Chapter 67 Captivating Cuisine

This was the Kitchen of Trage Castle. While Touya and the others were resting after training in the dungeon, Tsubaki-sama gave us permission, and Efil and I found the time and go in and out here. One of the purposes was to make Efil learn Trage's cuisine, and then to measure the exchange with Tsubaki-sama.

"Even so, Efil's food is really delicious. Now, the chef in my castle is on the side of being taught. Kelvin, why don't you let Efil become my maid? And I hope that everyone could serve Trage as Lords! We could use that you can defeat the evil dragon."

"I have refused it many times, Tsubaki sama. Efil is an important companion of mine. Besides, I love freedom, and I told you so when we first met."

At first, I came here only to learn about cooking, but after a few times, Efil's cooking came to Tsubaki's interest. Probably because the castle soldiers and maids served the finished dishes. Efil's cuisine grew until it was S-cla.s.s cooking skills, now far surpa.s.ses that of the chef at Trage Castle. Recently, I was able to adjust the taste, but before that, it was so delicious that I cried after a bite. I wonder if Tsubaki heard somewhere about such a transcendental dish. The day after she came to the kitchen, she started recruiting Efil. Apparently, the j.a.panese heart for gastronomy has been handed down to this country.

By the way, Efil is instructing the people of the kitchen. The time to learn cooking is now time for Efil to teach the chefs. it's normal for there to be rebellious people, but it seems that everyone is grabbed by Efil's pretty appearance, polite teaching att.i.tude, and overwhelming cooking power. Some of them have their cheeks slightly dyed. They were no longer just fans.

"Mu, isn't it? No, No, I was aware that it was impossible. I'm really sorry."

"Don't look like that. You can come every day as long as we stay."

“Is it true? It's a promise!”

"Yes, it's a promise."
At the time of the audience, Tsubaki-sama had an unusual atmosphere. But during normal times she felt like a suitable girl of her age. She could distinguish between working and private stuff. Now she's just like a friend. I had been told “you can just call me by my first name. It isn't necessary to pay much reverence.” There are other eyes, so no matter how close you are, but a minimum courtesy of different positions is necessary for everything. This is just a big deal.

"I said that, but it's about time to return to Perth."

"Why…the hero, and the Lord is so abrupt."

"I can't leave for a long time. Recently, dangerous monsters appeared in Perth."

Although they were more vigilant, only the C-cla.s.s adventurers belong to the adventurer guild of Perth. No matter how far I went out with Rio's approval, there are Angie, Claire, Urd, and all the adventurers in the city. I haven't heard from Melfina since then, and I'm worried if I don't come back soon.

"Perth is a symbol of peace in the four countries as the name of the quiet city. It is encouraging it is protected by Kelvin.

"I will do my best to meet Tsubaki sama's wishes."

"Yeah. If you change your mind, you should always knock the gate of Trage."

I don't feel like it now, but it's a harvest that I've been able to have a close relations.h.i.+p with the king of a country. In his position, Tsubaki-sama doesn't have many opportunities to talk to someone of the same age. I want to continue to go on as good friends.

“Tsubaki-sama, I tried to make a prototype of j.a.panese sweets, can you give me your opinion?”

"Well, Efil's new sweets!? I'll eat, eat by all means!

"Tsubaki-sama, in front of the va.s.sals …"

But this king's private life is too loose.

“I'm back!”

“I'm back just now!”

After the meeting with Tsubaki-sama, we return to the inn where we stayed. It seems that Gerard is still absent, but Sara has already returned to the room.

"Oh, welcome back. Did you go to the castle today?"

"Ay, what was Sara doing?"

“I was fis.h.i.+ng with all my might! I've been catching and releasing what I don't need, as I was told.”

“Oh, I see …”

As I promised the other day, I taught Sara to fish in the meantime, but she also showed a strange talent here. The location of the prey is instantly grasped because she is rich in sensing skills. With the guidance of precise sword judgment and the strength that could not be thought of from her thin arms, she showed off an unusual and powerful fis.h.i.+ng skill. And without taking fis.h.i.+ng skills. Now she has become famous in Tragi as a mystery beauty Fis.h.i.+ng Master.

"Today's opponent was quite strong. Was it about 3 meters?"

Isn't it in the bluefin tuna level? What are you fis.h.i.+ng on an over the count fis.h.i.+ng rod?

“Hahaha … That was good. I wanted to see it too.”

“Rest a.s.sured, I brought it back as the main dish for today's dinner!”

You decided that you needed it …

“…Who will handle it?”

"Mochi, Efil, I put it in the kitchen."

Putting the big fish in the Inn's kitchen is also annoying. As expected, tunlevel dismantling is difficult even for Efil …

“I've seen it. It's also good to boil it in sas.h.i.+mi and beat it. I will handle it now. Master, Do you have any requests?”

"Oh, no. It's up to Efil."

“I understand. I will put more on my arms.”

It seems that I had mastered the way of handling while I was not aware of it. The chef at Castle Trage taught me that.

“My Liege, what is in the kitchen?! A new monster!?”

Gerard is back. And have you seen it?

"Excuse me, it's the fish I 've been fis.h.i.+ng for. It's a luxury item on the streets."

“Huh, is that true?”

"Yes. This is a high-cla.s.s fish called Groma living in the Dragon sea. It's worth the wait."
“It's okay. Maybe it's really delicious.”

I'm not going to rush anything anymore. Let's just get in touch.

“Oh, yes. We'll keep in touch with each other while we're all together. I think I'll go back to Perth in three days. Get ready to go home.”
