Gentleman's Night Canteen

He was a little surprised. After all, in Lan Meng's view, the two should belong to different worlds. How did they start talking?

And it seems that the two parties don't seem to care about their respective identities. Could it be that the two selectively ignored their identities as people from different worlds?

Lan Meng was confused, but finally decided to give up thinking, after all, it was a good thing for him.

"You two, I kept you waiting for a long time."

After skillfully placing the food in front of the two of them, he temporarily stepped aside.

Seeing Lan Meng's actions, Sawamura Eriri nodded silently in her heart, although she looked calm on the surface.

Although this store has just opened, the owner is quite good at being a man. He knows that he should not disturb the customers. The next step is to taste the taste. If the taste is not bad, it is a good store... After all, it is closer to his own home , You don’t need to run too far when buying supper at night.

Due to the limitation of ingredients and time, the food prepared by Lan Meng for Eri Sawamura is very simple.

Mashed potatoes made before, plus vegetable and fruit salad and vegetable soup.

Although Lan Meng didn't know this new guest, it could be seen from the customer's order that he should be more concerned about calorie intake, so Lan Meng specially prepared a salad soy sauce and vinaigrette for him.

Generally speaking, many people have a misunderstanding when eating salad. Many people only know to eat salad when losing weight, and then buy thousand island dressing and other sauces in the supermarket to match the salad, but in fact, the calories of these sauces are simply explosive. It is better to fry directly in the oil pan with vegetable salad.

The salad that can really play a role in weight loss refers to the salad configured with vinaigrette.

Vinaigrette itself has lower calorie content, and its sweet and sour taste has an appetizing effect.

You should know that salad is good at the beginning, but once you eat too much, you will feel tired. At this time, a little appetizing vinaigrette can make you fall in love with salad again.

The vinaigrette made by Blue Dream is also very simple, just made with salt, apple cider vinegar and olive oil.

The unique sweet and sour taste of apple cider vinegar was paired with the vegetable salad. Eri Sawamura also narrowed her eyes unconsciously, but then nodded in satisfaction.

Eri Sawamura’s requirements for food are actually not as high as many people imagined. It can even be said that as a house girl, she prefers fat house happy water with potato chips when she is not going out, but at least it is occasionally I need to accompany my parents to attend the banquet, and I still have some knowledge about some food.

Although she can't say anything specific, the fresh ingredients and just the right acidity are enough to show the creator's intentions.

Seeing Eirika Sawamura's expression of enjoyment, Artoria on the other side stopped bothering her and continued to enjoy the food in front of her.

Maybe it's because he has gradually filled his stomach, the speed of the other party has also dropped a lot, but to Lan Meng's surprise, the other party sighed suddenly when he was halfway through eating.

This can't help but make Lan Meng a little nervous. Could it be that there is something wrong with what he did?

Although Lan Meng really wanted to ask the other party, he still knew the common sense not to disturb the other party when the guests were eating.

But maybe Lan Meng's gaze was too hot, and the other party couldn't help but glance at Lan Meng.

"Mr. Store Manager, what's the matter?"

Artoria couldn't help but look at herself silently, to confirm that there was nothing strange about her.

Facing Artoria who took the initiative to speak, Lan Meng no longer hid her thoughts, and directly asked about the other party's previous affairs, and Artoria was unconsciously stunned after hearing Lan Meng's words, because she did not Thinking that Lan Meng actually cared so much because he sighed.

"That... is actually because the teacher and I came to this town to visit the 'ceremony'. The ceremony should end tomorrow, so we naturally need to go back. I don't know when we will have a chance to eat, boss. The cooking...all a bit lost."

After finishing speaking, Artoria's cheeks also blushed subconsciously. After all, it is quite embarrassing to admit that she is a foodie in front of someone she has not known for a long time.

But in order to keep Lan Meng from thinking wildly, she decided to 'sacrifice' herself.

Lan Meng, who heard Altria's words, was unconsciously relieved. Fortunately, he thought that there was nothing wrong with the cooking, and he was faintly happy, after all, the cooking he made was appreciated by others. recognized.

