1787 the 1787th episode



The next day Ray came to Anesis in the Duke of Kelebel.
 There is no doubt that he was emotionally tired after meeting the Duke and Duchess of Kelebel for the first time at dinner last night and experiencing a real groan of Georgima's cooking.
 However, if not in the middle of a request, Ray was basically weak in the morning.
 Also, the bedding where Ray sleeps, the duke's cabin... all the furniture, including the bedding, is of the highest quality, since Elena brought it here.
 And, as it was winter morning, Ray could not have slept better and deeper.
 Ray was enjoying a warm sleep, but soon there was a knock in the room.
 I could hear from the door.
 Ray reacts a little to the knock, but there is no sign of coming back from the bottom of his sleep yet, so he enjoys his sleep.
 But even those who are knocking can't leave Ray alone just because he's still asleep, and the knock echoes again.
 If you keep knocking for several tens of seconds, you'll notice the sound even if it's a weak ray in the morning.

 The maid, who eventually came to wake her up, kept knocking for a few more minutes...

"Well,"

 Finally woken up by the knock, Ray looks around with a strange voice.

"Ah... what...?"

 At first, he looked around with a mystified, yet half asleep look on his face, wondering if he knew where he was.
 It was obvious that it was not Ray's regular night-time Wheat-tei, nor was it in the Magic Tent.
 Then I looked around for about ten seconds... at last my brain began to work a little more with the knocks that came out of the door.

"Well, did I come to Elena's house?"

 mutter and tell the knocker to enter the room.
 The maid who came in was a different maid than she looked after Ray yesterday.
 He's in his late teens, and he's naturally handsome features.
 When the maid enters the room, she bows to Ray, who is sitting in bed.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ray. Good morning. Breakfast is ready. May I bring it here, or would you like to eat it in the dining room?"
"Oh... what's wrong with the Elenas?"
"If it's your daughter, she said.

 In other words, if you go to the cafeteria, you'll find no one there... or Elena's parents.
 Thinking so, Ray immediately utters his conclusion.

"Okay, I'm going to eat here, so bring it here.
"Yes, and Georgima has something to tell Mr. Ray."

 Ray, who had not yet fully awakened, could not recognize Georgima at first, even though she had mentioned her name in the maid's mouth.
 Still, the reason I understood who it was in a few seconds was probably because the food I ate yesterday was so shocking and Georgima's personality was characteristic.
 Especially the meat that came out as the main dish.
 It looks like only grilled meat at first glance, but you can enjoy a variety of flavors just by eating a piece of meat is an amazing dish.
 Other than that, some of the dishes and desserts that followed meat were satisfactory enough for Ray, who knew about the food of Japan, a country that should be called a food powerhouse.
 And while I remember the food I ate last night, if I really thought Georgima's food was delicious, I remember I promised to teach him what he knew... what Georgima didn't know.

"Now that you mention it, I've promised you. OK. I'll get dressed and finish my breakfast and go to Georgima... Oh, wait. Have you been asking me if I have anything to do today?"

 Meeting Georgima was no problem, but when Ray asked if Elena had any business to attend to, or the Duke and Duchess of Quelevel, she smiled -- a little dumbfounded -- and shook her head.

"There was a matter about Georgima, so please concentrate on it today. Mr. Elena says someone you know will come to see you, and when you deal with him, your husband and your wife will have work to do."
"In other words, I am free to-day,"
"Yes, it is,"

 That's what Ray says.

"Then to Georgima... oh, come to think of it, do you know what Seth is doing?"
"You're a follower of Mr. Ray, aren't you? I've heard that he's been playing around with Yero in the stable. I had breakfast here, and there's no problem with that's no problem."
"I see, then,"

 Ray replied that way to the maid's words, but of course I know Seto is very lonely.
 You'd better show up, wouldn'
 Thinking so, Ray dressed himself and smacked his tongue at Georgima's breakfast.





"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"

 When Georgima saw Ray appear in the dining room, she approached him with a strange cry that could be called such a strange cry.
 If a stranger had seen this, he would probably have thought the bad guys were terrible at his children.
 As Georgima approached him, Ray also needed to restrain himself from trying to push out his fist reflexively.

"Georgima, calm down! Look, it's an opportunity, so if you run away with this, you'll have nothing to lose!"
"Give me a hand! Stop Georgima!"

 There were more than a dozen cooks in the kitchen, but Georgima dragged them towards Ray.

"Run away, man, run away!"
"Oh, yes. Don't worry, it's all right."

