The day when Lilinrara was returned to Prince Salius.

After that, we left Misfiah, Prince Salius and Lilinrara in the room, and we descended into the hall of the inn with the Marines of Veronia.

There, the soldiers seemed to be eating in turn, eating soup and bread.

"Speaking of which, I'm hungry."

The outside is already dark.

Leaving the store to deliver the medicine to Newman's clinic was before noon, fighting Lirin Lara on the way, taking him to the house of Rooty, calling Misspheres, Prince Salius attacking, and killing Lilin Lara. I came here.

It was a very busy day.

I want to relax tomorrow.

"Oh, are you hungry?"

Soldier ... Apparently a high-elf half-human-like man approached me.

A man's ear is just like a human, with a slightly pointed tip. The characteristics of the body are almost human.

It seems like there was a high elf in a generation as great as his grandparents.

The tanned and rugged skin is undoubtedly a sailor's face, but his face is beardless, and his eyes are so cool that it doesn't look good and gives the impression of a high elf.

This guy, when we came back to the hall, turned his eyes on the hostility as an opponent of Lilin Lara, but after explaining that Lilin Lara's subordinates, who had been captured together, had settled. , I was getting very friendly.

"Oh, I don't eat anything from noon."

"Well, why do you want to eat this?"

The man points to the table soup.

Veronia Navy cuisine?

The Kingdom of Veronia was so bad with the Kingdom of Avalonia that he never ate Veronian cuisine. I am worried what kind of seasoning it is.

"Yes, can I get a little?"

"sure thing"

Apparently the man was a non-commissioned officer, and when he shouted loudly to his subordinates, the stubble-bearing soldiers immediately brought soup and bread for each one.

The soup is slightly white and cloudy, but clear enough to see down to the bottom of the dish.

There is not much smell ...

In the soup there is pork, leeks and carrots cut irregularly.

Pork was thick and reddish.

“…………”

Hmm ... maybe this.

I scoop the soup with a spoon and put it in my mouth.

It was salt water.

When I ate the ingredients, the fire did not go through well and the core remained, and on the contrary, the inside was cold.

That is.

"Unpalatable"

Rooty eating next to me said clearly.

His face is expressionless, but his eyebrows are slightly subtle, and he thinks it is not very delicious.

Upon hearing the words, the NCO laughed without anger.

"That's Kurt! I guess it doesn't taste good!"

"I'm sorry, I don't have cooking skills."

One of the soldiers, Kurt in his early 30s, smiles.

It doesn't seem to have the basic knowledge of cooking in the first place.

"Oh, but I don't usually cook. I can't help it."

"No, I'm a cook. I cook on the boat."

Kurt is shyly scratching his head.

No, anything is strange.

"By the way, what is your cooking experience?"

"I cooked for the first time in the army"

"Well, maybe that's the case ... but who can tell me how to cook?"

"I didn't learn how to cook, but I was taught how to manage inventory and prevent seafarers from stealing."

Indeed, that may be the most necessary capability of a ship's cock.

"Well, I'm not good at cooking, but Kurt is a" sniper. "

"Thank you"

Certainly it is important, but ...

"OK"

After a little worries, I got up.

"I'll cook"

"What?"

"I came to Zoltan with great care, but this is unsatisfactory as a Zoltan food or a Zoltan citizen."

"Oh, oh?"

Well, the main reason is that I can't stand the bad food in my empty room.

No matter what, I moved to the kitchen and prepared quickly, without having to worry about Kurt, who was with me for the time being.

I am hungry.

I'll pass the time-consuming dishes this time.

"I make the same pork and vegetable soup."

"With the same material?"

"Basic Hana"

Cut the carrots into smaller pieces without peeling. Root vegetables are most delicious near the skin.

Leek is thinly diagonally white, and finely chopped green.

Next, butter is cut into large pieces and the mass is melted in a pan.

Then add the vegetables and fry it firmly. Stir-fry prevents vegetables from collapsing and prevents the taste and nutrition from dissolving.

Pork is sliced thinly and spread over vegetables.

Pour water about half of the vegetables. Still do not stew the soup.

When the water inside boils, cover and steam for about 7 minutes. In this case, the fire will pass faster than simmering, and the sweetness of the vegetables will not escape.

Then add water and salt and boil. While tasting, add a little salt, pepper, and a little fish meal in a small jar to adjust the taste.

Easy soup that does not take 20 minutes even if you do it from preparation.

Finally, the parsley carved as color is floated and completed.

"OK"

A good smell of vegetables was served in the bowl.

"Oh, split it up to me"

"Good, I make about 20 cups."

Kurt picked up the bowl from me and ate it without taking it to the hall.

"Uma!"

Life on a military ship is so severe that ordinary people cannot bear it.

Therefore, if all the soldiers are brought down to the port when they call, a deserter will occur.

In most cases, a manageable number of people will be taken to the harbor on a shift to take vacations, while most other soldiers will spend time on ships.

If a soldier is a bad captain, he may not even get off the ship for years.

That is, they usually eat on the boat while at port.

"I ate this delicious thing after a long absence. Are you a" chef "?"

"No, I only take common level 1 cooking skills, but that's it."

"Is level 1 so delicious ?!"

