"What? It's a portable kiln? Ask Pamidor for that. I'm busy at the moment remodeling your Slapnil shoes."

　At Ray's words, Azimov says grumpily.
　It was clear from the look that Slapnil's shoe remodeling was far from going well.
　It's been snowing for a while, and it's about time for the new year.
　Slapnil's shoe remodeling, which had been fairly well at first, would have hit the wall.
　Then Ray suddenly asked me to build a portable kiln.
　It was no wonder that Azimov asked Pamidor to do soar.
　But Ray shakes his head.

"If I want an ordinary kiln, of course I'll either ask Pamidor or rent it." But what I want is just a portable kiln, and it's not just an ordinary kiln, it's a magic item kiln."

　After hearing that it was a magic item kiln, Azimov must have finally become interested.
　Azimov's frustrated gaze changes to something slightly interesting.
　After all, there was an alchemist who reacted to the word "magic item kiln."

"It's interesting. Give me a little more details."
"Oh, but it's not that difficult. It's a kiln used for cooking and heating when camping."
"...Then wouldn't it be okay to use a regular bonfire? There's a lot of firewood in your item box, right?"
"Well, that's all right. That's all I can do. Just... There's a dish I'd like to cook. We need a kiln, not a bonfire, to make it."
"Cooking? ... Well, I don't know you need a kiln then... Ray cooking?"

　Azimov's disbelieving eyes on Ray.
　We usually use a kiln when baking bread, so there's no question if people say we use it for cooking.
　But when Ray was told he was going to cook, there was no question.
　Ray looks a little displeased with Azimov.
　Of course, when asked if they could cook like cooks or housewives, the answer is no.
　Still, if it was a little bit of food... I was more confident about the food than Azimov.

"Why, can't I cook?"
"...well, it's Ray who spread udon." Wouldn't it be strange to cook?"

　Azimov slanted his head, but soon he started talking again, wondering if he had recovered his mind.

"And why is it a kiln? Baking bread?"
"It's close, but it's not," I remembered how to cook something interesting, so I thought I'd try to cook it."
"Is that the only kiln? As I said, we're busy with Slapnil's shoes?"

　It was Azimov's words that seemed uninteresting, but honestly, Ray's words must have attracted some interest.
　The light of curiosity had not been extinguished in my eyes.

"As I have said, it's not bread that I'm going to bake, it's just the food that I remember. It's probably the first dish in the kingdom of Milliana. No, maybe there's a similar dish somewhere, but at least I've never seen it."
"Hmmm. Is it such a rare dish? ...and is it delicious?"
"Well, I've never cooked it, and it's a trial-and-error dish, so it might not taste good at first, but I think it'll be good if I can cook it properly."

　Naturally, Ray has never cooked a dish called pizza.
　When Ray was in Japan, there was a pizza delivery shop in the city, but it was a bit expensive and I had hardly eaten it.
　I've had some pizza bread sold at bakeries and supermarkets.

(I wonder why pizza is so expensive.) Pizza in America and elsewhere are quite cheap, and Japanese pizza is out of the ordinary price range, I think I've seen it before.)

　As Ray thinks about it, Azimov turns an interesting glance.

"Is it that good?"
"Oh, ... well, I've never actually eaten it, so I can only say a good deal."
"You know strange things as usual,"
"It's the information I got from my teacher's book. I can't say anything about it. ...and what do you think? Will you make a kiln for magic items of magic?"
"Oh... I see. It might be just right for a change. ...what? The kiln?"

　As Azimov was stuck with Slapnil's shoes, he thought it might be a good change, but suddenly he came up with an idea.

"Well, if you're going to build a kiln, can I make it out of silver lion bones? From my experience, if you make silver lion bones one of the bricks, you can make bricks that can withstand quite high temperatures."

　Ray could understand what Azimov was thinking.
　By creating some other magic item using silver lion material, he would like to break through the current situation of struggling with Slapnil's shoes.
　Of course, the technique used to make kilns may not be appropriate for Slapnil's shoes.
　But it was an important event in terms of inspiration.
　Also, I am glad that Ray has made progress on Slapnil shoes, and at the same time, he can make a kiln.
　Kilns, in particular, can be applied not only to pizza but also to a variety of dishes.
　In the past, when we were in camp, we could only serve the finished food in the mistrings or cook the skewered meat over a bonfire.
　Of course that didn't make any difference to the meal.
　However, if you have a kiln, you can still enjoy the bread that's been baked for a while, and that's how you can literally put the dough in the mistirring and eat the fresh bread.
　...but, of course, Ray has never baked bread, so he'll have to practice a lot.
　The reason why we asked for the kiln this time is also related to Ray's formal party starting in spring.
　The food was basically meant to be served out of the mistling, but as the number of people increases and contingencies may arise, we should be careful.

"The material of a silver lion... Is that a bone?" Well...

