Ch 109 — Hanetsuki Gyoza

A quick snack? OK, something easy, hmmm, tonkatsu in a sandwich? I had some ready-to-eat tonkatsu prepared, oh and other things in my Item Box I could use too . I buttered up a slice of bread, added shredded cabbage and slathered it with mayonnaise before topping it with tonkatsu, another buttered bread slice on top, cut it in half and Done! I made more tonkatsu sandwiches then repeated the process with Cheese IN Chicken katsu and also mincemeat cakes from my Item Box . I put some mustard on the tonkatsu sandwiches to add a bit of bite to the mayo .

“Is it ready yet-” Fer demanded .   Yeah yeah, I put dishes with all three types of sandwich in front of Fer and Sui, to see what they preferred .

“Umu, this tastes good . ” Fer paused, his head tilted in thought . “Especially the tingly yellow stuff . ” Fer seemed to appreciate the mustard I added to the tonkatsu sandwich, it reminded me he liked spicy food . Mustard was safer than the Poison Lake Fish he had been so keen to eat back in the forest, at least for the cook (me) who would have to prepare it for him . Safety first .

“Sui likes having this white sticky stuff in the middle-” That would be the Cheese IN Chicken katsu sandwich . Sui likes cheese, the reason I had made that kind of sandwich .

“Seconds . ” they chorused — I wondered if they practiced that call, they were always perfectly synchronised . Yeah yeah . I made a large pile of tonkatsu sandwiches with mayonnaise and mustard for Fer and a similar pile of Cheese IN Chicken katsu sandwiches for Sui and dished them out before I started to eat my own dinner . I went with Fer’s choice, tonkatsu sandwiches with mayo and mustard for myself .

Crunch . Oh yeah, really tasty . The sharp mustard and mayonnaise combo worked to cleanse the stickiness of the fatty Orc General meat and the cabbage added a bit of crunchy texture to each bite . I got a PET bottle of cold tea from my Item Box and helped myself, washing the first sandwich down before starting on a second one .

“Aruji, Sui also wants a drink-”

“Me too . ” Fer chimed in . “More of that bubbly stuff will do . ” Yeah yeah, I bought cola from the Net Super and put out two bowls for them .

After we finished eating the sun was still well above the horizon . “Since I’ve got time today I’ll get some work done so you two can take a nap . ” I announced .

“Sui understands . I’m taking a nap-” Sui said as she went into her favourite bag .

“Hey, what are you planning?” Fer asked suspiciously .

“Well, there’s something I want to eat later, I thought I’d make some now . ”

“Umu, is it tasty?”

“Of course it’s tasty . ” I replied, somewhat offended at Fer’s question .

“That’s OK then, go ahead . ” Fer graciously gave me permission to do what I was going to do anyway .

“Right then, go over there and take it easy for a bit . ” I ordered . I didn’t want him slavering over my shoulder as I cooked .

“Yeah, I got it . ” Fer moved off and lay down, his eyes closed but I suspected he was keeping a watchful eye on what I was doing since food was involved . That was OK as long as he didn’t get in the way .
