Labyrinth Restaurant

I completed my errand of the day for now, and Shinko came to the Demon King's restaurant to get his first meal in a long time.

Good afternoon, Alice.

"Oh, there you are. Thank you very much for your time."

"Yes? No, this way."

When Shinko entered the store, Alice was greeted with a very good mood for some reason.

I don't remember doing anything to be thanked, or vice versa. I should have worked disrespect for this reaction. Even though the Divine Son had doubts, his thoughts were sometimes dull due to physical and mental wear and tear, and he did not pursue that point in depth.

"By the way, how about we have a special menu for you today? Suddenly a heavy object at the beginning of a fast can strain your stomach and intestines."

"Well, thank you for your attention."

Alice seems to be in such a good mood that she even planted a special menu for Shinko.

If you are a regular person, when you resume eating after a short period of fasting, it is often time to get used to it first from an easily digestible menu like a soft porridge so as not to strain your digestible stomach and intestines.

The gastrointestinal toughness of the Divine Son is mildly transcendent in intelligence, so I doubt we need to apply that common sense, but, well, it won't mean it's easy to eat and bad.

"Well, I'll be right back with you"

As the word goes, Alice immediately brought the food from the kitchen.

Above the basin is a ceramic soup dish that is releasing kutsukutsu and heat.

In a deep plate, deep candy soup and baguette, and cheese on the surface. They baked every vessel in the oven just before serving, and the cheese on the surface had a light scorch.

"Is this soup?

"Yes, it's onion gratin soup"

Onion gratin soup.

This is a masterpiece of soup dish where you sink the bread, an ingredient, into a soup made from a well stir-fried onion base, sprinkle the cheese on top and then bake it in the oven from vessel to vessel.

"Let's heat it up a lot."

"It's going to be cold today. These days are limited to this."

Even though the ingredients are all things available all year round, they are also dishes with a strong image of wonder and winter.

It would be great for warming your cold body on a snowy cold day. The baguette is softened completely by sucking on the soup, and it doesn't contain meat that can easily be borne by the stomach and intestines.

"The replacement is made in a cup of torso, please feel free"

"Thank you for your concern"

I don't care how much good a menu is for digestion. When the amount is a large whole torso pan, I don't think it was good for my stomach or intestines anymore or anything, but let's forget that at this time.

"Okay, I'll take it"

Kamiko offered a pre-meal prayer before pouring up candy soup with a spoon. Seems like he's going to avoid baguettes and cheese first and make sure it tastes just like soup.

"Ugh, uh-huh."

I breathed a little cold to avoid burns, and brought the soup to my mouth with plenty of onion flavor.

The first thing I feel is sweetness.

It is the sweetness of an onion sautéed until it is stuck in butter.

It's as if you've even used sugar, but a distinctly different kind of sweet aroma from that of sugar flutters out of your mouth to your nose. I felt a deep flavour that would have been established as a single dish in this soup part alone.

"Okay, bye."

And the second bite that goes on.

Now I spooned up the baguette and cheese sinking in the middle of the soup dish with the soup.

The stiff baguette was quite tender after smoking plenty of soup. When the tip of the spoon touches, the shape breaks even with little force.

Cheese with heat is pulling trollies and yarn. The rich aroma of milk fat is also stronger with heat, and expectations for flavor just increase.

"Ugh, uh-huh."

Shinko was a little cold, just like his first bite, and carried baguettes, cheese and soup to his mouth at the top.

The first time I ate just the soup, the onion sweetness first came out strong.

But if you eat it all at once, it's not just the onions, it's the sweetness of the baguette wheat that made you breathe juice. Unique sweetness of dairy products with cheese. Those sweets mixed together to lift each other up, and they felt so many times better.

It's not just sweet, of course.

Salt gas. Taste. faint acidity or bitterness.

If you taste it carefully, you can feel the various flavor elements folding into several layers.

Then the taste itself was clear and not so much, and the nourishment of the soup had the feeling of gently staining each and every cell.

