The Other World Dining Hall

"Wow..."

Born in the Siena Forest, Elf, Faldania looked up and was overwhelmed by a giant tree, burned by the braces of the two columns of "gold" and "red", known for their greed, of its seven-pillar demon dragon formerly known as "The Seven Colored Champions", leaving vivid traces of collapse.

Faldania began its journey from the Siena Forest and took a year to visit the heart of the Great Tree Sea, which has long rejected non-elf people.

The variety of defensive magic applied everywhere by countless demons roaming the woods and by the elves of the capital, and above all the art of exploiting the grace of the woods, will not survive, the breadth that takes more than half a month from stepping in to the center.

It is the giant tree that stands in that place that rejects nothing but the biological elf that is the entrance to the place to which Faldania aspired.

Sendo.

The only remaining elf capital to this day, a remnant of a period of prosperity in which the elves who had built a more advanced sorcery civilization up to now, about 1,000 years ago, were competing for the seat of the world's champions with the seven-pillar demon dragons formerly known as the "Seven Colored Champions".

Since the collapse of civilization, when the number was greatly reduced by the 'pandemic' 1,000 years ago, the only 'country' to have is an elf who has chosen the path of creating small villages in the rich forests everywhere and living in a closed and whispering way.

"Here's my father's friend..."

Sleep in the bag, after traveling, gently touch the letter that my father had sent to the devil to use.

A letter of introduction to an old friend living in Forest Capital, written after a sentence telling him to worry about his solo journey in young and passionate Fardania.

When I was just a 100 year old, he was a gastronomer and now he should have been studying cooking, seeing the human world around with him as a leader in his life.

If you don't have anything to go to, you should go.

That was what it said.

In fact, to cross that otherworldly cuisine, you must first know about this world.

It requires a visit to the capital of Elves, where the depth of Elves' knowledge is still handed down.

Faldania thought so.

"Yeah... I guess I can disarm enough to go through this alone"

Faldania exhales relieved as she approaches the giant tree at the entrance of the Mori capital and examines the magic hung there.

Hanging on a giant tree is the magic of the junction.

The magic of bouncing back what approaches you so that the demons of the forest do not enter is a collection of magical skills of an elf that cannot even be temporarily solved unless you are a fairly skilled magician.

I don't even deserve to go into Mori Capital for anything that doesn't lead to witchcraft.

I will tell you about it silently. It can be drilled if it is painfully temporarily enough for one self to pass by, if it becomes Faldania, who has undergone the magic tricks of his father in his hometown.

"My dad said when he got there, he could use his reading magic to contact his friends in the capital and get them to open it... but that would be faster for him to do it himself"

Decide so and work on the magic release.

Probably some other magic if you try to disarm it... even the magic of the alarm will activate, but then it's convenient to tell them that you're here and reject it.

I am a legitimate elf in the Siena Forest.

There's nothing wrong with visiting Mori Capital.

With that in mind, Faldania weakened the magic of the kingdom for only a few moments... and went into the last capital of the elves.

Meanwhile, around that time.

"... oh? The world is getting in the way."

Kristian, who worked in research, realized that in a mansion built by growing living trees so that the elves could live there.

"... Hmm, you're a good man inside"

Originally the guardian junction of Mori Capital is now entrusted with the management of Cristian.

Still not reaching the age of 400, young as an elf living in this capital, he piles up swords and witchcraft drills in the outside world and has high witchcraft arms, but is late.

And there is another magic overlay in that junction that automatically transmits the alarm to the administrator of the surgery when it is interfered with, such as disarming.

"I don't want to hide it... apparently it's an elf guest"

Speak your hypothesis and indulge in yourself.

It's straightforward and easy to understand to unravel the magic of the junction, and it's obvious that you're temporarily weakening your powers and trying to get through.

I'm probably not going to hide what I'm trying to disarm because I don't think I'm skilled enough to say I haven't noticed the sorcery of the alarm.

