The Coffee Shop in a Different World Station

The kitchen, where Sabath and Loudendorf and his wife were guided, had already seen the sun incline and dim. Nyarch rubs the match with a familiar hand and lights the lamp. Thanks to the fact that I also carried the lamps I usually use in the hall into the kitchen, I was able to ensure the necessary brightness for the work. Takumi began explaining how to make the decorative chopped Vurst he had just offered while removing Vurst from the bottle.

"Now let me introduce you from the decorative cuts as soon as possible. Even so, it's easy as long as you learn the trick."

Nicole, lined up next to Takumi, nods with a serious look with a borrowed knife in her hand. Opposite it stood Johann with a pen and paper. As his own experience, Nicole was trying to keep Takumi's teachings firm in the form of records. Sabbath and Nyarch also sit back in the chair by the kitchen and watch how it goes.

"Now let's start with a ta... let's do it from the shape of a flower. Even so, this is so easy… this is how you just cut into half of the Vurst"

The Vurst I use is the thinnest and shortest of what I have brought with me today. The thickness is about the thumb and the length is a little longer than the thumb. Nicole follows Takumi's description and demonstration. I'm going to put a knife about half the length of Vurst vertically. First, once so that it is half the time. And rotate it one by one, twice, three times. Thus, only half of the whole could Vurst be broken into six pieces. Nicole puts in some of the same cuts as a practice.

"But in this state, the flowers aren't as beautiful as they were earlier."

Johann crushes as he looks at Vurst with the cut in. As Johan pointed out, although Vurst had cleavages in it, the cleavages were not "like flowers bloom” to the extent that the gaps were slightly cleared. Takumi responds to the question with a nod.

"There's another step to making flowers blossom. However, you want to do the task of using the knife first, so just do the decorative cutting first. The next step is to cut the fish ornament. This is a little more laborious than earlier."

When Takumi told him so, he began the demonstration explaining the procedure. Nicole also moves the knife following Takumi's movements. When you make a small cut in one end of the Vurst cut in half lengthwise, turn the cut side to the right and place it horizontally. Then, place the knife only slightly diagonally in about the right third of the place and gently slice into the diagonal lattice on its left side. The depth at which the knife is placed is up to about half the thickness. It is Takumi's precaution not to put the knife too deep. And if you put a big cut in the left side, you're done cutting fish ornaments. Just like earlier, Nicole practices several iterations.

"And if you heat this cut in with an oiled frying pan, it's done"

Takumi places a cast frying pan on the ceiling of the oven stove, which is pre-set on fire, and thinly pulls the corsa (vegetable species) oil to make it twist. And moderately swapped with Nicole where the frying pan builds up, gently letting Vurst, who cut off the decorations earlier, in.

"As a point, you don't stir too hard. Pass through the fire while gently rolling, especially those in the form of flowers, as the petal area can easily cut a thousand pieces. One way to do this is to put a lid on the frying pan and make it look like steaming."

Nodding at Takumi's explanation, Nicole softly rolls through Vurst with a fork. Then, the area where the cut was placed earlier gradually opens up, and the contents with a light pink appear from under the brown skin.

"I see. By adding heat, Vurst expands and spreads out of the gap."

Nicole rolls corny as she looks pleasantly at Vurst turning into flowers and fish. Then, anticipating the time when the light scorch was enough to pass through the fire, he arranged the flowers and fish Vurst that could be done onto a plate.

"Hmmm...... this may also mean showing how you are making decorative cuts. The kids are going to be happy."

Johann talks to Nicole as he closes the lid on the ink bottle after taking the record. In response to the words, Nicole gave a complex look.

"I think so, too. It's just that this is Takumi's technology, so it's not like we're making it look too casual..."

Takumi, who was listening beside him to the interaction, takes Nicole's concerns away with a flamboyant smile.

"It's not a problem at all. It's not so much complicated technology, because it's like doing it very commonly in every home where I used to be. Rather, show them to your children and their parents. I'm sure you'll be happy.

Nicole cheers with surprise at Takumi's unexpected offer.

"Is it true!? If that's permissible, it's truly an unwanted pleasure!

Johan, too, bows his head deeply beside him and says thank you. Takumi responded this way, in contrast, only humbly.

