"Huh, it's warm to my feet."

Muttering prone at the table, Dad Nord coughed.

This deliberate gesture is often used when Father Nord wants to hear.

I guess I look up and look at Dad Nord.

Although she was fascinated by the warmth of the kotatsu, she has a serious expression.

Strange. Especially I am not doing anything bad today.

The matter of the battle pencil is also a big thing, but it should be safe to proceed without any problems.

"... Al, are you going to sell this again?"

I wondered what she was doing so seriously, but Dad Nord was worried about the sale.

Certainly, it would be anxious if you could give such a thing after the battle pencil.

"No, I don't think at all. I just put it in for comfort in my home or my home.

"Okay. That was good."

He was relieved to hear my answer, and Dad Nord eased himself without asking more.

I'm not making something to sell anything.

If you have too much trouble, you should be able to enjoy only yourself, your family, and your friends.

"Oh, they're really gathered at a small table."

That's when Bartoro, a cook, comes in.

Put your hands in the red thick mittens and hold the big pot with both hands.

The pot smells very good, but I was worried about the strangely cute mittens. Did you get it from someone, or did you buy it yourself? A mystery.

Mina puts a pot on the kotatsu, and Bartolo puts a big pot on it.

When I got the lid open, there were lots of ingredients shaking around.

"Today's hot pot is a chicken stock soup.

"Oh! Looks delicious!"

Many chicken wings were floating in the pot.

The steam smells very good, probably because the flavor of the chicken is dissolved.

When I smelled, my appetite sprang up.

When Mina served the tableware, her mother picked up the ladle and began sipping the ingredients.

"What do Nord want to eat?"

"I'll order chicken wings, cabbage and mushrooms."

Dad Nord said so, and Elna gave them away.

"Hey, I'll give away Al too."

"Oh? Unusual?"

"... Apparently Al doesn't want to eat a pot."

Oops. I suddenly slipped my mouth on an unusual sight.

"I'm a lie, I'm sorry."

When she apologized as if she were flowing, her mother took a bowl just to help her.

"what do you want to eat?"

"A lot of chicken wings, Chinese cabbage and white onions"

"I'm still bitter"

A bowl with plenty of ingredients in front of you.

Looks very delicious.

"Please ask me too"

When Elna receives Elinora's bowl, she walks silently around the ingredients.

"Wait a minute. Why don't you ask me anything?"

"If you ask Elinora, you're only saying that you have more meat, right?"

"That's not the case ..."

Elinora unnie said, but her eyes were completely swimming.

I must have said, "A lot of chicken wings!"

"Wow, lots of vegetables"

The bowl returned to Elinora was filled with vegetables.

I'm gonna do it myself after the second cup. I guess my mother's kindness to eat more vegetables now.

"What does Silvio want to eat?"

"Chinese cabbage and shiitake mushroom, leek and white leek are abundant"

"Is chicken wings good?"

"I'll eat later"

It is free to eat meat first or later.

However, the number decreases as it gets later.

If you look at the face of a ferocious sister next to you, its future is easy to predict.

"I'll put in Elna's share."

"Thank you"

Dad Nord is the last of her mother, Erna.

For efficiency, it's quicker for Elna to take care of herself, but I'm glad that this kind of care.

Dad Nord handed the ingredients for the pot with a ladle and handed it to her mother.

It seems that chicken wings, white leeks, shiitake mushrooms, Chinese cabbage, carrots, etc. are evenly contained, but there is a lot of chicken wings hidden behind Chinese cabbage, so you can understand Elna's mother well It seems.

I noticed it but didn't say anything.

"Well, let's eat."

Elinora unnie took the first step when all of them were ready and Father Nord resonated.

"Hey!"

"Well, if you cool down a little, it will happen."

"Noisy"

Elinora unnie returned and sprayed chicken wings.

He wants to eat meat first.

I also want to eat Chinese cabbage first, but it must have accumulated a lot of calories when the dashi is tight.

Anyway, I'm in a warm kotatsu now. No need to rush.

Blow out and slowly soak the broth.

