Whoo, here y'all go. Volume 6 babe!

This takes place later the anime, so it'south all uncharted territory basically.

Previous Chapter

"Aoi-san, we're already at our limit!"

"Um! Do nosotros have to stop here for today……"

This is Moonflower, and the fourth dimension is late September.

I- Tsubaki Aoi, am frowning due to inner regret, leaning in close to stare at the refrigerator with few ingredients left.

The state of affairs before me is like beingness cut off by the enemy forces, facing the desperate situation of trying to do everything. Today's business should exist able to do only this much, and we won't be able to accept any more customers.

As usual, Moonflower's operations are understaffed, often condign too busy to deal with. On days where at that place are especially many guests, the ingredients may be wearied halfway, forcing Moonflower to close early on; yet if the sufficient amount is prepared in advance, the solar day's business might be particularly deserted. It is really difficult to catch a balance.

Furthermore, I'm lone in managing the diplomacy of the store and I experience like I tin can't keep doing then anymore. It'due south really a problem.

"Although the previous incident at Orio-ya, including the ceremony details, was quietly covered up, it withal caused enthusiastic debate among the citizens of the Subconscious World. In all aspects, Aoi-san has managed to become the topic hither, receiving fifty-fifty more interest from the ayakashi, leading the proper name of Moonflower to exist passed along to great altitude……"

Later on closing up shop, Ginji-san and I sat on the bar counter for a brusk break. We bit into the stale persimmons that we got from a customer while sipping our tea.

"Ginji-san, while your tone is total of emotion, I did non voluntarily make a name in the Hidden Earth."

"Mmm, I understand. It is the ayakashi who are actively focusing on you…… Just thanks to that, Moonflower's business is flourishing!"

Originally tired, Ginji-san's expression of a sudden changed and showed a face full of joy, but my center was total of uneasiness at the same time.

From a debt-attributable standpoint, of course I would similar to meet a prosperous business. All the same, if the operating methods in the store are not adjusted or improved, I have a feeling that it will affect the standard of the meals sooner or later, leading me to feel lamentable for the customers that specially come to the door.

Ah……permit's change the topic for a moment, this persimmon is actually succulent. The sweetness exuded from the soft function within and the slight remain of the bitter flavor is what I especially similar.

Although there are many people who hate persimmons, this is a snack that grandad used to swallow. It has a familiar taste to me.

"It seems……that it'southward almost time for Moonflower to hire a new employee."

"New employee? But you're correct, relying on simply Ginji-san and I, is really a chip tough……"

I concur with Ginji-san's proposal. E'er since the opening of Moonflower, it has just been the two of u.s. working hard together along the way.

But Ginji-san also has other departments that he has to manage.

I think the shop should just straight up hire new people for assistance.

"In lodge to permit Aoi-san focus on her cooking, commencement of all, nosotros should increase the number of waiters in the field. I will try to postal service a sign on the message board of Tenjin-ya earlier I kickoff."

"I wonder what kind of people will come to apply……"

Why am I saying information technology like I accept decided to hire a new person……

"Mistress Aoi is besides much!"

A ghost fire suddenly appeared from my necklace. Information technology was Ai.

She puffed her cheeks angrily with the aforementioned advent equally me.

"You already have me equally a follower, and still want to hire new employees! Y'all should just permit me piece of work and then!"

"Huh? Do you want to work so much, Ai?"

"Haven't I always strongly asked?"

Was this the case? I tried to recollect about it.

Ai showing up from the necklace has basically but been during dinner time, or to discover Chibi to play with.

I've always thought of her as an ayakashi that has yet to grow upward, so I've never thought of accepting her as an employee.

"Only Ai, you lot ever become tired afterwards coming out for a while, and then run dorsum into the necklace, don't yous? Furthermore, if y'all have the same advent as me, it feels like there are ii mes in Moonflower, which is very weird."

"……would it be weird?"

Ai and I both looked at Ginji-san.

Our expressions seem to exist asking for his stance: "Hey, what do you think?"

"Uh, well……since Ai knows best what Aoi-san is thinking, I would of form similar to take y'all help. But if yous maintain the same appearance every bit Aoi-san, I remember it is a bit inappropriate."

