Ray came back to the full pavilion leaving the demolition of Gamelion to Hasta.

Near the entrance Arca was served a plate of soup - vegetables, bacon, and soba - that failed in the udon prototype, and Ceto sounded his throat delighted as he ate cleverly soba from that soup. Then he joyfully enters the full pavilion with a grin on Arca, who is making hair repairs through Seto's hair.

Exactly after 10am, there is still time until noon, so the customer who was in the store when Ray was there earlier disappeared, and now there is not a single customer.

The only person who was there was Enedra wiping the table.

"Oh, you're back"

"Oh. I've left it to Hasta about Gamelion, so it'll be fine"

"That's good. Well, it's quick, but can you go to the kitchen? Because that guy is preparing udon. Looks like we made some progress a little while ago, huh?

"Heh, that's just fast. Can we go that far in this short time?"

Whimpering, he leans his neck when he sees Enedra wiping on the fudge table.

When the Rays came back to the city yesterday and came to the dining room, there were a few other people in Enedra who were waitresses, but now it's only Enedra.

Question it and ask.

"Was there anyone else yesterday?

"Huh? Yeah. Those people have been here since noon. Anyway, even though I'm busy in the morning, I've only got enough customers to manage on my own."

"... heh. Is that what you say?"

While I feel like I'm working part-time, I head to the kitchen to keep out of the way of Enedra, who seems busy cleaning the dining room.

"Huh, something like this?...... hmm? Oh, you're here."

That's how it came into Ray's eyes entering the kitchen was the look of Dishot weighing and squeezing the flour-round dough.

"Didn't I tell you to step on it in order to get the rub out on the dough? I think I knocked on the dough when I first got here, but I don't think I have to bother wearing it out physically."

"I did hear you should step on it with your feet... but somehow, it would be dirty to step on it with your feet, wouldn't it? If they found out they were making it that way, no one would eat it."

"No, he said it was dirty... oh"

That's it, I'm convinced, Ray.

Anyway, there is no vinyl in Elgin in this city of Gilm. Then the immediate idea is to put it in a paper bag and step on it, but if you do, the paper bag will tear the material quickly and intensely. I do have to question hygiene if I do, and I don't think a customer who finds out about it will order it.

(If you can think of anything else, if you want to brace your feet with a fur dedicated to udon treads, it's a way to wear them... but I guess the very act of treads still doesn't work)

"Thank you for not getting along so well. Did you say noodles or something? It's hard to make it that way."

"I can only tell you to make up for that area with experience. Whatever the ingredients are, I don't remember their distribution."

"I guess. If there is less moisture, the dough will not get wrapped up, and if there is more moisture, it shall be becharred. There's nothing I can do about this area unless I actually try it.... but this fabric is quite confident. Look at that."

That said, put more and more of the dough Dishot has been putting together on the cooking table.

It is true that the fabric emitted some sort of lustrous object, and it did not seem as different when compared to the udon fabric as Ray himself remembered.

"All you have to do is stretch it out."

I groaned satisfactorily and took it out was like a noodle stick......

Point your gaze at that noodle stick, Ray feeling uncomfortable somewhere. Looking at the noodle stick, I notice that the tip of the noodle stick has an eartip.

The noodle stick that Dishot has. It was indisputably nothing but a short spear.

"Why are you a spear?"

Speaking of unexpected, he asks with an unexpected sigh of relief at unexpected developments, but explains himself as if he was nothing.

"I asked you yesterday. Look for the tools you need to make udon. I told my blacksmith Pamidor the shape of the noodle stick and he gave it to me."

"Pamidor again."

When I torched Hasta, or this one. Reminds me of the bandit-faced blacksmith with all sorts of edges, but already gives up and encourages me to continue the work with my face.

"I put the dough to bed for about 30 minutes, so I think I'll go into the next step."

(After you put him to bed for about 30 minutes, you were pinching him even more?

While I remember my doubts from the inside, I decide that there will be no particular problem.

"Oh, do whatever you want with me. Let me do that if there's anything I can say to you, but only to that extent I can. It's not like a real cook."

