A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 193: The Return of Hilda.
"Mother. I'm home.
"We're home.
"Yes, yes, Hilda, you, welcome back.
The head chef's wife greeted him on the doorstep when he returned home.
"Didn't you coarsely resemble the Counts?
"... probably.
Hilda says with a bitter smile.
"We're back with the food.
I'll warm you up. Just wait.
The head chef is on his way to the kitchen.
"Did you have fun?
"Very much."
Mother and daughter sit at the table in a relaxing conversation.
"Hey, you listen to me.
Hilda, who went for a walk during the day, will bring Master Kitamizato home.
"Hmm? Yeah, I was there before that, too.
"Oh? Really?
Well, fine. So, bring me home.
All of a sudden Hilda says, 'I'm going to the Count's Mansion' abruptly.
"'Cause I thought we had to go fast.
Hilda replies pointing her mouth at her mother's stupidity.
"... without an explanation?
"Well, I don't know why at all.
Kitamizato was laughing too.
So, Kitamizato said, 'I want to cook from your daughter's idea, so can I borrow it?' Tell me.
I said 'use it as you please' in two replies.
"Haha, you did Takeo a lot of broken favors too.
"I've got to admit it for now! Think so.
Ha... so, it worked?
"Oh, Takeo let me have that dish and dessert for a souvenir today by saying I apologize for the inconvenience.
"Yes... you're disciplined, even though you're not annoying at all.
Master Kitamizato would have had a rough day.
"Huh? Really?
Hilda asks strangely.
"Ah... you?
"Hmm? Well, isn't it good because it's over?
"Yes, Hilda, Master Kitamizato was in his first place today.
"Huh? I didn't know that.
"Right, because we're not supposed to let the kids know.
The emergency bell rang in the morning. I told you, didn't I? 'Don't go to the castle gate today,' he said.
I heard the details after Hilda went out... and the city was raided by 400 goblins + orgasms.
"Huh? Not many??
Hilda is astonished.
"Master Kitamizato joined the battle as commander in the first place.
You've accomplished a great job of not taking a single victim.
And without bragging about it.
'As a result of all the best efforts made by the soldiers, work harder on them than praise me.
I'm just happy to see such a sight '.
Boulder, Alice, you shot the lady. With humility and discipline.
What was he like?
"Mm-hmm... what... was that sweet?
Hilda says troubledly.
"Really?"
"They didn't piss me off at all. Don't you have any anger for the others?
"Heh, the chef used to get angry when I was there.
The chef and his wife were married at work.
"Hehe, you've never seen Takeo angry. One way or another, you're complimenting everyone.
The chef answers as he looks at lasagna baking additions and subtractions.
"Heh, you're a good boss.
I've heard about Kitamizato from you, but you make some pretty bizarre dishes, don't you?
"Right.
Don't show them how to cook that we don't know easily.
And so far... it hasn't failed.
"That's amazing.
"Ah.
Takeo said, 'I'm just serving home-cooked food, though?' Cause what a thing to say... my cooks study crying every day.
"I'm glad I'm not here. It's a pride."
"Not at all.
"Hey, Mother. I wondered.
"What?"
"Today, at Takeo's behest, the sweet person was making the main sauce.
Simple instructions on how to cook that you have no idea... can you do that? You're in charge of sweets?
"Hehe, you wondered. That it is easy to cook outside the person in charge.
"Yeah."
"Right.
For example, you can say you're the main person in charge, but you can also do soup, and you can do salads. You can even do sweets.
Right now, it just so happens to be the main person in charge... and sometimes tomorrow I'm in charge of something different.
Every Elvis cook can cook a lot.
Today, each person in charge proposes a recipe to the chef if the chef tells him to use this ingredient.
Each person in charge will gather to discuss it before cooking.
So, tell everyone you want to cook something like this at that time.
Ultimately, it's a system where the head chef determines his dedication while looking at the balance.
"Heh."
Hilda listens with interest.
"So, if the cooking starts, each person in charge gets a head start and takes command...
Look, isn't the kitchen small? That's why we can't do it at the same time.
When making the main, the main person will stand on his head and use the salad person and the sweet person to make it.
Conversely, when making salads, the person in charge of salads becomes the head and uses the person in charge of main and sweets.
That's why everyone can make all sorts of things.
"It is. I thought you were the only one in charge.
"Well... I hear there are places like that.
Elvis, you don't do that at home.
Why don't we all try Kitamizato?
"Oh, it was definitely everyone.
"So, I'm going to give you an immediate rating... but aren't you dissatisfied with Kitamizato-sama's cooking?
"Everyone was surprised, wasn't they? Nodding, cheering, crying..."
"It's amazing how satisfied everyone is. I thought it was normal for anyone to complain.
"That's how complete Takeo's cooking is.
The chef comes to the table with a lasagna.
"Oh... looks delicious. You smell good with cheese.
"Oh, well, let's eat... eat first.
Me and Hilda will eat after we hear your thoughts.
"Really? Bye.
Take a sip first... carry lasagna to your mouth.
The chef and Hilda watched as they nibbled.
