Labyrinth Restaurant

It's about one hot summer day.

Today, I (Lisa) plan to go to the King's Capital of Country A, far from the Labyrinth City, to meet those who looked after me before. I've just been on summer vacation and I can afford the time, and it would be a good opportunity.

I could of course go without waiting for the summer vacation if that bothered me, but sometimes it was more dramatic than I needed a previous breakup, and I was somewhat embarrassed to normally go see him. Nevertheless, I'm going to stay out of the way even if I'm extending my cheats and appointments ahead of time like this. It will be right around here.

I also wondered if there was no appointment, so I'm asking Shinko to send a letter to the king within the last week. In addition to my greetings, I made various requests in the letter. Unwillingly, the popularity of brave men in this world today is going to be amazing, and it can be troublesome if you don't keep it as secret as possible.

Few labyrinth cities have ever met me in my valiant years so I can walk effortlessly, but Country A is especially hard if it gets noisy because many people know the face of valiant (me). Maybe this is how it feels to be an entertainer in a private disguise.

"That's the kind of wack, take the day off"

"Yeah, okay, have fun."

I also decided to get a part-time job today. Originally, it's a store with enough people, and when I told Alice, I got some rest.

"How about Alice and the Demon King with you if you like?

From time to time, the two of them may leave the store to the homunculus people to go out. I asked if you'd like to come with me today.

"No, I won't. We're gonna get nervous anyway."

Unfortunately, they turned me down. But if you ask me, if all of a sudden the Demon Kings go, there's going to be useless confusion. I'm a little sorry, but as far as I'm concerned I don't want to make it too important (oh and), it seems better to go alone.

"Well, I'll be there"

"Yes, please go"

I told Alice to leave, and I traveled to a country I used to miss.

◆ ◆ ◆

Traveling, what a big deal I said, it only takes a second because it just cuts through the space and transfers directly. Mr. Holy Sword will remain the same today as a convenient commodity. It's my summer vacation, and should I use this feature to go on my next trip to Hawaii?

"Uh, what about here?

I decided to take another opportunity to think about my travel plans and I checked the situation around me. It's like a square with cobblestones over the ground, covered with walls, so you can't see it from the outside. Looks like they came out on the Knights' training ground as planned.

But on the day I was first summoned, I practiced using the Holy Sword against the knights in this place. It was naturally the first time I had ever been able to point a real sword at you, so you were actually pretty scared at first, weren't you?

"I miss you......"

"Um, I miss you once. About two years after that."

A reply came back to my solitaire. Apparently, you were coming to pick me up.

"Long time no see, Your Majesty"

"Oh, long time no see, brave man."

The king himself was taking me to my reception.

"You shouldn't have been too conspicuous, would you? The others are already gathered in separate rooms, and we're paying for them on the road, so let me show you."

"Sorry for the inconvenience"

Now I realize that the king seemed to have come all the way to the training ground by himself without an escort. I appreciate you keeping my presence a secret, but I feel a little sorry when it gets so thorough.

"For the rest, I wanted to do a welcome parade to name my country."

"I'm sorry, give me a break about that"

People with money and power have different ideas. But forgive the parade because my stomach is not going to hold on to the boulder.

It seemed true that we were paying for people on the road, and I don't see anyone on the road we go by. A large number of servants and officials used to move around busily when I saw them before, but now it seems as if the wide castle has become carapo.

"It's the room ahead. But you've been here before."

"Yes, several times"

What preceded me, guided by the king, was this again a royal dining room dedicated to the day I had been summoned to eat. You can feel signs of people in the room.

I will never open the door of the dining room,

"" "It's been a while!

I reunited with my nostalgic friends. This is the only secret that made me cry a little bit.

◆ ◆ ◆

"Then celebrate our reunion, cheers!

"" "Cheers!

The king takes the head of the toast and we all swaddle the contents of the glass. Most people are alcoholic, but I have had them fruit water. You may not have to abide by Japanese law in this world, but I usually go home today, so it would be bad if you were drunk. My family makes me think I've become a bad girl.

When I finished my toast, the food was brought in one after the other. According to the King's explanation, it is the hard-mouthed among servants who are in charge of serving and cooking this time, so I don't seem to have to worry about the existence of the former brave (me) leaking.

Well, the food seems to have finished lining up, and there are plates lined up with various treats in front of me, but I was a little worried when I saw this sight.

I've had the same treat in this place before, but honestly it didn't really suit my mouth. The dishes currently lined up in front of you also look and smell delicious, but what does it taste like? With all due respect, that worried me in my heart.

I thought it was easy to start with, and I decided to get a potato salad that was on a plate nearby. Even on the journey potato-based dishes were relatively cheap, and they wouldn't be enough to be eaten at their worst.

I was thinking etc......

"Oh, yum."

Apparently, the worry was completely worrying. It's almost no different from what the Demon King eats in his shop or in Japan. The dusty texture of the potatoes goes well with the soft acidity of the mayonnaise, and the flavor of the pepper in which it is mixed tightens the flavor.

