Is That a Declaration of War Against Me?

“Paku, mogumogumogumogu, gokun. …paku, mogumogumogomu, gokun. …paku, mogumogumogomu, gokun.” (Arc/Iris)

Although each piece of sushi was not very big, the twins stuffed the whole piece into their small mouths and swallowed it after only a few chews. The sushi they ordered kept disappearing one after another, and only the plates piled up.

“Hmm, another round. The same as before. Without wasabi.” (Arc/Iris)

Apparently, the twins liked the sushi. They seemed to especially enjoy salmon, yellowtail, sea bream, and shrimp, ordering those repeatedly. Of course, without wasabi. Wasabi was a spicy condiment used on sushi, but it did not suit children’s taste buds. The twins, who unknowingly ate it at first, ended up with tears in their eyes.

“How many plates are those two eating…?” (Customer A)

“Are they really going to be able to pay for that much…?” (Customer B)

“They’re just kids, and they don’t seem to have much money…” (Customer C)

The customers inside the store started whispering, surprised by the twins’ eating speed, which was not like that of toddlers.

“I, I won’t lose either! Tuna! Bring me ten pieces of tuna!” (Meltera)

“No need to compete.” (Leon)

“Ugh~ I want to try sushi too~~!” (Silvia)

Meltera was fired up with competitive spirit, seeming to like tuna, while Silvia lamented that she could not eat at all. Then, a staff member approached with a worried expression.

“Excuse me, your bill has become quite large… Is there any problem with payment?” (Shop Staff)

“No, it’s fine. See.” (Leon)

Leon took out a bag containing hundreds of gold coins from his item box and showed it to the staff. Since he had received a large reward in the Holy Kingdom, his pockets were quite full.

“!?! Sorry for the trouble!” (Shop Staff)

The staff bowed their head and left.

“Hey, did you see how many gold coins that was…?” (Customer D)

“So, they’re children of nobles or big merchants…” (Customer E)

“For that matter, they’re wearing shabby clothes…” (Customer F)

Ignoring the customers whispering like that, the twins did not stop their momentum.

“Paku, mogumogumogumogu, gokun. …paku, mogumogumogomu, gokun. …paku, mogumogumogomu, gokun.” (Arc/Iris)

They kept eating without lowering their pace at all.

“I can’t eat anymore…” (Meltera)

Meltera reached her limit first. She pressed her bloated stomach and collapsed onto the seat.

“Ughf…” (Meltera)

“Satisfied.” (Arc/Iris)

By the time the twins finally stopped, the plates were piled so high that they almost hid their bodies. They must have eaten about one hundred pieces each. When they left the shop, the customers inside gave them applause in admiration.

“That was amazing!” (Customer G)

“You’ll be a big eater champion someday!” (Customer H)

“?” (Arc/Iris)

On the way back to the inn…

“Sniff sniff… such a nice smell.” (Arc/Iris)

“Again?” (Leon)

The twins stopped. Indeed, a spicy scent was drifting nearby.

“That smell, could it be…?” (Leon)

When they checked, as Leon expected, there was a curry shop.

“There’s even curry.” (Leon)

“Curry?” (Arc/Iris)

Curry was a dish unique to southern countries. Several spices were mixed together, then simmered with ingredients to make a soupy dish that was eaten by dipping bread or other foods into it. This was also a dish that did not exist a hundred years ago, even in a gourmet town like this. With sushi and curry, it seemed that peaceful times had increased exchange with faraway countries.

“Slurp.” (Arc/Iris)

Stimulated by the strong spice aroma, the twins’ mouths watered. Even though they had just eaten so much sushi, they still wanted to eat more. But that would definitely be overeating.

“No need to rush. We’ll be staying in this town for a while. We can come back and eat more later.” (Leon)

“Uu—” (Arc/Iris)

Leon grabbed the twins by their collars, who were sulking, and took them back to the inn.

“Gerogero gero” (Meltera)

…Meltera vomited on the way.

Since then, Leon and the others ate their way through Barbara’s town almost every day. From classic dishes like pizza, gratin, and hamburg steak to unusual foods like ramen, which is noodles dipped in soup with a unique color and texture, and takoyaki, which is octopus baked inside wheat flour dough balls. It was clearly far more diverse than the food available a hundred years ago. Among these, the twins especially liked ice cream, a cold treat made from milk.

“Pero pero pero” (Arc/Iris)

“Mm, it’s sweet and delicious! I feel like I could eat as much as I want!” (Meltera)

Meltera also liked sweets and was happily licking her ice cream. Ice cream featured various flavors such as chocolate and strawberry.

“I will try to eat every flavor!” (Meltera)

“Hey, stop that. You’ll vomit again.” (Leon)

Leon warned her, reminding her of the time she vomited on the roadside.

“Homunculi don’t really need to eat, right?” (Leon)

“That’s true, but I do have taste buds. It would have been fine without them, but in hindsight, it was the right choice to have them. If I couldn’t taste such delicious things, it would probably be hell.” (Meltera)

“Is that… a declaration of war against me!?” (Silvia)

“Eek!?” (Meltera)

Silvia, the only one who could not eat, looked like she was about to turn into an evil spirit.

“More importantly, we are running low on money… We need to start earning soon.” (Leon)
