Yesterday’s cake was delicious.
Therefore, I will visit again in order to heal my weary mind after the tiring conference.
As expected of the royal capital of Ingrasia Kingdom where the Freedom Association’s Headquarters was located.
Yuuki actually did a good job.
He searched for “World Travelers” and sheltered them. Not just people with high ability but those with knowledge and those familiar with technology as well. Since I was mainly obsessed with food, I could learn something from this.
To be honest, there was no satisfaction in a meal at the level of a frontier village. Modern Japan was too luxurious.
Only one boiled potato every day and a tasteless soup made with bitter grass. Such meal was the norm.
Because salt was a high-class item, food that had flavor was precious.
Even bread, since it was eaten when hard, would be nothing more than a hardship.To try and improve the food was a very natural action, but whether or not it was possible was different issue.
Just like with me, the images formed with the knowledge of the former world might not be conveyed properly to the other party. It would be certain that there would be many attempted trial and errors between a “World Traveler” with common sense and the other party.
I could pretty much estimate that much.
Thanks to their efforts, I could eat a cake, even in this world.
Although the reason I came to Ingrasia Kingdom’s royal capital was to participate in the Council’s conference, I believed this issue could be more important than that.
Today’s goal was negotiating with the shopkeeper to see if he would share his recipe.
Shuna said she could make an identical cake, but it would require several months of research in order to make one at the same level.
I greeted Kirsch-san,[1] the shopkeeper. I wanted to ask him to teach Shuna how to make it.
The recipe might have been a secret, but even if it was useless, I had continued to ask him.
「Aah? You want learn how to make my cake?
Do you think a treasured recipe can be taught to other so easily?!
I’m glad that you liked the cake, but this was made with the effort of many people.
So it can’t be taught to others so easily.」
Oh well, it was a natural reaction.
There are similar shops in many places in this town, but after my eating spree and comparing them to each other, only this shop had the real deal.
It was certain that the other shops only imitated this shop. This shopkeeper could also be another “World Traveler.”
「Could you please do something about that?」
Shuna asked politely while lowering her head.
It was a refined movement that placed her both hands together and bent at the waist beautifully, charmed all who saw it.
「......guu. I, I won’t fall to sucha seductive technique!
But, I will think about it, if you can make a dish that can satisfy me, anything is ok.」
Oops.
It seems Shuna was able to draw out a compromise. I was prepared to have to research it in the worst case scenario, but Shuna’s dishes are first class.