As for the other party's worries————

"I believe we will have a chance to meet again~"

Although Lan Meng doesn't have a deep understanding of his own system, the "Gate of Destiny Food" clearly states that "guide the customers who need to appear in the store", whether it is the handsome guy in front of you, or the blond guy next to him. Girl, they were obviously hungry when they appeared in the store. If the other party encounters a situation like today again one day, they should be guided by the "Gate of Destiny Food" again, right?

"As the first customer in the store, I will send you a Q when you visit again... [-]% off."

Originally, Lan Meng wanted to give the other party a [-]% discount, but thinking about the unwashed tableware in the kitchen, he silently changed it into a [-]% discount.

It's not that Lan Meng is stingy, in fact, according to the situation of the previous "General Thunder", Lan Meng gradually realized that perhaps the key to this store is not to make money, but to satisfy customers. Of course, Lan Meng's goal is to More 'simple', he simply hopes to get their 'gifts' by satisfying the guests.

That being the case, in order to increase the source of customers and the rate of return, he does not plan to set the price too high, otherwise he will make less money because he can't afford it. Isn't it a small loss?

So even though the specific pricing has not yet been determined, he has already decided to add some labor costs on the basis of material costs as pricing, focusing on a parity price.

That being the case, if the discount given to the guest in front of him is too high, he may not be able to make ends meet, but it is not too low. After all, in Lan Meng's opinion, although the other party can eat, he is still more expensive than the brothers in the Xingchen stronghold. It's not much more, so the price of [-]% off should be considered more reasonable. Although you don't make a lot of money selling a dish, at least you won't lose money.

It's just that Lan Meng at this time probably didn't realize that his sudden decision would help him avoid a 'bankruptcy' crisis one day in the future.

As for Artoria on the other side, her eyes lit up even more after hearing Lan Meng's words.

Although looking at the interior decoration and Blue Dream, the price of this store should not be too exaggerated, but for Artoria, who is still just a servant, it is natural to save money and so on.

"Thank you~ Mr. Store Manager! If you need my help in the future, please let me know. After the king selection ceremony is over, I should return to the territory of 'Sir Ector' with the teacher. At that time, you can write Letter to me..."

Although Lan Meng didn't feel that he would trouble the other party with anything, he did not refuse the guest's overtures.

"If I need to trouble you at that time..."

Artoria was in a happy mood because she suddenly got a permanent discount card, and Lan Meng on the other side seemed to foresee the scene where the other party would frequent in the future. Both of them smiled very brightly for a while.

Only on the other side, Sawamura Eriri couldn't help but stare at the two with strange eyes...

Chapter 14 A handsome brunette with a blond knight or a straight black with a blond?

Although Eri Sawamura didn't say everything she said to Artoria before, none of it was a lie. She also had the idea of ​​looking for inspiration during her long-lost 'night excursion' this time.

Originally, I planned to see if I could meet someone who was suitable for making a pig's foot, that is, I entered Lanmeng's store after I was tired from shopping, but because of the strange whimpering sound in the store and suspicion that Arturia might recognize him. I was forced to distract myself.

But now that she learned that the strange whimpering seemed to be just a misunderstanding, and at the same time she and Altria each grabbed the 'little tail' (self-confessed), she also gradually calmed down, and at the same time, her eyes were unconsciously caught by Lan Meng and Altria. Attracted by Toria or Arthur.

Although Eri Sawamura is not very interested in the handsome blonde guy for her own reasons, she has to admit that 'Arthur' is still very attractive to ordinary women.

Dazzling blond hair, bright smile, and good appearance, are definitely not low on the lethality of ordinary women, and even similar characters often "appear" in her comics, but also because of personal reasons, plus She hates this kind of guy who is not smiling, so that this kind of character either plays the role of a bitter master in her comics, or uses the reversal to be a yellow hair.

On the contrary, she doesn't draw much for the type of Lanmeng. The first thing to confirm is that although Eri Sawamura draws books, the books she draws are all male-oriented. Generally speaking, the male characters in this type of books are all male As a foil, it is generally not too important to draw.

In contrast, male characters are the key in female-oriented books. As far as she knows, strong young men next door with bright smiles like Lan Meng are very popular, especially by mature women. Wake up, after all, most mature women are very tired for practical reasons, the attraction of this kind of role that can give them a sense of security and bring them a smile can be imagined.

