Anime: The Days I Opened a Restaurant in Fantasy Town

Erina, with a ruddy face and a keen interest, analyzed:

“I could taste the freshly baked vanilla cream, which blended perfectly with the rose jam. The maker must have practiced for a long time to finally decide on the perfect ratio, thus achieving a delicate balance of sweet and sour.”

Erina turned to look at the snack she had taken a bite of.

“And here… the special aroma of the chocolate on top must be from the cocoa beans in South America.”

South America is one of the origins of the cocoa tree and has extremely high genetic diversity.

This also means that there are more types of cocoa beans to choose from, each with its own unique flavor characteristics and quality attributes, making it the first choice for many pastry makers.

"A little cinnamon was added later to enhance the richness of the taste. As for other aspects...it seems that some unusual fruit essences were also used, but I can't tell which one it is..."

"Oh? Even the 'God's Tongue' doesn't know its specific ingredients?"

"That's true... Miss Kobayashi, where did you buy it?"

Giving up the work in her hands, Erina Nakiri moved and came to Kobayashi Ryodou.

Looking at Erina's curious face, Kobayashi Ryodan didn't know how to answer.

I can't tell the girl in front of me that I traveled to a world called "Gensokyo" and was treated by a restaurant owner, right?

Do not……

To be honest, there seems to be no problem.

"I can tell you later, but you have to keep it a secret."

"of course."

When Erina heard Kobayashi Ryodo's reminder, she agreed without thinking, and her expression looked extremely determined.

Well……

Kobayashi Ryodan pushed Erina away and told her to calm down while explaining:

"I bought it in a very special place called 'Fantasy Township'."

"Please don't joke, Senior Kobayashi..."

"I'm not kidding. Mr. Zhou Guang's restaurant is located in a forest. Occasionally, some strange customers come to visit. But that's not the point. Mr. Zhou Guang's cooking skills are excellent in my opinion. These snacks are made by him."

"Zhou Guang... I've never heard of this name."

"Of course, that's 'Fantasy Township', ordinary people can't go there."

As soon as these words came out, Erina hurriedly asked

"So how are you going to take me there, Xiaolin-senpai?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? We'll talk about the details later. Before that, I need your help."

"Please say."

"I'm late, I guess I'll be kept for a lecture."

"It's easy to solve."

Erina returned to her previous position and pulled out a document.

She explained confidently

"Today, please ask Senior Xiaolin to accompany me to go shopping. We will just stop by Mr. Zhou Guang's restaurant on the way."

In order to find out the truth, Erina Nakiri decided to take direct action!

Chapter 8: Kamishizawa Keiin and the 'King' of Gensokyo, Shu Hikaru? (Please give me flowers! Collect!)

After seeing off Kobayashi Ryodan, Zhou Guang was the only one left in the restaurant.

Now that he had some free time, Zhou Guang began to think about who to choose as the guest for the 'solo dinner' on the last day of the week.

Once the candidate is confirmed, Zhou Guang will invite the other party to discuss where to go, the ingredients to be used, and the dishes to be made that night.

That’s right, dining doesn’t necessarily have to be done in a restaurant.

Apart from that, the most important thing is the intimate time to build closer relationships with the guests.

Bang!

Zhou Guang, who was thinking about whether to invite a certain monster girl, heard a voice coming from the second floor.

"Speaking of which..."

Shuguang remembered that Ibuki Suika and Hakurei Reimu had made a fuss upstairs before, and he hadn't gone to see what was going on.

Taking off the solid-colored apron he used for cooking for the moment, Zhou Guang came to the corridor and walked up the wooden stairs to the second floor.

Along the way, you can see traces of time, proving that the restaurant is not a new building.

However, its materials are solid, and even if it is affected by conflicts between monsters, it will generally not be damaged.

Having said that, if some troublesome monsters run near the restaurant, Zhou Guang will often teach them a lesson.

With this incident, Reimu Hōmeimaru wrote a new news item the next day.

[Bunbun Daily: Breaking news! Following the 'Flower Field Monster', the 'Restaurant Monster' appeared! According to reliable information, three monsters were beaten near that restaurant! ! ]

In response to this comment, Shuguang put Reimu Marufumi on the blacklist for three days.

On the fourth day, Wen brought the wine brewed by the Tengu to find Zhou Guang and admitted his mistake.

However, Zhou Guang knew very well that the "big reporter" of Gensokyo would never stop joining in the fun and reporting news.

