"Delicious! What's this? Delicious!"

　Bistol smiled broadly at Ray's words.

"What do you think of the special seafood soup filled with Atashi's love?"
"I don't care about Bistol's love, but this seafood soup is really delicious."

　The soup consists mainly of seafood, as is the case with seafood soup.
　They are the fish and shellfish that the Reys caught today.
　It contains plenty of shellfish as well as fish, which adds flavor to the soup as a rich soup stock.
　What surprised Ray above all was that there were plenty of shellfish in the soup that he thought were just abalone.
　Speaking of abalone sold at supermarkets when I was in Japan, it was normal for them to cost over 1,000 yen.
　There's so much abalone in the pot.
　Of course, abalone is not the only shellfish in the pot. It contained shellfish that looked like a sea bream, mussels that I saw on TV, and many other shellfish that Ray had never seen before.
　Of course, not only shellfish were contained, but also lots of edible grasses such as wild grasses and wild vegetables that grew near the hot spring based in Japan, and the huge pot was filled with a large amount of seafood soup.
　...but the contents of the pot quickly dwindled with Ray, Bune and others eating.

"Whoever drinks this soup is corrupt?" I'll name it the corrupt seafood soup."
"Well, Marina? I think that's too much to say..."

　Bistol says bewilderedly that the name of the dish, Corrupt Seafood Soup, comes from Marina's mouth.
　Since cooking is my hobby, I'm glad they like my food so much. I'm happy, but... that's why I wanted to refrain from naming corrupt seafood soup.

"No, I don't think it's strange that there's such a name for this dish. The condensed seafood extract goes well with bread."

　Not only Marina, but Elena also agrees with the name of the corrupt seafood soup.
　Vihela seemed to have no objection to this, nodding as she ate the ingredients in the soup.
　This corrupt seafood soup is categorized as soup, but it contains a large amount of ingredients, so it has enough taste and quantity to satisfy even if it is called the main dish.
　That's why tonight's dinner is only about the corrupt seafood soup and bread made by Bistol.
　When you hear that it's just soup and bread, it's often considered a poor meal.
　But for the Reyes who actually ate it, the meal was more than satisfactory.

"Well, I'm glad you liked it so much." Atashi's food is filled with love."

　Bistol's happy appearance would never have been wrong to describe her as maternal if she hadn't cared about her appearance.
　Given his muscular appearance, I'm sure he couldn't be called maternal.

"It'll taste good if I eat it with udon.
"Well, it's just a corrupt seafood soup, so I think it's better to make udon thinner so that the soup can be mixed with udon."
"Is it like somen?"
"... somen?"

　Everyone's eyes are on Rei the same way they were on sashimi when the word somen came out during the conversation with Marina.
　That's why Ray easily understands what he's being asked to explain and speaks.

"To put it simply, it's much thinner than Guillum's."

　Udon noodles and somen are exactly alike, but they are different.
　However, Ray didn't know much about the area, and for the time being, he recognized somen as being thinner than udon.

"Come to think of it, the thickness of the udon noodles in the guillem is quite different at that restaurant or stall."

　細いうどんという言葉に、ヴィヘラがそんな風に呟く.
　事実、その言葉は決して間違ってはいない.
　店によっては讃岐うどんのような太いうどんを出しているところもあれば、稲庭うどんのような細く、若干平べったいうどんを出している店もある.
　当然うどんの太さに関しては、自分で出している料理に合うようにそれぞれの店で試行錯誤された末に考えられたものだ.
　濃厚なスープやあっさりとしたスープによっても違うし、スープに入っている具材についても違う.

「取りあえず、細いうどんとかを用意して貰っておけばよかったな」

　そう言いつつ、レイは寧ろこの堕落の海鮮スープに合うのは、うどんではなくラーメンなのではないかと思いつく.
　もっとも、それこそラーメンの麺をどうやって作るのか分からない以上、口に出して余計な騒動を引き起こすようなつもりはなかったが.

（卵を使ってるんだよな？　それ以外は、小麦粉と水と塩？　いや、今それを考えても意味はないか）

　Ramen noodles... so-called Chinese noodles are quickly erased from my mind and I'll relish the seafood soup.
　Once you've finished your meal, you'll have free time is up.
　In the meantime, Bistol began to cut fish, soak them in salt water, and make overnight drying for preservation.
　Vistol's magic pouch can hold a lot of things, but it doesn't mean time doesn't flow inside like a mistling.
　Therefore, the fish Bistol put in his magic pouch had to be preserved rather than raw.

"Glu".
"Squeak!"

　On Bistol's side, Seto and Yero are staring to see if they were intrigued by the fish's handling, or if they were simply stimulated by the fish's smell.
　On top of Seto's head, who is lying on the ground, I am lying on his stomach... that's the situation.
　If anyone here was intoxicated by Seto, led by Mileine, Johanna, or Sula, they would have been absolutely devastated.

"Huh, yes, eat this. But don't eat with your fingers?"

