Chapter 43 (1/2)

TN: Ah, san autu this chapter really o to my favourite japanese restaurant

Salt-Grilled Sanma1

Being lit by the light of full moon, Koheji looked around the area quietly

(Where, is it here, it's about to arrive…)

In Koheji's ears, the sound of as mixed with that sound

AAAAAAAAAAAAA…

Sadly, the voice of resentainst the world, to his ears faintly re of clothes

(There's no hosts…)

He becahtened when he res

Though they were sos had the appearance of a woman with empty eye sockets

It happened to one or two person in a few years, the travellers ent hosts

However, he didn't think that it was a big problem

To peddlers who did not have enough er to life was inherent

According to the gossips he could glean at bars, there was a pack of wolves residing near a part of the highway, one part of the highas safe because adventurers destroyed a nest of goblins, and it seehted near the highway, those kinds of dangerous tales

Compared to that, of course there's at least one person that's unlucky

Koheji did not think that he was particularly unlucky, and decided to travel the road

(Pro, probably… during the night of full moon…)

He looked up to the sky On the large expense of darkness… the full then the power of death

Even at his small horaveyard during full ht

Because the strong power of full e corpses into terrible undeads

(Don't tell …)

Being frightened by the possibility of a ghost appearing, his body started to tremble

When he was a kid, he heard that a traveler died near the entrance of his hometown and decided to see it with other people When people becahosts, they became an ”indifferent” entity

He slipped down a cliff to his death and standing idly there with a transparent body

It was so creepy that he thought that it was scary, but after his grand hihborhood's priestess was called to banish the ghost

However, the ghost he saw so… a monster

Based frohter of an aristocrat that died around there during warti fiercely for territories

Indeed, for several decades or centuries, with their grudge against the world keep building up, only the power of senior silver ranked priest or priestess could cleanse them

For Koheji as a , he had no training in ic

(A, anything is fine That guy will arrive later… what is that!?)

Under the ht, Koheji who looked around desperately noticed it

A black door with a picture of a cat

(Why in a place like this… wait, it's going to disappear!?)

Al its peak on the sky, the door's beco more transparent

It was about to disappear

(Oh crap!?)

If he did not enter the door now, surely he would be cursed by a ghost beforearrived

Following his intuition, Koheji immediately ran and opened the door

'Chirinchirin', at the sa, he jumped inside and closed the door

While the door closed with a bang, Koheji's lower body immediately became weaker and he sat down

[Am, am I saved?]

He was glad that the floor was not h stone, it was a wooden floor made by human hands

He did not knohere this is

Although it was pitch black, certainly there were signs that it was lived in with no presence of a ghost

That was enough for now

Koheji sighed in relief and leaned back on the door

At the saue hit his body and his waist gave out

Shortly afterwards, Koheji began to snore and the sound echoed in ”otherworld dining hall”

[…Who is this?]

For this restaurant, Sunday was the only fixed holiday

At the , the oho slowly ca young man

[…Maybe he found a door during the ot stuck…?]

Sturdy clothes for … japanese-like clothes for protection and a s for states era and period drama

Yesterday, after giving beef stew to the last custo ht

It seemed that the door disappeared fro that slight gap

[…Nn? Is it …?]

While he was thinking such, the young an to wake up

[It seeht somehow… un?]

The man as still half-asleep looked at the owner and tilted his head curiously

And for the owner,

[…Welcome to the Western restaurant Nekoya]

For the tireeted him slowly

Then, after a while,

(…Otherworld dining hall, huh…)

While drinking the ice cold owner handed to him from the oas probably 10 years older than him, Koheji pondered about the situation

Froot lost in was a different world restaurant that opened once in 7 days

It was such a mysterious story, but this restaurant had been around for 50 years and it seemed that it started to appear at the other world around 30 years ago

Then when Koheji told his story… he spoke about the terrible ghost he encountered, he was surprised that undeads did not exist in the other world

And he said that

—It seemed to be a lot of trouble

While it was unfortunate that the food he could make today was li

As he was told so, Koheji's belly grumbled

When he thought about it, he was running for his life last night and had not eaten anything yet in the

It was reasonable to get hungry

So Koheji decided to take advantage of the owner's favour

Of course, since the oas involved in business, such a thing couldn't be free

Fortunately when in terold and silver coins were stored in his clothing and he always carried it around with him

He told the owner that he was fine with it and paid a silver coin to become an official customer of the restaurant

Thus,

[Sorry to keep you waiting It's salt-grilled sanredients are radish and fried tofu]

Before Koheji, other world food was placed

[Somehow it looks like a luxury, master]

Seeing the food lined up before him, he said such honestly

It was surprisingly different from the food of an ordinary restaurant that Koheji knew… its luxury suited the aristocracy

The white rice piled in a s, and the piping hot brown soup e scent

Yellow salted vegetables were served in a small plate

And on the rilled silver-black fish similar to a sith browned skin due to fire

The owner said that this was a salt-grilled fish named ”sanma”

Placed on the side of the plate was soreen fruit

[I appreciate it Please eat it with the sauce in the red bottle

The rice and miso soup are complimentary, so you can have refills Please enjoy]

The owner turned back to the kitchen for cleaning up

Koheji was left alone

[Well, let's eat…]

He couldn't endure his appetite any food in front of hi
