I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"Hmm, I'm a little tired now, I'll go and rest later."

Just as Princess Mishiore was about to change into her pajamas and rest for a while, a door suddenly appeared in her room, which surprised her a little.

"This is... a door?"

Princess Mishiore looked at the door that had appeared in her room with a puzzled and surprised expression. She rubbed her eyes, then opened them wide again, covering her mouth in astonishment, and said:

"Ah, it's not a hallucination?!"

Then, looking at the sign on the door that read "Melu Cat Restaurant" with a puzzled expression, Mishiore said:

"Speaking of which... this script looks very similar to the script from another world that I saw using the Star Chanting technique last time... What does it mean?"

However, Miciore looked at the nameplate on the door, which featured a cat, cutlery, and a plate, and said:

"This looks like a restaurant."

With this curiosity in mind, Mishiore reached out and grasped the doorknob, pushed open the door, and went inside. Then Mishiore saw that the decoration was like a restaurant, and it really looked like a restaurant... However, many of the things inside were things she had never seen before. Is this what they call a restaurant in another world?

Just as Miciore was feeling quite curious about what was inside the room, a sudden voice startled her.

"Welcome to Meru Cat Restaurant."

Yuhaka tilted his head and looked at Mishiore, saying this while curiously examining Mishiore's dog ears and wagging tail. This made Yuhaka wonder if the beast-eared girl in front of him was from the Terra world. However, Yuhaka quickly noticed that he could not smell the unique scent of the Terra world on this beast-eared girl, well, the scent of Originium or something.

Immediately, Yuhaka's big, excited tail went limp and listless, as if it had lost all its energy. But even so, Yuhaka still welcomed the animal-eared girl into his Meru Cat Restaurant.

Mishiore was surprised to hear Yuhaka's words. Although she didn't know what was going on, maintaining the good child's habit of asking questions when asked, Mishiore asked Yuhaka:

"Excuse me, where is this place?"

"O_o?"

Hearing Mishiore's question, Yuhaka, who was about to get a glass of water, turned to look at Mishiore. At the same time, a small question mark appeared on Yuhaka's head. Didn't she just say that this place was called Meru Cat Restaurant? Why is this animal-eared girl asking her such a question?

Yuhaka was puzzled by this.

However, after hearing Mishiore's explanation, Yuhaka finally understood that the beast-eared girl wanted to know where this place was.

Chapter 182 [Curry Pork Chop Rice]

"Earth?"

Yuhaka nodded and said to Mishiore sitting opposite him:

"Yes, on Earth, in a country called Japan."

Hearing Yuhaka's words, Mishiore looked at Yuhaka with a puzzled expression and said:

"So this place isn't on Freud?"

As for Mishiore's question, after a few question marks popped up above Yuhaka's head, he thought for a moment and then nodded, saying:

"Um, no, Freud, meow, go up."

Then Miciore said with an amazed expression:

"So that's how it is... I really have come to another world!"

Hearing Mishiore's words, Yuhaka simply tilted his head and looked at Mishiore with a puzzled expression, saying:

"Different world?"

Misiore nodded, smiled, and looked at Yuhaka, saying:

“Yes! My name is Misiore F. Biscotti. I am a princess from the Republic of Biscotti, and also the lord of the Republic of Biscotti.”

“Mishiore F... Ugh, Bis..."

Seeing Yuhaka's distressed expression, Mishiore quickly waved her hand and said:

"Ah! You can call me Mishiore or Mishi, it's fine! If you don't mind, you can also call me Mishi-neechan, that's okay too!"

Hearing Mishiore's words, Yuhaka nodded to indicate that he understood and then spoke:

"I understand, Mishi."

After hearing Yuhaka call her name, Mishiore nodded happily and said "Mmm." Then, Mishiore looked at Yuhaka and said:

"So what's your name?"

Hearing Mishiore's words, Yuhaka tilted his little head and said to Mishiore:

“Youyou.”

