Seth and Mermo had to skip out on company policy.

At the shelter in the south of the Great Plains, apart from the employees of the company to which they belonged, Comro Company, they were busy working for fish ponds and fields.

"Our company is really weird, isn't it?"

Since the boss is weird, it can't be helped, can it?

Mermo has accepted that his company is strange.

So, what is Mermo doing?

Seth asked Mermo, who was preparing a large pot with a deep bottom.

Since Seth is free, don't you want to go to a cooking showdown?

“I can't. I think the best thing in the world is the royal lobster salt grill, so I can't prepare it in the Great Plains.”

"Yes. If you want to help me, help me."

What are you making?

"Dumiglas Champolion is a dish. Have you ever heard of it? It's the most time-consuming dish in the world.”

To be honest, Seth didn't know the dish by that name, but she lied, "I've heard it." If you show Melmo a little weakness, the sequence at the company may change.

Seth feels inferior to the two of them who entered at the same time, but Melmo is stronger at work.

"I have to waste time anyway, so I thought I'd make it."

"Have you ever made one?"

"I've seen him make it. When I was a kid, my grandmother made poisonous spiders for me when I was dying. After that, my grandmother was bitten by a poison spider and she was dying."

Melmo's ancient stories are often about the monsters of spiders or the spurt of someone's blood.

"Well, leave that alone, and fry the flour and butter to make a roo!" I have to cut the vegetables. "

Mermo tells Seth.

"If you burn it, it's over." If your hair turns pale in Mountain Fox, remove it from the fire. "

After being instructed to do so, Seth decided to help.

Finish chopping the vegetables and the monster meat, take out the loofah in the pot, put the vegetables and the monster meat and bone in the boil.

"I don't need any love for this dish!" You just need to stir it inadvertently and take an action from time to time. "

Seth started stirring up the pan by killing her feelings, "Will it taste so good so easily?"

"I often say 'cooking is love', but this dish is originally delicious without the addition of love. Everyone who eats with love is said to fall in love with the cook. Got it?"

Yes.

While stirring the pan for a while, a question arose in Seth's head.

How long should I keep boiling this?

Seven days, seven nights, keep boiling.

"Huh!?"

Seth was surprised and let go of her stirring balls.

I won't let go!

"Y-Yes! But you can't keep boiling for seven days and seven nights."

“That's why it's the most time-consuming dish in the world. Originally, after seven days, the grandmother said that she would add mushrooms three days later and then continue to simmer for seven more days, but no one seemed to have done it."

Mermo said as he picked up the Akko.

So, no one ever finished it?

“Yes, but it's a dish that's always been challenged by someone somewhere in the world, because when it's finished, it'll go down in history and you'll be safe as a cook for life.”

But you can't do it alone, right?

"That's why we need a lot of cooks, and they even say 'cooking that connects people'... ahhh!" Maybe that's why Grandma made it for me when I was dying. With a wish to keep me connected to this world. "

That said, Mermo and Seth started stirring the pan.

Lou was put in little by little, and he kept simmering for about five hours, and suddenly, "Ah! I forgot the fruit!" cried Mermo.

Did you need fruit?

Yeah.

Well then, why don't you pour some more fruit juice now?

“The food doesn't change?”

"Isn't it okay to develop new dishes?" We've done it this far, so let's keep going. "

That's true, too.

Add more fruit juice and keep simmering, and the pot will start to smell good.

This is definitely delicious!

Seth shouted. Neither of them cared about the sweat flowing from their foreheads, and they were desperate to swallow the overflowing saliva, and no emotions other than appetite emerged.

"Mix it up carelessly! If you taste it, you lose!"

Melmo stopped Seth, but in the evening he tasted it and was defeated. The sweetness of vegetables and fruit juice is intertwined with the flavor that comes out of the monster's meat and bones, and even a small amount of the rich taste spreads throughout the mouth. My mouth is lonely after swallowing and I want another bite. As a result, the taste was transformed into a meal, and people who were invited to gather by the smell also acted.

Eating the stew of Dumiglas Champolion, an investigator from the capital of Chione came in front of them and whispered something embarrassing.

"What can I do for you? The plates are there, so please use them."

Seth pointed at the stacked plates.

"No, that's not it... thank the president..."

"Oh, to the president. I see. I'll tell you what."

At any rate, the two thought that the president had done something. When that happens, you'll have to ask the president later if anything happens, either by saying thank you or complaining. In the first place, the president's work is too out of standard, and even listening to the side that was hit often does not get the guidelines.

Shit! Mermo! Isn't it better to take this dish to the president?

"Sure! If you said you ate such delicious food in silence, you wouldn't know what to do later." Ah! Could you please take it with you? "

Melmo called out to me and said, "I am you!” Chione surprised.

"You should also say thank you directly." That's right, let's do it. Just a moment, please. I'll prepare a small pot. "

Where's the president?

"I think you're staying at a hotel in Morales."

Chione was given a Dumiglas Champolion-style stew and sent out.

"The president would be more pleased if Mr. Chione brought us dinner than we are."

"Yes, the president likes young Neye-san." But, is it okay to let him have the [cooking that connects people]? "

"Ah....."

The two looked up at the night sky, thinking about the meaning of "connecting people".
