The adventurers around me were drinking and making a lot of noise.
Meanwhile, four steaks on plates are brought to one table.
Nimi, Felica, and Erika were sitting at the table.
I put a steak in front of each of them and then sit down.
By the way, Nimi is with us because it's break time.
I gestured with my hand to say it was okay for us to eat, and they all started eating.
Felica takes a bite and drinks the wine looking happy, while Erika closes her eyes and looks happy as she stuffs her face.
Nimi also enjoys the food, holding one hand to her cheek as she stuffs it into her mouth.
Nimi aside, I thought the two of them were eating better food...
I gave the portions for Elicia and the maids to the maids and had them carry it back.
I also didn't forget to give the most tender steak to the maid just in case it was for Elicia.
Watching the three of them eat happily in silence, I put a steak in my mouth as well.
...Yup, it's soft again this time.
Once everyone had finished eating, Erika happily shared her thoughts.
"I had some just now... what is this soft, fruity flavor?"
"And it's Silver Wolf meat?...It's like magic."
Felica wiped her mouth as if taking advantage of Erika's words and said with a satisfied look on her face.
Yes, this meat is Silver Wolf meat.
That's not to say that it's inedible; in fact, it's a delicacy during an adventure.
But would I go back to town to eat there? I would say no.
The reason is that it is hard and has an animal smell, and if you want to get rid of this, it will take a lot of time to prepare.
Even if you spend a lot of time preparing and cooking it, the toughness and gamey smell don't really go away.
If it's soft enough to bite through easily with your teeth and tastes fruity rather than gamey, you might be suspicious.
At first, I offered it to adventurers to eat, but they didn't like it.
I gained a reputation for forcing people to eat it.
However, the adventurers at Suzuya seemed to want to monopolize it, so they hid the fact that the steaks here were delicious.
Also, although it's not a drawback, if there is a problem it would be that I spend a lot of time in the kitchen and I use a lot of alcohol.
The amount of sake is about two large barrels...wow, that's a lot.
However, sales are solid enough to justify the amount of food prepared.
This time, the steak is free as a token of appreciation, but adventurers drink alcohol, so... well, it breaks even.
I had run out of drink so I was about to stand up to get one when someone handed me a drink from next to me and I reflexively took it.
Thinking it was someone helping out, I turned to the side and saw a maid standing there.
I was so surprised that I stopped moving for a moment, then smiled and thanked her.
...Let's hope she's not cramping.
The maid, Meline, bowed silently and began to speak.
"The steak, Lady Elicia, seemed to enjoy it very much."
"That's good."
"I have to ask, are you using white truffle?"
"...I'm surprised, you understand."
"also"
"A white truffle?"
Erika stood up with a surprised look on her face and put both hands on the table.
That's because truffle are commonly circulated, but white ones are rare.
Truffle looks like a walnut, and the white coloring on it makes it just creepy.
Just for fun, I put a white truffel in a barrel of meat, and this is what happened.
Seeing Erika's eagerness to hear the answer made me smile wryly.
"We won't be able to harvest enough to distribute it though."
"So you do have a place of production after all?"
"This comes from...that mountain."
"...eh?"
"Felica, do you know what Silver Wolf's staple food is?"
"Aren't they an omnivore?"
Felica crossed her arms and tilted her head as she answered.
You're not wrong, Silver Wolves basically eat anything.
But it's a living thing, and it has a favorite food: white truffle.
I discovered this when I went into the mountains with adventurers several times.
White truffle grow in areas where Silver Wolves gather in groups or spawn in large numbers.
When I explained this to Erika and Felica, their eyes lit up.
"If you're so curious, do you want to go and see it?"
"Is that okay?"
"May I please?"
"I don't mind... just be prepared to fight. I think Felica will be fine, but Erika... are you sure?"
"I know that."
Erika crossed her arms and puffed out her cheeks.
...Isn't it cute?
As I was about to stand up after finishing my talk, Meline spoke quietly from beside me.
"I will accompany you."
"""Eh?"""
That was all Meline-san said to us, then she bowed and left the bar.
After being stunned for a while, Erika muttered something as if she had just remembered.
"...Ah, it's Meline's favorite food."
"Well, I'd love to go."
"Can't you just miss it?"
Seeing Erika angrily with her hands on her hips, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
By the way, Nimi seemed to be having fun talking about clothes and food with a nearby female adventurer.
I'm waiting for Felica outside.
I was supposed to spend the night with Felica, but she asked me to wait outside, so I did.
Looking at the building in front of me, Erica was led inside by a maid.
...Seeing how happy Erika looked, I have no regrets about lending it to her.
"Well, sorry to keep you waiting."
"No, wait..."
I tried to say no, but I couldn't think of anything to say.
Because Felica was wearing a blue dress.
It reaches below the knee and has a different allure to regular tight skirts.
Even with her underwear on, the shape of her large breasts is clearly visible.
While I was at a loss for words, Felica fidgeted with her hands on her stomach and turned her face away in embarrassment as she spoke.
"I bought it the other day. Is it weird?"
The way she glances at me is adorable, so I approach Felica, put my arms around her waist, pull her close and kiss her.
I smile at Felica, who is blushing all the way to her ears, and give my opinion.
"It's cute, it suits you. Come on, let's go."
"...Yeah"
We hold hands and start walking.
Felica is so cute as she shyly intertwines her fingers with mine.
We head to the inn we went to last time.
Apparently Felica's mansion is embarrassing because there are maids there.
I resist the urge to squeeze her breasts as they sway with every step.
It's unfair that she looks so seductive yet has such cute reactions.
I'm not sure if I can control myself...
...I feel like I've been releasing it more frequently lately.