"Why, why do y'all say so? Young principal, I too want to effort my best……"

Ai pleaded tearfully with Ginji-san. Saying that with my face seemed to have dislocated and panicked Ginji-san. His optics shifted, and he stuttered a reply: "But…… this……"

"This feels like it volition misfile the customers. Mistakenly thinking that it's me, just it turning out to be Ai; or in reverse, mistaking me for Ai."

"This is indeed i of the bug…… But, disregarding the operations of the store first, having a follower that tin can modify their appearance to friction match the master's is actually extremely precious. This may be better to not share with the world."

"Is it?"

"Mmm. Having a await-alike avatar can serve as your last life saving trump card. But on the other hand, it may also be used unscrupulously past people. Then if possible, I hope you lot volition try your all-time to not highlight Ai'due south being……"

Ginji-san glanced at Ai to come across her biting her lower lip with tears like a kid, and then scratched his head in distress.

"If y'all want Ai to work in this shop, you may demand two conditions- one is that she tin't doze during work hours, and ii, she has to transform into a new advent."

"……New appearance."

Ai and I tilted our heads in uncomprehension.

Not existence able to doze during work hours is understandable. This was obvious.

"Does this mean that you desire her to change into someone other than me?"

"No, it means that I'grand request her to learn to change into a new appearance of her own- also her own original await."

"Ori, original look?"

These words seem to make Ai confused.

"Let me think of how to explain……For example, Tokihiko-san from Orio-ya. He used to be a small demon burn down, and at present has his own appearance instead of copying others. In that location's a big difference in imitating others and creating your own appearance, so I'grand not certain if Ai-san, who is yet and then young, has such a capability……"

However, Ai raised 1 mitt up high and vowed: "I desire to give it a try!"

"I, I volition work hard to create my own appearance!"

"Oh……" (T/N: this is said in understanding)

Looking at Ai'south energetic appearance, Ginji-san and I applauded softly to show admiration.

"However, it's about time for me to sleep, and so I'm going back into the necklace beginning."

"……"

Ai immediately became a ghost fire, and returned back into the necklace.

The necklace gleamed with gently pulsing light, like the breaths of Ai as she slept peacefully.

"Compared to the appearance problem, this seems to exist a bigger one."

"The reason that she would need to sleep so often may be because she'south still growing. When she grows up, she should be able to stay up similar a normal ayakashi, since ayakashi have no demand for sleep in the first place."

"Listening to you say that, the slumber time of the employees in Tenjin-ya is indeed very short. I originally thought it was an illegal business concern or the similar, merely it turns out that this is not the case……"

"Uh, no no no! How could information technology exist an illegal business organization, Tenjin-ya's treatment can exist considered quite superior in the Hidden World. It's just that the concern is busy."

"Huh? Why does this answer seem to exist a bit of a walk through a greyness area."

Forget it, anyway, I get plenty sleep every day and take a holiday tomorrow, and so I don't take any comments.

Merely no matter how, every business twenty-four hour period is still very decorated. If Ai could help, I couldn't exist more happy.

"Aoi, I want to eat."

"Ah, that guy is here."

"That guy" that I referred to was a certain snow woman.

That is, the former young proprietress, now waitress, Oryo. She arrived at Moonflower as usual after getting off piece of work.

"Sorry, Oryo, there is nothing left today."

"Huuuuuuuuuuhhhh! Again? What about rice? You don't fifty-fifty have rice?"

"If it'due south white rice, I can just melt it again, but we don't take whatever dishes. And tomorrow, Moonflower is taking a break. There aren't any ingredients left."

"And so just cook white rice for me. Anyway, I like rice the near, and only the new rice volition taste delicious."

"……"

If you want to eat merely white rice, you can go wherever y'all want……Ginji-san and I lowly exchanged whispers.

However, seeing that Oryo had already been lazily sitting on the bar seat, I helplessly spit out a "Really, what should I do with you" and stood up to set the white rice.

Every bit Oryo said, it is now the virtually delicious season for new rice.

Especially in the land of the Ogre Gate, where the high-cease brand rice 'Ogre Sui Xiang' is produced, the rice is harvested betwixt late August and early September and immediately polished, launching in the market at this time.