 He was a desperate cook, but when he was approached by Ray, he reached out that there was no problem... and the moment he saw it, Georgima's movements stopped in an instantaneously.
 Although Ray didn't use any magic or skill, Georgima probably felt something from Ray as a man of superior skill.
 But the other cooks who were trying to stop Georgima have no idea what and how it turned out to be.
 I can see Georgima's passion for cooking... that's probably why he didn't expect to stop just by reaching out.

"Have you settled down?"
"... Oh, and now that you're here, you're going to teach me how to cook, aren't you?"

 At Georgima's words, the other cooks look at Ray in amazement.
 I didn't expect Georgima to tell me how to cook.
 Well, if you were a cook at all, you would have changed your story again... because today Ray was wearing a dragon robe and didn't seem to know much about cooking at all that's why.
 He must have noticed the surroundings. Georgima opens her mouth dumbfounded.

"This is Miss Elena's guest, who invented dishes such as udon, meat buns, pizza, and seafood okonomiyaki."
"What!?"

 When the chefs hear Georgima's words, they are astonished and all turn their eyes on Ray.
 Ray, as usual, wears a dragon robe today, so it looks like a beginner's wizard to some viewers.
 Given the size of the Duke of Kelebel, there were wizards in his forces, and the cooks initially considered Ray one of them.
 But when Ray finds out he's right in front of him, his reaction naturally changes.
 It was even worth the respect of a cook to know what even Georgima didn't know.
 That's why the chefs on the spot eventually change their gaze from astonishment to respect.
 And Ray is troubled when the cooks look up to him.
 It's only natural. Ray didn't even give us detailed recipes.
 The only thing Ray can do is teach knowledge of his memory.
 However, knowing the perfect form of food is definitely quite beneficial in this case.
 Because Ray knew the perfect shape, various dishes, including udon, were eaten properly without spending so much time.

"And to come here like this means you'll teach me how to cook?"
"You told me to come, didn't you? ... Well, it's good to teach you how to cook."

 The moment Ray told her, Georgima's eyes definitely sharpened.You're probably saying that you're greedy about cooking and you're not going to miss this opportunity.

"And what kind of food do you teach me?"
"It's called ramen. ... You know udon, don't you?"
"Oh, of course. That texture was a little shocking. It's easy to eat."
"It's like udon. You need flour noodles, soup, and ingredients. There are other condiments, but that depends on people's preferences."

 Although Georgima seemed to be a little disappointed when he said it looked like udon, he probably understood that the name of the dish was different from udon.
 Georgima opens her mouth with a serious look.

"You said it's different from udon. What's the difference?"
"As far as I know, it seems to have originated in another country."

 That's what Ray said, but of course, I don't know where udon originated.
 Ramen is a Japanese improvement of Chinese food, so its roots can be traced to China.
 However, I know that Udon noodles are called Inaniwa Udon and Sanuki Udon, but that's all.
 I didn't think Georgima would be interested in that area, though.

"And how exactly should I cook?"
"Unlike udon, ramen has several kinds of soup that serve as the basis of taste. But... it seems that seasonings such as soy sauce and miso are needed to make it. Do you know that?"

 Everyone shakes their heads at Ray's words, including Georgima.

(I heard that there were some people who had been transformed or transferred from Japan, including Zepail's friends Takum Suinose, but soy sauce and miso didn't seem to have spread. ... I just didn't find it, and I thought there might be one. Didn't you know how to make it?)

 Some people may have spread soy sauce and miso.
 But was it difficult to make it, or was it simply not on the tongue of the inhabitants of this world -- or the place where the people made it?
 Anyway, there is no doubt that the spread of soy sauce and miso is a very painful event for making ramen.

(Boiled eggs and char shu must have been made with soy sauce...)...well, can I substitute some other seasoning for this?)

 Thinking so, Ray talks to Georgima, who looks so terrible that he can almost die.

"Don't worry. There are soups you can make without seasonings such as soy sauce and miso. But what I know is a kind of soup called salt and pork bones. ... Did you have beef bones?"

 The last part of the cowbone is muttered so that Georgima doesn't hear it.
 Ray had seen beef bone ramen on TV or something, but pork bone ramen is more famous and impressive.

"And there's a dish called chilled chuka, a little different from ramen... well, the question is what to do with the sauce."

 When it comes to chilled Chinese, Ray comes up with two things: sour soy sauce and sesame sauce.
 However, one side is difficult because there is no soy sauce, and the sesame-based side has no idea how to make it.

"Salt and pork bone... Is it pork bone? Is it okay if it's oak bone? And cold Chinese food... What kind of food is it? It sounds like cold food from the name of it."
"What about the oak bones?"

 Oak meat tastes a lot better than regular pork meat, and maybe even better with pork bone ramen... unfortunately, Ray didn't understand what was going on around that time, so he was muddying his words.
