121 Episode 104: Second Damage



"Guidance to deal with the 'spiritual judgment'?"

 Early in the morning, Assunt, who came to the restaurant in Yodamari-tei to sell vegetables, repeats my question.
 This is another man who has been very sensitive to the "judges of spirits." I asked him if he had any idea that he was doing the same thing.

"It's done as a matter of course if it's a guild of its own."
"Anywhere?"
"The more you are known, the more careful you are,"

 Frogs coming out of guild members seem to be a great disgrace, and many things seem to be hammered in as part of their education. ... is it like a company that teaches English conversation to its employees? Well, as far as I know, there's hardly any successful skill-building course that the organization has forced.

"'Education to keep competitors from beating' and 'Education to beat competitors' are thorough."
"That's a terrible story,"
"But the guild of our peddlers is rather modest."
"Tell me a lie. You're a frog."
"Oh, my gosh. That's not fair in the 42nd leg."

 Oh, I see.
 I haven't noticed him yet. I'm in a situation where I can be judged by the spirit.
 I guess Estella is sharper.

"Mr. Jasilo has already noticed that... there are many holes in the "Judgment of the Spirit," which blindly believes that Alvestan is perfect. So if we don't defend ourselves enough, we can cause unexpected damage."
`Oh, my God,'

 What's more, they've been irresponsible in scattering something that can't be avoided.

"Be careful of your mouth," If you were stabbed, it would be a disadvantage."
"Don't weigh people's lives by profit."
"Oh? I suppose you're of the same kind as Mr. Jiro?"

 It's a laughable joke!

"But it's a sad fact that I often have to suffer because of the Spirit."
"If I were right in front of you, I'd give you a flat butt."
"Huh... if you go past your quota, you'll be punished by Heaven."
"Well, I'll pat my butt,"
"...no punishment from heaven."

 shrug one's shoulders in relief
 He's an al-Vistan, isn't he? But he doesn't seem as devout as Jeanette.

"When I talk to Mr. Yashiro, I am constantly made to discover new things. What do you mean by "butt-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen-pen
"It has nothing to do with God, man, or spirit to be punished if you do something stupid."
"No, no. I thought it was more interesting to see the Spirit as if it existed just like us."

 When asked if they believe in God, it is hard to say "yes" honestly, but if they continue to show their power so clearly, their perception will change to "Oh, I don't think so."

"Do you think there is no Spiritual God?"
"That's not the case," The spirit exists. I'm sure. Just...

 Take a large, well-shaped tomato out of the basket and play with it on your hands.

"I don't think it's a match to touch like this. The Spirit is the pumpkin soup he ate when he was young."
"Pumpkin soup?"

 What is he talking about?

"I'm sorry," It was hard to understand the analogy."

 Smiling, Assund begins explaining with gestures.

"Pumpkin soup was my favorite food and when I was young I thought it was the best thing in the world. However, because we were poor, we could only eat it once a year."

 Was Assund poor when he was a child?
 That's why you've become obsessed with it, isn't it? In any case, now that he can earn well, his life will be in the category of success.

"Close your eyes and you'll remember. That color, that scent, that taste, and that warmth..."

 The eyelid-closed assent wanders into the empty air, perhaps trying to touch the soup floating in the brain.

"""I can recognize its existence and clearly imagine its shape.""" But touching is no match. But I can say with confidence that I like pumpkin soup even if it's not in this place. That's what spirits are to people.'
"It's an incomprehensible analogy,"

 Assault giggles again.

 Well, that's what idolatry is all about.
to embody and worship what is said to be there in one's mind and mind However, because it is stored in an individual's head, there are times when each person customizes it on their own.
 at one's own convenience

"It was treated as if it were a human being."Hmm, do the gods of Jiro's country live in the same world mixed with humans?"
"That's not the case,"

 What... is this being made a fool of? I don't think I'm being complimented... I don't think so.
 I've never thought so deeply about it, but...

`But if the spirit god was such a huge breast, wouldn't he rub it said.
"... no, it's a great thing to do,"
"What if it's explosive milk?"
"It's not about rank".

 What's wrong with him? Are you a smoothie?

"And I have a wife,"
"What!"

 I almost threw a 'spiritual referee' at him.
 My wife!? Oh, shredded radishes? The bed of Assund's house was covered with shredded radishes and I thought of a scene like, "It's mine." No, no, "It's me and the bear," right? Then...

"Assent -- menacing is a grave sin."
"Well... I'm sorry to say this, but... my wife approached me passionately."
`"Spirit's..."
"Wait a minute! I don't mind if you do it, but I don't think Mr. Jiro should take the initiative in breaking the agreement.

 Isn't it Coco who cuts the trump card in case of emergency? It's now, isn't it's me!"Or is it okay for Alvistan to marry?"
"Most of the people in this city are al-Vistans, don't you think they're going to die if you forbid them to get married?"

 Oh, is that so?

