Part 2 Chapter.8
What does it taste like to be drunk?
Why am I so anxious to feed him?
With the question in my head, I slowly chewed the mushroom. Black mushroom. Like truffles, they are not black on the outside and a different color on the inside. This mushroom was just a black mushroom on the outside and black on the inside.
However, it is not a type of wood ear mushroom. It looks like a pine mushroom, but is just pitch black.
The taste was subtle.
I also wonder if there are other ways to cook it other than baking. If this was something Kundle gave, there must have been a unique recipe. But taste isn’t important now.
The first meal Rurin prepared just in time for my return. I was happy with just that fact, so it honestly didn’t matter what the plan was or what it was like.
“How do you feel?”
Lurin gave me a very heated look at me eating black mushrooms. He looks like he’s so interested that he’s about to explode.
“It’s delicious.”
“Is it delicious? Uh... ? “Is everything delicious?”
When I expressed my impressions, Lurin tilted her head. He looks somewhat embarrassed. He picked a black mushroom with a fork and held it in front of his nose.
“Ugh, the smell is strange.”
It’s a smell.
It’s a mushroom with a slight balsamic vinegar scent. Well, it doesn’t matter to me because it has its own flavor.
“You try it too.”
“me?”
At my words, Lurin glared at the black mushroom for a moment. And then he gently puts it down.
“no! If I eat it, I’ll be in big trouble! Because I have to be sane! “Huh!”
sanity?
Lurin quickly cupped her mouth with both hands.
And shake your head left and right. It’s also suspicious. It’s so cute that he covers his mouth with both hands and looks surprised, so I wonder what’s going on.
“I’m not going to eat?”
Nod nod.
Lurin nods while covering her mouth.
Then he frowned and picked up his fork again.
“This body eats meat!”
Lurin dipping meat again.
“Instead, you should eat one more. I need to eat a few more. “Because I don’t think one can do it.”
With the fork in one hand, I dip the meat and put it in my mouth. With the fork in the other hand, I dip the black mushrooms and put them in my mouth.
We are very busy.
“Howdy! I heard you said you were going to rest at the bottom of the hill? “So I came!”
Right at that moment.
Serena attacked.
“hello.”
After that, Elena naturally followed along like a chewing gum.
“excuse me. Two people? “If you say we’re closed, doesn’t that mean the restaurant is literally closed?”
“huh? So, I came.”
“It comes even if you don’t rest.”
When I pointed this out, Serena shook her head while waving one finger.
“At that time, I came as a guest to buy food. “Elena always calculates things.”
“Then what now?”
“Now I’m here to have fun.”
“What’s the difference?”
“It’s better to come when you’re resting because you don’t have to pay anything. “Hehehe.”
“that that... . sorry. “But I have nothing to eat!”
Next to her, Elena also started to knit even more. Lately, I’ve been feeling like Elena has changed a little compared to before. Would you say she takes after Serena?
She’s still polite and kind, but like now, she sometimes sounds like Serena.
“and! Do you know how much Elena dug into the ground when you were gone for a week?”
“huh? Elena? why?”
Lurin, the person who rescued this mushroom, tilted his head and shouted.
“This is grown by coons. “It’s not that strange mushroom named Curia!”
No, if the Kundles were involved, it could have been the Curia.
“By the way, if this is the Curia, what effect does it have?”
So I asked Elena about the efficacy I was curious about. What kind of efficacy does it have that it is even called legendary?
“Curia is very famous because of its effect of increasing the lifespan of cells. There has been a lot of interest since ancient times about long-lived food ingredients, and the legendary mushroom is said to be the definitive... .”
“Extension of life? It’s no big deal, right? What can I do to extend it further? ?”
Serena said something very selfish.
“And it completely regenerates the skin like a snake sheds its skin... .”
As soon as those words came out, Serena had already put the black mushroom in her mouth.
“Aaaah, I almost ate it without even realizing it!”
Even Lulin put it to his mouth as soon as he heard that it was good for the skin, but exercised superhuman self-control and stopped the fork. He was so startled that he threw away his fork.
“okay? Well, since the coons had a lot of mysterious mushrooms, I think it could be possible.”
If that’s the case, you should eat more. It’s already shorter than Lurin’s lifespan.
“Is this really okay to eat? Wow... .”
Elena let out pure admiration.
As a result, I ate mushrooms, Elena ate mushrooms, and Cereina ate mushrooms.
Surprisingly, Lurin did not put mushrooms in her mouth from before. I don’t know why it’s like that. There’s something up there, but I don’t know what it is.
If what Elena said is true, it doesn’t seem like black mushrooms have any strange effects and that’s why I don’t stop eating them.
“Ugh. “Huh.”
While I was thinking that, something strange suddenly occurred. Elena, who was eating black mushrooms, started crying.
“Why why why! Why why why? Ugh. “Ugh!”
They all wail loudly.
“Why why why why...?” Hibb wow!”
“Elena?”
I was so surprised that it suddenly happened like that and looked at the situation. Serena also looks at Elena with a surprised face.
“Elena? hey?”
“Sereina, you too, Sereina! Wake up a little early in the morning! And and why did you eat my pudding yesterday! L made it for me! Argh!”
“... ... .”
I looked at Serena. Serena also looks at me.
“Do you think you’re drunk?”
“yes?”
“Did you drink before coming to the restaurant?”
When asked a very serious question, Serena jumped up and answered.
“no? “No, before that, would Elena drink to the point of getting drunk like this?”
“Well, that makes even more sense. So you’re saying you ate mushrooms and got drunk?”
When I said that, Rurin muttered quietly to herself.
“Well, it works for elves, but why are you still fine?”
“huh? “What did Lulin say just now?”
When asked again, he waved his hand and shouted at Sereia.
“Oh no! Hehehe. Hey red one, take that drunk elf and go back!”
“I’m not listening to you, but I guess I have to. “If I leave it alone, I think he’ll make all kinds of noise, and if I don’t stop him, he’ll have to move out of here.”
“huh? “Well, does that mean you have to move?”
Serena let out an unintelligible sound and grabbed Elena’s hand.
“no, I do not want! Why are you holding me! I still have a lot to say! El too! Hi.”
“Are you going?”
And at that moment, Serena teleported and disappeared while holding Elena. Lulin looked satisfied with the results of the experiment and began piling up black mushrooms in front of me again.
“you.”
“huh?”
“Eat more! “Because you have to live longer.”
“uh? Well, that’s true.”
“Now ahhh! Ah, do it!”
So I ate black mushrooms and ate them again.
