Volume 5 Chapter 3

Male Adventurer . Last Part

“h.e.l.lo! This is the Author . As you read it in the t.i.tle, this will be the last one of this arc

Now for the chapter .

Bam!

A man dived into the inn, the sound of the door being blown up pervaded through the dining hall .

“I’ve arrived,” The man announced . “Oh? Ririka and Aika, you’re here as well? It’s nice that it’s so lively . Wait . Who is this man? I won’t hand over Carla to you, you know?”

That sudden entrance; those actions… I was surely surprised . Wait . Haven’t I seen this person somewhere before?

“You’re just like always, eh? your highness?” Ririka commented .

Aika came up and said, “Highness ~ Huug~ . ”

The man they called ‘his highness’ laughed, “Oh? Okay, okay . Aika, you’re really are a spoiled child, aren’t you? ~ . If Carla and I have a child, I would like you to be their friend, okay?” He said as he hugged Aika .

…………

……… . eh?

Whispers pervaded the room,

(His Highness?! Now that I look closely, isn’t that King Kail?! Why is he here? And did he just say he wanted to make a kid with Carldono… . . are they lovers?!)

As a man who had been in shock multiple times, I was left in a state of denial . But right now, being in denial was a good thing .

“What dumb things are you saying, Kail?” Carla yelled . “Forget that plan, we aren’t even dating . ”

“Tch, no hope today either, huh? . . Well, that’s okay . Make me a meal today, Carla ~ Oh, and while you’re on it, marry me . ”

“NO! And I don’t want to have to clean up another table so you can take the same table and eat together with that customer over there . ”

(What is with this married couple manzai?! Who would believe it if they said they weren’t married?! Or rather, sitting with the king?! No way, this is . . ! – )

As I stood up to protest, someone held me back .

(… Ririkdono . )

“Relax” Ririka whispered . “We won’t get another chance to eat the food that Carlchan makes . Just bear with it . ”

Well, just sitting with the king has already made me nervous, you know?

[JFB: And yet, you were about to openly reject eating with him . , Smh . ]

For us adventurers, the king is someone who we yearn to follow after . The man was a former adventurer . Adventurers had been treated as sc.u.m for a long time, but ever since the creation of the guild, they were finally given the chance to have a life almost the equivalent to that of a normal citizen . That was King Kail’s work . A genius who could accomplish such a feat, and now an indispensable pillar to the Ook-lan Kingdom which has kept growing even until now .

To be able to eat with such a person at the same table; it could be said that I was so full of emotion I wanted to run from there immediately .

“Don’t you want to eat?” Kail spoke up as he walked over . “If you don’t listen to what Carla says, you will be kicked out . ”

Why does it seem that His Majesty has experienced getting kicked out of here before…?

As I was sandwiched between the aura of His Majesty who sat beside me, and the cuteness of Aikchan, who sat beside His Majesty, I gazed over at Carla in the kitchen cooking .

Third POV .

Carla chopped a lot of vegetables .

Bok choy with onions, cabbage……bamboo shoots and carrots . One could also see a frilly-like black thing on the table (wood ear mushroom) . She minced it all of it with a nice chopping sound .

Then a huge frypan (China pot) was taken out and placed over the fire . After it had been heated, she added a bit of sesame oil to give the food a nice fragrance . She then put a piece of a nicely chopped ginger and some garlic into the frypan . The ginger added with the garlic exuded a lovely fragrance as it was sautéed – a smell that aroused everyone’s appet.i.te as it disseminated throughout the inn .

As the smell hit her nose, Carla gave a nod of satisfaction, and tossed in bite-sized pork, squid, and shrimp .

When she confirmed the meat had heated, she threw in the vegetables .

The tricky part wasn’t finding what to put in the pan, but placing them at the right moment and for a particular length of time so they cooked thoroughly, but also, did not overcook .

Last, she added several quail eggs, sauteed them, and poured in the broth made from chicken bones, oyster sauce, sake, soy sauce, and salt and pepper, and let it simmer . When the cabbage became tender, she popped the snow peas into the pan .

When it was done, she poured out the soup into a small dish, taking a sip to taste it .

With that, of all the males in the room, their gazes focused upon her supple lips as the pressed against the spoon .

To be sipped by a beautiful woman like carla . . They envied that dish .

Carla nodded in satisfaction, and the focused atmosphere around her seemed to lighten .

She slowly stirred in a potato starch and water mixture into the broth soup, and within moments, the watery mixture in the frypan became thick .

In this country, inside a world where cookery hadn’t developed all that much, such a thing looked like magic .

“What in the world? What kind of magic was that?” Far across the room, an adventurer jumped up in surprise . But there was no response, the cooking continued .

When Carla was satisfied with the thick paste, she took out a plate .

Placing a pristine rice, it’s appearance akin to a fine jewel, into a bowl, and adding the broth-like paste on top . She did this five times, and brought the bowls to the King’s table .

First POV

“There you go, Chuukadon, at your service . ”

“Oh, I’ve been waiting,” one of them said .

“No matter how many time I see it, it always looks delicious . ” Another spoke up .

“Waa~ iii”

“…… . ( steamy ~ )”

I was dumbfounded as I had looked upon such skill .

“What is this? Could it be the meal you spoke about with this ‘rice’?” I heard someone ask .

“… . eh ? So this is rice? Ah ! What’s that frilly black thing ?” Another began .

“That the frill like black thing? . . That’s wood ear mushroom, and ‘rice’ is the thing white thing that’s under it . ”
