Chapter 83 Part2 (1/2)

“Speaking of which, what have you requested there all of a sudden? Though it’s great it was accepted”

“You know, the per, and there are benefits as well” (Wendelin)

◆◇◆◇◆

With Therese's request for reinforceranted, we decide to leave Mizuho Castle and sightsee in Mizuho

As it seeh-class hot-spring hotel which has open air baths available at night, I look forward to this as well

To the spa and delicious japanese cuisine, that is

Just how much luxury is that, I wonder?

Given that we are only staying for one night, I have to start the sightseeing and the selection of souvenirs in a hurry

As it’s no good if I don’t eat delicious food, I don’t even have a second to lose now

I rush to the dom currency into that of Mizuho

The copper coins are square with a round hole in the a silver quarter ryou fro a koban itself, ten gold coins are a large koban which is called 『Ten Ryou』 ooban (T/N: A ryou was a gold currency unit in pre-Meiji japan Shakkanhou system It was eventually replaced with a systeunate atteold, silver and copper units all exchangeable at fixed rates Oblong gold coins, called koban, were old, so that koban carried a face value of one ryō The official rate was set in 1609 at one ryō equal to 50 rams) of silver, or 4000 brass coins However, in reality the relative values between gold, silver and brass currencies fluctuates alhout the Edo period (source wiki))

There are differences in their shape, unit system and names, but it’s not overly coold, silver and copper used

Well then, as I’ about the reward soo

“It won’t be fulfilled if we don’t win anyway Even if we get the reward, there won’t be any loss to the empire”

The condition, which I set, is a permission to have direct trade between Baumeister Earldom and Earl Mizuho Country

As there’s also the ic airshi+ps, I will probably just cos with 『Teleportation』, but it means that I’m lawfully allowed to do so

Of course High Earl Mizuho has accepted that unconditionally

But that’s only natural as an increase in sales is a cause for celebrations after all

“You want the products of Earl Mizuho Country that much?” (Ina)

“Yes! If possible I want to buy up all of it!” (Wendelin)

Getting all psyched up, I exchanged an amount of 100 million cents, but upon reflection I cae quantity of goods and food since ill head into battle after this

Instead it’s probably necessary keep the quantity down asthe variety

“First is the tea house I failed to visit” (Wendelin)

“You are quite fixated on that one, aren’t you?” (Katharina)

“I haven’t eaten anything since thisto eat, Katharina?” (Wendelin)

“I will, but…” (Katharina)

Because we cannot visit the tea house at the ridge, we enter one in the city, but the city’s appearance and the tea house’s interior completely looked like a scene from a historical drama

Coo‘s and such while drinking tea

“Welcome to our shop!”

A pretty poster girl, ore an apron and a Mizuho uniform, which resembles a kiirl to attract customers)

Her age probably isn’t that different from ours

Her black hair, which extended down to her hips, was tied up in a bundle in the back She was an orthodox, japanese-styled beauty

That’s a pretty poster girl for you

“What’s your order?”

“Your love, please” (Erwin)

“Err…”

“Humph!”

“Ouuch!”

As the other party is a beautiful girl, Erw immediately tries to pick her up, buthim sit down on his seat forcibly

“Don’t make me lose face!” (Wendelin)

“But, I want to be loved…” (Erwin)

“Did so happen with that man?” (Therese)

“He had his heart broken a little while ago” (Wendelin)

“I see” (Therese)

Therese faced the playboying Erith a slightly sympathetic look

“Even though his face is nice, a woreedy” (Therese)

Therese’s analysis was 120 correct

However, I do believe that she shouldn’t talk about someone else’s matters

“Excuse me, what’s your order?”

It seeuests

Without any care, she asks us about our order

“Tea for everyone! And the entire )

“All of it?”

