Chapter 1118 - Founder and Shopkeeper ⑤

[It looks delicious. The shogayaki smells great.]

The combination of a heaping pile of shredded cabbage, delicious-looking shogayaki, and miso soup is wonderful, and this looks like it would be a great meal.

Not waiting any moment further, I took a bite of it, and it tasted exactly as I had expected. Or rather, it tastes exactly as what a shogayaki would taste.

[It’s very tasty. I thought of this earlier as well, but it really seems that the dishes here were all high level, weren’t they?]

[Really? Fufufu, well, I’ve been the owner of a Set-meal restaurant for years after all. I’ve always been confident with my cooking, so with my experience here, I think I end up doing great.]

[Yes, great enough that I really want to eat all the other sets in order.]

[Whoa there, did I just get a nice repeat customer there?]

Her mood seemingly recovering, Kaori-san has a happy expression on her face.

At that moment, I glanced to the side and saw Olivia-san repeatedly holding and setting down her chopsticks.

[……Olivia-san?]

[Balance sure is a difficult thing to achieve.]

[Ahh, I’m sorry for not realizing it, Founder-sama. We also have knives and forks. If you really want to try using chopsticks, please use this…… a helping aid for those who aren’t used to chopsticks.]

Kaori-san takes out a tool that makes it easier to use chopsticks by attaching it near the handle…… I think that’s a tool used to help children learn how to use chopsticks back in Japan.

Chopsticks are rare in this world, so I guess she prepared them for such people.

[I appreciate your concern. I am not familiar with either utensils, so I will use the chopstick aid.]

Accepting the chopstick aid from Olivia-san, she attached it to her chopsticks and ate the shogayaki, covering her mouth with one hand. While Kaori-san looked at her nervously, Olivia-san moved her mouth so small that it was hard to tell if she was really chewing.

Then, seemingly as if she finished with a bite, she quietly spoke within the heavy silence.

[……It really is hard for me to describe.]

[W- Well, it would certainly be hard when you’ve almost never eaten a meal before.]

[However, I don’t feel displeased eating it, so I think this would be tasty. This is also the taste of the cuisine from the world Miyama Kaito-sama was, another thing that I have learned.]

Seeing Olivia-san lightly smiling as she said this, Kaori-san also looked somewhat relieved as she patted her chest.

From Olivia-san’s comment, or rather, the emotions I could feel from her, I could feel that it was somewhat positive, and I was a little happy because it seemed to me that this was somehow the result of the day’s work.

After she continued eating her set meal and a sip of her miso soup, Olivia-san spoke again.

[I can’t say that I’ve reached the stage where I could enjoy the flavor of food yet. I suppose this will be something I will continue to study.]

[Well, you don’t have to strain yourself about it. You can just take things easy. I think you will find your favorite taste after you have eaten food several times.]

[I see, I suppose so. “This place isn’t far from the Cathedral”, so I suppose “it would be easy for me to come and go here”.]

[ [ ……Unnn? ] ]

Hearing the words Olivia-san said, as if it were a matter of course, Kaori-san and I tilted our heads at almost the same time.

[……Olivia-san, what do you mean by come and go?]

[With today’s events, I’ve come to realize the importance of getting out learning, rather than just staying in the Cathedral. For this reason, I plan to continue to take opportunities to learn.]

Olivia-san responded to my words without any hesitation. No, I think that’s a good idea…… but considering what she just said earlier……

[Errr, Founder-sama? Ummm, does that mean you’ll be coming to dine at my place in the future?]

[Would I be troubling you?]

[N- No! By no means would you be trouble!]

[I would also like to learn the flavors that Miyama Kaito-sama prefers, so I will visit this restaurant often. The next time I have the opportunity to come with Miyama Kaito-sama, I think I will be able to use these chopsticks without any problem.]

[……I- I see…… I’ve got quite an amazing regular…… What should I do……]

The serious Olivia-san will definitely continue exerting effort to do this, so it’s likely she’ll come to this restaurant reasonably often.

Hearing Olivia-san’s words, for the umpteenth time of the day, Kaori-san had a distant look on her face.
