Wushi Meat After A Long Time

 

 After we finished paying our bill in the magic stone craft store, we returned to the carriage empty-handed. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 The stuff we bought will be sent to the Misfid family mansion by today.

 And of course, it’s free. As expected from a high-class store, their services are excellent.

 It’s really helpful since it’s scary to think of bringing those delicate items while walking around.

「Glad we bought nice lamps, right」

「It’s all thanks to the two of you helping me. Thank you」

「You’re welcome」

 Thanks to the two of them recommending all sorts of lamps, I was able to narrow down to the ones I liked and find them.

 I probably wouldn’t have found those lamps if I were to search it alone.

 I was able to buy souvenirs for my family so I’m very satisfied. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 Incidentally, I also bought some magic stone fragments as souvenirs for Mina, Sara, Mel, and the others.

 They were fragments made at the time when the magic stones were processed but they are still pretty.

 It would be interesting to process it myself and make it into something like pendants or bracelets.

「What should we do next? We can continue and visit more stores like this or we can have lunch while taking a break」

 Loretta asks when the carriage advances.

 Quite a lot of time has passed since we stayed for a long time inside the magic stone craft store.

 It’s not quite noon yet, but a little before noon.

「Ra-chan, are you tired?」

「I’m fine!」

 I’m worried about Ra-chan’s stamina, but she appears absolutely fine.

 Her complexion is also good and it doesn’t feel like she forces herself.

「Then, let’s have lunch?」

「Ehー? But, I’m not tired, you know?」

 Due to the question from earlier, Ra-chan seemed to have realized that I was being considerate of her despite still being young.

 She pouts and looks displeased.

「High-class stores are fresh and fun, but I’m not used to them you know. So I want to take a break」

 Frankly, I’m just tired.

「Is that so?」

「Un. That’s why, how about we go around the street food stalls in the central district next? I want to walk around slowly while eating there」

「I want to go! Loretta, can I?」

 She immediately asks Loretta permission about it, she had probably been told not to go to the central district on a regular basis. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 For children of Ra-chan’s status, it’s safer to just avoid places that are not safe.

「It’s okay. Just that, please don’t leave our side, alright?」

「Okay! Thank you, Loretta!」

 I’m sure she would have jumped up and down in joy if we were not inside the carriage. That’s how happy Ra-chan is right now.

 Loretta also seems to understand some martial arts judging from her form, and I’m also here.

 It wouldn’t be a problem as long as we don’t get separated.

 And so, we change the carriage’s course and start heading south toward the main street.

 The main street of the royal capital is wide, but there are also many passersby.

 When it’s crowded with people, carriages won’t be able to advance, but our carriage is not going to be affected by something like that.

「Amazing. People are moving away」

「Everyone, they’re so kind」

 Rather than kindness, it would be the feeling of awe instead.

 I mean, this carriage bears the crest of the Misfid house after all.

 Borrowing the authority of the Duke’s house to push the people aside, the pleasant feeling of doing that seems like it’s going to be addictive. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 I want to try swaggering down the main street of the royal capital for no reason with this carriage.

 As I gazed at the scenery outside while thinking of such a stupid thing, the carriage came to a stop in the public square in the central district.

「This is as far as we can go in a carriage. Let us go on foot from hereon」

 There are also people densely packed beyond this. Going forward by carriage is going to be as fast as walking anyway.

 We got off the carriage after hearing Loretta.

「Shall we go south then?」

「Un!」

 We asked the coachman to wait here and headed south of the main street.

 As we continued to walk, before long food stalls started to line up on both sides of the street.

 Perhaps it’s because it’s almost time for lunch since there are high-spirited voices calling customers resounding here and there.

 This place is as lively as always.

 It might be tiring if you were to come here every day, but occasionally coming here is a fresh experience and fun.

「Ra-chan, do you have something you want to eat?」

「I want to eat that!」

 Ra-chan pointed with her finger when I tried asking.

 When I looked at the place her finger pointed to, there was an adventurer-like man heartily skewers of meat.

「You want to eat meat skewers?」

「Un! That look tasty!」

 Perhaps she got curious about it since she normally wouldn’t eat something with that style.

 It may not be suitable for the young lady of a Duke’s house, but Lorettta - who is standing behind her - doesn’t say anything so it appears that it’s okay. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Okay. Let’s have some meat skewers then. There are various types of meat skewers, which ones do you like?」

「Which one is tastier?」

 Although she wants to eat meat skewers, she doesn’t seem to have any specific preference, like chicken meat or pork.

