Anyhow it’s what Father eats So there’s no way it’s allowed to rot
Then it is flavoured with large a to adjust the taste
If you eat it norh to be a replacement for flavour
At any rate, if you don’t flavour it so that it’s at least salty it’ll rot in a blink of an eye
“Then let’s make a Potato Galette
There should be enough flavour”
Galette?
It’s a name I hear for the first time
He takes the potato and starts peeling them with his practised hands
‘He really is experienced’, hat I thought
Anyhohile the skin is connected in one piece, the width and thickness as ere being peeled consistently
Then the potato was cut thinly
Thinly?
And the thin potato slices were then mixed with the even smaller cut bacon
Turning on the heat, tossing the the heat then frying
That’s when I understood that he was being careful not to crumble the shape
Arranging the shape to be, round
Once both sides had finished frying, this tihly
Ahh, the smell is irresistible
Strange There shouldn’t have been any seasoning or anything added
Despite that the potato and bacon could be cooked nicely I was once again ood smell can come from just that?’
After he finished cooking, he picks up a nearby plate, and hands to
“It’s finished Please enjoy the flavour of the bacon”
“Thank you However, I’ve never seen this dish before
It’s alhtly, as if they are burying the bacon inside it”
That’s right, the potatoes which were all over the place looked as if they were burying the bacon beco one
Despite that, it looks strange and seely delicious
If I think about it simply, this is potato and bacon stir-fry
That’s what it should be It should be
But, why is it
When such a strange
In o with alcohol?
After signalling to Gann behind me, he prepared a fork and knife for me
Perhaps, he has eaten this before
This preparedness
Now then, shall I eat
Si it up into a bite, I eat it
“…Hou”
What I understood in the outright was that, even though it’s siht out dish
So which wouldn’t occur if the potatoes were crushed and siaps of the potato,the flavours
Biting into the potato, the deliciousness of the fats froap
That fat and the sweetness of the potatoa wonderful flavour
The texture of the potato is good too
Crispy and crunchy
It’s alhtness
If this came out as an entree, I think it would be a dish with no complaints
Of course, this itself is not enough to fill me up
It seems like even if another dish came out, I could still eat it
However you get strangely addicted to the flavour
Above all else, the bacons ratio is wonderful
It’s not so much so that the potato’s flavour is killed it
It’s not so little so, that the flavour of the oil isn’t enough
If this dish had too little bacon then, it’s just a guess but, I think there wouldn’t be any flavour at all
It’s due to the bacon having seasoning in the first place that the flavour of the potato can come to live
I see, so that’s why even if there’s no seasoning it was still enough
It’s true that this bacon was salty fro
The saltiness for the sake of preservation was softened mildly by the potato
That’s why it’s not too strong
Thus, delicious
“It’s wonderful Indeed the flavour is properly there It’s strange Even though there shouldn’t be any other seasoning added at all”
“That is the flavour of the bacon itselfwith the sweetness of potato to become that taste”
I see, it’s just like I thought, ne
By transferring the far too heavy flavours of the bacon to the potato, it becoht, ne
This means that it’s a dish which subtracts from the bacon with the potato
Rather than a h
No, is it an alcoholic side-dish?
“Un un, it’s certainly as you say If you eat this bacon, which is also good preserved, for breakfast even if it’s just acco else, the quality of the flavour jumps up
However, in the end it’s just garnishi+ng it with so it
Doing it like this, burying the bacon in the potato as one dish is uncommon The people in town, can easily copy this”
That’s right, the point which is most appreciative is that it’s “Easy to copy”
No matter if it’s the report or the dish I see in front of s
And it can all be cooked with ingredients that were “Easy to obtain”
Potatoes, clams, fish sauce, as well as butter
Bacon is slightly different but, if it was before the food shortage in the current political strife then, it’s all foods that even commoners could buy
Basically for organisational e capital, he is able to s they are able to buy
Surely in Ganglabe-dono’s mercenary corp, even if they had some problems or difficulties, I think no fatal problems etc, had occurred
If iven as the salary as another fors like complaints won’t come up
“Wonderful Certainly, with this alabe-dono says he doesn’t want to let you go”
“How is Ganglabe-san doing?”
