4 days since opening .

chiririn

Theyre here!

A visitor immediately after opening today! Okay, bring it on, bring it on!()

Welcome!

The guest, a slightly plump man lightly nods at Mitsuhas greeting and roams the store at a quick pace . Probably around his thirties . Even though hes not that old yet, hes already showing a little belly . Is he wealthy or a glutton who dislike exercising .

Probably he has roughly grasped that the products are arrangement by genre in the store, it seems the man started looking for the kitchen appliances corner . Although he seems concerned about the scale remover, after taking it in his hand and getting a good look, he return it to its original position .

Next, he takes a cleaver and seem a little surprised, but frowned when he sees the price tag .

No, thats a pretty good buy . The purchase price was 58,000 yen . 2 gold and 5 small gold coins will barely break even with any profit considering the exchange rate .

Its something to show that This shop handles luxury goods too . Its technological strength is high, a product that I wouldnt care if it sells or makes a profit . Its a something a craftsman forges one by one with their hands . I only watched it on TV but it was awesome, I was impressed .

Eh, are you going to buy that?

What, the man shifts to confirm the next item with the kitchen knife in his hand . Surprise!

You have a eye for good things . No, Im a little glad . There is no profit though .

After a while, the male guest comes to the accounting table with some goods .

Im sorry, but can I ask you some questions?

Huh, not checking out yet?

Yes, dont hesitate to ask anything . And please use the shopping basket if you dont mind

The man makes a, was there such a thing, face and put the items in his hands into the basket .

So, I want to ask, that scale remover thing, why are you selling something like that?

Eh, is there a problem with that?

Eh, its just a handy item . Because its convenient for removing scales, I thought it could sell to someone like a wife whos good at fish dishes

The man says with an amazed face .

Hey, how far away do you think here is from the sea? There wouldnt be any fish that isnt already smoked and dried, or salted, and needs scaling?

Ga~n I made a mistake! !

Is thats why those girls had that reaction

And, I want you to teach me how to use these

What is taken out of the basket are the items he had in his hands earlier . Ah, the purchase wasnt final yet, too bad . Focusing on cooking related items? This persons probably a cook .

Yes, this is a peeler, its used for peeling . Here, with this . Even amateurs that just started can peel beautifully at a speed that wont lose to a veteran, its a cowardly tool to kill veteran cooking

The man is paralyzed .

This is an hourglass . Once its turn over the sand falls down, it always becomes empty at the same time . Boiling time can be precisely measured so it is handy . 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, we have various kinds .

This is a can opener . This is a tool for opening canned food that can preserve food to be eaten at any time for several years

Well, nowadays the ones that dont need can openers are common . But quite a bit of the cheap items sold at discount stores still use can openers, following the order of civilizations progress the ones that use can openers came first, right .

As Mitsuya explains one after another, the mans face gradually gets redder . And .

Tell me . Why is this so expensive?

Don, the kitchen knife was put on the table .

Ah, this isnt made by casting iron into molds like the ones used for children playing house

Wha

Man grows angry from Mitsuhas provocative words .

This, with the carefully selected best material, steel, its a gem that men who been kitchen knife blacksmiths for decades, no, that demons took over several days to create . It is a piece of art made as a practical item, one of the supreme products . Something a demon, yes, a demon of steel created!

Ha, demon of steel

Gulp, the man swallows his saliva .

Take a good look . Forged repeatedly over and over, folds joined by pounding up hard steel and soft steel, the miracle technique that balanced razor-edged sharpness with hard to break ruggedness!()

The mans hand holding the knife shakes .

To be honest, my profit is zero even if I sell it . But it is our merchants mission to hand over the supreme masterpiece from the craftsmen to the chefs . The craftsmen cannot live if its too cheap . The chefs cannot buy it if its too expensive . At times like that, isnt it okay if we pick up the tab a little once in awhile? Hey, dont you think so?

I, Ill buy it!

The man shouted loudly with tears spilling down his face .

Yes, thank you for your patronage!

After a while, the finally calmed down guest starts the next conversation . ()

By the way ojou-san, Id like to talk to the shopkeeper, is that possible?

Ah, thats fine, go ahead without reservation

Then, can you call him?