Moonflower also uses this kind of fragrant Ogre rice, its specialty beingness that every grain of rice is saturated with water.Therefore, the rice can exist cooked with lesser water, and will be more delicious. Although I want to permit the rice soak for half an hour, I wonder if Oryo has the patience to wait……

"Hey, Oryo-san!"

Following closely backside was a young daughter with chestnut-brown hair, striking raccoon dog ears and a ball of furry round tail.

She is ane of the waitresses from Tenjin-ya, Kasuga.

"Y'all forgot your corkscrew in the banquet hall. Oryo-san, y'all rushed to Moonflower immediately after piece of work, and the new waiters can't notice you anywhere. But I kept it first, and said that I would assist mitt it over to y'all."

"Ah, really? Kasuga, you lot're an errand girl in front end of even your juniors?"

"The main reason besides lies with you, Oryo-san. Everyone is very serious about their work attitudes."

"Ah, yes yes yes, Kasuga you work very hard too."

I don't know whether information technology was because Oryo was tired after just finishing work or what, but she responded causally without any real involvement and patted Kasuga's pilus.

Then she took the corkscrew that had an ice bell hanging from its head, and stuffed it direct into her kimono belt.

'Dingling~~' The clear sound of the bell rang out.

"That ice bell is so beautiful."

"Well, I would never gift it to you lot, Kasuga."

"I don't desire it either okay……I'chiliad just asking you to have ameliorate care of information technology in the future."

Kasuga replied in frustration and sighed. It was difficult to tell who was the senior from this response.

"Ah, that'south right. Young master, the Odanna is looking for yous."

"Eh! Actually? Kasuga-san. Correct, information technology could be nearly the fall festival……Aoi-san, I'll say goodbye for now and head to the master inn."

"Mmm, you lot've worked difficult, Ginji-san."

Ginji-san quickly nodded to me, and left Moonflower in a hurry.

"Kasuga ah, you lot're still the same as earlier, existence entrusted with and so many tasks."

"Yeah, everyone uses me every bit an errand girl, just I'1000 used to information technology, so it doesn't matter."

Kasuga lightly sits on the seat next to Oryo. It seems like she also decided on eating plain white rice from the new rice here.

"Aoi, is it non done yet? I'thousand hungry. I thought using the Hidden World rice cooker would accept it washed in a thing of minutes?"

"Aiyo, Oryo, expect patiently for a while. Information technology'due south rare to utilize such good new rice, so it should soak in the h2o for a while."

"Huh? You don't take to work so hard. Bustle upward, first cooking. I'm and so hungry."

If it was the usual me, I would kickoff cooking because I can't convince her. Merely in order to taste the deliciousness of the new rice, I want to do my best and choose the most exquisite cooking method.

However, Oryo's patience seemed to have reached a limit. She began to smack the counter tabular array.

"Aoi, Aoi~~ rice, let me eat rice~~"

"Hey hey hey, that baby over there! Stop smacking, this table is already an quondam antique."

I tin can't stand it, Oryo is then capricious.

"Hey, is there annihilation to eat?"

It was no surprise that Akatsuki would show up now.

Oryo, Kasuga and Akatsuki- the three of them ever come here and become food-scrounging ayakashi.

"Akatsuki, I need to apologise offset, nosotros don't accept a single ingredient left today. Oryo said she'southward okay with just eating white rice, and so I'm about to melt it now."

"Then I'll have white rice too, practise you lot take any pickled vegetables?"

Akatsuki chose to sit two spaces beside Kasuga, which was the same equally usual.

"There are many ingredients for bibimbap. I'll put it on the tabular array later. There'southward no other style to say it, ayakashi really love rice."

I finally moved the rice cooker onto the stove, and cooked it on the burn down. The Hidden World's rice cooker can melt fragrant rice in less than v minutes, which is really user-friendly.

"Akatsuki, I heard you didn't use any of your special leaves this year? Do you not even have a girlfriend, and have only work as an involvement? Is at that place actually such a man."