“Indeed! Everything!” (Ar)

Doushi+ was a free spirit in a different

He orders the shop’s entire menu

As it appears that even the poster girl didn’t anticipate such a development, she’s quite surprised

“Doushi+, can you eat that much?” (Burkhart)

“No worries!” (Ar)

“It’s alright” (Wilma)

Burkhart-san asks while looking worried, but in addition to Doushi+ there’s Wilma here as well

There’s probably no need to worry if it’s at the level of a tea houses' menu

“I will start froo‘s”

Sio‘s with anko in it, and skewered dango‘s in a sweet soy glaze; the sweetness of eating thes me into a maelstrom of deep emotions

“They are delicious, aren’t they, dear?” (Elise)

“I’m inferior to a professional after all, huh?” (Wendelin)

“Next ti the ingredients It’s said that if the climate and soil quality is different, even the same crops taste differently” (Elise)

Certainly, the taste of rice and adzuki beans ht be nice in Earl Mizuho country where the winters are cold

As expected of Elise who is an expert in cooking

She pointed that fact out quickly

“The things you occasionally make, Wend, they were dishes from Mizuho How did you know about those?” (Ina)

“Fro” (Wendelin)

Ina asks a perceptive question, but the library of Breitburg has the feudal lord’s support and boasts of a scale in the number of books collected that ranks second to only the royal capital Stadtburg

As expected, since even Ina hasn’t seen through all the books in the library, she didn’t realize that I’

“Wendelin, thee are interested in books and food? It see” (Therese)

“Therese-dono, are you skilled at cooking?” (Wendelin)

“Somewhat I can’t make too many dishes, but what I can do isn’t limited to trivial dishes either” (Therese)

That’s what Therese says, but since I don’t know her cooking ability there wasn’t anything I could reply to it

If I actually have her , it’s possible that she will eous

Currently I don’t even have tient solution

“The sweet red-bean soup is delicious, but I wonder how they are getting their hands on sugar?” (Luise)

“The sugar is harvested froar beets”

Poster girl-san answers Luise’s question

Given that the sugar coh price as an iar beets in Earl Mizuho Country

It seems that the remains of the squeezed beets are used as fodder for the cattle

“That’s not different froar cane”

“Since its siain” (Katharina)

“Though you are often saying that, Katharina, you actually appear to not weigh much…”

When we eat sweets, Katharina always says that she will become fat if she doesn’t diet

It’s really strange since she isn’t gaining weight like the bourgeois wives of the capital

“Is that so?”

“Mostly the feeling of her cheeks when e her” (Wendelin)

“Wendelin-san…”

Katharina ends up being astonished, but this is also a point I won’t concede on

Although being overweight isn’t good, it’s also a fact that I’m not attracted to overly thin women

However it’s often said that woather in one place

I ate delicious-looking food while talking with Elise and the others, but a an odd scenery

“All of the)

“It’s time for another round” (Wilma)

“Certainly, it is as you say! Onee-san! Get us the entire )

“Once more!?”

While piling up a large a heaps of sweets and even de in the end

Even the poster girl ends up reflexively raising her voice at Doushi+ who ordered the entire menu twice

“You two, are you alright?”

Cutting a single sweet bean jelly into s those, Burkhart-san was truly worried about those thile showing an expression as if he had a sour stomach

“No proble)

“Plenty of room left” (Wilma)

“If you say so…” (Burkhart)

Burkhart-san, who finished eating the sweet bean jelly, was amazed by the appetite of those two

It’s probably supported by his feeling of wanting to drink alcohol soon though

“There were s I ate for the first ti)

“Satisfied” (Wilma)

“That is, if you eat that much…”

Having savoured sweetness at the tea house, we move towards the next shop

Burkhart-san was astonished at Doushi+ and Wilma who ate a dreadful as

“There’s still plenty of food ahead of us, but…”

Certainly, the sweets, which were served in the tea house, were delicious if co skill

Now that I think about it, those were dishes I created by using trial and error while suffering hardshi+ps in the Savage Lands during o to specialists for the best results after all

This ht be necessary to hire a cook from the Mizuho people

I decided that I will consult about this later with High Earl Mizuho

“Don’t fret! My sto)

“Lots of room left here as well” (Wilma)

“Then it’s fine” (Wendelin)

“Is it really!?” (Erwin)

Erho failed to pick up the poster girl, retorts at et other food, it will be problematic if I tell them that they can’t eat it

As it’s i a store, there’s no proble as they can eat

The bill won’t be that large either

“Next is… Found it!” (Wendelin)

『Soba』 is written on a sign curtain hung at the shop’s entrance

I’ to this world

Since it would kick up too much of a fuss and as I would be considered weird, I enter the store’s inside while pretending to have found this store spontaneously

“They serve both, chilled and hot soba”

I enjoy both options, but Elise’s group didn’t order anything but one type

“Get us the entire )

“Looking forward to it” (Wilma)

“All of it, dear customer?”