"If you do, this one won't help."

I hate being spoken out by amateurs like Ray because I'm proud of what I do.

Sometimes, of course, that is reflected as arrogance, but fortunately for Ray, he was taken with the impression that he was a believing craftsman.

Most importantly, I wouldn't have said anything about Ray even if he seemed somewhat arrogant because he has the realization that amateur self, as Dishot would say, would be best retained only to give ideas and advice, than to teach him to cook for the reason that he wanted to eat the noodles he was eating in the previous world.

"Then let's get started"

Declare it as if a ritual or something were to begin, rolling and spreading the patterned part of the short spear onto a mass of udon fabric somewhat larger than the fist.

Of course, even this short spear was properly washed when Pamidor gave it to me, and I didn't have to worry about hygiene because it was properly washed before I used it like this.

Ray opens his mouth where it spread to some extent as he watches a short spear instead of a noodle stick stretch the dough.

"I think it's good around there. After that, I cut it to about one-third the thickness of my nail tip..."

"Okay. That's a third of the toe."

"Oh.... wait a minute. It's easier to slice the dough with flour and then fold it up."

"Hmm? Oh, okay. Striking powder."

Apparently, he knew the presence of the beating powder to use when making bread, and when he nodded as he was convinced by Ray's words, he gently covered the flour and folded the dough.

So when I was ready, I cut the udon with a knife of all sizes... that's what I should call a real cook, all the dough was cut into noodles without hanging for a minute.

"... I see this is udon. It's a lot different than what I made in the morning."

When Dishot nods satisfied with the appearance of udon, he quickly boils the water and begins to boil.

Afterwards, after about 10 minutes of boiling, washing with water, and then heating again gently through hot water, the first udon in this Elgin world is completed by hanging a soup with plenty of meat and vegetables that was prepared as a soup for the day.

"... eat me"

DiShot offering udon served in a soup dish to Ray.

There is naturally no such thing as chopsticks in this world, so it is accompanied by forks.

asks unexpectedly as he receives it.

"Can I be the first to eat? Isn't that why you're the first to taste it?

"No, I think the person who gave me this culinary idea is the first person who deserves to eat it"

They turned their gaze that they would never retreat, then Ray nodded small.

Gently tangle the tip of the fork into the udon swimming in the soup and carry it straight to your mouth.

Zuuuuuuuuuuuu.

The noise of sipping noodles echoes around you, but if you're like a nobleman, it's all over the city... and there's no way a restaurant owner like that in the back street can complain to that extent.

I finish eating udon silently as it is and drink all the soup too.

DiShott, who watched it in silence, eventually asks as if he had cut the paralysis.

"What do you say?

"Right. I think we should make the boiling time a little shorter... because it's a matter of preference around here. I think it tastes good enough for the taste of udon itself. And I guess I should make some soup. For more flavored soups, light flavoring, etc. The soup will change your impression of udon over time."

"So long, let me refer to that area."

He nods at Ray's words and starts eating his share of the soup with udon.

Ray thinks inside as he cleverly wraps his udon around it with a fork, thinks about it every bite, or watches DiShott eat it while he snorts.

(Udon, udon. I just have to eat it with a fork rather than without chopsticks.... Pasta when it comes to noodles eaten with forks? You just have no idea how to make pasta. It was about dry pasta I was eating before I came to Elgin. Can you make it out of flour? No, I feel like I was using powder for dual or something... I have hasta, so it seems interesting to try to make pasta)

I guess I was quite satisfied with the taste of the udon I made, even though I thought about not letting it go that way. Serve udon and soup on another dish with a small grin.

"Give me a minute. I'd also like to ask Enedra and Arca about the flavor."

"Oh, I know... hmm? No, you should make another drink."

"What?"

"It's my proud son. You must have brought Gamelion's meat."

That's what Ray says. No, I hear Hasta coming from the entrance to the dining room.

"Father, Mother, I brought Gamelion's meat, so I need a little help carrying it!

"... Gamelion meat?"

