Meet the principal

On the dome is a picture depicting boys and girls cheering and jumping. The candlelight is swaying. Reiner and others are sitting cross-legged at the round table, and in the chairman's position is the owner of Sand House, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

It is said that sitting cross-legged is a custom in Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's hometown. This formal dining method is only used when facing the most distinguished guests. Reiner doesn't care much about it, but a person like Alymiya who has received a good aristocratic education is reserved. The girl is not used to sitting cross-legged.

She chose a compromise position, with her legs slightly together and her calves spread apart on both sides. This posture was a bit like a duck, but it was not obvious from the outer robe.

Agnes sat down cross-legged generously. She knew Jabbar best, so she naturally sat next to him.

"Everyone, this is where I receive important guests. I hope you don't feel restrained."

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar still spoke in the common language with a strong accent. With a wave of his hand, he saw the waiters serving a sumptuous dinner.

Reiner had always been a little skeptical before, but when he saw the table full of food, he finally confirmed it.

It turns out that this Jabbar is indeed from that country in the desert.

Everyone has a plate of rice in front of them. There are red and yellow carrots between the warm rice grains. Large pieces of tender lamb are dotted in the rice. In the middle of the table is a plump roast lamb. There are also various kinds of things on the table. Sticky stew of yellow and green vegetables and meat, and of course, perfectly baked bread. Reiner has never seen these foods on the tables of nobles before. Obviously, this is not a common delicacy on the continent. , but rather exotic specialties.

"What's this......"

Emilia asked hesitantly as she looked at the sticky stew in front of her.

"This is a delicacy from my hometown. Curry is made with ginger, chili, garlic, onion and other spices. It is very delicious when stewed with vegetables and meat. You must try it."

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said quite proudly, and then he briefly introduced each dish, but they were basically chicken yellow curry, beef yellow curry, mutton green curry, etc. They all seemed to be randomly paired with curry and various animal meats.

Amelia has never heard of the word curry, but she still knows the spices such as chili peppers. Judging from the recipes, these dishes seem to be quite strong.

Reiner knew about curry. Although the pronunciation of the word was far different from that on earth, Reiner roughly guessed it from what he saw and Jabbar's explanation. He picked up a spoon and filled a small plate of curry.

Serve it in your mouth with rice.

The first thing you feel is the spiciness of curry, but this is not the kind of spiciness that makes your throat burn, but the key to stimulating your mouth and tongue and whetting your appetite. The vegetables and meat have been tainted with the taste of curry. The own taste blends with it and becomes rich in layers. The soft rice plays a mediating role in it, making people unable to bear to stop eating.

After seeing Agnes and Reiner eating the curry, everyone else also picked up their plates. Only Alymiya stared at Reiner's expression and did not dare to take action.

"Almiya, why don't you eat?"

Jane sat next to Amelia, who was enjoying this exotic delicacy. Seeing that the food in front of Amelia was barely moving, she asked curiously.

"Well......"

Emiya hesitated to speak. She glanced at Reiner who was eating happily. Reiner gently put down his spoon and said to Emiya.

"It's delicious, don't you try it?"

After hearing Reiner's words, Emiya felt more resistant.

Yes, even if she, Amelia, starved to death, she would never eat such sticky food!

But then I thought about it, it seemed that I was disrespecting Kareem Abdul-Jabbar so much. After all, it was food carefully prepared by others, and other people didn’t have any strange reactions when eating it. Should I give it a try?

After thinking again and again, Amelia finally picked up the spoon, followed Reiner's example, mixed the curry and rice, and put it into her mouth.

So delicious!

This was Emilia's first reaction.

I didn’t expect this slimy-looking food to be so delicious!

She didn't have time to chew it carefully, and her throat swallowed it on her own initiative. At this moment, Alimiya only had one thought in her heart.

Take another bite!

She eagerly took another spoonful of rice covered in curry sauce and was about to put it into her mouth when she saw Reiner looking at her with a mysterious smile.

"It tastes really good, doesn't it?"

Reiner's question made Amelia a little embarrassed. On the one hand, this curry was indeed very delicious, enough to treat Amelia's hungry body. On the other hand, her previous resistance now seemed so ridiculous. Continue Eating delicious food always makes Emiya feel like she is being slapped in the face.

After hesitating for a moment, Emilia finally gave up thinking.

Who cares, as long as it tastes good.

Emilia nodded silently and continued to eat the curry on the plate at an elegant but non-stop speed.

Jabbar, Agnes and others discussed various topics, ranging from the current situation in the magical world to the prices of goods in the demiplane, and Alymiya, who was unable to interrupt and had no interest in speaking, naturally had to fight with the food on the table. .

In addition to the special curry, the roasted lamb and fried rice are also quite delicious. These spice-focused dishes have a special flavor. The spicy but not obtrusive food gives Alymiya, who usually only eats simple and light food, a special flavor. Such a feeling.

But after filling her stomach, Emiya was a little confused.

It seems that he has become like Reiner without realizing it. He should obviously be more principled.

When they were struggling, the waiter brought another ice cream dessert and placed it in front of everyone.

The snow-white ice cream ball is dotted with vanilla. It seems that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s homeland has penetrated spices into all aspects of life.

No matter what, just eat and that's it.

Emilia no longer hesitated, picked up the ice cream and took a bite with a small spoon.

The sweet ice cream is cold and delicious, and the vanilla embellished with it is not just for decoration. You can feel that the vanilla has been mixed in as an ingredient when making the ice cream. Compared with the ice cream that only had rich and sweet taste in the past, Elimi The one in Ya's hand has a more diverse taste experience.

"It looks like you enjoyed your dinner quite a bit."

Reiner whispered to Emiya who was immersed in the delicious ice cream, causing the girl who had always been expressionless to blush.

Emilia subconsciously moved her body that was stiff from sitting for a long time. When faced with Reiner's question, she lost her previous aloofness and answered honestly.

"It's all because it's delicious..."