I don't know if Oryo was bored to craziness or hungered to craziness. She bypassed Kasuga to find mistake with Akatsuki. She has such a bad addiction, e'er messing with the younger ayakashi only for the fun of it.

But Akatsuki, who had finished working for the twenty-four hours, was exhausted and returned her comment with an impatient expression.

"You should learn more about how to have some fun. A guy like you, who looks like he has a bad temper and doesn't know how to relax and have some fun, won't be welcomed amidst girls no matter how hard working you are."

"Oryo, stop nagging me."

"Wow! You have no respect! I'm older than you lot in terms of qualifications, and I'm older than you in terms of age!"

"That means nothing. At present that you don't accept the title of immature proprietress, you're only another waitress. Comparing the front desk manager and waitress, obviously I'yard greater."

"Hmph! What a displeasing man!"

"Oryo-san, y'all're and then noisy."

Oryo'southward high pitched voice was besides ear dissentious, leading Akatsuki and Kasuga to comprehend their ears.

However I but listened to their conversation silently, and opened the kitchen fridge in the store.

Although there are not plenty ingredients to brand a decent dish, there are a few oft prepared side dishes. Afterwards taking out these side dishes, I quietly laughed to myself. Ha ha ha, ha ha ha……

"Aoi let out a very strange laugh."

"……Anyway, she must exist thinking most something related to cooking."

"Don't even talk about united states, she's an ayakashi who cooks all the time."

The iii who were still quarreling a 2nd ago now began to lowly exchange bad words near me.

Just I didn't pay them whatsoever attending.

The long-awaited new rice was finally washed. I let the white rice stay in the pot for a while and so opened information technology. The rising oestrus was accompanied by the fragrance, which fabricated my tum grunt involuntarily.

Mix the freshly cooked rice in a cut move, so put it into the wooden rice bucket.

I pinched the rice that was sticking on the dorsum of the rice spoon and tasted it. The chewiness and sweetness of the new rice were a real treat.

"If it's white rice, there are so many shops around for that. Here, eat to your heart's content."

I placed the rice bucket on the bar counter and helped Akatsuki and Kasuga to make full up normal rice bowls, while filling Oryo's in the large bowl that she usually used.

Each grain of rice that was alluvion from the bowl was full and shiny. It really was a tastiness that only new rice had.

"Yeah, I'1000 going to start!"

Oryo picked up the chopsticks and the big bowl, and without another word, started eating the white rice in large mouthfuls.

Huh……I tin finally shut her mouth.

"Kasuga, Akatsuki, both of you are hungry right? Delight, eat."

"Aye. But to swallow it plainly just like Oryo, is a picayune chip difficult to swallow……"

"Practise y'all not have any side dishes or the similar, Aoi?"

"Hoho, how about using this for bibimbap?"

I placed a jar in betwixt Kasuga and Akatsuki.

They were stunned at commencement, then carefully looked at the contents of the jar.

Kasuga seemed to immediately get information technology.

"Ah! I know. This is boiled mushrooms, right?"

"That's correct. Using the large amounts of mushrooms that were harvested in the fall to make this bootleg side dish, it is a perfect friction match with the white rice. Recently, the fall orders in the store would gild for a friction match similar this."

I opened the bottle cap, used the wooden spoon to pick upward a total scoop of boiled mushroom sauce, and placed them in both of their rice bowls. The cooked mushrooms were the colour of coffee, and slowly flowed down the top of the white rice hills……

This side dish used enoki, beech and shiitake mushrooms, seasoned with the favourite sweetness soy sauce of the ayakashi.

In addition to the sugar, mirin and cooking wine, which are necessary ingredients in full general practice, I too added red pepper and vinegar to give the sugariness a slightly spicy gustation, accompanied past a slightly sour gustation.

For frequently prepared side dishes, this is a very skilful dish that matches everything. Excluding matching information technology with rice, information technology is also very tasty to accept with common cold tofu or boiled vegetables.

Kasuga and Akatsuki half mixed the boiled mushrooms with rice and half swept information technology into their mouths in big bites.

"Well, eating is especially delicious when you are hungry."

"……This is actually succulent."

The chewing sounds of enoki mushrooms from the both of them fabricated a crisp and sweet sound.

