「Here you go, sir. Two each of salted pork cutlet, tongue, and liver.」

 

「More ale, landlady.」

 

「Yes, another ale. Lara-chan, please.」

 

「All right, Yukiko-chan.」

 

「I’ll have sashimi and morokyu.」

 

「Yes, sashimi and morokyu. So busy~」

 

「Landlady, I think you need to hire someone new…」

 

「We’re hiring now.」

 

「It would be nice to get a pretty girl like Lara-chan.」

 

「Customer-san, there’s another girl here too…」

 

「Hahaha, that’s right. The landlady is young, but her dignity makes her look a little older than she is.」

 

「I’m only eighteen…」

 

「There are not many women in the capital who own a store at that age.」

 

Tonight, I continued to serve food and drinks to the many customers who visited my store.

 

It had been about a month since I opened.

 

Fortunately, my store is thriving with many customers.

 

I was worried about opening a restaurant for the first time, but as the saying goes,『It’s easier to give birth than to think about it.』¹

 

I, Kashino Yukiko, the owner and landlady of the store, and my roommate, Lara, who lives on the second floor of the store, have been busy every day since the store opened.

 

Located in the back alleys of the commoner’s district in the southern part of the royal city of Sampeluk, my store『Nihon』is what is called a popular bar, and the main dishes are grilled skewers and snacks that go well with alcohol.

 

The other is an irregular restaurant that serves food that Lara and I can prepare together.

 

The skewers were mainly made of Wild Boar, a wild boar-like magical beast, Water Cow, a buffalo-type magical beast, and Active Horse, a horse-type wild beast, which lives in abundance in this world and are often eaten by common people as well as royalty and nobility.

 

Occasionally, the restaurant would offer a special menu with meat from rare monsters.

 

I guess it all depends on the ingredients we have that day.

 

Due to manpower issues, there were not many types of dishes on the menu, but since there were many dishes that were not available in this world of Farland, and since they were inexpensive for the common people, many customers came to the restaurant soon after it opened.

 

「One miso nikomi.」

 

「Yes, miso nikomi waiting.」

 

「Oh, that’s good. Hey, landlady.」

 

「What’s wrong?」

 

「Well, there was a commercial guild meeting the other day, and we had a drink afterward, but the food wasn’t very good. It seems to be the meat of a rare magical beast, but it smelled so bloody that it was inedible.」

 

「Ahh, so they didn’t drain the blood properly.」

 

「And it reeks of herbs. ]

 

To briefly explain the cuisine of this world, the only seasonings are salt and herbs.

 

The meat would be mainly hunted magical beasts, but since hunters and trappers try to catch as much as they can, they don’t prepare the meat well and it smells like flesh.

 

Apparently, they do not drain the blood from their prey.

 

On top of that, the preservation process is poor, so the meat goes bad very quickly.

 

To hide it, they tried to cook the meat with herbs to remove the bloody and foul smell, but the bloody smell remained inside, or the taste of the herbs used in large quantities lingered on the meat.

The old man I was talking to was the owner of a medium-sized business association in the capital, and he said that he occasionally had a feast at a commercial guild gathering, but the meat used was not in good condition, and he didn’t think it tasted very good, even though it was the meat of a rare magical beast.

 

「I felt like I was eating herbs. When they use so many herbs, the meat loses its flavor. The problem is that it still has a bloody smell.」

 

「It was very old meat, wasn’t it?」

 

「Yes, they say they got it from far away along the northern border.」

 

「At least it had to be chilled…」

 

「What kind of wizard would accept a request to transport meat?」

 

There are wizards in this world, but they don’t give much thought to the preservation of their catch, because they would rather make money by killing as many magical beasts as possible.

 

If you don’t pay attention to the condition of your food, you can’t make good food…

 

This is because this world is different from Earth, and the quantity of food is prioritized over quality.

 

Even if you bring back a small number of magical beasts while paying attention to the condition of their meat, unfortunately, it will not increase the amount of money you get.

 

It’s better to concentrate on killing as many as possible to get the most money.

 

「I’d rather have the wild boar skewers here. Liver, white, and kashiro with salt.」

 

「Yes, thank you for your continued patronage​.」²

 

Orders came in one after another, and I started to grill the wild boar meat and organs that I had prepared and skewered in advance over the charcoal fire.

 

Wild boar meat is similar to wild boar or pig meat, so I guess it’s like running a Yakitori restaurant.

 

In fact, I have a menu that uses meat from other magical beasts, but I didn’t have time to prepare it today.

 

I would still like to have another employee, but this is a different world from Japan I was in, so it’s not enough to just hire someone.

 

It’s not that easy to find a girl like Lara who you can trust.

 

「Lara-chan, let’s go on a date next time you’re off.」

 

「I’m sorry. I’m going out with Yukiko-chan on my next day off.」

 

A young male customer asked her out on a date, but Lara dodged the offer lightly.

 

Saying that she’s going on a date with me.

 

It’s true that we often go out together on holidays.

 

「What’s the matter, the landlady is very popular.」

 

「Is that bad?」

 

「No, the landlady is very handsome.」

 

「I’m a woman.」

 

「That’s obvious, but since you’re the owner of the store at such a young age, it’s only natural that you have dignity. Unlike me.」

 

「I’m a frail maiden like Lara-chan, and I work hard to make a living.」

 

「Frail…? How many decades ago was that? That.」

 

「I’m only eighteen!」

 

「「「「「「「「「Hahahaha! 」」」」」」」」」」

 

The regular customers burst out laughing, listening to the regularly occurring exchange.

 

In fact, I was a normal high school girl in Japan until just a year ago… My hobbies and interests may not be normal, but… one day I was suddenly transported to this world, so I made an effort to live. I’ve been working hard to survive and become the owner of this store.

 

Yes, my name is Kashino Yukiko, and I’m eighteen years old.

 

I am the owner and proprietor of『Nihon』, a restaurant that serves grilled skewers, whimsical dishes, and drinks.

 

Come to think of it, I wonder how my parents are doing, as they should still be alive.
