Chapter 567 (2/2)

(*munching SFX)

Immediately after chewing once and twice, her eyes widened in surprise.

「Delicious! What the hell is this!? It tastes like something that you’d normally need to pay for! And it has the most complex taste I’ve ever had… It’s a little bit spicier than Azalean food, but… What is this spiciness――」

Yafi was surprisingly accurate in her analysis of flavors. I thought she was just an adventurer who wanted to teach outdoor cooking, but it seemed she was well versed in food and cooking.

「Is this jerky? You did a great job making it in such a short time」

「Fresh jerky made with magic」

「Your magic is quite amazing then… Hmm… It has a unique taste from the seasoning and spices. Aah, it made me want to have some alcohol」

「And this. I made it with meat miso. Wrap it in this flour crepe」

「Another unusual dish. Mogu mogu―― it’s also delicious. Incredible!」

Fran, whose Cooking Skill was already at its highest level, had used spices and miso to cover up the smell and taste. She chose a dish that she could make right here from the many dishes I’ve made in the past and recreated it.

「And last but not least, the mysterious soup… Is it soup? It looks oddly thick」

「It’s curry. The most delicious food in the world」

「Th-that’s quite a big one. Let’s find out how it tastes… Mogu mogu」

The other dish that Fran prepared was a curry with a lot of ingredients. There was no rice though.

It was a slightly spicy red curry with meat and vegetables tenderized in a makeshift pressure cooker. When Yafi took a bite of the curry, she looked even more surprised than before.

「Th-this is! What a complex taste! It’s spicy, but it only makes me want to eat more of it…!」

Yafi, who had only eaten a few bites of the other group’s dishes before, said that she couldn’t judge well if she was full, but right now, she was gobbling up Fran and her group’s cooking.

This would be an unquestionably high evaluation.

「W-we’ll have some of that too」

Charon and the others, who had been holding out so Yafi could assess it first, couldn’t wait any longer.

「Nn」

「I-I can finally eat it」

「It looks delicious」

「I-ta-da-ki-ma-su!」 (TLN: Thanks for the food!)

「Woof woof!」

Urushi also came out and got some curry. However, his actions were quite disgraceful. He then ate the curry while paying attention to Fran who made it, but I could tell by the way his tail wagged how happy he was.

But Fran was not angry at him. Rather, Fran herself had a subtle expression on her face. For Fran, who loved curry, the taste must not be satisfactory.

Even so, it was very well received by her group. Fran was comparing it to my cooking, so it’s a harsh assessment, but I’m sure it was a lot better than most of the cooking the other groups made.

The other classmates looked enviously as Charon and her group ate their curry while saying how delicious it was. The rule was that they had to eat everything they made, so all the groups were forced to eat their food.

「…H-hey. If you have any leftover, could I have a bite of that food?」

The first person who approached her was the handsome young man who made the Azalean dish. He was good at cooking and seemed to be very interested in it.

「Sure」

「Really!? Thank you!」

「Eh! I want some too!」

「Me too! Me too!」

In the end, everyone raised their hands in the air. However, there was not enough for everyone who wanted it.

Well, to the students who lost in rock-paper-scissors, good luck next time!
