Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Lesson 615: First Cooking

Set up a light cooking area (portable kitchen) near the fire and remove the parent-and-child knife that has never been used.

What? I'm using something interesting again.

At that time, T-1, who was just passing by, looked at a large and small set of knives and raised his eyebrows.

"Do you know him? I bought it at the Mizuhanome store.

For the time being, there must be a restaurant where the concubines did it.

T-1 is talking about the mobile sales held at the "Feast of Myriad Nights".

I am proud of the opportunity for managers and commanders to interact directly with the Explorer.

The fully manual [Full Manual Operation] that was used there aroused the interest of many investigators. The "parent-child knife" can grant the administrator authority (command) even if it is not complete. "

"... I mean?"

T-1 bites me to the neck and comes to a conclusion.

Instead of weakening skill assistance, individual discretion becomes stronger. It doesn't mean you have more freedom to do production activities than usual. "

I see.

"Parent-child knife" is a special cooking tool that allows players with no skills to cook, provided they are accompanied by a skilled cook.

Because they don't have the skills originally, the assist is less intense, and it seems that the proportion of manual operations will increase.

In other words, you can demonstrate Letty's abilities to the fullest!

Lettie interrupted me while I was listening.

It seems that she was on cooking duty today.

It seems that she also bought the ingredients, as we discussed in advance, and she has a wooden box.

Well, that's not true. I'm looking forward to a good one. "

That said, T-1 walked towards the tent.

During this culinary showdown, Kamil and T-1 were ordered to serve as judges, and it was stipulated in the regulation that a plate of Inari sushi should be made for T-1.

“Leave it to me, I'll cook you a dish that will make your cheeks fall!”

Letty was already motivated enough with the Chef's Apron.

I was surprised that I had even deliberately equipped myself with skill aids for this day.

"Letty's cooking." I'm not good at being so hard, so don't do it. "

"I'm also a snack, so it's a little too voluminous..."

As opposed to Letty, who starts to prepare happily, Lacto and Toka watching over it are in a state of terrible fighting.

If you look at her usual meal landscape, you'll see how she feels, but lettie's cheeks are swollen with frustration.

“Excuse me, I'll make sure Ledge and everyone else can eat a delicious meal with peace of mind. I've been practicing for this day."

Did you make the practice in real life?

When I asked in surprise, she nodded firmly.

Although FPOs are games, they are one of the most realistic virtual reality titles.

Therefore, even if you take one dish, there will be many places that go to reality, but I didn't think you would even practice in advance.

"No, it was pretty tough." First of all, I had a hard time letting you use the cooking area..... "

Letty tells him as she starts cooking.

As we heard that, we watched her grip the knife with both hands and cut Dandan and the carrot forcefully.

_/_/_/_/_/

"Young lady!? What kind of luggage is that...?"

Anna, who was waiting for her husband to come home later than usual, finally looked at her standing behind the open door and unexpectedly let out a voice of surprise.

The guard behind the softly laughing girl was holding up a mismatched black clothes and a cashier bag printed with a pop logo in both hands.

Anna hurriedly suppressed her mouth and lowered her head, but the girl did not care and told the situation.

“I bought it at a nearby supermarket. I didn't know what I needed, so I got a little more.”

If only you had told me that, I would have gotten it all together.

It's a sudden action that doesn't look like a master who usually quietly likes embroidery and reading in his own room.

When I glanced at the contents of the cash register bag, it was full of ingredients such as vegetables and meat.

Anna picks up the package from the guard and recalls that her husband had been negotiating with his father for a few days and had been allowed to enter the cooking area.

"I don't usually cook, so what kind of wind is it?"

Walking down the long corridor, he asks the leading master why.

Since she was born, her age is sometimes close to that of other servants, and Anna is able to speak to her husband relatively intimately.

Technically speaking, the person Anna should say was the father of the girl in front of her, but for her already, the girl was the master.

I thought it would be better to cook as much as people do.

Haha

Was it influenced by the novel again?

Anna asked the girl who walked in front of her with her neck tilted.

Until a short while ago, she had a quiet, calm, and supple personality, but she has been exercising vigorously for some reason lately. As for the person on the side, I don't feel like getting injured, but I was rubbing my head without being able to stop it.

She said that she was "influenced by the adventurous novel that she had recently begun to reach out to," but Anna, who had been serving her side since she was young, had no choice but to think that it was not the core.

“Did something happen in virtual reality?”

"Nh!? That's not true, is it?" They only have access to virtual libraries, and hahaha. "

When I suddenly followed my instincts, my husband twitched his shoulders.

Anna's eyes intensified with suspicion at the obvious upset.

My husband was sometimes sick during his childhood, and he also had a long relationship with virtual reality. I spent most of my time in my own room asleep, and I spent a thoughtful time in the library, which boasts a huge amount of books in the provisional initial reality.

I thought I was still living that life, but wasn't that the case? After all, while accessing virtual reality, I don't even know what I'm doing from the outside to be asleep.

