Bartolo and I work together in the kitchen to make lunch for Elinora unnie.

"Then, I already have a tataki, so Bartolo cuts it roughly with a knife."

"Oh, leave it to me."

When I say so, Bartolo cuts the tataki with a kitchen knife.

Bartolo hits a kitchen knife with a delicate yet delicate hand. Ton-ton-ton and the regular sound are evidence that you are used to kitchen knives. It feels good to listen.

While listening to Bartolo's melody, I put the sesame seeds in a frying pan and fry it lightly, and dip the kelp that I got with Kagura for soup in water.

Then wash the green onions and cut into small pieces.

When the flavor of sesame is moderate, lift it from a frying pan to a small plate and return to cutting green onions.

After all, the sound of my kitchen knife and the sound of Bartolo's kitchen knife are very different. After all, it will be different to the extent that it is bitter.

"I shaved a bonito, shaved. Is this rough enough?"

When I was cutting green onions, Bartolo showed me a bonito that I thought was over.

"Yeah, if you make it too fine, it will reduce your response to eating. Will you grate down next?"

"all right"

When I asked, Bartolo immediately began to grate the ginger.

Then, chop the green onions until lunch, and after the ginger is finished, add rice, chopped bonito, green onions, ginger, roasted sesame seeds, a little salt, and a little salt.

"Good, good. Mix well."

"... I'll tell you, but if you mix it, you'll hold the shaven."

"Oh, after all?"

I was wondering if Bartolo would hold everything as it was, but would I still have to hold it?

While I'm thinking of that, a bowl of skipjack rice is completed in the bowl. Just the right salt and plum as the rice grains are slightly crushed.

"Okay, all you have to do is make a rice ball."

After washing my hands properly, I put bonito rice on the palm and put it in the shape of a rice ball.

Roll to use all of your palms and apply evenly. Then put the triangle on the plate.

"You can easily tell which rice ball you made."

"Hahaha, the size of the palm is different between me and the shaven."

The size of the rice ball on the plate is obvious. The rice balls I made were overwhelmingly small.

Well, it's not possible to hold it with the hand of a seven-year-old child.

While spending a little more time than Bartolo, I carefully hold the bonito onigiri and make it.

After a while, the rice balls were filled to fill the large plate.

"Okay, this is enough"

"... No, maybe a little more"

"Huh? Is there so much onigiri in your lunch?"

There are more than twenty of them on the platter alone. With this alone, Erinora's lunch can be used for family lunch.

"First of all, you have to make a lot of lunch boxes for Miss because they exchange and behave."

"Oh, that's okay. I sometimes split it into Emma's sister and Sheila."

It's a delicious Bartolo dish. If you heard that you used sea fish, Emma wouldn't help but want Sheila.

"Huh? I guess there's a lot left over if I pack about 15?"

"Look behind"

When Bartolo tells him, he turns around and sees Mina looking into her face from the entrance.

"I see. There's a maid for it."

"Well, I'll make it slowly later."

The moment Bartoro says, Mina looks shocked.

The maids always eat lunch after we finish. Inevitably this will be a deposit.

"That's two of them ... no, one is fine! I guess you could eat them first?"

Mina whispers from the entrance as to whether she wants to eat right away.

"I'm saying, but what do you do?"

"... Well, it would be okay if only about one?-We will taste it in the future."

When I leave the judgment, Bartolo scratches her forehead.

Although Bartolo still feels a little sweet for Mina, we also taste it anyway, and it's just a matter of adding one more person.

It is Bartoro that will increase the production of rice balls later.

"Why?"

"Ah! Thank you!"

Looking back, Mina watches her surroundings and then enters with a glowing expression.

I'm quite used to checking around.

People say they will be careless when the joy comes out.

"Isn't the shaved one enough?"

"Yes, I'll boil it lightly and season it."

While Bartolo is preparing the plate, I will heat the water soaked in kelp.

Then take out the kelp just before boiling and season with mirin and lightly soy sauce.

When I tasted it in a small plate, I could taste the gentle taste of kelp soup and the taste of mellow soy sauce.

"Oh, I can keep drinking this broth all the time."

Delicious soup does not pass through your throat like a drink. Kombu is doing a good job at all.

When the broth is completed, pour the broth into the bowl prepared by Bartolo. After that, when you want to eat, just put it here and eat.

When I was preparing the broth, the kitchen was already lined with simple chairs and drinks, and Bartolo and Mina were sitting ready.

I lift the bowl by psychic, sit down on the chair, and put the bowl on the table.

"Okay, then let's eat."

"Yes!"

"Oh!"

When I say that, Mina and Bartoro respond cheerfully and reach for the bonito onigiri on the platter.

Lift the rice ball with a little warmth by hand and bite it.

The taste of bonito spreading in the mouth and the slightly fragrant ginger flavor. Not to mention the compatibility of rice and bonito, moderate salt and ginger provide a fresh boost.

It is relatively easy to eat, even in hot summer.

"After all, skipjack goes well with rice."

"Oh, good salt."

Three people are biting a bonito onigiri, and Mina suddenly opens her mouth as if she returned to me.

"Ah! Alfleet! Doesn't it look delicious even if you add sweet and spicy soy sauce like the grilled rice ball you made before?"

"Sure, I think it's delicious to apply soy sauce on the surface and bake it."

