With Akane-san's Teleportation Magic, we moved to Kaori-san's shop. Upon entering, Kaori-san went to the back and changed into her usual kappogi-style outfit. It seed she always wore that when cooking.
She then placed water and nus in front of us.
[Kaori-san, today’s your day off, right? Just make sothing simple; no need to trouble yourself too much.]
[Ah, it’s fine! I’ve got that large magic box Raz-sama gave now. Well~~ a high-capacity magic box is a godsend for a restaurant! I can prep ingredients during downti and store them in the box, so it’s easy to whip up dishes later…… I’ve even added more options to the nu because of it. Prepping ahead of ti has beco a breeze!]
[Ah~~ I see. Now that you ntion it, that makes sense……]
Indeed, just as Kaori-san said, magic boxes could keep food in a freshly made state, so storing pre-prepped dishes was incredibly convenient. Even for labor-intensive tasks like ingredient preparation, storing them in the box ant als could be completed quickly when ordered.
Preparing als during slow hours and storing them in a magic box was highly efficient, and for a restaurant, a large-capacity magic box was indeed a powerful ally.
[And so, if it's on the nu, I can make it right away, so feel free to order anything.]
[Thank you. In that case…… I'll have the tastuta-age set al.]
[Then I'll go with the miso katsu.]
[I’ll have the stir-fried vegetable set al.]
Since it didn't seem like ordering would place a heavy burden on Kaori-san, we chose what we wanted to eat. Akane-san and Frau-san also placed their orders, leaving only giddo-san.
[What will you have, War King-sama?]
[Ah, I don’t eat much…… just sothing light to snack on is fine. Do you have any alcohol here?]
[Yes. Would hot sake work for you?]
[Hot sake, huh? Been a while since I had so…… yeah, that’ll do.]
Apparently, giddo-san is among the Six Kings who eats the most variety, but her als typically consist of snacks to go with alcohol. This ti, she ordered sothing light to accompany her alcohol.
However, sothing about the exchange caught my interest, so I decided to ask giddo-san.
[giddo-san, you’re familiar with hot sake? Does that an you’ve had it before?]
[Unn? Ah, yeah. Wasn’t it called nihonshu? Originally, it was sothing Neun made in small amounts for herself. But my place's Epsilon liked it a lot, so Neun taught her how to make it, and now we’ve set up a production system to make it in large quantities. There are also others like Blossom who love it.]
[Ah~~ I see.]
Now that I think about it, Epsilon-san’s outfit resembles traditional Japanese clothing, so perhaps she likes Japanese culture to so extent———— though maybe not as much as Blossom-san.
I can easily imagine Neun-san or Epsilon-san drinking nihonshu…… Well, as for Blossom-san, while her appearance gives off a Yamato Nadeshiko-vibe, her energetic personality makes it hard to picture her calmly sipping hot sake.
[Oh, that's right. Since it's hot sake, make that one…… that "Atsumori" thing.]
[ [ [ ………………….. ] ] ]
giddo-san declared this with a triumphant look, as if she had just co up with a brilliant idea, but what she just said only made Kaori-san, Akane-san, and I froze in place. It was only natural. Atsumori is an internet slang term referring to "things becoming quite intense (atsuku moriagatta)".
At the very least, it has absolutely nothing to do with hot sake. Clearly, giddo-san had misunderstood sothing.
Frau-san, not knowing what Atsumori ant, looked as calm as ever, but the rest of us had indescribable expressions on our faces. Kaori-san then shot a silent "help " look…… Well, it seed I was the only one in a position to address this.
[giddo-san, the word Atsumori did exist in the world we ca from, but it has nothing to do with hot sake. Where did you hear about it?]
[What? I heard from Blossom that Atsumori is when you pour hot sake into a big container in large amounts…… Is that not right?]
[Not at all…… but I see. You thought it ant sothing like a mountain or large serving of hot sake (atsukan no yamamori/omori), didn't you…… Kaori-san, the regular serving is fine.]
[Ah, unn.]
How should I say this…… hearing that Blossom was the source of this information made everything click into place. Unn, I could totally imagine her saying sothing like that with a smug look on her face.
Serious-senpai : [I thought Alice had fed her so weird ideas again, but it turns out it was soone else’s doing.]
? ? ? : [How rude. There’s no way Alice-chan would teach anyone such incorrect information…… No, wait. If it’s a gorilla, she’d probably find it amusing and do such a thing.]
