291 # 276 Gourmet Town Donos and Advanced Production Quest.txt (1/2)

The next day, Kaito and the others hated me, but I can't help it if I'm the only one who can go. I want you to work hard on your cooking.

The test is over and I'm off to Donos, the town of gastronomy.

After a fair game of rock-paper-scissors, the members were Aeon, Rian, Wufu, Blanc and Iyuki. It's a good thing the members are still capable of restraining themselves.

''Uh-uh.''

Lily and the others are looking at us with tears in their eyes... I know how you feel, but we can't take them all with us, and we'll have to ask them to give up.

We show our tickets at the Adventurer's Guild and the carriage arrives. Early! And then I was immensely disappointed in the reason for it. In front of the Adventurer's Guild was a single winged white horse.

Definitely a pegasus. I didn't expect to be spoiled in this way, too unexpected. By the way, I couldn't identify it. No, it's already a Pegasus no matter who it is!

By the way, the carriage looks like a royal carriage, too. It's right for Pegasus, but not for us... we feel out of place, not halfway there... we follow the guide and get into the carriage and Pegasus leaves.

On the way, we are given snacks and juice, and Aeon and the others seem happy. They eat well and are great. Lily and the others would definitely be fighting for it.

I look out of the carriage, but there are clouds below. I don't know if I'm going to get any information, but I have no choice, so I eat a candy cookie.

”Uma!

This one's made with almond powder... the almond flavor and the buttery flavor match the crunchy texture... it's a nice job, man.

I enjoyed the snacks at a level I've never had before, even in real life, before arriving at Donos, the city of gastronomy.

In a nutshell, the gourmet town of Donos is a mixture of high-rise buildings and houses of sweets. Aeon and the others are excited.

''Mr. Tact, Mr. Tact!　What is that brown building?

A chocolate fondue fountain.

Aeon asked for a chocolate fondue fountain on the level of the Tokyo Tower... which in real life would never happen. Incidentally, they have cheese, matcha, milk and strawberry in the same building. There are also multiple types of chocolate. Perhaps they have different types of chocolate.

”Tact-senpai!　What is that boat?

A boat full of sashimi.

Rian was curious about the sashimi platter boats, like those served at a dinner at a fancy hotel. However, it's the size of a house. The sashimi looks raw to me, but... is it okay?

'Lord!　What is that pure white castle?

I think it's a wedding cake.

Bran found a wedding cake castle that is truly a wedding cake castle in scale. It also looks raw. I'm afraid it's going to go bad.

”Father!　What is that Mr. Sabik-like thing?

”Softcream. Isetsu?　You're not a Sabik, by the way.

Iyuki found a house-sized soft creme. This is the only thing I thought that there might be a store with a sign like this in real life.

And then Wufu said, ”You really know a lot of things.

You really know your stuff, don't you?

Not so much, I guess.

But cakes and soft-serve ice cream are a concern. Cake sponges are made of flour and whipped cream for decoration. Soft-serve ice cream is supposed to have vanilla essence and whipped cream. I want this.

Afterwards, I headed to the culinary guild I was invited to visit. I wondered what the culinary guild was like in this town's largest building. I thought it was unexpected, but once inside the building, it makes sense.

The inside of the building has become a kitchen and ingredients storage, many cooks were cooking. It's like a vocational school for chefs. That's just my imagination...

Apparently, you can use an elevator to go up. This is the first elevator in the game, and naturally, it's the first time for Aeon and the others to go up. I was surprised at the first elevator, and I smiled at the Aons who hugged me, but the Aons got angry with me.

And when I arrived at the rooftop, there was someone I knew.

Welcome to Donos, the city of gastronomy. Welcome to Donos, the city of gastronomy. Chef Tact, a three-star chef. I haven't seen you since your cooking contest in the town of Fast.

'You remember me. It's been a while. Glass Chef.

He's the guy who was one of the judges when we had a cooking contest in the town of Fast, and he's the guy who said he was a five-star chef in the gastronomic town of Donos. It's only natural that this guy would make an appearance.

'Of course. You did a great job. It is my great pleasure to invite you to the gastronomic town of Donos in this way.

It's still a bit embarrassing to hear a five-star chef say that.

But this place is a new starting point for chefs and producers.

What do you mean by that?

''Hmm. There's a variety of ingredients here, but only those that have made it through that gauntlet can buy them. And as a chef, it's a place where you can take the chef's promotion test any time you want.

I'm guessing the trials are quests. From the way you say it, it sounds like it's more difficult. And the promotion test is a test that allows you to move up in rank as it is.

''What do you want to do?　We can challenge you right now, can't we?

My answer is obvious.

'I'm sorry, sir, but I'm going to have to try and improve my skills a little more.

I haven't reached the realm of a four-star chef yet. I want to challenge myself when I think I've perfected my original cuisine and reached the four-star chef I want to be.
