Vol 2 Chapter 4 (1/2)
Water, Wind, and people that act like they don’t care about each other
“Ah, uhm …welcome?”
I was stunned at seeing Angela and Elizabeth both standing there together
Why is it this combination?
“Hey, Masaru! Who is this woman!”
Shouted Elizabeth
“What’s with this wo some weird black robes!”
Angela returned fire
Why are they in such a stormy mood!?
“Uhm, there-there Calm down, the two of you She is Elizabeth from the B rank party Dawn’s Battleaxe, who I’ve been in the care of during the forest investigation And she is Angela-san, a priestess from the temple, who I’ve also been in the care of in many cases”
“B rank…”
“Priestess…”
Even after I introduced the at each other
“Ah, well How about you co…”
I let them both in
“Mhu Who are they?”
“I haven’t seen either of them yet Why are they in your house?”
When they saw Tilika and Sati they asked once again
“Well, she is Tilika-chan, a guild staff member Also, this is Sati I let her handle chores and such…”
“I’m Sati, Masaru-sama’s slave!”
Sati displayed a full faced smile that she can be proud of no matter the place and quickly bowed
“Slave!? You bought one!?”
Angela looks at me with a heavy expression
“Hnnn”
Elizabeth doesn’t look like she particularly cares She is stealing glances at the freshly done cookings
“So then you that brought you here today?”
I ask them while I invite them to sit
“I caht”
“We will begin training soon, Masaru!”
“Ah, right We are about to have lunch, how about you two join us?”
“I will have some”
“Then I will take you up on you offer”
I also introduce the two of the without saying anything in particular I have Sati prepare tea for the two of them
Aah, the oil is bad While I was looking away the temperature went up too much I take it off the fire for a bit The soup is nicely war up Hm, it’s difficult to control the temperature of the oil Let’s decrease the amount of firewood and watch how it fares I instruct Sati to prepare the bread and the salad I add some bread flour to the oil and check its teht I put in theI put bread flour on the re cutlets I ready a plate and line them up on it
Oh no, there are not enough tableware?
I wasn’t planning on having this nuet more next time, for now I can substitute thee one for the bread and the salad
The soup has war it to the table The frieddone one after the other I should’ve chosen a bigger pan for the oil If the pan is too ser quantities I serve up the fried foods and take out the tartar sauce froerator and add that as well
“You can all start eating now Sati, you eat too”
“Uhm, and Masaru-sama?”
“I still have to watch the frying”
Fried foods are best right after they are done! If you don’t eat theht after they are done the flavor drops
“There there, sit now Today’s menu is bread, salad, and soup You need to put the mayonnaise on the salad Tartar sauce for the fried foods Dragonso they are all excellent! So, before it gets cold, eat up eat up”
Perhaps they couldn’t wait more because of the delicious smell, the women all reached out for the food without reservations
“Oh, this is delicious”
“What is this! It’s delicious”
“Masaru-sama, it’s delicious!”
“…”
The cutlets get done one after the other, so I divide the them to the table
“These are cutlets on meat Put some sauce on it and try it”
“These are also good”
“Crispy and delicious!”
“It’s delicious! It’s delicious!”
“…”
It looks like it’s well received Tilika-chan is just silently eating, but it looks she is eating it greedily so it’s probably alright
Finally, the cutlets are also done, so I sit at the table The fried on cutlets are both truly excellent Is there this ood? At home, I only used some cheap import meats
The a quickly I thought I uess it wasn’t
Ah, Angela and Elizabeth are glaring at each other over the last piece
“Leave that to me”
“No way, I was ai for that”
Yoink, nom
“”Ah!?””
Tilika-chan snatched it from the side Elizabeth has tears in her eyes Did you want to eat it that much?
“Hey hey There are still soon cutlets and soup”
I’lad we made quite an amount We really made quite a lot so that we don’t have to bother with it for dinner, but it looks like it almost ran out
Glancing at Sati, I see that she is eating very reservedly There is no sign of her usual good appetite
“Sati, eat some more You were the one who made this soup”
So, I put the rest of the soup on her plate
“Thank you very much, Masaru-sama”
The three wo it intently I just notice that there are no more cutlets
“Uhhh?”
“No, it’s alright Aren’t you quite good at this, Masaru?”
“M, huh I’m surprised”
“It was delicious”
They were meant to be afternoon desserts, but s out of the refrigerator
“After- It’s sweet”
I hand out one for each of thele pudding remains on the table