"I remember this habit of disarming a little...... could she have arrived"

That, I realize how to disarm an unidentified sorcerer resembles the sorcery used by a friend who was traveling with me for just about 50 years, and then I remember a letter brought to me by a friend's sorcerer only about six months ago.

- My daughter told me she was cooking new food and I went on a journey. I'll probably head to Forest Capital at first, so please do me a favor when I get there.

There was a lot of other things written about how cute my daughter looked like my wife, how much I wouldn't forgive even you if I did a strange imitation, but that's the least I should have done.

"Fair enough. If you wait a while, you'll find it and come here... so to speak, today was the day that that door showed up..."

It would be helpful to say that we are going to cook new dishes.

Because Kristian himself inspired a new exploration... because that was the dining room.

Faldania, who broke the bond imposed on the giant tree and stepped into the forest capital, got there.

"... here, right?

A house with trees that remain alive, countless in the forest capital...... one of them.

My father's friend...... I found out where Kristian's house was as soon as I asked the other elves.

- If it's Christian's house, I can tell right away because it smells unusual the last ten years or so.

I didn't know what to do at first, but as I walked around, I got a point.

I smelled it from afar.

... Something smells rotten.

"I'm sorry...... it's been a while, Mr. Christian"

Fortunately, as soon as I got inside the house, my family showed up.

Mithrill fine sword with blonde hair and green eyes and a magic dwelling on her lower back that she would have granted from her hand.

From a human point of view, it would only look about one or two years older than Faldania, but it is clear that if you pass through the eyes of an elf and perceive its magic, Faldania is something that lives longer and has stronger magic than its father.

Father's story says Kristian, who is about 100 years older than his father, doesn't live with his family.

Elves will be made even in the golem if they are enough to hire people originally, and most importantly, they are the same faces I saw when Faldania was only a 30-year-old, so they will definitely be in person.

"Oh, yeah. You are Faldania. [M] Edmond tells me.

Unjoining the entrance, it was wonderful inside.

That's not true of anything in Mori capital elves that can be disarmed a little over 100 years old.

I was concerned that Boulder was the daughter of Edmond and Matilda. "

"Yes, thank you"

To Cristian's sparing words of praise, Faldania returns the words with a little light.

"Oh, take it easy. And I don't even need words in that format.

You're my best friend's daughter, and you're an adult now, aren't you?

Then treat me like a friend. "

Then Cristian says what he's been concerned about since earlier.

"Ok...... ok. Nice to see you again, Cristian."

"Oh, nice to meet you, Faldania"

That's how they shook hands and became friends with each other.

"Nevertheless... what is this smell?

I don't know, something smells rotten. "

(I see. You're a fearless daughter. This girl)

Cristian replies with a heartfelt bitter smile to Faldania, who asks what he was concerned about just quickly.

"I mean, it's like rotting, or in a way, I'm doing research that rots elf beans."

"... what's that?

Faldania frowns in surprise at Christian's answer.

I know the elf beans.

It is a bean that is well made and eaten among the elves because it is a strange plant that has the power to restore the grace of the earth to the soil if it is sown and grown in a withered and lean land, sometimes used when growing the withered forest again.

The just fruited ones are beautiful green, the ripe and dried ones are earthy beans close to pale yellow, faintly sweet and delicious when boiled and eaten.

"I know elf beans... do you rot that?

But I don't know the intent to rot it.

Elf beans don't rot if they're dry, and most of them can be used as much as the magic of preservation that doesn't rot things if they're mostly elves.

The magic of preservation is not advanced magic for the operator to hang it back once every few days.

For an elf whose entire race is an excellent magician, though.

Fardania herself, the Yakionigiri she sometimes buys at the 'store', carries enough for days until she finishes eating well with the magic of preservation.

There is no way that Kristian, who is also a magical swordsman with far more arms than Faldania, can use that degree of magic.

"... no, let it rot, that's not accurate"

Think a little, Kristian decides to say it again.