"Look, we've arrived at the cooking area." Let's make it quick. "

"Hah... I see."

I can't dispel my doubts, but I won't bother pursuing them with my master. Anna is a servant of Ichinose, and her husband also has a private one.

With that thought, she pushed the question into her chest, and Anna opened the door to the cooking area.

In the large silver room, white apron-clad chefs prepare dinner.

"Lady!? Why are you here...?"

"Ryo, chef." Actually, I heard from you yesterday. "

"Why don't you tell me that beforehand, you idiot!"

The big chef comes here in a hurry, smashing his apprentice's pale face.

"I'm sorry, Sasayama. I suddenly pushed you."

"Oh, no. I'm sorry we didn't hear from you." So, what can I do for you? ”

The head chef asks the reason for the husband's visit with a flat head.

In the first place, the kitchen is the domain of the servants, and the master rarely enters. If she shows up without warning, the cooking ground will be sharply tense.

"I was thinking of cooking a little. Could you lend me the corner of the kitchen?"

"Huh, cooking...? Well, that's fine."

Sasayama, the chef's chef, bursts out at the words of his master.

That's right, Anna lowered her eyebrows slightly and looked at her husband. I don't know if I know the feelings around me, but I am gently smiling.

“If you don't like dinner today, I'll change the menu right away.”

“No, I'm not saying that. I just wanted to cook for myself.”

Sasayama is even more confused by the words.

I had no choice. This girl standing in front of Anna has never had anything heavier than chopsticks in her life. You would not have seen the blood, or even washed the vegetables.

What are you going to make?

Perhaps because of the confusion, Sayama's words are getting a little jeopardy.

However, Anna's master replied regardless of it.

“I want to make curry rice. After all, when it comes to camping classics, it's curry, isn't it?"

"Is it curry...?"

Sasayama was exaggerated by her husband's hope that Anna would hear it for the first time. The same goes for the other cooks around me who were listening.

Although it may not appear as a menu occasionally in this mansion, it is a dish that is familiar to the common people of Anna.

What is camping, moreover? Even if the story of my husband going out to camp were to come up, it would not have reached Anna's ears by itself, it was just like Azure Sky.

"Ah... kon. I read the novel about camping, and the curry depiction in it looked very delicious."

I see, that's what you meant.

Well then, I'd like to borrow your cooking space.

The girl nodded half-a-dazedly as she walked past Sasayama and entered the cooking area.

Anna, who had returned to me, rushed after me, and Sasayama also followed me.

The girl rushed into the space cleaned up by the cooks, and instructed Anna to take out the contents of the cashier bag.

As I placed the bag on the stainless steel workbench and took out the contents, Anna and Sasayama's expression gradually became cloudy.

"Um, young lady..."

What is it?

You make curry, right?

When Anna confirmed, her husband nodded naturally.

But...

"From the special A5 chateaubriand to the 88 yen chicken sashimi..."

"There's a whole variety of potatoes and carrots."

A pile of ingredients arranged alongside narrow places on a wide workbench.

From the finest to the most common people's allies, there is so much variety that the price difference is likely to catch a cold.

Ise shrimp, lobster, black tiger shrimp, squid, octopus, and shellfish are also available, but is this due to the intention to make seafood curry?

Moreover, it was enough to mistake the spices for the whole corner of the supermarket. Some of them are famous curry routes.

I wonder why there is even a retort curry.

"I've been looking into the curry, but I'm not sure what to make. In the meantime, I had Takemura and the others choose the ingredients that I could use, and I had them all."

"Is that so..."

Takemura was the name of the powerful guard who brought the cashier bag to the front door. Anna dropped her shoulders, saying that she was a brilliant man, but she didn't have to obey him so far.

However, the cash register bag belonged to a supermarket close to the mansion, but I was impressed that the assortment there was so good.

"In the meantime, if you cut everything and simmer it, it will be curry." Now then ─ ─ "

Lady!?

"Please wait, miss!"

Rolling around the sleeve of the blouse, Anna and Sasayama hurriedly stopped her husband reaching for the knife.

Sasayama wiped the sweat that had soaked up his forehead while being stunned by the surprised girl.

"If you cook out of sight, you can't do anything. In the first place, some ingredients need to be pre-treated and some spices need to be handled. Also, if you use everything here, it will be enough for dozens of people."

"Oh, is that so... I'm sorry"

Sasayama panicked at her husband, who shrunk his shoulders.

He waved his arm like a log, and continued to speak as if to comfort his master.

"I will select the ingredients here, so please tell me your daughter's wishes." Well, it was like camping. "

“Yes, I thought seafood was good because of the proximity to the sea, but meat is better.”

“Okay, let's focus on the meat.”

As Sasayama gazes, the chefs surround the workbench.

While consulting, they divide what they use from the vast pile of ingredients and what they don't. As a matter of course, the A5 ranked Chateaubriand went to the refrigerator.

