Chapter 363 She Has Quite the Business Acumen, Doesnt She? (1/2)

It seemed like Kuro and Dr. Vier were still talking with each other, so Neun-san and I passed the time chatting.

After a while, I started to feel hungry.

[I’m kinda hungry.]

[Me too. I was moving around a lot today…… Embarrassing as it may be, I’m also hungry.]

Now that the matter with Dr. Vier had been settled, the tension disappeared and my stomach growled in hunger.

I’d really like to have something to eat, but I couldn’t just go to the Friendship City in the presence of Neun-san. Although I say that, I also didn’t feel like going home yet.

[Hmmm. I wonder if there’s something I could eat here?]

I figured that there should at least be some white rice and pickled daikon radish in my magic box. As I made the magic box appear in my palm, Alice appeared right at that moment.

[……Alice?]

[………………….]

Alice silently took out a piece of wood from nowhere, and after her hand seemed to glow for a moment, a rather magnificent stall had been suddenly erected.

On top of the stall, there was a sign that read “Alice-chan’s Tasty Food Stall”.

[Incidentally, the price of our products’ special value “includes the travel expenses”!]

[……]

……This f*cking b*stard. Just a few days passed and she had become quite good at doing business huh…… She even set up two chairs at the counter.

No matter how I look at it, it looks like she would try to rip us off. Unfortunately though, it’s working very well for us.

Neun-san and I looked at each other, before only letting out a sigh of resignation. We then sat down at the counter seats.

[Welcome~~ Here’s the menu.]

[……Unnn?]

[Errr…… Phantasmal King-sama? What in the world is this?]

[It is just as written there, you know?]

With a big smile on her face, Alice handed us the menu with just the words “Anything: Market Value”. Does that mean she’ll cook whatever we want, but the price depends on what item we order?

I knew that Alice is amazing…… but can she really make any kind of item?

Perhaps sensing my doubts, Alice fearlessly smiled and spoke.

[Oya? Are you doubting me? Well then, how about we make a deal? ……If I can’t make what you ask, or if it doesn’t taste good, “that meal is free”. However, if it’s good…… How about “one gold coin” per meal?]

[One gold coin…… Are you trying to overcharge me again?]

[It’s not that I’m doubting Phantasmal King-sama…… but I’m picky about Japanese food, you know?]

If she couldn’t make the dish that Neun-san and I ordered, it would be free, and if she could make it well, it would be one gold coin…… That’s 1 million yen. Alice seemed like she was quite confident though.

However, I don’t think the odds are against us. If it’s a dish that doesn’t exist in this world, even if it’s Alice we’re talking about, there’s no way that she will be able to make it.

[…..Okay. I’ll take that bet.]

[As expected of Kaito-san, always easy to talk with~~ Well then, please place your order……]

[W- Well then, I’ll have “sushi”.]

When I told her that I’d take her bet, Alice smiled deeply and prompted me to order.

Following her words, Neun-san ordered sushi…… Isn’t that quite a good order? Rice meals aren’t common in this world after all.

I’ve seen sashimi being served in the Hydra Kingdom before, but I don’t remember ever seeing sushi. It also takes quite the skill to make a tasty sushi.

Just as I thought that Neun-san was getting a free meal……

[If it’s nigiri sushi you’re looking for, we have regular, top-tier and special. Which one would you like?]

[Mhmm……W- Well then, I’ll take the special one……]

[Yes, yes.]

However, contrary to my expectations, Alice simply asked which type of nigiri sushi she wanted. T- This woman…… She knows about sushi. S- Should I say that it’s to be expected from the Phantasmal King……

No, not yet. It’s still unclear how it tastes. I’ve heard that Neun-san is very picky about Japanese food, so she won’t just easily accept just anything……

Immediately after I thought this, a beautiful set of nigiri sushi was placed in front of Neun-san.

Looking at the nigiri sushi…… Neun-san silently took out a gold coin from her pocket and placed it on the counter.

[……It’s my loss.]

[Thank you for your patronage~~]

[Eh? N- Neun-san!? You still haven’t tasted it though, right!?]