"Oh, good chicken broth is out."

"It seems like you can drink as much as you want"

Sylvio and Nord seem to be satisfied with the broth soaked with chicken broth.

The umami of the chicken and the sweetness of the vegetables were firmly in the soup.

Sip the soup and let it cool with your breath and bring the cabbage to your mouth.

Hmmm, the soup tastes good.

But this crunchy crunch is very irresistible. I love the Chinese cabbage in the pot because the satisfaction is very strong though it is a vegetable.

The white onion was also soft and the onion sweetness was firm.

Chicken wings are very soft and the skin is very pruned. There was a taste and salty taste when I ate it, and it was an accent of a light taste pot.

"Delicious than hot pots I ate in summer"

"Oh, Speaking of which, Al, Unnie and three of us chilled the room with ice magic and ate the pot."

"Did you do that?"

"You don't eat hot pots in the first place, right?"

When Mr. Silvio recalled, Dad Nord and Elna said they were stunned.

It may be stupid, but that's a good thing.

Eat ingredients, drink soup and repeat.

Eat a hot pot and get warm from the inside of the body.

This blissful combo is amazing.

Eat the pot and relax. It's relaxing in kotatsu.

"Erinora unnie, too much"

"Well, yes?"

By the time I reached the second cup on my behalf, Elinora had already entered the fourth cup.

Considering the still second cup of Silvio, you should save.

Erinora unnie put down the ball for the moment.

However, Elinora is 13 years old. I'm a full-year-old and I exercise every day, so there's no way I want to eat more than we do.

"Well, Bartolo-san told me to bring extra ingredients!"

Mina arrived at the right time when I was thinking of asking Bartolo for additional ingredients.

Mina's plate has a lot of additional ingredients. This includes, of course, chicken wings.

"Just right!"

"As expected, Bartolo"

"I told you to leave it to Alfleet!"

……Hey.

Well, because it is not a gas stove, you need to bring the pot to the kitchen to stew the ingredients.

It is easy to stew in this place because some ingredients still remain, but it is not clear.

"Yes, you just have to boil it. Mina, add the ingredients."

"Yes!"

Mina put the ingredients from the plate into the pot, and I psychically floated the pot and set the fireball under it.

There is a pot at a slightly higher position, but if you lean out properly, you can get the ingredients.

"What do you do, Alfleet?"

"What's good about Elinora and Silvio?"

"rice!"

"I can do that too"

Elvira's insistence, Sylvio said with a bitter smile.

"So, with rice"

"understood!"

"What is squeezing?"

As Mina left, Mother Elna and Father Nord leaned mysteriously.

"Because only the ingredients do not fill the stomach, put rice or spaghetti in the last remaining soup."

"I see.

"Apart from spaghetti, what about putting rice in the soup?"

"Well, then Elna's mother is missing."

"Wait. I don't say I don't eat."

He seems to eat himself while pointing out.

Well, putting rice in the soup wouldn't sound very good.

The rice grains fall apart and float, and they don't look good either.

However, such a thing is powerless in front of the taste of shime.

Until the ingredients in the pot are cooked, everyone will eat what is in their bowl.

Then, when the fire goes through the added ingredients, everyone eats the ingredients again.

After eating with five people, it disappeared in no time, leaving only amber soup in which the broth of ingredients was condensed.

"Then, let's put in the rice."

When Mina put the rice there, she mixed lightly and gave everyone a shot.

I, Elinora and Silvio, who are already accustomed to experiencing the deliciousness of shime, immediately took action.

"Yeah, delicious!"

"The taste of the soup is in the rice!"

After seeing Elder brothers Silvio and Elinora eating deliciously, Elna and Elder Nord began to eat.

"Oh, delicious."

"I can do this"

However, noticing the taste, Mother Elna and Father Nord started eating too.

And in a blink of an eye, everyone was full.

"Well, it was delicious. Did you eat a little too much?"

"The last thing you have to eat is that."

"It's delicious enough for shime, right?"

I can't stop staking the pot. Even if you are full, you eat.

And lying on a kotatsu when you're full is even better.
