The place with the doctor fish was warmer than expected, and one could see them eating human dead skin cells and skin.
"It's fascinating. It's ticklish, but it's not a bad feeling."
Fiore said with a smile, but Chiron said this.
"Still, it's better not to stay too long. Even though they eat dead skin and skin, they don't discriminate what they eat, and it's not a confirmed therapeutic method, so it's probably okay to experience it just for the experience. I recommend doing it briefly, as soaking too long could damage the skin."
"I see…"
At Chiron's explanation here, Fiore's expression slightly soured.
"Chiron…, we're trying to enjoy ourselves for a moment. Is there a need to explain it like that?"
"Haha, it seems my occupational habit has come out without me realizing it."
"But still, the hot spring seems better than the fish, right?"
"That's correct. It's ticklish, but it makes you think the hot spring was better."
"Master, that aside, isn't it time to eat? Somewhere to eat something here…."
I looked around, but there weren't many edible kinds.
The most common was the burger shop, which had the most variety. Other than that, the menus lacked diversity, but one could see Korean-style snacks, Korean food, Japanese food, Chinese food, etc.
Even if you combined all four, there were only about 9 menu items…. And finally, there was also mapo tofu.
"?"
Why is mapo tofu here?
It also had 'Hongju Yeonsegwan Taesan' written on it.
"……. Surely not?"
"Master… it's not, right?"
"Aaaaaa!? No, right??"
"Why? What did you see to react like that?"
"Hyeek!?"
Everyone was startled looking at the mapo tofu, but Mordred seemed unaware.
"No, why would I eat that. I was just looking out of curiosity. I'm thinking of making do with Korean food or burgers here."
"I don't care…. As long as it's not that (mapo tofu)."
"Phew, I almost lost 100 years off my lifespan. As for me, I'll try the Korean food."
"Yeah, Mama will have anything except that."
"Then, I'll have the same as Father."
"I'll go with bread-type food."
"What about you, Fiore?"
"I'll go later. I'm not particularly hungry right now."
"I'll go later with Miss Fiore."
And so, I went to find Gorde and Bazett once.
"Gorde, Bazett, would you like to go eat together?"
"Meal? Hmm, I am hungry, so let's go together."
"Then, I'll go too."
"I'll go along too."
And so, we went to eat together.
"Wow~ are those people some celebrity group?"
"I've never seen celebrities like that on TV!"
"What kind of combination is this, handsome men and beautiful women!?"
"Fuck! They're so looks-obsessed!!"
"You bastards!!!"
Some were despairing over their looks, having their boyfriend/girlfriend's gaze stolen, and there were couples sobbing.
Especially, gazes were stolen by Tiamat and Artoria, and among men, it was Siegfried who stole women's gazes.
Anyway, the repeating envy and curses remained unchanged, so I asked Medea.
"Was a perception-blocking spell cast?"
"Yes…, it's already past the limit. Because of our appearances gathered as a group. I'm not sure if it's perception-blocking interference, but anyway, the magecraft is being neutralized. Perhaps due to the influence of high Magic Resistance, or maybe because of everyone's looks or specific body parts, I don't know."
Hey Medea? Your eyes are dying, you know?
Medea looked at her own chest.
"Am I just not in the middle…."
She had an extremely sullen expression, and tears seemed to gather and fall drop by drop.
"…… Fighting."
"Yes…… Next time, I should try making a breast-enlarging potion or something."
"Do that."
And so, we went to the restaurant to order.
Everyone sat down and waited, and I chose the menu.
"Chirp, I'll be in charge of the cooking!"
"No, why are you here, Benienma?"
"Everyone is frustrated and in the restroom."
"……."
They seem to have had some big misunderstanding? Or maybe they despaired at Benienma's cooking skills.
Ha, they might think she's a talent monster, or get paranoid thinking, 'Damn, her cooking is worse than a child's'….
"Medea, can you erase the cooks' memories later…. I have a feeling they misunderstood something?"
"Yes… if it really seems that way, I'll take care of it."
The fortunate thing was that the people at the burger shop were fine.
"I'll order two of every burger here. Payment with this. For drinks, cola, matching the number of people."
"Huh? Yes, understood!"
There were 9 types of burgers, totaling 18, and drinks were ordered as 500ml matching the number of people, paid with a check card.
Afterwards, I asked Benienma.
"What can you cook?"
"First, all the foods on the current menu are possible, just… except Japanese food, it's a bit difficult, I should say… But I'm better than the staff. It's okay!"
