Tensei Shite Inaka de Slowlife wo Okuritai

"I'm Kojiro, I brought you eel dishes."

After waiting for a while, Kojiro came. Apparently he brought eel dishes.

"Get in"

"excuse me"

When I allowed the room, Kojiro and three booth clerks came in.

There is a tray in the hand of the booth occupant, and each has a bowl of rice.

It smells faintly fragrant.

What is this scent that stimulates the asexual stomach? Is it a soy sauce seasoning? I feel a little sweetness in the fragrance.

The source of the scent is definitely that bowl.

If you haven't opened the lid yet, the smell is like this ... I was afraid what would happen if I opened the lid.

To be honest, I heard that the dish was made with eels, and I didn't expect it, but this might be surprising.

"Well, I guess it was deeply seasoned to deceive the eel of the eel."

"You can tell it by eating it."

Kojiro plays the expression of Kinukasa like disgust with a generous expression.

Looking at Kojiro's unchanging attitude, Kinugasa snapped his nose somehow uninteresting.

The person talked about the taste of the eel, but is he so confident?

The fragrance and attitude of Kojiro and good expectations increase.

When the booth lays a tatami mat in front of us, he puts a bowl of rice there.

When the booth glanced, Kojiro opened his mouth.

"This is an eel dish I learned from my friend-Unadon"

The bowl lid was opened with Kojiro's confident voice.

Warm steam rises and explosive aroma spreads indoors.

"What !? What is this fragrant smell ...?!"

Smell that is incomparable with the previous one.

Just smelling it, the stimulus was transmitted from the brain and the stomach, and the stomach rang as if howling.

Don is rice that is a familiar staple of Kagura people. On top of that was a flat fish-like fillet, which seemed to be a soy sauce-based sauce.

"Is this flat thing eel?"

Sakuraka asks the question I was thinking.

This brown, brown-colored fish ... is it really an eel?

"Yes, we handled eels."

"I like that slimy fish, and it was cut flat like this."

As Sakuraka says, eels are slim and very hard to cut.

To be able to handle it very easily means that even those who do not cook can understand how difficult the technique is.

"By putting in hot water just before boiling, the eel can smell with the slime. Of course, I practiced ..."

Kojiro shows his words in a calm manner.

"Is that the teaching of a friend or something?"

"Yes, I can't even reach his feet yet."

Hmm, don't worry about your friend who taught Kojiro how to cook eels. Are you a well-known cook, knowing reasonable recipes?

"Then, please, before it cools down."

"U, um"

Inspired by Kojiro, I stop thinking and concentrate on the dish in front of me.

Take the chopsticks and bowl and pick up the eels.

Eel that smells like grilled or burned, and has many bones. Sauce looks really delicious, but what is the point here?

Yeah, Kojiro showed the man and cooked it. It would be rude to hesitate to come here.

I take the eel to my mouth.

"Yea soft"

When you bite it, the outside is crisp and the inside is soft.

"I can't feel the smell of it."

I was surprised at the cherry blossoms that I also spoke, and opened my eyes.

Yes, this eel dish is very different from the fishy, hard eel dishes we have eaten in the past. There is no fishy odor or hardness and almost no small bones.

The more you bite, the more eel fat comes out and you can feel the original taste of the eel.

And above all, the compatibility with this sauce is wonderful. I've been eating a lot of grilled fish, but this is the first time I can feel so powerful and delicious.

"Sure, it's a medium eel dish, but to this extent-"

Kinugasa puts the bowl and says, Kojiro slowly puts his hand forward.

"No, the taste of Unadon is not such a thing. It is only completed by eating meat and rice at the same time."

"at the same time?"

"Yes, please scratch it with rice."

Kojiro says, Kinushisa eats eel and rice in a calm manner.

"U, delicious--"

Kinukasa hurries up and closes her mouth, but it's too late.

Looking at Kinashika's surprised expression, Kojiro laughed with a relaxed face.

What kind of taste is that you don't have a good feeling for Kojiro and make the dry and reputed Kinugasa growl involuntarily?

As Kojiro says, eat eel with rice.

At that moment, it seemed that an electric shock ran on my body.

――Rice is not enough.

I put the rice in my mouth as if I was scratching it.

In addition, the spicy sauce is soaked in the rice and it is the best.

Savory and fatty eel and sweet and spicy sauce. They went brilliantly with the rice.

no doubt. This dish is sublimated by scraping it with rice.

This is the essence of una bowl.

While I was crazy and eating, I realized that the inside of the bowl was empty.

Sorry for that and put the rice bowl on the bed.

He suddenly stared at the other two and was eating faster than I did.

"If eels were eaten with the right recipe, were they so delicious fish?"

What a natural thing that you did not notice this and did not eat eel.

"Rather than deceive it with the flavor of the sauce, it was processed properly and brought out the eel's deliciousness."

"No, my roasted eels are still far from my friend's roasted eels, and this sauce was also given by my friend for research ..."

Kojiro humbles out a small vase from her pocket, despite Sakuraka praising her.

While it can be said that this is delicious enough, is there still a way forward?

"But I'll repeat my experience and research and show off my friend's taste! And then, I'll open a shop and spread the deliciousness of Unadon! That's my dream now!"

Kojiro proclaims with strong eyes.

Kojiro, who had been washed away around Pia, talked so hard about his dream ...

Because I have seen Kojiro for a long time, I feel my eyes get hot.