　As they look, Bistol throws away a little fish with a small smile that would not sell for overnight drying night.
　Seto and Yero caught it beautifully and began to eat it deliciously.
　...and the reason why they had kept fish that were not for sale was simply to make overnight drying for Bistol to eat himself.
　It's hard to sell, but it doesn't matter what you eat.
　If you think of it as a pick for sake, homemade overnight drying is the best thing to do, partly because of the satisfaction of making it yourself.
　Besides, since we make this much overnight drying, if we make a little more for our own eating, it's almost no difference as a lot of course.
　For this reason Bistol had dried the smaller fish overnight.
　A short distance from Bistol, Ray was trying to remember how to make fish sauce... shotsuru.
　But there was no way to make fish sauce in the food cartoons Ray relies on to cook...or he didn't remember, and all he knew was in the news or something.

(Do you want to soak fish in salt? No, did you? Do you want to boil it in salt? That's a bit different, too. Soy sauce is supposed to be a fermented food, so do you want to ferment salted fish? ... I think I'm going to make something amazing. Don't you have to make it yourself, but do you have to look for fishing villages and port towns around you?)

　However, you can't tell if there is fish sauce in fishing villages or port towns until you actually go there.
　In fact, it is more likely that there will be no such thing at all.
　If that happens, we'll look for other places that have fish sauce... but as a last resort, Ray will have to make his own.

(Why don't you give up on fish sauce? But... Shotsurunabe tastes good, doesn't it? Well, there are vegetables that look like leeks, but there are no tofu, and fish are not too flabby, so it looks like a salty pot.)

　It would have been best if I had known how to make ordinary soy sauce, but unfortunately it was completely... I don't know how to make it more than fish sauce.
　For Ray, soy sauce used to be on the table when he was in Japan, and he had no idea exactly how to make it.
　So I tried to make the fish sauce I remembered but remembered how to make the fish sauce.

(Worst of all, let's leave it to Gimekara.)

　Ray remembers Gimekara, who taught her how to make natto, and thinks about throwing it out half way.
　It's troublesome, but if you could actually make fish sauce, it would definitely be a business.
　Of course, just because Ray doesn't know, it's for this Elgin... well, maybe there's fish sauce in the kingdom of Mileana, too.

(He has a strong habit, but I don't think he likes and dislikes natto as much as he does, so it shouldn't be bad in business either.)

　After thinking that far, Ray suddenly realizes.

"Isn't it the same that you can't eat sashimi right?"Huh? What's wrong with you? I thought you were thinking about something and suddenly..."

　Vishela, who was taking care of the back of her hand a short distance from Ray, asks.
　But Ray shakes his head for nothing to such Vihela.

"I don't think there's any seasoning for sashimi."
"Oh, raw fish... every dish Ray knows looks delicious, but raw fish is a little bit."

　Vichela trusted Ray, but she looked a little disappointed as if she was falling for a raw fish.
　Ray recommends this dish, so it must be delicious.
　I know that, but I still can't manage the common sense that I've lived so easily.
　That's why I regret it.

"Don't worry, I won't force you. Actually, as far as I know, there are some people who don't like sashimi."

　Not all Japanese like sashimi...
　Some Japanese don't like sashimi, and some foreigners like it.
　That would be the case with any dish.
　That doesn't stop Vichela from looking a little disappointed when she tells Ray so.
　Such Vihela's appearance makes Ray suddenly open his mouth.

"You can't eat sashimi, but can't you eat shabu-shabu?"
"Shabu-shabu? Is that strange name also cooking?"
"Well, I don't deny that the name of the dish is a little different."

　The name shabu-shabu may sound strange compared to the name of the dish, such as roast or wind.
　Thinking so, Ray explains a dish called shabu-shabu.
　Shabu-shabu, however, is not such a difficult dish.
　No, if you're going to get into the right place, you'll need a high level of skill to cook a lot of things, but if you think of it as an amateur cook, it's not that difficult.
　It is a dish in which kelp is put in a pot to make soup stock, and then sashimi is dipped into the soup and then dipped into the soup for seasoning.

(But the question is what to use for seasoning, isn't it? If it's meat, it's good to eat sesame sauce, but when it comes to fish shabu-shabu, ponzu is the best. ...and there was no soy sauce. Well, even if you dip it in the soup of a corrupt seafood pot made by Bistol...)

　If you shabu-shabu with seafood soup, you won't need any seasoning.
　So Ray didn't know if the dish could be properly called shabu-shabu, but there's no doubt that Vihela, who is disappointed that she can't eat sashimi first, and others will be able to eat it if she cooks it a little.
　In the case of Ray, half... no, I liked to eat only about 30%, but in the case of shabu-shabu, I can eat it by the way I like.
　And little by little... really little by little, but I hope you'll learn how to eat fish raw.
　Fortunately... or rather, Bistol's corrupt seafood pot soup still remains today.
　Then you'll have no problem eating it as a shabu-shabu-shabu.

"That's why I'm going to enjoy seafood shabu-shabu tomorrow night, so don't worry."
"No, it's a relief... I thought it looked a little delicious."

　When Vihela heard the explanation of shabu-shabu, she understood that it would definitely be delicious if it were just the way it was explained, so she replied... she was happy that Ray would think of themselves and serve them new dishes.
