　With the help of the belles, we had fun harvesting the rice. Soon we will be able to eat the shiny new rice.

Master, how do you eat this rice?　Is it good?"

　Marco asks me with great interest. Well, what do you think?　I've heard that even on Earth, some foreigners don't like the smell of rice, but what about the beastmen of other worlds?　At any rate, I know it is dangerous to raise the ...... hurdle.

"Well, it's not particularly tasty, is it? It's like bread for Marco, so for me it's a food I'd be sad without. I know some dishes, maybe Marco and his friends will like them."

　I nodded as Sarah stared at me when she heard the word "cooking. She wants to help me cook.

"I see... I don't know about that, but I'm looking forward to it!

　My explanation didn't make much sense to him. Well, I'll do my best not to disappoint you. I'll just stick to white rice, but what should I feed the kids?

　But before I can think about that, I have to get the rice ready to eat. Let's work hard on the final details. Conveniently, the rice hangs on three branches. This makes it easy to separate them.

　One is to leave it as it is and let it dry in the sun. The second one is to be dried for a short time by Sylphy with hot air. The last one is to be drained by Dine. The question is whether my tongue can tell the difference between the rice dried this way and the rice dried that way. I'm starting to think it's impossible.

　Well, let's just give it a try. If I can't figure it out, then I'll just take the easiest way. I'll call Sylphy and Dine and ask them.

　The method I asked Dine to use to drain the water out of the rice was fine, but Sylphy asked me, "How hot is hot air? This question was a headache for us. I felt that if the air was too hot, it might be dangerous, so I decided to let the air blow at a temperature that I could feel was a little hot, and let it dry for a little time. I'm not sure if it's safe to do so.

　Now I have to remove the rice husks and polish the rice to make it white, but I'll ask Sylphy to do that for me. If I explain it to him, he should be able to handle it with the power of the wind.

　......I'm hungry. I'd like to have a lunch of freshly made white rice if possible, but it's going to take a while, so I'll have a normal lunch and the white rice at night.

　Prepare lunch and feed it to the kids. Sarah and the kids were probably very hungry from the rice planting and harvesting, and they ate more than usual. I served sandwiches between lunch and lunch, but they said it was not enough.

　They are getting bigger and firmer, probably because they are eating a lot and exercising a lot.

　After lunch was over and I didn't need any help, I sent Belle and her friends to play and Sarah and her friends to train. I'm going to have to work hard to make sure we have enough white rice to eat at night.

　While the rice is drying, there are ...... a few things to do!　Rice has to be cooked before you can eat it. I don't have a rice cooker, so I have to cook the rice myself.

　I've never cooked rice in a pot. Hajimetechorodoro is a way to cook rice in a pot, right? Is it the same way?　I try to take out the pot, but the lid is not secure and I don't think I can cook it well. I'm in a lot of trouble.

"Nomos, I need you to cook something for me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmm?　Yes, that's fine. What are you going to make?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is difficult to explain with words, so I will draw a diagram to illustrate. Cooking in a cauldron seems to be difficult, so I will ask you to make a rice container. I've used a rice pot several times at barbecues and camping trips. I should be able to handle it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I told him what I knew in as much detail as possible, and asked him to make three rice containers that faithfully reproduce the lid and inner lid to the point where they become dishes. One is not enough for the number of people who will be eating. For the ingredients for the rice containers, I provided them with pots that I had stocked up on. Next time I go to the labyrinth city, I'll have to buy more food and pots and pans.

"Yuta, the rice is dry!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I heard a long-awaited voice. We are at the final stage, almost to the rice. I hurry to thank Dine and check the condition of the rice. Well, I had never seen rice on rice before, so I didn't know what to expect. Let's just say there is no problem. The next step is to remove the kernels from the rice.

"Well, Sylphy, can you thresh the rice with the help of wind?　After that, I want you to remove the rice husks and polish the rice."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If not, I'll have to ask Nomos to make one from a thousand-tooth comb, which will be a bit of a hassle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, there is no problem until the rice husks are removed, but how do I polish the rice?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It doesn't sound like you'll need a thousand-tooth scrubber. Can you mill rice at ......?　Let me try to explain anyway.

"I think you can grind rice by making a whirlpool of wind and rubbing the berries against each other.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, yes, we can do that. I'll do it then."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can do it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, please."

　I've told her what I want, so it's up to Sylphy to do the rest. As I was watching with a little excitement what would happen, countless small tornadoes were born and approaching the ears of rice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, it looks like a Datsun vacuum cleaner. When the tornado hits the ear of rice, the fierce wind sucks the berries out of the rice. The sucked-in rice is spinning violently inside the tornado, blowing away the chaff at the same time.

