Flirt Chapter 150

Chapter 150

「Mmm! Smells so good! I’m hungry~!」

「Kyuu~!」

「Don’t act so selfish, Irithelis.」

「We’re looking for something Ichita-sama wants today.」

「I know, I know.」

　After spending the night in Harden Gourmand, Ichita and the others left the castle and went to the city.

　Last night Ichita had sex with Gremilia and then had sex with Lestina and the others. Gremilia, who had recovered, came into the game, but she went down again, and since she was not used to having sex, she was not able to satisfy Ichita. Ichita’s hard sex seemed to have used up all her energy, and she is still sleeping in the castle to recover. Ichita and the others are fine with it, as they always are.

　Ichita and the others did not have breakfast in the castle but were trying to find the rice Ichita wanted while shopping and eating in the city.

「This is delicious」

「This meat is delicious!」

「The soup is also delicious」

「Kyuu�~!」

　Just like yesterday, they shared food and enjoyed a variety of foods. They bought meat, fish, vegetables, soup, and other dishes from stalls and street vendors.

「Hmm…ah!」

「What’s the matter, Ichita-sama?」

「Frankfurter!」

「Frank…furter?」

　While walking around, Ichita found a stall with a long line of people waiting to buy frankfurter, so he walked quickly to the stall.

「I knew it was a frankfurter…! There’s bacon, too!」

「Welcome! Hey brother, how about some meat gut!」

「I bought that! And this one too!」

「It’s salted meat! Thank you very much!!」

　Ichita is excited to find out that frankfurters and bacon are available in this world. In all the time he has spent in this other world, he has only seen meat sold mostly as fresh or dried meat. This was the first time he had ever seen meat products that had been processed properly. This is the city of food, after all. This alone made me realize that the food culture is more advanced than in other countries.

「Here is your order!」

「Frankfurters after a long time…hagu…… yum! And the bacon… delicious!!」

　After paying the money, the stall owner handed Ichita a frankfurter and bacon on a skewer, and after putting it in his mouth and tasting it, the word “delicious” came out.

「Is it that good, Ichita-sama?」

「I want some too!」

「Kyuu!」

「Hmm…all right. Please give me some more of this.」

「Thank you!」

　Seeing Ichita eating it so happily and deliciously, they said they wanted some too, so Ichita bought some for Irithelis and the others.

「Oh! This is delicious!」

「Kyuu~!」

「It really is. I love the texture of the skin bursting.」

「And the meat has a nice elasticity to it, too.」

「Salted meat is delicious with a robust flavor.」

「The fat and the texture are both sweet and tasty!

「This processed meat is also very good!」

　The owner gave Irithelis and the others a frankfurter and a piece of bacon to try, and they were surprised at the different meat dish, and finished it with gusto, saying it was delicious.

「Frankfurters and bacon are widespread here…then they must sell tools to make them…should I buy some? No, I know you can stuff frankfurters and sausages into the intestines of a pig or something, but I don’t know how to make bacon…」

　Ichita thinks about how to stock up on ingredients and tools to make his own frankfurters and bacon so that he can eat them anytime he wants. But he doesn’t know how to make bacon, so he wonders what to do. Even if he asked the stall owner to teach him how to make it, the stall owner wouldn’t be able to do so easily. There is no way he would pass up a chance to make a profit.

「Say, Ichita-sama. I think it would be better to buy them instead of trying to make them.」

「That’s true, but I think it would be even tastier if I use Orc’s “special” meat for the filling. And the bacon… and salted meat.」

　Ichita has an orc “special” meat, which is wonderful meat. He thought it would be delicious if he made frankfurters, sausages, and bacon with it, so he thought he would make it himself.

「How about asking the store to make them with our ingredients?」

「If we tell them we will pay for the cooking, they might be willing to do it.」

「Well, it’s a trial. Let’s try it that way.」

　Ichita was suggested by the girls to ask the butcher who makes frankfurters and bacon. He decided to give it a shot.

　Forgetting about the rice for the moment, Ichita asked the owner of the stall where he bought the frankfurters and bacon and tell Ichita where he buys his products, and headed for that store.

「Welcome!! What are you looking for!!」

「Fra…meat intestines and ba…salted meat. And…as much cockatrice meat as you have. I’ll buy them.」

「Thank you very much!! Please wait a moment!!」

「You’re so generous, Ichita-sama!」

「Well, I decided to buy it from the beginning.」

　Ichita tells the butcher store owner that he’ll buy all the frankfurters and bacon they have now. And some cockatrice meat for frying. When Ichita said this, the owner was happy to begin preparations.

「There is also something to negotiate after this」

「It’s hard to get people to listen to you when you’re asking them to do something for you out of the blue, isn’t it?」

「So you buy the store’s products to make it easier for them to listen to our request?」

「That’s how it is.」

　It’s a bit brazen to come out of the blue and ask them to make a product for you. Ichita was also thinking of buying one of the store’s products to contribute to sales so that it would be easier for them to listen to his requests.

「Thanks for your wait!」

　The owner of the butcher store brings a lot of frankfurters, bacon, and cockatrice meat wrapped in a large antiseptic leaf. Ichita paid the owner and put all the meat away with his “storage” skill.

「Thanks. Oh, and…」

「What is it?」

　The owner in a good mood since Ichita bought so much meat, responded with a smile.

「Actually, I’d like you to make meats stuffed with intestines and salted with the meat we brought…」

「Oh… I can give you the recipe if you want.」

「What?」

　The owner said he would teach so easily that Ichita let out a stupid voice.