"It's terrible to make that curry..."

"Rich? After all, richness is important for curry, right?"

My husband picked up the unexpected words and approached me with a strange lively face, but Anna could only nod vaguely.

"Hey, lady, what's this brandy or chocolate?"

"I was thinking of using it for the hidden flavor. I also bought miso and soy sauce."

"I-It's a hidden flavor...?"

Chefs dig up fine western liquor and confectionery from a pile of ingredients. No matter what I think, it is not a substitute that can be found at a supermarket in the neighborhood, and it is not a good product even if it is wrapped in a cash register bag.

"That's what you asked Arimura to do." Your bag should contain something you bought at the department store. ”

"If it was a department store, I should have asked the foreign merchant..."

I can only point out whether Anna is getting tired or not. By the way, Arimura is a big man who is escorting a girl with Takemura.

It seems that both of them need to be interviewed once, "Anna strongly writes in her heart's note.

Lady, let's cook here for the time being.

The work is finally finished as we continue to cut down the pile of ingredients.

Most of the items loaded onto the wide workbench were transferred to suitable storage areas such as vegetable chambers, refrigerators, and freezers, and only the ingredients that were familiar to Anna remained.

"The vegetables are potatoes, carrots and onions. The meat is cut into cubes of beef. Let's use Lou's commercially available solids.”

The amount has decreased a lot.

"I can make enough for five people..."

Sasayama looks tired already, but it hasn't even started yet.

For the time being, Anna dresses her husband in a separate room and makes him look good for cooking.

I washed my hands, tied up my long black hair, and wore an apron when I saw Anna for the first time.

"My lady, we still have to do the work of using the blade..."

“Then it wouldn't make sense. It's okay, you can do it properly.”

Damn it!

"Here, refreshing"

"It's not refreshing!" Please hold down the ingredients with one hand and cut slowly. "

The chefs jumped at once at the cooking pit with a wild sound that seemed to be mistaken for firewood.

Anna hurriedly checked her husband's hand and stroked her chest to make sure that there was no blood flowing.

"Hmm. I knew the hammer would be more suitable for you..."

What is it?

It's nothing!

The girl muttered something in a whisper, shook her head toward Anna, and grabbed the knife pierced into the chopping board again.

"Does Anna cook or something?"

Well, that's true.

In the Mansion, they wear maid clothes and work as servants, but Anna is usually one of the ordinary people. Before I came to the mansion, I used to cook on a daily basis.

However, since I started living alone in a dormitory on the same property as the mansion, I often use the servant's cafeteria, and I'm not good at cooking.

Would you like to make curry or something?

“Yes, they say they have the flavor of each home, and my mother taught me that.”

I see, is it the taste of home?

The girl was strangely happy at Asuna's words, which she murmured without thinking deeply.

"Is it the taste of home? I made the rest of the oden into curry, didn't I?"

"Sayama, what are you doing in front of the lady..."

“That's fine, and it's fun to hear that.”

Anna smiles at Sasayama's nostalgic words, but her husband rather urges her to continue.

Seeing Sasayama talking happily and her master listening to her, Anna smiled helplessly. Some masters are slightly different, but they remember the names of each servant and treat them individually. Anna was proud of her master.

Well, when the ingredients run out, I'll fry them in the pan.

"Okay, let's shorten the time all at once over high heat." Oh, by the way, I wanted to try flambé. "

Lady!?

Suddenly, the cooking place with the fire pillar rising was like a beehive poking again.

Protecting her husband with tears in his eyes, Anna felt her warm heart get cold just now.

"Please... follow the basics..."

It seems that the words stained from the bottom of my heart also reached my husband.

She nodded tinyly.

_/_/_/_/_/

That's why it's curry!

Letty finished the orthodox curry with beef and vegetables.

Surprisingly ordinary dishes are served around, and the lactos are pushed into the void.

In the first place, the sense of a different world felt from the end of her story while cooking has not kept up with the understanding, but for the time being, you give up thinking.

It's really a normal curry, isn't it?

"That's what I'm talking about, isn't it?" It seems that it is best to follow the basics faithfully. "

Place the rice on a flat plate and hang the curry on it.

That way, we can finish a plate we're used to seeing.

"The T-1 has curry inari. I tried filling it with dry curry.”

They also have an assortment of Inari sushi made for T-1 to complete Letty's dishes.

Well then, it's my turn.

I'll show you what I was cooking next to.

That said, this time it was Letty's sidekick, so it was just a little flower.

"Oh, it's a tonkatsu!"

You've suddenly become luxurious.

The cheering lactos unexpectedly smiled.

I put the cutlet with mushroom pork on the letty curry and made it into a cutlet curry.

"Is this the joint work of love?" Ledge-san's doing pretty good, too... "

"Ledge, I don't think I've thought about it that much."

Amy looked at Letty in dismay, but the actors were all there.

It is written on the face that everyone surrounding the fire can't wait.

Well then, let's eat.

I'll take it!
