My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

Claire wanted the konjac

---

“Hmm…the texture is interesting…”

“Yes. It is springy…but not tough. There is not much taste though.”

“I like it. I think it is quite delicious.”

“Wuf…”

“Kyau…”

“Mama and Sherry hate it. But I think it’s good, papa.”

“I see. So Liza and Tilura like it then.”

As Mr. Kanat had placed some on a plate, everyone tasted it.

Sebastian and Claire enjoyed the texture mostly, while Liza and Tilura liked the taste as well.

Ms. Lyra and Phillip also tried it.

“Kuun…”

“Fine, fine. I’ll give you some sausages later. Just wait, alright?”

“Wuff!”

“Kyau!”

“Indeed… Mr. Kanat?”

“Ye-yes. What is it, Lady Claire!”

After eating the konjac, Claire seemed to have come to a decision, and so she addressed Mr. Kanat.

He immediately looked tense.

“For how long can this be stored?”

“Ye-yes… As this has all been cooked once, it will only be good for a few days. If it is before being cooked, it should last several weeks, as long as you keep it in freshwater.”

“That is longer than expected. And do you have any of the raw ones with you now?”

“Yes. I brought it, in case the first batch sells out. It is over there…”

“So you have five barrels…”

Mr. Kanat pointed to the back of his stall.

Well, that was more than I expected.

“Mr. Kanat, why did you bring so much… What were you going to do if no one bought it?”

“Well, if that happened, I suppose you could eat it.”

“As I said, I can only eat so much…”

So it doesn’t keep as long after being boiled… And including the one in the front, he had two barrels that were boiled.

But there are also a lot packed in one, so even multiple people would have trouble eating it in a few days.

Since the uncooked ones lasted longer, I suppose he could have just taken them back to the village if they didn’t sell.

“So, Mr. Kanat. I will buy one of the cooked barrels, and all of the uncooked barrels.”

“Lady Claire!?”

“What?”

Claire suddenly asked to buy almost all of his konjac.

“Why are you so surprised, Sebastian? And you too, Mr. Kanat.”

“Lady Claire, six barrels… Surely that is too much…”

“Is it? It can be kept for a long time. Besides, if everyone at the house at it, then we should be able to finish it before it spoils.”

“Perhaps, but…”

“Wuff…”

“Kyau…”

True, if everyone ate it every day, then we could likely finish six barrels… But surely this was too much for a first purchase?

I understood how Sebastian felt.

Leo and Sherry were imagining a future of having to eat it every day, and both barked in despair.

“Of course, I will be eating it as well. Mr. Takumi said you have to continue to eat it, after all.”

It had been some time since I last heard Claire say something that would only come out of the mouth of a rich and pampered daughter… The last time was at a tailor.

Regardless, the average commoner would not be able to buy so much food at once on a whim.

“Besides, I am quite sure the servants will want to eat it as well. Isn’t that right, Lyra?”

“Yes, Lady Claire. Maybe not Sebastian…but some of the women… Or at least, a few maids might…”