Shuri-kuns asked worriedly
I see, that is indeed so to worry about
Currently Ganglabe-dono is being held in a certain inn in the castle’s town
In addition to that he is together with the other commanders
As for subordinates, several units are in a different inn, or several tens of units are being crauard’s office
However, it wouldn’t be strange if they erupt at any time
In the first place even if we inform them and put them into house-arrest, after they went to war and won, the contract had ended at that point in time
Despite that, we recklessly ordered to take a hostage
Indeed, Shuri-kun had been rude
That truth as well, I think I can get some proof if I cross exaation from here on
The details of the glass, he erous to the Feudal Lord
If I had to say it, Shuri-kun is our benefactor
If that was to be known then, even Ganglabe-dono won’t be quiet
Right now a territory award and a hostage is dangling in front of hiht revolt with his subordinates all at once if he feels like it
Ahh, my head hurts
Continuing to hide this truth, skillfully drawing out a co this end peacefully
I’m sick of it all
When I think that, I understand just how attractive the status of Shuri-kun in front of me is
Even though he is in a mercenary corp, in a mercenary corp where the death rate is low, as a cook which has an even lower death rate
Cooking up food he likes, deciding his everyday raison’detre
Ahh, doing the things he likes like this, if I live however I like I wonder just how productive my everyday will be
Maybe, I should try joining Ganglabe’s mercenary corp as well
I actually thought that such a sudden suggestion was not bad at all
Right now, once this political probleht be good to secretly enter the mercenary corp myself
At that tie of accounting and office work since I’ood at calculations and such
I’ll take Gann as well, and while ork under Shuri-kun he can gather information and such
Working hard while eating these meals everyday
Soht there
Since I’ve decided that, let’s try negotiating it discreetly
It uide him into an offer he can’t refuse, and invoke his sympathy as much as I can
“Right now, they are being confined in the town outside the castle Crammed in separate inns”
“Then, they’re just fine”
Shuri-kun shows his relief straightforwardly
As expected, it see from Gann
I’us stubbornly did
Since he didn’t knohat Shuri would do, but it is indeed effective
Like this,the opponent feel anxious, the worse case is that there’s also a chance that they end up acting rashly
Even though it’s fine to give hi some lies into as well
But, this time rather than relief, I smile bitterly and utilise his anxiousness
“However, because the reason for your actions are unknown, they may be be subjected to punishment under the crime of disrespect”
“Ehhh”
This isn’t a lie
Even now, other than us and Gann, no one knows the truth
Given that I didn’t know the reason, I thought of cross-exa the answer
In any case it’s obvious I’ll be forcing upon ood information
“I understand what you want to say I received the report fro within the territory If I don’t do soet out of here In addition, if we continue to waste tiht not stand it anymore and erupt If it comes to that then most likely, I’ll be killed”
This is also true
Once Ganglabe-dono realises the truth, I wonder what he’ll do
If I was him, let’s see
First, cross-examine those close to the Feudal Lord about why they arrested our comrades unfairly
And then using a threat called a negotiation, then e amount of land and the return of our comrade
Furtheres, and then to include the late fees for the employment in the salary for the subordinates as well
Maybe by using the period of employment and so on as a false pretense It’s certain ere ai them land, and since at that point in time there’s no doubt it was the subordinates at fault, so it shouldn’t actually trouble the h
(TL: I tried – 雇用期間云々は言いがかりかな。領地授与の話の段階で永続雇用は間違いないし、その時点で部下にするのは間違いないから、傭兵団の雇用規約に引っかかってない)
During the time they were in house arrest, there shouldn’t be a problem with their treatment either
However, Ganglabe-dono wouldn’t forgive
Taking away his co him, there’s no way he’ll be quiet about it
If he refuses then, no, supposing he refuses and the negotiations breakdown, heto the Feudal Lord and take over castle’s vicinity under a just cause
After all, many days have passed since Shuri-kun has been locked up During that ti froe Since there are ht be enough for them to riot
And I wonder if a map of the castle’s vicinity has been made Since the enemies have been captured in our pockets, I think it’s possible to do as ations as ant
Of course, they are beingwhile they haven’t noticed is quite conspicuous It can’t be helped that I’ the inn where the commanders are
If it’s Gann, I’h
Startcontrol of the castle while inciting the citizens, about the food shortage and bringing chaos to the castle town, then piling up all the insecurity and dissatisfaction till now and decapitate the entire Feudal Lord’s clan
Announcing that since there’s no one to restore the territory, he’ll do it himself
Thus, the birth of Feudal Lord Ganglabe
At that time, I will also definitely be killed
“That’s why, I have a proposition”
“Won’t you take me with you and run away?”
