A little while passed after Ray received the kiln... and at the end of the year, Ray, Viehra, Bune and Sett were in Marina's house in the barony.
　We're going to have a year‐end party, which was proposed before.
　Some people wanted to attend the party after hearing about it, but this time it's only a party that's going to be formed in spring, so Ray and others are the only participants in the party.
　Kenny, who wanted to spend the New Year with Ray, and Mireine and Johanna, who wanted to spend the New Year with Seto, were very frustrated.
　Kenny saw a scene in which Lenora comforted him in many ways, lamenting why he was not the Guild's receptionist and adventurer.
　...however, Kenny might have been willing to attend this party, but he might have refrained from doing it outside.

"Wow, that's great... Spirit magic is convenient,"

　Vihela exclaims when she sees the snow that had fallen all at once due to the magic of the spirit of the marina moving away and creating a place large enough to hold a party.
　Bune also nods in agreement with Vihela's words.

"Huh, I'd be glad to hear you say so." ... now, Ray. Please."

　Marina encourages Ray with joy, perhaps not too late for the compliments.

"Well, then I'll take it out."

　The next moment a kiln suddenly appeared in the courtyard with the courtyard.

"Oh, this isn't just for Ray... I don't think it's for him, but is it a kiln? From what I see, it doesn't look like it's different from the one in a bakery or something like that." It's quite small, though."
"Yes,"

　It is considerably smaller than the kiln in the bakery.
　...the size of the kiln was naturally different, as it was a kiln that could cook for a few people and a kiln that could bake bread for a few dozen people at a time.
　In the sense of cooking a meal for four people, it is safe to say that the kiln is too big.
　The size of the kiln may be natural, though, since Ray, Bune and Seto, who eat a lot more than they look, make up the majority of the party.

"It's called a kiln that uses magic to generate heat... but I think it's pretty good, isn't it? So Ray. You've got some dough, haven't you?"
"It's not bread, it's pizza dough. Do you want other ingredients all at once?"
"No, I'd like you to finish your udon." You eat it when you get older, don't you?"
"Well... not exactly udon, but soba." Well, it seems that there are some areas where people eat New Year's noodles, so it's not a mistake at all."

　The golden panchi is still in the process of trial and error, but I still get nearly 100 slices of pizza dough spread round and round.
　Of course, it's not just for today, but for the sake of making pizza in this kiln.
　He also bought udon noodles from Manjotei to eat udon noodles instead of New Year's noodles.
　There are many people who eat New Year's noodles at lunch or dinner, but when Ray was in Japan, he used to eat them around the time when the date changed because they were called New Year's noodles.

(If New Year's noodles become popular, it will be common to eat them around the time the date changes.) ...well, that's better for me. If someone comes to Elgin later than me, they eat udon at different times of the year.)

　With that in mind, we take the pizza dough out of the mistling, and then we take out the ingredients such as sauce, sausage, vegetables, mushrooms, and cheese.
　Tomato sauce was available in some shops and cafeterias, though it was scarce.
　Near the kiln is a table brought from Marina's mansion.
　The sight of a table in the snow made me feel something strange... but slightly fantastic.
　When Ray feels indescribable at the sight, Vihela opens her mouth at the ingredients on the table.

"Oh... is this the ingredient in cooking?"
"Oh, Gillum... I mean, I think it's probably something you can't find anywhere, including the Kingdom of Mileana. Of course, there is a possibility that there is actually a similar dish in a place I don't know."

　Pizza is a dish that anyone can think of, if they can bake bread normally, if they change their mind a little... but it's still a dish that can come up with.
　That's why Ray understood that he didn't know and that there could be similar dishes.
　However, in that case, I thought that even if it was a similar dish, it would not be called pizza.

"Well, you know. There are breads that are baked with ingredients on top or in dough, and it's not unusual to find something similar."

　Marina, who has been an adventurer for a long time, nods to Ray.

"That's why... well, I think I'd rather try this pizza. Now, let's make it for now."

　On the snow table, Ray leaves pizza dough in front of each other.

"Glu".
"I know," Don't worry, I've got enough for you. Here you go."

　Serve the table with pizza dough for Seto, who screams "Me too!"
　Seeing it, Seto also purrs happily.

"Well, first of all, let's move the kiln before we do that." Even if it's not snowing, it's still necessary to be warm."

　Lei looks up at the sky, leaving the fabric intact.
　Despite the end of the year afternoon, the weather was very nice today.
　Until a few days ago... no, I don't think it was snowing a lot until last night.
　However, even if the weather is good and clear in winter, the temperature is low only in winter.
　Ray's idea was that everyone would enjoy making pizza if it were warm anyway.
　Although Marina's Spiritual Magic has mysteriously kept the snow warm to a certain extent... Ray thought the heating in the pizza kiln would still be somewhat winter-like.
　Then he touches the kiln and casts his magic.
　It took some magical power to start the kiln, but Ray's magical power was beyond common sense and he felt no fatigue.
　Eventually, Ray's magical kiln brings warmth to the surroundings.
　The warmth felt even when Marina's Spiritual Magic was in use made me feel something of a relief.