The dishes other than the potato salad, the steamed fish go perfectly with the vanilla sauce without shards such as muddy odor, and the soup tastes as if it has been concentrated in a delicious part of the meat and vegetables with a small amount of acquisitions and sauces. The bread is served in a basket with soft, fuzzy objects and a hard bread with a strong aroma of wheat, so that you can choose your kind if you like. I got softer.

"This is amazing"

Among the numerous dishes, the main roast beef was particularly excellent. With a moist and soft texture close to raw meat, even though the fire is right through, you can indulge in the meat's flavour in luxury. I didn't do it this time because I didn't behave very well, but it looks delicious to sandwich this roasted beef in bread with plenty of mustard on it, or Dombri-style with wasabi soy sauce and rice.

I asked the maid who served me if the calf imported from the demon kingdom had been raised for a while without laboring on the royal ranch, and had been further dropped and then aged for about two weeks. It's not limited to cattle, but apparently the phrase 'from the Demonic Realm' now has a brand effect like fine Japanese beef in Japan.

"Are you enjoying it?

"Yes, very"

I answered the King's question with all my heart, not with a social decree. I am surprised because the type and quality of food is so different compared to when I had it before.

"That's good. After returning to the country from previous meetings, the cooks of our castle regret that the rest and the offerings praise the dishes of the demonic world so much. Looks like we're doing a lot of research based on imported recipes."

Similar things seem to be happening in various countries, and they have a little gastronomic boom going on in various countries. Many of the cooks serving the court and aristocratic houses seemed prized and not all of them welcomed the new recipes, but they also seemed impatient to lose with their arms to the Ichii cooks, and you think there are a lot of people working hard to make the new wazz something?

"Ha, you can't beat the demon world forever."

In areas other than cooking techniques, they are also proceeding with crop and livestock breed improvements based on new knowledge, and collecting data on demons that are suitable for consumption by asking adventurers from the state. You're willing, not just a tense eater......

◆ ◆ ◆

It became a trend to finish the meal until the last dessert, move the place to the next reception room, and then have a lot of cheering time.

Many of the knights seemed nervous about the royal dining room and the meal, but thanks to the alcohol in and the tension lifted, they were finally able to talk slowly.

The sister, who aspired to be an ice cream shop, said she retired from the Knights and opened a shop safely in Castle Town. She told me where the store is so I'm going to go buy it next time. My husband was also thanked for his good grades at the Knights swordsmanship tournament, which he had had on his journey.

Grandpa, who was trying hard to make a holy sword out of people's hands, looked fine, unchanged. Research seems to be progressing well. The wand I had in my hand was actually a prototype holy sword, and when I was shown it deformed much faster than before. You think I'm repeating the prototype with my disciples and grandchildren in a private lab now?

Then we also reunited the two children of the king we had met before. It's been nearly two years since we met before, so the prince and the princess were big enough to see each other differently. Little kids like this will grow up soon.

They're both working hard on swordsmanship under the influence of fashionable brave tales in the alley. As for Ten himself, I'm a little embarrassed, but do you think there are many children, both men and women, who start swordsmanship with the same motives? Well, that's probably not a bad thing in itself, is it?

Speaking of which, the King has advised me whether or not to treat you as a prince for future forgiveness. There was a lot of alcohol in there, and I know it's meant to be a light joke, but honestly I want you to stop joking about having trouble responding like that. I politely declined. The prince is only ten years old, and he will have some good luck in the future.

The king was slowly depressed when he heard the saying no, but was it because he was sick of alcohol? No way, you didn't mean it, did you?

◆ ◆ ◆

Delicious meals, delightful conversations, and fun times are quick to pass. Looking out the window, the sun was already falling. You're tired. The princess is asleep on a soft couch. I feel sorry to wake you up on purpose, and I'm afraid I can't say hello, but let's decide to stay quiet and free.

"It's time to go home today"

"I have a room for you, so why don't you stay a few days?

I've been recommended that way, but unauthorized outings on boulders are a little crappy. I won't run out of remnants, but for today I've decided to go home.

"Also feel free to come anytime"

Nevertheless, it can be a bad thing if the former brave man (I) finds out that he can easily come to this world, so he has to sneak in when he comes. I asked you once again to keep it to yourselves and your servants on this occasion.

"Yes, see you soon"

There will be less free time to use when the new semester begins, and I will try to interrupt you again during the summer vacation.

"Oh, yeah."

I could go straight home to Japan like this, but before that, I decided to stop by the labyrinth city. I got a part-time break today, and I thought I'd say hello or so. We changed the destination of the transfer and drilled a hole leading to the demon king's store in the labyrinth city basement.

"Now, if you'll excuse me"

As I dived through, the holes in space disappeared. Beyond the hole, I also think I heard Grandpa calling to a halt when he saw the new features of the Holy Sword, but let it be another opportunity to accompany the research.

At the same time as entering the store, Alice approached me with momentum and grabbed my shoulders. I don't know what's going on, but I find it oddly compelling.

"Lisa."

"Um, what..."

Here's what she said before answering my confused questions.

"I know you don't mean it, but please cooperate. Let's go for a victory together."

"... Yes?

What does winning mean?