After ending his memories, Zhou Guang came to the bedroom on the second floor and saw the bedding in a mess.

Obviously, Ibuki Suika, who had previously run to the second floor to hide, chose the bed as her base, and was then captured by Reimu.

After a simple tidying up, Zhou Guang's eyes fell on the balcony.

There is also a forest behind the restaurant.

The trees are dense and green.

From the backyard, it is about ten minutes away from the 'human village'.

Perhaps because the environment is so good, goblins occasionally play in the woods.

[What to do at night? What to eat at night? ]

The parrot's voice came.

Zhou Guang turned around and saw that the parrot on the shelf was probably hungry.

However, Zhou Guang didn't care about this.

"You can eat whatever you want."

【Really? 】

"Yes."

[Cirno!? Cirno!]

"Even if she gets into mischief in the backyard, don't eat her..."

After giving the instructions, Zhou Guang heard the doorbell ringing on the first floor.

He immediately returned to the lobby where a young girl had just arrived at the restaurant.

The familiar long white hair and red eyes, as well as the dark blue pleated skirt and red bow tie at the collar.

Zhou Guang, who was familiar with the other party, asked while putting on a cooking apron

"same as usual?"

"Yes, a cup of hot tea."

"no problem."

Zhou Guang skillfully made hot tea.

This time, I chose Longjing tea again.

Pour boiling water into the teapot, wait until the temperature drops to 80 degrees, put in the tea leaves, cover with a lid, and let it sit for a while to allow the tea leaves to fully release their inherent aroma and flavor.

A few minutes later, Zhou Guang picked up the teapot and evenly divided the tea into two small transparent teacups with graceful movements.

As the tea was poured, a fresh and elegant fragrance spread, filling the entire space.

Finally, Zhou Guang smiled and handed a cup to the girl in front of him.

"Please use it, Teacher Huiyin."

Go to Bai Ze Hui Yin, she is a regular customer at that time.

Huiyin took the tea and took a sip.

"It's still the same, delicious."

"Thanks for the compliment."

"It looks like there aren't many customers today."

"Because we just opened a short time ago, I was surprised to see Teacher Huiyin. She usually comes in the afternoon."

"The 'Human Village' was very busy preparing for a festival, and I gave the children a day off, so the morning class was just a simple assignment."

correct.

Kamishizawa Keiin added

“I got the snacks that Wen brought me and shared them with the children. Everyone loved them.”

"That's good."

"Regarding the celebration I just mentioned, everyone at Human Village wants Mr. Shuguang to help manage the kitchen, and they asked me to ask you if you are available."

"You should be free. Sometimes it's okay to close the store early."

Zhouguang's business hours are not completely fixed.

For him, if there are more important things, the work of opening a restaurant can naturally be postponed.

"Great, I'll be there when the time comes. Just tell me, Mr. Zhou Guang."

"No, no, no, Teacher Huiyin, you are not the one who did it. I remember your reminder clearly."

"Really...Mr. Zhou Guang, those things are long gone."

Kamishizawa Huiyin complained, but her expression looked very happy.

In the past, when Zhou Guang first came to "Gensokyo", he was targeted by Kamishizawa Huiyin.

Because "Bai Ze" will appear before a virtuous king, foretell possible disasters in the future, and give guidance to the king.

Shukou, who suddenly came to "Gensokyo", became her main focus, and in this respect she was not much different from Reimu Hakurei.

After all, the first time I traveled through Zhou Guang, there were many people who were called "kings".

"Maybe we can go to 'Human Village' tonight. If Mr. Zhou Guang is interested, we can meet on that small bridge after sunset."

"Sure, I haven't been to 'Human Village' to buy food for a long time."

"Then it's settled."

"kindness."

Zhou Guang finished chatting and drank the hot tea in his hand.

The date time with Bai Ze Hui Yin was also confirmed.

Chapter 9: Nanase Ren after get off work and the encounter at the restaurant~

"Thank you, big sister! Let's go!"

"Well, I hope the next time we meet, it will be in the park."

In the corridor on the second floor of St. Julianna Hospital, at the corner of the stairs where the smell of disinfectant wafted, a young girl left with her mother who had been hospitalized previously.

After saying goodbye to the mother and daughter, the nurse Nanase Ren, who was called "big sister", put away her smile.

She had just entered the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of St. Julianna Hospital as an intern nurse.
