I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated

Chapter 391. City of Curry fans

I didn't want to say anything bad about this fast ship, only good.

First of all, we were treated like clients with no duties on the ship, and due to the speed of the ship, there was not a single instance of demonic beast attacks. A few days of idleness - and the continent of Gilbard appeared on the horizon.

Apparently, such ships are not popular due to their very high cost. Even using the most modern magic propeller, more than ten magic stones are consumed every day on the road. Moreover, this propeller is so large that it takes up more than half of the ship's hull, which is why the capacity suffers 5 times compared to a conventional ship of this size.

So it seems that they were only suitable for transporting high-ranking personalities and especially valuable goods, and could not replace ordinary transport ships in any way.

In general, there were no special incidents on the way, and in the end we again entered the land of Barubora.

- We were glad to serve you.

- Yeah. Thank you.

It seems that the captain of the ship really liked us. Perhaps because during the cruise, we shared with the whole team a demonic beast fish caught from the sea.

Plus, they seem to be very jealous of our ability to use the Spatial Repository. And this item pouch also proved to be surprisingly valuable. It has the capacity of a spatial storage facility with enormous storage capacity. This is an invaluable item for merchants.

- Well, where do we go first? Shall we show up at the Adventurer's Guild? I asked.

- Yeah. Probably need to find out something about Gallus.

- Right. Then you ought to look into the blacksmiths guild.

- Yeah. And then, to the shelter.

In addition, we have an acquaintance in Barubor, a former A-rank adventurer, a lord of threads, and now the owner of the Dragon Diner and also a chef in it - Fermus. It would be nice to say hello to Colbert and the three sales girls if they are in the guild. Although, I think that they are now carrying out assignments somewhere outside the city.

“I’d also go to the Lucille Trading Company. We need to stock up on spices.

- Yeah.

“How about a visit to Fermus at the Dragon Diner?

- Of course, let's go.

- I knew that you would not mind.

Not to be that Fran missed a chance to eat.

But first, we headed to the Adventurer's Guild. We did not spend enough time in Barubor to develop an affection for this city, and we were here not so long ago that we can say that we are bored. But all the same, it seemed as if we were returning to our native land. Maybe because there are many memories associated with this place?

We walked through residential quarters of the city, here and there, skipping buildings that we had not yet had time to repair. But there was something that caught my attention. Of course, it was not surprising that the adventurers knew Fran, but she also attracted the eyes of ordinary people suspiciously.

What, so prettier? Or was Urushi making a strong impression with his new scar on his face now?

But it was neither one nor the other.

- Hmm, are you that black-tailed girl?

- M?

- Exactly! The curry bread I ate back then was delicious! It seems like a dream!

Of course, I heard that curry began to be popular in Barubor, but by this point it seemed to have taken on a particularly large scale. It all started with that culinary competition when the curry bread gained its original fame. Since then, Lucille's company, to whom we sold the recipe, has made a name for itself by selling curry bread and curry paste.

Since the recipe was bought, there have been those who have tried to replicate the original flavor, so all the locals have already tried a variety of curries. Then it became known that curry was invented by a certain character named "Teacher".

"But … I didn't invent curry!"

It looks like Colbert has found significant success. So among the people rumors spread about a black-tailed saleswoman, a student of "Curry Teacher", that is, about Fran.

Suddenly, many people remembered Fran's face at the culinary competition. So it's obvious why the "black-tailed girl" attracted the attention of people so much.

Not that she didn't like it, Fran was neutral about it, knowing that no one was going to harm her. From time to time we have met some curry fanatics making speeches like "Master's curry is the best curry in the world …"

“And the name“ Teacher ”, however, became famous. I mean, it's curry. It looks like everyone's roof was blown off on this basis. "

Eventually, establishments began to appear in front of us with hastily made signs saying "Curry." Looks like all the establishments on this street specialized in curries. Here and there the same word flaunted.

- And how do they manage to withstand such strong competition …

- It's incredible! I'm like in a dream! Fran said.

- Won!

- Well, maybe it's a dream for you.

We will be completely late for the guild at this rate.

- Is that a curry barbecue? I asked.

- What a smell!

- Roar, roar!

Fran immediately bought five. It looked like a chicken skewer sprinkled with yellow curry powder.

- Khrum-Khrum-Khrum …

- Khrum-Khrum-Khrum …

- Well, how's the taste? I asked.

- So-so.

- Won.

That is, not terribly delicious. It probably looked like a regular fish sauce skewer flavored with the right spices. They did not experiment much, and cooked the way most liked.

In addition, due to the extreme popularity of curry, the price of spices skyrocketed, so they skimped on them.

- Three cups, please.

- Good!

- Soup next? I asked.

- Yeah.

- Won.

And this, too, apparently, was not so intense. I immediately felt Fran and Urusi's interest wither away. Although the smell was good, the taste did not live up to expectations.

But despite this, the smell still attracted them, and Fran persisted in ordering new dishes. Well, at least she began to limit portions to one.

- One.

- I beg!

- Ooh.

Everything, now there are no impressions at all! Fran's eyes were like those of a dead fish, the first time I see her like that. But the light in Fran's eyes did not go out even when she was in slavery! And Urusi, obviously, also did not receive what he hoped for.

- One.

- Here you are.

The last place was an open-air stand selling meat pies. Something tells me that again with curry flavor. But to Fran's surprise, they weren't curry pies.

Usually they put something like kima-curry in the manju that they sell on Earth, but here they were ordinary manju with meat. It looks like the meat itself was fried with curry powder. While it wasn't curry manju, it was still a dish from the same category.

While Fran was initially surprised at the inadequacy of expectations, her expression changed after the first bite. Whether it tasted good to her or not, it was immediately clear by the way she began to eat it. She bit the manju three times with a calm expression, as if upset, she suddenly ordered a whole bunch of such manju.

- 30 pieces please.

- Hmm? 30 pieces?

- Uh-huh!

The saleswoman was very surprised, but as soon as Fran handed her the money, she immediately started cooking.

- What, is it really tasty? - I was surprised.

- Yes! Master, cook next time too!

- Won! Won! Won!

Looks like they really liked it. This time the chefs tried to develop the recipe. Well, Fran will at least come to the guild in a good mood.

Who knows, maybe if she came in a bad mood, it would rain a bloody rain. This time, it seems, will do without it. Although it was close.

While Fran's name has become known to more people lately and the number of fools challenging her has decreased, the guild has undoubtedly only strengthened her image. Probably because from the very first days in the guild, conflicts arose constantly.

- Let's go to the guild soon.

In response to my words, there was only a contented chomp.
