You Can Eat As Much As You Like

(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)

After running the earth ship for about three days, Leon and his group finally arrived at Barbara. It was a large city that rivaled the royal capitals of various countries in size, and the population was also large.

Since it was a trading city with very active movement of people, the castle gates were open day and night, and it was possible to pass through without permission at any time. They probably did not have the luxury to check everyone. The children, including Leon, were not stopped or questioned and were able to enter the city smoothly.

“Hmm, as expected of Barbara. It’s quite lively.” (Leon)

“Indeed.” (Meltera)

Not only Leon, but also Meltera and Silvia were visiting the city for the first time in a hundred years. They looked around nostalgically, glancing here and there. True to its name as a gourmet town, the main street of Barbara was lined with eateries. Some shops even prepared products for people to eat while walking, right in front of their stores.

“Hmm…” (Arc/Iris)

Suddenly, Arc and Iris, as if drawn by some force, started walking unsteadily toward a certain shop. A middle-aged woman appeared to be frying something at the shop entrance. A savory aroma floated around, which probably attracted the twins.

“Slurp.” (Arc/Iris)

“It’s two copper coins per piece.” (Shop Owner)

The woman, noticing the twins who looked about to drool, warned them with the price. Even though they were young children, she intended to do proper business, which was typical of Barbara. Leon called out.

“Oba-chan, what kind of dish is this?” (Leon)

“This is korokke. It’s boiled and mashed potatoes shaped into balls and then fried.” (Shop Owner)

“Oh.” (Leon)

The size was probably about the size of Leon’s fist. It seemed they covered it with breadcrumbs to make it crispy. Leon did not know this dish. He was unsure if it was just unfamiliar to him or if it did not exist a hundred years ago.

“Then, three, please.” (Leon)

“Three?” (Shop Owner)

“Huh? You’re eating some too?” (Meltera)

“Of course!” (Leon)

“I want some too!” (Sylvia)

“As for Meltera, maybe, but you probably can’t.” (Leon)

Silvia, being a ghost, could not eat in the first place.

“Ugh, I should have come along after I was revived!” (Silvia)

In the end, they decided to buy four pieces.

“Thank you very much.” (Shop Owner)

With the cheerful voice of the shop owner behind them, they bit into the korokke right away. The initial crunchiness was crisp. But inside, it was soft and fluffy, and the contrast was interesting.

“This is delicious.” (Leon)

Not only potatoes but also minced meat and vegetables seemed to be used, adding a nice accent.

“…It’s gone.” (Arc/Iris)

The twins finished eating in no time and were crushed by the truth of this world.

“That’s obvious, what you eat disappears.” (Leon)

“Hehe, too bad. I still have this much left, you know?” (Meltera)

Since Meltera was savoring it slowly, more than half of her korokke was still left, which the twins looked at longingly.

“Even if you look at me like that, I won’t give it to you!” (Meltera)

Thinking they might take it, Meltera hid her korokke.

Carrying the twins, who were repeatedly tempted by food along the way, Leon searched for an inn. It was already evening. They wanted to secure a place to stay early.

“Welcome.” (Innkeeper)

“Oba-chan, do you have two rooms available?” (Leon)

“Are you kids alone? As long as you have money, I don’t mind.” (Innkeeper)

“We’ll pay in advance.” (Leon)

“Then, no problem.” (Innkeeper)

They paid the money and received the keys to the rooms.

“Why do I have to stay in a separate room…?” (Meltera)

“No, you’re not alone.” (Leon)

To Meltera, who was grumbling, Leon pointed out that Silvia was with her.

“I can’t sleep with a ghost!” (Meltera)

“That’s cruel! Even though I’m dead, treat me as a proper companion!” (Silvia)

This inn apparently only offered lodging without meals. In fact, most inns in this city were no-meal lodgings. Since there were many good restaurants, most customers preferred to eat out. For that reason, after securing the inn, Leon and the others left again to eat outside.

“Slurp…” (Arc/Iris)

“Dinner will be soon, so hold on.” (Leon)

He told the twins, who kept being drawn toward food along the way, to wait patiently as they walked around looking for a good restaurant.

“This is…” (Leon)

Then, they stopped in front of a certain shop.

“Sushi too?” (Leon)

“Sushi?” (Arc/Iris)

“It’s a dish from a small island nation in the east. It’s surprising to see such a shop here… as expected from a gourmet town.” (Leon)

As a hero who traveled the world, Leon remembered that sushi was a local dish unique to that island country. It combined rice, called ‘kome,’ with seafood, and he was amazed by its deliciousness. Arc and Iris liked fish, so they would probably enjoy it.

“Hey, welcome!” (Shop Staff)

“!!” (Arc/Iris)

Inside, they were greeted loudly. The twins jumped and hid behind Leon. The restaurant was almost full. It seemed very popular. They sat at a table and checked the menu.

“There are rare types of sushi too.” (Leon)

Sushi was usually made with seafood as the topping. However, here they offered sushi with meat, mushrooms, and even cheese. Such unique adaptations were also a feature of this gourmet town.

“But the prices are quite high.” (Leon)

Freshness was key for the seafood used in sushi. Since Barbara was an inland city, transporting fresh seafood from the sea would require considerable shipping costs, making it a luxury item. Looking closely, the customers were all well-dressed.

“Well, since we have plenty of money, eat as much as you like.” (Leon)

“Yeah!” (Arc/Iris)