(I've heard that when you feel the heat of a wood stove, you feel more secure than an electric stove or an air conditioner, but is it similar?)

　With some doubt, Ray returns to the table he is using as a kitchen table.
　But Vichela, Marina, Bune... and Seto's three and one looked at the kiln, which had started for the first time.
　There is nothing in the kiln now, so it's not particularly intense.
　Nevertheless, perhaps it was my first time seeing a magic item kiln, but I was looking at the inside of the kiln, which was getting red and heated with interest.

"Is it something that bothers you that much? Apart from the fact that it's powered by magic, I don't think the kiln itself is much different from a normal kiln."
"Well, isn't it amazing that it's driven by magic?" I've lived for quite a long time, but it's the first time I've ever seen a kiln powered by magic... that's portable."

　a muttering marina
　Why? Ray wonders about the word.
　Magic items are not uncommon to work with magic.
　Of course, it is common to use magic stones to move magic items.

"Is that the way it is?" said he, "Well, the kiln, Shall we make pizza first? Put tomato sauce on the pizza dough, then put the ingredients you like on it."

　After saying that, Ray wondered if he could have served the fish and shellfish in the mystery ring, but today is his first pizza making, so he chooses a regular pizza.
　Ray has tried seafood pizza several times. ...and of course they sell it at the supermarket.
　Still, it was delicious enough, so if the pizza I made this time tastes good, I'm determined to try it.With such subtle determination, Ray joins the others in pouring tomato sauce on the pizza dough and putting the ingredients on it.

"Seto, which one do you want?"
"Grull!"

　When Ray asks Seto while putting vegetables, sausages, ham and other ingredients on top of his dough, Seto happily points his kuchibashi at some of the ingredients on the table.
　Naturally or predictably, Seto chose mainly meat, such as ham, sausage, grilled meat, stewed meat...
　Ray knew Seto loved meat, but that doesn't balance him with meat alone.

"You have to choose vegetables, how about this?"
"Glu".

　When Ray chooses some vegetables and mushrooms, Seto purrs happily.
　She liked meat, but it's not that she doesn't like vegetables.
　I thought I could eat as many vegetables as Ray had chosen.

(If Mile Dogs and Johanna were here... no, let's not think about it.)

　Originally, Ray remembered the two faces he liked to play with and care for, but if he had been here, he would stop thinking any more.
　Today's party is a year‐end party with a strong sense of deepening friendship among the people who are planning to form the party from spring.
　It's a bit different to call another face there. That's what Ray thought.

"Ray, it's done... Is this all right?"

　At Vihela's words, Ray looks at her... and smiles involuntarily.
　Vichela's pizza for Ray was a well-balanced dish of sausages and vegetables, and Marina's pizza was still a regular pizza, though it contained a little more vegetables.
　But... the pizza that Bune made is no longer easy to call pizza.
　Vegetables, sausages, ham and other ingredients were placed on top of the pizza dough.
　That's why you can't see the pizza dough at all, and on the contrary, it's only a few centimeters thick.

"Yes!"

　Although Ray was speechless, Bune, who made the pizza, exclaims confidently and exclaims as usual.

"Oh... Bune." I'm sorry, but this is a little too much ingredients. There's too much. Cut it down to a Vihela or Marina."
"Huh!"

　It must have been unexpected for Bune to be told this by Ray.
　He looked even more shocked because he was so confident.

"Look, Bune," That's why I told you, right? It's not good to go too far. It's a little disgraceful, isn't it?"

　Vichela tells him dumbfoundedly, and Bune removes the excess ingredients from the top of the pizza, even though she is unhappy.
　The food, which was more appropriate to describe as a different dish than a pizza, eventually morphed into what should be called a pizza.

"I know you want to have a bowl of food Ray thinks of, but shall we eat the basic pizza first?"

　When Vihela asks him to agree, Ray nods that's right.

"This isn't the only pizza dough. There are many more."
"...huh,"

　Still, Bune responds regretfully to Ray's words.
　When the pizza dough is gently topped with a certain amount of ingredients -- still more than a viper or marina -- it's cheese that is used to finish.
　Place the already finely chopped cheese roughly on top of the pizza dough.
　The act of putting cheese on top of it was supposed to be a glowing professional skill, but... Ray and his friends were right to put cheese on top of it because it was their first pizza.
　...after all, Bune was putting a lot of cheese on his pizza.
　Still, it's not as wide-eyed as it was when you first put a pile of ingredients on top of it, and you're going to plunge pizza dough into a heated kiln.
　The huge spatula for putting pizza dough inside was made from Pamidor a few days ago.
　Then we put the pizza dough in a well-heated kiln... and in a matter of minutes the cheese melted and the pizza was baked.