That gaze is directed at the udon vessel you have. I guess you're remembering the story Ray said about using Gamellion's meat as a topping.

While you're thinking like that, Hasta shows up with a handful of meat.

"Ah, Mr. Ray. What about udon?

"Well, you can say it's done for once. However, even though it was finished, it just took shape. It depends on the skill of the cook in charge to see what kind of dish you're going to finish."

"Huh? Really? Dad, that's amazing. I can't believe I've finished udon already."

"Look, here it is. Eat it and let me know how it tastes."

Place the meat of the gamelion on the cooking table, receive the bamboo to be served, tangle it in the fork and sip it in, making the same noise as the ray.

"... Ah, delicious. Yeah, it's delicious. This! I think this is definitely going to be popular. Are you saying noodles? Easy to eat, and you can eat fast when you don't have time."

Was it on the tongue too long, and the contents of the little one disappear quickly. And...

"Ah, brother, it's sloppy! I'll eat Arca too!

Arca screams, smaller than Hasta, but still carrying meat of considerable size.

"Oh, well, I'd love to try it, too."

"... here. Let me know what you think."

Dishot to make 2 cups of udon and serve to each.

Arca seems happy with it, and Enedra starts eating fast with a gentle grin and receives its bamboo.

"In the meantime, shall we bring meat? Stay here if you want."

"Ah, yes. Right. That would help. Please check back later for demolition sheds regarding demonic stones and materials."

"Oh."

Nodding, Ray and Hasta carry Gamelion's meat to the cooking area one after the other for two.

When the passers-by around them saw it, they realized that it was beginning to be a season where they could eat the meat of Gamelion, and quickly became more guests to have a little early lunch at the full pavilion.

DiShott, who had a taste of udon, noticed it and hurriedly began cooking the meat of Gamellion as a stir-fry rather than a time-consuming simmer.

Ray and Hasta pulled their luggage and headed back to the demolition cabin after all the meat was transported to see how it was going.

Welcoming the Rays back to the demolition hut was, naturally, the smell of dark blood as a result of the demolition of the Gamelion.

While slightly frowning at the smell, he moves toward the workbench while being guided by the hasta.

"This is the material and the magic stone of Gamelion."

What was on the workbench was the fur that the Alliance would buy away as material, fangs to inject poison, left and right ears that were turning into blades, tails that could be bought away as material, even though they were crusade proof sites. And it was the demon stone Ray craved more than anything else.

"... I did receive"

Nod to Hasta. Lay into the mysteries one after the other.

Seeing it, Hasta looked over, envious of the mistering.

For Hasta, the reason she became an adventurer in the first place was to provide meat for the monsters in her parents' dining room, the item box that can be stored in large quantities without spoiling the monster's carcass is what she wants so much that her hands can get out of her throat. But given the price, it doesn't matter how much you scratch. That's why I'm going to turn an unnecessarily craving gaze.

"... sta, hasta!

"Huh? Oh, yes. What is it?

Hasta finally returns to me when Ray calls me.

While largely anticipating what he thinks of the condition, Ray turns his gaze to the ground of the demolition shed.

"Can we also do the dismantling of rare species? There's a lot of meat in that giant alone, so it's going to rot before it runs out."

"Oh, it's okay. When it comes to serving gamellion meat at this time of year, it is seasonal, so I think it will sell out in an instant. So never mind, we'll dismantle it."

"Really? Well, I hope you say so..."

Whimpering, removing the rare species of gamelion from mystering.

Thus, after that, Ray and Hasta dismantled the rare species of Gamelion.

It must have been lucky for Ray and Seto to get a piece of Gamelion meat in addition to the demonic stones and ingredients he had promised to thank for this one.

Udon. Its cuisine is ancestral to the full pavilion, all over the kingdom of Mireana. And eventually to the neighbouring countries. Furthermore, it will spread all over Ergin, and various other noodle dishes like pasta, ramen and soba will be made in addition to udon. And Dishot will become known in future generations as The Basics of Noodle Cooking, but that's another story.
