Chapter 1795 – [Second Dimension Restaurant – Adventurer Party and Beef Stew]

Just as Chairman Naomoto did before, people who suddenly encountered a well-decorated restaurant in an unfamiliar place took a wary attitude. Especially since I am a dull man who greets and greets me for the first time, I feel this way even more… I wonder, should I leave the service to Korma at the 2D restaurant?

In any case, it is important to resolve misunderstandings and provide guidance. Aside from everything else, the food situation over there doesn’t seem to be good, so if things go back to that way, there will definitely be a division.

“It looks like you’ve been starving for a long time. Please sit down for a moment. I’ll bring you something to drink to quench your thirst.”

“No, um… Did you say this is a restaurant? In the middle of the Drake Mountains?”

“I don’t know where the Drake Mountains are, but this is a restaurant in another dimension. It’s a restaurant in another dimension where hungry people can come and have a meal.”

The hint of suspicion was strong. The leader of the party was a bit taller among the warriors, but he turned to the other party members, the elf archer and wizard, and asked their opinions.

“Mirva, Dahlia. What do you think?”

“… I think it’s good. I don’t know why, but the air feels refreshing and pleasant, as if I’m back in my hometown forest. There’s nothing wrong with people living in a place like this.”

“It’s the same for me. Looking at it now, we can communicate with that man without any problems even though we speak completely different languages. There’s no reason for someone with this level of ability to deceive us… It’s best to believe.”

One has good sense and the other has good intelligence. Quick to understand the situation.

I wondered if other warriors other than the warrior who seemed to be the party leader had different opinions, but there were none. Does this mean that you will probably follow other people’s opinions?

I didn’t mean to ignore it, but it seemed like I was leaving the judgment entirely up to you. On the contrary, if you see that there is trust in the leader… Oh, now that I think about it, the leader and that person are similar. Are they brothers? Is that also your brother’s side? Then it’s worth it.

It’s a party hall that asks party members’ opinions, judges them, and accepts them… If you see that they are trusted, it’s a good party. This is a party that has been going on for a long time and will continue.

“I understand for now. But it’s been a while since we’ve been able to take a bath… How can we take a quick shower? Oh, of course I’ll order it!!!”

“Well, then, let’s do some simple maintenance inside. I can provide that level of convenience.”

“Thank you!!!!”

No kitchen. This is because the kitchen is the sanctuary of the cook and not a place for washing people.

But anyway, Elysium was a store inside Cherubim. Getting to and from the bathhouse through the dimension gate is simple. No, what do you think is used to move from end to end of this gigantic dimensional navigation ship in the first place? There are other means of transportation within the ship, but the most convenient is the Dimension Gate.

The adventurer party was not very surprised when they saw the dimension gate open before their eyes. If you look at things that are familiar to you, is it because you do that when you visit a two-dimensional restaurant?

Anyway, I send them to the bathroom for a moment and let them wash up. I wonder if something like this is necessary, but if you feel uncomfortable, even delicious things tend to taste bad. Since the hygiene of one’s own body is filthy, there is no way the food will go down well, so I can accept that level of convenience.

“It seems like I’ve been starving for a while, so I need to prepare a few things. First, I’ll start with purified water, and then there’s pre-meal soup… Oh, there’s also an elf. What type is he? Is he a vegetarian, or does he eat meat too?”

“I should have asked in advance. Just in case, wouldn’t it be better to only serve the broth with vegetables? You can add the meat later.”

“That would be a good idea.”

After some time, only the warriors of the adventurer party returned. There is also a bathhouse where you can soak, but as expected, men took less time to wash.

Honestly, even if it’s on a different level, men’s bathing is done with showering, washing, and shampooing and soaping the head and body. Women have a lot of things to worry about, so it will take a little longer.

They returned to Elysium feeling much more tired, perhaps because they had taken a bath for the first time in a while, and their fatigue seemed to have gone away. We provide them with the purified water made by Eden to relieve their stomachs and prevent indigestion even if they eat greasy food.

“Did you enjoy the bath?”

“Ah, yes. Thank you for lending us such a large bath. I heard that there was a bathhouse like that in the imperial palace, but I never thought we would actually use it.”

“What? You’re probably thirsty. Let’s drink some water first.”

