Chapter 19 Ive Made some Friends (2/2)

Apparently, Raz-san is an expert in farming. Also, I don’t know how many times I’ve had to go through this…… but what exactly is a maid? Is it actually the title of a superhuman?

[Well, whoever is making it, it’s thanks to Neun-san that I got the white rice. Thank you very much.]

I gave comforting words to the slumping Neun-san, and after a little while, I received the souvenir from Neun-san who finally revived.

The magic box has a magic that preserves the state of the rice in the box, and it has a wonderful function that keeps it in the same condition it was when you put it in, so I can eat freshly made rice whenever I put some in it.

Moreover, as Neun-san said, she had prepared large quantities of rice, so I don’t have to worry about white rice or takuan for the time being.

And what’s more, I’m also given soy sauce, miso and other seasonings, as well as some Japanese sweets such as youkan. Apparently, Neun-san also requested Ein-san to make this…… This person seriously can do anything.

[I’m really grateful for everything…… Thank you very much.]

[Please don’t worry about it. As someone from the same world, I can understand the hardships of the different food cultures more than anyone else…… And not only are you an invaluable friend for Kuromu-sama, Miyama-san, but to us as well. You can always count on us for help.]

[She’s right~ Raz is always willing to help~ When it comes to plants, you can leave it to me~!]

[Yeah yeah, you don’t have to worry about it. Just the thought of repaying this favor someday is enough for us.]

[……Ara? I don’t recall you being involved with any of the souvenirs though?]

[……Elder Sister, you promised that you wouldn’t say that……]

Ugghh… I feel like the warmth of these people (?) soaking into my body. I mean, these people are really nice that I’m almost in tears.

Receiving so many gifts, I just bowed my head over and over again as they just told me not to worry about it. I’m really glad and grateful that they called me their friend and treated me as if it’s natural. I really can’t thank Kuro enough for organizing this barbecue.

Then, as I chat with them for a bit, Neun-san opened her mouth again, looking a little reluctant to say something.

[……Miyama-san. I’m not saying that this is something that I’m asking in return, and I won’t mind if you don’t know what I’m talking about……]

[What is it?]

[……Do you have any idea how to make tofu?]

[Tofu, is it?]

It was an unexpected question that Neun-san asked me.

According to her, products similar to rice and takuan have existed before, and as for the miso and soy sauce, Neun-san has made it with the knowledge she had about them, but she was unable to make tofu just by knowing that they’re made from soybeans.

As expected, even Ein-san wouldn’t know how to make tofu just by listening to the characteristics of the finished product and even Neun-san somehow wanted to know how to create tofu.

It would have been nice if she was able to ask the previous heroes, but the heroes are basically state guests and they travel around the country, so she had little opportunities to talk to them and she felt awkward approaching just to ask them about it.

However, this is the first time that Neun-san had a chance to talk with me, a Japanese, so she decided to ask me about it.

As I recall, Neun-san was born in the Taisho Era and was summoned when she was much younger than I was, and at that time, there were few ways for individuals to obtain knowledge they didn’t know about, especially with the lack of internet.

I’m sure that she feels bad that she’s trying to get information in return for the white rice, but I rather appreciate the opportunity to return the favor.

[This is just something I’ve heard myself, but if I’m not mistaken……]

Though I explained so, that doesn’t mean I’ve actually made tofu before either. However, when I started living on my own as a university student, I remembered reading through some cooking sites and I happened to see a recipe for making tofu. I told her about the things I remembered from that.

However, I’ve only read about it, so I told her right from the start that I don’t know much about the quantities needed for each ingredient or stuff like that……

[……I see, I think I roughly understand how to make it now. Neun-sama told me it was just a white, jiggly food made from soybeans, so I didn’t understand, but I could roughly imagine it after what Kaito-sama explained. I think I’ll be able to produce it with no problems.]

Although I felt that I had poorly explained how to make it, Ein-san seems to have understood the process to some extent. She nodded her head, saying that it’s possible to reproduce it. It’s frightening thinking that this outrageous person would be able to make it really quickly.

[Thank you very much! Miyama-san! With this, I could finally get some tofu!]

[Ah, no, it would be me who should be the one thanking you……]

As if she’s very happy to hear that she can eat tofu, Neun-san held my hands with a really happy smile on her face.

Neun-san has been in this world for hundreds of years, so this might be the first time she may be able to eat tofu for a long time, and as a big fan of Japanese food, it must have been a real delight for Neun-san. In any case, I’m glad that she’s happy about it.

Thereupon, the time to say goodbye came and everyone saw me off as I got into the carriage that’s picking me up.

[Well then, Kaito-kun. I’ll come visit you again tomorrow~]

[Ah, thank you again for everything, Kuro.]

[Miyama-san, I’ll go share some of the tofu with you when they’re ready.]

[Yes. I’m looking forward to it.]

[Oh, then I’ll be going with you at that time then, and unlike Kuromu-sama and Lord Sechs, I’m not famous in the Human Realm, so I can visit you out front. I think my partner would want to meet Kaito as well, so that would be perfect.]

[Ahaha, you have to at least try to look human though, Acht.]

[Raz is also coming with them~]

[Yes. By all means.]

[I’ll be visiting Duchess Albert together with Sei later, so we can talk at that time as well.]

[Yes, I’ll be expecting your visit.]

[Kaito-sama, please take care of yourself…… I hope to see you again.]

[Thank you very much. Ein-san.]

Smiling at the words that everyone said, I get into the carriage and waved back at everyone who was waving at me.

Today was really fun, and I think it was a good change for my mental state as well. When I get back to Lilia-san’s mansion, I’ll write an unaddressed letter again that has turned into a habit. I change some contents of the letter a little bit……

Dear Mom, Dad—- Today was the first day I’ve truly enjoyed being in another world. And also—– I’ve made some friends.

(T/N:

I’ve decided to change the title/names of the Six Kings because of a certain information I read on Chapter 20… you know what? I’ll just post it today as well, but no chapter in Saturday. Anyhow, Pluto/Hades is turned into Underworld King and so on.
