The Festival
(Part 1)
A city of the Rondéville Kingdom, Lunéville
When this city was born anew as a grand inn town, the branch gained a new constructed annex in anticipation for even more customers The branch’s functions put in place were to specialize in cuisine and infore
When all was said and done, it was a diner On the second floor of that annex, there was a certain gathering
“So then, has everyone drawn their lots?”
Everyone, ere each grasping a piece of paper, nodded while looking on with very tense expressions
The elf girl orked as the branch’s staff, Ilya, re a display board behind her
As for as posted on the display board, it was a rough sketch of the entire toith ures on it Various characters ritten next to the figures, none of them were the same as another
With their eyes looking at the display board as though to eat it, everyone looked this way and that as they searched for their numbers
“… Booyah! The yakisoba’s mine!!” [1]
After he threw his hands up to the skies as though in great delight, voices trailed after him
“Omelette franks!? Yay!” [2]
“Goldfish scooping…? Whyyy…” [3]
“O-okonomiyaki… I wonder if I can make them well?” [4]
“Ta~i~ya~ki~!” [5]
“I will now be handing you your manuals, so please line up over here”
Watching everyone move over in succession, Frank, who had approached Ilya by hih
“It looks like it somehoorked out, doesn’t it”
“Yes”
“… You won’t go together with me after all?”
Even though she was receiving the gaze of Frank, as the head of the guild association’s Lunéville branch, Ilya shook her head As this was his second proposal, even though he already understood how she would respond, Frank couldn’t hide his disappointment Ilya smiled at him
“Even if I went, I don’t think anything would change, you know?”
“Well, even though you could say that…”
Frank was somehow unable to articulate himself
As for the topic the two people were talking about, it concerned a notification sent to the branch er the other day
The notification’s contents were: [As headquarters is holding a general ers are to appear in the guild association’s headquarters]
Although Frank had been to s at headquarters several ti’s purpose hadn’t been clearly described
Therefore, he had proposed for clever and quick-witted Ilya to accompany him, but she curtly declined
The headquarter’s general ers and since it was given the authority to make decisions, it was at the point where there was no choice but to go As long as the conversation’s topic didn’t escalate too le word
However, his intuition see troubleso similar as well However—
(I don’t want to get involved in anything troublesome)
That was her
“Just in case, if the topic looks as though it’s going badly, please escape without overworking yourself alright?”
“Don’t say so so uneasy…”
Towards Frank as save him a smile that overfloith spontaneity
He’d probably realized that she was jesting
Becoo of his wry smile as the mood calmed
“… May I butt in?”
Ti, Cynthia spoke to them
“Certainly?”
However, Ilya responded cal done so easily, while Frank was standing to the side averting his line of sight, unable to say anything because of his embarrassment
“… Ahem Ummm, there’s a quick question from the people that have received theirutensils should they use?”
“Understood I’ll explain”
Accompanied by Cynthia, Ilya went to the crowd of people
Left behind, Frank turned his gaze to the bulletin board The first thing to attract his attention was the words ‘Construction Coe letters
Since the all of the construction had been completed, they decided to host a festival in commemoration of it
It would be for a period of two days, the goal was for people coht after the first day to try out the inns at special costs
When one thinks about festivals, the first thing to come to mind are the stalls
For the residents of Lunéville, even though they’d experienced things like harvest festivals, it was only to the scale of being done in the central plaza
Because this festival’s main purpose was to debut the brand new inns’ construction coreatly, so it was expected that the atmosphere would feel a little shabby if there weren’t many booths set up
Their probleh stalls for a festival of this scale
As for as suggested as the solution, the branch would serve various kinds of dishes
The privilege of serving the branch’s cooking as street vendors
The lottery from a moment before was to decide the cuisines, as well as to explain things to everyone That was the scene that had developed thus far
“Weeell, I thought you’d refuse at first, Branch Manager-sama”
Likely because he’d finished receiving his explanation, a rinned towards Frank
“We don’t particularly hide our recipes after all They aren’t sonificant”
“Again with the modesty! Gahaha!”
Towards the hed cheerfully, Frank smiled wryly
It was true that they didn’t hide their recipes, in fact the recipe book was being sold by the couild
As for who brought the inforuild, it wasn’t Ilya who had designed and edited foods from her previous life’s world cuisine, but a fellow staff h she had received instruction while taking rudimentary lessons directly from Ilya, there weren’t any differences in the recipes themselves
Even so, it hadn’t been that popular because when one considered the purchase of the cooking equip fairly expensive
Adding on to that, because the flavor would change depending on who cooked it even with the same recipe, there wasn’t anyone that coulddone by the Lunéville branch (particularly things made by Ilya)
For those reasons, Ilya per the potential disadvantages that ca them
“Well then, that’s all for today We will practice the dishes another say As it will be scheduled depending on the kind of cooking that will be done, please check the schedule posted on the bulletin board”
With Ilya’s saying that the general explanations were complete, the stall lottery successfully came to a close
“Next is us, huh?”