"But skipjack goes well with soy sauce.

Bartolo, who hears Mina and my words, stands up and starts preparing soy sauce.

We then baked the bonito onigiri and started to bake the surface.

I think it's okay even after you finish eating it, but do you care about the taste as a cook?

Me and Mina eat the salty bonito rice with ham and ham while smelling the savory smell of soy sauce.

"Oh, the burning smell of soy sauce is violent. If this smell drifts around in the evening, I can't get to work ..."

"When I'm hungry, this smell comes when it comes."

If a good smell drifts, even if you feel like rumbling in the room, you often can not stand it and get down to the dining room.

Sleeping and laziness are important, but food is also important.

And just after we finished eating one, Bartolo brought a baked bonito rice ball with soy sauce.

"Okay, I'm done!"

"Wow! That looks delicious!"

When Mina reached out with a smile, I kept the rice ball on the plate.

"Huh? Isn't one Mina enough?"

"Oh! Do not be mean. Alfleet. It's a lifetime request!"

Hey, can I use my lifetime request in such a place?

"Well, that's okay, shaved. I'll make as many as you like later, so that's fine."

"Bah, Bartolo-san ...!"

Mina has a glittering expression in the reliable Bartolo's words.

It feels like you are looking at your pet with your owner.

whatever. I just want to play with Mina a bit, not mean

And

When the dish is placed on the table, the rice balls will be picked up as quickly as Mina's scavenging.

"Hey! Hot!"

"Hah, that's because I just baked it!"

Bartolo laughs at the hot Mina.

"It was dangerous. I was approached by a delicious scent and reached for my hand."

"No, it's sloppy. Somehow I just feel like I'm in such eyes ..."

It may be because Mina always acts first. I'm not intentionally stuck.

Blow a lot of air to cool down, and I took a bite of grilled rice balls with bonito coated with soy sauce.

The surface is crisp by being baked, and the inside part collapses with holori. The fragrant soy sauce taste and bonito match no more, and sesame and green onions secretly support it.

"Wow ... this is good too. The outside is crisp."

"Ah, as Mina said, the compatibility was outstanding."

Salt and bonito match well, but soy sauce is also a royal road.

We eat bonito onigiri with dondon.

"Oops, so we have some soup, so we have to try it again."

"Oh! You said that it's delicious if you add soup!"

It was just about to end without eating soup.

"Then, let's cool down with a little ice magic."

"please"

Ice magic is used on the bowl containing the soup stock in the center. Instead of freezing, slowly apply cold air to lower the temperature of the broth.

Then taste the dashi a little with a spoon.

"Yeah, it feels good and cold."

"Thank you! The tea bowl is shining and it feels good!"

"The ice magic of a shaven is as convenient as ever. With an ice magic tool, it takes time to cool down and it is difficult to make fine adjustments."

Fufufu, that's the privilege of those who can use ice magic.

In the future, it would be best if everyone could use it.

It's more like bonito onigiri than that.

I drop the half-finished onigiri into cold stock and loosen it with a spoon.

The rice balls that absorbed the cold soup broke down while leaving a crisp surface.

Spoon it and carry it to your mouth.

Taste of cold kelp soup spreading in mouth. A bonito grilled rice ball that crumbles in it. The feel that the rice and ingredients were falling apart, but the taste was gently wrapped in kelp soup. Even the taste of the soy sauce, even the savory one, is perfectly harmonized.

““ ………… ””

In the kitchen, only the sound of soup stock and the sound of moving the spoon reverberate, and no one speaks. People lose their words when they eat delicious food. This is the situation now.

I'm just crazy about eating, not spoiling the obvious words that it is delicious.

While enjoying the taste of soy sauce and bonito, scrape it with cold broth.

This is a happy meal in this hot season.

Bartoro and Mina finish eating at the same time, and I put the bowl on the table late.

Then sigh and say a word.

"" "Well, it was delicious."

There is no more words to repeat. It was the most emotional voice today.

"Today's lunch and lunch are decided by this."

It's not a gorgeous or feminine lunch, but it's likely to be misled by a brand of sea fish that isn't in Coriat village. I mean, I wo n’t complain because it ’s so delicious.

"Oh, I don't want to pack it in Miss's lunch box right now. Bad, shaved, can you cool the stock in this pot and put it in a water bottle?"

"Good. I don't have much time because I made and tasted a lot."

I really had more time, but baking with soy sauce, and talking with three people, and tasting, passed a lot of time.

It will be a time when you cannot prepare and deliver your lunch early.

"Oh, I can help you put it in your box."

Bartoro and Mina put the bonito onigiri, bonito steak and vegetables for Aya one after another in a large lunch box, and I cool the dashi and put it in a water bottle.

"Then I'll take you to Elinora!"

"Oh, let's put this in."

"What is this?"

"Dashio, frozen fruit juice, chilled towels, etc., to make sure your lunch doesn't hurt."

Because the contents of the lunch box are damaged in summer. You have to keep it fresh.

"I see! I'll go!"

"Yes"

Mina leaves the kitchen with her basket as Bartolo and I look off.

"... I'm good at taking care of my shaved girl. It's usually the opposite."

"No, hungry Elinora unnie isn't like that, so she's going to be more ferocious than usual, so I have to deal with it delicately."