The two of them, feeling thirsty after taking a bath, gulped down water. Apart from the effect of healing and restoring the body, it also has a refreshing feeling, so you will feel as cool as banana milk or coffee milk after taking a bath.

It was only a glass of water, but the two drank it refreshingly. Ah, but if I drink too much and can’t eat the food, that’s a problem, so I need to control it.

So I diverted their attention by taking their order, not the water. Previously, Chairman Naomoto ordered what he wanted to eat first, but since there are many people here, and he doesn’t know what to order specifically… I have to ask various questions. It is a basic virtue.

It would be a big problem if you cook with something allergic to and the customer dies. Who would visit a restaurant where someone has died? That is different from Eden being able to save.

“Not everyone in my group has arrived yet, but I’m still trying to roughly take orders. Are there any ingredients that you can’t eat or don’t eat?”

“There’s nothing special about it. All of our party members eat well regardless of the circumstances.”

“There was an elf among the group. What about him?”

“Mirva doesn’t have anything to choose from. Oh, come to think of it, Hevel, do you remember how you said before about Mirva that elves only eat vegetables and fruits?”

“Ah, Kane!!!! Why are you bringing up that story?!”

“It was rather harsh to say that if you live in the forest eating only vegetables, you will die… Anyway, there is no difference.”

“Okay. Then, do you have any other favorite dishes?”

“I hope it includes meat if possible. Ah, but since we haven’t eaten in a few days, it should be as soft as possible. Ah, are there too many conditions?”

“No, that’s enough. Then, please wait a moment.”

I took the order and immediately informed Eden in the kitchen. In fact, it wasn’t a big deal for Eden, who had sensory abilities, to hear a story from a place that wasn’t too far away, and she was listening to everything, but apart from that, something formal was needed.

What can I say, it has more atmosphere, right? Even as technology develops and becomes more convenient, there are times when we choose something inefficient.

“There is nothing to choose. My preference is meat, and preferably soft meat.”

“Then, let’s add meat to the boiling broth and make a rich stew. It would be nice to serve it like a set meal.”

“It won’t be bad. It may take some time, but… The girls haven’t arrived yet, so it’ll be okay. Before that, would you like to serve something as a pre-dinner dish?”

“Bread and butter before the meal. It would be delicious to eat with the stew later. Oh, and I also tell you that it can be refilled if you need more.”

“Okay.”

A basket full of bread and butter to spread on it. The bread before the meal was warm as if it had just been baked and exuded the unique savory smell of bread. In addition, the butter was also made by processing milk with a high butterfat content.

The taste was so different that people who only ate commercially available butter would swear that all they had ever eaten was just milk residue when they took a bite of Elysium’s butter. The rich and savory taste is added with bread… Honestly, you can fill your stomach with just this.

As they took out the basket with the smell of delicious bread in it, their eyes automatically turned towards this direction. The smell of freshly baked bread had an indescribable magical power.

“It’s an aperitif bread. Spread it with butter and eat it. If you need more, please let me know.”

“Wow, that sounds delicious…”

“Thank you, I will enjoy it.”

Two warriors. When you hear the names they called each other, was the older brother Kane and the younger brother Havel? The two brothers immediately reached for the bread to fill their hungry stomachs.

Although they are brothers, the way they eat is different. The older brother just bites the bread as is, while the younger half first cuts the bread in half and spreads butter on it before eating. But even though the way of eating was different, the reaction was the same.

They were impressed by the soft and fluffy texture and the rich flavor of the milk and butter. They say it’s a well-made bread even in a dimensional civilization, but what does it say to the mouths of those who seem to have come from a place where technology is still less advanced? It would be no exaggeration to say that it melts easily.

“Mmm!!!!”

“Wow, it’s delicious. The bread is soft and savory!!! Even the bread from the restaurant I went to in the capital wasn’t this good…”

“It’s the same white bread, but it’s very different. Why is that?”

“The fact that the taste is so much richer is probably due to the ingredients themselves being wrong. Could it be that they used the milk of another monster rather than Big Horn?”

Oh, your younger brother is sensitive to taste? But Big Horn? When you say monster, is it a cow-like monster?

I want to sell livestock somewhere and use monster milk, but… Well, you can think of it as livestock from the other world. Because the world is on a different level, the cultures are also diverse.

