I Reincarnated Into a Gender-Reversal World and Became Everyone’s Ideal Type

33. Provence Restaurant (7)

“This dish was made with the intention of welcoming guests.

We hope that this overwhelming feeling of ours will be well conveyed to the VIPs. Please.”

After the manager finished talking, the staff next to the cart started to move around busily.

One person set tableware and napkins at our seats, and the other two came to us with bowls of food.

One of the employees who was walking the front approached the empty chair at the top of the table. Soon he was looking at us and wondering how to place the dishes.

Well, I fully understood.

Normally, I have to serve the top table first, but since I, who should be at the top table, is on my mother’s lap, it must have been difficult.

No, isn’t it right that mother should sit at the top of the table in the first place?

It’s the same when you sit in the car, why do you keep putting me in the top seat…

To be honest, I didn’t quite understand.

As soon as the staff member was in a high-ranking seat, another staff member took notice and presented the dish in front of my mother and me first.

Then the manager continued his explanation.

“A salad made with wild matsutake mushrooms and trout roe prepared as a welcome food.”

It was a salad that looked really delicious just by looking at it.

In particular, I really like mushrooms.

So, when the manager said it was a wild matsutake mushroom, I was staring at the dish with my eyes shining.

The manager continued to explain about cooking, but I was already distracted by the cooking, so I couldn’t properly listen to the explanation.

I wanted to taste it quickly.

But unfortunately…

It was unreasonable to taste it right away.

“And this sauce is——.”

He couldn’t lift the fork because the manager hadn’t finished his explanation yet.

And above all,

“… ….”

“Oh, that looks really delicious.”

Because my butt was still on my mother’s lap, not mine.

And most of all, the body was held in the hands of the mother. It’s like being tied down.

Ugh, I want to eat quickly.

When will my mother put me down on the chair?

Did you become impatient with the food in front of you?

Like a puppy ready to feed, I was unknowingly on my mother’s lap, wiggling her hips and wiggling her body.

My mother, who naturally noticed my movements, said with a smile.

“hehehe, you look like you want to eat quickly, right?”

“Yes!”

I replied vigorously with the desire to eat quickly in my eyes.

As if my earnest wish had reached her mother, she smiled and released her arms that were wrapped around my waist.

Then I stretched out my arms like that,

“Yes, my son. Come on~

Mom will feed you~ Let’s prepare to eat~”

My mother looked very happy,

He lifted the napkin from the table and said,

He laid it out on my lap.

… Hey, mother?

Wouldn’t it be correct to choose the option here that usually puts me down on the chair?

Even in my eyes with that meaning,

As if my mother didn’t mind at all, she neatly arranged the napkin on my lap, unfolded it, and raised the fork.

And with a fork,

She started to cut the salad into bite-sized pieces that were just right for my small mouth.

There… If I just eat…

That… There are a lot of people watching…

No, it’s not a little embarrassing.

Couldn’t we at least have all the staff leave? Look at that…

“… ….”

“… ….”

“… ….”

The serving staff are looking at us with bewildered expressions.

It’s definitely a man’s age, so it’s too embarrassing to be treated like a child, mother….

However, even in such a situation, there was someone who kept his composure and silently did his job.

That was the manager.

In her hand was a bottle of champagne that had been on the cart before she knew it. She then explained as she filled the champagne glasses in front of her mother.

“Sileni Vintage Pinot Noir Champagne.

Champagne from Burgundy, France. Its moderate flavor and clean taste go well with the scent of pine mushrooms.”

“Oh, thank you.”

After the mother thanked her manager, she returned to focus on the salad and fork.

When the salad was properly served on the fork, my mother brought the fork to my mouth.

“Now~ Aang~”

“… ….”

The eyes of the staff grew even hotter at the mother’s actions.

‘Envy, envy, envy—’

‘I should be there!―’

‘A man who might be my father—’

I was so embarrassed that I had so many eyes, so I mumbled, not knowing what to do.

Then I heard the manager’s voice.

“Then, I hope you have a good time.”

“Ah, thank you.”

“And Mother.”

“Yes?”

When the manager came closer and spoke to her again, the mother replied in a slightly unpleasant voice.

She wanted to make me taste the food as soon as possible, but the manager didn’t notice and didn’t quickly back down, so the atmosphere was broken and she seemed displeased.

“Excuse me, but may I offer an opinion?”

“Hmm, what is it?”

The manager seemed to have noticed the displeasure of her mother as well, so she opened her mouth with an apologetic expression.

“It’s not different, it’s because I thought it would be uncomfortable to have separate plates for my son and my mother.

So, I think it’s easy to put it in one plate from the next dish. “

At the manager’s wonderful (?) Suggestion, the mother seemed to think it was a very good idea, and she smiled very brightly and said in a happy voice.

“Oh, is it just one plate? Are you still okay? I would be very grateful if you could do that.”

“Yes, I understand. From the next dish, I will bring it on a plate.”

“Yes, thank you very much.”

“No, then have a good time.”

Hey, wait!

If you do that, the chair you prepared with all your hard work will be in vain!

Are you really okay with that?! Yes?!

And first of all, I’m a guest too, so can’t you ask me too?!

