There's also a citrus sauce. It'll neutralize the fat nicely and make it easier to eat.

　As we were chatting and eating our sashimi, Titus held out a small plate of sauce.

　When I looked inside, I saw that it contained an orange sauce.

''Well this sauce goes with it too, so you should try it.''

　Prompted by Luna-san, who is already tasting the sauce, me and sister Elinora pick up the sashimi.

　Then, after dipping it in the right amount of sauce, we bring it to our mouths.

　Then a sweet, refreshing taste like oranges spreads in our mouths. But it's not too stinky, and it's made mildly so, perhaps with olive oil or honey.

　When you stick your teeth into it, the rich flavor of the crowana seeps out and is layered with the citrus sauce.

'Delicious!'

　It's so good, me and sister Elinora look at each other and exclaim.

'It would go well with the sauce.

It's so refreshing. I'll just keep eating it.

　Even the richest flavors can get boring if you eat too much. But with the addition of this sauce, we see a new aspect of the deliciousness of the crowana.

'Right?　I like to eat several kinds of raw fish with this sauce.

''Well I hope it's the right amount, but I think Eric always puts too much sauce on it.

　He liked mayonnaise in King's Landing too, and Eric seems to be a seasoning enthusiast.

　He still sneaks in the sauce and eats the crowana. I guess you can only taste the sauce if you put it on that much anymore.

　The four of us crunched on it, and before we knew it, there was no more sashimi for the crowana.

　Perhaps anticipating this, Titus quickly held out a small plate to us.

I just unloaded another one, would you like one?

I'll take it.

　Not only Luna-san, but also me, Eric and Elinora sister eat it, of course.

　But when you're served such delicious sashimi, you want to have it.

　That's right, soy sauce.

　Of course, I didn't bring any soy sauce with me on this ship, but I can use spatial magic to get the seasoning out.

　I'm sure Elinora Sis and Eric won't be particularly suspicious since they know I'm carrying seasonings around with me.

　After deciding that, I activated a spatial magic inside my pants pocket. I opened a small space inside my pocket and took out a small jar of soy sauce.

''As a thank you for feeding me something delicious, I'm going to introduce you to some seasonings that might go with this.

Is it mayonnaise?

No.

　Please don't say that the seasoning I have = mayonnaise. Because unlike Eric, I'm not a mayor.

'Then what is it?'

"...a sauce that goes with raw fish. I'm curious.

　Not only Eric, but Luna as well, showed interest, and she asked with a glint in her eye.

It's the sauce you use to eat raw fish in Kagura. It's called soy sauce.

'Oh, I'm sure that would fit!

　Sister Elinora's tongue, which has wild senses, must have decided that soy sauce goes well with sashimi.

''Hey, if you've got something that good, serve it quickly!

Okay, okay, we'll get you out.

　As sister Elinora rushes me, I pull out a small jar from my pocket.

　Then I use my earth magic to generate small plates for a number of people and pour the soy sauce into them.

''This is a very black sauce, you know.

'It's fragrant, totally different from mayonnaise. So this is an exotic condiment....

　Titus and Eric are curious when they hear about the exotic seasoning that goes with sashimi.

　On the other hand, Luna-san, whose eyes were shining earlier, seems to be a bit stunned.

''It's.......strange.''

What?

What's the matter with you, sister?

　Me and Eric look back at Luna's words, which she suddenly blurted out.

　This is genuine soy sauce, but what's so funny about it? I mean, Luna-san didn't know anything about Kagura, so I don't think she could possibly complain about soy sauce.......

　As we stared at each other intently, Luna-san said a few words.

''........What about the chanting?''

　Ah, the other one.

"By the way, you weren't chanting when you were chased by Shelka in King's Landing. Hmm?　What do you mean?

Chanting smells like a lot of facepalms. I won't use it because I don't need it after I get used to it.

Huh?　Is that how it works?　No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

'Rude to think a simple thought!　I've been trying since I was a little kid to make it easy for you because it's a pain in the ass.

　I've been using magic since I was a baby, and I've been eating and sleeping my way through life. I'm proud to say that I've trained myself to the point of no chanting.

...but it's still weird.

　Luna-san raises her voice in doubt even though I explain myself.

　Attributes aside, I can't say anything about the unchanted, since I didn't get it from God.

　Perhaps annoyed by my ambiguous expression, Luna-san turns to her sister Erinora.

''Don't you think it's strange Elinora?''

I know I'm not very good at magic, but aren't all pure wizards at this level?

　It's as if it's nothing like this. Luna-san was astonished when she heard sister Elinora's reply.

''........There's no way a wizard of this level could be pompous.

'Forget it, next time we'll have crowana in soy sauce. I have a hunch, but I'm sure this will go quite well!

Yeah. If left unchecked, it would be less fresh.

That's not good!

　It's quite right, sister Elinora. It's fresh sashimi, but if it doesn't stay fresh, we can't expect anything else.

　Caught by our immediate appetite rather than conversation, we hastily pick up the sashimi and dip it in the soy sauce.

