Chapter 56.3 – Good News Came in Winter

The leading dogkin glanced at her companions behind her and then, talked with a serious expression.

「Ano! Congratulations on madam’s pregnancy!」

Congratulations! They congratulated me in unison.

I had been congratulated by many people but this time, I’m so happy that I almost cried.

Thank you, I’m grateful that you’re happy that I’ll have a child.

When I sincerely replied with “thank you”, the slaves returned to their seats looking relieved.

Just as my heart was warming up, the manager said “it’s ready!”.

「This is the first one! Please!」

What was placed in front of me was a whole tomato.

No, it should have been hollowed out and some white things are stemming out of it.

「Sprinkle some salt on it and eat it.」

「Okay」

I sprinkled salt on the tomato and gobbled up the tomato with white thing.

Hnn?

Ah, there’s cheese in the hollowed-out part.

How could this not taste good?

「If you want to drink, try this!」

I sipped the cup that she brought me and found that it was a fruit wine made by soaking plums in hard liquor.

It wasn’t a good match but it’s not that bad.

Wine might taste better but in our kitchen, fruit wine is much cheaper than wine.

In any case, our brewery has unlimited high-spirit sake as long as we have the raw material which is wheat.

We don’t sell it cheaply to others but our slaves can drink it anytime for a very reasonable price.

「Next is this!」

This time, it was a pork and cabbage stew.

It was a perfect accompaniment to the sake.

The diced pork was so tender that it almost fell apart and the cabbage was soaked with flavor and was delicious.

The soup is clear and has no smell.

It’s a little salty but it goes really well with the sake.

「One more dish, I’m confident with this!」

「Ah, spaghetti.」

It was spaghetti in white sauce with a big chunk of intestines in it.

It was a bit dry but I think it is designed to be that way to make you drink soup afterward.

When I inhaled the steam, a delicious smell filled my heart.

I had expected it to be a drink accompaniment but this is unexpected.

I grabbed the fork and wanted to start eating but Pura, the manager, stretched her arms out in front of me.

She has cheese in her right hand and a grater in her left.

The surface of the spaghetti was quickly covered by cheese that looked like snow.

I gulped.

I stir the dish with my fork and bring it to my mouth without even rolling the pasta.

The flavor is meltingly tender as I had expected.

I poked the intestine with a fork and put it in my mouth.

It makes a squishy sound as juices overflow.

As expected as expected, this is how it should be.

「Manager! Me too!」

「Me too! Me too!」

「I want a big bowl!」

「Big bowl and extra cheese!」

Everyone started to order the dish.

For some reason, drinkers are always tempted to imitate what others are eating.

「Mine first!」

「What happened to the “I’m a bag carrier!”?」

「I was permitted so it’s okay!」

「How convenient」

While everyone was making a lot of noise, the entrance chime rang and the door was opened along with a “hello”.

A new customer came to the store which was already too narrow.

「Oh oh, you elephants have gathered her….master!? Eh!? Ah, no….I didn’t mean to!」

「You mean it!」

「Bring Puten here!」

The boarkin, who was panicking at the entrance, was dragged in by the drunks.

Hmm….they really wanted to have fun but I guess they’re holding back since I’m here.

I suddenly came today and spoiled their fun so I guess I’ll buy them a drink.

「Manager, today’s on me. Just send it to Chicken.」

The restaurant was abuzz with excitement.

「Alright! I’m going to make my belly fat!」

「Thanks for the food!」

「Manager, sake! Laura Rola!」

「Hey, that’s too expensive.」

「Then, ale! I’ll save it for later.」

「What’s the point of ordering something if you’re just going to hoard it? Are you going to sell it?」

「I’m not!」

「I’ll have ale! One big mug of ale!」

It’s good that you’re having fun but don’t drink too much or you’ll suffer tomorrow.

「Drink moderately」

「Yes! A glass of wine, please!」

「You just said yes!」

「What the! What’s with all this commotion about?…….eh! Master!? Sorry, I didn’t know!」

「Now you know!」

「Drag her too!」

After that, the fun continued until late with more and more girls joining in. I returned home exhausted and was scolded by Grandma Mion.

After that, I was forced to eat the macaroni gratin with white sauce and tomato salad for dinner in front of her with my bloated stomach.
