Ippanjin Enpou Yori Kaeru. Mata Hatara Kaneba!

7-7 Souvenirs after Returning Home

"I've made chicken, too."Please clear a little space on the table. "

Elena, with her thick mittens in her hands, grabs and holds the same large tajine pot.

When everyone cleared the space and brought a wooden pan, the Tajine pan was placed on top of it.

Holding the lid of the Tajine pan, grab it and open it.

"Fuahh..."

Unexpectedly, the smell of steamed chicken and herbs drifts through the room.

Unable to withstand the scent, Mio let out a sigh.

The herbs and salt were glued to a whole chicken, and it settled down, and underneath it were firmly laid palms and cabbage, and the boiled water made the chicken even more plump.

Elena had a knife and a fork for cutting.

As long as I peered in, I could not see the raw part that was red, and the fire was passing through.

Separate them into plates and hand them over.

Well, here you go.

Thank you very much.

Cows get bored, even if they are expensive.

There, the chicken is refreshing this time.

This must be a good chicken, too.The fatty part of the skin is not a dry type, and it remains on the flesh slightly.The fatty meat is also delicious, but after enjoying the beef fat, the impact is weak.

Um. Do you have any ponzu?

If you enjoy the flavor of vanilla (herbs) rather than the thick sauce, this is probably the place to go.

Yes, I'm ready.

Prepare by pouring two small plates of sauce from the ponzu vinegar bottle handed over.

From the condiments on the edge of the table, prepare a jar of Yuzu pepper and Nanami.

The Nanami is poured into one dish to make a spicy ponzu vinegar, and the other one remains normal.

Thank you.

Squeeze off the meat placed in each bone from the plates, and pour it over the spicy ponzu vinegar with the underlying cabbage.

As it is, open your mouth wide and eat the chicken.

(Oh, it's not stiff. It's plump.)

It is a chicken that sometimes becomes dry, but it will not be missed by receiving the flavor from the cabbage below while leaving a texture that feels like steaming.

You can feel the taste of birds firmly by putting them together in your mouth.

"Yeah, it's delicious."

Afterwards, the yuzu pepper is rubbed directly into the chicken with just a few ear loops, and then slightly soaked in normal ponzu vinegar.

Ng!

The aroma of yuzu with a tingling, chiseling, intense spiciness and concentrated yuzu, followed by the flavor of birds.Then the ponzu vinegar washes it off and unifies it in the mouth.

And the lemon sour on the side here.

I don't have the style to drink alcohol from noon, but I really want to invite you to a yakiniku.To the extent that you are not too drunk, you will be forgiven.Besides, I finished my work and I was hit by a difficult request.First of all, it's free time until tomorrow.

Guu, lemon aroma in a strong carbonated drink that's crackling.

It wasn't intended, but it matches the scent of yuzu pepper and citrus of the same lineage.

"Ufu..."

I kissed my throat and nose like that.

The breath burned with alcohol leaked naturally out of my mouth.

Although it is not the Mihao just now, it is not a good face to be able to do it at noon on weekdays.

Of course, the two men are still working admirably.I don't give a damn about alcohol.As a shigeru, I feel sorry for it, but it is a spice that resembles a kind of vulgarity.

(It would just be nice to have fun without thinking about it.)

Gwen, I'm going to rinse the lemon sour once.

A fine set of chairs and tables in a luxury condominium that you can't even afford to pay on your own, and you can see the road from a high floor that's probably not supposed to be yours.While looking at the suit salaried person who is busy walking around and the lady who sweats on the road construction from above, what are you doing there? At midday when the day is high, you are eating a lot of meat with other people's money and chilled liquor with Roja.

"Since noon, I've been a bad person to myself, I'm..."

A window in a high-rise apartment where you can see that you are climbing firmly.They eat with no money left from the day and drink expensive alcohol.

No, I'm done working as an exonerator, and since I'm on the invited side, I hope you enjoy it without worrying about it.

(...... I don't think it's the right amount of time.)