The burger shop people flinched.
What on earth happened… those people….
"Medea, modify the burger shop people's memories too… no, just leave it…."
"……."
And so, Benienma cooked for us.
Snacks: Tteokbokki and fish cake soup
Korean food: Bibimbap and gimbap
Japanese food: Soba, udon
Chinese: Couldn't make mapo tofu (Benienma gave up too), made dumplings and sweet and sour pork.
Basically, what was provided were plates with water and a bowl of white rice, and plates with kimchi and dipping sauce.
"Even though I made it, you still have to pay."
"Got it. How do we pay?"
"Huek? Um, how do you do this?"
Since Benienma didn't know how to pay with the machine, I paid instead, and the staff didn't even think of returning until our meal was over.
Meanwhile, Artoria and Mordred were simply eating burgers while also eating the snack food, Korean food, Japanese food, and Chinese food.
"Are your stomachs black holes…."
"No, it's because it's delicious!"
"You mean anything but British food is delicious."
At those words, the two nodded, and I didn't even want to understand what happened to British food.
While maintaining chivalry, what did they endure the mental pollution of food with? That's what I was most curious about.
"Mumble mumble…"
Tiamat was eating relatively normally.
Tamamo, holding out a spoon to me, said
"Say 'ah~' and try it."
Thwack!
Clatter.
The spoon and food fell to the floor as Tiamat said.
"I think I should be the one to do that. Akira, say 'ah~' and try."
At Tiamat's obstruction, Tamamo's fists were trembling.
"What right do you have to do that!?"
"As Mama."
"Ugh…. Impossible to refute!"
"You're playing around quite well…."
Then, Li Shuwen came over and said.
"Is it mealtime? Well, I was hungry, but it's a bit disappointing. Benienma, can I use the cooking ingredients?"
"Yes, it's fine."
And so, Li Shuwen's cooking began.
It was dumplings.
"Hmm…, I can manage this much."
It seems it's the first food he's learned in the modern era.
"Chirp, it's okay."
Even Benienma expressed that it was okay.
Anyway, Li Shuwen tasted the dumplings himself, and after confirming there were no issues, he placed them on plates and delivered them to each person.
"No more, I can't take it!‘
Gorde Musik was KO'd, and afterwards, two knights survived.
Artoria and Mordred seem intent on depleting the food supplies as a pair.
"Hoo… I was beaten by a kid…."
Meanwhile, some staff members began to appear, and in the process, they looked at us and then.
"Sir, if you cook here…. Please at least pay for the ingredient costs…."
Whether their pride was crushed or not, at the staff member's words asking to at least pay for the ingredients, I handed over my card and said.
"Please use this for payment first."
"Ah… yes."
And so, the staff member accepted the payment, and when I paid an additional 1 million yen, they bowed and expressed thanks.
As the meal was almost over, we played in the pool again and spent time until sunset.
Afterwards, when night fell, we settled into a hotel…
"You've booked 5 triple rooms? Here are the keys, and if there's any menu you'd like to order, please press the bell in the room. Menu payment must be prepaid."
"How are you planning to assign the rooms?"
"Hmm…. Could I borrow some paper and a pen?"
"Yes, use as much as you like."
The clerk gave paper and a pen, and I began writing.
Room 1
Akira
Tiamat
Tamamo
Benienma
Room 2
Artoria
Mordred
Medea
Room 3
Lancelot
Li Shuwen
Chiron
Room 4
Gorde Musik
Siegfried
Room 5
Fiore Forvedge
Bazett Fraga McRemitz
Olga Marie
The reason for setting Room 1 like this was simple.
Tamamo and Benienma had animal attributes and the advantage of being able to shrink in size, and placing one of them elsewhere seemed somewhat ambiguous, so I had no choice but to attach both to my side.
Tiamat naturally came along, and as for Room 2, Artoria and Mordred had a close family relationship, and considering Medea didn't know where to go, she was sent to Room 2.
For Room 3, there was a high possibility Lancelot would approach married women, so I had no choice but to send them in this combination, and Room 4 was an arrangement where Gorde Musik could feel at ease.
As for Room 5, it was to match a female-only combination without men, but since they were all magi, they ended up in this combination.
"Master!?"
"Chirp? Do you have a complaint?"
"No…."
Well, Tamamo's suspicious actions were thwarted by Benienma, but anyway, the rooms were settled in this structure.
