hunters. A legendary Treasure Hunter who visits every cafe shop and confectionery store inside and outside of the country! It is said that this man will bring happiness and prosperity to every shop he visits......! That man Alias comes from the fact that he keeps coming and ordering new items on the menu until he has conquered everything from the menu ――《Infinite Variety》!”
“As expected of Master.........!”
“!?”
TL notes:
Thanks for reading.
I knew it! Remember in 3rd arc when he said that in the past he bought cakes in a cafe shop but there was always no one in it but now there is always a long line to buy those cakes? Well it really was because of him that the store became popular! XD
He is famous for conquering all the sweets on the menu from around the world. How can you still say that you are a hidden sweet tooth.
We also learn where Cry’s Alias come from! From the fact that he always order something new from the menu until he conquered everything XD (Of course that is only for the people in the food industry, for Hunters it is because he can handle everything)
Tchao à plus

Itadakimasu: it is something japanese people say to thank for the food, like enjoy your meal or bon appétit.Infinite Variety: I translate 千変万化 (Senpen Banka) into Infinite Variety but it can also mean Ever Changing. So you can said that his order are ever changing or he eat an infinite variety of sweet XD.
