Will the Re-Summoned Hero Live as an ordinary Person - Chapter 73

Chapter 73

「Welcome!」




Upon entering the inn, Miri greets them with a cheerful voice . However, despite her tone, her expression is stiff .
「Miri, I’ll introduce her . She’s Dinarius, my old comrade’s little sister . Because of some circumstances, I’m going to travel with her now . Today, we came here to have some food . 」
「Dinarius . Please call me Dina . Miri-san, nice to meet you . 」
Although she’s shocked that Souta brought along a woman she doesn’t know, her surprise disappears before Dina’s smile .

「Errr, I’m the daughter of this inn’s owner, Miriana . You can call me Miri . Nice to meet you too . 」
「Yes, I already heard the story from Souta-san, but you’re really cute . 」
「Eh! C-Cute? Me? That…… For that to come from a person as beautiful as this . Moreover Souta-san also said so, hawa~」
Miri covers her face, which has turned bright red, though, because of her fidgeting, her action shows her embarrassment .

「Ufufu~, as I thought, you’re really cute . 」
With that remark, Miri’s fidgeting increases .




「Let’s stop playing around already . We can’t continue like this . 」
「It would be great if you do so . Hey, Miri-chan, I’ll handle the rest, so you help your father out . 」
Unable to just watch any longer, Milfana pushes Miri into the dining room .

Because Miri still wants to talk with Souta and Dina, she has a dissatisfied expression when she’s pushed, but, when she starts to serve another guest, there is only the smile of the daughter of the inn on her face .

「I’m sorry Souta-san, and also, Dina-san, right? Do you want to eat today?」
「Ah, are there any vacant seats?」
「There are . However, it might be a bit noisy because there are other customers……」
Milfana is apologetic as she sends a fleeting glance at the dining room .

「You don’t mind, right?」
「Yes . I’m looking forward to the delicious food!」




Dina replies immediately .
「In that case, there are vacant seats at the back . Please, this way . 」

When they set their foot on the dining room, the hustle and bustle inside instantly quiet down . This inn is affiliated with the guild, so many of the customers are adventures, and many of them know Souta . Their eyes gather on Souta, who has appeared in this city after a long time away, and especially on the silver-haired elf behind him .
Souta and Dina know they’re being watched, but they go to the table without worrying about it .

「Now then, what shall I eat I wonder . 」
After taking a look at the menu which is prepared on each table, Dina is troubled, unable to choose .
「How about the chef’s recommendation . If it’s that, the chef will surely bring out something that he has confidence in, you can look forward to the taste . 」
An expression of anticipation appears on Souta’s face .
「I’ll do that too!」
Looking at Souta’s expression, Dina decides to order the same .

When Miri comes near them, they call out to her and order two orders of the chef’s recommendation . Even though her face reddens when she speaks to the two, she still performs her waitressing duties .

After a while, as they converse, Miri brings their meals .
「Yes, here is today’s chef’s recommendation, 『Flying Dragon Steak』!」
There is a large serving of flying dragon steak on each plate . As the garnish, there’s a corn-like thing, as well as sauteed potatoes .

When cutting with a knife, the blade passes through the meat without resistance, and juices overflow from the meat . Then, they bring the meat to their mouths .
「「Superrr delishhh!」」
Dina’s choice of word is something unimaginable, considering her usual speech . Gordon’s food is just that wonderful, making words like that come out unconsciously . Speaking of flying dragon’s meat, it’s said that it tastes good, but its flesh is very hard to chew . However, when the meat enters their mouths, it’s as soft as marbled beef, so soft that, after chewing just a few times, the meat is gone . The sauce which was applied also compliments the meat’s qualities perfectly . It’s just a light sauce, but, because of that, it promotes the naturally strong flavor of the meat .

「N, excuse me . But, this is very tasty . Now I know why Souta-san recommended it . 」
「I know, right! There’s a lot of street vendors in this city, but the food here is one, no, two or three levels higher than theirs . 」
Dina wears an ecstatic expression, while Souta excitedly talks about the wonders of cooking .
Their voices grow louder over time, but they’re still drowned out by the hustle and bustle of the dining room .

However, their voices still reach Miri’s ears when she’s near them . And so she happily tells Gordon about what she heard . Hearing it, Gordon only shows the stern expression of a cook, but, looking at his restless movements when he cooks, Miri understands that he’s delighted .

「Fuu, that was delicious . I carelessly ordered dessert too, but it seems like it was the right choice . 」
「Yeah, they’re all perfect, they’re far more delicious than the food I ate before . 」
Even though Dina, who’d lived in the royal palace, is the child of a maid, she’s still a member of the royal family, so of course her meals were also made by the top chef in the Elven kingdom . However, Gordon’s food in comparison is still head-and-shoulders above theirs .

「Haha, that’s a great evaluation . Well, then again, I guess it can’t be helped as the meals there are more for work than enjoyment……」
As a hero, Souta was invited to the royal palace before, so he also attended dinner there, but there wasn’t much conversation . Instead of having a meal, Dina and her brother felt more like they were sitting on a bed of nails .
「The past is just the past . What’s more important now is having a meal together with Souta-san now, and that Gordon-san’s food is very delicious!」
Dina seems to have gotten over the past and is now enjoying the food here from the bottom of her heart .

Looking at her smile that comes from her heart, Souta also smiles naturally .
With their atmosphere that others can’t seem to enter no matter what, Miri looks at them with a slightly sad face .
