Legend

Ray drinks the soup served in front of him.

What spreads in your mouth is the flavour of intense animal extracts.

I honestly think it's amazing from Ray's point of view that it doesn't contain any kind of appliance in particular, but it's purely soup that makes it taste so far.

Salt is the only flavor, but the simple flavor of salt was wonderful for its taste.

This much flavor will naturally require a high cooking technique... from Ray's point of view, I know that technique is expensive, but I don't even know exactly how high it takes.

Still, I was just sure that the soup tasted purely superb to call it.

(I remember seeing in something that superior meat like grade A5 can be eaten simply by shaking salt and pepper and cooking it better than seasoning it poorly... does this feel the same?

I think that way for a moment, but for now Ray honestly speaks his thoughts about Georgima in front of him.

"Delicious."

"Right."

I was Georgima snorting at Ray's words, but I'm not happy with that look.

When your abilities are still immature, you want higher technology, a look like you think so.

"Seeing how it goes, you're apparently not satisfied yet"

"Oh. This soup is also a soup made from oak meat and bones, but besides the flavor, the beast odor has not completely escaped, and the flavor is blurred. There's still bitterness and egumi, and it'll be a while before it's finished."

It was a soup that seemed delicious enough for Ray, but he's still unhappy for Georgima.

Nevertheless, this is how the soup has been served at noon, the day after Ray explained the ramen, so I guess its rate of development far exceeds that of a regular cook.

"Really? I think it's delicious enough."

"Is this the right fit in a dish soup called Ramen?

Asked so, Ray shushes aggressively, trying to answer subtly differently.

All I know about ramen is what the book says.

There is no way I can say that the soup in front of me tastes different than if I had never actually eaten it myself.

If you say that, you will be so questioned as to why Ray knows the flavors of a dish he has never even eaten.

"Uh, for now, I think soup is fine in this direction"

"Really? But I think I'm going to lose somewhere in salt to the rich soup flavor..."

"... ah"

Ray, who was heard to be a rich soup, reminds me of a certain soup.

I don't know if I can say that for a moment, but Georgima would get there without Ray having to say anything, and Ray wants a better ramen if he eats a ramen too.

Decide so and mouth the name of the soup you remember.

"I remembered there was a double soup."

"What kind of soup?

The soup I served to Ray tasted pretty good, but only pretty good.

If you try Georgima, you're still more dissatisfied.

So if there's any chance that you could improve the taste of that soup, it wouldn't be strange to want to hear about it.

To Georgima, who asks about the flavor, Ray mouths his foreboding once and for all as usual.

"I'll tell you what, just like Ramen's knowledge, all I know is what was written in the book. Listen to me on that premise."

"I know. I need some advice, anyway."

"... this soup was a substitute for stewed oak bones, wasn't it?

"Oh. Apart from oak bones, of course, I use plenty of smelly erased flavored vegetables"

"I guess. I don't think I have a problem with this kind of smell. But you care about Georgima, don't you?

It was a ray with a far sharper five senses than a regular person, but not so much developed, even if the taste is sharp among them.

No matter how sharp your taste, you won't be able to use it if you don't work it out properly.

In that sense, Ray's taste was absolutely inexperienced.

"That's right. So, what exactly is double soup?

"Simply put, all you have to do is mix the soup from the seafood with the soup from this oak."

"... I see. I know there's a cooking method like that, but do you even use it for ramen"

I always thought I was surprised by my words, but Ning Lo Ray was more surprised that Georgima already knew how to cook them.

Of course Georgima is somewhat surprised, but Ray's surprise was stronger than that.

But soon I think it's not strange to know because I'm Georgima, who has a deep knowledge of cooking.

"It's just that soup involves noodles.... What about that one?

That's what I ask, but this one also has Georgima shaking his neck to the side.

"No. In the first place, there's nothing I can do about it unless I know what Kansai looks like.... It's probably water because it's about kanji..."

"Even Georgima, who is highly knowledgeable and skilled in cooking, is kanji difficult?"

Ray thought it was liquid from the name Kanshui in the first place, but it could actually be another ingredient with that name.

"Sooner or later, I'll find it and show it to you.... but until then, it would be nice to use this soup as udon soup instead of ramen"

"I guess that would be the best choice."

Ray doesn't even know if udon goes with ramen soup.

No, I don't even know if this soup can be called ramen soup in the first place, so I guess it's too early to worry about that.

(Not ramen, but udon, soba and bare noodles eaten in kiritampo pan stock are delicious. If you think about it, you can put udon in this soup as is, or you can make it a double soup and add udon)

Near Ray, who thinks that way, Georgima also thought again.

I was wondering what kind of seafood soup I could use to beat this cloudy pork bone - an oak bone to be exact - soup.

(To produce a strong flavor, dry... shellfish? Or dried octopus or squid... so to speak, there was dried Kraken. If you use that...)