"But it's only after I've resigned to fulfill my dream. If I don't get over here, it won't come true."

Kinukasa's words turn everyone's gaze at once.

"Kojiro has suggested enough potential flavors. Everyone sublimes the eels that have been abandoned to their tastes. Eels can be taken in large quantities in rivers there. Even poor people,

There is a great deal of food that can be eaten, and food culture advances. We can expect such achievements. Let's acknowledge it. ''

"I agree with Gouki's opinion."

"Now !? Are you both sane?"

Kinugasa is rushed over whether the decision of me and Sakuraka was so surprising.

"I won't admit the eagle! I don't think this una bowl has such a good taste!"

"It's unsightly, Kinugasa"

I was angry at Kinugasa who did not approve of it in my personality even though I was served a possible dish so far.

"What do you do without acknowledging what you have said so far about cooking and your determination as a man? If this isn't allowed, I have to cut off all the new winds coming up It is Kag

Will it be a big stagnation for La? "

While giving a more dignified voice than usual, check with a glare. She threatens to kick off all the policies and policies that Kinushisa brought in.

I don't really like this behavior, but there are things I need to do as a general.

If Sakuraka has helped me as a mother, I will help as a master who has served for many years.

"Yeah, but now that he quits ..."

"Muh? Is Kojiro a swordsman? I need to adjust the reorganization of troops, but wouldn't there be a big problem if I got out of there? I'm also managing troops and doing paperwork such as books. I don't know ... "

Speaking of that, Kinukasa's expression turned blue.

I noticed that and asked Kinusasa.

Then, it turned out that Kinushiro and the people around him were pressing on Kojiro for what they should have done. Troop management, records, books, supplies ... It's not the job of a man at the very top of a swordsman.

And Kojiro who heard the truth …….

"Huh?-In other words, have I been forced to work at Kinugasa-dono for many years?"

I was more indignant than ever.

It's quiet, just as opposed to when Sakura got angry, but she's wearing a deep kill.

Even if I'm not directly killed, I seem to be surprised and put my hand on my sword.

"Well, well, calm down Kojiro"

“…………”

When I can see it, Kojiro can turn her eyes like a dead fish.

I can't say that I understand my feelings, and I'd rather want to cut them, but I want you to hold them here.

After waiting for a while, Kojiro finally got a sword-like atmosphere.

"In other words, is it possible for Kojiro to escape from the circumstances of such a handover?"

"……Yes"

Training as a swordsman, nurturing subordinates, guarding and training Shuichi, and even doing paperwork …… Kojiro would reasonably want to quit his job. With such an unreasonable job, you can't stop quitting.

I guess that because Kojiro wanted to quit like everyday language, he neglected to grasp such a work environment.

But isn't it worthwhile to make such a regret?

"Kojiro, I admit you're leaving the swordsman, but will you do a little handover work before that? That could be a big mess in future work."

"Wow, the words Al really said came ..."

When I asked so, Kojiro was not reluctant or reluctant, and had a surprised expression somewhere.

"Hmm? Al?"

"Well, no. But what does Gouki ask for?"

It is the role of the lord to take over the mistakes of the Minister, but in this case I don't think I should ask.

"Inaba-dono, please, please let the water flow so far, and finally help this irresistible boss to wipe out his blunt butt ...!"

"... Hmm, what happened?"

Kinushiro mutters as he falls in love, as Kinushisa looks down.

Kojiro also has a good personality. However, considering the past treatment, Kinukasa's palms are also terrible. Of course, you can't nod immediately.

"I'm in trouble if I quit here!"

At the moment Kinushisa said that, Kojiro was just waiting to say that he was waiting.

"Did you use such an important person like a rag?"

It is not only Kinugasa that was surprised by Kojiro's dialogue. Neither me nor Sakura could involuntarily speak.

“Does Kinugasa-dono have a propensity to irritate or break the more important ones?”

"Well, no, no ..."

"I don't understand why I've been treated like that, even though I'm a person who would be embarrassed if I quit. It's not strange to ask someone who has done that kind of thing now. Is it

Right? "

What is it? Kojiro's eyes are very dark.

It's as if you were carrying many grudges, not alone, praising the dark and deep colors like an abyss.

What exactly happened to Kojiro?

To be honest, it's scary to talk to Kojiro today, but if you don't move here, it will be even more difficult.

"... Oh, hey, Kojiro."

"I know. I'll keep it here."

When he shouted, Kojiro exhaled deeply and restored his eye color.

Then slowly walk here,

"Takeshi, I will return this sword."

The sword that was hanging on his waist was presented to me.

Looking for a long time, a subordinate who was cute like a child returns a sword. That made me sadly sad.

However, if you do not accept this, Kojiro can not move forward. I just give my sword to me as a general. Probably not half-hearted.

I receive the presented sword with Gashiri.

"Oh, Kojiro Inaba. Well, you've served me for a long time."

Kojiro bows deeply and stands up.

"Thanks for pushing my back, Mom. And I'll ask for Kaede."

"... Yes, of course."

Sakuraka's reply seemed insidious. However, when I looked closely at her expression, she seemed very happy.

"Kinugasa-dono, the documents for taking over are in my private room in the castle.

Kojiro left my castle.

Oh, what happened? The hole that Kojiro missed is large and may be confusing. My head hurts when I think about it.

But, it wasn't so strange and bad.