"It's probably only church officials who care about it. We, the common people, appreciate the spirit every day.'
"Then, don't you have to worry about Jeanette?"
"Well, people who grew up in church tend to think a little like that, but... there's no problem. Sister Bertina should not be blamed by anyone."

 You can marry Bertina, too. It's pretty loose, isn't it?

"What? Has there been progress enough to start thinking about it?"
"Oh! Stupid! Come on, nothing!"
"Well... but it's only a matter of time." I'm sorry."
"...hmm,"

 Tell me.
 …………………I'm not conscious at all! Ignore it! Ignore it. Ignore it!

"Mr. Jiro,"
"Whoa!"
"What!? ... What's the matter?"

 Jeanette shows up while talking to Assund.
 This guy was checking the ingredients in the kitchen until a little while ago... he should have carried them more slowly... yes, ass. Don't grin!

"You've checked very carefully to-day," Did Assund try to be clever again?"
"Oh, no. That's not the case."
"Mr. Jiro, that's terrible. I'm sorry."

 Hey, you've got a lot of course. What an abominable pig!

"Mr. Assund told me to check the quality of the ingredients carefully."
"Quality? Ascent, is there a problem?"
"Oh, no... actually,"

 Assund's expression clouded over.
 Something seems to have happened.

"The day before yesterday... Do you know the sweetener on the main street?"
"Sweet place?"

 I tilt my head.
 Jeanette began to explain the store.

"Mr. Ryo used to be a teahouse, but after Mr. Yashiro taught me how to make cakes, it was changed to a sweetening place."
"What a transformation!"
"I heard they tried to serve the cake with tea."
"Oh, you mean a coffee shop?"

 It seems that it was a place where you could have a drink of tea.
 That's where I started serving cakes... ...it's a coffee shop, isn't it?

"With that '檸檬'... I think there was food poisoning."
"What!"

 I didn't hear it!?
 If food poisoning occurs in a restaurant, contact the guild member immediately!
 It's a matter that the whole town needs to take measures!

"No, that's... ...it stinks."
"...is it another bug-like affair?"

 Assund's expression becomes murky and disturbing.
 a case of the incest of Cantaltica He fought off with a great deal of countermeasures. The food poisoning scandal that happened shortly after that.........

"What is the situation?"
"According to the master of the book, a strict man suddenly came and said, 'I felt sick right after I ate something from this restaurant. Is everything in this store rotten?" and they made a big fuss."
"... together, isn't it?
"What is it with you...?"

 Assault and Jeanette all tilt their heads together.

 The stern man -- call him the squid man -- says he's "feeling sick." It's not 'I'm sick' or 'I'm sick' but 'I'm sick'.
"Why is the cake so delicious here, my dear!" … Still, I'm feeling sick. That's just the size of a spoon.
 So, a series of words were uttered: 'Is everything in this store rotten?' It's the same way that insects make people imagine a third word, which has another meaning by juxtaposing the two words.
 That is to say, he insists on saying, "I've eaten something from this restaurant and I'm sick."
 Humans have a habit of drawing solutions from given information and compensating for their deficiencies.

"Yasilo, you're a nice person."
"I don't have a boyfriend right now."
 If you say this, you think you mean, "Jiro, go out with me!" But this isn't the case! If you're going to make a false confession, you're going to be dragged down like, "Oh... I didn't mean to say that way. Don't pull it! Don't pull it!

 ... well, I mean, that's it.
 It's dangerous to take it for granted.

"But we can't leave it alone,"

 Assundt shows a sour look.

"I'm sorry, but I'm explaining the situation to the producers and checking the quality. Mr. Mormat and others have shown some understanding and cooperation, but some of them are offended."

 When food poisoning occurs, there are some doubts.

 First of all, it's a shop. Have you had any problems with the condition of preservation, the kitchen, or the way it's cooked?
 And distributors. I'm asking you if you're sending cool mail at room temperature... in this world, if the peddler's guild is letting you touch something bad in transit -- like magic saliva.
 Go further and you'll get to the producer. It reaches to the point where you are not infected with any bad diseases at the stage of cooking, or whether the ingredients contain harmful substances.

 If all of them go without a problem... well, that's what it is.
 Well, I doubt it first.

 In other words,"Well, are you really sick?"


 However, it is the customer business that can't say it face to face. It's all the more difficult when it comes to serving customers.
 Even if it's ridiculous, we have no choice but to conduct an investigation.

"Can't you do anything about it?"At this rate, dissonance will arise again between the peddler's guild and the producer..."

 Ascent glances at me. Don't look at me like that.
 ...and Jeanette. Can you stop looking at me with sparkling eyes next to Ascent?

 . . . . . . . . . . . . もう Come on.

"And? Was there any actual damage?"
"Yasilo!"

 Don't speak in unison.
 And don't look happy.

"There is no harm done, is there?" I wasn't asked for money, or my shop was destroyed. If I had to say so, my reputation had gone down. . . ."
"You can say that reputation is the order of the shop." I don't think you could stand it if you targeted it."
"Certainly. I'm a merchant, too. I understand how you feel."