「Are you sure?」

「Yes. We also serve meat stuffed in the intestines and salted meat outside of our store.」

　Since stuffed mead and salted meat are usually sold at other butcher shops, there is no need to keep the recipe secret, he said. The only difference in taste is the type of meat used, and the method of preparation seems to be the same.

　The reason why the recipe is the same is that the person who first invented the stuffed meat and salted it published the recipe several years ago. Most of the butchers in the city know how to make it. And the fact that it is so tasty is slowly becoming known and spreading outside the city. So it will soon be sold in other countries, even in Vaucinia.

　Ichita asked the owner to teach him how to make frankfurters and bacon. He also bought the intestines needed to make stuffed meat.

「Thank you very much.」

「Thank you so much for buying so much!」

　After thanking each other, Ichita and the others left the place.

「Good for you, Ichita-sama.」

「Yeah. Now we can make something tasty. Maybe we can buy some tools later.」

　Ichita is pleased that he has successfully learned the recipe for stuffed meat and salting meat. With this, frankfurters, sausages, and bacon will be on the table

「Now then, I need to find a place that sells rice. Let me know if you guys find any.」

「「「「「「「Okay (Sure) (Got it) (Yes)!」」」」」」」

　Ichita and the others once again headed for the market where they could find a variety of foodstuffs in search of rice.

　When they arrived at the market, they looked around the stores.

　They searched everywhere.

「…..Ah! There it is, Ichita-dono!」

「Really!?…. Oh, it’s really here! Rice!」

　Lilylea found a store that sold rice and told Ichita about it. Ichita went to the store and found rice in large paper bags on display. Ichita is impressed when he sees it. He has found the rice he has been waiting for.

「This is… brown rice!」

「Brown rice…?」

「What does that mean, Ichita-sama?」

「When the rice is further shaved, or polished, the white part of the rice appears.」

「Hee…」

「I had only ever eaten it in this state.」

　Ichita explained that the process of scraping off the hard, thin green skin of the brown rice is called polishing and that when this is done, pure white rice appears from the inside. Lestina and the others, who did not know this, listened with interest.

「Unlike brown rice, it is fluffy, soft, sweet, and very tasty.」

「I see! I want to try some!」

「Kyuu~!」

「Hey brother. You want white grain instead? You’re a connoisseur!」

「You have some!?」

「Oh, we have it.」

　Rice is rice, but what Ichita wants is white rice. The owner, who was listening to Ichita, said there is white rice, and Ichita reacted strongly.

「Here.」

　The owner brought a bag of rice with about 5 kilograms of polished rice in front of Ichita.

「Oh…! It’s white rice…!」

「You’re very impressed.」

　Ichita is impressed by the white rice served in front of him. He has been asking for this for a long time.

「I bought this! Everything you have!」

「It costs 1 silver coin for 100 grams, but is that okay?」

「「「「「「1 silver coin!? A grain that was also used to feed livestock!?」」」」」」

「People are starting to realize how tasty this grain is these days. It’s starting to gain some popularity. And it takes a lot of work to get it to this white state, which is why it’s this pricey.」

　Lestina and the others are astonished at the extremely high price of one silver coin or 1000 yen for 100-gram grain to feed livestock. They think it is impossible for something that is mainly used for livestock feed to cost this much. Then the shopkeeper tells them the reason for this price.

「I’m buying that!!」

「「「「「「 Eh!?」」」」」」

「Thank you very much!!」

　A thousand yen for 100 grams? I don’t care! If I can eat rice, I’ll pay 10,000 or 100,000!

　Ichita buys a large quantity of white rice despite the high price. Lestina and the others were surprised at Ichita’s behavior and realized once again that it was the foodstuff he wanted to get his hands on so badly.

「Thank you!」

「I did it… I finally got it…!」

「Good for you, Ichita-sama」

「Yeah!」

　Ichita is thrilled that he was able to get the rice he had longed for, and that the day when he could finally eat rice has arrived. Seeing Ichita like that, Lestina said to him, “Good for you, Ichita-sama”.

「We’re going to eat rice tonight!」

「It’s my first time and I’m very curious!」

「True. I can’t wait to see how it changes things up at the dinner table.」

　Ichita decided to eat rice tonight and Irithelis and the others got excited. Since Ichita was so pleased with the rice, they guessed that the potential of the rice was considerable, and they looked forward to the dinner.

「From now on, we’re going to make money by diving into dungeons regularly.」

「I don’t mind at all!」

「I don’t have a problem with it either.」

「I will help you, Ichita-sama.」

　Ichita plans to buy large quantities regularly. This time he bought only 5 kg, but he told the owner that he would buy in 10 kg increments.

　When Ichita told them that rice was moderately priced and that he would go to the dungeon from now on to earn money for rice, Irithelis and the others agreed to go to the dungeon, as they were former adventurers.

「All right, now that we have what we came for… let’s go look around the city.」

「There are still many places we haven’t visited yet.」

「Hey, Ichita-sama. Let’s go to the Rishinfu side of the city.」

「Got it. Shall we go?」

「「「「「「「Okay (Sure) (Yes) (I understand) (Kyuu~)!」」」」」」」

　Ichita, having fulfilled his purpose, later strolled around the city as they had done the day before. They buy tools for making frankfurters and sausages, buy local specialties from various countries, buy and eat, and enjoy Harden Gourmand to the fullest. After enjoying themselves, they returned to the castle.