“E-Ekress-sama?!”
Naturally, the one behind me, Gann is also surprised Well, it’s only natural Without consulting hihter) is going to run away, is obviously going to shock a subordinate even an elder brother
But this is necessary for ful life
“I have thought about this Whether it’s the probles up till now If I try to unify this territory, I will become “Twisted” somewhere
Thus, I thought it would be better if I was gone
But I was anxious to do so I mean, am I able to flee from this place, run off to town and live a life?
That’s where you co, then with the support of Gann and I, we’ll be able to survive in the toith no problems
Of course, I’ll be hitting this probleive up the right to be heir and retire
What do you think? Won’t you take me away from here?”
It’s a slightly unfair transaction but, Shuri-kun probably doesn’t understand this
This, pulling at the sy co him the request
In fact, it troubles Shuri-kun quite a bit
Most likely, it feels like the situation will becoinehim lend us a hand
After Shuri-kun worries over it a little, he looks at me and said
“Understood After we leave it seelabe-san but, is that alright?”
“I don’tas we can leave this place”
That’s how, 『Me and Gann’s Last Resort』 has been arranged
After that, I left behind the jail, once again carefully returned to my room
Luckily, no one found us and I think 60 of all our problems have been dealt with
However
“Ekress-sama What did you mean by that!”
Gann presses me for an answer
“To start a plan to run away as the eldest son of the Feudal Lord of all people, what exactly are you planning!
Also, the one you’re dealing with is a criminal!”
“…Gann Is there anyone?”
“…No My senses do not perceive any presence”
“Then I’m relieved Fix your tone and talk”
Gann loosens up his collar, takes in a deep breath and said to me
“It’s true that Shuri is trustworthy and safe That’s what I understood these past few days
However you know, Ekreniss There’s no way you can just suddenly escape outside and survive, right
A anisation The reason that guy can survive is because his unique cooking technique has been recognised
If you join, what can you do”
It’s a reasonable argument
“Now listen At that time, Gann-niisan You’ll come too”
“Haaa!?”
Gann opens his eyes wide in surprise
Well of course
“Why me!?”
“Well, because if you stay here, you’ll always just be worked hard by Father or Gingus
Rather than that, don’t you want to be able to walk outside and look at different things?
I want to see The world that can be seen through him, is definitely vast
More so than this room, ne”
Ahh, er
“You… are you an idiot…”
“I think that living like an idiot seems more fun”
Besides, I said looking at him seriously
“Listen Ganglabe-dono isn’t stupid He’ll definitely learn of the truth from somewhere
Once that happens, he won’t let neither o safely
He probably doesn’t trust us
It’s an insurance in case that happens
Luckily, I’m known to the outside as a man
When the tiether with Shuri-kun as well and enter the jail, it’ll probably work out somehow”
“Haa… You, you’re really an idiot”
While he says that, Gann also laughs a bit
“But, I too have prouy, na
I’ll come with you at that time”
Hahaha I knew it Didn’t Gann want to get out of this place as well
“Please help me at that time, ne”
“Ahh, of course!?”
Then, Gann looks to theand suddenly rushed to it
Opening it, looks down
“What’s wrong?”
“An intruder!”
“Eh!?”
“I lost focus There was no presence whatsoever!
That is… Teg-dono!”
Teg!?
I hurriedly look outside fro fast into the darkness of night
That’s superhu!
I didn’t know at all
Here, on the fourth floor even though there shouldn’t be a balcony, how did he get here!?
“This is bad, he ht have heard the talk just now!”
“Starting froh!?”
“I fear, fro
Fro on for quite some time
Since I caht the report”
That long?!
“This is bad… Ganglabe-dono knows the truth”
“That, it’s become troublesome…
The worse case scenario ht come true…”
“Ekreniss You ht have no choice but to use your insurance”
“Right…”
I sigh and said
It’s the worse case scenario…
This was theof me, Ekreniss and Shuri
