Volume 12 Intermission 1 (1/2)
Intermission: New Year Dish”Lulu Onee-sama, I earnestly implore you”
What should I do, Arisa is acting even stranger than usual
”Do you want so meal?”
”Banba~gwu~?”
”Leaving out the whale karage is hard too nodesu”
It was Pochi-chan and Ta from behind Arisa who answered my question
Lizsan would have surely requested yakitori
Nansan loves kids' lunch
Michan would be curry I think?
”Luluu~”
”Ah, I'm sorry, Arisa”
I inadvertently forgot about Arisa as my consciousness wandered about dinner
”So, what is your request? Don't be so that Master dislikes okay?”
”Master won't dislike it mon”
Arisa sulked like a child, turning her face the other ith swelling cheeks
She rarely sulks like this
”Please Arisa, won't you talk to Onee-chan?”
”Okay”
When I matched our eyes and asked her, Arisa sheepishly nodded
--Ah, it's been a while since I feel like an older sister
◇
”New year dish? What kind of dish is it?”
Arisa was asking a dish called [New Year Dish]
However, I've never heard so like that
”It's the dish from Master's hometown”
”Then let's ask the way to make it from Master--”
”No!”
--I thought of asking Master, but Arisa stopped me with both her arms spread open
”Why can't we?”
”We're always getting surprises froive him some surprise present sometimes”
”Okay Leave it to Onee-chan”
”Un, I love you Lulu!”
Arara, it's back to 'Lulu' already
It's unfortunate, but I won't be able to calht once in a while
I rolled my sleeves and then went to the kitchen
However, the real problem was from here
◇
”Seaweed roll, fish omelet roll, eel roll”
”Are they all dish with roll?”
I tilted e word, ”Nein”
Apparently, she doesn't remember the dish's name
”U~n, I usually only ate them, so I can't remember the name You boil carrot, taro, lotus root, and kuwai, there are also sliced kamaboko and ham I think”
Arisa is telling ine what kind of dish is it
I wonder if it's like Nabe where you put s inside?
”Oops, I et, black soy bean and Kurikinton! Sweetened boiled sweet potatoes are also the staple aren't they”
Even if you tell me that it's the staple
Were those just now for the dessert after dinner?
”Right, right, prawns! Boiled prawns on boudara sea brea roe! Thereroe after all With katsuboshi+ on it, you put a biit of soy sauce U~n, it's unbearable~”
Arisa is grinning widely like when she's fantasizing about Master
”It's totally unbearable nodesu”
”Unbear-bear~”
Pochi-chan and Tained the dish from Arisa's words have their mouths open wide like they'll drool
”So, do you kno to make them?”
”Abbsolutely not”
”Arisa?”
”Can't Lulu's transcendental cooking skill do so about it?”
Oh you Arisa She's way too unreasonable
”I'm not Master, so it's impossible Since the eels are sold in theabout it if you tell what kind of taste the boiled vegetables should be like”
”Really?! Asxpected of Lulu The favorite pupil of the phantom chef!”
”Even if you praise me I think we can substitute the praith river shriet our hands on the sea bream We have katsuboshi+ and soy sauce in stock, but what is herring roe?”
To my question, Arisa crosses her arms and frowns
”So that's yellow, lumpy and delicious!”
I waited for Arisa's explanation to continue, but Arisa just kept crossing her arhly
”U~n, I don't think I've ever seen them even in the royal capital's and the trade city's marketplaces If I only know the kind of fish it is, I could ask the et it”
”Then can't we just ask the fish dealer old man at the marketplace for that?”
”Right That ood”
Arisa and I, with Pochi-chan and Tauards, went to the royal capital's marketplace
Coredients for seaweed roll, fish omelet roll, and eel roll I wonder
◇
”I could get ya river fish, dried and smoked cods, octopus and river shrimp, but sea fish are impossible Even if an Item Box-holder merchant runs on the fastest horse, it's absolutely impossible to keep them fresh”
The old man of the best wholesale fish dealer in the royal capital told us so e asked him
”Hey~, can't you do so somehow?”
”Like I said it's impossible A falconkin airmail man can make a round trip to the trade city in one day, but there's no way you're paying 10 gold coins to buy fish right?”
The pocket ot froh
However, using it like this feels wasteful
”Oh right, I've got so ore, but the eggs of sakura sal sensation, I recommend them y'know?”
The fish dealer oldto sell it
