Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Bringing ingredients and cookware, scales, etc. from the motherhouse, we all gather in the basement where magical lighting illuminates, and proceed to make miso and soy sauce.

"That sounds like an interesting experiment."

Elliot smiles when she sees it. When the basement was ready, I came to the house with Camilla, but when I said that I was experimenting with fermenting food, we were both likely to be interested, so I asked them to come to the basement. It is assumed that the story of the launch of the Knights of the Apocalypse, etc. is at the dinner table.

"An experiment in magic...... what is it?

Rovisa, Marion, and the Spirit Kings seem to be wondering what it would be like if I were to experiment in the basement.

No, are we all the same who might be interested? Michelle and Rasnote seem a little nervous because of the help with the magic experiment, and Mallane has a strange look...... hmmm, does Mallane feel in the mood to try harder to help than nervous?

"It's the same as planting alcohol. Because magic-free processes are similar to normal cooking."

With that said, the tension faded from some faces.

Mm-hmm. You just have to relax and work. Except for the magic of fermentation promotion, it's just like an extension of cooking. Firstly, it would be better to explain the specific procedures, which would make it easier for everyone to move and work with confidence.

"In the meantime, I'll explain the procedure for fermentation that I'm thinking about at the moment… first wash the beans nicely, then sprinkle them with water, boil and crush them softly, then mix the rice with the rice and put them to sleep with a moderate amount of salt"

This is how miso is made. Soy sauce is also made in a different way, so let's explain it at that time.

"When it does... will it feel like a non-stick jam?

I say as Grace leans her neck to imagine what she could do.

As expected from the finished product, that's a good line in there. Well... the fact that it doesn't necessarily happen because it's not like soybeans is an "experiment."

That said, beans with cannon beans are similar in flavor to soybeans, except for size. There is a part there that I expect.

"That's what I expected...? I'm hoping I can make soup for you, season it, season it, or use it like jam."

"Well, it's a seasoning."

"Yeah. I'm thinking of another kind, but let's get on with that work first"

When I nod at Claudia's words like I was convinced, Auria smiles.

"I'm looking forward to it if it works."

"Well, I still don't know what will happen. Now, Mr. Forceto, please."

"Yes."

Tell Forceto, she nods with a bright look just when she knows it and places the vitreous bottle she brings from the motherhouse on her work desk. There was a dark yellow-green powder inside.

"This was bred and dried cobalt mold. It's a seed koji."

Everyone's gaze gathers on the desk at Forceto's words.

"This will be painted on steamed rice and bred, then mixed in crushed beans"

"So this is what I bred."

and now Marcesca put the wooden vessel on her desk and took the lid.

Yeah. It's kind of reminiscent of the TV cooking show and the hand spinning though...... In the vessel was rice - or rice cod - that was, rice cod, which was covered in cobblestone mold and discolored.

"Mmm. Something, like sweet... smells strange"

I smelled that, Sheila says.

"Rice is sweet, and it's fermented."

This is what Forceto had prepared and planted seed koji from Halvaronis for later use in making sweet liquor.

When I thought of making miso with beans from cannon beans, I talked to Forceto about wanting to make rice koji, and because I had something I had planted, I was supposed to be able to offer it.

"Nevertheless...... sorry. I can't believe all of a sudden I'm allowed to use it."

"No, because Theodore's experiment sounds interesting."

"We also have sweet drinks, so we'll have them later when the experiment is done"

and Forceto and Scion laughed.

"So... this is the rice we haven't steamed yet..."

A ciglitter places a vessel with rice on the desk. I have had it put on water since last night because I am going to plant rice koji.

This one is going to steam and actually make rice koji... so let's magically encourage the breeding of koji mold.

So let's just say we all split up and do the work. First... wash your fingers.

The details of the work have not changed in any way, so everyone seems comfortable and so on. Everyone washes the bean shells from the cannon beans with water.

"I wonder if this is a good idea."

"If the general dirt goes off...... right. Uh, yes. I think we're good with this."

"Well, it wasn't that dirty."

"Then you'll clean up the rest, too."

Princess Stephania came to me with her neck tilted, so I peered into the bucket and then answered that, and both Princess Adriana and Princess Elkham laughed.

The three of them must want to help... it feels like they are normally mixed in with the work while the princess.

I just washed it in water and it got clean, and I need to soak it in water for a while and fluff it, but there will be places where the size will only take a while.

So first divide the buckets and prepare those that will be fumbled with magic and those that will be left to nature.