Recently, handsome blond guys have tended to retreat from the environment. It seems that characters like blond elves with big breasts in this book have gradually begun to develop into comedians because they are too prevalent...

Wait, if you look at it from a female-oriented perspective, it seems that the blond gentleman knight handsome guy and the black-haired sunny chef youth are not impossible...

its not right!I'm not a rotten girl, how could I think of such a mess? !

Sawamura Eriri, who almost accidentally stepped into an abyss, instantly realized something was wrong, and quickly shook her head to shake the strange picture out of her mind.

But because Lan Meng and Artoria had a happy chat about 'how to make mashed potatoes better' at this time, her eyes were always attracted to the two unconsciously, the strange picture...especially The strange whimpering sound of 'Arthur' before she entered the door made her very concerned.

Suddenly, she suddenly realized one thing. Although many authors, including her, often put the characters of the people around them into the characters when drawing comics, in fact, they sometimes make some adjustments to avoid some troubles. , such as————change gender!

If you think about it this way, the picture in your mind is quite normal.

But this made her have to face new choices.

Who will change?

The black long straight elder sister who opened a mysterious restaurant and the blond young knight who strayed into the restaurant?

Or a strong black-haired youth and a naive foodie girl?

As a best-selling book artist, Eri Sawamura's intuition told her that if these two themes were drawn, the effect should be good, but in the end he gave up his plan to sissy Lanmeng.

As for the reason?

It's very simple, because she hates Hei Changzhi!

"In this case, let's draw according to the second plan. What did Arthur say just now? Participating in COS? No, it's too troublesome. Just set the background to ancient times or a different world, and directly use the female knight's The setting of "Gusha" will never be outdated... just set it as a female knight who failed to participate in the competition and ran into a male pig's foot in a restaurant..."

Suddenly inspired, Sawamura Eriri couldn't care less about eating the food in front of her, so she took out the drawing board around her and began to draw simple character designs and storyboards.

Among them, the male pig's feet can directly refer to Lanmeng, but in order to prevent troubles to the other party, it must be changed. As for the female knight, she needs to be original, but she plans to add some "Arthur" characteristics, such as advocating chivalry. , Another example is the dull hair on the head or something.

"Shusha~~"

Although Lan Meng and Arturia had a very happy chat, the sound of the paintbrush rubbing against the paper from time to time still attracted their attention unconsciously.

Although Artoria had seen Eiriri Sawamura's drawing board before, and was also shocked by the opponent's strength, but at this time, watching the opponent suddenly put down the spoon and start drawing, she couldn't help but sigh the opponent's efforts.

Glancing at the dark sky outside the window, Artoria decided to bid farewell to Lan Meng.

For the farewell of the other party, Lan Meng is obviously a little bit reluctant, not only because the other party is her first guest, but also because it is very happy to chat with the other party, especially when telling Xiang Xiang himself about the knights near the square during the day. The duel is even more fascinating to Lan Meng. After all, how many men in this world don't yearn for swords, lights and swords?

In fact, not only Lan Meng is interested in the stories Artoria tells, but Arturia is also interested in some of the 'tricks' introduced by Lan Meng.

According to Artoria herself, her craft is "eatable", and Lan Meng taught her some simple seasoning methods, such as how to make jam with wild fruits, and it has a special flavor when paired with bread.

For Artoria, who is a foodie, this method of making herself eat better without any cost is second only to practicing swordsmanship with others.

Although the parting with Lan Meng made her feel a little short-lived, she didn't pay much attention to it. She went out on adventures with her teacher more than once, and she knew very well that although the parting was sad, it also represented the next encounter.

Walking on the trail that separated her from her teacher, Artoria looked at the bright starry sky above her head while recalling everything that happened today.

In Artoria's view, today is her lucky day. She not only witnessed the duel of several knights, but also met some young knights of the same age, and finally met a chef with good skills.

But the only thing that made her a little helpless was her empty wallet.

"It's the teacher, he doesn't know where he went..."

