Chapter 306 How Long Will This Last? (1/2)
While flipping through the guidebook Kuro gave me, I think about what shop we could visit.
I don’t have time to read through the book page by page, so I would make a rough selection based on the illustrations and rating stars.
A shop where seasonal dishes are recommended, but it isn’t suitable for this time of the year. A shop that is open only at night. I tried to find a restaurant as close as possible to where we are now, excluding those that require reservations…… and found two choices.
One is a very exclusive restaurant which Kuro rated as 8 stars…… A fairly high rating. Reservations aren’t required, but the price is high and the portions are small for the price, but the taste of their food is described as first class.
Kuro rated the other one with 5 stars…… 3 stars lower than the earlier restaurant. The restaurant isn’t really that extraordinary, but it serves fine cuisine and is located in a somewhat secluded area, so we apparently don’t need to have a reservation. The most eye-catching thing is that the food in this restaurant is said to be very large in quantity and can be eaten with gusto.
Both restaurants are reasonably close to where we are now, so either of these two candidates would be fine.
The question is which one to choose…… The 8-star for luxury or the 5-star for quantity. Well, they are both high ranking restaurants, but it’s about making a comparison between quantity or quality.
[……Hey, Alice.]
[What is it?]
[Would you rather eat a lot of food at a reasonably good restaurant or a small portion at a superb restaurant……?]

[Fumu…… Well, this Alice-chan is a woman who clearly knows the difference. Let’s go with more quantity!!!]
[……………….]
A powerful response with no hesitation at all. Yes, I’ve had this feeling that she would choose this but…… As I thought, she’s someone who would choose quantity over quality……
Since this dinner is for Alice anyway, I’m OK with whatever she wants.
[Alright then, let’s go to this shop.]
[Yeeeeess…… Let me see? Hooohhh, if it isn’t that shop with the meat tower! This is a great shop.]
[Meat tower?]
[Just as its name says, it’s a tower of meat.]
I- I don’t really know but, that sounds like something that would be sought for by those who eat large amounts of food. As a self-proclaimed maiden, why the heck are your eyes glittering when you think about that meat tower?

After ten minutes of walking from the Arts Plaza, we arrived at our destination.
The inside of the restaurant is made of wood and has a calm atmosphere, and as expected of a high-class restaurant, I can feel a sense of elegance around the place.
However, there aren’t so many customers in the restaurant. No wonder it’s called a little-known good place…… The only thing that bothers me is that there are so many large build customers in this store.
Thinking about it, the door of the store is quite large. That should mean that this store might be specializing in serving large-bodied Demons.
Then, the waitress led us to our seats and I decided to order that meat tower that Alice had mentioned.
[Please choose what volume you would like to have. There’s half, normal, double, quintuple, and tenfold.]
[……Alice.]
[Tenfold!]
[Very well. Well then, please wait for a moment.]

This freaking woman…… She didn’t even hesitate to choose tenfold. Even the waitress-san was looking twice at Alice…… As expected, looking at her size, it doesn’t seem like she could eat this meat tower with ten times the size……
As we waited, chatting with Alice for a little while, the door in the back opens…… The waitress brought “along six people” as they brought a huge plate, where a mountain of meat piled up on it.
T- That is the meat tower huh…… I see, that literally is a tower of meat.
I began observing the giant tower of meat on the table. This tender-looking, beautiful log of meat, which I can tell is high-quality at first glance, I don’t know if roast beefs are supposed to look like this, but it looks like a tower made of red jewels.
The tower of meat is surrounded by decorative slices of vegetables and garnished with colorful sauces in the crevices between them, making it look gorgeous.
[……T- This is amazing……]
[It’s because this store is very popular with the Ogres and Orcs.]
[That somehow certainly makes a lot of sense.]
This is the ten-times size huh…… I probably won’t be able to eat even one serving of that.

It’s a beautiful cuisine, brimming with high classiness…… But as I said, the size really is out of the ordinary, so I was rather taken aback, but Alice was looking at it with glitter in her eyes.
[Well then, let’s eat.]
[Yes! ……Ahh.]
[Unnn?]
[……………..]
If Alice is happy, then I’m happy as well, so I’m going to eat sparingly so that she can taste it well. Just as I was about to start eating, thinking about that.
Thereupon, for some reason, Alice’s expression changed to a look of contemplation abd her eyes began to scurry about.
[Is something the matter?]
[……Uuuuuu, uuuuuuu…… P- Please wait a moment! I’m gathering my resolve now.]

[……Resolve?]
Concerned about Alice, who wasn’t touching the food yet, I asked her, but she didn’t tell me what’s happening.
Her cheeks are also slightly blushing, could she be nervous? Resolve, she said, what exactly did she need to be ready for?
[……It’s alright…… I can do this…… If it’s me…… I can do this……]
[O- Oi, Alice?]
[Kaito-san and I are lovers…… it’s alright……]
[Oiiiiiii~~]
It seems like my voice isn’t reaching Alice, as she was mumbling something while looking down.
After Alice continued to mumble something for a little while, she dramatically raised her face and pointed her fork at the meat tower.