"Okay~ I understand, Yu-Yu-chan~"

With a happy expression, Mishiore nodded and said this, then Yuhaka handed Mishiore the menu he was holding and said:

"Mishi, ordering~ OwO"

Mishiore, with a blank expression, took the menu handed to her by Yuhaka and paused for a moment. Then she remembered that Yuhaka's place seemed to be a restaurant. Well... Mishiore was also very curious about what the food in another world was like. In addition, she hadn't eaten much today, so it would be a good opportunity to try what the food in another world tasted like.

Then, with a curious smile, Mishiore opened the menu in her hand to see what kind of different dishes were available in this other world. However, Mishiore discovered a big problem: she couldn't understand the words on the menu that Yuhaka had given her.

With a stiff smile and a bead of cold sweat trickling down her forehead, Mishiore fell silent as she looked at the menu in her hand, which was covered in Japanese, Chinese, and English. After all, the script used by Fromold on Mishiore's side was not like the English alphabet used in typical Japanese light novels where characters travel to other worlds; it was Fromold's unique script.

Fortunately, the clever Mishiore noticed that the menus Yuhaka gave her all had pictures. Mishiore could choose the dishes she wanted based on the pictures. Soon, Mishiore pointed to a picture with the words "Curry Pork Chop Rice" written below and said to Yuhaka:

"Um, Youyou, could you please make me this dish?"

Upon seeing the curry pork chop rice that Misiore pointed to, Yuhaka nodded and said:

"Youyou, I got it. Also, Mixi, do you want it spicy or sweet?"

When asked by Yuhaka, Mishiore was taken aback for a moment. After thinking for a while, she told Yuhaka to order sweet curry, since Mishiore was going to have a concert that night and spicy food might not be a good idea.

Upon hearing that Misiore wanted sweet curry, Yuhaka told Misiore to wait a moment and then ran to the restaurant kitchen to start making the curry pork chop rice.

..............

In the kitchen of the Melu Cat Restaurant.

After peeling and chopping the carrots, potatoes, and onions into small pieces, Yuhaka sautéed the onions over low heat until softened. Then, he added the chopped carrots and potatoes and stir-fried them until they changed color. He then added sweet curry cubes and poured in water to break up the curry cubes. After that, he covered the pot with the lid and simmered it over low heat for 15 minutes, until it became thick.

While cooking the curry, Yuhaka also went to prepare the next ingredient needed, which was fried pork cutlet.

For pork, Yuhaka chose pork tenderloin from a mushroom-grown pig to make fried pork cutlets. After taking out a piece of pork tenderloin of a suitable size from her own dimensional space, Yuhaka cut the pork tenderloin into 1cm thick slices, and then used the back of a knife to pound the pork tenderloin to loosen it up, trying to make the texture of the pork tenderloin better.

Then Yuhaka sprinkled salt and black pepper on both sides of the mushroom-fed pork tenderloin to season it. Next, Yuhaka took out the "three-piece set that would make the neighbor's kids drool" and put it on the table, which is the so-called flour, egg liquid, and breadcrumbs.

Yuhaka used chopsticks to pick up the mushroom and pork tenderloin, then coated it with a thick layer of flour, egg wash, and breadcrumbs. After preparing the oil in the fryer and heating it to 7% of its maximum temperature, Yuhaka placed the thickly coated mushroom and pork tenderloin into the fryer, and immediately the frying sound of "sizzling" filled the air.

"OwO I want some~"

After wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth, Yuhaka took the mushroom and pork tenderloin that had been fried in the oil until it was set and set it aside to drain the oil. Then he put the mushroom and pork tenderloin back into the oil and fried it until it was golden brown. That's how you make fried pork cutlets.

After blotting off the excess oil from the fried pork cutlet with paper towels, Yuhaka cut the still-hot pork cutlet into pieces. Once the curry was cooked, Yuhaka placed the rice that had been cooked in the rice cooker into a plate, then poured the cooked curry into the plate, and finally placed the cut fried pork cutlet on top. In this way, a curry pork cutlet rice dish is ready.

..................

"Curry pork chop rice, done. Please enjoy, Mishi."

Yuhaka placed the prepared curry pork chop rice in front of Mishiore, who looked at the curry pork chop rice in front of her with slightly wide eyes and said:

"It's so beautiful, and it smells amazing. Is this cuisine from another world?"