Eh? No, Like I say go ahead

Ah, ahh, no matter how young, this shops sales clerk is ojou-san alone so she is pretty much the shopkeeper, huh . Rather, I would like to see the owner and manager of this store, not a employee .

Ah~, normally, you would think that .

No, this store is my personal belongings . I bought it, renovated it, and procure the products . That is, Im the shopkeeper owner .

It somewhat feels like chef-owner .

Ah, hes frozen .

He gradually melted .

Then, Ill ask . Is it possible to get raw fish in this store?

Ah~, thats the main topic . Is it from the three of them yesterday?

Whered you hear that?

Ahh, those three . Because they were my first customer, I treated them to quite a bit . Its a big deficit, ahaha

Is that right . They were happy that they had good deals and were able to eat something delicious

Mhm, thats right, thats right! Advertise even more!()

And, I didnt forget implicitly cautioned that it is was a special service in the end and its usually more expensive, Im a capable woman .

So why fish? From the previous conversation, there doesnt seem to be much of a habit of eating fish dishes in this town

And the man started talking about the situation in bits and pieces .

The mans name is Marcel . He is a 36-year-old chef who cooks at viscount Liners residence, the same as yesterdays three girls . Although as a cook he is still young in age, he was skilled and confident .

Until a while ago, he served as the second under the elderly head chef, but the other day the chef suddenly retired because of bad health and moved to the rural town where his wife and grandchildren lived for recuperating .

He was at a considerable age so it cant be helped . In the remaining kitchen of the Liner residence, Marcel, who was the second was promoted to chef, and while young he was doing well .

But, there is a big problem approaching .

The Liner familys daughter, Adelaides adulthood .

Becoming fifteen years old, a noble daughter is considered an adult and will debut in high society . Their debut is, of course, at their birthday / adulthood celebration party held in their own home .

This debutante is something very important that will influence the girls later position in high society and future . Each noble family spare no money and puts their vigour into the dress and cuisine . As in, as far as the nearby commoners are concerned, is a amount of money around all their wealth and property vanishing in one night . ()

(tn note: debutante: an upper-class young woman making her first appearance in fashionable society . )

If the former head chef was in good health there wouldnt be a problem . Since his youth he has been walking around large noble kitchens everywhere, a veteran chef who has experienced numerous parties .

But, that veteran chef suddenly departed .

Marcels arm is by no means bad . He might be top class among cooks of the same age . However, at the same time, his experience at big parties is scarce .

In the few small parties at the Liner residence he only need to cook individual dishes according to the instructions of the former chef . He didnt have much opportunity to learn about overall menu structure, timing to sent out dishes, and how to respond flexibly .

The head chef was going to convey them to Marcel this time at Adelates showcase party, but he faced a sudden illness and the schedule went haywire .

In the Liner family, because before the debutante they had never thrown a big party on their childrens birthday, the only large party at this level held at home was the current heads and his wifes wedding ceremony . And the Liner viscount family is emerging aristocrat starting from the previous generation, its easy for the other nobles make fun of them . For their daughter sake as well, failure and incompetence that would become a source of backbiting / slander, or ridicule is absolutely not permitted .

. . And, I have no confidence . There is the pride of not losing to any nearby cooks . But thats, when compared to the superior veteran chefs who worked for a long time at a large noble residence and the cooks of the royal palace, like maybe mine is slightly better than amateur cuisine? Like maybe due to my cooking Im going to be bring shame on the master and his daughter? Im afraid of that . Even though its pathetic

As if his body had become tiny, Marcel make himself smaller .

So you thought of surprising the guests with food they couldnt eat in this town

Yeah, thats right

Hmm, is just selling the fish and ending it okay? It seems profitable, and will help people, theres no topping this, however

But, what I wonder, is this itching feeling in my chest .

Ah .

I understand . This is that .

Its fun . Its a sign of something fun .

Dont let it go, thats my policy .

Please wait a moment

While saying so, Mitsuha hangs on the doors outward side a sign saying Taking a special request so the shop will be closed for a while, locks the door, and closes the curtain . Its good I had this wooden tag made .

Closing a little early . Its been less than an hour since she opened the shop though .

Mitsuha returned to the accounting tables seat, then took out a wooden tag from under the table and showed it to Marcel .

Actually, I started something like this

There, it was written .