"Do you know what cheese is?

Confirm first.

"Cheese? Sure it's human food, isn't it? I've heard of putting milk in the dark for a long time without the magic of preservation.

Normally, it should just rot, but it's not rotten and humans eat it like it tastes good. "

Food unfamiliar to elves, but traveling the human world and I've heard of it.

"Exactly. Humans call it 'fermentation'.

Later, it seems that human liquor is made in the same way.

The magic of preservation isn't as cheap as we are. It's one of the ways humans come up with preservation.

I'm trying to do it with elf beans. "

Nodding back at Fardanian's words, Cristian then extricates himself from the content of his recent exploration.

Elves didn't have the idea of doing 'fermentation' per se, so Kristian is just doing it by hand.

"With elf beans? Can you do that?"

"Oh, I can... I've eaten real things"

I nod with half certainty to the question.

I know what 'finished product' looks like. Then all we have to do is finish it.

"He said he had eaten... Mori Capital, and that's what some of it is?

Faldania, on the other hand, is inspired by the existence of a substitute that is not in his knowledge and hesitates to ask Cristian.

Rotten...... 'fermented' elf beans according to Cristian.

Think I might be of some help in my quest.

"No, it's not even in Mori capital... no, can you say it's in a way"

But the answers returned were enigmatic, ambiguous.

"... what do you mean?

Unable to grasp the intent of the word, Faldania listens back.

In contrast, Kristian coughs up one and recommends confirmation.

"A door leading to another world has been appearing in Mori Capital for about 10 years now.

… the door of the other world is connected to a restaurant that serves unusual dishes, where they serve dishes made with fermented beans. "

Ten years ago, as the administrator of the junction of the forest capital, he suddenly appeared in this forest capital a door to the other world.

It was Christian's new quest that spurred him through the door to find out who he was.

And there's another thing I want to make sure of.

Doubts I felt when I saw Edmond's letter.

When can a situation arise when a young, passionate and proud elf who was good at cooking peacefully in his home village suddenly jumps out of the woods thinking about making a 'new dish'?

"That's not true..."

To Christian's words, Faldania comes to mind.

Something that inspired me to travel.

"... the reaction. Did you also know? [M] Yes, it's a different world dining room."

It is' just like myself, I serve delicious dishes I have never eaten, I saw a race that is not an elf '.

To Faldania's reaction, Christian realized that his hypothesis was correct.

The sound of chillin 'chillin' and magic activating.

Listening to the sound, Cristian and Faldania knocked at the door of the Dining Room of the Other World.

"Welcome... that's a rare combination"

The store owner sees a new customer and says just one word.

The store owner has also seen it in movies and TV, to the usual elf-like young man's regular, elf-like daughter who has come from time to time for the past year or so.

These two coming at the same time is a pattern that has never existed before.

"Oh, she's my friend's daughter. I'm having a treat today... oh, as usual, I'll ask for two nut spas without eggs."

Once, half reflexively put the word out of bitter memories of eating eggs, Kristian orders.

"Yes, sir."

The shopkeeper nods at the words too and pulls them into the back.

"Nat Us Spa...... is that Elf's edible dish too?

Faldania, who was watching that series of flows, asks Kristian with a rugged face.

The edible dish of elves... I didn't think there was anything other than toffee steak and yakionigiri that didn't use meat, fish, eggs, or milk.

(How many stocks does this store have?!?

The same bottomlessness of this store makes me feel agitated.

"... the nut spa smells a little unique. It's not popular with other customers. I'm usually the one asking for it."

Explain it to Faldania like that.

I have the courage inside to ask for a substitute that says' noodle dish with sauce hung with rotten beans' in the first place in the menu section.

When Christian first came to this store, too, he would not have spoken if the young shopkeeper, who had just inherited the store, had not recommended it as a 'dish without meat, fish, eggs or milk'.

... I've also been a big fan of this dish since I first asked for it.