Yuhaka hesitated for a moment before nodding at Mishiore's question, since he didn't know whether the curry pork cutlet rice was considered a dish from another world.

Then Misiore picked up a fork and spoon from the side and lifted the fried pork chop dipped in sweet curry into the air. The sweet curry sauce, crispy fried coating, and savory meat juices emanating from the pork made Misiore squint her eyes and unconsciously raise the corners of her mouth. She felt as if she was immersed in the wonderful taste of crispiness and juiciness.

Chapter 183 [Hunting in the Snowfield]

"Thank you for your hospitality, Yoyo-chan. The curry pork chop rice was delicious today!"

Then, as if remembering something, Mishiore took out the currency from Freomold's wallet and handed it to Yuhaka, saying:

"This is the cost of the meal."

Seeing that Mishiore had taken the pentagonal coin from Mishiore's hand, examined it for a few moments, and then put it back, Yuhaka said:

"The fee is too much."

Hearing Yuhaka's words, Mishiore was taken aback. After all, she had tasted the spices in Yuhaka's curry pork cutlet rice, and spices were very expensive seasonings in their region. Yuhaka's offer of so much surprised her. (This is a secondary setting for the Fromold region, where spices are rare seasonings.)

"Huh?! Did I give you too much?!"

Yuhaka nodded at the surprised Mishiore and said:

"Hmm, that's too much. I don't need that much money."

"But shouldn't spices be very expensive?"

Hearing Mishiore's words, Yuhaka tilted his head with a puzzled expression. Yuhaka didn't need to spend too much money to buy spices in the Monster Hunter game world, Terra, or the town of Os in the Giant Cave. Mishiore's words puzzled Yuhaka and made him wonder if Mishiore didn't have any spices or other seasonings.

If that's the case, then the people in that world are truly pitiful.

"Spices are inexpensive."

As he said this, Yuhaka tiptoed and patted Mishiore to comfort her. Mishiore, who was being patted on the head, had an "OvO?" expression on her face. Although she didn't know why Yuhaka was suddenly patting her head, Mishiore felt quite comfortable and just let out a silly "Ehehehe" laugh.

After discussions between Yuhaka and Mishiore, Yuhaka decided to use the price of precious metals on Earth to calculate the price and collect a certain amount of currency from Fromold. The currency in Fromold is different from the round coins on Earth; it is hexagonal and rectangular in shape.

After Mishiore said goodbye to Yuhaka, she invited him to visit the Republic of Biscotti next time.

After Mishiore left the Meru Cat Restaurant, she discovered that the door to the restaurant had disappeared. Mishiore was a little puzzled by this, but perhaps it was something like a crest technique?

Mishiore had another question: how did that door end up in her room? And she seemed to have forgotten to ask Yuuyu?!

.................

After Misiore left, Yuhaka tidied up the dishes and washed them before going back to sleep with Kanna.

As time passed (actually, only a few days had passed), Kanna wondered why she needed to go to school. So, Yuhaka took Kanna to Kobayashi to ask about school-related matters, since Yuhaka himself wasn't quite sure what was needed for school.

After some effort, Yuhaka managed to prepare everything Kanna needed for school, including her documents. With Thor's omnipotent magic (not really), many things could be easily and quickly resolved.

Well... actually, Zelus could handle these things herself, but since someone else did those things for her, Zelus was too lazy to do them herself. She'd rather slack off for as long as possible.

After Kanna started school, she met a human cub named Riko Saikawa. Although she didn't know why... Yuhaka always felt that the human cub named Riko Saikawa was strange. Yuhaka felt that the human cub was a bit like a pervert.

Well... although something felt off, he didn't seem like a bad guy, so Yuhaka didn't dwell on it too much.

In the world of Monster Hunter—

In his third form, Ehaka searched for the Popo herds on the frozen plains further away from Snow Mountain Village. Although there were many Popo herds near Snow Mountain Village, there were quite a few hunters hunting in that area, making it difficult for Ehaka to make a move.

Furthermore, Yuhaka has heard that monsters living in the wild, further away from human settlements, not only have better meat, but some monster ingredients are only available at higher ranks.