 It'same again.
 yet another act of harassment If you look at the fact that it is not for the purpose of money, it is a personal grudge...
 I wonder if they have anything to do with the insects...

"Yasilo, are you there?"

 Estella came to the early‐morning Yodamari-tei.
 The alarm bell had just rung about half an hour ago. It's unusual for Estella to come at such a time.
 If it's not the wrong time...

"Did you wake up hungry, you glutton?"
"Will you stop labeling me weird?"

 When Assunt and I come to the table facing each other, they hold out a piece of parchment in front of me.

"The food and drink guild is in a hurry. Some customers complained that food poisoning occurred at the sweetener's place, 』."
"You're late!"
"What! What!? I ran first thing in the morning, cleverly!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Estella," I've just told you know.
"Why, now!"
"Sit down, Mr. Estella," I'll bring you some tea now."
"Oh, I'm sorry, Jeanette,"

 Jeanette heads to the kitchen and Estella sits next to me.
 In the meantime, I look over the parchment.

 The customer who filed the complaint is an Iguana who is about 190 centimeters tall. ... He's like a lizard.
 According to the complaint, he felt sick right after eating the cake served at the sweetener, 』.
 There was no demand for reparations from the Iguana people, and the only thing they wanted was the closure of the sweet spot, 檸檬.
 "The owner of the sweetener, ""檸檬,"" says that there is no problem with the ingredients and the production process, and that there should be no fault with this restaurant, but he is not absolutely confident, so he has decided to close the restaurant for the time being."

 I see. We'll wait and see until we see a clue to a solution.
 It's true that I couldn't stand the constant noise from the store.

"But why is it ' 』'
"Oh, that's,"

 Jeanette explained to me, putting tea in front of Estella.

"I heard that Master met his wife under a big lemon tree. --what a lovely place to have memories of their love!"
"Oh, no... not really,"

 The explanation is not what I wanted.

"I know that Cantaltica can be noticed. It's the most prominent bar on the main street."

 It can be said that it is the destiny of popular shops to be bitten.
 ...so I think we'll have a hard time in the future if we don't do something about their tofu mentality.

"But it's a '檸檬'?" I don't even know where it is.
"By the square,"
"It's on the left-hand side of the square,"
"It's close to the market, so I often use it for a break in the middle of peddling."

 ...that. Is it a famous restaurant by any chance?

"But it's certainly strange," The sales aren't that big, either. It wasn't until they started serving cakes that they started to attract attention."
"Are you paying attention?"

 I felt a little uneasy about the information from Estella.  
 I didn't doubt Estella's story, but I had a hunch that the key to the answer I was looking for was hidden by that information.

"You're paying attention," "In the movie, I think we developed lemon pie by improving apple pie, and it's a big hit."
"I see. Lemon pie tastes good."
"Do you know that? That's great."

 Well, well... there's a lot more, pie. cherry, blueberry, apricot
 Lemon pie has a unique flavor that you can't taste anywhere else, though it's pretty good for you. A refreshing lemon cream is good when you're tired, isn't it?

"What does it taste like... I want to try it someday."
"Well, shall we go?"
"Really?"
"Take Estella with you, and say, 'It's an investigation,' and let me eat for free."
"...what a thought, Jillo,"

 Noisy
 It's part of helping others, isn't it? Wouldn't it be good enough to take part in the spill?

"Since 飲食 succeeded in developing the original cake, restaurants in the neighborhood are working hard to develop the original cake."
"You've moved in the right direction, haven't you? The same cake as the rest won't bring any guests here."In that respect, Yangdamari-tei has the strongest signboard, "Ganso." That's a relief.
 Besides, I still have some hidden things to do.
 Tarts, tiramis, bavallois, etc.

"There are a lot of shops on the main street that are secretly thinking, 'Down with me!'"
"Do the guests know that?"
"I don't think the customers know about it. I don't think other restaurants can say, 'Down with me!'"
"But there seems to be a rumor among the cake-savvy." I sometimes hear rumors from customers who come to Yodamari-tei."

 Whoever knows, knows…?

"It's only natural that you don't know Jiro said.
"Why?"

 Estella says with a soft smile.

"Everybody in the Forty-two wards is crazy about cake now." If it's cake information, I'd like to buy anything."
"Is that so?"

 Ask Assund, who seems familiar with the city, what Estella says.

"Well, sir. There seems to be some lively movement, especially among young women. Like this... we make small groups eating cakes and exchanging information... and so on.

 Is there a cake circle?
 Since we don't have a guidebook, we have no choice but to gain information on our own. There is no SNS in this world.

"The fever that had been buoyed by the advent of new things has finally calmed down and will be explored from now on. Customers demand more and stores offer higher levels of products. When you mature, you'll be able to call it "culture."

 Estella's eyes sparkle at the prospect of the future.

 Something new... ...cake...?

"Another help, Estella?"
"What are you going to do this time?"
"This time......well......lizard fishing, I suppose."


 If I'm right, I'm sure I'll be able to raise the bar.
