"Let's wait. Lunch is ready!"
When my adventurer's equipment was unveiled and she was dressed as usual, in the living room Flora was just dropping the pot from the fire.
"I'll bring the pot, Flora asks for tableware and a pot."
"Ah, yes. Thank you ... you've changed clothes already."
Flora looks a little disappointed while looking at me.
Until you really have lunch, you can't relax slowly if you are wearing armor.
That said, switching the flora is fast, and when I put on my gloves and lift the pot, it immediately puts the pot on the table.
The pot smells like savory meat. This strong scent may have been from boar meat. It was mixed with seasonings and the like, and the scent of the appetizing soup was leaking out.
Just smelling the scent makes me hungry.
That was the same for Elgis, with a really soft look,
"It smells good. Is it a boar pot?"
"Yes, Aldo-san got some good ones."
"Well, it's Lauren who did the processing though."
I just hunted and prepared. Loren's skill is what made it so much more.
"No, even if the processing is good, if the first processing is poor, it does not smell so good. It is proof that Aldo's skill as a hunter is good."
"That's right. I was able to add a natural flavor without misleading the taste."
"Since Aldo came to the village, he has been able to eat delicious meat in a stable manner. Everyone in the village is very pleased. Can I have more confidence in myself?"
That said, Elgis, Flora and Fiona praise without doubting my skills. I was happy to see that I was helping this village.
"Thank you"
I served stir-fried wild vegetables and bread in the kitchen to hide the shyness.
The meal is ready when Flora carries the dishes and other dishes.
"This is the end of the preparation"
"Well, let's open the pot."
Put on gloves and take off the lid of the big pot just in case.
Then, the hot air and aroma filled inside spread, and on the soup there are many ingredients such as wild boar meat, shiitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, lots of mushrooms, green onions, cabbage, etc. I was floating.
"Oh, this looks delicious!"
"If you like, let's share?"
"Then, let's just say something."
"Then, I'll put my mother in."
"Yes, please, please."
Today Elgis and Fiona are our customers. We'll put in the first cup.
"Mr. Elgis, do you have any preference for ingredients?"
"So, please give me a lot of mushrooms. I like mushrooms."
During this season, the mushrooms are very fragrant and taste well. It's no surprise that Elgis wants a mushroom.
If you use a ladle and add more ingredients and mushrooms, give them to Elgis.
Flora does not ask her if she knows her mother's preference, and she asks Ssusu.
"I know my mother's taste with my daughter."
"Yes, mom looks like this and likes meat, so I'm glad to put meat in such a case."
"Hey, Flora. Stop saying that."
I was a bit embarrassed to be told that I like meat in front of me, Fiona says a bit shy.
It is surprising that Fiona has a thin line.
"In the future, we will have more opportunities to eat together. Aldo-san, there is no loss."
"Then we will bring more meat in the future."
"It's good Fiona. You can eat a lot of your favorite meat."
"Because everyone is already bullying me"
When we say with a mischievous smile, Fiona inflates his cheeks like a stubborn and turns away.
At that we laugh.
Even so, the face when I was relentless is just like Flora. After all Fiona and Flora are parents.
With that in mind, Flora and I put my ingredients on the plate.
"Let's get it."
"here you are"
Signaling the exchange of Flora with Mr. Elgis, I immediately work on the ingredients that were sorted out.
First of all, this big and fat boar meat. Fold the big meat that hangs on the fork and I just throw it into my mouth.
When you chew it, overwhelming juicy juice gushes in your mouth.
The texture is like a pig, but the taste is a bit like cow. Anyway, boar meat has a strong taste of meat. The more you chew, the more the flavor of the meat and the taste of the soup come out together, so there is nothing other than delicious.
"The boar meat is delicious"
"Yes, there is almost no smell and the taste is solid."
"It's bigger than anything and it's responsive."
"I'm glad I can eat big meat since Aldo became a hunter."
Fiona, who loves meat, has a big smile.
He no longer seems to be shy about meat lovers.
If you are ashamed of such a thing, you will be tampered with more.
The next thing I ate is wild boar meat. First, I eat yellow and flat oyster mushrooms.
Yeah, it is interesting because it has a mushroom-specific crunchy texture, although it is softened by being boiled. The aroma and taste are solid, and it's nice to be able to eat it all year round.
Next, it's a white, rounded egg.
When you put it in your mouth, a rounded Casa comes in slimy.
The texture is somewhat crisp, as Kyle said. Is it fiber? But the crunchy chewy texture and firm taste are not bad. Rather, it is delicious.
