Chapter 18 (1/2)
Happy Thanksgiving! The picture this time is Misato, although Mitsuha volume 2 will come out at the end of the month, I couldn’t find a large version of the cover so it’s Miles volume 6 instead.
Did I overdo it?
The skit from the beginning was too well received, there weren't any guest leaving after a chat. Instead, they continue to stay hoping『 there might be something more 』. Also, the never before seem cooking was delicious. The rare wine played a large part.
Ah~~.
Something has to be done…
「Earl-sama, Iris-sama, excuse me for now! 」
Leaving behind the Boses couple and heading towards the kitchen, I saw the figure of the cooks looking like they were about to die. Fortunately, we still have time. It's still『 at this rate there won't be enough 』, so there is still some left right now.
「Is the oil boiling? 」
There was an affirmative answer without any power in return to my voice. Did things coming to this make Marcel-san's weak side come out? Pull yourself together!
「Okay, here, quickly peel the potato, cut it like this. Afterwards, fry it in the oil. You know, there was a dish we discarded didn't we, we're making that. It's perfect to make a lot of without taking much time. You remember how to do this right, Marcel-san! 」
「Ah, ahh…」
「What are you lingering about for! Didn't you swear you wouldn't embarra.s.s your boss nor his daughter!!」
Marcel-san slowly recovers the power in his eyes.
「I can't suddenly prepare ingredients. We have to quickly make something with what we have right now. Put everything on the table and think! I'll buy us some time. Bring out a large plate! 」
As Mitsuha said so, she takes the large cardboard box left in the corner of the kitchen. It's 1 meter long on both sides.
「I prepared these for an after party with all the servants, however, bring these out and buy time! 」
A lot of bags came out the box. Squid head, squid fish, peanuts, roasted almonds, persimmon seeds, spicy rice, sauce cutlets, chocolate, rice crackers, potato chips… They open them one after another and serve them to the venue on the large plate.
「Change of schedule! Being out all the desserts! Immediately! 」
Guest with children will usually stay until the near the end. So, the desserts for children haven't been brought out yet. Because the children would flock to them if we serve them at the beginning and would have made the crowd around Adelaide smaller, and they'll only eat desserts and not the other dishes.
But still, serve them!
Most of the desserts were brought in by Mitsuha. In order to grab at children's hearts and stomachs to favor the Liner family, she spared nothing. Take this, my final weapon!!
Mitsuha returned to the venue and took the microphone again.
『Everyone, excuse me for interrupting your conversations. The second course of foreign food, food that goes along with wine and dessert will be served now』
The guests listened with expectations in their hearts.
『These sacks go very well with alcohol. Please find out what alcohol it goes with by trying them for yourselves. Also, please enjoy the dessert together with juice. We are confident that not only the ladies and the children, but also the gentlemen will find them to be satisfactory』
The guests one after another gather around the snacks and desserts. Alright. When drinking alcohol, the consumption rate will decrease. If they get drunk, they wouldn't eat much anymore. Also, you'll quickly get full when eating dessert together with juice right.
For desserts; there are hall cakes, shortcakes, fruits, chocolate sweets, pudding, mousses, and cream puffs with ice cream and whatever inside. The children and ladies’ expressions change as they dig in.
The french-fries finished in the meantime and appeared, several special dishes were lined up behind schedule. The initially planned dishes continued, and somehow, the party reached the end without any interruptions in the serving or empty plates showing up. Was the party a success? Are you seriously asking that?
It was a truly astonishing night.
Earl Burder recalls the earlier party during the carriage ride home.
The skit at the beginning was a short but magnificent play. What mechanism was there in making that picture…
And the pretty and beautiful girl and the numerous wonderful costumes that made full use of the girl’s charm. In both terms of materials and crafting, how much did that worth?
