After that, I called Madeleine over to help me think of some delicacies to serve at the hot spring resort. Madeleine was from a well-off family and she had tried countless delicious foods since she was young. She was the perfect person to consult about this.

“A specialty food for the resort?”

“Yes,” I said. “I want something that everyone—be it noble or commoner, man or woman, young or old—can enjoy.”

“Hmm... That’s a difficult request...”

Perhaps I was being too broad. I needed to narrow down my criteria.

“Millefie, have you decided on what kind of hot spring resort you want it to be?” Madeleine asked.

“What kind...? I’ve been so focused on how to get the digging started for the hot springs that... Well, I’d like to have a building as big as the palace, with a big open space and a large bath...I think.”

“I worry that a resort like that would only attract a small number of people,” Madeleine said.

“Really?”

“Millefie, have you been to the public bath at the capital?”

“I haven’t,” I told her.

“Have you ever wanted to go?”

“I never had a reason to. I mean, I already have a bath—oh!” I then realized what Madeleine was getting at.

“I believe that we would have to make two resorts—one for the general public, and one for nobles,” she said. “We would have to serve delicacies that would cater to both.”

“Madeleine, you’re a genius!” I exclaimed.

Madeleine flushed at my compliment. “Let’s decide on what delicacies to serve the commoners first,” she said.

“All right.” I signaled to Parfeil, and she brought some snow mushrooms and toasted sandwiches to our table.

“What are these?” Madeleine asked.

“These are the candidates we’ve found here in Diamant.”

My white squirrels had picked the snow mushrooms, which had once again been grilled and covered with oyster sauce. The sandwiches were also the same as the last time I’d had them—simple ones made with ham and cheese.

Madeleine popped a mushroom into her mouth and followed it up with a bite of the toasted sandwich. “My, these are both delicious!” she exclaimed.

Though Madeleine praised the taste of the snow mushrooms, she found them difficult to eat as the sauce was drippy. The sandwiches were also tasty, but they lacked the impact to be called a “delicacy.”

“I’m sorry. I know you thought long and hard about these options,” she said.

“No, it’s all right. I agree with both of your points.”

I considered skewering the mushrooms onto sticks, but the sauce would still drip the visitors’ clothes and the floors of the resort. I had no rebuttal for the sandwiches. The ingredients were all items that people had on hand. Anyone would be able to make the same thing at home.

The squirrels raised some nuts that they had picked up, gesturing as if they were suggesting we make them into a sandwich too. Well, at least they’re trying to help.

“Make the mushrooms easier to eat, and give the sandwiches some more flair... Oh! What if we take the mushrooms and sauce and put that into a sandwich?”

“Millefie, that’s brilliant! That would kill two birds with one stone!” Madeleine exclaimed.
