Chapter 240: Night Views and a Hot Day's Dessert
The character name is not finalized. The character name will be fix once the official light novel is release.
After having dinner at the Elf Village, we teleported to New Wrexham.
Today, we are staying at a hotel managed by the workshop.
The room everyone is staying in is on the top floor of the hotel.
I had heard it was fully booked, but Oliver managed to arrange it for us.
“Amazing. To have such a great view.”
“Yeah, you can see the whole town.”
El and Col were delighted.
Unlike my original world, there is nothing to obstruct the view here. You can even see the great plains beyond the town.
While we were looking at the scenery, the sun gradually set—though unlike Japan, the summer days here are quite long.
But unlike other towns, New Wrexham is bright even at night.
There are many towns in the Kingdom, but when it comes to towns with beautiful night views, New Wrexham is probably the best.
“Oliver-sensei, the night view is beautiful because the shops and restaurants are open even at night, isn’t it.”
Kate was also mesmerized by the night view.
“Yes, Kate-san. That is because the commercial facilities have increased. Do you remember the measures taken for that?”
To do a review even at a time like this… Oliver is strict.
“Yes. The W&F Workshop builds the stores at a low price, and the W&F Bank finances the operating funds, correct?”
Answering calmly without panicking, Kate is also impressive.
Recently, Oliver made the workshop’s financial division independent and established a bank.
Since the workshop’s profits have accumulated and exceeded the amount needed for reinvestment, it seems the plan is to use the funds for financing and investments.
After enjoying the night view for a while, we split into boys’ and girls’ rooms.
The boys went to sleep right away, but it seems the girls stayed up late talking.
That aspect really feels like the true charm of a summer training camp.
But I wasn’t told what the girls talked about.
On the second day of the summer training camp, Kate studied under Oliver from the morning, while the rest of us explored the Black Soil Zone.
When we teleported to the Black Soil Zone, we were enveloped in humid air.
“Whoa, it’s even hotter than yesterday.”
“The high humidity makes it tough too.”
We immediately fled into the carriage.
The inside of the carriage is air-conditioned.
But staying inside the whole time wouldn’t be exploring.
We stepped outside the carriage to examine the vegetation or fight monsters.
The Iron Golem squad led by Legato defeats the monsters for us, but since it also serves as training, everyone occasionally fights alongside the Golems too.
While doing this, we ended up drenched in sweat, so we decided to take our lunch break early.
After taking a shower in the carriage, it was time for lunch.
Today’s lunch, prepared by the Rinaldi Company, was pasta with tomato sauce, mixed with minced meat and eggplant.
When you bite into the eggplant, the savory flavor overflows in your mouth. It really makes you realize how delicious eggplant becomes when it absorbs oil.
It’s simple but delicious.
I heard it was a famous Sicilian dish in my original world.
Based on my hazy memories, Baker-san created the recipe, and it seems he also passed it on to the Rinaldi Company.
For dessert, we had shaved ice.
Come to think of it, I heard Flora has been making it for her little brother, the Prince, lately.
“It gives you brain freeze, but this is exactly what you need on a hot day.”
“Yeah, it’s cold and delicious.”
Gil and Col hit it off while eating shaved ice.
Eating delicious food together brings people closer.
Shaved ice on a hot day is a surefire hit.
But today isn’t just about shaved ice.
I had something prepared to unveil on a hot day like this.
“Since I thought it would be hot in the undeveloped lands, I have something prepared.”
I took out a box-shaped iron machine I had stored away and placed it on an empty table.
Because the carriage’s living room has been spatially expanded to be quite spacious, there are other tables besides the one everyone is sitting and eating at.
“You made something again, didn’t you.”
“I feel a mix of anticipation and anxiety.”
“Why do both Letty and Flora look so worried? It’s a machine for making food this time, so it’s fine.”
Saying that, I turned on the machine’s switch and pulled the lever.
Cream came out, and as I rotated the cone placed underneath, it formed a swirl.
That’s right, what I made this time is a nostalgic soft-serve ice cream machine.
“Master, what is this?”
“Fufu, just try a bite first.”
“Wow, it’s cold and delicious.”
Taking a bite, Theo‘s eyes widened.
As I handed them out to everyone, they all began to praise it one after another.
“This is a wonderful thing.”
“To be so cold and sweet… this is the taste of happiness.”
“I feel like this painfully hot day isn’t so bad after all.”
Yeah, on a hot day, cold and sweet things are justice.
I’m glad I prepared it.
After taking a breather over lunch, we advanced south through the Black Soil Zone.
Partway through the afternoon, we stepped into an unexplored region that hadn’t been mapped yet.
As expected, the number of monsters increased.
After advancing for a while, Luna made a surprised expression.
“This is…”
A little later, I noticed it too.
“Yeah, looks like a formidable enemy is making an appearance.”
I gave instructions to the Golem Horse to stop the carriage.
The twin guards seemed to have noticed the monster’s presence as well.
With tense expressions, they advised Flora.
“Your Highness, please flee with William-sama using Teleportation Magic. A mighty swarm of monsters is attacking.”
“If necessary, we will buy you time.”
To the tense twin guards, Flora answered calmly.
“If we flee, we will all flee together. If we need to buy time, the Golems will do their best for us.”
“That’s right. We have the Golems with us, after all.”
“Yes. Besides, I am sure there is no need to flee.”