And that's coming.

"Thank you for waiting! I brought you a nut spa!

It would be pretty young to look about the same age as the two, with the Demon tribe payroll lining it up before the two.

Light and yellow noodle dish.

There is plenty of sauce on top where beans similar to earthy elf beans are carved, like thinly chopped black paper and colored with dark green, smelly herbs.

"Come on, let's eat it. It's okay. As far as I can tell, this dish is delicious."

That's all I'm saying, Kristian takes the silver fork and tackles the nut spa.

Gently stir the nuts on top and the lower noodles with a fork.

That's how you mix plenty of nut sauce in the noodles, roll them up for a bite and transport them to your mouth.

- Yeah. Delicious.

The nut spa was delicious as usual.

The unique stickiness, aroma and tannins of nuts that are finally completing something similar in Mori capital these days.

Unlike salt, it is richly flavoured, mixed with some kind of spiciness that would be pre-mixed with the shoyu sauce of this store with the addition of sea grass broth.

And like raw herbs and black paper with a strong habit used...... still a fragrant taste of grass that can be taken at sea.

It intertwines with noodles that are pale and barely taste like wheat in themselves, making it one dish.

(Apparently she liked it too)

Eating it, Kristian sees Faldania sitting in the seat in front of him.

Faldania is also eating it silently again.

You don't think it tastes bad. Eating momentum is about the same as Christian's.

The nut spa disappears from the top of the plate at a visible rate.

(Hmm. Sounds like you're thinking something...?

Second, Kristian realizes that.

Faldania was savoring the nut spa as she thought of something.

(Are you looking into the flavor?

Well, if you say you're studying cooking, you're also loud about the taste of cooking.

Think so, Kristian devotes herself to the nut spa in front of her.

He doesn't know yet. what my daughter in front of me thinks and does after this.

The incident happened after I finished eating nut spa.

When I finished my meal and later just waited for my bill, this is what Faldania did for the demons who came to lower their plates.

"The nut used for this noodle, I say... I'd like to try it with rice, could you please?

Extremely light, as is normal.

(Hey, what the fuck!?

Cristian, on the other hand, was stunned by Faldania's words.

A nut is what you eat as a noodle sauce.

That's what I've been doing for 10 years believing in common sense.

Are you trying to cover it up?

(Oh, that's impossible! There was no menu in this store for 'Nut Ulysses'!

But the servants of the devil gently tilt their necks to the words, saying:

"Uh... please wait a minute. I'll ask the master."

And pull into the back and often.

"Oh man... we're still westerners"

Whimpering about that, the shopkeeper himself brings it.

White rice served modestly in a smaller bowl.

Small plates served with chopped dark green herbs and small plates with yellow ones on them.

A bottle made slightly different from the one at the table.

And...... nuts left with grains of beans, served in a bowl.

The shopkeeper lines them up in front of Faldania, he says.

"Stir the natto often, then add this bottle of stock soy sauce, then hang it on the rice.

Please adjust this onion and spicy pepper as desired. If you put too much pepper in it, it's pretty hard, so please put it in a little bit. "

"Yeah. Okay. Oh, and take it home and make some yakionigiri.

Three miso for flavoring and two for the rest. "

"Yes. Two sets of grilled rice balls with an extra spring onion miso."

That's all I tell them, and once again the store owner tries to get back behind the store.

"Shh, I'm sorry! Give me the same thing...... I want nuts and rice!

Look at that, Kristian asks for it again, reflexively.

"Yes. Please wait a moment."

And the same thing is placed before Cristian.

"Mm-hmm! I knew it! This nut is awesome with Rice!

Fardania savours nut rice with a childish trick in front of her.

With a slight impatience for it, Christian also embarks on the task of making it.

Stir the nuts with the fork. Stirring makes it stickier and stronger, but doesn't care and tighter.

Then add the same sauce as the one that would be used to season the Dashishoyu...... nut spa and stir further.