　Hmm?　There are three layers of rice, including the fine dust such as stalks, rice husks, and brown rice. Is this where they sort the rice? It's amazing that you could make it this far with my vague explanation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"All I have to do now is rub these fruits together and polish them, right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sylphy, who has sucked out all the berries, looks at me. The sucked out fruits are already in the state of brown rice, swimming in a big spherical wind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Uh-huh."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay. I'm not sure how well it's polished, so I'll send some rice to Yuta and you can judge it by that."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I responded, the sphere of wind that contained the brown rice shrank rapidly, and the brown rice rubbed against each other in the wind and was polished.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After a few moments, the wind brought a grain of rice in front of me. I guess I should check it out, because Sylphy is looking at me. I look at the rice and see that it is a little brownish. The bran has not been removed yet. I ask her to continue milling.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After repeated checks, the rice looks like the rice in a bag that I know. Looking at the white grains, I suddenly burst into tears. Wiping my tears, I tell him that I have had enough of milling the rice. I was a little embarrassed.

"Yuta, what's wrong?　Are you okay?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm fine. When I saw the rice, I was so happy or relieved that I cried. I've wanted to eat rice for a long time, but I guess I was relieved that I don't have to hold back anymore."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I came to this world, every time I had a meal, I wanted to eat rice, so it was hard for me to resist. I used to think every time that I should definitely have pork meat or pork bowl. Thinking that from now on I won't have to feel like that anymore, I can shed a tear or two, can't I?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Is that so?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sylphy tilts her head, apparently not understanding what is going on. Well, it's no wonder she doesn't know, since she doesn't have to eat anything.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't know, I was thinking that Shilfi has gone to a world where there is no alcohol and she will never be able to drink alcohol again, but then by some chance she found alcohol and now she can drink as much as she wants.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......I see, that makes me happy."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sylphy nods her head. She seems to understand. Alcohol is an important factor when explaining things to the Great Spirit. I don't have any substance other than alcohol to make them bite.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If we work hard to develop the earth's alcoholic beverages, the Great Spirit will do as he pleases. ......He's cooperating with us enough now, and I'd be afraid of him if he wields any more power. I'm afraid he's going to get more power than I'm willing to give him.

"So, Yuta, aside from the rice, can I throw away the polished powder?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　By "powder" you mean bran. I'm supposed to be able to make pickles with bran, but I've never done so. I've heard of using salt and hot pepper, but, well, I'll save it and try it when I feel like it. It could also be used as fish bait, so it wouldn't be a waste to have it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, we'll use the powder too, so put it in this bag. Put the rice in this bag, please."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He takes out a cloth bag and puts the rice and bran in it separately. The rice alone is enough for three large cloth bags. Two bags of the same amount of rice are already covered with the cloth, so we should be okay for the time being. Well, we'd better get dinner ready right away. We have a long time before dinner, but it won't be a problem if we store it in the magic bag. First we'll move to the house.

"Hey, Sala. Come here while I cook.

　As promised, we invite Sarah to join us and start cooking. Oops, we'll need Belle and Rain to help too. Belle and Rain are perfect for making the fire and washing the water.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We start the long-awaited cooking with Sara, Belle, and Rain. I've decided to have dried and white rice when the rice is ready, so it's no problem for me, but what should I feed Belle and Sarah? White rice seems to be too hard to start with, so the only rice dishes that come to mind ...... are fried rice and omelette rice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since I don't have eggs on hand, I can't make an omelette, so if I have to make one, it would be either fried rice or chicken rice. The first impression of bright red rice might give a strange impression, so I'll go with fried rice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I would like to put an egg in fried rice as well, but I'm going to hold off this time. Next time I visit the labyrinth city, I'll look for eggs.

Bel, please make the charcoal for the grill and the wood for the fire next to it. Rain, I need you to clean the rice and vegetables we harvested this time.

　Belle and Rain, excited to help, raised their right hands and right fins high in the air, and then began to help.

"Sarah, when Rain has finished washing the vegetables, I want you to chop the onions and slice the leeks into rounds," Belle said. The onions will start to tear when you cut them, so ask Huku to put a film of wind in front of your face to make it easier to cut them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay. Please, Fuchu-chan, I'm counting on you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even in other worlds, cutting onions brings tears. There are ways to prevent tears, such as slightly warming onions in a microwave oven or soaking them in water while cutting, but in fantasy worlds, there are certain measures that can be taken only in fantasy worlds.

　If there is magic, you needn't be afraid of allyl sulfide from onions. With the power of magic, you can chop onions as fast as you like. ...... It would be faster if you ask Fuku-chan or Belle to mince onions as they are. ......Sarah's culinary training, so it's all right this time. Let's put it that way.

"Cue cue."

"Oh, you've finished washing. The new rice and vegetables look so shiny. Thank you, Rain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I pat Rain's head and cheeks and thank him. I told him to go play with her, since I didn't have to help him later, and he rubbed me and Belle, then flew away with a "squeak squeak". He is still very cute.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Now, I have a shiny new rice in front of me. Now it's time to cook rice. I'm going to make a nice roasted rice.
