Tensei Shite Inaka de Slowlife wo Okuritai

"... what happened?"

I was taken between the generals on the top floor of Kagura Castle, and was in front of Kagura Gouki, the general in charge of Kagura.

The general, Gouki, moans with his head.

In a nutshell, Kinushisa explained that I wanted to quit, and Gouki-san was like this.

The reason is undoubtedly me, but I can't do anything this time.

I just wait for Gouki to cool down.

After a while, he finally asks whether he has been cleared up with Gouki's head.

"Kojiro, isn't what Kinushisa says true?"

"Yes, definitely."

"Are you not joking like your usual habit? Returning your sword means you will never be able to work at this castle again."

"Yes, I am prepared"

When I tell you, Gouki looks confused.

"... That's right? I guess it's a word that just came out after a little fight with Kinugasa? I just got out of my mouth and just couldn't get back?" Neither I nor Kinugasa is that demon. If we withdraw then we are angry

I- "

"No, that's not the case. I said it on my own. There are no words."

"Did you tell your mother, Sakuraka?"

"... I don't say."

When I answered so, Takeshi-sama expressed a very reassured expression.

You probably think that if you get your mother to persuade you now, it will be in time.

"But I'm no longer a child. It doesn't matter if I don't get my mother's permission."

"No, the eldest son of the Inaba family has said that he will quit the swordsman. It is not a problem to proceed without talking to Sakuraka."

I said that I didn't have to call my mother, but Gouki-san will call her at will and stop her.

"Hey, someone. Call me Sakuraka."

Instruct the swordsman Takeshi-sama to call and call his mother.

Pichi, troublesome.

According to Al's advice, I was thinking of stopping my job first and reporting to my mother an ex post facto.

Well, good. Here, getting permission from my mother will make my later actions smoother.

There is no conversation between the generals, and only the sound of the rubbing of clothes by Gouki's poor shaking echoes.

Are you in a hurry?

Compared to that, my heart is very bright. Oh, I'm looking forward to researching Unadon now.

I want to practice handling eels more and handle kitchen knives as smoothly as Al.

And you have to start making your own secret sauce. He told me that stewing the eel bones gave a good taste.

We have to complete a true una bowl as soon as possible. And let him eat and this time I'm going to make a difference.

Just imagine the surprise of Al and Rumba, you can feel fun.

Imagining such a future, two signs came from the hallway.

"Takeshi-san brought Sakuraden"

"Um, put"

When Takeki tells Takaage, the swordsman slowly opens the sliding door.

Then a woman came in from there.

It has long, glossy black hair reminiscent of the raven's wet feathers, and its skin is as white as snow. But his gaze is horribly sharp, like an exaggerated sword.

Inaba cherry blossoms. Although she is a commoner woman, she is made up of a single sword and is a woman and my mother who competed with her father, the head of the Inaba family.

Although his personality seems calm at first glance, his nature is fierce.

Because they are strict with themselves, they are strict with others.

I've been learning swords since I was little and I know that well.

The mother sat at the angle of Mr. Gouki, and when he bowed, he asked in a polite tone.

"Takeshi-sama, is it true that Kojiro quit the job, saying something stupid?"

"Oh, I've been told I'll return my sword."

The moment she answered, her mother shook her shoulders.

Oh, now I'm angry. You can understand your mother's feelings without looking at her expression.

"I'm sorry, my bad breath. I'll persuade you now ..."

My mother gives an apology to Gouki and turns her back to me.

I am afraid of my mother's sharp gaze. However, if you are embarrassed here, you may think that you are whining without intention as usual.

I scold my weakened heart and stare at my mother's eyes.

I'm going to complete the Una Don that I learned from Al.

"Okay again, Kojiro. He doesn't bother Gouki with saying that he wants to quit his job. Let alone a joke, he returns the general's sword ... apparently this is not a joke."

Then, she cut down on the words she was trying to make, as if she felt something determined.

Was.

"That's right, my mother. This time, I say that I will quit the swordsman with a determined will. It's too rude to return the general's sword without determination."

There is no reason to be able to say a joke, such as returning the sword given by the general. My enthusiasm for work is rotten, but my roots are not so rotten.

"... What was there?"

"I met an irreplaceable friend and found what I really wanted to do."

"Thing you want to do……"

Al understands the suffering of work deeply as a child and even teaches us what a bowl is.

Furthermore, Rumba pushed her back without mocking, even if I said that I would resign recklessly.

The encounter of these two una bowls changed my values and found the meaning of living.

"What is Kojiro doing?"

When I remember my time with them, Takeshi-sama asked me quietly.

My mother is looking seriously to listen to my words.

Somewhere in the room where tension is growing, I breathe in and speak out clearly.

"To make an eel bowl and open a shop."

"" "Una bowl?" "

Takeshi-sama, Kinukasa, leaning her head listening to my words.

Huh, no wonder. It's probably only me, Al and Rumba in this country that knows Unadon.

"What is an Una-don?"

"Yeah, it's a bowl dish where you eat eel, apply soy sauce-based sauce and eat it with rice."

"Hun, what to say is that the eel is not so much eaten that it has a lot of bones and smells. It wouldn't be possible to eat it on rice."

Listening to my words, Kinugasa, who was sitting like a figurine a while ago, came to say hate.

This baldness is strange because it can be annoying even with ordinary words.

However, the words of Kinushisa are the recognition of eels in Kagura. Until recently, I would have been there too.

But I know it is not true.

"That's not the case. With the right recipe, even that eel turns into a delicious dish. I knew it!"

"Don't hesitate. You can't have such knowledge and skill as a swordsman."

"Well, let's make a delicious eel dish here, Unadon!"

In the Kinugasa laughing with my nose, I stand up and declare vigorously.

If you don't know the charm of Puna-don, just eat it and let it be understood.

"Hey, now it's time to stop Kojiro quitting, not just whether you can make the eel delicious-"

"Okay, let's do this. If Kojiro says that he and I can be recognized in eel dishes, we'll allow him to quit the swordsman."

While Takeki-san was enjoying the place, his mother suddenly said that.

Surprising. I thought my mother's personality would shout and bite the sermon even in front of the general, but what kind of wind would this be?

"Hey, cherry blossoms !?"

"Takeshi-sama, as we knew before, there is no motivation in our silliness, even though he has the ability to do so. It is unsuitable for such a person to serve as a heir, Shuhei's escort and bundling swordsmen It is. "

Yes, really.

Aside from the escort and guidance of Osamu, it is really impossible to bundle his subordinates.

Just because you have the power of a sword, you can be pushed up to a higher position. The ability as a swordsman and the ability to command and coordinate people will be different.

It would have been easier if it were just a swordsman.

"... Well, there are certainly some complaints from some lower people."

As Kinushisa says, some people may see through my attitude or complain. That said, there are some things that depend on your position and skills.

I think it would be nice if there was someone who was more motivated and able to guide everyone correctly than I was doing by myself.

"Ununun ... is that eel dish worthwhile until you quit the swordsman?"

"Of course. Once the Una-don is completed, Kagura's food culture will be able to go one step further."

Citizens must be delighted if they can eat delicious eels because they couldn't know how to cook them because of the large number. Definitely a food culture advance. If I could contribute, it would be well worth leaving my job.

"I told you, then, as Sakuraka says, try to make una bowls and other things to prove it. If Kojiro decides that it is worth leaving the swordsman, he will resign."

"Hah"

Thus, I decided to make an eel bowl to quit my job.
