Chapter 276: Gastronomic town Donos and advanced production quests<hr>
The next day, Kaito and the others resented me, but if I''m the only one who can go, there''s nothing I can do. I want you to do your best at cooking.
The test was over and I immediately headed to the gastronomic town of Donos.
As a result of a fair game of rock-paper-scissors, the members were Ion, Lian, Wako, Bran and Iyuki. I''m d that the members can still control themselves.
Uuuuuh
Lily and the others are looking at me with tears in their eyes...I understand how they feel, but I can''t take all of them with me, so I''ll ask them to give up.
I showed my ticket at the Adventurer''s Guild and the carriage arrived. That was fast! I thought, but then I was amazed at the reason. In front of the Adventurer''s Guild, there was a white horse with wings.
It was definitely Pegasus. I didn''t expect to be spoiled in such a way. By the way, I couldn''t identify it. No, no matter how you look at it, it''s definitely a Pegasus!
By the way, the carriage looks like something royalty would ride in, which suited Pegasus, but not us...we felt so out of ce...we followed the guide to the carriage and Pegasus departed.
We were given sweets and juice along the way and Ion and the others seemed happy. They were eating well, which was great. Lily and the others would definitely be fighting over them.
I look outside the carriage, but there are clouds below. I can''t get any information from them, after all...I have no choice but to eat some cookies.
"Uma!?"
These are made with almond powder...the vor of the almonds and the butter are a perfect match and the crunchy texture is irresistible...great job.
I arrived at the gastronomic town of Donos after enjoying sweets of a level I''ve never had in real life.
In a nutshell, Donos is a town of skyscrapers and candy houses mixed together. The tension of Ion and the others was at its maximum.
"Takuto-san, Takuto-san! What is that brown building?"
"It''s a chocte fondue fountain"
Ion asked me about a chocte fondue fountain on the level of the Tokyo Tower, which in reality would be impossible. In case you''re wondering, there are cheese, green tea, milk, and strawberry fondue fountains in the same building. There are also multiple types of chocte. Perhaps they have different kinds of chocte.
"Takuto-senpai! What''s that boat?"
"It''s a boat of sashimi"
What Lian was interested in was the sashimi boat heap thates out at dinner at a luxury inn. But it was the size of a house. The important thing is that the sashimi looks raw...are you okay with that?
"My Lord! What is that pure white castle?"
"I think it''s a wedding cake"
What Bran found was a castle that was exactly the size of a wedding cake. It also looks raw. I''m worried that the cake will spoil.
"Father! What is that thing that looks like Sabik?"
"Soft cream. That Iyuki? It''s not like Sabik"
What Iyuki found was a house-sized soft cream. This is the only thing that makes me think that there are stores with signs like this in real life.
Then Wako said.
"You really know your stuff, don''t you, Takuto-han"
"I guess not so much"
But the cakes and soft-serve ice cream are interesting. The sponge for the cake is made of flour, the whipped cream for the decoration. The soft serve ice cream is supposed to be made with vani essence and whipped cream. I want this.
After that, I headed to the cooking guild I had been invited to. I was curious to see what the cooking guild was like, but it was the biggest building in town. I was surprised, but when I entered the building, I was convinced.
Inside the building was a cooking area and an ingredient storage area, where many chefs were cooking. It''s like a cooking school. That''s my own image, but...
Apparently, you have to use the elevator to get to the top. It was our first time in the game and of course it was the girls''s first time too. I was surprised to see the elevator for the first time and when I smiled at the girls hugging me, they got mad at me.
When I arrived at the rooftop, there was someone I knew.
"Wee to the gastronomic town, Donos. Three-star chef Takuto. I haven''t seen you since the cooking contest in Fast Town"
"You remembered me. It''s been a while. Chef ss"
He was one of the judges when I had the cooking contest in Fast Town and he was the one who said he was a five-star chef from the gastronomic town of Donos. It''s only natural that this guy would make an appearance.
"Of course. You''ve done well. It is a great pleasure for me to be able to invite you to the gastronomic town Donos"
I''m still embarrassed when a five-star chef says so.
