Chapter 13: Sandwich
In the Other World Dining Hall, there are a fair nuulars
They live in various places in the Other World and use the ‘doors’ that they have found and secured themselves, and once every seven days, they visit the Other World Dining Hall when it opens And like that, customers can satisfy themselves with the Other World’s food as a part of their daily lives
While having the characteristic of ic, the Other World Dining Hall’s doorsthe place they appear
In the middle of the city or the street, they rarely appear in places that are easily accessible such as inside of a castle, and the doors are usually found standing alone in hard-to-reach places that are separated fro them, there are doors that have not even been used once since they first appeared
With such circu Hall’s custoe people froulars that were gathered from every nook and cranny of the world make sure that they rarely interfere with one another Even if there were celebrities with nahout the world or even if there were existences that were akin to natural enemies with how bad their relationshi+ps with one another were, it was common courtesy to pretend to not see each other
At any rate, this is the Other World The co it should not be what they should doing Speaking of that, bad behavior will make you receive an ‘entrance ban’ froht where you couldn’t enter the restaurant ever again Because of that, regulars norot their quarrels and respected one another, and if a custolance, they would be stopped fro, there are exceptions
The custoulars usually have at least one ‘favorite food’ which they can’t stop loving that becomes the source of their nickname
And everyone firmly believes that their ‘favorite food’ is thein the restaurant… and whenever there’s a discussion about which one is tastier, it usually becomes a quarrel This day just so happened to be one of those days
“Hah!? What are you saying? Even though you don’t knohat it tastes like when you leave it until et soaked into the bread and cutlet!”
“That’s ! The perfect co that can’t be beaten even if it’s cold!”
The ones quarreling were ‘Minced Cutlet,’ a young wo soht that was still young but had a well-trained body wearing a renowned sword and well-tailored clothes, two regulars who recently started to come to the restaurant coan to quarrel was because they by chance sat in nearby seats
“H about?”
‘Teriyaki’, the samurai who came after and didn’t understand the situation, asked his close friend at this restaurant ‘Roast Cutlet,’ a old regular as as skinny as a dead tree
“Oh Apparently it’s about which one is tastier when you put it in a ‘sandwich’”
Like always, Roast Cutlet was drinking the Other World’s ale, draft beer, fro as he answered It all started when the two of the ‘sandwiches’ filled with their favorite food for takeout
—A type of food where various ingredients were put bethite bread
Delicious even when cold
Easy to take it with you
For the description of a sandwich in the e, these were the words that ritten These so-called various ingredients implied were a tricky subject and made it so that there were a vast variety of sandwiches, and if you asked the Owner, he couldbesides the soups into a tasty sandwich
Just so you know, the three normal kinds of sandwiches that the restaurant had was finely hashed eggs dressed with etables, and ulars would order a sandith their favorite food In another sense, the sandwiches could be considered a hidden menu for the restaurant
“Good grief They’re arguing about that?”
At hearing that, Teriyaki let out a deep sigh Absolutely pointless To get that worked up over so like the different kinds of sandwiches
“I hear you… At this rate, I won’t be able to eat until they stop”
As they said that, these two friends stood up fro people
“Like I said! Minced cutlet tastes the best! The ood even when cold you know! The thinly-minced meat is filled with meaty juices, and when you bite and chew into it, all those the juices flow out And co that’s aletables, it’s so!”
Minced Cutlet would not budge a single step The gift she received the first time she visited this restaurant were some minced cutlet sandwiches The sandwiches which were completely cold because she left them alone for a while had the deliciousness of minced cutlet but also a hard-to-differentiate flavor to them After that, every time she came to the restaurant, she would always order some for takeout
“Hdo you before, schripe and tartar sauce! This co that can be shaken up fro cooled down! Every time you bite into the shrimp cutlet which is made of chewy schripe, the sweet flavor of schripe spreads all over your mouth! It then properly mixes with the sourness of the tartar sauce and becomes a wonderful flavor! And did you know? This restaurant’s shrietables and a green leafy vegetables! That’s why after you bite into it, the white etables and red fruits gives it an appetizing appearance! The flavor is, of course, so that can’t be compared to minced cutlet which is just brown on the outside and the inside!”