She was happy when she ate, but when she paid for it after eating, she couldn't help but sigh that if her teacher was there, she would probably be able to prostitute for nothing.

But at this moment, the sudden sound of breathing behind her caused Arturia, who was originally helpless, to narrow her eyes suddenly, and at the same time, the saber around her waist was unsheathed instantly.

"Bang~"

Accompanied by the crisp crashing sound, the sword blade collided with a long wooden staff, followed by a somewhat frivolous voice.

"What an unlovable student~ You were still looking for me before, but when I took the initiative to come out, it was a sword..."

Although the other party's expression was very exaggerated, Artoria didn't care at all. After sheathing the sword, she continued to walk forward decisively, while Merlin sighed helplessly.

This disciple of mine is becoming less and less cute as he grows up.

But sighing, he still quickened his pace to catch up. After all, tonight is the night that decides the fate of the other party.

Thinking of everything he had prepared before, Merlin's always cynical expression also rarely became serious, but in this seriousness, there was a struggle.

It seems that what he is going to do next makes it difficult for him to make up his mind...

Chapter 15 Can cooking remove the transformation magic?

It can be said that Altria has long been used to her teacher's funny.

For example, although she had a worried expression just now, Artoria knew that the other party was not worried at all. Although every time the other party taught her sword skills ended in a draw, she knew very well that the other party had never used all her strength.

What's more, when she sensed the identity of the person behind her, she had already withdrew her sword just now, so it was impossible to injure the opponent.

But at this moment, she suddenly found that there was no voice behind her, and she couldn't help being a little concerned, but perhaps because of the unique way of getting along between the master and the apprentice, she didn't ask the other party directly, but instead used other topics to attract the other party's attention force.

"Mr. Merlin, is there any way to undo the magic you released for me?"

Artoria's question immediately caused Merlin to restrain his serious expression and show his usual cynical smile.

"Of course~ After all, there is no magic that can't be dispelled in this world...No, maybe it exists, but at least I can't do it, but the magic you mentioned...can't be dispelled by ordinary people."

Although the master and apprentice just used "that magic" to refer to each other, Merlin knew that what the other party was talking about was the "gender replacement magic" that he had released for the other party.

At first glance, there seems to be nothing strange about this magic. After all, although transformation magic is not common, it is not too rare, but the magic he released is extraordinary, and it even involves Camelot's "lake" fairies'.

His disciple Artoria always thought that he was just an ordinary orphan, but Merlin knew that the other party was actually a descendant of the previous King Uther of Camelot. Kay was raised by his father, one of King Uther's most trusted knights.

The reason for doing this is because the opponent in the 'prophecy' will lead Carmelo to the top.

It's just that the only surprise is Artoria's identity as a woman.

Although Merlin doesn't care about the gender of his disciples, it is even more difficult for women in this era...or illegitimate daughters to inherit the throne. After all, even though King Uther has no sons, his daughter is still there, and the right to inherit is not his turn at all. Artoria, the illegitimate daughter.

You must know that in the eyes of the vast majority of people in Camelot, the other party is the legal heir of King Uther.

So King Uther asked the 'Lake Fairy' to help him solve this trouble before his death.

As for the executor, it was Merlin.

The solution is to make the other party 'turn into a man'. According to the magic taught by the fairy in the lake, this is a magic that is completely different from ordinary transfiguration.

Ordinary transfiguration can indeed change a person's appearance and even gender at will during the casting period, but it is not difficult to cancel it, but the magic given to Merlin by the "Fairy of the Lake" is very special, it cannot modify the appearance of the cast target, Because the essence of this magic is not 'change' at all, but to replace itself with the self in the parallel world.

But as Merlin said, there is no completely unsolvable magic in this world.

The first and easiest way is naturally to remove it violently, relying on powerful magic power to forcibly destroy the spell that Merlin released on Artoria, but as far as Merlin knows, at least there should be no one with such strength among human beings.

As for the second method, start with Artoria herself.

This kind of magic is a constant spell. Since it is a constant spell, it naturally needs a source of magic power, and this source of magic power is Artoria itself.

As for the third method, it also exists, but it is the least likely one in his opinion.

Because the last one is to interfere with the connection between Arturia and the parallel world itself.
