Chapter 24 (2/2)

[Natto Spaghetti… it's also a food that the elves can eat?]

While watching the flow of events, Faldania asked grimly

Other than Tofu Steak and Yakionigiri, she did not know any other food that did not use s or milk

(How many foods are there in this restaurant!?)

The extraordinariness of this restaurant still increased her impatience

[…Natto Spaghetti has a peculiar smell It is not popular with other customers I usually order this]

He explained such to Faldania

To begin with, it was very courageous to ask the food which was described “noodle dish topped with sauce which uses rotten beans” in the menu box

When Christian came to this restaurant for the first tioho just succeeded the store

…Although he became the first fan of this dish after he ate it

And then, it came

[Sorry I hetti!]

A young deht their food

Thin and yellow noodle dishes

Poured on top was sauce using soil-coloured elf beans along with thinly cut dark green smelly herb

[Well then, let's eat Don't worry, this dish is very delicious]

To that extent, Christian took a silver fork and started on his Natto Spaghetti

Lightly stir the Natto on top with the noddle at the botto a fork

Aftera forkful into the mouth and chew

— Yup Delicious

Natto Spaghetti was as delicious as usual

Recently sis were rance and astringency of Natto

The saltiness of Shoyu sauce of this restaurant, which was different frorass and created a rich flavor

Along with the taste of sea grass… was raw herb and black pepper

It was so pale that it became one dish with almost no taste of wheat but the flavor intertwined with the noodles

(Apparently she likes it)

While eating it, Christian observed Faldania as seating in front of him

She was also eating silently

She did not think it was unpleasant, eating at the same pace as Christian

The Natto Spaghetti was eaten at considerable speed

(H…?)

Suddenly Christian noticed it

Faldania was eating her food while thinking so

(I wonder if she's pondering the taste?)

Well, if she's studying about cooking, she would be picky about the taste

Thinking so, Christian concentrated on his food in front of him

He still didn't know What the girl in front of hi

The incident occurred after they finished eating

When thefor the bill, Faldania asked the waitress as retrieving the empty plates

[Say, the natto used in this noodle dish… I would like to eat it with rice Can I order it?]

As it was normal, it was extremely easy

(Wha, what!?)

Christian was astonished

Natto was eaten with noodles

He believed that for the last 10 years

That sense was overturned so easily

(Ah, impossible! There was no dish of ”Natto Rice” written on the menu!)

But the dehtly tilted her head to those words

[Err… Please wait a bit I'll ask the owner]

She retreated to the back for a while

[Okay… this is a Western restaurant though]

While ht it

White rice served discreetly in a small bowl

A sreen herbs and a yellow paste

A bottle htly different from the ones on the table

And… a bowl of Natto

The owner placed them in front of Faldania and said,

[Stir the Natto with the soy sauce in the bottle and pour it onto the white rice Add the green onion and the mustard as you like They're spicy so add them little by little]

[Yes, I understand Ah, I want to take away Yakionigiri too 3 Miso4 Onigiri5 and the other 2 in any flavor]

[Okay I'll i6 miso flavor]

After replying, the owner retreated to the back

[Ex, excuse … the rice with natto!]

Looking at the situation, Christian ordered in a reflex

[Okay Please wait a moment]

And the sa was placed in front of Christian

[Well~! As expected! Natto really matches ith rice!]

In front of hiesture

Feeling slightly impatient, Christian started to work on his food

He stirred the Natto steadily and fir a fork

Next was dashi+shoyu7… the sahetti was added and he continued to stir the Natto

Finally, following the owner's advice to add the green herbs and yellow paste little by little… tasting thethe taste carefully

(…It's certainly Natto And this…)

The stickiness and flavor of Natto with the saltiness of dashi+shoyu, along with the reen onion, it's spicy

It was the first time he ate Natto by itself, but it was also delicious

Finally, the Natto that was adjusted to Christian's taste was poured onto the rice

Then, the rice with Natto was carried to Christian's mouth He was stunned

It was delicious

The taste of earth from the Natto

That… along with the hite rice, the flavor was enhanced

It's an outstanding compatibility… for example like best friends comparable to Christian and Ed time

The slightly sweet and si scent, the taste transformed into a finished state

Natto was created to be eaten with rice

It was such a taste that created that outrageous idea

To Christian, this taste onderful

The daughter of his close friend Edirl who exceeded hie was a third of Christian's

Greediness for the taste of food, thoughts unrestrained by coe…

(Aa, this is youth…)

He's convinced The girl in front of him was already… an independent elf seeker

After finishi+ng their ave Faldania one information

[E!? Rice also exists in our world!?]

Faldania was astonished

It was unexpected that rice was also grown in their world

Faldania had been travelling for a year

It did not exist in her ho her travels around elven forests and hurown or sold anywhere

[Oh, there is In the Western Continent, rice was their staple food]

Christian nodded heavily

Longer than Faldania… there was a time when he traveled for around 100 years

Rice was rarely grown or seen at the Eastern Continent where Faldania lived, but at the Western Continent, rice was grown more than wheat and was eaten on a daily basis

The taste was far different fro hall, but it was the same plant

[He~e… is that so…]

Listening to Christian, determination shone in Faldania's eyes

Rice This crop was the one that Faldania sought

In order to complete ”a meal that exceeds the foods of otherworld cafeteria”, it was absolutely necessary in the future

It was the moment her next destination was decided

(Aa, youth)

Seeing the deter

[Faldania, I give you this]

He passed a s Christian's treasure

[What's… this? Don't tell iri but… Miso? … Don't tell me the way to make Miso is to rot elf beans, no, to ferment them!?]

Looking inside, Faldania confirmed the identity of the reddish brown paste from the appearance and the smell and felt surprised

Her evaluation of ”research of ferreatly

She did not know To think that Miso which is one of the fascinating seasonings used at otherworld dining hall could beelf beans

[Aa, that's right Elf bean Miso was created by chance during my years of research]

Christian nodded

The way of ” it by chance” was currently researched… that was the valuable item that did not exist anywhere else in that world

[Take it… apparently this is your favourite?]

[… Really, thank you for everything, thank you]

Faldania gently received the pot and stuffed it inside herwith an impressed face

It's a valuable item She would use it carefully

She thought so

[Well then… I'll come back someday]

[Aa, you should go Even when you have the lifespan of an elf, it is extravagant to explore the world]

Sent off by Christian, Faldania resumed her journey