It didn’t take long for me to eat the whole basket of bread since I hadn’t eaten before. So I immediately refill the bread and fill the basket again. However, since I was hungry and my job required a lot of work, the amount of food I ate was enormous, so the refilled basket began to run out of bread at a rapid rate.

Just when I was wondering if I needed to refill again, the female party members came back and joined us. Even though men and women were separated, they used the same bathhouse, but the hair on that side was different, perhaps because they seemed to use it much better than men.

“I thought there were hundreds of soaps, so I wanted to look at them all…”

“I don’t really like artificial toiletries made by humans, but I like the ones that smell like fruit. They are probably made with real fruit, and good quality fruit at that. If there is a forest that grows those fruits, I would like to see it.”

“Oh, you two are here? Sit down quickly. The food hasn’t been served yet, but the bread is really delicious.”

“The two of you came out first and ate, but you managed to have some left over?”

“They keep refilling it. Eat as much as you want.”

“Then I won’t hesitate.”

The female party members also sat down and started eating bread. Even though there was plenty of butter and milk in it, the elves ate it without any objection. As the party leader named Kane said, they seem to be the type of elves who don’t care.

The elves I saw in my past life were kids who didn’t eat meat… I wonder why they look similar but their eating habits and such are completely different. Or is it just convergent evolution that only looks the same? Hmm, I’m not sure.

Anyway, the two women also seemed to have the same reaction as the men. Wizards are highly skilled people, so bread like that is relatively easy to come by, but they are still impressed.

“Hmm, the bread is very soft and savory. The breads eaten at the Magic Tower are also of high quality, but they cannot be compared to that. What kind of ingredients are they using?”

“First, I think it’s right to use something similar to Big Horn’s milk… But the taste is completely different. It’s similar, but it seems like I’m using the milk of a completely different monster.”

“Oh, we thought that too.”

“They say it’s a two-dimensional restaurant, but it’s a lot different and much more advanced. It can’t even be compared to a magic tower that uses the latest technology. What on earth is this place doing?”

“Well, but since it’s a restaurant, I think it would be better to eat first and then think.”

While the adventurer party fills their stomachs with bread, the kitchen is finishing cooking. Gradually, a delicious smell began to waft from the kitchen.

The pleasant smell of long-simmered meat broth naturally stimulates the appetite. The adventurer party was somewhat full of bread, but their movements gradually slowed down, and their attention soon turned to the kitchen.

No matter how delicious the bread or the side dish, you can’t help but feel intimidated by the presence of the main dish. On the contrary, since I was somewhat full and had some room to spare, my expectations for the main dish were growing even more.

Although it was still just a smell, the adventurer party was excited and talking about cooking. I know if there is a stew-like dish just by the smell, but I don’t know the ingredients, so I guess and talk about it.

“Does this smell like stew? It goes well on an empty stomach.”

“Heavy meat smell… It must be really delicious meat. Siamese? No, this smell is closer to Big Horn meat, but it’s much more delicious…”

“It looks like there are plenty of vegetables. I can feel the sweetness and flavor of the vegetables from the smell. The soup looks very delicious as well.”

“I want to eat it quickly.”

And the dish is ready. In the kitchen, Eden puts the finished stew on each plate. It’s a fairly large and wide bowl, and it’s very generous.

Looking at the ingredients, there are carrots, broccoli, button mushrooms, potatoes, beans, etc., As well as onions that are caramelized to the point where they are completely broken down and turned into soup. The most notable thing there is meat. You can see several pieces of meat cut into large chunks.

It looks like some kind of braised ribs, not a stew. Most people would feel full just by eating meat.

After adding pickles or pickled radish to quench your appetite, you head out to the table. As the stew, the source of the delicious smell, went out, the adventurer party’s anticipation reached its peak.

“Wow!!! What kind of meat!!!!”

“It’s really a lot, let’s eat it quickly!!!!”

Although they had filled their stomachs with bread, they were still hungry and rushed for the stew. Even though each person eats differently, they eat to fill their hungry stomachs.

Seeing them eating so hungrily makes me happy. When I see people eating well, I realize that I am full even without eating.

“It’s nice to see you eating deliciously.”

“Isn’t it satisfying? That’s the reward of being a chef.”

Eating deliciously. That is the best reward in Elysium.

Oh, if you feed them already, and they just barely eat them, don’t come in the first place. Because I can tear it apart.
