Chapter 1821: The Hero and the Set-Meal Restaurant ⑧
[Ahh~~ I see, rice-based dishes certainly are relatively uncommon in this world, and many people may not be familiar with them. However, if Kaito-kun is going to host a party, serving that kind of cuisine would be good.]
In fact, there are those I know such as Alice that fit that criteria, but when one speaks of otherworld cuisine, the one that comes to mind is Kaori-san.
Kaori-san runs a set-meal restaurant, so she has a wide repertoire, and she seems to have a good grasp of Japanese cuisine that suits the tastes of people in this world, so she's quite reliable.
In addition, Neun-san, who is familiar with Japanese ingredients, is also here, so this would be a good time to ask for advice. Well, the problem is that we haven't yet decided who to invite to the party, so this is more of a consultation on what kind of food people would like rather than a menu decision.
[In short, we are going to have some kind of home party, so you want my advice on what to serve huh Unnn. In that case, do you want me to help you?]
[Eh? I'd appreciate that, but is that alright?]
[Of course, you can always rely on Big Sis. And so, how many people are there going to be? About 20?]
To my surprise, Kaori-san is going to cooperate with me on the food-related aspects of the party. In this case, cooperation seems like it wouldn't only involve advice on menu creation, but also assistance in cooking and other aspects of the party.
I do feel apologetic, but Kaori-san seems quite enthusiastic, almost like she's the opportunity to act like my Senpai. How should I say this She looks kinda charming.
What she's doing makes me think of her as a Senpai rather than a Big Sis but I think it'd be boorish to point that out.
[In that case, since you're saying that, please allow me to accept your kind words. Since you have your own restaurant, please don't overexert yourself. I haven't thought about the exact number of people, but I'm guessing it will be around 100?]
[It's more than I expected. Come to think of it, Kaito-kun does have a lot of acquaintances. W- Well, umm, with that number, it should be alright.]
[Kaori-san, I don't think you should promise without thought]
Considering the size of the magic ship Kuro gave me, I think I can invite more people but since I'm limiting the party to acquaintances only this time, I think the number of attendees should be around that.
If it was only my acquaintances, I think it would be even less than 100, but considering that Ryze-san and Chris-san would be bringing some guards, thinking that the numbers would be around 100 should be alright.
[It's alright. Even though it may not seem like it, I'm quite skilled at cooking, and besides, once in a while, I want to show Kaito-kun a Senpai-like side of me and regain my dignity as the older one.]
[No, that's not it We're talking about a party hosted by Kaito-san here, okay? That would definitely be a gathering of the top figures from various fields]
[Eh? N- No, no, Kaito-kun certainly does have an impressive circle of friends, and while they're usually a bit overwhelming for me, such top figures are busy with their own responsibilities, so having all of those busy people attend might not be feasible]
[On Kaito-san's birthday, all the Six Kings, the Supreme Gods, God of Creation-sama herself, and the Three Rulers came, you know?]
[Ah Can we, like, forget what I said just now b- but if I tell him that, my dignity as the Senpai will]
While I was lost in thought, Neun-san and Kaori-san were whispering something to each other. I couldn't catch the content of their conversation, but I couldn't help but notice that Kaori-san's expression was very grim.
[At any rate, I'm in your care, Kaori-san! Having your help is very reassuring Let's talk about this in more detail later.]
[Unnn You can count on me]
The expression on Kaori-san's face, who for some reason, looked at me as if she had given up on everything, left quite an impression in my mind.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [I see, she's the type to make promises without thought and blunder]