Oryo was possibly sick of eating only white rice, and felt curious most the boiled mushrooms that Kasuga and Akatsuki were enjoying. She had been secretly eyeing the jar from the beginning……

"Oryo, take it if you want to eat it-"

Only Oryo didn't even listen to me finish, and had already snatched the jar away.

"Ahh! My rice buddy!"

"Oryo, you lot really took information technology for yourself! This is too low!"

 "Kasuga, Akatsuki, don't be worried. I even so have some here."

I couldn't carry information technology, and found several side dishes that went well with rice to bring to them.

There are plum meat hijiki fragrant pine, miso puree with lotus root added, and vinegared kombu white radish……

The daily set meal in the eatery volition ever have side dishes that pair well with rice, so I normally make several kinds of preserved spares.

"This is personally my highly recommended side dish. Dried hijiki boiled in h2o and crispy stale plum meat chopped randomly are fried together with bonito broth until it is dry out. It is very good with white rice."

Bearing the painful loss of the boiled mushroom sauce, Akatsuki then tried to apply the plum meat lamb lettuce fragrant pine to pair with the white rice.

The crispy gustation and sourness of the plum meat together with the rich and fresh sweetness of the hijiki, covering each grain of rice, was another delightful taste. This fragrant pine alone could requite people a blazon of satisfaction without demand of whatever other side dishes. In improver, it is also recommended to mix information technology with white rice and knead information technology into a rice ball to enjoy. The taste will also exist very skilful.

One after another, Akatsuki too tried some minced-miso meat and pickled kelp white radish. Seeing that these side dishes were being eyed by Oryo once more, I took a small-scale dish and separated a fiddling for her.

With an increase in the varieties of side dishes, it painted a colourful vision that could exist enjoyed fully past the viewers. In that location was also a hesitation of deciding what to eat next, which made me jump for joy.

Information technology'due south nice to occasionally enjoy the pure taste of new rice like this.

I decided to also have dinner like this, so I walked back to the kitchen to get my usual rice basin. At this moment……

"Ahhh! I remember!"

Right, there were still ii pieces of fall salmon fish freezing in the refrigerator, unremarkably used in the cooking of the employees' breakfasts.

It just needed to be taken out and thawed, and I could brand ane more side dish!

"Hehehe, when it comes to the classic ways of accompanying rice, of course it has to be the salmon floss……"

Without saying anything else, I put the salmon pieces on a demon-fire powered defrosting disc to thaw, removed the skin and dry fried its surface, adding table salt, broth, mirin, wine and other seasonings before turning it down to low estrus. I and so used the wooden spatula to loosely separate the salmon pieces and stir fried it, hands serving it. Hehe, hehehe…….

"Weird, Aoi is laughing in the kitchen again."

"I can smell fried fish."

"Hey, Aoi! Why are you secretly frying salmon in the kitchen alone! Don't think yous tin can fool my nose!"

"……Don't worry, Kasuga, Oryo, Akatsuki, I fabricated enough for everyone to eat together."

Coming to the last step earlier starting the pan- afterwards the salmon meat has dried and become loose, pour the white sesame and sesame oil into the pan, and stir-fry it slightly.

And the homemade salmon floss is completed. Information technology's just that elementary to make it.

"I'm prepare to start! This is the invincible rice buddy- the dry-fried salmon bits loved by men, women and children. You lot would improve understand it by straight-up calling it fragrant salmon, right?"

"Oh oh oh……"

"It smells so fragrant."

Bringing the fragrant salmon bits before them, Oryo and Akatsuki immediately exclaimed.

Their rice bowls were already empty, and they were trying to get some other bowl. Really, these two. This time, they started to quarrel over grabbing the rice spoon in forepart of the rice bucket, so Kasuga automatically ran to get another. At the end of the mean solar day, she really is the virtually mature person hither……

"Ah, information technology'southward finally my turn to sit down and eat a meal!"

After a lot of work, I finally picked up my rice basin and added some white rice, and deeply savoured supper.

First of all, allow'southward taste the fluffy and delicate, fresh fragrant salmon bits.

Whether it is used for making rice assurance or as a side dish of a bento, it is a very popular bibimbap ingredient.