It doesn't suit my sex.

If something is not moving, the mind will be filled with an unsettling idea of a small citizen.

Welcome back ~

When Chan opens, the sound of the front door opens and a voice sounds after that.

Sounds of footsteps can be heard, and the door to the dining room opens.

"It's just... hey, hey!" Why are you throwing such a party!? "

Welcome back ~

Ah, I'm sorry to bother you.

I'm sorry to bother you, too.

No, I was invited to lunch by Hutu.

Looking at the party-like shape that he was left out of, Mayumi Garcia, who had been staying at the Shiraishi Special Steel Institute the day before to collect data, shouted reflexively.

After that, Elena, Mio, Yui, and Shigeru reacted in turn.

"The good adults drank at this time when everyone was working..."

Mayumi said exactly what she thought and what Shigeru thought.

"...... I can't repay you for this, right?"

The damage was huge enough for me to speak properly.

But the only drink I had to deal with my dry tongue was lemon sour.

Kupi, take a sip to moisten your mouth.

Oh, wow. The taste of vengeance is deeper than before.

"Well, leave your luggage."What happened to your lunch? "

Lower the backpack Elena was carrying from her shoulder and remove the plain cap and white thick-framed glasses.

The number of journalists clinging to the area around the recent Shiraishi Special Steel Research Institute has increased, and Mayumi is headed to the area in a slightly concealed manner, not even in a slight disguise.

I saw Elena and the gatekeepers combing my hair lightly with their hands and serving it as if it was a little stiff.

"I had a takeout burger set in the car on the way home.... I know I'm coming back, so can you tell me you're getting ready for this lunch?so that I could have come back without having to stop by the drive-through..... "

"I heard that there will be a little more verification work at yesterday's stage.It was said that it would be later than planned today because of the relationship.It's almost two o'clock.I thought it was a bad idea to be late. "

While looking at the wall clock, the gatekeepers said to Mayumi.

"After noon, if you're talking about preparing this kind of meal afterwards, you can wait for about an hour or two without eating anything."You can't be an unbearable child of 4 or 5 years old. "

Mayumi said casually.

It was not particularly a word referring to anyone, but for some reason Mio, who was supposed to be irrelevant, gazed softly out of the window and looked far away.The cheeks are red. Is it because of alcohol?Probably.

It was a coincidence that Yui, who was sitting beside Mio at about the same time, was only pointing her neck at her.

I'm sure you were falling in love with Mihao's face when he had a bad smile on his face.Probably.

"Well, that's fine. I was told to leave my luggage, but the contents of this backpack are not mine.""... can I talk to you?"

When I saw the Miko and the others in this room, I stopped going further.I'm sure there's nothing wrong with the wording of the verification work, which I've already heard from the gatekeepers, but that's a confirmation.

"You can talk about it." The two of you are also related to this case. "

Elena walks in and picks up a backpack from Mayumi that she brought back from the lab.

Then, open the zipper and take out the contents.

Rather, it came out tightly packaged in wrapping paper and petite pebbles.The size is just a little bigger than a two-liter plastic bottle.

That's two things.

"Even for you." It is said that the usage feeling should be confirmed and the customer should contact us.I'm not a courier, am I? "

No, I don't want to hear that from you.

Place the chopsticks on a plate and receive one of the wraps from Elena.

The gatekeeper nodded when she complained whether it was okay to peel it off with her eyes.

I sat down on the floor away from the boulder because it was nothing like opening it at a table where I was eating rice.

When I sat down, I peeled off the packaging and slippery.

It was tightly wrapped around with gamutte and curing tape, so I took a little trouble, but after a while, the contents came out.

"Oh, that's cool..." Is that the next cool piece of equipment? ”

"No, it's not an anime."I want you to stop that taxonomy. "

Yui expresses her thoughts on the side of Mio, who is still eating meat, with a beer in her hand.

While smiling bitterly, Shigeru took it out and observed it in the light.

