Mitsuha

Capítulo 16

Según la historia de Marcel, la persona que está debutando es, por supuesto, la protagonista de la fiesta de presentación, primero simplemente presenta 'Esta chica también ha subido a la etapa de ser una candidata a una pareja matrimonial' y luego parece que se trata principalmente de intercambios entre nobles. El protagonista tendrá intercambios entre niños, y los adultos van a hablar sobre "cosas de adultos".
Por lo tanto, sin la característica del programa, lo bueno y lo malo de la fiesta de debut se trata de: "50% de la comida, 20% del vestido, 20% de la persona misma y 10% de otros". Mm, cocinar es una gran responsabilidad.

Mitsuha quickly teleported when Marcel left. And she goes out as soon as she changes clothes. The destination is Mi-chan's, a childhood friend from Mitsuha's kindergarten, house the liquor store. Though Mi-chan herself is absent from attending a college in the city, the goal today isn't seeing Mi-chan. Arriving at Mi-chan's house, Mitsuha shouted loudly at the front door.
"Excuse me~!"
No, not in my mind this time, I don't care if I really shout. Because I've been doing it since I was in kindergarten so people in the house and the neighbors are used to it.

As usual, Mi-chan's dad came out.
"Michiko isn't here"
Mhm, I know.
"No, I'm here to see uncle today"
"Oh, I'm glad. So, what is it?"
"Please sell me liquor"
"What?"

Eventually, I somehow managed to persuade the reluctant uncle and succeeded in obtaining the liquor. I'll have him deliver it to my house later.
The content of my persuasion? It seems that I can get a job directing a foreigner's party, I needed a sample of cooking and liquor, so, I just mostly said the truth. No, uncle is good at finding lies. Maybe whispering, it would have be a big purchase If it goes well, worked. No, I'm not drinking it, really.

Next, I purchased food that doesn't deteriorate so easily, namely retorts, canned foods, and fruits. I also bought ice cream and sent it to the refrigerator. When it's evening I'll get the side dishes.
I reserved a sushi bar. And ask the chef at a familiar France restaurant to advance order some takeout soups and dishes.
Ok, until later on buying the side dishes and collecting the ordered items, let's idle around at home for the first time in a while?

"Welcome"
I opened the door and greeted, as planned, there are four people with Marcel leading.
Two are the viscount and his wife. The other one is a woman in her late twenties, she's Marcel's subordinate and seems to be the cook who serves as the second. Female cooks seem to be rare, but as second in a noble's kitchen, she must be a capable woman.
After guiding everyone to seats in the kitchen is the greetings.

"Thank you for coming today, I'm the owner of the General Store Mitsuha, Mitsuha Yamano"
There is no self-introduction from the visitor's side. This is only an informal dinner party. Marcel just came to a familiar store with his friends. No one here knows any noble's weaknesses or the problems they have. The real matter is only for if the conversation advances to the next stage.
Ah, I know they were Mr. and Mrs. Viscount when I saw their clothes. Marcel secretly taught me about women.

"I have prepared tastes from a variety of dishes today. Therefore, unlike a full course meal, they won't be ordered into a sequence. Generally speaking, I will serve various things. Because each is a small amount, I apologized that only one dish of each will be served. Please share the serving dishes. Just taste, please do not try to forcefully eat them all. You won't be able to eat the rest"
Four people silently nodded.
Now, should we get started?

"This is Consommé soup"

As expected the soup is served individually.
The soup shines in golden color. It's cooked with all of a french restaurant chef's might.
The expression of four people changed the moment they smelled the fragrance. Drinking a bite, they enjoy the depth of the taste with an ecstatic look.
"......"
No one says a word.
The hand that moves the spoon doesn't seem to stop.