More often than not, bottled salmon floss is besides bachelor on the market. Although the set up fabricated ones are also really good, I will withal endeavour to brand them myself then that I can adjust the taste and texture to my liking.

Apply a spoon to scoop up a spoonful of bright pinkish-orangish salmon floss, put information technology on the freshly cooked white rice, and sweep it into the oral cavity while mixing.

Ah ah…… this autumn salmon that brings with it delicious fat, actually is the taste of autumn. Although I chose to mash the whole slice of salmon into minced meat to brand fragrant loose $.25, the deliciousness and saltiness match the sweetness of the white rice really well. In addition, the added white sesame and sesame oil also work, releasing a compelling scent in the mouth along with the taste of salmon.

"Ah, this is really succulent, I feel like I tin accept another big bowl of rice……"

"Oryo-san will go fat if you go along to eat, merely I also want to take another basin……"

"Sure enough, eating salmon in the autumn is a must. It actually goes well with rice."

Everyone seems to be very satisfied with the fragrant salmon floss.

Ah! Damn. Mouthful after mouthful of white rice, I couldn't stop myself…… I'll terminate up consuming also much carbohydrates like this……

Adding the miso minced meat with lotus root was also great. The rich miso-flavored ground meat was paired with crispy lotus roots, altogether with rice. If you want to eat something refreshing to change upwardly the taste, come endeavour pickled kelp white radish and enjoy the crispy sense of taste……

"Aoi-dono……"

At this moment, Sasuke, the gardener of Tenjin-ya, came to Moonflower.

Sasuke was however clad in his ninja uniform, just carried a big bamboo basket with him.

What was within turned out to be fresh ruddy-shelled eggs.

"This is a batch of eggs laid past the cassowary in the evening. The Odanna told the immature primary that it was unbearable to run across that the lot of you have only rice to eat, so he ordered me to send the eggs here. That manner, you lot can mix it with your rice."

"……"

We felt an electric shock like a flintstone was struck.

Raw eggs. This is the best product among all others in accompanying rice, crowned.

Not skillful. Suddenly there'due south TKG (Note: TKG is the abridgement of 'raw egg bibimbap' in Japanese, taken from the offset letter of its Roman pinyin.). I didn't wait to be able to make raw egg bibimbap with new rice……

"Ah, I want some other bowl."

"Ah! Oryo, y'all're too mendacious, I want one too."

"I desire 1 as well, since there are at present eggs."

These lot of ayakashi continued to swallow bowl afterwards basin of rice in the dead of nighttime. Forget it, I don't intend to stop them.

"I would also like to make full my tummy with rice to my heart's content."

"Yeah, Sasuke, come and sit down as well."

Everyone at the scene couldn't hide their expectations for the raw egg bibimbap.

Make a hole in the eye of the hot white rice and beat the egg in, and then that the moving raw egg fills the gap perfectly.

The yolk of the cassowary eggs is brilliant xanthous. The plump and shiny outer membrane is total of irresistible amuse.

Ahh, only by looking at it, I already knew this was going to taste absolutely succulent!

"Raw egg bibimbap is definitely best matched with sweet sauce from the Hidden Earth."

I chose the most classic combination.

"Soy sauce is too peachy, just a few drops of sesame oil is also great."

Oryo actually took the rich road.

"Is eating it with tsukemen sauce and green wasabi a minority route……"

Akatsuki glanced bated and muttered, but it sounded good.

"I always eat it with citrus vinegar and soy sauce. If there are bonito flakes and fried noodle balls, I will also add them."

Kasuga's preferred sense of taste always brings a feel of Tanuki color. (Note: 'Tanuki-color' - In Japanese, the pronunciation of "Tanuki" also refers to "oolong or soba noodles with fried noodle balls".) (T/N: I accept NO idea what this means, but I'm pretty certain information technology'due south a pun?)

"I always swallow the original flavor."

Sasuke's preferred gustation is very simple and groovy.

"Aye, good. Let's all bask it the way we similar."

In response to the needs of everyone nowadays, I prepared various seasonings and placed them in the center of the tabular array.

