A huge building in the corner of the demon world.In one of the rooms, Noin, a member of the family of the Hades King, had a difficult expression.In front of her were plates and white chunks of tofu on them, all showing signs of eating a bite at a time.

"... the tongue feels bad... it's a remake."

Noin was taught how to make tofu at a barbecue hosted by Hades King Chromeyna the other day.

To be right, what the happy people remembered should have been shaped while consulting with Ain.Anyway, nowadays Noin keeps on thinking wrong every day to make delicious tofu.

However, Noin is a large Japanese party and is very committed to Japanese cuisine.And the straightforward character that did not want to compromise was combined, and even though more than a hundred prototypes had already been made, nothing was satisfactory.

Left to the culinary master Ein, it would be perfect after several prototypes, but Noin dared to make tofu by himself.

The reason for this is simple: Ahat said during the barbecue, "I'm making rice in Lazulia, and I'm cooking it in Ain."This time it was on its own that I created something satisfying, and it was already enthusiastic.

Noin ~ Mr. Otov, did you do it?

Master Laz? What's the matter?

Laszlia, a fairy flying with a small feather, comes to Noin like this.

Apparently, Lazuria is interested in Nein's tofu, and her eyes shine as she looks at the prototypes lined up on the plate.

"Oh, it's white and beautiful ~. Please let Raz eat it too!"

No, you can't!

"Huh? No way... is that so..."

"Ahhh, don't make me look like I'm going to cry."Right now, I haven't finished anything satisfying yet.... "

"It looks delicious enough..."

“No, we can't let Lord Raz eat something unhealthy.”

I can't let him eat because I haven't finished what I can convince him yet. When I tell Noin so, Lazuria drops her shoulders and makes her face so shabby that it's easy to understand.

Originally curious and vegetarian...... because meat is not a characteristic of the fairy race, Lazulia couldn't help but want to eat tofu made from soybeans.

"... I see, I see."Laz, you have to be patient. "

"Ahh..."

Little Lazuria's stubborn appearance caused a lot of damage to Noine's conscience, and Noine's troubled expression appeared on her face.

"So, but I feel that it's not handy.At this rate, I think I can offer it in a few more prototypes. ”

Is it true that you can do it right away?

Yes, very soon. If you can, I'll give it to Lady Raz, of course.

"Wow. I'm looking forward to it."

Listening to Noin's words, Lazuria, who had disappeared in an instant, such as the previous fall, flies around Noin happily.

A smiling sight, a smile unexpectedly appeared on Noin's face... and Lazuria stopped moving a little.

"...... Are you ready?"

"Huh? No, not yet."

"Oh, I see... how much longer is it?"Is it about five minutes? "

"... no, no, it's going to take longer."

"... is that so..."

It was quite difficult for Lazuria, who was not originally a patient personality, to wait.

Laszlia knows that it is not her character to overthrow Neun once she decides to do so.However, the interest that had sprung up once was hard to dissipate, and Lazulia stared greedily at Noin's back as she returned to making tofu.

A few days later, Lazulia finally couldn't bear it anymore, and she was visiting Ain, who seemed to be able to make tofu outside of Noin.

"...... Towfu, is that it?"

"Yes! Raz, that white, pully Otouf-san, I really want to eat!"That's why, Ein-san, please let Laz eat your tofu! "

"Hmm... I don't mind."

"I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I"

Ain nods with the usual cool expression after hearing Lazuria say that she wants to eat tofu.

And it came to pass just at that time, that Ahat came unto the two.

"Sister Laz and sister Ein?"What are you doing? "

Otoufu-san, I'm going to eat ~. Would you like to join Ahato-san?

"Towfu... is that the one Noin was talking about from Kite... I'm definitely curious."Ein's sister, can I ask you to do the same? "

“Yeah, no problem.”

In response to Lazuria's invitation, Ahato was also interested in tofu, so he asked Ain for his share and moved to the cafeteria with Lazuria.

Reaching the large dining room, tofu appears in an instant in front of Laszlia and Ahato, who are seated at a suitable table.

Here you go.

"...... That's Ein's sister."

Wow, I'm here. I'll take it ~

The tofu was prepared in the blink of an eye, but Lazuria and Ahato know enough not to like Ain, so they don't stick it in.

When I held each spoon in my hand and carried the tofu in my mouth... the reaction split brilliantly into two.

"... uuu, hmmm. It's a bit tasty."

Ahato leans his neck and gives a subtle expression, and when he sees it, it shows that he doesn't like it very much.

"Faha, it tastes soft and gentle.It's also delicious! "

Razuria, by contrast, seemed to have a taste of her own, twisting her body with a happy expression.

"You're Mr. Ottoof, aren't you?"Laz, I really like this. Thank you, Ein-san. "

"No, whenever it's like this..."

Thank you for waiting!

"... oh?"

Ein smiled small as he thanked Lazuria with a smile on his face.

Then, at the timing when I tried to return "I will make it anytime again," the door of the cafeteria opened vigorously, and Noin rushed in.And in his hand was a plate of tofu.

"Master Laz, thank you for waiting!"Finally, satisfactory tofu is complete... ah, ah?Is the sole tofu...? "

"Ah, ha, yes... I'm sorry.Laz, I couldn't stand it, and Ein-san made it for me. "

Razuria, who had Ain make tofu by flying, apologizes to Noin with a slightly disgusting expression.

However, Noin was not particularly concerned, and after seeing Ein's tofu as frivolous, his expression turned to a confident look.

"Never mind, Master Laz."It took me too long to keep up with it.However, this tofu is the perfect finishing touch!”Even though I'm Ain-sama, it's not more than the tofu I made.”

"... hey, idiot, Noin. Stop it... it's too bad for you."

"Fufufu, of course it's about Ein-sama, so I think he's doing great... sorry, Ahato-sama."Can I have a bite? "

”... ah, ahhh... I'm not saying anything bad, so withdraw the foreword... seriously”

Whether you are confident in the tofu that has been completed, or whether you are distracted by the fact that you have finally completed it by repeating the mistakes of thought, Noine usually utters challenging words that she would never utter.

Then, Ahato divided the tofu a little, smiled and carried it to her mouth...... After slowly returning the dish to Ahato, she changed her posture to that of a flowing throne.

"... a feather of mine worked disrespectfully towards Ain-sama, the maid."I'm sorry. Please let me eat this tofu again in the future. "

……

Ein's tofu seemed to be too good to break the stretched Tengu's nose, and Noin sheds tears and apologizes.

But it was Ein who panicked.

"No, Noin... oh, calm down.Ah, your toofu is amazing, too.As a maid, I can tell by the look. ”

"No, my tofu... it's just garbage compared to Ein-sama's."

”Y-you don't have to be so despicable... please feel more confident”

If Koré was a cook somewhere, rather than presumably a Noin, he would say, "Let's beat me, my maid."

But for Ein's family...... Ein began to console her in tears, unusually upset.

In the end, it would take quite some time for Noin to recover, and it would be a pleasure for him to be involved in his resurrection... but I'll tell you another story.
