　Once all the ingredients were fired, it looked like all the guests’ stomachs had calmed down quite a bit. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

　Chairs are being set up in the garden, and everyone is enjoying tea while sitting down.

　Time is flowing at a relaxed pace.

「Alfried, I want to eat this king shrimp and scallop」

「I want shishitou pepper and potato」

　While everyone else is having their tea time after the meal, Gideon and Shelka were still staying in front of the cooking space and asking for more.

　Although we have served them more than 30 skewers, it seems like the two of them can still eat more.

　Student’s appetite for food is amazing.

「I’m sorry. Please let me get some rest. I will leave the rest to the chefs of the Misfid house」

　Nonetheless, I have been standing all along this time, so as expected, I got tired.

　Leaving the two starving people to the young chef of Misfid's house, I got a platter of skewers I had reserved for myself and left the cooking space.

　I sit down on an empty seat opposite the cooking space.

　After drinking fruit water and let out a sigh, I decided to eat the skewers I had fried myself.

　First is the eggplant.

　The coating is crispy and juicy inside.

「Un, this is delicious」

　It’s so satisfying, you can’t imagine it was a vegetable.

　Adding sauce to it deepens the richness, and eating with salt brings out the sweetness from the eggplant.

　After the eggplant is the onion. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

　It has crunchy coatings outside with sweetness that spreads out from the inside. The sweetness that spreads with every bite is irresistible.

　Adding sauce gives a good balance with the sourness.

　Onions will still remain overly crunchy if not cooked properly and leave a sharp taste, but there’s none of that in this onion. It was fried at just the right level, even if I say so myself.

　Once I ate the onion, the next was the black pig meat.

　When I chew it, the characteristic strong sweetness and the umami from the black pig spread out.

「Un, the meat has a nice chewy bite to it, it’s good」

　The meat has a strong chewiness and meat juice oozes out each time my teeth bite into it. Each bite is really something else.

「May we sit with you?」

　Just as I was heartily eating skewers like that, Schugel - accompanied by Floria - came over.

　……you may not. I’m still eating skewers. Please go over there instead. How happy I would be if I could say something like that.

「Please」

「Excuse me then」

　After enjoying about 10 skewers, my stomach has finally calmed down.

　And thinking about it that way, perhaps Schugel also paid attention to that since I was cooking.

　Nah, but he’s obviously still impatient as someone who comes to someone who is eating.

　I’d be happy if he could wait until I finish eating, though.

「Schugel-sama, how were the deep-fried skewers?」

　I asked Schugel after wiping the area around my mouth clean with a napkin.

　The main reason for today’s party is for Schugel to try the skewers after all. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「I am delighted by it. I did not think you could bring out the flavor of the ingredients this much by frying them. It is truly a wonderful cooking」

「It was fascinating, we can enjoy various ingredients, and they are in bite-sized pieces and are easy to eat」

　Schugel has a satisfied look on his face while Floria said that with a smile.

「Also, Alfried-dono’s suggestion of having the chefs cook in the venue themselves to serve the food was interesting」

　I thought it was similar to when a chef cuts roast beef in a party venue, but it seems like that is not something you see much in noble culture around here.

　That’s unexpected. I mean, the nobles are going to be pleased if you show the chefs demonstrating their cooking with the iron plate cooking method

「I would like to introduce these skewers at the next high society party from our Misfid house.  Is it possible to purchase the official recipe for the skewers from you, Alfried-dono? Although you have already given some guidance to our chefs, and this is a bit late.....」

　He must have heard from Bernard that they have received guidance on deep-fried skewers.

　Schugel said while smiling wryly.

「I don’t mind. I would appreciate it if you could discuss the details with the head of my family, my father」

「Got it. I will do that」

　Secret technique, leaving everything entirely to someone else.

　Perhaps Nord-tousan sensed from how things have been going and already expects that things would turn out this way by the time the deep-fried skewers tasting event begins. I saw him discussing things with Elna-kaasan in the middle of the night, so Nord-tousan has probably prepared the draft for the details.

「Now, it is now up to Gregor-dono」

　Once the talk about the deep-fried skewer is done, Schugel’s gaze moved into the distance.

　At a table a little distance from ours, Gregor and Barnack were having a discussion.

　Barnack is scanning the script for the puppet show, and Gregor is desperately negotiating with him while holding a doll in his hand. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「From the looks of it, the reaction is kind of subtle, isn't it 」

　Gregor is desperately trying to convey the merit of the puppet show, but Barnack does not appear to quite understand it.

　A puppet show has never been performed in public in the royal capital, and no one has ever performed it before.

　Even Barnach has probably never seen it before.

　Even so, if he explain it properly, then Barnack - who is well-versed in arts - is going to understand it, but perhaps it’s due to his strong love of dolls that Gregor’s words feel very biased. Even I might not understand it with that kind of explanation.

「Alfried-dono, can I ask you to support him?」

「If it is about support, would Schugel-sama be more suitable?」

　Schugel is acquainted with Barnack and has a good relationship with him.

　Even when he arrived at the party, the two of them were so friendly with each other.

　Wouldn’t it be better for Schugel to support him rather than me?

「I certainly have a good relationship with Barnack, but his feelings about the arts will not be moved by just that alone. And Alfried-dono's words as someone who truly understands the meaning of puppet show carry weight」

　……err no, I really don’t like dolls that much, you know.

　Although I can’t agree that he thought of me as a doll lover on the same level as Gregor, there’s no point in bringing that up now.

「Understood. I will try」

　Although it was just a joke, I was the one who suggested the puppet show to Gregor after all.  Let’s back him up to make his business 

「Gregor, how is the talk about the puppet show?」

「Maybe it is because I am explaining it poorly, but I could not convey it well to Barnack-sama....」

「Barnack-sama, may I have the honor to sit with you as well?」

「Aah, I don’t mind. I have heard that this puppet show was originally Alfried-dono’s suggestion. Please let me hear what you have to say as well」

「Then, allow me to explain」

　I took a seat next to Gregor after receiving Barnack’s permission. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
