Chapter 21 – Dinner with the Three Goddesses
I had a good time with the three goddesses, the God of Light-sama, the God of Gastronomy-sama, and the Goddess of the Forest-sama, even though it was work. Well, the God of Gastronomy-sama immediately locked herself in the kitchen. …But now the real work begins. Although I called it a private time, I had time to drink with the three goddesses, slightly intertwined with work. I have to work hard now.
Oh, wonderful. I can’t deny that I would look out of place in the most luxurious room on a luxury liner, but with the goddesses relaxing in the living room, it seems that even this room lacks class.
Even Ines, Felicia, and Alessia-san are not inferior to this room in terms of class, but perhaps the aura of the goddesses exceeded that of the room.
All I can say is that this room was a real eye-opener.
“Wataru-san. Is something wrong?”
Oops, it seems that the God of Light-sama became suspicious when I was admiring the three goddesses. I was staring at the three goddesses, but it was embarrassing to tell the truth.
“No, I was thinking about how to serve the food and drinks. Would it be easier to serve the dishes in order, like a meal?”
As far as I’m concerned, it’s a bit formal, but I think a course meal would be perfect for the atmosphere of God of Light-sama and the others.
“If it were me, it would be easier to eat if the dishes were served in order, but considering Creator God-sama, I think it would be better to serve all the dishes at once. Creator God-sama likes to be ostentatious, so he is more pleased when there are many dishes on the table.”
I completely forgot about Creator God-sama and thought about how to please God of Light-sama and the others, but it seems that God of Light-sama did not forget about her work.
I wanted to eat in a style that would please God of Light-sama and the others, but since the way it’s built is important, let’s entertain them in a style that would please Creator God-sama.
I took the food that the God of Gastronomy-sama had prepared out of the rubber boat and put it on the table. The table was quite large, but not even a third of the food was laid out, and the table was full.
I knew that Gastronomy-sama had cooked a lot of food. But they all look very tasty. Considering that our food life will be enriched in the future, this invitation from Creator God-sama will be a blessing for us all.
“As for alcohol… I have prepared a variety of drinks that you can’t drink on this ship; what would you like to do?”
I summon a rubber boat filled with alcoholic beverages to show that I have also prepared the golden canned beer that the God of Light-sama likes.
“God of Gastronomy, Goddess of the Forest, what do you think we should do?”
The God of Light-sama asks the God of Gastronomy-sama and the Goddess of the Forest-sama. But I didn’t miss the look of her eyes on the golden canned beer. The likeability is sure to increase.
“I would be happy to recommend a drink that would go well with the food if you ask me before you eat, but since the purpose of this event is to find out what drinks go well together, I think you should feel free to share your opinions and enjoy the food.”
“I think it’s fine to be free to enjoy yourself. It’s also a private time, so let’s enjoy the food and drinks.”
“Then let’s each choose our own drinks and share our tastes with each other. Is that okay with you?”
“Yes. That’s fine. It would be a waste to let the food get cold.”
God of Light-sama and the others agreed, so I urged them to start eating. It smells so good I can’t help but get hungry.
“I agree. Then, Wataru-san, please give us a toast. Oh, I’d like that golden canned beer.”
I think as I prepare everyone’s favorite drink. Why me? …I wonder if it’s right for me to make a toast since I’m the host, in case you’re wondering.
But even a normal toast is difficult, and I don’t even know how to make a toast to the gods.
…I don’t want to force myself to be cool, so I’ll just say thank you.
“If I may be so presumptuous… God of Light-sama, God of Gastronomy-sama, and Goddess of the Forest-sama thank you very much for your help on this occasion. I look forward to working with you in the future. Cheers!”
“””Cheers!”””
With a shout of “Cheers!” I swallow my beer. As the host, I can’t get drunk, but there’s nothing wrong with at least drinking the first beer with a bit of gusto.
The God of Light-sama is drinking beer, and the God of Gastronomy-sama and the Goddess of the Forest-sama are drinking sparkling wine.
After quenching our thirst with alcohol, it was time for the God of Gastronomy-sama’s home-cooked meals.
I don’t think it’s a good idea to start with a rice dish, but there is one dish that caught my attention from the moment it was laid out on the table. Crab fried rice.
Of course, this is no ordinary crab-fried rice. This is crab-fried rice made with Big Crab, a monster. Considering its rich flavor, there was no way it could not be delicious.
That’s why I took a serving of fried rice from the plate on the table. But next time, I should at least arrange the dishes by genre. Beef stew next to fried rice is definitely a mismatch.
No, it’s surprisingly delicious when combined with… I knew it wouldn’t be.
I scooped up a bowl of crab-fried rice with a bamboo ladle while thinking about something trivial. It is a simple fried rice with only egg, green onion, and crab. But I could tell just by looking at it. This is delicious fried rice.
When I bite into a piece of fried rice, the rice grains fall apart in my mouth. When I make my own fried rice, it’s not crispy, but it’s as expected from the god who specializes in cooking. It is perfect fried rice.
When I bite into it, the rich crab flavor spreads in my mouth, and the occasional crisp green onion and egg gently envelop the rich crab flavor.