"However, this is a new starting point for the chefs and the production staff"
"What do you mean?"
"Huhu. There are a variety of ingredients here, but only those who have passed a test can buy them. And as for the cooks, it''s a ce where you can take the chef''s promotion test at any time"
Trials would be quests, I guess. From the way he said it, it seems to be very difficult. And the promotion test is a test that allows you to move up in rank.
"What do you want to do? I can challenge you right now, right?"
My answer was obvious.
"I''m sorry, but I''d like to challenge you after I''ve improved my skills a bit"
I have yet to reach the realm of a four-star chef. I would like to challenge myself when I have perfected my original cuisine and feel that I have reached the level of a four-star chef that I am looking for.
"Huhu. It seems that you have learned a lot from that time. Now, if you have any problems with Donos, please ask me. I''ll be here most of the time"
"Thank you very much"
We then went sightseeing in Donos. However, we were tortured by the fact that we could not eat most of the food. The reason is that some of the ingredients used in the dishes are unknown to us.
I now understand what Chef ss meant when he said the starting line. The only way to eat these dishes is to go on a quest.
Here are the quests I picked up.
<b>Request Quest: Protect the rice in the paddy field: Difficulty A</b>
<b>Reward: Rice seedlings</b>
<b>I want you to protect the rice nts from the monsters thate to eat them.</b>
<b>Request Quest Protect the wheat field: Difficulty A</b>
<b>Reward: Wheat seedlings</b>
<b>Protect the wheat from the monsters thate to eat it.</b>
<b>Request Quest Defend the soybean field: Difficulty A</b>
<b>Reward: Soybean seedlings</b>
<b>I want you to protect the soybeans from the monsters thate to eat them.</b>
These three quests are the first ones I can''t miss. Difficulty A has already been cleared. Yes, it''s a zombie event. It''s impossible!
I''m too scared of what kind of monsters woulde to the fields and rice paddies on that level of difficulty!
There''s something else that caught my attention.
<b>Request Quest Harvest coffee beans: Difficulty B</b>
<b>Reward: Coffee bean sapling</b>
<b>I want you to go harvest some coffee beans in the Death Forest.</b>
<b>Request Quest Defend the Chanoki ntation: Difficulty B</b>
<b>Reward: tea nt seedling</b>
<b>Protect the tea ntation from the monsters that are after the leaves of the chanoki tree.</b>
<b>Request Quest Harvest cacao seeds: Difficulty B</b>
<b>Reward: Cacao seedling</b>
<b>Harvest cacao seeds from the cacao trees in the Death Forest.</b>
<b>Request Quest Harvest Vani: Difficulty B</b>
<b>Reward: Vani sapling</b>
<b>I want you to harvest the vani saplings in the Ice Princess Forest.</b>
I''m a coffee drinker. But the difficulty level is too different from mint. Why do I have to go to a ce named Death Forest to harvest it?
And I''m pretty sure vani needs to be harvested in a cold ce, but it probably won''t bloom there...I feel like I''m just being told to go to a very cold ce if I want vani ice cream.
In case you''re wondering, chanoki is the botanical name for tea leaves. It was also used to make tea, but a variant of it, Assam Cha, was made and other variants were made in different parts of the world and the name of the region where it was made became the name of the tea.
That''s about it for food. There were other vegetables, fruits, trees and grasses, but that''s a story for another time.
There was also something else that caught my attention. This is it.
<b>Request Quest Escort the trade ship: Difficulty A</b>
<b>Reward: Nylon</b>
<b>Escort the trade ship.</b>
<b>Request Quest Escort the carriage: Difficulty A</b>
<b>Reward: Polyester</b>
<b>Escort a carriage loaded with goods.</b>
It''s a well-known material for clothing. Yes...it''s not a material for school swimsuits.
"? What''s wrong? Takuto-san"
"N, No. It''s nothing...I''ve seen the quest and registered with Warp Gate, so let''s go back once"
Yes...
The girls look bored. Well, the only fun meal I had was cookies, so it might be unavoidable. Even so, if the swimsuit passes my head and sees the girls...I have to be firm.
I have another test tomorrow. I should study hard for the test and then go to bed.
