The knights who lost the duel have gone back to the castle, but the non-knights are still there. I asked Princess Henri about these people and she said they are needed.

Then they enter the house again. I recommend a chair to Princess Henri and Riese, and Princess Henri's attitude changes.

''Finally, the noisy knights are gone!　I'm free!　Mr. Takut. Thank you.

Your Highness. I know you don't want to hear this, but are you sure you want to be in front of a bunch of people?

'I'm sorry, but it's too late for that. Please, Takuto-san, don't tell anyone else about this.

I feel like this is threatening. But I think it's best to be natural, and I think the princess needs to be able to bring out the best in herself.

"So that's the bare minimum: ...... I understand. We'll keep this matter a secret.

'You're as nice as Lise said you were,'

Isn't that right?　I'm sure you're a good judge of character.

These two are apparently of the same generation and are close friends. So Princess Henri assesses the battle just now.

''Even so, you were splendidly strong.

I've seen your swordsmanship before, but you're pretty adept at fighting as well.

Not really. Martial arts is a demonstration. I don't think you can beat the pros, though.

'You certainly can't beat someone who takes something to the extreme, can you? But in battle, it's a tricky one. There is no one more fearsome than an opponent who has no idea what kind of tricks you have up your sleeve.

It's an honor to be so appreciated by this butler. Now, let's get down to business.

"So, it's all about the honey juice, isn't it?

'Yes, sir!　That drink is fantastic!　I've never had a drink as good as that one in the royal palace!　But the effect is more important than taste.

'Princess, I'll take it from there.

An elderly man in white begins to speak on behalf of Princess Henri. He looks like a doctor from the way he looks.

'I am Hippocrates, the attending physician of the First Princess Gylfi Fretia. Henceforth, you must be acquainted with me.

Yes, yes. I've heard that name before. Or rather, he's the father of modern medicine. It is said that he was the first person to abandon the idea of illness, which was thought to be a curse or the work of the gods, and to try to cure diseases through clinical experiments and observation, or empirical science.

Isn't Hippocrates great?　He's the most skilled doctor in the country.

I'm sure you're right: ...... Not many doctors can surpass the father of modern medicine. But why would someone like that be interested in honey juice?

What does the best doctor in the country want with me?

'I'll be frank with you. I'd like you to sell me a recipe for honey juice.

Huh? I've never heard of Hippocrates setting up a honey lover, but ...... I'm wondering, and Hippocrates explains.

I'm sure you're aware of the fact that this is an incurable disease that even we, the doctors, can't cure. We have tried various medicines, but we have been unable to cure it. There was nothing we could do to cure her, but we have found that drinking your honey juice slightly improved the progression of the disease.

Ma, seriously!

Is it... is it true?

'It is true. We believe that the honey juice's resistance to poison is what fights the Princess' disease.

Honey juice, awesome! Ah, by some chance, the reason why Liese-sama left in a hurry at that time was because she thought it might have an effect on that princess? I'm convinced.

''So I'd really like to have you sell the recipe for this country.

You're talking too heavy on the honey juice recipe! So Princess Henri will ask for it too.

'Naturally we will pay you the money you deserve. I promise not to publish the recipe either, so please, please.

You can't have a princess bowing down to you! And it's just honey diluted with water!

Lift your head. I'll give you the recipe!

Thank you.

She thanks me with a big smile on her face. This girl ...... completely calculated my actions. As expected of a princess of a country.

Now, while I give you the recipe, let's try some new honey.

Put a spoonful of Honey Bee honey in a glass and dilute it with water.

'Huh?　Is that complete?

Okay, you're done.

I'll appraise it.

Honey Bee's Honey Drink: Rare 3 Cooking Quality D
Effect: Restore 10% of fullness, 1 hour disease resistance (large)
The juice is made from diluted honey from honeybees. It's sweet and delicious and very good for you.

Hmmm? The effects have changed.

You went from being poison resistant to disease resistant.

Everyone in the room turned to look at me at my comment. Hey, I'm scared!

Oh, really?

Yeah, yeah. This is the one.

I show Princess Henri the results of my finished Honey Bee honey juice appraisal. Then, after confirming the effect, she mutters, "It's true ......". In a hurry, Hippocrates also appraises it himself.

'Does it seem to work on your sister?'

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but you have to drink it to know for sure. But that's very satisfying.

Does that make sense?

'Yes. It is possible that the honey juice originally had a disease resistance effect, but ordinary honey juice does not have the same effect. But I suspect that the honey juice does not work as well as it should and has become poison resistant.

'So the ordinary honey juice still had some effect on disease resistance, and it worked for your sister?

That makes sense. But as I thought with the regular honey juice, the effect is unusually high.

Huh? Didn't Lady Liese tell you by any chance?

'That's the effect of the title. It still holds the title of three-star chef.

"...... Yes?

Everyone in the room who doesn't know what's going on reacts that they don't know what it means. Even if they reacted like that.

''Well, Tact-san is a summoner, right?''

Yeah?

'You're a summoner and you're a three-star chef?

'Yes, sir?　Is there something wrong with you?

'No, no. It's not just weird, it's ...... unusual.

He said it in a way that was worse than weird. Come to think of it, Aura-san said it to me too.

''Ah ...... I've been told by someone from the Beast Demon Guild that it's rare for people to feed and increase their summoned beasts.

'Summoner bait!　What, are you successful?

'Yes, sir. I've just brought Sheep into the fold. I'll be there.

Meh.

Locomoco replies.

'Did you feed that shep?!

Incredible ......

You didn't run away?

Yeah, you're right. If you try to take him down, he'll run away. But Loco Moco was different.

"Instead of running away, I was cooking and eating, and it was approaching me from the sheep.

"......

The princess and her friends are furious when I tell them the truth.

'Is it weird?'

It's not right!

Hmm. Once again, I recognized the weirdness of what was happening to me.

'And anyway, can I have this honey drink?'

Okay.

I'll hand the honey drink to Princess Henri. Then I have an idea. In reality, honey is said to be good for fighting diseases, but it's better warm than cold. It keeps you warm. I'll give it a try.

Excuse me. May I have a moment of your time?　I just had an inkling.

Okay, but what's the inspiration?

Aeon explains that Princess Henri is wondering.

'Mr. Tact is always coming up with new dishes. Perhaps he has come up with a new dish.'

You're overreacting to the new cuisine. Aeon. I'm just recreating a real-life dish, you know. In the meantime, I bring a pot of water to a boil and make the honey juice as before. But I used hot water to dilute it. Now, let's see what it turns out to be. Here's the finished product!

Honey Bee's Hot Honey Drink: Rare 3 Food Quality D+
Effect: Restores 10% of fullness, 1 hour poison resistance (large), 1 hour disease resistance (extra large)
Juice made from honeybee honey diluted in hot water. Warm, sweet and delicious. Very good for you.
If you don't drink it within 30 minutes, you'll end up with a honey bee honey drink.

'You've added poison resistance and your disease resistance is oversized.

It's limited to 30 minutes, but it's the first time I've ever seen an oversized effect. Yes!

"......

While I was happy, the princess and her group were again exclaiming. On the other hand, my cooking skills have improved after a long time.