Georgima quickly remembers the ingredients currently in the kitchen and figured out how to create a strong flavour for the soup.

Ray's idea of double soup was also an unexpected one for Georgima.

It wasn't strange to think of a soup.

That's how I look at seafood soup, and eventually I get up.

"I got a general view. I'll use the soup I took from this oak bone and give it a try with some fish or something. I'll bring your soup again when it's ready, so taste it again when it does. I'd like to try some noodles."

"I know about soup and noodles, but what's going on with the utensils?

"There's a lot going on over there. However, it is not that difficult to make the utensils… or it seems to be possible to reproduce them with the cooking methods available."

To the words of Georgima who tells you so, do you? and Ray, who for a moment wonders.

But since I've had the same dishes in terms of char siu and soft meat with stew, I'm probably fine with it.

I should have been able to make boiled and smoked eggs without any particular problems.... Although smoking boiled eggs was unexpected for Georgima.

Ningro, it was even a great harvest in this case of ramen that I gained the knowledge of smoking something like boiled eggs.

"Was it just Memma? The guy who used the taco is a bit. Doesn't feel like what Ray was saying."

"Uh... I don't know how to make it either."

The memma that Ray knows needs to ferment the octopus, but if you try Ray, who has no knowledge of the area, you can't even imagine how to make it.

"We're going to try and make mistakes around there. In the first place, I don't know how long it'll take for the noodles to be ready. Then we'll improve this soup as soon as possible, so let's go."

"Uh... it's nice to meet you for lunch"

Said it was already noon, but Ray ate... no, all I drank was soup with oak bones.

No utensils, nothing, really only soup.

For Ray, who originally eats more than others, this soup-only lunch is not very satisfying.

Of course, the soup itself tasted satisfactory to Ray.

"Ah? Oh, with that said, was it that time already? I'll tell him to bring something when we get back to the kitchen, so just wait a minute."

That's what I said, Georgima leaving the room.

Ray, sitting in his chair, dropped off such Georgima's hindsight with a slightly dazed look.

"Well, if you can ramen me, I'm good."

In this way, there's no way Ray can ramen while he's in the Duke of Kelp.

No, maybe I can do the unfinished product... but eating that and whether Ray can be satisfied or not was a different story.

A little after Georgima left...... eventually when I fill my belly with lunch my maid brought me, I think about what I should do now.

Naturally, this is the Duke of Kelevel territory, so there aren't many people I should call Ray's acquaintance.

Elaine and Arla, the closest of them all, were also too busy cleaning up the work they were accumulating while they were at Gilm, and Ray and I didn't have the right amount of time today, at least.

What should I do in the afternoon?

That's what came to Ray's mind when he thought about it: training with the Knights led by Filma.

But shortly afterwards, saying that I am now Anesis... reminds me that it is the second city in the Kingdom of Mireana.

(It would be quiet if we were in this mansion, so I didn't really feel that way... then I figured Anesis should look around? Something I haven't already eaten, ingredients, magic items, maybe something like that)

If you think about it there, Ray can't do this either forever.

All I can remember is saying it's an auspicious day, get ready to go out... call the maid.

A bell is available in the room where Ray is staying, and if you ring that bell, you will be waiting in the next room, while you are in this mansion, the maid who became Ray's exclusive will come soon.

Note that the maid's name is Miranda, the maid who was with Ray when he went to the stables to see how Seto was doing and when he had a mock fight with Filma.

Miranda has moderated her attitude towards Ray, especially since one incident at the stables.

Though, that's just my attitude as a maid, and I don't want to get along with Ray personally.

"Mr. Ray, can I help you?

"I'd like to take a look around Anesis and ask if Seto can take me with him?

Seto is with me. So Miranda gives me a look of envy just a little bit.

But soon I open my mouth like I'm lost.

"Well, I think it's a little difficult because I think Seto will come out with a lot of scary people when we're together."

"I guess. This isn't a guild."

If this is the Guild, that's the only thing that scares me when I go out with Seto.

Most people have gathered for work to build, so naturally some of them were scared the first time they saw Seto.

"I will ask your husband a few questions, please wait a moment"

"Okay. This way, get ready to go out and wait, so ask me."

That's what Ray says, Miranda leaves the room with her head down.

When I drop him off behind that, Ray sits straight on the couch.

I said I'd be ready to go out, but Ray doesn't have to be particularly prepared to go out.

With the dragon robe on, we can go straight out.

At this time of year when it snows, you should normally be warmer, but if you have a dragon robe with simple air conditioning features, you don't have to worry about that area.

Waiting like that, long enough...... Miranda will eventually come back.

"I asked my husband, but he said Seto wouldn't mind with me. However, you said you would attach a single knight so residents wouldn't be confused, but would you still mind?

Ray had no particular objection to the words, and he nodded back.