"Egg bamboo is an interesting taste"
“Yes.
Indeed, this taste is definitely a good punch, so I understand Flora's words. It is a texture that seems to become a habit to eat somehow.
"Oh, it's delicious. A pot with lots of mushrooms is great."
Elgis seems to really like mushrooms and eats pacpaku and mushrooms.
"The taste of meat and vegetables and mushrooms are good."
"Yes, in the coming season, hot pot dishes will be even more delicious."
Fiona and Elgis release their impressions as if breathing out.
Now the season has fallen and it is getting cooler. The hot pot dishes will become even more delicious as we cool down and go to winter.
After eating all the ingredients, I slowly soup.
It is probably because of the mushrooms that this rich aroma and solid umami melt in. It has a very gentle taste and I want to keep drinking it.
And above all warm. That would be a different kind of satisfaction than the temperature of the soup. My lover Flora and my parents Elgis and Fiona.
Someone who accepted my past and called her family. I guess that the gentle atmosphere of these three people and the gentle conversation have filled me no more.
"Mr. Aldo, do you want a replacement?"
"Yeah, please"
◆
"Mr. Aldo, Flora. Can I talk a bit important?"
Elgis suddenly cut out after all four had finished lunch and were drinking on the sofa while drinking tea after eating.
When we sensed that there was a serious atmosphere, we placed a tea cup on the table to correct the habitation.
"In the negotiations between Mr. Ardo and the Kingdom of Avalonia, we need to talk to Helmut, a nobleman who governs the area around Nordende before that."
That's true. This North Ende is a territory of the Kingdom of Silphid. When negotiators from other countries come, they must talk to the nobles who rule the area, including Nordende.
Surely Helmut was a nobleman who ruled the villages of various sizes, including Nordende, and the neighboring town. Especially since I hadn't had the chance to see it until now, I just missed it.
"I'm sorry. I was just thinking about facing the kingdom and I forgot ... and I was doing half-hearted things and creating friction."
Also. Isn't this the same as in the past when we jumped out halfway without deciding on a kingdom? Protect the flora
I swore that
If you are angry with your disappointment, your palm will suddenly overlap with your warm hand.
"No, I can't help it. Aldo thought about the kingdom and prepared for the marriage at the Harvest Festival. Humans can't do everything perfectly."
"It's my family that supports that kind of thing. Flora will also be involved in the future, so if you have any problems, please feel free to contact us as well as yourself."
Elgis and Fiona are looking straight at me.
That's it. I'm not alone now.
There are Elgis, Fiona, and Flora.
"I'm sorry Flora. I told you to consult anything."
"That's right, Aldo-san is thinking alone, but I'll show you more places I can rely on."
Flora says such a healthy thing when I am bad.
My lover is really made. I don't know.
I'm already saying that Flora can be trusted for me. Rather, I have to have a flora today.
That's why we have to take care of such a flora and do our best to live together.
"So, should I go and talk to Helmut about that earlier?"
"No, it's a harvest festival soon, so I'll report it in a letter. During the harvest season, it's a rule to send a letter of invitation to the lord and the situation of the village."
Is that so. It seems better to be able to make a promise naturally than to go to the house of the noble.
"And what about Helmut's reaction?"
"They came earlier and came to see the harvest festival, and he said he wanted to talk directly at that time."
I see, Ergis was a little late.
In other words, do you want to talk to me at the harvest festival while watching Nordende?
The harvest festival is fluttering, but it is also convenient for the other party, which is probably good.
"Okay, so we'll talk again during the harvest festival."
"Yes, I'll be the next village mayor as well as Aldred, the dragon killer.
That's right. Do we have to greet not only Aldret but also the next head of the village, Aldo?
I was trying to talk with Helmut, but I felt a little heavy.
◆
"I'll be sorry soon."
He talked about Helmut, and after a while Elgis and Fiona said.
Fiona, who was sitting next to her, stood up as if she knew it, and turned to Flora.
"I'm glad Flora was doing well. I'll do my best without patience."
"Yes, mom"
Fiona gently strokes Flora's head. The expression was a real reminder that she loved her daughter, and she made her parents feel cute no matter how big the child was.
"Thank you Aldo, Flora."
"Yes, make Flora happy"
In response, Flora dyed her face red, shy and smelly, and Fiona and Elgis nodded satisfactorily.
"... I wouldn't worry if I could have a grandchild later."
"Yes, I want to have my grandson as soon as possible."
"……I will do my best"
In response to Fiona and Elgis, Flora responded thinly, dyeing her face and ears red.