"Shiraishi Special Steel Research Institute's refurbished armor dedicated to the" Knight of Light Speed "Ver3" Prototype for Magic Operation Specialization ", type: Apprentice.It's the hand part of the basket. It's an experimental incorporation of the technique provided by the "Demon King" into the initial lot of the expandable Ver3. "

Elena was about to open another package while reading the thick specifications of the clear file that was in the backpack.

"... heavy!? I don't know what kind of thing this is, but it's a little tough!?"

I said that and put my hand in the cage with one hand.

There was more weight than I had expected when I actually felt the weight.

"I tried to incorporate the magic circuitry inside the cage."For some parts, it says here that the use of the electronic valve of Dr. White Run's armor suit has been successful in preventing reflux and increasing motorized efficiency.However, that relationship requires a very elaborate internal mechanism, and the difficulty is that it is only a little vulnerable to shock by densifying it.... "

No, it's the most important thing, even though the main purpose is to cut it out.

I said it twice because it was important.

"In short, we are talking about delicate handling that does not break the control circuits inside.As a prototype, I guess the first approach is to try to incorporate it into the actual armor. "

"... you mean the first step of the trial-and-error?But that's the first step, isn't it? "

I'm scared to even try to shake my hand when I get that kind of caution.

Just by looking at it, it sounded like it was going to break.

"It seems that it incorporates the magic" Hikari-no-Tane "designed by" Demon King "to generate light sources."It seems to be a spoken-talk technique, so I want you to say it loud and clear without being shy. "

"... no, that's not where you need to be careful."

Once attached, pull out the hand, and place it on top of the bubble to prevent it from breaking.

It's like hitting an opponent with a no-passo because I don't have a club, and I use it too much for no purpose.

Roll lightly with a peg and leave on the side to avoid rolling.

Um...

When I do that, I hear a voice from the side.

Hmm?

There were Yui and Mio, who raised their hands.

Mio, who had previously focused on consuming meat, and Kupikupi and Chewy were supposed to be putting their hands on beer, but now they are shifting sideways.

What is it?

I went to the handkerchief that was repackaged.

Um, um, is that right?

Haha

Shigeru replied carefreely.

"Y-Yeah. Well, can you use magic?"Is there anything I can tell you right now? "

"According to what I've heard, not everyone can use it."Moreover, it's a prototype that I just started researching. "

Shigeru's neck leaned over and gave a gentle expression.

When can I use someone who can use it?

That's right.

What, magic? Really?

Yeah, I just set it up.

When Shigeru said so, Yui and Mio kicked the sitting chair and stood up, and rushed up to Shigeru.

"Uuuu!?"

Shigeru's body instantly regained its momentum.

But that's not what the two of you rushed over for.

It was not a bush, but a hand that was placed in front of it.

It is also called "Prototype for Magic Operation Specialization", the renovated armor Ver3 dedicated to the "Knight of Light Speed", manufactured by the Shiraishi Special Steel Research Institute, type: Apprentice. "A tool that can use magic, named after an apprentice, but grouped together in the first personally transportable size in history.

It is placed in front of me.

Well, a magical item.

Yui muttered in a dumb voice.

His body looks fine and trembling.

Huh?

Feeling something extraordinary in the state of things, the two gatekeepers called out to each other while Shige hesitated to call out.

Why don't you try it?

"It's okay!?"

Mio asks the gatekeeper like a shout.

"For once, the instruction manual has been read...."

Yes!

In that case, the two former idols lined up like loyal dogs in front of Elena, who was holding a thick instruction manual.

"... why?"

Looking at two people like that "wait" doggy, Shigeru doesn't know.

The impact of "magic" in modern times.

The perception of Shigeru, who is able to use it, and everything else that doesn't even trigger it, is as if it were different.

"Wow, wow." It's magic, Yui. "

"Wow. Wow. I wonder if I can do it."

And one more thing.

At such a time, it is said that "I had a mind like a boy", but it is actually different.

Perhaps it is the men or the women who burn this kind of thing.
