Samples

I changed from the white uniform before I dirtied it and moved with Austin-sama to the dining hall to have dinner with the Stantval family .

There, we met Lilika-sama again, but Lilika-sama who was surprised to see us raised her voice and ended up ignoring Austin-sama’s presence . I also became friends with her older brother——Reinhardt, who was the same age as me and we enjoyed the meal thoroughly .

—————

The next day, while resting in our room after having breakfast, a guide came to inform us that Austin-sama has called us over to get experimenting with the freeze-dry soup .

“Good morning . Have you slept well?”

He guided us to the Stanval house’s kitchen, where Austin-sama was waiting with a smile on his face .

“Yes, we had a good rest . ”

“”Slept a lot~””

“Still, is it fine for you to be in the kitchen, Austin-sama? Wouldn’t it be better to carry the finished soup to the lounge?”

“This way is much more convenient . Like this, you can prepare lunch while checking on us if we are not missing any key points . ”

“Ehh!?”

It seems that he was serious yesterday about the curry~

Rather, I didn’t think he would make plans so properly . Besides, even if I had to cook lunch, I wouldn’t have a problem if the kitchen wasn’t available .

“Err… how much should I make?”

“You can use all the ingredients there, you can make lots . You don’t have to bother with bread or salad, so you can focus on making the curry . ”

Taking a glance where Austin-sama was pointing at, there was a pile of onions, potatoes, carrots, and Orc meat . Of course, the curry powder sold by the Fiji Company wasn’t missing .

“You really are prepared . ”

“I’m asking you to do something that isn’t your job . This much is only given . ”

“By the way, do you mind if I make something personal on the occasion?”

“Sure, I don’t mind . ”

I checked whether I could make something I personally wanted on the occasion and got a kind permission from Austin-sama .

“Thank you very much . Then, I will get right into work . ”

“Yes, please go ahead . ”

I moved to the place with the pile of ingredients right away .

“”What kind of curry?””

“A normal curry using Orc meat . Can you help me?”

“”Yea!””

First, I chopped up the veggies and meat and placed them in a large saucepan, after stir-frying them for a little, I poured in some water and simmered until cooked . Actually, using soup stock would be better, but since we are making a good amount this time, I will put up with using water .

“”Onii~chan, this?””

“Yup, that’s scum . Please do your best to remove as much as possible . ”

“”Yess~””

After asking Allen and Elena to skim the scum from the curry, I checked on Austin-sama’s group, but the freeze-drying of the life magic-using knights seemed to be going well, so they were now focused on mass-producing the soup . They are apparently preparing samples to take with them to the negotiations with Creta .

“”No more scum~””

“Thank you both . This will definitely come out delicious now . ”

“”Really?””

I added roux from curry powder and flour I prepared in a separate pot to the saucepan the children cleaned of scum .

Oh, how about I add chocolate as a secret ingredient?

“All that’s left is to mix and simmer it until it’s done . ”

“”Can’t wait~””

There was enough time, so I decided to cook it normally without using the Aging magic, and moved to work on the personal project next .

“”Next is~?””

“Next I will make a few soups and turn them into instant soups . ”
