Greatest Alchemist? Chapter 367

Reception 2

The main dish was served to the guests at the reception.

「「T-this is!」」
「What dish could this be? To be served a dish this heavenly……」
「Father! It’s delicious!」

Margrave Volton, Earl Rockford were astounded by its taste, while Madam Rose looked enchanted. Miss Emilia also looked at the dish in a dreamlike trance.

The other nobility and royalty were also reacting positively.
It would seem the main dish served, a dragon fillet steak and sautéed Storm Bird foie gras alla Rossini, had thoroughly pleased the guests.
Dragon meat tastes far better than marbled beef…… I had also eaten all sorts of monsters since coming to this world, but the best was dragon meat. In the first place, even Orc meat was more delicious than pork and boar meat.

「Takumi-sama, this is extremely delicious.」
「Please teach me how to cook this later.」
「Master, I will do my best to recreate this flavor too.」
「Y, yeah, later.」

I was under the assumption that it would be impossible to eat a lot because they were wearing wedding dresses, but my ladies were stronger than expected and they they ate everything that was served.

Undine and the Great Spirits were enjoying the food and drinks at a table close to ours.

「……whew, the red wine produced in the Sanctuary pairs perfectly with the rich meat dish.」
「Truly, it enhances the flavor of the dish.」
「The white wine a while ago was delicious, but this is superb as well.」

They drank wine and ate the main noisily. Gnome was satisfied with the wine he brewed with the Dwarves.
Actually, Undine, Gnome, and the other Great spirits wanted to change the banquet to a different day, but they don’t understand how I feel, and the outcome was that I could tell that, aside from the Elves who lived in the Sanctuary and Mimir-sama, the King and Prime Minister who were guests from Yggurle Kingdom were still with nervousness.

(Haa~ You can’t taste the food like that, can ya?)

Perhaps to distract himself from the tension, the King was quickly increasing the pace they drank alcohol. Mimir-sama and the Queen would occasionally stop him…… but he looks like he’s about to fall over.

After some time had passed, the mood in the reception hall had calmed down, the the King of Yggurle Kingdom who was all tensed up had gotten drunk and was talking about stupid things with the Prime Minister. Let’s forget how the Queen and Mimir-sama were giving them icy stares.

Even Vanga-san and Martha-san who were invited from Bohd Village seemed to be enjoying the food and alcohol thanks to Papeck-san, Thomas-san, then followed up by Akane, and Kaede.

Unfortunately, the members of the 「Lion’s Fang」 couldn’t fit it in their schedule, but I plan to hold a dinner party on a later date.

The two Adventurers Guild staff, perhaps having a lot of courage, were enjoying the food and drinks normally.

The people who couldn’t shake off their nervousness were the Aligerous Tribe aside from Berkut. Valkan-san and Valzak-san were uncomfortable amongst the other races.

And on the contrary, Queen Fraal and Ryuka-san, who were the only ones invited from the Demon Continent, ate food and drank alcohol with absolutely no regard for how many or how few new races they met.
Being Mazoku, gazes from others gathered, and as expected, they paid it absolutely no mind.
Because this was a wedding, Queen Fraal wasn’t even wearing the typical Succubus clothing. She was wearing a sort of evening dress, but it was still lascivious. It attracted the eyes of many men.

We couldn’t invite everyone in the Sanctuary to our wedding reception, so there is a banquet being held and the entire Sanctuary is in festivity.

Ooh, it’s just about time for dessert.
Fruit tarts made of plenty of fruits grown in the Sanctuary were cut up, served to the guests.
The women seemed fascinated by its colorful sight, their eyes were sparkling.

The sweets in this world were nothing but dry and crumbly cookies, but because of Akane’s and my influence in the Sanctuary, we can eat western confectionery like pudding, pancakes, crepes, ice cream, and fruit tarts to traditional Japanese confectionery like mitarashi dango, sweet red bean soup, sweet bean jelly. And it was enjoyed not just by the girls in our group, it was also popular with the women and children in the Sanctuary.

「This is it, this fruit tart is the best.」
「I like the strawberry cake with whipped cream though.」
「It’s unfortunate there’s no pudding.」
「I wonder if I could put ice cream on the fruit tart?」
「……I want anko.」

Undine, Sylph, and Dryas ate the delicious looking fruit tart. I guess Selene’s favorite food was ice cream. Nyx, I don’t think anko would suit the fruit tart.

Beside the female Great Spirits eating dessert, Gnome and Salamander poured their own drinks. I wish the Great Spirts would stop pouring themselves alcohol.

To someone like me who knew about my old world’s wedding receptions, this could only be seen as a dinner party, but this was good because it was fun.
