Following Kayo Kirishima's advance, Takeshita Kusaokei walked into the high-end French Western restaurant called Champs-Élysées. The overall decoration style does not reveal a strong French national atmosphere, but is completely modern. Led by a blonde and blue-eyed foreign waitress, they sat down face-to-face in a corner that was not near the window, after all, without making a reservation in advance.

Kayo Kirishima, who sat down, opened the book of cookbooks placed in front of him, and suddenly became uncomfortable. The recipe is not in Japanese, but in French. I couldn't understand it at all, so I couldn't help but show a worried expression on my face. It was the first time she walked into such a high-end place, and she was embarrassed to ask the waitress standing next to her, after all, she was more or less embarrassed. So, he raised his head and looked at Takeshita Kusaoke, who was sitting opposite.

Originally proficient in Chinese, Japanese and English, Takeshita Kusashi has a talent for languages. He and Chie Sakai, who was proficient in French and translated all of his published works, had been working together for a long time, and had known each other for a long time, and under the influence of them, he had studied this foreign language on his own, and gradually became able to communicate with her in French without barriers.

Takeshita grass mustard, which has been to many more upscale places than here, is completely calm. Before he even had time to look through the recipe, he felt that there were only a few ingredients to eat, foie gras, truffles, French snails, steak, caviar, blood duck and lobster. Leaning back on the back of the chair, he saw the meaning of needing help from Kirishima Kayo's eyes, so he sat up straight, did not pick up the recipe, and opened the first page of the table with his right hand to see that it was all in French.

Takeshita Kusaoke, who directly blurted out the word "pretending to be forced" in Chinese, immediately attracted the attention of Kirishima Yoshiyo and the waitress. After all, they didn't know what he was talking about. Instead of turning the recipe backwards, he returned to leaning back in his chair with his back in anticipation of Japanese.

Takeshita Kussake, who didn't order directly in French, clearly felt that the store was blindly pretending. It's not the first time I've eaten French cuisine in China. Even if you go to the top French restaurant in Shibuya, you won't see a menu in French, but there is a menu in Japanese that you can understand at a glance.

"I don't understand what your recipe says. Please give us a full Japanese cookbook. "I used a mouthful of Takeshita grass mustard that is fluent in French. He said very calmly.

Last time, I couldn't tell that he blurted out that it was a waitress in Chinese, but I heard that the other party spoke French. This time it was replaced by a dry glare, after all, she was not French, and she didn't know French, but a Russian who came here to work and studied in Japan. The waitress, who had to open her mouth, said in Japanese with a thick Russian accent: "I'm sorry, I'm not French, I really don't understand what you're talking about." Can you speak Japanese? Kayo Kirishima was surprised, but he really didn't expect the other party to be able to speak Japanese. Since I can speak Japanese. So why give them the Kanwen recipe?

Takeshita Kusaoke, who deliberately did not speak Japanese, spread his hands, shook his head, and continued to say in French: "Don't you like to pretend to be forced here? Then I will meet your requirements for guests, and I will pretend to be forced. Do you think I'm pretending to be good? ”

The waitress, who couldn't understand what he said at all, had no choice but to learn Japanese etiquette and bow to him, and said in English: "Wait, please." After that, she said. I quickly turned around and went to find the store manager who knew French.

After a while, he led the waitress. The manager who hurried to the table of Takeshita Kusaokei and Kirishima Kayo in three steps and two steps was not French, but an authentic Japanese. Speaking French very ordinarily, he said unusually politely: "I am the manager of the Champs-Elysees." It is up to me to serve you. Today, the black truffles have just been flown in from France to Japan, and they are very fresh. Do you need to taste it? Then there's our signature dish, the French baked snails. It's also a great job. Do you need a tasting for two guests? ”

"Their black truffles were flown in from France only today, and their signature dish is the French baked snails. Why don't you order what you want to eat? Leaning forward, his elbows resting on the table, he thought to himself, what a tall French fine dining restaurant. It's just such a pretense and a false appearance.,On the other hand, it's changed to Kirishima Kayodo in Japanese.。

Kayo Kirishima, who had a smile on his face, was relieved in his heart. I thought I would be embarrassed, regretting that I didn't collect all the information, but I didn't expect the recipe used here to be in French. However, she never expected that she would earn enough face at once.

"I don't understand, you call the shots!" Kayo Kirishima, who finally had the courage to say that he didn't understand French cuisine, fully showed his great trust in Takeshita Kusake.

I can't remember how many times I've eaten French food, and I don't need to remember such trivial things. What's more, he is still with the Czech writer Milan who settled in France? Kundera had a sumptuous French dinner together. With his own experience of eating French cuisine with Kitagawa mother and daughter and Sakai Chie, he knew which dishes were most popular among women, and once again deliberately did not speak Japanese, but ordered in French.

obviously felt that this was the store manager who was deliberately sarcastic by the other party, and he couldn't help but have some red faces. Listening carefully and remembering clearly, he not only saw that the other party's French was much better than his own, but also saw that he was very good at French cuisine. After Takeshita finished speaking, the manager bowed deeply to each of the two noble guests at 90 degrees and apologized, "I'm sorry." On behalf of our store, I apologize to you, and I hope you don't mind the previous unpleasantness. It is an honor for us to welcome such an honored guest as you. I hope that the two of you will be able to move to the table reserved for our VIP guests. ”

I feel that this place is quite good, very clean, and it is especially not easy to be noticed and disturbed, but I really don't think there is anything wrong with the corners. On the contrary, Kayo Kirishima, who doesn't think as much as he does, is afraid of being looked down upon. For the first time in my life, I felt the wonderful feeling of being treated with a high standard, so I naturally didn't let it go, but I must have fully enjoyed it: "Okay." (To be continued.) )
