It’s now been 7 days since the Goblin subjugation

It’s late at night, and we’re in the inn’s kitchen .

As promised to Fran, I’m here to cook her some food . Since the sight of a lightly floating sword cooking would certainly cause a commotion, Fran is here with me too .

The cooks said “If it’s late at night after the Dining Room is closed, then there’s no problem”, so we’ve properly received permission . With this, I’ll give my all at cooking!

『Chan Chan Chara Chachacharara~[M1]』

「Chanchan?」

『Chanchara, Chan Chan Chan~』

「?」

『Welcome! It’s time for Otherworldly Cooking!』

「Oh~~?」

Not understanding the meaning of my words yet still guessing the mood, Fran started clapping .

『The first meal today is… This!』

「Meat?」

『Correct! Prepared for you today is minced meat from Rock Bison and Crash Boar: 30㎏ of each!』

Moreover, Rune Tulip bulbs that resemble onions, Golden Chicken eggs, breadcrumbs, and all sorts of spices were also prepared .

『Then, knead this Fran . 』

「Nn . 」

『You should make use of what you have, right?』

「With this: able to eat Teacher’s cooking every day . 」

『Considering your Titles, you should also be able to make good dishes . 』

「Can’t make what I don’t know . 」

『Ah, that’s right after all . 』

What Fran wants to eat is Earth’s cooking, and no one but me can make that . Even if similar cooking is possible, in the end the degree of refinement would end up different .

So, with that I went on to chop the Rune Tulip bulbs . For the sake of cutting them into fine pieces, I’ve decided to use Aura・Blade .

So far, I had used myself after taking a thorough wash through boiling and purification magic, but… Still, I had used Demonic Poison Fang for slaying Demonic Beasts earlier, so a bit of anxiety still remains . Until now Fran’s shown no sign of bad conditions, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s safe .

The finely chopped Rune Tulips were carefully stir-fried in the frying pan .

『Mix together the minced meats, then make an onion-shaped ball . After that, add spices and keep on mixing . 』

「Leave it to me . 」

I also mixed the remaining minced meat with Telekinesis . When that was completed, 60㎏ worth of special-hamburger base was completed .

Honestly, I had a feeling that I went overboard, but… When it’s put into Dimensional Storage it won’t go bad, so it’s fine .

『Now let’s start grilling the hamburgers . 』

「Nn . 」

Even using an enormous oven with Magic to shorten the process, it couldn’t be done in one go .

『In the meantime, the next step is to cut up all of these vegetable-like ingredients and put them into a stew . 』

「Nn . 」

『Then, I’ll also begin cutting . 』

The ingredients besides Demonic Beast flesh were arranged plentifully .

Affected by the ambiance of the town market, I now realize that I may had gotten a bit carried away . After following my instincts, I got completely swept up in buying ingredients… A large earthenware pot of Miso and Soy Sauce alongside a giant bag of spices were also bought . After that, several super-extra-large sized pots got purchased .

Because of that, another 100,000Gorudo ended up being used . Ha… Hahaha…

— No, it was for the sake of making delicious meals for Fran, so it was necessary!

『Now we add some water… And next, we’ll throw in the spices . 』

I added heat with Magic while using Telekinesis and Magic to shred the vegetables like a mixer . When finished, it was a specially-made demi-glace . It smelt good, to say the least .

After that, tomato sauce, consomme soup, chicken bouillon and so forth were also made . At this point I’ve started instructing Fran on the ways to use the ingredients .

「Guro, guro . 」

『Mhm . Keep stirring, just like that . 』

Around the time the third batch of hamburgers were cooked, all the soup and sauces were completed .

Good, good . If there are matching seasonings at the market, then I’m able to make any cuisine!

I cover the hamburgers in demi-glace sauce and toss them into Dimensional Storage one after another . The plan is to have them available regardless of the time and place while still steaming hot .

In the same way, tomato juice and japanese ponzu flavored ones were made . Tyrant Tiger Stew, Deep Fried Blast Turtle, Dopple Snake Kabayaki, Fried Stone Spider, Stewed Rock Bison Tongue, Ginger Air-grilled Crash Boar, Sausages,Bacon, Jerky, Meat Miso and other such dishes were completed as well .

『Alright . The meat dishes are almost finished . 』

「Nn!」

Before long, dawn broke . We’ll end here today and continue tomorrow .

◇◆◇

And so, we’re once again in the kitchen .

