I donât want to get any older. I have to make sounds just while getting up from the bed.
I wonder if I was too frolic yesterday and moved too much? It was the first time in a while. Since I shopped and had lunch with someone. It was very fun.
Now then, letâs change clothes and get going. The pants are chestnut color long skirt-like pants. I wonder if itâs not too different from what people in the town wear. The top is camel high-neck sweater.
I should put the cardigan on until I go out.
Well, letâs have breakfast.
ăGood morning, Mistressă
ăGood morning, Koyu-samaă
Are? Her wording is different from the usual? Why? Sama?
ăWhere would you like to eat? Shall I take it to your room? Also, Iâm sorry for being impolite yesterdayă
ăNo. Itâs me who showed you something so unsightly. Iâm very sorryă
ăSo are we. We have troubled Customer-samaă
ăNo, that was my fault. Iâm sorryă
ăNo, no, Customer-sama doesnât need to be considerate. Iâm really, really sorryă
âŚâŚ âŚâŚ
Two people bicker at the dining roomâs entrance. They look at each other and laugh. Fufu.
ăIâm truly sorry. By the way, the breakfastâŚâŚă
ăAh, forgive me. Where would you like to eat?ă
ăI will eat here. I will take a seat and wait, okay?ă
ăIs fruit water fine for the drink?ă
ăNo, tea or hot water if possibleă
ăTea, is itâŚâŚ Iâm terribly sorry. Our placeâŚâŚ I will bring you some hot wateră
ăThank you very much. I will be troubling youă
Looking around, there is a vacant two-seater in the corner of the room.
Shall we eat leisurely?
After a short while of waiting, the breakfast was carried in. The same soup and rye bread as yesterday. And I have prepared that this morning. Fufu. Tomato puree! One of the things I bought at product exhibition. Actually, itâs one of the things I bought for the country life. I thought it could become the standard for the tomatoes I would raise and boil down.
But you see, as expected, Iâm getting tired of the same taste. There was something similar to a tomato at the market, so something like this wouldnât be strange in this world?
I have also found small earthenware pots with a lid so I bought a few. Yes, I thought about it carefully. To spend my time in this world as similarly to the residents as possible. I take out the tomato puree which I repacked into the pot.
Two spoons into soup.
Un, tomatoâs good tasting acidic taste has mixed with the saltiness.
Delicious!! Ah~ Happiness. If itâs like this, I can expect the bread to taste good as well. Un. Delicious!!
But, if I eat it all, I may consume too much salt. If Insurance Lady-san were here, she would definitely scold me. Letâs endure and leave a bit of soup. If itâs this much, my life surely wonât become wasteful, right? Husband.
Although the bread was difficult to eat, as usual, it went down easier thanks to the hot water.
Itâs my favorite bread because I feel both acidity and sweetness when I chew. A simple tasteâŚâŚ Shin-chan, you could only eat such bread, didnât youâŚâŚ When you were small.
Remembering my grandchild makes me feel a little downcast.
ăThank you for the meală
I join my hands and appreciate the meal. After doing that, my mood quickly returns.
I tell Mistress that it was delicious and return to my room to make preparations for the departure. I drain the scattered hair around the pillow and the water I used for the laundry down the toilet and change the cardigan for the robe.
Oh yeah, the toilets in this world are simply flushed with water. After doing the deed, you flush it with water in a pot next to the toilet. Iâm just glad itâs not a pot toilet.
Saa, letâs go on the trip!!
ăIâm indebted to you. I have caused you many troubles. Iâm truly sorry. Itâs a meager amount, but I would like you to accept it for the inconveniences I have causedă
I have handed Mistress a slight tip. Now then, letâs go to the guild.
Ara, this is. Iglan-sanâs bakery. Letâs buy bread for lunch.
Umm, how many people were there in total again?
ăGood morning, Iglan-san. Could you divide bread a little for me, please?ă
Five black rye bread, ummâŚâŚ 10 Copper coins. Thatâs probably the right amount?
I held out the money.
ăHoi, itâs five. Thanks. Itâs not wrongă
After the greetings, Iglan-san looked at me with uneasy expression, but it seems I was correct. I feel relieved.
ăIâm departing today. Please convey Maris-kun my gratitude, okay? He was very kind to me. You have a good sonă
I convey my gratitude for Maris-kun whom I canât see and leave the bakery.
Koyu-sama who was introduced to us by Anna-san from the guild left today.
HaaâŚâŚ I sit down in the chair as if my tension thread was snapped. Even though there are still many customers.
The regular customers clap on our shoulders and leave.
Also, the customers who were here yesterday shrug their shoulders and return to their rooms.
Iâm seriously exhausted!! If the guest of honor which was introduced by guild evaluates us positively, they will introduce another guest to us again.
However, she was always polite without complaining. Several times Iâm sorry and excuse meâŚâŚ Thatâs essentially what we are supposed to do.
A cozy room. Delicious meals. Serving with a smile.
Because we are busy every day, I wonder if we were not courteous enough? Did we satisfy the customer? Iâm forced to think.
I feel like being taken back at the times where we began this inn.
Letâs start all over again starting today. No matter who, letâs make it a place customers would love to return.
ăDear, look at this plateă
N, this plate from the meal Koyu-sama was eating. What, the soup is red!
What is this red soup? I put a finger in and lick. Itâs sweet and deliciousâŚâŚ I can feel acidity as wellâŚâŚ T, this tastes like Mate.
ăOi, it have you seen Koyu-sama put something in the soup?ă
ăI feel like I have seen a small pot, butâŚâŚă
ăTry licking it, I feel that itâs probably Mate, bută
ăYeah!! This is Mateă
ăDoing something with MateâŚâŚ will make soup so deliciousâŚâŚă
ăKoyu-samaâŚâŚă
ăLetâs complete this taste before Koyu-sama comes again!ă
ăKoyu-sama has taught us an unknown taste, didnât she?ă
Koyu-sama, thank you very much. I will complete this taste, this soup when you visit us next.
With this gold coin, you gave us.
âââ Inner cry of Baker Iglan âââ
The granny from the day before yesterday came early in the morning. Today, sheâs wearing a brown shirt and skirt, under a gray robe. Someone must have cautioned her about her clothes. The rich-person aura around her hasnât changed yet, though. Her tone was stupidly overpolite as ever. Ou, sheâs going on travel today? Anna said she arranged A-Rank guards for her. Then, it will be alright.
N? Maris? Ou, heâs a good child, right? Heâs sensible and smart. And gentle. I know. I will tell him.
Rather than that Baasan, there are not only good people in the world. Be careful.
