Eliza's presentation ended in great success.
Well, even though the king of her home country caused some trouble, it still turned out well overall. Afterward, we went around and watched the presentations in each venue, and the second day of the cultural festival ended.
That night, we were to have a dinner party with Eliza, who had finished her presentation. Even though it’s called a dinner party, the place was the dormitory cafeteria.
When I told Glenora that Eliza's presentation had gone well, she said she would prepare a special meal.
"Alright, here’s everything."
Saying that, Glenora placed about ten dishes on the table. There were grilled dishes, fried dishes, simmered dishes, sandwiches, and even dessert. Furthermore, warm soup and fruit wine were also lined up.
"Wow...!"
"This is amazing. It's so extravagant."
Looking at the food placed before us, I and Eliza exclaimed in admiration. Glenora’s cooking was delicious to begin with. If that Glenora was saying it was special, it was difficult not to have high expectations.
The fragrant aroma tickled our noses, and we naturally swallowed our saliva.
"Let's eat.”
While I put my hands together for the meal greeting, Eliza had already taken food to her mouth. It seemed the first thing she reached for was the grilled chicken dish.
The moment she put it in her mouth, Eliza’s eyes lit up as she looked towards the heavens.
"...So happy."
Hearing that comment, both Glenora and I smiled slightly.
Just as I was about to eat as well, Glenora called out to Eliza.
"Even so, to hear the words that the presentation went well from Eliza’s mouth, huh. You, who always have a tearful, gloomy meal, have changed quite a bit."
When Glenora said that with a laugh, Eliza puffed out her cheeks as if she were embarrassed.
"Please don’t say that. But, it really was a huge success! And, His Majesty King Grandsands has promised to allocate a budget for magic! This is the biggest incident in the history of the dwarf nation! The dwarf nation has only focused on smithing. They only think the purpose of magic is to give some effect to weapons and armor. But, because of this incident..."
"O-okay, okay! I understand, I understand! Just eat quickly and go to bed tonight."
Glenora gave up first to Eliza, who was excitedly talking quickly. Shrugging her shoulders as if she was taken aback, she told Eliza to eat and then looked at me.
"Ah, were you dutifully waiting? Aoi, you should eat too."
"Ah, yes. Well then, let's eat.”
I replied and began to eat. First, I took a sip of the soup that I was curious about. Immediately, the scent of spices and a gentle sweetness spread in my mouth. It had a flavor similar to consommé soup, but it was very profound. The softly stewed vegetables also had a nice texture.
Next, I took a bite of what seemed to be fried pork. When I put the knife in, the blade sank in with a light sound. The meat was tender, and I could easily cut it. I took a bite-sized piece with my fork.
My teeth cut through the freshly fried batter and tender meat, and the delicious flavors of meat and fat blended together in my mouth. It had a sweet and spicy seasoning, but the slight spiciness was also an accent. Also, perhaps something had been sprinkled on the meat, as I could feel a crunchy texture with each bite. The flavor wasn’t particularly strong, but the seasoning that enhanced the meat's umami created a deliciousness that didn't get boring.
"...It's really delicious. If Glenora-san started a restaurant, it would be a huge success, wouldn’t it?"
I honestly voiced my thoughts. Then, Glenora laughed as she patted my back.
"That's a very welcome compliment. Should I add some sake?"
"N-no, I’m fine."
I was caught off guard and patted on the back, so I couldn’t breathe for a moment. Even if Glenora, who is large, only meant it lightly, her strength is considerable. Perhaps she might even be stronger than Felter in a fight.
Thinking such thoughts, I enjoyed the dinner with Eliza.
Well, tomorrow is the final day of the cultural festival. Especially, the final presentation is very important for me as well. I must prepare well.
