Cabbage Rolls

Feeling the bleak wind of chilling winter passing through the holes of her frayed hooded cloak that was no better than her rags of clothes under it, Sarah reflexively trembled

[So cold!]

She unintentionally screa at the road that seemed to continue endlessly

(It was supposed to be this way…)

Ever since she left her ho time The city where Saria could live in peace was far away, her shoes were so worn down that there was a hole on it, and even when she walked with trails of blood trickling down her wounded legs, there was no sign that she would arrive soon

(So hungry…)

As she walked, her sto hed

There was nothing , and at the same time, there were only a few copper coins inside her wallet

It was obvious that she would dry up quickly if she couldn't find her older brother somehow as soon as she arrived at the capital

(Onii-chan, I hope you're still alive…)

She thought about various things to forget the pain of walking

Saria decided to leave for the city after receiving an invitation froo

Unlike Saria, her older brother received a superior protection for fighting and said he would like to test his strength before stealing the sword their great-grando and ran away from home

Then he came to the capital and became an adventurer, so he succeeded… it seemed

She thought that that brother of hers beca to a hue, it seemed that he set up a small shop in the capital, married a beautiful woman and lived happily

That's why, Saria decided to leave their hometown to rely on her brother

While she couldn't fight well, she was confident in the robustness of her body and her good eyesight, so she decided to go to the capital alone

(I already had lunch… I wonder if I can arrive by the evening)

Although she could hear in the dark, it was still scary for a woman to camp alone

She would like to enter the capital before that if possible

Thinking that, she quickened her pace, and at that time

(E? What is that?)

Suddenly it appeared in front of her, Saria who narrowed her eyes due to the brightness of daylight was very surprised

A black door standing ahway road

Standing alone a the forest trees, Saria could see the picture of a cat on the black door

(What is that…)

Saria who originally had strong curiosity approached the door and observed it

Even if it's at the forest, there was neither mud nor dust on it, a beautiful black door

Saria touched the well-polished door handle

[…Eii]

Turning the handle, it seemed that the door was not locked and it opened with a bell sound

[…Ah]

Her storowled

The door opened to a bright room that was blurry, so she couldn't tell what's inside

However, a war smell leaked from inside

Saria unintentionally stepped through the door and entered an unknown place

[Waa…]

The moment she came inside, the inside of the blurred room became clear and Saria's pupils narrowed

In the roo food

[You don't understand! The cutest grandchild in this world is Sarah!]

[What are you talking about? My grandchild Adelheid is the pride of the Edom]

While sipping solass cup of beer, two elderly randchild was the cutest

[Hou Not bad It's regrettable that you're not crushed by humans yet]

[Even if you're a high priest of Light, you're having the tiin of Umeshu that's the recent rumour of the Principality]

In the vicinity, there was a cal cups with a speed

[So, what are you talking about?]

[Aa, Ellen It's almost time…]

While considering whether to finish theman who does not see so at a woman with similar life condition

(What is this place? …A restaurant?)

Perhaps it's a restaurant Even though she had never seen the cuisine before

The scent of warm food served in the restaurant tickled her nose and rowl

[Welcome, customer Is this your first time?]

She was du out to her, Saria's shoulders trembled and she looked at the source of the voice

Standing in front of her was a young hu a little older than Saria

His hair and body were clean, and his clean white shi+rt and black pants were ed clothes

The young man also directed a friendly smile towards Saria that couldn't be described as beautiful and waited for her answer

[A, ano… yes]

Saria responded while looking down… it would be bad if he saw her face

[Well then… welcome to Western restaurant Nekoya Let me show you to your seat]

Hearing Saria's answer, the uide her to a seat with a smile

[A! That… I'h money with me…]

Although she was charmed by the promise of food, Saria excused herself

She only had a few coppers left in her wallet That much money could only buy her a cup of alcohol at a bar at the end of a day where even Saria with her ragged clothes could enter

That's why, there's no way she could afford the food here

[Aa, that's alright For a first-time customer, we can serve whatever food on hand for free]

However, the

[E?]

[The thing is, the entrance of this restaurant is strange and no one thought that it was an entrance of a restaurant at first That's why, there areany money, and they don't knohether they would like the food or not, so the first fee is free]

Seeing Saria's surprised face, the man explained the system of the restaurant

[That's why it's fine for now, so why don't you have soood reputation]

While saying such, he led her to a beautifully arranged table
