Chapter 72: A single destination
“… It’s really a cafe”
“Mumu, were you doubting, Arge-san?”
“Well, if you are looking at the Onee-sama’s dress, most people think of a tea house than a cafe”
Even the employee said that. I moved the spoon without saying anything more than that. A mountain of chicken rice with a half fried egg. It is a so-called Omurice (omelet-rice). Scrape the corner and scoop, carry it to my mouth.
Ah, it’s delicious.
The seasoning of chicken rice is solid, not sticky. Onions and green peppers are good in texture and are large enough.
Egg is sweet, buttery scent covers chicken rice as it looks.
It was a perfect Omurice, except that it was written with red ketchup is「Blur here」 and in republican words.
“It’s delicious!”
Contrary to me who quietly eats while surprising, Kuzha was praising delicious Omurice as she eat it.
She look like a hamster than a fox, inflates her cheek and her eyes are shining. Children like Omurice.
But I’m dancing in my heart as well. In the kingdom we only have bread for meal and I really want to eat rice for meal but still don’t have any rice yet.
Satsuki-san looked at us and smiled happily.
Satsuki-san doesn’t eat much because of her physique. The size of the golden mountain is a little smaller than ours, even half of it has been handed over to Kuzuha-chan.
“I’m happy if you eat pleasantly. Arge-chan do you like it too?”
“Yes, it is delicious”
Even this is a cafe, but its taste is delicious as I remember. Only the character of ketchup is a bit strange. (T.N: Arge mean a cafe should have a western taste)
“That’s for sure. Because it was made with a unique method by … Iris-chan!
“Eh? Satsuki-san didn’t make it!”
“Iris-chan can make dishes served at the shop. I’m in charge of regular meals and sweets at stores”
“Oh, I see…”
Kuzuha-chan, who seemed to think that Omurice is handmade by Satsuki-san made a subtle look.
Certainly the characters written in ketchup are obviously a huge hook, like Satsuki-san, but Iris-san is like this as well. Only in this place, the two are strangely similar.
Fumitsuki-san is looking at Satsuki-san, but how can she move the spoon and eating without even look at her hand. I guess it is usual.
“Well, Fumi-chan … Because I will prepare for tomorrow, can you deliver this to commercial guild for a moment?”
After the meal was over and the dishes were tidied by Fumitsuki-san’s hand, Satsuki-san took out several sheets of paper from her valley of the chest.
From here I can not see the contents. Fumitsuki-san received it.
“Is it a request for repair the highway?”
“Yes, from here and from Sakura-zaka, I felt some places become bad when riding the carriage”
“Is that so, Onee-sama.”
“The road must be fix properly so the peddlers can travel comfortable, and they are our materials supply, so can you ask for me, Fumi-chan?”
“Okay, ~leave it to me ~♥” (Ha~ai, makase kuda sa~a i) (TN: she talk with happy voice)
Fumitsuki-san is cheerful accept Satsuki-san’s request and go to the back of store. She is preparing for going out.
There was something to worry about in the current conversation, so let’s dig a little more. Thinking that way, I talk to Satsuki-san.
“Well, what is a commercial guild?”
“Union organizations that many of the peddlers are registering because they do business across countries and villages so there is much danger. That guild is where they gather for information sharing”
It reminds me of the peddler who first took care of me when I came to this world.
Zeno Kotobuki-kun. He let me ride the carriage to Arlesha, he gave me a meal during that time and also gave me clothes and money.
I promised to return it if I can someday. I was wondering what I was going to do because I do not know if I can meet again, but if there is such an organization, there is a high possibility of registering Zeno-kun too.It is worth checking.
“Perfect timing, Fumi would guide you if you ask?” (Satsuki)
“I understand, I will ask.” (Arge)
“Well, Arge-san? What do you need?” (Fumi)
“There is a person I want to repay his favor, because he seems to be a peddler, so I wonder if I can find out where to go” (Arge)
“That’s important, I will also help you.” (Kuzuha)
It is something unrelated to Kuzuha-chan, but she seems to be full of spirit.
She is lively but not a bad child, so there is no problem. I myself have been with her forever so I am starting to feel like it’s natural that she is coming with me.
“Satsuki-san, can you please take care of Neguseo? Because we pay money including meal,”
“No, I don’t mind, meal is my treat and I plan to do so in future as well.”
“No, but,”
In this case, I feel that I will be the only one benefic. But why she looks so happy when she don’t have any benefit.
However, it seems that it will become more troublesome if I’m not doing as she want. So I think I will kept it in moderation.
In a sense, she is a strange person. But I will not let the other party bear the fact that they only giving things, and gain nothing will be returned. I will try return this favor later.
“Thank you, Satsuki-san”
Whether Fumitsuki-san will guide us or not, I’m still gonna going there. Even if she doesn’t guide me, I will search for places by myself.
Promises that I will return favor someday. If I don’t do this, it will keep bothering me forever.
Even though clothes and accessories given by him have already been lost.
“It would be nice if you meet your benefactor” (Kuzuha)
“I agree” (Arge)
Even the one who ruined the gift from my benefactor is this girl, but she didn’t have bad intention, she just misunderstood. So I will not say it.
I want to take a nap. I will try return my gratitude soon and go back for a nap.
