Happy Thanksgiving! The picture this time is Misato, although Mitsuha volume 2 will come out at the end of the month, I couldn’t find a large version of the cover so it’s Miles volume 6 instead.

Did I overdo it?
The skit from the beginning was too well received, there weren"t any guest leaving after a chat. Instead, they continue to stay hoping『 there might be something more 』. Also, the never before seem cooking was delicious. The rare wine played a large part.
Ah~~.
Something has to be done…

「Earl-sama, Iris-sama, excuse me for now! 」
Leaving behind the Boses couple and heading towards the kitchen, I saw the figure of the cooks looking like they were about to die. Fortunately, we still have time. It"s still『 at this rate there won"t be enough 』, so there is still some left right now.

「Is the oil boiling? 」
There was an affirmative answer without any power in return to my voice. Did things coming to this make Marcel-san"s weak side come out? Pull yourself together!
「Okay, here, quickly peel the potato, cut it like this. Afterwards, fry it in the oil. You know, there was a dish we discarded didn"t we, we"re making that. It"s perfect to make a lot of without taking much time. You remember how to do this right, Marcel-san! 」
「Ah, ahh…」
「What are you lingering about for! Didn"t you swear you wouldn"t embarra.s.s your boss nor his daughter!!」
Marcel-san slowly recovers the power in his eyes.
「I can"t suddenly prepare ingredients. We have to quickly make something with what we have right now. Put everything on the table and think! I"ll buy us some time. Bring out a large plate! 」
As Mitsuha said so, she takes the large cardboard box left in the corner of the kitchen. It"s 1 meter long on both sides.

「I prepared these for an after party with all the servants, however, bring these out and buy time! 」
A lot of bags came out the box. Squid head, squid fish, peanuts, roasted almonds, persimmon seeds, spicy rice, sauce cutlets, chocolate, rice crackers, potato chips… They open them one after another and serve them to the venue on the large plate.



「Change of schedule! Being out all the desserts! Immediately! 」
Guest with children will usually stay until the near the end. So, the desserts for children haven"t been brought out yet. Because the children would flock to them if we serve them at the beginning and would have made the crowd around Adelaide smaller, and they"ll only eat desserts and not the other dishes.
But still, serve them!
Most of the desserts were brought in by Mitsuha. In order to grab at children"s hearts and stomachs to favor the Liner family, she spared nothing. Take this, my final weapon!!
Mitsuha returned to the venue and took the microphone again.

『Everyone, excuse me for interrupting your conversations. The second course of foreign food, food that goes along with wine and dessert will be served now』
The guests listened with expectations in their hearts.
『These sacks go very well with alcohol. Please find out what alcohol it goes with by trying them for yourselves. Also, please enjoy the dessert together with juice. We are confident that not only the ladies and the children, but also the gentlemen will find them to be satisfactory』
The guests one after another gather around the snacks and desserts. Alright. When drinking alcohol, the consumption rate will decrease. If they get drunk, they wouldn"t eat much anymore. Also, you"ll quickly get full when eating dessert together with juice right.

For desserts; there are hall cakes, shortcakes, fruits, chocolate sweets, pudding, mousses, and cream puffs with ice cream and whatever inside. The children and ladies’ expressions change as they dig in.

The french-fries finished in the meantime and appeared, several special dishes were lined up behind schedule. The initially planned dishes continued, and somehow, the party reached the end without any interruptions in the serving or empty plates showing up. Was the party a success? Are you seriously asking that?

It was a truly astonishing night.
Earl Burder recalls the earlier party during the carriage ride home.
The skit at the beginning was a short but magnificent play. What mechanism was there in making that picture…
And the pretty and beautiful girl and the numerous wonderful costumes that made full use of the girl’s charm. In both terms of materials and crafting, how much did that worth?
Furthermore, the wonderfulness of that foreign cuisine and wine can"t be compared to anything!
Despite being able to prepare such things, how much money and influence do they need?  Even if it"s for a daughter’s debutante, does the Liner Viscount house have enough power that they are able to calmly use it for such things?
Umu, we ought to deepen our connection further with the Liner family. Besides……
It might be nice to have that adorable girl as a daughter, let’s give my sons a little encouragement…
The carriage took the pondering Earl on board towards his house in the capital.

The impressions of other guests were generally similar to Earl Burder.
However, the n.o.bles who have their daughter’s debutant closely approaching were full of worries and troubles.
Can we compare with this? Will my daughter’s debutant be evaluated in comparison with this? Help us. Someone do something about this……

And so, a number of n.o.bles lowered their heads towards Viscount Liner and asked for help, and General Store Mitsuha gain a favorable boost in profits.
However, only at the level of supplying ingredients, there wasn"t any hosting nor supplying equipment. After all its troublesome; the heavy responsibility, if it fails, is scary. Each of the skits will need various things put into them for their stars, please figure it out yourselves.

Liner Viscount House"s was special. They were a contact of the first customer, the Viscount couple and Marcel-san were good people, I would have worried about the shop without large-scale advertising, and I can take it easy afterward.
Eh, what about teaching other n.o.ble houses cooking? Marcel-san will teach them maybe.

Ah, after the party? Un, there were quite a few normal cuisines left over, all the cooks deep fry vegetable skins and devised various ways to make dishes from the leftovers, I had a fun after-party with all the servants. Of course, the Viscount and Adelaide-chan also partic.i.p.ated.
All the servants were disappointed that they miss eating the foreign foods and the bags I bought but they were delighted at the great success of debutant. Also, the people who work behind-the-scenes and in the kitchen who couldn"t see the skit were very disappointed. You guys already saw it at the rehearsal! 
Since the liquor was plenty enough, I drank with everyone. Eh, there is no age-limit here. Normally you will follow the local law, right.
Adelaide-chan also drank.
…I will never drink with Adelaide-chan again. Shut up(Urusai), don"t ask!