What about my doctor?!

… Of course, I couldn’t refuse because of my mother!

Excuse me?!

However, I couldn’t bring myself to express such a protest. It was because I lacked courage, and more than anything, I thought my mother would be very sad.

That’s why I just shouted inwardly.

So while I protested inwardly,

The manager bowed to us, gave us a glance at the staff, and started to leave the hall.

When all the staff left, my mother smiled and said what she was so happy about.

“Come on~ son, let’s eat~ Aang~”

“…… Aang.”

“That’s right~ They eat well~”

I had my first meal out like that,

On my mother’s lap,

As if it were a baby bird,

I calmly received food from my mother and ate it.

All courses.

Well well,

But the taste is there.

◈◈◈

“Hey, this is it. It’s kind of embarrassing.”

“… ….”

At the time when Jinhyo and Yoonhee were eating in the hall,

Detective Kim, who was in charge of security outside the hall, was suffering from the smell of food wafting up.

Did you say couples look alike?

Detective Kim was influenced by her foodie wife, who also inherited her gourmet temperament.

That’s why I was in a lot of pain from the delicious temptations that came from the restaurant.

In particular, she was in real trouble whenever dishes entered the hall.

If you relax even a little bit,

It was because the saliva that had accumulated in my mouth was about to spill out of my mouth.

Detective Kim muttered to Detective Yoo standing next to him as if he was complaining, as if it must have been really hard to endure such an ordeal.

“Ah~ I’m going to go really crazy if I do this.”

“…… Concentrate on your work.”

“Yaya, you will understand if you are in my situation.

You have no idea how delicious the dishes in the hall are.”

“…… I don’t need to know.”

“This bastard is a real poison. Can’t you smell this? What is this salivary gland-stimulating smell? Sup.”

“…… Ha.”

Detective Yoo shook his head and sighed deeply, as if he would not listen to Detective Kim’s whining complaint.

While Detective Kim was complaining for a long time,

A serving cart appeared again with the restaurant staff on the other side of the hallway.

And this time, as always, the serving cart passed by the guards, giving off a mouth-watering smell.

The serving cart and the staff who passed by them stood in front of the door and knocked, then entered the hall when the bell rang.

As the serving cart and staff disappeared into the hall,

Detective Kim no longer wants to save face, but he sniffs and starts sniffing.

“Sniff sniff, sniff.”

“…… It’s embarrassing, so stop it.”

“This smell… Boiled flounder? No is it steamed?

Ah, white fish smells like this! I really wonder how it tastes!”

“…… You know that?”

“Of course! It is said that people are more sensitive to smells, especially food smells, when they are hungry.

Ah~ It’s painful, it’s painful! Are you really not suffering?”

In response to Detective Kim’s questioning question, Detective Yoo answered calmly.

“…… We came for lunch.”

In response to Detective Yoo’s answer, Detective Kim opened his eyes wide and said with a shocked expression.

“What?! Were you here for lunch?”

“…… Be quiet.”

“Ah~! You guys really, this is a betrayal! How-“

Detective Kim was about to run into Detective Yoo with lights on, as if to argue with him, when he heard the sound of the hall door opening.

As soon as the door sounded like that, Detective Kim straightened his posture. As if nothing had happened.

Detective Yoo only looked at her sly behavior with a bewildered look.

The door to the hall opens,

Employees were coming out with a serving cart loaded with empty dishes and used tableware instead of cooking.

Detective Kim was secretly salivating while glancing at the dishes on the serving cart.

Even though it was an empty bowl.

It seemed that the hunger was intense.

As the serving cart and staff disappeared across the hallway again, Detective Kim argued with Detective Yoo as if he had waited.

“Yumma! Someone even skipped lunch due to an emergency dispatch! How dare you eat lunch just for you guys!”

“…… Ha.”

“Are we not one family? Thinking of the family, I asked for a job. Do you guys eat without me? Uh?!”

“…… Yes i’m sorry okay?”

“If you’re sorry, why are there police! No, we’re the cops, right? There was an enemy inside!”

“… ….”

“So, was the lunch you ate without me delicious? Huh? It was tasty? What did you eat for lunch?”

“…… Braised back ribs.”

“People, are you taking medicine right now!”

“…… Lunch was delicious.”

“You! When it’s over, I’ll-“

Just then, someone appeared on the other side of the hallway.

Then again, Detective Kim corrected his posture as if nothing had happened.

Detective Yoo was now feeling absurd beyond words.

And on the other hand,

She rediscovered why she is called the ace of the detective division of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.

Like that, Detective Yoo thought to himself,

She was not praising Detective Kim, saying that one of his five senses was at the level of a beast.

So, the identity of the person who appeared at the end of the hallway was none other than the restaurant manager.

The manager was approaching them, pulling her own serving cart, unaccompanied by her staff.

Detectives Kim and Detective Yoo were looking at it curiously.

Usually one dish comes out and takes at least 10 minutes,

The next dish was served at least 15 minutes apart.

But this time, it wasn’t long before the food was served, but the next serving cart arrived early.

The manager alone, without accompanying staff.

The girls stood in front of the manager, preparing for an unexpected situation.