The large salt-boiled crab was delicious, but the rich crab meat seemed to be perfect with the crab-fried rice.
I devoured the crab fried rice, occasionally sipping a beer. Just repeating the process was a heavenly feeling.
The big portion of crab-fried rice was soon empty. …I would like to have another portion, but there are so many other dishes to choose from; should I hold back? But I want to eat more.
“Fufu, I’m glad you like it so much.”
While I was wondering if I should have a second helping, I heard the voice of the God of Gastronomy-sama. I looked up and saw the God of Gastronomy-sama looking at me with a gentle face.
That’s right. My brain had been damaged by the crab-fried rice and beer, but I was sitting at a table with the goddesses. I was a little embarrassed.
“I’m sorry for being vulgar. It was because the God of Gastronomy-sama’s food was so delicious.”
“It wasn’t vulgar at all. You ate in a much more refined way than the God of War and the other gods.”
I’m sure they were pretty ravenous eaters, but is the way the God of War-sama and the others eat really that vulgar?
…I can only remember the sight of them fussing over their drinks. Well, it can’t be helped that when the gods descended, I basically only watched the goddesses.
“Right. You were so full of energy and so cute.”
“Yes, I could tell from your smiling face that you really enjoyed the food. That crab fried rice, I’ll have some too.”
Even the God of Light-sama and the Goddess of the Forest-sama followed me. But that’s a compliment when a child eats a lot of food, right?
“Ah, your glass is empty. What would you like to drink next?”
This is not good. Let’s change the flow of the conversation. It makes me look like a man who can play the role of host well and maturely.
＊＊＊
…The situation has changed.
Good food and drink with the three goddesses. We were supposed to have a pretty happy time, enjoying each other’s company and sharing tastes of food and drink, not to mention feeling like kings in a pond of wine and a forest of meat…
First of all, the Goddess of the Forest-sama got drunk.
She was wonderfully drunk, her cheeks flushed red, and she kept smiling and laughing elegantly. She gently patted my head and said, “Ara, ara, ufufufu,” and I wished with all my heart that time would stop.
I had seen the God of War-sama and the other gods get drunk and act silly, so I knew that gods could get drunk, but the way the Goddess of the Forest-sama got drunk was wonderful.
The problem was the God of Light-sama.
Until a few minutes ago, she had been a serious God of Light-sama and had thought carefully about food and drink. However, the delicious food and alcohol broke through the barrier of the God of Light-sama’s heart, and I saw the adorable God of Light-sama for the first time.
The motherly Goddess of the Forest-sama, who is so sweet, and the God of Light-sama, who shows glimpses of cuteness. Now, if only the God of Gastronomy-sama would be disturbed, I thought, that would be great.
So far…
The God of Light-sama has changed drastically, perhaps because she has exceeded her drinking limit.
It’s not a violent drinking habit, like getting angry or crying, nor is it a bad drinking habit, like getting in trouble with me, the God of Gastronomy-sama, or the Goddess of the Forest-sama.
She is just complaining about Creator God-sama with dark eyes while drinking alcohol with her hands. It seems like her complaints are about to materialize as curses.
Just listening to her, I can understand that the God of Light-sama is under tremendous stress. I would like to ask Creator God-sama to think about this, but he is the Creator God.
The most powerful person in the world is too fickle, selfish, or of too bad a quality.
It’s not that much damage, just a darkening of the dinner table, but what can I do about it? Even if I were the host, the situation is out of my hands.
“God of Gastronomy-sama. What should I do?”
I ask the only sane person in the room, the God of Gastronomy-sama, for help.
“Don’t you think we should just leave it as it is? I’ve never seen the God of Light this drunk before, but it’s a rare opportunity for the serious God of Light to complain, so please watch over her gently.”
God of Light-sama must be having a hard time if even the opportunity to get drunk and complain is so precious.
“Is God of Light-sama strong on alcohol?”
“Instead of being strong, she was taking care of Creator God-sama and was very serious, so I think the correct answer is that she couldn’t drink until Creator God-sama got drunk. Fufu, I see that the God of Light is also intoxicated after being separated from Creator God-sama.”
I see; you mean she misjudged the amount of alcohol she was drinking because of the liberating feeling of not having to worry about Creator God-sama.
The God of Light-sama, who has lived a long time that I can’t even imagine, is showing a rare sight for the first time… I would have liked to see her more glamorous anyway, but if it’s a rare sight, let’s make sure it’s presented well.
“God of Gastronomy-sama. Do you think it’s okay if I record this sight?”
“As far as I’m concerned, it wouldn’t do any good, so don’t do it.”
As expected, no good? Well, that’s natural, isn’t it?
“I understand. By the way, the God of Gastronomy-sama is not drunk. Are you strong with alcohol?”
“I am a little drunk myself. But I’m used to drinking, so I guess you could say I’m strong.”
I see. Alcohol goes with cooking, and she probably has many opportunities to drink.
I would like to see the God of Gastronomy-sama in a state of disarray while the God of Light-sama is left alone to relieve her stress.
Okay, after this, I’ll make it my goal to have the Goddess of the Forest-sama pat me more and make the God of Gastronomy-sama look more disorderly.