Finally, follow the store owner's advice on green herbs and yellow ones one by one… try them immediately and adjust the flavor carefully while judging.

(... it's a nut indeed. And take this...)

Add to the salty air of Dashishoyu a small amount of something called a rasp that was used as a hidden flavor, even with the texture and noodles of the herbs teething that say leeks, and add spiciness.

This was not the first time I had eaten only nuts in this world, but this was also delicious.

At the end of the day, hang the nuts on the rice that have come to fully match Christian's taste.

And then Nat carries the rice on to his mouth...... Kristian's eyes are stunned.

It was good.

The flavour of the earth, held by nuts.

It... adds more flavor by pairing it with warm white rice.

It's a combination of Christian and Edmond, by analogy... a long time accompanied, perfect match for each other as best friends.

The faintly sweet, rustic rice flavor is transformed into a finished flavor by combining it with nuts with a strong overall aroma and flavor.

Nat 'u was born to make nut 'u rice.

It tasted so good that it even made it such a sudden idea.

This flavour is a flavour of defeat for Christian.

The daughter of my best friend Edmond in front of me...... see the girl who surpassed herself in terms of exploring the flavor, even though not even a third of Cristian is alive.

Greed for the flavour of cooking, the idea of not being imprisoned by common sense, and the courage to take it as a reckless attempt to be resolute…

(Oh, this means you're young...)

Convinced. The girl in front of me is no longer… an elf seeker in front of her.

After finishing his meal and leaving from another world cafeteria, Cristian gave Faldania one piece of information.

"Huh!? Rice and it's in our world!?

Faldania was stunned by Christian's words.

It was unexpected that Rice would be in this world.

Faldania has been traveling for a year.

It was not found in the Siena Forest, my hometown, and it was all over the Elf Forest and the Human City, but I never saw it grow or sell comedy.

"Oh, there is. On the western continent, rice used for rice is a very commonly eaten crop."

Christian nods heavily at the words of Faldania.

Much longer than Faldania...... Kristian knew at one point that he was traveling for about a hundred years.

Rice is little grown and unfamiliar on the eastern continent where the Faldanians live, but rice is made more than wheat on the western continent and is eaten on a daily basis.

Taste is a far cry from rice in a different world cafeteria, but it is nevertheless definitely a similar crop.

"Heh... it was..."

Hearing Christian's words, determination dwells in Faldania's eyes.

rice. This crop is what Faldania is looking for.

In order to complete "Cooking Beyond the Cooking of Different World Restaurants," we will definitely need it in the future.

It was the moment of her next journey.

(Oh, you're still young)

Cristian was determined to send something to Faldania that burned with determination.

"Faldania. Give this to you."

Inside, give them a small jar containing Kristian's secret items.

"What is this... Huh? No way is this... a little different than it's used for yakionigiri... miso?

... I don't think so. If you rot the elf beans, you can make them if you ferment them instead!?

Faldania, who checks inside, perceives who she is from the reddish earthy look and smell, and raises her alarmed voice.

It then dramatically raises the rating of The Study of Elf Bean Fermentation, which is carried out by Christian in front of him.

I didn't think of it. To say that one of those fascinating seasonings of the other world, miso, can be made if the elf beans are fermented.

"Oh, you're right. It's a miso of elf beans, completed by chance in years of research."

Kristian nods.

"How to make it no coincidence" is now being studied… i.e., more than what is here now is a precious product that does not exist in this world.

"Take it... apparently this is what you like?

"... really, from what, thank you"

With a slightly touching face, Faldania softly receives the cuckoo and packs it in a magic bag.

It's a precious item. Use it with care.

With that in mind.

"Well then... you're coming"

"Oh, you should come. Even with an elf raw, it's vast enough to say the world."

Faldania embarks on a journey again, watched by Kristian.

Beyond the sea is the way to go. Another continent.

Fardania's journey of exploration is still ongoing.
