The day of the unveiling arrived.
We were well prepared in advance. They even had help from Garum's house.
Cain was greeting the guests that came one after another.
I'm relieved to hear that His Majesty will be joining us a little late.
It seems that he was told that the other visitors would be confused if he came suddenly, so he took it into consideration.
It's not all the nobles that come with an invitation, some are congratulatory gifts and letters from the realm, others are on behalf of their representatives. In turn, the ushers would lead them to the hall.
Duke Eric had brought Miss Silk and his wife with him. Needless to say, they were surprised in the hall.
''I didn't expect you to surprise me from the first hall~. And this mansion wasn't this new, was it?
Duke Eric's sharp pinch on Cain.
'You'll be living in this house, general.
And there was a side of silk that was out of control. Duke Eric chuckled next to him.
All the guests who came were overwhelmed by the dragons in the first hall.
The moment they enter the hall, they are decorated with a stuffed SS-class demon. It shouldn't surprise you.
The first guest screams in the hall, and I try to explain it to them beforehand.
Then the visitor goes into the party hall and is overwhelmed again.
Many of the glasses in this world are made of metal, the citizens use cups made of wood.
All the glasses on the table are made of Venetian glass.
I know they can't be made in this world.
Even the plates have a beautiful pattern on them.
At first I thought about preparing Japanese glassware, but then I realized that this world is very close to the medieval European style, so I thought that European glasswork would be better.
I kept making glasses and plates with magic, and at the end I lost my magic power and passed out.
The dishes are being brought in sequence. This time the dishes were chosen from recipes from his previous life.
In the food of this world, it is still difficult to gather better ingredients than the higher nobility.
Then we decided to cut it off completely and make it a dish from another world.
Roast beef, hamburgers, french fries, fried food, and fried chicken are dishes that we don't have here.
And I made champagne for the drink. The basis of this world is wine. There is no such thing as a carbonated drink. However, there are some people who don't like carbonated drinks, so of course we have wine for them.
Of course we have non-alcoholic champagne for children. I am also the same. And I was only five years old.
Thanks to the World Dictionary, I managed to finish it.
Most of the people who sent out the invitation came. I'm thankful, though, that there were no people who didn't need to come.
Nearly a hundred people entered the hall, including the nobility and their families who accompanied them.
Then the show started.
Cain took the center stage.
I thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come here today for my youthfulness. I am Cain von Silford, who has been given the title of Baron and the mansion by His Majesty, and today I am able to unveil it successfully. We have prepared a modest amount of drinks and food for you to enjoy. I hope you enjoy your stay here today. So, cheers.
「「「「「「「「「「「 cheers」」」」」」」」」」」」
I have prepared a champagne toast.
What's this glass? It's made of glass, and what is this beautiful pattern? And what's with all these crispy drinks! I can't get enough of the sensation and the sweetness.
There are surprises here and there.
It was a success.
Even the nobles who have tasted the unusual dish are surprised. There was no such thing as a hamburger in this world.
They are delighted with the soft texture and the overflowing juices, chewing on the deliciousness of the meat.
The nobleman who attended the meeting has a good feeling.
''Cain! Teach me how to make this dish later!
Even Garum, who is helping me, is in this state. As for Rayne, she never leaves the kitchen.
"Father, I've given the recipe to the head chef, so you can make it at home,
I've never heard of this drink or the food. You'll have to give me that information next time.
As expected, it's not knowledge of a previous life, and it's appropriately gogamous.
'This is a great glass, Cain-kun. What do you think? Would you be willing to distribute a few to me as well?
Duke Eric.
'I will be giving everyone who comes today a pair of these glasses as a souvenir.
"Oh. Thanks for that! I'd like this drink if I could.
Well, I'll have them prepare a few bottles for you. The trick is to keep them cold, so they taste better.
Mm-hm. Thanks. Look at that one. Usually they say you have to catch a man by his stomach, but you've caught the silk better.
I smiled and pointed my finger at Silk, who was engrossed in his food with Rayne.
I was glad that Silk seemed to like it too.
As it was, as I was chatting with Duke Eric, Coran came over to me.
He whispers in my ear.
''Your Majesty and the Queen and Princess Telestia are here to see you.
Yeah. All right. I'll get ready for you.
And so I head to the podium.
'Sorry to interrupt this pleasant meeting. His Majesty has now arrived. I will now enter and ask for your kind permission to enter.
There was another surprise. The king had come all the way to a party the size of a baron.
This would not normally be possible.
Then the doors open and the royal family members enter.
All kneel down on the spot and take a bow.
They go up to the stage and stand next to Cain.
Sorry to be in the middle of a meeting, everyone. We are here to unveil the little hero who saved our Telestia. The star of the show is Baron Cain, don't worry about it, just enjoy it.
With that, His Majesty stepped down from the platform and went to the table for the meal.
The maid also placed the food on a plate and presented it to His Majesty.
Together with champagne and wine.
''Mmm. What's this glass? It's made of glass. And this pattern. Cain! What's up with this?
'Haha, I made the glasses and plates here. And I have been advising you on cooking as well.
Send some to the crown and I'll pay for it.
I see. I'll offer it to you when it's ready.
Hmm. But what is this dish anyway? This meat is soft, but it's full of juices. Was this dish also your master's idea?
'Yes, sir. I asked our head chef to help me make it. It's called "Hanbarg". If you're going to praise him, please name your head chef. If you'd like, I'll put together a recipe and present it to you later.