"I have some skills, but first I need to learn the basics of cooking."

Cooking while imagining the meaning of preparation, the principle of seasonings, and what kind of taste it will be.

That being said, in this world many people consider everything a blessing and a skill, but they tend to be neglected, though not fundamental.

The reality that even if the basics are neglected, the higher the level, the better the situation is.

Well, it may be fine because it will be managed somehow.

But it would be a problem to be unable to cook without helping because of the lack of skills.

The same goes for swords as well as dishes.

The theory of swordsmanship is a regular occurrence in any army, and if you have time to remember swordsmanship, it is better to hunt monsters and raise the level. Some commanders will hit you.

As a result, the only way to solve things is to "raise the level."

But what to do if you need to solve things right now and you aren't at the level you need?

The commander of the Bahamut Knights was my swordsman essential.

By acquiring the power above the level by swordsmanship,

He has mastered the use of not only swords but also spears, axes, clubs and sickles, and all other weapons that his skills do not follow.

Others are calm and easygoing, but when it comes to weapons, they start happily speaking and when they say they are just geeks, they are suspected by their subordinate knights, but anyway, As a "guide" who can't rely on skills, he was a benefactor to me.

"I see, I'm thinking about cooking."

Kurt nodded many times as I was impressed as I taught her the basic recipes and how to use seasonings.

The tone is somehow honorific.

"Now, please help me with serving."

In the end, he cooked bread porridge, dried fish plump, and salty mashed potatoes that seemed to match beer, making it easier to eat even hardened bread like stones. I'm hungry.

These additional dishes are also helped by Kurt. Well bread porridge, plump grilled dried fish and mashed potatoes are simple dishes.

The only thing that changes depending on whether you have the skill or not is the seasoning. Even dishes that use only salt will be delicious if you have high cooking skills.

What to do if you don't have the skills

Choose a dish that will be as delicious as possible with existing seasonings. Naturally, that's the best.

But a small number of cooks can do it. Many believe that blessing and skills have all the consequences and causes of failure.

"Yes!"

Kurt saluted himself to his superior, and took his tableware and served him with a crush.

As expected, it is not enough for everyone here, but there are enough to eat in large numbers.

I was wondering if there was a step-in-law, but hearing the cheers that had taken place in the other room, I realized that my mouth was grinning.

Well the food was good.

"It's been a long time to eat such a delicious dish!"

Surrounded by Veronian soldiers who were supposed to be enemies until recently, I have received great praise.

"The best thing is that Kurt made this delicious dish!"

Anyone who can make mashed potatoes can be thought of as someone who knows the basics of cooking.

Just as letting someone who has never held the sword shake the sword will not cut it properly, even those who have never touched the pot will not be left roasting meat.

He failed, convinced that he had no skills, and convinced that if he had something to eat, he could make it without skills.

… At that time, I may have forgotten the dread of being noticeable.

"True, this is delicious"

"Yes, my red is amazing."

"Yeah, my brother is amazing."

Prince Salius who had just come down to the hall, and Ritt and Lutey, who had their shoulders and their chests aligned for some reason.

"Hmmm, I thought I had to improve on the food too ... because, uh, Lilin Lara was so careless."

Prince Salius nods many times while murmuring.

From this point on, I felt awkward that something would be awkward.

A few days later.

Both Missphere and the mayor of Tornado came to my store and asked me to have a buffet party for soldiers with Kurt.

"Teacher! Thank you for today!"

The day of the buffet party.

Kurt, a Veronian cook, greeted me with glittering eyes.

He said he should leave it to the blessing of the chef, but Prince Salius and Lilinrara seemed to have said it.

It also has the purpose of teaching Kurt cooking.

The rewards are pretty good. The usual sales of shops are so blurred.

"Even if you can serve Oden in such a place, you can run out of Odenya!"

It is Oparara, the owner of Oden stalls, who rolls his arms.

"No, I'll be grateful."

She was anxious and helped me when she asked me with Luti.

Even if my dish is crazy, the already cooked opalara oden will be insured.

"But today's protagonist is Red's husband. I'm a supporting role, and it makes sense."

With that said, Oparara began preparing beef streaks with a full face.

what? Is it an oden joke?

"Well, I'm getting that much reward, just do it."

Take out your favorite kitchen knife (kitchen knife) and wear an apron.

"Speaking of which, the kitchen knife is not made of copper."

"Sorry."

"What's that? Swords are more important."

Opalara laughed with fun.

Certainly, the weapon that saves lives is a copper sword, but it's strange that kitchen knives for cooking are made of steel.

"Red"

Looking back at the voice calling me, I saw Litt and Luti.

"I'm ready for my assistant."

"I'll do my best"

Litt wears a red apron, Lutey wears an apron with a round cat's face, and for some reason both have a ladle in their right hand.

"I think it's like cooking"

Litt laughed while hiding her mouth in the bandana.

They are cute, but they are not good at cooking.

Both the hero Litt and the strongest hero, Louty, know the basics of camp cooking, but they are on par with people.

Cooking is deep, considering that both superhuman physical abilities and the power of spirit magic are powerless before cooking.

By the way, do you start working on the dish soon?

I arranged the ingredients I brought on the table.
