"Everybody get in line! If you don't get in line, I won't give you a drink!

　On a table in the slightly large courtyard of the orphanage, a brave man stirs a ladle of beef stew and says to the children in front of him, "Ha!

Yes!

　The kids responded honestly and formed a line with their bowls.

"Oh, ......? It smells good. What kind of a dish is this?

It's called beef stew. I don't know much about it because he made the whole thing, but ...... there's a lot of it, and Mr. Carrotta and ...... Mr. Filani, right? Would you like some?

Well, I'll have a little bit.

...... So, I'll just take a sip. I'm sorry, I really am. You're our guest. ......

No, don't worry about it. As he said, we just barged in unexpectedly, so this is the least we can do.

　As the conversation continues, I cut up the huge piece of meat into pieces for one child to eat.

　The kids are just staring at me as I cut up the meat. ...... No, this is just looking forward to the meat.

　I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have beef stew with roasted meat, but well, they're both good, so it's okay.

　By the way, why beef stew is because there is no rice. I wanted to make a curry, but I didn't have any grains in my item box, so I decided to make a beef stew.

Okay, bring the next kid's bowl!

"Yes! Onii-chan, you're wearing a cool mask!

"Oh! You're a good judge of character. I'll give you an extra card.

Yay!

　A bowl of beef stew of a delighted little girl is served with meat on top.

　Well, I say I'll give you one more piece of meat, but in the end, everyone gets one more piece of meat. They've learned that praising my mask will give them more meat.

　Huh, well, maybe that's the extent of your perception right now, but as you praise it, you'll really notice the appeal of this mask one day. .......
　I haven't been here that long, but.

　And, and this may be really unimportant, but my current mask is not full-face, only open-mouthed.
　When Nell and I retreated to the kitchen, I changed it beforehand so that I could eat later. It would be stupid if I accidentally took it off at dinner time to reveal my face.

　There's no need to hide your face, but a man in a mask is kind of cool, right?

　Most of my principles of action consist of such a shallow train of thought.

...... But you, that was good? This meat looks like demon meat, and your dishes are laden with spices, right? I'm sure it's costing you quite a bit of money.

　I'm sure the kids are going to say, "Yay! You can hunt this kind of monster without any difficulty," he replied, cowering his shoulders as he watched them squeal with joy.

You can hunt a demon like this without any difficulty. Besides, the spices are ...... well, homemade? It doesn't cost that much money, because it's like

　I'm using DP's beef stew ingredients.

　And maybe it's because I live with ...... Iruna and her friends. It's hard to see the kids living so unhappy, it's kind of hard to see them living so unhappy.
　I wasn't so much of a child lover in a past life.

　This is completely just a self-congratulatory statement: ...... As far as I can see, I will help the kids.

　And maybe because I was serving food in the courtyard to get a barbecue feeling. You can hear a buzzing voice coming from the front of the orphanage.

"Hey ......, does that smell really good?

Ahh. That's the first time I've smelled that and it smells delicious. Yeah, I'm hungry. ......

　When I looked, before I knew it, there was quite a crowd of people on the front street, looking at us enviously.

　...... Hmmm.

　Just as well.

"Nell, can you help me with that?

"Huh? Yeah, okay.

　I left the place to the heroes and headed towards the crowd.

...... Are you hungry?

"...... Oh!

　I stand in front of them with my arms crossed, and when I ask them that question, they look at me dubiously for a moment, but then they seem to agree with me immediately and shout out to the crowd.

Do you want some meat?

"Ooh!

　That's the word, a crowd of people getting excited.

All right, then we'll feed you! Help!

　With that said, I opened the item box and let the demon's corpse appear in it.

"O-o-o-o-o ......

　The demon's corpse appeared out of nowhere, and this time the crowd was a bit scared.

　I was going to give all the meat we dismantled to the orphanage, but actually, I wanted to eat it too. It was too much trouble to take it apart again, so I held off, but since there's a good crowd of people here, let them do it.

There's no more stew, but there's still a lot of meat here. But we haven't done it yet. You guys work if you want it!

　As I say this, a few people in the crowd step forward.

I'm on it! We're closed now, but I'm a butcher. I'll show you my skills if you'll let me eat!

I'll take it apart. I'm a former adventurer, I'm used to this kind of work.

Well, I'll bake and cook what I cut up! I do it all the time in the cafeteria, so let me handle it.

I'll get a plate to put it on. I've got some big ones at home!

　Then each of us decides on our own assignments and begins to get to work.



"Alright, you guys! If you want to eat, you need to work! And then I'll feed you like crazy.

　In front of them, I just cross my arms and say it like a big man. In fact, I'm great because I got the credit for providing the food.

　Ha ha ha, work, you fools.



　-Well, maybe that's because I let each one that came along help with the job.

　When I saw the crowd growing, more and more people gathered, and I added more monster meat to match the size of the crowd, so the work was growing and the clamor grew.

　People started to gather from somewhere, and I added more monster meat to match the increased number of people and let them help me dismantle it.


　--Before I knew it, the area around the orphanage became a festive atmosphere.