Thank God. Cain, I'm happy to be here today. Isn't that right, Teres?
'Yes, Father, Master Cain, thank you for inviting me here today.
'No, my pleasure. Thank you for coming to a place like this.
Also, Cain, I have a question. Did you slay the dragon in that hall?
His Majesty's face became serious for a moment.
'... yes .... That's right.''
Mm. I see. I'll see what you're made of. We'll have to talk again later.
"... It's all right, Your Majesty.
When he had left his Majesty, Corran came in.
'The Marquis of Corzino is here with his legitimate son, Lord Habit, to see you.
Here comes the trouble. I thought it wouldn't come again.
I had no choice but to head down the entrance hall.
As I headed out the entrance hall door, two people got out of the carriage as I headed in.
What a small building! The baron is very resourceful to be showing off his wares in a place like this doghouse.
'Father, yes, it's nothing compared to our house.
'Well, well, well, Marquis Corzino, Herr Habit, thank you for your time today. I hope you will make yourself at home in this small house. I will show you to the hall.
Cain pretends not to know and opens the entrance hall.
They didn't know anything about it, but the moment they entered the entrance, they saw the dragon in front of them.
"'Heeeeee. Do, do, dragon...
They both sat down together and tried to run away as it was.
''I'm sorry about this. This is a stuffed dragon. The Gracia territory is located next to the Demon Forest, so we are displaying the demons we hunted there.
Cain bows his head. His face is still a black smile, though.
Recovering, the Marquis of Corzino breathes.
'It's so undignified of you to leave such a thing without art. It's just that you're from the countryside.
He comes out quite strong.
'Yes, I don't know the art well yet, so I have nothing to display. Please guide me in the future.
Mm. I see. I'll give you a little guidance, won't I?
The Marquis of Corzino says, with a slightly unpleasant smile on his face.
''Everyone is already here, so I will show you to the hall.
Cain bows his head and leads the way.
'Hmm. The guest of honor should still be late.
Father, this is a party for barons. The number of guests is very small. Let's get going.
The guests of honor are the royal family, but I dare not speak of them.
The Duke of Eric and the Marquis of Magna are there, though.
Then he opens the hall and shows them inside.
He ushers the Marquis of Corzino and Habit out of sight of the royalists.
'It's a carbonated drink. Please be assured that the drink is alcohol-free for Lord Habit.
A baronet's worth of drink is not much, but cut it out.
The maid comes quickly, hands you a glass and pours you a glass of champagne.
With the glass, he is amazed at how gorgeous it is.
Then he takes a sip, and the Marquis of Corzino is even more amazed.
'This is amazing. 'This glass is as good as this one, and so is the drink.'
I think I meant to complain, but I guess I was just being honest.
The maid also takes the food and places it in front of me.
I take a bite and my eyes widen.
'What is this food? I've never eaten anything like it before!'
Enjoy your stay.
The father and son eat up all the food they have shared.
They have no table manners.
The baron and baronesses around them are also giving them a cold look.
The baron and the baron class around them also give a cold stare.
Baron Cain, give me this glass of wine and the recipe for the drink and food. And also the recipe for the drink and food.
That is indeed not possible. I'll be happy to give you a pair of these glasses if you come today.
Two is not enough. Give me a hundred. The Marquis will use it and you'll get a better share.
I'm sorry, but I can't agree to that, even for the Marquis.
What? Don't you listen to the Marquis? Baroness.
Oh, I was just saying that.
I'm already behind you.
Isn't that arrogant?
''Shut up, the lower noble barons should listen to the higher noble marquis!
I turn around and say.
'Hmm. Then I should tell my master.
The Marquis of Corzino turns pale.
Because the place where he turned around was His Majesty. Moreover, it is after I said "Shut up" to His Majesty.
''This, this is Your Majesty. I'm sorry. Why is Your Majesty coming to such a lowly baron?
I get down on one knee and greet him, holding my heavy belly.
'Why? He's the one who helped me get my daughter, Terestia, out of trouble. It's only natural for him to come. What's going on?
No, no. Yes, sir.
So, when you said, "Give me that glass," "Give me the recipe," and so on, I wonder if you are serious. If you're always behaving like that, you're not fit to be a nobleman in this country, and you need to think about your future.
The king asks with a straight face.
Corzino's face, which had been red from drinking, paled at once.
'No, sir. I was so impressed with the quality of the glass and the perfection of the drink and the food that I begged you to tell me.
Hmm. That's good, but don't drink too much.
With that, His Majesty went back to the table he had been at earlier.
The Marquis of Corzino stood up and looked around.
It's the viscounts and barons of the lower nobility around him, a cold stare pierces through.
''Kyu, Kyu, I have urgent business to attend to. Habit, we're leaving for the day. I'm sorry, Baron Cain, but I remembered that I had something urgent to do. I'll take my leave.
'If it's urgent, it's no use, I'm sorry I couldn't do much for you.
Cain bows his head carefully.
'Mm, I'll leave you to it. Let's go Habit.
"Wait, Father.
They left as if they were running away.
I breathed a sigh of relief that they were finally out of the way.
'Good night, I've been watching you.
It was Miss Silk who brought me the drink.
'You were deliberately agitating, so that Her Majesty and the others wouldn't be able to see you from over there, and when you were bowing your head, Cain-kun, your face was grinning with a black smile.
It was a sore spot. It was Cain, who I knew was watching, who was watching.
