Claire rushed to the store
“Does it really taste good?”
“I don’t know… Mama?”
“Wou? Wou…wuff.”
“You have eaten it, Leo. You know…that springy stuff.”
“Wuff! Wou…”
“Mama says it doesn’t taste good at all!”
“It’s an acquired taste. I don’t hate it…”
Well, Leo preferred meat, like sausages. So it was no surprise. I never really went out of my way to eat it either.
Also, back then, I needed to eat meals that were high in calories, or I wouldn’t have been able to survive.“The place Ms. Delia talked about…is right over there. That stall should be selling it.”
Ms. Lyra guided us through the town after hearing of the place from Ms. Delia.
We had then come out into a large street where there were numerous stalls. But the one we were looking for was in a corner, and a little secluded.
As Ractos had a lot of traffic, there were a lot of merchants who came to sell their products. They were able to set up stalls here by paying the town a small fee.
And they were people who sold unusual things as well, and this also attracted more people.
“Uhh… Ah, yes, it is that store. It’s the old man from my village.”
“Then let us go, Mr. Takumi!”
“Uh, yes…”
“Lady Claire, please wait!”
“She is so fast…”
“Mama, let’s go too!”
“Wuff!”
After confirming that it was the correct place, Claire grabbed me by the hand and started to run.
…She really was looking forward to this…
Sebastian called after her, and the others did their best to catch up.
“Excuse me, this is konjac, isn’t it?”
“Uh, yes. Oh, are you interested in it? This one is special, because I made it. It is quite delicious, you know?”
“Oh, you have it in water. Yes, it’s just as I remembered… Can you eat it like this?”
“You can. I already cooked it once. But you should probably cook it again if you are going to use it in some dish.”
The old store owner was a little taken aback by Claire’s enthusiasm, but he was also confident in what he was selling.
In front of him, there was a large wine barrel filled with water. And inside the water were floating gray blocks.
“The tofu was more white, but this is more jiggly…”
“It is definitely tougher. You actually have to chew it.”
“Mister, you’ve eaten this before?”
“Mr. Kanat, this is Mr. Takumi. And this is Lady Claire.”
“Oh? If it isn’t Delia. What are you doing here? Oh, you did say something about coming here… But why aren’t you hiding your ears and tail?”
“Apparently, you don’t need to hide them here. But more importantly, please don’t be rude to these people!”
“Eh?”
“I’m sorry, Lady Claire. He doesn’t know who you are… Even if you rarely leave the village, you should know…”
“I don’t mind it at all. We have never met each other before, so it is little wonder that he does not know who I am.”
