CHAPTER 49 – HARBOR TOWN BAILEY

After successfully capturing the tenth floor, we have returned to the hall on the first floor where we spend the night .

Of course, we have thoroughly enjoyed Kani Nabe for dinner . I used miso based soup and used not only crabs but also other seafood such as shrimps and plenty vegetables .

Sand Crabs are really delicious . Allen and Elena stuffed their cheeks full . They were chewing with inflated cheeks, looking like cute squirrels~

And the next morning, we have arrived in Bailey .

When we entered the town, we headed towards the harbor first . Bailey is connected to a sea, so many boats are coming in and out of the harbor .

Fishing boats and merchant ships transporting people and goods to other countries . Large and small ships are lined up in the harbor .

Despite it being early in the morning, the square near the harbor is crowded with many people .

It’s a morning market . The fresh marine products caught in the morning are being sold here .

There are also many stalls where you can eat on the spot .

We have not eaten breakfast this morning yet . I thought that such place would be in a harbor town, so we came here early in the morning .

We have spotted many street stall and shops while looking around .

A shop selling fresh fish . A shop selling fish and shellfish grilled on a charcoal fire . A considerable variety of seafood is being sold .

Oh, this shop is selling scallops .

This stall is selling scallops in shells on top of a grill . The muscles of these scallops are larger than of the Yesso Scallops I’m familiar with .

「Hello」

「Ou, welcome . These were caught just this morning . Would you like to eat some?」

「They look delicious . Is this seasoned with salt?」

「Yeah, that’s right」

「If possible, I would like to season it myself, is it okay?」

「A different seasoning? Well, I don’t mind」

「Then, can I have three?」

「Yes . Then……――」

I pay the money and place a piece of butter on top of the muscles . When the butter melts, I sprinkle it with soy sauce .

The butter and soy sauce heat up in a blink of an eye and a delicious smell floats around .

It’s butter-soy sauce grilled scallop . Scallops should be done like this when it comes to grill, right?

「Allen, Elena . It’s hot so be careful when eating, okay?」

「「Ye~s」」

When I hand the hot shells to Allen and Elena after transferring it on a plate, the two fuufuu… cool it down and start eating .

「Allen, Elena . How is it? Delicious?」

「「Delish~」」

Seeing Allen and Elena eat so deliciously, I take the big scallop and eat too .

Terrific! Delicious!!

The muscle is so tender and delicious . Moreover, because it’s so big, I got quite filled with just one .

「「Onii~chan, delish~?」」

「Un, delicious」

Somehow, I feel warm and fluffy~

「S, smells really good . Niichan, I understand the first thing was butter, but what was the dark liquid?」

「It’s a sap from a tree called Koikuchi which grows in dungeons, it’s seasoning called Soy Sauce . Would you like to try?」

「I, is that okay!? Please!」

The stall owner who watched us eat seemed to want to try it too . The fragrance of butter and soy sauce is really appetizing after all .

When I asked if he wants to try, he immediately bit the bait . Therefore, when I finished making the scallop with the same procedure as before, the stall owner immediately chomped it down .

「Delicious!! What is this, I have never tasted something so delicious . So good!」

Super-high praise . The stall owner finished eating in a blink of an eye .

I know it’s delicious, but let’s calm down a bit . If you shout so loud, you will attract the attention of the surroundin――

「Oyaji, that looks delicious . I’d like to eat that too!」

「Me too!」

「Give me some too~」

「I would like some too」

Are? The surroundings had gathered before I noticed…… It appears that the passersby already gathered because of the fragrance .

「「Ah~」」

Unconsciously, the stall owner and I leak out a voice .

「Niichan…… could you lend me that soy sauce?」

「Maa, I’m also responsible, I don’t mind」

I obtained quite a lot of soy sauce in the town of Shirin, so there’s no problem selling a bottle to this uncle .

Rather, butter and soy sauce scallops are not a product here . If I said something wrong, the people here would probably riot .

「Sorry about that~ By the way, could you lend me some butter too?」

「Ah~ Sure」

Lured by the fragrance, customers seeking butter and soy sauce scallops formed a queue .

The stall owner stuffed the grill with scallops to the limit .

Because I couldn’t just feign ignorance and leave, I was in charge of putting butter and soy sauce over the scallops .

Allen and Elena who finished eating their scallops were clinging to my legs while quietly observing the situation .

「Sorry . We are sold out!」

The scallops ran out of stock in no time . People who hadn’t eaten yet walked away from the stall with disappointed expressions .

To be honest, I didn’t expect such thing to happen .

「To be sold out so early, it’s my first time since setting the stall up . Niichan, sorry, you even had to help me~」

「Iya~ I was surprised that so many people came~」

「You don’t see such seasonings around here after all . The tempting appetizing smell makes it even better . Everyone would get attracted by it」

From talking more, it appears that every stall only uses salt as seasoning .

I guess it will be delicious just because it’s fresh, but having the same taste in every shop……

「Nevertheless, I had sold it because of the course of events, was that okay? Or……」

The stall owner is fidgeting for some reason . He’s hesitating to ask something . Un, a fidgeting old man is not cute at all .

This is that . The same attitude Road-san had when I made Cream bread .

「No problem . If you want to sell it, do as you please」

「Really!?」

It’s just pouring over some seasoning, it’s not that different from the original dish .

It’s just――

「However, please supply the seasoning by yourself」

「Of course!」

If he uses up the soy sauce, he has to secure more by himself . I had to make that point clear .

「Oh, right! Niichan, take this」

The stall owner held out a bucket which was laying aside at the stall . Inside were without a doubt, scallops .

Are? Wasn’t he sold out?

「These are slightly smaller than the ones I sell . The are smaller in size, but I can guarantee the taste」

The stall owner says he can’t sell them, but they are big enough to eat .

「Is that okay?」

「Sure . I think it’s little lacking as thanks, but please accept them」

「Thank you very much」

After I had received the scallops, the owner went looking for a store selling soy sauce, so we have separated . Leaving the stall as is……

「He left」

「「Left~」」

Maa, the stalls on both sides should be owned by his acquaintances, so it’s probably okay……

「Allen, Elena, you can still eat, right? What would you like to eat next~?」

「「Ntone~…… That~」」

I made them wait a while, but let’s continue the breakfast?