　Even for such a reason, Ray still suffers because the bones of the silver lion seem very user-friendly.
　As Pamidor and Azimov say, it is possible to use the bone itself in the form of a weapon, since it is made into bone meal and mixed with some kind of material.
　Especially with regard to bone meal, Ray honestly felt that he didn't want to use it very much because it could be applied to various things.

"Don't worry so much. I'm not asking you to use the whole bones of a silver lion. Of course you need to try it a few times first and figure out the best amount."
"... All right,"

　After much thought, Ray ends up following Azimov's words.
　I really wanted to see a magic item kiln made from Rank S Monster materials, and I trust Azimov's skill in the twilight spear case.
　You can be sure that Azimov will certainly build a high-performance kiln even if you run a little wild.

(The biggest question is whether I can use such a great kiln even if you make it.)Even if it is a first‐rate product, it is meaningless if it is used second‐rate or third‐rate.
　It was true that at least the skill required for the kiln.
　It must have been a relief for Ray that his skills were to find out how to bake in a kiln, not all the cooking skills.

"Well, don't worry. Fortunately, the silver lion is large, and the bones are large. It won't go away so easily."
"...but don't you waste your money?"

　As he told Azimov, Ray remembered that Grimm had told him that the Silver Lion he had knocked down was never the largest of the Silver Lions.

(If that were the case with a larger individual, I wonder if he would have had a chance to win.)

　Shake your head immediately and stop thinking about what's no use thinking about it now.
　Contrary to Ray's appearance, Azimov smiled broadly at Ray's permission.
　Such an appearance of Azimov is very rare for Ray, as he usually appears blunt.
　So, as Azimov prepares various things to make a kiln, Ray thinks he can only get in the way if he stays here any longer.

"Well, I'm going home," Let me know when the kiln is built."
"O, leave it to me," . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .."

　They are probably already concentrating their attention on building kilns. Azimov waves lightly at Ray's words from behind.
　Ray leaves the house with a small smile on his face.

"Grull!"

　As soon as he leaves the house, Seto approaches Ray with an expectant cry.
　Ray came to Azimov's house today because he was told he was going to have a kiln made for magic items.
　And he explained to Seto that the kiln was made because it was necessary to make a kiln.
　That's probably why Seto cried out, "I want to eat pizza soon!" ... but Ray gently caresses Seto's head.

"Calm down," You can't do it on the spot just because you asked me to make it for you today."
"Guru..."

　Sadly, Ray's words make me look downwards.
　I didn't know what pizza was like, but I could still imagine that it was definitely a delicious dish because Ray said it.
　Basically, Ray's cooking... or, to be exact, everything he teaches others is very delicious.
　The basic reason here is that the meat bun I ate a little while ago was not bad, but it wasn't good either.
　Ray muttered suddenly, though he might not have felt Sett's idea.

"Well, before we go back to the inn, shall we drop by the Golden Pantei?" I'm a little curious about how the meat buns are improved."

　Ray's words make Sett feel a little slow.
　Perhaps they don't want to eat meat buns if possible because they remember the taste of meat buns.
　Perhaps Ray notices this kind of behavior, but he gently caresses Seto's body encouragingly.

"At that time, it tasted like that because I made it out of my dim knowledge, but don't worry, Rodrigo will have made a good improvement now. Sandrine probably misses Seth, too."
"Grull".

　Were you encouraged by Ray's words or did you want Sandrine to play with you? I didn't know which, but Seth still starts walking by Ray's side.
　And when I went out into the main street and passed by the Golden Pantheon, there were not many customers lined up, but there were not so many empty seats in the shop.
　No, given that this is the afternoon, it's quite a trend to have a certain amount of customers despite this time of day.

"Come on in! I'm sorry, but it's already evening training... Oh, Mr. Ray. Seto-chan, too."

　As soon as she opens the door, waitress Sandrine quickly tries to say no, but when she finds out that Ray and Seto were there, she suddenly changes her apologetic face into a smile.
　Seeing it, the customer remaining in the shop looks at Ray with jealousy.
　Sandrine was by no means a man's attention-seeking beauty, but she had a very cheerful personality and, perhaps because of her expression, she was popular as the signature girl of the Golden Pantei.
　However, Ray can only smile bitterly when the customer looks at him with jealousy.
　Sandrine was delighted because it was obvious that she didn't meet Ray.
　Of course, Seto chants at Sandrine from outside the dining room.

"I'm here to see what's going on with the meat bun... what's going on?"
"Oh, so? Again, it's polite." Father, here comes Ray!"

　After hearing why Ray came, Sandrine calls out to the kitchen.
　And what came out of the kitchen was Rodrigo's appearance, as if he had been a little timid as before.
　At first glance, he doesn't look like a good cook.

"Oh, Mr. Ray," Come on in. ...please wait a little while. The preparation is almost finished. ...until then, yes. Please wait a little longer."

　Rodrigo, smiling with joy at Ray's appearance, returned to the kitchen... and brought a bowl of udon.
