Chapter 36
Hotdog The gigantic tree which was his playground back during his childhood days 8 years ago still stood tall. […Oo! Today’s Satur’s day!] Touichiro who just arrived a few days ago found a familiar black door on top of the tree and shouted in joy.
Eight years ago when he used this door with Aya… he had visited this place every day since he was often forgetful when “Satur’s day” was. And today thankfully, Touichiro “reunited” with the door. [Okay, let’s enter inside. Let’s go, A…] As he tried to extent his hand towards Aya… he remembered that there was no one beside him. […Aa, I’m alone now…] He muttered silently and climbed the tree. When he was a child, he always climbed this tree each time he had troubles and managed to reach the summit in a flash, he would sit on a branch that was so thick it wouldn’t break even if several adults sat on it. [The view here hasn’t changed…] As he reached the top, he turned his head to look at the mountains. He could see the view of green mountains that stretched on forever and blue sky with white clouds from the tree top. The view which still remained in his memory burned into his eyes. […Well, let’s go.] Regretting not being able to see the unchanging view with Aya, Touichiro went to fulfill his original purpose. A black door with cat picture that was attached to the tree trunk. He grasped its golden handle and turned it. The sound of bell rang. [Yaa, welcome… oya, are you perhaps Touichiro-san?] The middle-aged man who greeted him was older than the one in his memory. [Long time no see. Sorry to trouble you now, but I would like a hot dog and cola.] While relieving that face to his memory, Touichiro immediately ordered. [Okay… is it just for 1 person?] [Aa, I came alone today, that’s why I ask for hotdog for 1 person. Also, three of it to go please.] Toichirou nodded to the owner’s confirmation. Yes, today he came alone… not with Aya, who was always together with him. […I understand. Please wait a moment.] The owner didn’t want to hear any more details and retreated back to the kitchen. [Fuu… this place also doesn’t change.] He sat down on a seat and looked at his surroundings. He saw figures of old regulars who didn’t change with new familiar customers. The customers were as usual… chaos. Regardless whether they were men or women, when they visit this restaurant… they always enjoyed their food. (If I think about it, it was here in this restaurant where I learned the wonders of the world.) Yes, when he went to this restaurant, because he felt the wonders of his world through this other world and only knew his small hometown, he longed for the “outside” and went on a journey to increase his combat skills. …Along with Aya who was a shrine maiden and became a senior priestess that worshiped the Earth G.o.d. (Various things had occurred now that I think of it…) As a warrior traveller, he left his hometown with Aya and went to the Eastern Continent. There was a lot of sight to see. He fought dangerous monsters and sometimes almost died. Sometimes he rejoiced with his comrades, acquiring amazing treasures. Sometimes his friends died and he grieved. All of the experiences led Touichirou to the warrior that he was now. (But it’s over now…) He thought of the three boys who was journeying the Eastern Continent just like he and Aya back before they started their journey. It was just a few months ago that Touichirou came back to his hometown he left behind after not being able to continue his journey. His hometown warmly welcomed him back after his long absence, he went back to his parents’ home though his father had pa.s.sed away, and his younger brother who succeeded the family was delighted to see him. He spent his time peacefully, his days of adventure seemed so unbelievable now. While it felt boring, he also felt relieved that there were no longer any worries that he might die the next day. He’s still not used to it, but he would be. Before going on his journey, this was normal. [Sorry to keep you waiting! Here’s your hotdog and cola!] While he was reminiscing, the demon waitress brought his order. The waitress was wearing an otherworld uniform that he was not familiar with. Before he went on his journey, the owner handled the restaurant all by himself, so she was probably hired after that. (Indeed, some things do change after all.) [Excuse me, young lady.] He accepted that fact in his heart. [I will deliver your takeaway later! Well then, please enjoy.] The girl placed the dish that he ordered and went to attend other customers. [Well then… let’s eat.] After watching her going away, Touichirou looked at the dish in front of him. He ordered hotdog in this restaurant. Young Touichirou and Aya couldn’t help but loving it, this otherworld cuisine. The hotdog placed on a white plate was just made and was still hot. Pork intestine was sandwiched between baked bread made of wheat, it was seasoned with sour red sauce and hot yellow sauce. …However, this food could only be eaten at the otherworld dining hall. First, he grabbed the hotdog with his bare hands. Just like onigiri, this food must be eaten with bare hands. It shouldn’t be eaten using chopsticks and Eastern Continent tableware. (First…) He lifted it to his mouth… and took a huge bite. In that one bite, the hotdog had wonderful flavor. The first thing he tasted was the baked wheat. The outer part was crispy and fragrant while its inside was soft, sweet and fluffy. (I thought that this was commonplace in the old days.) In the mountains it was normal to eat rice, but bread was commonly eaten in the Eastern Continent where rice was not staple food. …Although the taste was not as delicious as the freshly baked bread of this restaurant, Aya was quite disappointed. The next one he tasted was the pork intestine sandwiched in between. The freshly baked meat wrapping was pierced by his teeth… it had a crunchy texture. Spreading in his mouth at that moment was the juice of the meat and fat, its exquisite taste further enhanced with the subtle spicy of the yellow sauce and the acidity of the red sauce. Every time a large amount of sausage was chewed, its juice overflowed and dyed his tongue. Both the intestine meat and the bread had excellent flavor. However, the essence of hotdog’s taste started from there. (Muu… again, these Oranie and cabbage are delicious.) They were placed under the sausage and could only be tasted after chewing. The shredded Oranie was fried until its sweetness came out; it was different from the pungent taste of raw Oranie. The chopped cabbage was fresh and raw giving different texture to the hotdog. Hidden under the sausage, they couldn’t be seen from above. But they inflated the taste of hotdog to make it even richer just like supporting a lord from the shadow. (Umu, umu… this is the most delicious.) Touichiro was greatly satisfied by the taste of hotdog that he had not eaten for a long time. During his adventure, he went to various places and eaten different sorts of cuisine, but even after that, hotdog was still delicious. (I want Aya to eat this too…) To that taste, as Aya who was not next to him now… he thought of his beloved. Although it’s an inappropriate dream now. Then, he chugged down the cold and sweet cola and stood up. [Owner, it was delicious. Sorry to be a bother.] [Yes, I have prepared your takeaway.] [Umu. Sorry for your trouble.] He gave the owner the money he owed and received the bag made of strange material. Smelling the fragrant scent of hotdog drifting from inside the bag, his stomach grumbled even though he just finished eating. But he told himself to be patient. [Well… I’ll come again.] [Yes. I’ll be waiting.] After he said his goodbye, Touichirou went out. [Well, let’s hurry up.] He carefully slid down the tree and rushed to the town. Touichirou had to hurry. He wanted to arrive before his takeout became cold. [Just wait, Aya. I’ll give you hotdogs until you’re satisfied.] He must take delicious hotdogs to his beloved wife who was taking care of their newborn baby and could not leave the house.