“Don’t worry since we can eat it without any proble)

“As you wish…”

These two once again surprised the soba restaurant’s onee-san, who came to take our orders

“It’s delicious, you know?”

Since there was soba in the south as well, I tried to obtain andthick pasta noodles

I tried to experi Soba is food you can’t e

Despite that, it can be normally eaten in this Earl Mizuho Country

Going by the current situation, I should be able to greatly look forward to other japanese food, too

However, there’s a single problem

“Even though it’s the long-awaited Mizuho cooking, we can only eat it until to”

Since dinner will be served at the high-class hot-spring hotel High Earl Mizuho prepared for us, I should be able to expect a lot from the alcohol and the food

But, there’s also the trap called dinner and breakfast being at fixed times

I want to eat various dishes until we have to return if possible, but if I overeat too much, dinner won’t fit in my stomach anymore

That’s a seriously troubling matter

“As I have a liuess” (Wendelin)

“Why are you seriously worrying about such stuff…?” (Erwin)

Erw looked atthat he doesn’t comprehend

“If only I could eat as much as Doushi+ and Wilma” (Wendelin)

“Ierous” (Erwin)

I end up being considered a strange fellow by Erw, but I didn’t want to be told that by sonored by the waitress-san even in this soba restaurant

“Then, you try to pick her up, Wend! You will definitely fail!” (Erw)

It’s impossible for me to do that

Even though I have co up girls?

One thing has nothing to do with the other, I believe

And, Erw has forgotten the most important fact

“What kind of stupid stuff are you saying…?”

Though I stopped while thinking damn it, it was already too late

“Erill you do if he really gets deceived by someone because of that?”

“I don’t wish to increase the quarrel over household affairs”

“Useless retainer You can’t even pick up any girls” (Wilma)

“I believe thatlike acting like a playboy, but…” (Katharina)

“damn it! Just where can I find my own looove~~~!?” (Erwin)

Eras called worthless by Elise and the other woan to stress eat soba

“If they are selling noodle sauce and dried noodles, ill be able to eat soba at any time”

“Are you that pleased with it?”

“Yes How about the alcohol, Burkhart-san?”

“This cold alcohol, it’s delicious Let’s buy it and go back” (Burkhart)

Rather than the soba, Burkhart-san apparently liked the japanese sake-like alcohol which he had ordered as supplement

He had another cup of the cold alcohol while eating soba dus as a side dish

“(I saw those kinds of old men in soba restaurants on my days off)” (Wendelin)

Of course that’s an event which happened in japan

“Earl-sa rude just now, did you?” (Burkhart)

“No (isn’t he a perceptive one…) Onee-san, about this alcohol” (Wendelin)

Once I ask the young waitress-san about the alcohol in order to dodge the question, it seeredient

“(I guess it’s japanese rice wine after all)” (Wendelin)

I try to sample it and the taste was the one of japanese sake

“Now then, I’)

“Thanks for the treat Since I’ve heard that it’s healthy to eat moderately, I will stop around here” (Wilma)

Wil dreadful, but I decided that I didn’t hear it

Once we finished our meal at the soba restaurant and left the store, Wile quantity in this place as well, revealed satisfied expressions while stroking their bellies

“I think that’s only natural considering how h” (Erwin)

On this topic, Erw is right hat he’s saying

“Next is shopping, I suppose”

———————————- End of Part 1 ————————————–

Clothes will be first since there are many women, but this is Earl Mizuho Country

As those clothes are basically items which are called Mizuho clothes and use the sa as kimonos, it’s futile if I don’t recall how to fit kimonos

Elise’s group is happily checking ornate hairpins, which had expensive jewels attached to theh-class-looking store which had 『Dry Goods』 written on its signboard, but they decided to buy them on the next occasion

“It’s regrettable, isn’t it? Let’s hire a ”

“I think that’s too extravagant”

“I do have money after all”

I will negotiate with High Earl Mizuho about a uess

“Earl-sama, you usually don’t live very luxuriously, do you?” (Burkhart)

As Burkhart-san says, our usual livelihood isn’t that extravagant

Since we belong to an Earl household, we keep up the minimum of outwards appearance, but the inside isn’t like that at all