Today we’ll be doing fish-based cooking . — Well, even if I say that, I don’t have any fish ingredients other than the Madness Fish meat . I think I’ll turn it into

Nitsuke, Shioyaki and Tempura .

I also considered making some into Meunière, but as expected a Japanese should eat Japanese cuisine! Er… Not that I’d be eating it, of course .

Ah, by the way, about the poisonous swamp: it seems that our actions turned into some sort of ghost story about a suddenly-vanishing poisonous swamp . Ms . Nell knew that we did something, but it seems that she wasn’t the type of person who would spread that information to other Adventurers . Maybe we overdid it…

Oops, while thinking the Nitsuke finished . It’s got a good color to it .

Well, that’s about all for the main cooking, but we’re not fished yet .

Next are the side dishes . Let’s start off with soups . We’ll be re-using the soup-like things made yesterday, but this time we’ll fine-tune them with salt and pepper as well as throw in some other ingredients . A Consomme Soup with Sausages… Wouldn’t that be delicious?

Furthermore, making use of the Madness Fish bones, the chinese Fish Dashi Soupwas also completed .

Of course, I didn’t forget about Salad and Stir-Fried Vegetables either . The nutritional balance has to be enforced with an iron grip with Fran in her growth period . Related to that, her current state is quite worrying . Lately she’s gotten somewhat better-rounded, but compared to the other kids in town she still looks feeble . Furthermore, it feels like her height is little short… Meals are important, no matter what .

「Nn?」

『No, it’s nothing . Next are the staple foods . 』

Somehow, I had made light of Aressa’s market, as today I found myself surprised that even Rice was sold there . In this area, the Northern and Southern regions appear to meet, so Rice and Wheat-based items are both eaten .

The Rice is cooking quietly, in several earthenware pots we bought for its sake .

Of course, flour is also being made use of . Udon, Bread, Naan and Okonomiyaki, all such carbohydrate-parade foods were around . Bread could be found in the standard baguette type, but there were also the rectangular type that Japanese people love .

We also made Chinese Noodles, since Lye Water was also at the market .

I don’t think that any mistakes were made when kneading the noodles, since the process of making them went well because of the strange water . And so, Ramen,Yakisoba, and more could be made .

Now, since we have rice and Naan… That has to be made .

『Well then, next I was thinking of making a special dish . 』

「Special?」

Hey, hey, your expectations are a bit too high if your eyes are gleaming like that… Well, I guess I’ll just need to do by best, huh?

「What is it?」

『It’s a special-hyper-ultra dish! Its name is ―― Curry!

「Kuuree? What is it?」

『Fufufufu . Well, you’ll see . 』

Curry was my favorite food back on Earth . Here, I don’t eat — not even a single sign of appetite has shown up thus far . But the feeling of wanting Fran to eat delicious food is there instead . Therefore: Curry needs to be made . We can’t go on without it .

『Break the spices like this . 』

「Beautiful . 」

『It’s for the sake of making a delicious curry . 』

「Cook it?」

『Right . While blending it, you keep on cooking . 』

「Hmmm . 」

One hour later, 3 business sized pots filled to the brim with curry sit in front of us .

In the beginning, we finished with just a normal sized pot . Spices are expensive, after all .

However, after Fran taste tested the first batch, she kept on eating it at a dreadful pace . In the blink of an eye, we ran out . Afterwards, upon Fran’s continuous demands, all of the remaining spices were put towards making curry in vast amounts .

Sweet, mild, and scathing flavors were made, and the vegetables and meat were altered to fit . Even if I say so myself, they’re masterpieces . If we took them to Japan, I have absolute confidence that it would sell .

「I was born to meet this dish . 」

『You like it that much?!』

「Thanks Teacher . 」

『That feels like the most emotion-loaded “Thanks” I’ve received up until now…』

I have to make sure that Fran doesn’t eat only Curry from now on…

Counting all the dishes made in these 2 days, ~2000 portions should have been made . In other words, we’ve made over 1 year’s worth of food . However, contrary to her appearance Fran is a big eater, so the chances that it’ll disappear sooner than that is quite high .

Well, with this there won’t be any concerns about meals for a while at least .

「For now: second serving of curry . 」

『But you just ate…』

「Please . 」

『… It can’t be helped . Only one more serving, alright?』

「Nn!」

Fran exercises properly, so just one more shouldn’t hurt… Right?