 As I was wondering which to choose, I suddenly saw a familiar uncle.

 It’s the Wushi food stall I bought when I first came to the capital.

「Then, how about the Wushi skewers over there?」

「Then, that!」

 Since I’ve also received Ra-chan’s agreement, we headed to the Wushi food stall.

「Oh, young master. You came again, eh!」 1

「You remembered me」

「Hehe, it’s a business that deals with the customers anyway. And I won't forget people that easily」

 It’s been about a year since I came to this stall.

 It’s on the first day and when I came here with Eric at that time.

 Even though it’s only those two times I’m happy he remembers me.

「Three Wushi meat skewers please」

「’aight. Wait a bit until it’s cooked」

 After paying copper coins for three portions, the uncle grilled the Wushi meat for us.

 Ra-chan looked at his action with great interest.

「You’ve got a very cute girl with you this time, eh. She your girlfriend?」

 Having such a topic to kill time is a little bad for the heart. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 If Ra-chan were to ask ‘What is a girlfriend?, then  I wouldn’t know how to respond.

「She’s not」

「Whaat, so it’s not?」

 I curtly answered and closed the conversation without expanding the topic further.

 Perhaps this uncle also thought of that as a joke as he just smiled cheerfully without delving deeper.

 Yosh, next I’ll just bring up a random topic so Ra-chan won’t be interested in our exchange――

「Al, what is a ‘girlfriend’?」

 I was too late. The question I was dreading came flying at me.

 However, there’s no need to be afraid. There is a suitable person to teach her about that here.

「That is, you should ask Loretta as your instructor to tell you」

「Eehh!?」

 Maybe she didn’t think that I would leave all the explaining to her since Loretta let out a wild voice.

 I know that Loretta is Ra-chan’s attendant maid as well as her instructor.

 Such things are best left to her.

 I’ve been through such scenes of carnage several times after all. It is easy to confuse a four-year-old.

「Al tell me」

「Eh? Why?」

「Al was asked before, right? So Al tell me」

 That was an unexpected truth from Ra-chan.

 It seems like the excuse of ‘Since you’re young, it’s better for your instructor Loretta to properly teach you about it’ won’t work. She wants to hear it from me.

「……a girlfriend is, a word that refers to a woman」

「I know. Can you tell me another meaning of girlfriend?」

「There is no other meaning, you know」

「There is! If not then your conversation before will be weird mon!」

「Hoii! Here’s your Wushi meat skewers!」

 Ra-chan looked dissatisfied with my explanation, but the Wushi meat skewers were grilled just at the right time.

 What an extremely good timing.

「Look, the skewers are done let’s eat it」

 After receiving the skewers from the uncle, I handed Ra-chan and Loretta’s portion too, and left the food stall. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「It is lunch time so all the benches are filled. Where should we find some empty seats and eat――」

 Loretta was about to suggest we look for somewhere to sit but was already eating the Wushi skewers.

 Ah, now I’ve done it.

 Would it be better to find someplace to sit properly first before eating it for Ra-chan’s education?

 

「It’s tasty!」

 So I thought, but Ra-chan - who was beside me - copied what I did and ate the Wushi skewers.

「Ranna-sama, it is improper to eat while standing on the roadside!」

「But, Al and other people also eat while standing, you know?」

「That is, umm.....」

 If she were to affirm that, then it would become like direct criticism for me and the other people around here who are eating while standing.

 As expected, even Loretta seems to be unable to do that.

「Well now, today is the day to do this kind of thing」

「……yes」

 Thanks to the crowd there is no empty seat and the Wushi meat will end up cold while we’re searching. So it is ‘when in Rome do as the Romans do’. Sorry about that.

「Ah, this is delicious」

「Right?」

 Loretta ate the meat skewer with a resigned expression on her face, but she let out her impression of the meat while opening her eyes wide.

 It feels nice when someone also likes things you personally like.

 Giving a sidelong glance at Loretta who is eating the skewers heartily, I also took a second bite of mine.

 It’s juicy and chewy, with a springy texture that releases a burst of umami when you chew on it.

 It went perfectly with the rich and salty-sweet sauce.

 Eating Wushi meat after a long time feels special.

「Al, I want to try different skewers next!」

「Then, let’s try seafood skewers this time!」

「Un!」

 Leaving out the formal manner of eating, Ra-chan and I went around the food stall street. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