◆ ◆ ◆

It was the slow pace at the beginning of the meal, but Shinko seemed to soon regain his usual condition. I instantly drank up a soup of a large torso pan that would be transported from next to next as an appetizer.

Furthermore, we continued to eat meat dishes, fish dishes, salads, pasta, sweetness, etc. without stopping even after the empty plates had piled up and arrived at the ceiling.

Obviously more than usual, or I'm sure I was reluctant to save even that one. This time my appetite tag was completely off because of the hunger caused by fasting.

Will the total amount of ingredients eventually eaten by the Divine Son probably be around the border, such as whether it will fit into a three-digit kilogram or whether it will ride a ton of large platforms?

It's only wise to stop thinking deeply that eating that little changes in body shape and weight...... well. I'm sure it's in the law of mass preservation. 'Cause sometimes you want to take a break from work. It feels like an OL tired of everyday life that doesn't change.

"Thank you very much."

On the raven and on the corner, Kamiko, who had finished his meal, had long been in a bright mood.

After all, it's something that makes everyone feel down when they're hungry.

"You're still eating amazing"

The order finally stopped, and an empty Demon King came to see how the Divine Son was doing.

He is also him and seems satisfied to be able to cook a lot of food in his mind. Neither does anyone who satisfies my desire as a maker so much.

Because of it, or because of it, the Demon King said this to the Divine Son.

"I like you so much for eating like that."

"Hey!?"

If this line had been in Alice's ear, it would have been a straight to the training ground course, but unfortunately, she wasn't around to get chased to clean up a ton of dishes.

As a demon king, I kept what I promised the Divine Son a few hours ago, and I simply said what I thought.

But when people say "like" us because of our opposite sex this way too, even though we know we don't care about each other, we won't be able to help but still get upset.

"And suddenly, what are you saying!?"

"Huh? But I like you, too. I just said what I thought you said."

"I don't have to put it in words, so soo! Or, I knew you had no idea, you!

Will there really come a day when such a demon king understands love, etc?

Omake

Return from the restaurant.

The snow has already stopped and the stars are hidden from the slices of the clouds.

"Damn, I'm in trouble with the Demon King."

The Divine Son was having a conversation in his heart with the goddess, who had kept his silence this time all along.

Is this also called Girls Talk?

"That one's like a nostalgic puppy"

"That's odd to say."

"Hehe, that's just a little silly one, too"

Paradoxically, I'm sure the Demon King likes people because he likes them.

And you have absolutely no resistance to conveying favors. It's like a puppy waving his tail boom and nostalgic.

Even before, purposefully putting it into words has at least shown favor with a little trick, expression and all the others around us. Although not in a romantic sense.

If there's someone right around the corner who's showing no favor to any of the lower minds that way, it's something I'd prefer, as long as I'm not so gut-twisted.

"Alice and Lisa must have bonded."

"Also, is it? Oh, maybe you fell in love with the Demon King, too?

"No, not at all. As a friend, I prefer it."

'I think you're right about that. I'm the type who makes women cry unconsciously.'

In fact, there are countless other factors, so I can't say all about them, but I guess that's one of the reasons why Alice and Lisa were attracted to the Demon King.

"Nevertheless, we have learned a lot this time. I was going to bake you a favor, but the more I talked, the more I saw my immaturity."

'Well, that's the world. Or one last lesson from me.'

"What is it?

"That's right."

When I'm hungry, I feel depressed and my thoughts become dull. So make sure you eat and rest well when you think.

The Divine Son carved a thankful message from God into his chest.

"Omg Omg Omg"

In a quiet street lined with embassies from all over the country.

At present in the embassy, the current residence, Shinko stopped.

"Oh? That kid sure looks good in that store..."

Its gaze is pointed at the door of an embassy in another country, about a few dozen meters away.

There was the look of a chestnut-haired boy and a gray-haired old gentleman who looked familiar.
