Chapter 16 (1/2)

Today’s picture is Maribel cosplaying by

Marcel-san listened to Mitsuha's words, ”we will have a tasting party tonight. Please come with 4 people including yourself, also including those who have the right to decide. Oh, and please come hungry.” and returned home. While properly remembering to take the knife and other things.

According to Marcel’s story, the person who's debuting is of course the protagonist of the unveiling party, first is simply introducing ‘This girl has gone up to the stage of being a marriage partner candidate as well’ and then afterward it seems there is mainly about exchanges between n.o.bles. The protagonist will have exchanges among children, and adults are going to talk about “adults things”.

Therefore, without the feature in the program, debut party's good and bad is about: “50% the food, 20% the dress, 20% the person herself, and 10% other.” Mhm, cooking is a big responsibility.

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.

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.

Mhm, I know.

“Oh, I’m glad. So, what is it?”

“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.

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”

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 n.o.ble'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”

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”

Now, should we get started?

”This is Consommé soup”

The soup shines in golden color. It's cooked with all of a french restaurant chef's might.

”……”

The hand that moves the spoon doesn't seem to stop.