And so, I got 260 gold coins.
No, normally it would have cost more than 300 coins it seems.
Well, even for a kimono if it"s a bit expensive then it"s a few million, and dresses are that way too. It seems there are a few guys who sew jewels on clothing. Depending on the quality and number of jewelry, the price will skyrocket.
Plus food, even when talking about ordinary domestic cuisine it has to be the highest grade stupidly expensive ones, there is a need to prepare a few rare dishes for the n.o.bles who are tired of those, also at a level that bring doubts to one"s sanity. Well, it can"t be helped if you consider transportation and storage. Or so I, who has nothing to do with transportation and storage, tries to condescendingly critique.

So, 260 gold coins. Here it is equivalent to 26 million yen. When exchanged money for Earth money, it is about 6.5 million yen.
Yup, even if I deduct the cost of equipment and ingredients, it was quite profitable. Food that wasn"t completely bought in, besides the fish dishes, almost all used ingredients belonging to the Viscount.
Ah, the fish delivered for practice were brought separately. The Viscount"s family all normally ate them okay.
However, the payment to captain-san is quite large so I’ll leave the saving hole for next time.

The photos are perfect. 2 servants who were diligently trained, had taken photos and recorded a movie respectively on that day. Since it"s troublesome, let"s pa.s.s everything directly over to the manager. Probably, even without saying anything she will edit and copy them herself.
Let"s print a few movie stills and frame them. Of course, so I can sell them to the Viscount at a high price.
Manager? I"m going to make it myself of course. Life-size is going to be tough.
Ah, I"ll ask for the one for the Viscount along the way, free of charge. 

(tl note: I"m not sure what she is talking about here, I can"t imagine she would want a life-size posture for any reason other than selling it)

The day after the party my fatigue showed as expected, I spend all day in the store idling. The private area of the store has a well-prepared environment, I can spend time comfortably without ever going home. I have a bath as well. No, it would be more convenient to take a bath back home though.
Toilet, is…
If it"s the small one I can do it here. I brought over a western style toilet and installed it. Water also flows because a motor pump draws water from a water well into a water tank. But, the big one is… For one, it is possible to use it in case of visitors though, that"s, a deception…
For the moment, every time I teleport and use the one in my home.

Then, well, few days after that. The next day after a long absence, a really long absence I open the store and resumed normal business. It is so long, the old lady next door came over to see the situation. Her kindness stings me. I gave her a gift towel.
And closing time is a little past 15:00.

Chirin

A customer after a long time!
No, it isn"t that no one came after that. Several had come and there was a fair amount of sales too. Like shampoo, and shampoo, and shampoo.
No, other things are selling, of course. Just saying that female customers often buy shampoo. Steadily, the number of customers is increasing. I have secured enough sales to not be troubled with my livelihood. The profit ratio is high. Also, largely because the store is owned, not needing to pay rent is a big part.

So, well, my current customer.
He briskly walked straight to me and suddenly picked a fight.
「Bring out the fish」
Haa?

「I"m telling you to quickly bring out the fish! 」
「Em~, this is a general store though. If you are looking for fish then it would be better if you go to a fish dealer」
I don"t know if there are fish dealers in this town though. Probably, not.
I"m cold toward people with bad att.i.tudes.

「Don"t mess with me! I’ve already investigated whether this place is selling fish! Don"t you know what will happen if you don’t bring it out quickly! 」
「Eh, what happens? 」
「You, do you think you can offend the Baron Turkic and get away unharmed? 」
「Eh, mister is a Baron? 」
「What……」
The man"s mouth shut at Mitsuha"s question.

「Like, such a thing is true! I am the chef of Baron Turkic! 」
No, I knew he wasn"t a n.o.ble. Such a thing I can tell by looking.

「So, what business does the Baron’s chef have? 」
Mitsuha withdraws her customer service smile and expressionlessly replied detached words.

「Since coming back from the party the other day, my boss is always saying the cooking is unappetizing and began saying he wants to eat that cooking again. While listening, I heard the foreign cuisine used fish… As long as I have good ingredients I can make dishes like that too, If I have the ingredient! 」
Ah~……

「Em, that wasn"t selling fish separately, we accepted that order as part of the party"s contract, it was merely『 a necessary material provided because it was absolutely necessary for the fulfillment of the contract 』. In other words, we are not a business where we sell fish」
「What! Are you trying to deceive me by saying incomprehensible things! If you don"t shut up and do as I say……」

「It’s noisy」
Oh, Iris-sama appears.
Shoot, I completely forgot.

「Mitsuha, why didn"t you come! 」
「Ah, no about that, I was busy with various things…」
「And this person? Who"s he? Is he a customer? 」
The Baron’s chef was trembling at the clearly n.o.ble like women"s entrance.

「Ah, nope, it"s not a customer, absolutely not. I received an offer of『 if you don"t do what I say you’ll be harmed 』and was considering what to do…」
「Wha!」
At Mitsuha"s blatant explanation, the chef"s face changes color.

「You, what did you say…」
「What business do you have with our daughter? 」
The Earl came in after Iris-sama.
「Ee……」
A n.o.ble"s dignity that anyone could tell at a glance.

「No, nothing! I"m just a customer…」
「Ah, he seems to be Baron Turkic"s men. He told me if you don"t do what I say you’ll be…」
He ran away.
It was quite a magnificent escape.
「Let"s protest the Baron later」
Iris-sama was also coldly smiling.
Ah~……

After being "Donna, Donna" by Iris-sama, I was brought by carriage to the Bose house.
I"m sorry, I want to lock up so can I go back for a moment? 

(tl note: “Donna, Donna” is a song about a calf being led to slaughter)