"No, it's not a big deal, and it doesn't matter at all. Besides, what I showed you today is only the basic form that I can do. In the end, it's one story about how to put in a knife, and I think there are still a lot of possibilities. Be sure to come up with a lot of ideas, Mr. Nicole.

Nicole nods at Takumi's words. There are only a few left until the exposition begins, but let's still give it a try… Nicole was discussing the idea with Johann as she cleaned up the kitchen. Looking sideways at that figure, Takumi stabbed a wooden pick at Vurst, served on a plate, and spoke to three people who added Sabbath to the two they were discussing.

"Well, I made a corner, shall we all taste it before it cools down? If we don't eat soon, Nyarch's gonna eat it all again."

Ahead of what Takumi saw as a chillary was Nyarch sneaking in with his unplugged legs. The moment his eyes met, he was a gnarled face, but when Takumi invited him, he approached him very closely. And Takumi grabbed Nyarch's back and prompted a third reflection today. The kitchen was engulfed with laughter by the voice of Nyarch No-na.

―――――

The next morning, Sabbath and Mr. and Mrs. Loudendorf visited the coffee shop Tsubame again, and the three of them, who enjoyed the mornings, waited for it to be train departure time as they enjoyed their after-dinner coffee.

"Good luck late yesterday. Are you leaving today?

Takumi, who came to the hall, greets the three of them. Last night, we had all tasted the prototyped Vurst decorative cuts before also teaching them how to make pilaf and myth dogs. The procedure was remembered as Nicole originally had culinary qualities, and the exposure at the exposition reached a level that was sufficiently possible.

"Yeah, on the first flight after this. I really took care of him yesterday. Let me thank you again.

To Sabbath, whom I thank again, Takumi is most important to you. Sabbath had always conceived of how he could repay Takumi, who cared and spared no effort to help him around. After a night of thinking, Sabbath, who came to the thought of one proposal, throws one question to Takumi.

"Sometimes, is Lord Takumi going to an exposition?

"Um, I'd like to go, but I'm wondering if more customers will be heading to the exposition and the station building will be more and more busy working, and a little difficult. Too bad, though.

Takumi responds to Sabbath with a bitter laugh. The answer was exactly what Sabbath expected. Sabbath brings Takumi the suggestions he thought about last night.

"Now, if there's anything you wanted to see at the exposition, if it's something you can take home, I'd like to arrange it for you. I'm sorry that you're dying to see my business."

You don't have to worry about it, and I persuade Takumi that Sabas also wants to use his eye-catching powers. Through that interaction, Takumi finally broke and decided to accept Sabbath's offer.

"So sweet for your words...... Well, it would be nice to have“ tea ”and“ noodles "if we could, given the store's sales."

Next, Takumi explains “tea” and “noodles”. Neither of them have been seen since they came to this world. Be polite while choosing words to help Sabbath understand. Then Johann, who was listening to the interaction, called from the side.

"Does" tea ”mean“ tae "?

Takumi asked Johann a few questions and confirmed that the “tea” he imagined and what Johann called “tae" were generally the same thing. Sabbath also asked Johann to cooperate and promised Takumi that he would endeavour to ensure that these in kind could be arranged.

"So, what does“ Menlouis ”mean?

Sabath also asks Takumi about another ingredient he is unfamiliar with hearing. Takumi manages to painstakingly explain the noodles. In a nutshell, it is a food that has been elongated and processed with dough made from finely crafted powder. And it tells us that many noodles are to be made of flour and, if so, imagine that there are two types of noodles: raw noodles, which presuppose cooking on the spot when beaten, and dried noodles, which are processed so that the sun shines.

"Raw noodles make“ flour "not easily available. It seems very difficult to reproduce around here. So if so, fine, so I would appreciate it if you could look for dried noodles...... dried.

Sabbath says he understands and expresses his willingness to consent. Johann and Nicole also offered to help me find it, although I didn't know it. Takumi thanks the three of them for their offer.

Otherwise, Takumi told him the story of wanting him to get the same if anything else seemed interesting besides what he saw near here about seasonings, and of course Sabbath and this one were both happy.

Takumi checks the wall column clock and speaks to the three of them.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, it's almost time to leave. I'll see you later.

The three men who dropped off Takumi on their way to work for the "Station Manager" quickly exchanged information on the people who would be exhibiting at the exposition and began preparing to respond to Takumi's request.