And... after washing and soaking the beans in the water. Using water magic, as I penetrated the water... I inhaled the moisture and the volume increased, and the round beans were shaped close to the ellipse.

With circulating smell, we will see if the water penetrates firmly to the inside....... yeah. Apparently, it's good.

"Good...... So, we're going to boil enough beans."

"You should hang this in a big pot."

Rosemary floats in a barrel-by-barrel revitalization and leans toward the large pan set on top of it.

"Do you ever watch out when you're boiling?

Ashley came asking as she rolled the beans in the pan using a large hella.

"When the ac comes out, I guess it feels like removing it"

"Then I think I can do it."

"Well, can I ask for it?

"Ugh."

And, Serafina answers Ashley with joy, and the two of us look at each other and smile at each other. Hmm. It's a smiling sight inside.

Put a fire in it and all you have to do is pick up the ac and wait for it to boil up. Let's steam rice in parallel and go into rice koji planting.

Before the beans boiled, the rice steamed up.

So we move this first to the fermentation room desk, spread it out, then apply seed koji, and mix it up. At this time, if the steamed rice is too hot, the mold will die. Work while looking at the temperature. Once the rice is cooled slightly and temperatures are reached to the point of touch, it is ready.

In everyone's intriguing gaze, he sprinkles seed koji, mixing it back together and proceeding with the sprinkling and the work carefully.

Air conditioned demon props to adjust room temperature.

According to Forceto, Koji mold prefers temperatures slightly below human skin, so it would be desirable to go just a little below 30 degrees.

"This way, after you mix it, basically, wrap it up so it doesn't get cold and leave it to sleep. After about a day, you get a fever, so you mix it up then."

"Heat... Is it better if I watch?

When Forceto said so, Illumhilt tilted his neck.

"No, well, I guess if you look at time as a guide, you'll be fine. Of course, it would help if you told me when you realized something."

"Okay."

Illumhilt broke up with each other.

Sleep half and use the magic of fermentation promotion on the other half.

"Well...... soon, but I will try the magic"

The technique of fermentation promotion is a combination of water magic and wood magic. Prepare the environment preferred by the fungus that wants to activate the activity before using the technique. At this time, it seems important to clearly picture the mold you want to activate...... Well, what happens now?

When it comes to the image, is it okay with that yellow, fan-expanded Koji mold?

Hands against rice coated with coriander and roll out some magic circles. and... a blurry light wrapped the rice. Light persists as it is in the magically hung rice, with the exception of the hands.

"… you have the impression of being close to the magic of physical strengthening."

And, says Forceto as he looks at it.

"It's a system of wood magic and water magic, and the subject is not human, but as a technique, I think it's close."

This light lasts for a while, so I'll call you back when the magic runs out.

Hmmm...... But there will be no dramatic change in the boulder immediately? I explored it with circulating smell to try it...... I had a deliberate feeling on the surface of rice. The seed koji woke up at the surgery ceremony, something like that? I guess from what I've seen with circulating smell, it promotes activity… After that, you should mix it up, just as you would if you let it sleep naturally while watching the temperature change.

Hmm...... Right. Let's say that the process of making miso will proceed while Cadkeus and Valor take a look at the temperature changes and the magic runs out.

That's how we wait for the beans to boil temporarily. Finally boiled up in good shape, so now we move on to the process of crushing you.

"I hope you crush this."

"Uh. I just boiled it up, and watch out for the burns."

"Uh. I tried to see the boiling earlier, but because of the spiritual protection, it's okay to touch the hot water."

Mallane snorts, too, Grace says.

Hmm. That's again. So the protection of the Spirit King and the Tefras is strong. Profión and Racheldo smile.

"No, it helps"

"It seems that the protection of Nong etc. is useful, above all."

"Uhm, not at all"

Miso making while protected by the protection of the Spirit is also what I feel is the use of luxurious protection... well, it definitely helps.

So we all weigh in on the workbench and crush the beans.

If we all proceed together to weigh and crush with our hands, or crush with a wooden lid, the work will be over soon.

"Hmm, what about this stuff?

Aulia seems to be working on things like floating in a revulsion and then holding it down with a wooden lid, disarming the magic and weighing it down and crushing it. All in all, it is an impression that everyone seems to be working happily.

Once this process is complete, mix the already-made cobalt with salt, fill it in a bucket, and place the drop cloth, medium lid, and weight on it, and the miso will be ready for now.

After that, we will regularly make buckets that use fermentation enhancing magic and buckets that we leave to nature without magic, and we will see the difference in the flavour that we can make….