Fried Shrile step back either The second tiht about the hidden endary master fencer he ith at the time The most delicious schripe fried dish at this restaurant is sandwiched in bread and would show a different kind of allure when left over ti that couldn’t be beaten by the many dishes at this restaurant, even minced cutlet which was delicious in its oay
To the two of theiven to them
“Hey, hey You two, don’t argue so much”
“This is a place to enjoy yourlike a spice to enjoy your o too far, you’ll ruin the flavor of the food”
At those words, the two of the and becareat heroes of the past, the kingdoreat sage On the other, you had the wandering master fencer frohout the world Being admonished by the two people ere one of the ulars instinctively became quiet
“…Yeah I guess I did say too much… I think shrimp cutlet is delicious in its oay”
“No, it’s ize… People have their own preferences after all”
The two of theh it was clear that they still were reluctant when they said it At those two, they re the previous owner’s era where Teriyaki and Roast Cutlet would have arguments over food
(How nostalgic Thinking about it, we also had disputes about which food was delicious)
(That guy Minced Cutlet also said ht with that guy Croquette… It must be in the blood)
And so the tere re about their past, fired words of adet riled up
“That’s exactly right Minced cutlet and shrimp cutlet are definitely delicious But thesandwiched in bread has to be a roast cutlet sandwich”
“It’s best to eat cutlet while it’s still hot What goes best in a sandwich has to be teriyaki which tastes good even when cold
…The two veterans reflexively looked at each other With faces of astonishment
“…You, weren’t you absolutely a part of the rice faction? To being with, if you put teriyaki in bread… hoould it taste?”
Roast cutlet asked Teriyaki who standing next to hi Normally, when Teriyaki would order his favorite teriyaki chicken, it would be with rice, and he would only order bread on a hen he was having a different dish Thinking along those lines, a teriyaki chicken sandas out of his expectations… In the first place, he had to keep in mind whether the sweet and salty soy sauce flavor of teriyaki chicken would go ith bread
“You too Nor but beer and roast cutlet Why are you talking about putting roast cutlet into bread?”
On the other side, Teriyaki also asked surprised He knew that Roast Cutlet would always come earlier than he would and stay later than he would, but he only saw hi that time
Sometimes he would eat a different dish, but in that case, he still would have beer and never anything sandwiched in bread He knew bread and cutlet had a good affinity for one another, but Roast Cutlet ordering that was out of his expectations The two of them, still in disbelief at each other’s choices, continued to speak out their respective answers
“No, no I get one roast cutlet sandwich for takeout every etables, only cutlet, sauce, and s sandwiched in bread when they’re cold Exactly because it’s cold, you can enjoy thefroets wrapped up in soft bread And the spiciness of just a little bit of ”
Roast Cutlet explained his soht when the restaurant is about to close, alon would come, he would leave and sleep… and endure until noon the next day to eat his roast cutlet sandwich Coular bread, it was heavy The roast cutlet which soaked in plenty of sauce was bulky and would be like a stone in his sto of fullness Roast cutlet was his long time ‘favorite’ midday treat ever since the previous owner’s era
“No, no Although I recently learned this… teriyaki goes ith bread That sweet and salty tare sauce covering the thin slices of teriyaki chicken and fresh cule And the fresh raw onions which are sandwiched in bread with butter and ether In the first place, I heard bread with teriyaki is very popular in this Other World”
Teriyaki’s side wouldn’t lose as well Previously, when he ith Fried Shriht hinificent flavor that broke down his prejudice that bread and teriyaki did not cole blow
The both of the stubborn scowled at each other and it did not take ue
Like this, arguments started to burn their way to the other customers in the restaurant
Frotime comers to the newcoe nuulars would come, each of them told their own favorites to each other
“…If you’re going to have a sandwich, I would absolutely have a napolitan dog using a hotdog bun Did you know? The napolitan at this restaurant isto be in a sandwich That way, the sweet and sour ketchup flavor of napolitan doesn’t lose to the bread, and it becomes the means to the best flavor”