　Me and my sister Elinora got a little bit, but Eric was slathering it on.

　Dumbfounded by that, I put the sashimi in my mouth.

　The texture and taste of the croaker is the same as before. But the addition of the soy sauce seasoning mitigates the foul smell and fat, and the taste becomes tangy and tight.

　The richness of the char's flesh goes perfectly with the soy sauce. The aftertaste of the ingredients was particularly memorable.

'This is delicious!'

I knew it would fit!

　Eric and sister Elinora were surprised and then reached for the sashimi, as if seeking the next one.

　Then I saw Titus fidgeting somewhere at the edge of my vision.

　I'm curious about how the soy sauce and sashimi go together, but I'm not sure if they're being shy with us aristocrats and haven't touched it.

'Try the Titus, too. I'll be interested to see what the fishermen think of it.

'Are you sure?　Thank you!

　When I prompted him, Titus bowed his head with a smile. Then he happily dips the sashimi in soy sauce as he grabs it.

　Titus brings it to his mouth with gusto and closes his eyes as if he were examining the taste.

　Then he opens his eyes wide.

Oh, yummy!　This one's got more flavor!　I'd rather have these flavors than citrus sauce!

　Apparently it was so good that I couldn't help but say the bare words.

　When I chuckle at the reaction, Titus notices and ducks his head in embarrassment.

'Su, sorry. It was just too good.

We don't care, so you don't have to force yourself to use respectful language, okay?

Thank you, sir. However, I'm an important customer of the little guy and the young lady, so please let me stay like this. A guy like me, if I'm not careful, I'll get carried away easily.

Okay.

　If this was a villager from the village of Coriat, he would not hesitate to hush. But from Titus' point of view, we're nobles from another territory. You can't blame him for being reserved.

　On the other hand, I wonder how the villagers would react if we invited other nobles to Coriat Village.

　At the last harvest festival, Count Merna and Viscount Yulina came over, but at that time they were dressed as villagers.

　While I'd like to see the villagers when they're in line with the nobility, I'm also afraid of them. At the same time, I'm afraid of what they might say.

　As we were sipping our sashimi with soy sauce like that, I noticed that Luna was still standing behind me.
Ku.

　He's still curious about the conversation we had earlier.

'You're not going to eat Luna?'

...eat.

　Sister Elinora turned around and said, and Luna-san huffed and returned to our circle.

　Apparently, her appetite won out over her thoughts.

　Luna-san also ate the same way, dipping the crowana sashimi in soy sauce.

''........What is this?　It fits so well!

　Luna-san raised her voice even louder than usual and ate her second and then third piece of food.

'Hey, sister. Think about how you're going to distribute everyone.

I'm just catching up.

'I'm already reeling them back!　Yeah, you can't lose!

　Thanks to the delicious soy sauce, the sashimi was disappearing at a faster pace than before.

　Erinora and I both reach for the sashimi of the croaker.

Ugh, the fish is fresh from the sea!　I can't miss this........!

　As we were bustling around and eating sashimi from the crowana, a voice suddenly came up from behind us.

　When I turned around, I saw Meena standing there, shaking her body.

'Silly. Are you able to stand up already?'

'You forced the symptoms of seasickness to be screwed up by the driving force called appetite!

　Seeing Meena standing up, Eric and I shudder involuntarily.

　You say that she stood up when she had such a deathly expression on her face just now?

　This is the power of Meena, who came out of her territory to eat the fish of the sea....

　By the way, brother Silvio who was sitting next to me is still in pain, or maybe he doesn't stand up.

''........Fish........''

　Meena's face is still pale, and the movement of her legs to support her body is unremembered. Even so, Meena still has an appetite in her heart and moves forward step by step. To eat the delicious freshly caught black char.

'Meena, are you okay?'

Yes, it's all right-- whoop!

　Sister Elinora calls out to Meena as she wanders over, worried about her as she walks in. But Meena held her mouth in her hand and let out a disturbing word.

'Hey Meena!　Go away!

　Feeling an unfathomable sense of danger, sister Elinora lets out a scream and leaves.

　It's a harsh word that belies the kindness of her earlier. Isn't it okay to give her a few more words of concern?

　But when it breaks down right in front of your eyes, it can't be helped.

　Me, Eric, Luna and Titus are keeping their distance from Meena as best they can.

　Everyone is evacuating calmly and without surprise. These guys are pretty good at it.

'Meena, endure it!　It's a damsel in distress!

Hold on!

...swallow it.

　Sister Elinora, Eric, and Luna rally and shout in the hope that they will not throw up.

　However, no one tries to approach and care for them. They think that if they approach and provoke them, they will be killed.

'Oh, the willpower of a maiden. The last dignity of womanhood. That one thing ... is non-negotiable.

　If that was the case, why didn't you just stay quiet instead of walking around with the sashimi?

Shall we go back?

Yes.

　At this rate, we didn't know when tragedy would strike.

　Eventually we turned back to land.