I still pursued the classic, dripping a few drops of soy sauce on the egg yolk, and mixed it with my rice after piercing information technology with my chopsticks. What is information technology with the moment of happiness that emerges at this?

First of all, to sense of taste the unmixed mixture, I beginning dig upward a mouthful of the egg yolk that has not completely dissipated.

"Ah ah…… the texture of the get-go bite of the raw bibimbap actually is different."

This is the moment when you can near enjoy the rich flavour of the egg yolk. Eat this first seize with teeth outset, so fully stir the egg white and rice well, and enjoy the authentic raw egg bibimbap.

"Hey, listen to me, this lotus root miso meat mash is super expert with raw egg bibimbap!"

Kausga'southward new discovery brought anybody'southward focus to the miso mash.

Oh oh, the two really match, what an amazing discovery!

Raw egg bibimbap is really a dandy invention. Just the egg with rice is so succulent, and a fiddling bit of thought on the seasoning tin can create a variety of different flavors and become fifty-fifty more amazing.

"It seems that yous are all eating with gusto."

"Ah, Odanna-sama."

The Odanna and Ginji-san came to Moonflower together.

Oryo, Kasuga, Akatsuki and Sasuke, who in the previous second had forgotten me and had been greatly gulping downwards their food, now stopped their movements to stand up up and bow deeply to the Odanna.

"Information technology's fine, it's fine, you should all go on eating, information technology'south rare to get and so many eggs later all."

They seemed to have been waiting for this sentence of permission from the Odanna, and immediately returned to their positions and continued to eat.

"Hey, what's the matter with you, Odanna-sama? It's been a while since y'all showed up here. Do the both of you want to eat raw egg bibimbap too? There are however a lot of eggs and white rice."

"No cheers, I just had a repast at the banquet party merely now."

"I also had a few drinks. The alcohol is a chip strong, and then…… well, please permit me start later."

Both Ginji-san and the Odanna practice seem to be a little flake drunk.

The need for socialising at work is necessary, of grade, just everything seemed fine, so why was the Odanna hither?

Taking advantage of this conversation, the Odanna suddenly offered me an invitation.

"Aoi, Moonflower will balance tomorrow, right? If you have time, why non become out on a date with me."

"……what?"

The iv who had been eating before at present momentarily stopped their chopsticks.

But the Odanna, who had voiced out the sentence and seemed to be in a skilful mood, merely connected on with a smiling:

"Later on the incident at Orio-ya, I haven't been able to reward you well, and fifty-fifty continued to let you keep busy with the business in the store. And I myself wasn't able to spare y'all whatsoever time, so I feel sorry for y'all. Personally, I promise to create a happy time for you, Aoi, my newlywed……"

"But I'm happy every day."

"Right! Permit's get savor ourselves at the orchard. Selection some grapes or apples or something, and we can even use them as ingredients- what practice you think!"

The Odanna held my shoulders tightly. I've ever felt that his expressions were always too potent.

Asking me how I experience, I also……

"Apples and grapes huh……"

I pressed my alphabetize finger to my chin, and began to imagine it in my mind. These ii fruits are indeed the seasonal specialties that are particularly delicious in autumn.

"Yep, let'south go then, Odanna-sama- I'thou really interested in the orchard!"

"Aoi, I'one thousand so glad you agreed."

The Odanna breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The lot that were eating their raw egg bibimbap behind me likewise resumed moving their chopsticks.

"Aoi-san, the orchard is located in the mountainous area at the junction of our northeastern land and the neighboring northern land. The maple season arrives earlier on that mountain. I heard that it has all turned red already. Please be sure to enjoy the beautiful scenery tomorrow."

"Ginji-san, you're not going?"

"Me? I……"

"Ginji, you accept also been too busy to take a vacation because of what happened at Orio-ya last time, correct? Do you lot desire to come together tomorrow?"

The Odanna also offered him an invitation. Ginji-san looked at the two of us all the same, so smiled slightly and shook his head.

"No cheers, I…… I want to stay in the inn, and help guard Tenjin-ya for the both of you, who volition be out."

Ginji-san's response was merely like his usual style.

But equally he was rejecting the invitation, he did non await at me at all.
