　Bathrooms were located separately in each guest room.

　Maybe we should build an open-air bath for everyone on the island. There are plans to add a bath in the general store, and I've already asked Trinh to renovate the liquor store. Maybe it will be ready when I get back, but I haven't bought a bathtub or more furniture yet.

"Well, I guess I'm going to have to give up now."

We each went to our hastily assigned private bath rooms, but Cal and I were not wet, so there was no need to take a bath. I don't feel comfortable taking a bath in someone's house, let alone in an inn, so I plan to take a bath after I return home.

　Cal is supposed to be having some sort of debriefing with the Prime Minister, the boy king, and Yuni and the others. I'm skipping it because it's too much trouble.

White gives me a half-awed look, but I don't care. He is now approaching Aldvaan with a brush.

When White says he is leaving, I put my cheek against his to check the moistness and smoothness of his skin.

"See you later, White."

A few minutes later, Aldvaan is slumped in my lap. It's like déjà vu. I miss the time when I met White.

　After petting him for a while, he wakes up and comes into my lap.

Silent in the bosom. Definitely the black one!

　He ends the fluff time by lightly patting Black on his clothes as he enters his pocket, and takes out <>. The dark-colored cover opens to reveal a series of blank pages. He puts the bell-like incense burner which Ishvaan gave him on the blank paper. The incense burner dives into the pages of the picture book like water swallowing a drop of water.

　I was a little confused about how to use it, but it seems to be the right thing to do. A pattern decorating the edge of the white page appears, and the whole page becomes dark, and the picture of the black figure stretching vaguely and the incense burner appears. ...... Could this darkness be inside my clothes?　I spread the collar of my jacket and peeked in. Yes, the picture became brighter and the black moved, so it's definitely inside my clothes.

　--What about when he is close to me without calling me through the picture book?　It's a mystery.

　I'll add the white tiger, Liddell, and Kuzunoha later. Speaking of which, what should we do about the "dependents"?　Bahamut and White please ......, or no more Mistiffs. There may be more on the island, but I can't and won't take them into battle.

　Maybe the best kind to place more of them in dungeons of my own making, but I can't think of anything but dragons. My ambition is to place as many dragons as possible. And if you can end it with Bahamut ......, no one will be able to conquer it no matter what happens on the way!　I can't do it either.

Galahad came into the room with a towel around his neck. He always does the raven's swim, but this time it had been longer, so he must have gotten cold.

I just finished polishing Bahamut and served him the loin meat dropped from the Minotaur. I stopped and heard a cry of urging.

The next to return was Eagle, who saw me cuddling the tiles that had been evoked as promised, and locked the door as he entered.

After taking a bath, Camilla smelled differently from usual and kissed me on the hairline of my forehead. Her face is at zero distance from mine, and her breasts are close too!　What a perk for just handing over the towel.

　Now, I could have done everything with my skills, but the first time I make a dish, I want to adjust the taste to my liking and register it. So I use my skills to save time, but I cook in the kitchen every time. I like the smell and the appearance of the food when I am making it, because they stimulate my appetite.

　First, heat the back fat of the pork to remove the oil. The white fat shrinks rapidly and is replaced by a flood of fat that bubbles up in little bubbles.

Not now, though, because dinner will not be served. Besides, if you eat too much of this, the fat will give you heartburn, and it's only good in small quantities.

　A block of pork is rubbed with salt and sansho (Japanese pepper) and then deep-fried in the fat. The heat is reduced and accelerated, and by the time the fat cools down, the big chunks of meat are moist and the fat is juicy.

　Cut carrots and daikon radish into half-moon slices, burdock root into thin diagonal slices, lotus root, taro, shiitake and maitake mushrooms, drained tofu, torn konnyaku, chicken ...... fry in a thick pan with sake and soup stock, soy sauce to taste. You don't have to add broth, but if you add a lot of mushrooms, the flavor will deepen by itself. And for some reason, it tastes better when made in large quantities.

　The main dish is Kenchen Udon noodles with fried rice cake. The inclusion of chicken is a departure from the vegetarian Kenchin Jiru, but that's okay. Dessert is not served yet, but it is ice cream mixed with berries.

　Cal is eating a carrot unusually. I think it's because the carrots themselves have lost their taste, as the flavors have blended together and their overall taste has returned. I feel like I've succeeded in getting my kid to eat a vegetable he hates.
