Chapter 8 (2/2)

「Ah, I was called to cook, my name is Gas (ガス)… I will give instructions to the others, so please give me your orders.」

「Ah, I see. Gas-san, pleased to meet you.」

「Yes, likewise.」

Hmm, what should we do. What should we make?

I looked at the cargo inside the carriages and something caught my eye.

「…Hm? Gas-san, what is this?」

「Ah, spices.」

「Ah, really. This is c.u.min, nutmeg, and even cloves. There’s more too…」

「Alright! I’ve decided! Curry! Let’s make curry!」

「Curry? I apologize, but we haven’t heard of such food.」

「That’s fine. Just do as I tell you.」

「First, cut the beef, kiros (carrots), and potos (potatoes) into easy to bite pieces..」

「Hm, those 7 people over there do that.」

「「Yes, Chef!」」

「Um, are there any people that can use magic to get water?」

3 people raised their hands.

「When you guys are done heating up the pot, please fill it up with water to boil.」

「「Yes, Chef!」」

「I need people to carry things.」

「You two do it.」

「「Yes, Chef!」」

「Also, I need someone to cook a large amount of rice.」

「Then, I will do that.」

「Once the meat and vegetables become soft, please call me. I’m going to do the spices, so until the sauce thickens, please cook it well. 」

「Once you have all finished your own individual jobs, please help with the other work. At any rate, we need 10,000 portions.」

「「Yes, Chef!!」」

We finished making it and I tasted it.

When I think about it, what kind of person is Gas-san to be able to make rice for 10,000 people all alone…?

「Wow, delicious!      」

「Alright-!」

「It’s finally over.」

「I don’t want to cut vegetables ever again.」

「Everyone, well done. But we still need to distribute the food, or it’ll all be for nothing. One more job to go!」

After we distributed the food to everyone, we were all tired.

The leader of the Oukoku Kis.h.i.+dan dropped by for a visit.

「You guys did great! Thank you!」

「Yes, if it was possible, I wouldn’t have wanted to do it.」

「HAHAHA.」

「But, look at the faces of the people eating. They don’t look as if they’re getting ready for a battle. Everyone’s faces have lost all their anxieties and they’re laughing so much now. Morale is high now. It’s all thanks to you cooks. Thank you.  」

All of the people that ate the curry were certainly laughing.

「S- spicy! But it’s good!」

「So tasty!」

「Rice and curry pair so well together!」

「What is this! It’s so yummy, too yummy!」

「Even though it’s brown, how’d they get this taste!」

「Woaah-! I’m so happy-!」

It was truly difficult to make but it’s good to see everyone’s smiles.
