　I was chilled to my core by the vitriolic abuse that Eunice hurled at Goldens and the others. Strong words that cut into a woman's heart seriously frighten her even if she is not involved in the relationship. However, I was easily healed by Betty who I met at the inn, so I guess I am a simple man.

　I wonder if Betty was talking about the process of making soy sauce when she said she wanted soy sauce, not the soy sauce itself.

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

　Well, she still holds on to the jar of soy sauce that I gave her, and she doesn't seem to let go of it. .......

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

"Well, do you mean to make soy sauce in a commercial guild?"

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

　Betty is about to plunge herself into work hell, should we stop her?

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

　...... no good. Betty's serious eyes are completely blinded by the bonus. Maybe she is thinking <>.

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

　I don't think she'll stop even if I warn her.

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

"No. The job of the commercial guild is to set up a system to make soy sauce and sell it. They make a lot of money with the cooking guild..."

　Betty is talking about greed, but unlike Marie, I don't get the sense that she is a miser.

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

　Maybe it's the difference between money and eating good food with money.

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

"Of course, I will guarantee Yuta's profit. So, please!"

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

　Betty, who seemed to be in a hurry, repeated her words to me, as if she took my nonsense thoughts as a rejection.

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

　She seems quite desperate, perhaps because she is on the verge of getting the bonus.

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

　As for me, I welcome the popularity of soy sauce as it adds variety to my diet, but when it comes to profits, I'm a little reluctant to try it.

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

　As extravagant as it sounds, I have more than enough money to spare, so the responsibility that comes with making a profit is more troublesome.

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

　...... Okay, I'll put it to Mr. Torque and Martha.

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

　Marie is fine, but she's still in the punishment period, and I'd feel safer leaving the cooking to Torque.

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

"I don't mind if you teach him how to make soy sauce. I'll leave all the profits to Mr. Toruku and Martha, so please discuss it with them."

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

　Mr. Toruku would not try to monopolize the new seasoning, and Mr. Martha is a firm believer, so he would probably take care of it for a little profit on top of his own labor.

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

　I'll get less hassle and soy sauce will go viral, Torque and the others will get soy sauce at a discount and a little profit, and Betty will get the soy sauce process and a bonus.

　That's what the Omi merchants have in mind, <>. I have nothing to do with Omi, but ......?　If the world is happy with this new seasoning, does that mean it's a <?

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

　We may have gone beyond the Omi merchants.

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

　Oh, I'm not even a merchant when I don't consider profit. It was a problem before I crossed over.

"Yuta-san, it was the same with milk, but you haven't changed. What a waste!"

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

　Being taken aback by the pouting Betty is more damaging than one might think.

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

I'm not good at negotiating, you know. I have another new seasoning, are you interested in it?

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

　If this happens, let's leave the miso production to Betty.

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

　Miso has a longer history and should be easier to make than soy sauce, so we should be able to make it work.

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

　We are not planning to increase Betty's workload to get back at her. It is an offer made in good faith.

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

"New seasoning!　Yuta, is it good?"

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

　Betty bites easily. It's as if you don't need to put bait on the hook to catch fish.

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

"Yes, it's delicious. Would you like to try it?"

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

"I'll try it!"　

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

　You're a real piece of work, aren't you?

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

"I don't know what you're trying to test, but you're bothering the other customers by talking forever in front of the stairs. I'll give you a private room in the cafeteria to talk!"

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

　Martha got angry with me. I was on my way back to my room.

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

　I can't take him to my room, so I'll take Martha's word for it.

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

　I'll take Martha's word for it and ask her to join us for the tasting and discussion.

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

I'm sorry, I have to go. I also have a favor to ask you, Martha, if you would join us in our discussion.

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

"Me too?　Well, it's difficult because it's dinner time. After that, I'd be happy to help.

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

　You are indeed busy at this time of the day. It's easier to talk about it all together, so I'd like to break it up if I could, but Betty is .......

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

"I'm hungry!"

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

　The word "dinner" has stimulated my stomach to growl, and I seem to be doing all right.

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

　After feeding Belle and the others and providing Nomos with drinks, let's invite Gina and the others to join Betty and the others for dinner.

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

　** **

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

"Um, so I'd like to give you a sample of the new seasoning. ...... Betty, can you eat it?"

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

　I had just had dinner and Martha had arrived, so it was time for tasting, but I wondered if Betty, who had eaten more than twice as much dinner as I had, could afford to eat any more food.

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

　Gina and the others were all wide-eyed.

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

"Don't worry. I'm hungry for the tasting.

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

　He eats more than twice as much as I do and still has room in his stomach. If there's a gluttony event, I'm sure he'll win.

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

"So you're talking about a new seasoning. Sounds interesting, but I'm afraid the house is going to be in an uproar again.

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

　Martha is right, Mr. Torque is sure to make a fuss.

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

"I will give the new seasoning to Mr. Martha as well as the soy sauce, so you can control him."

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

"That would be great. So what kind of new seasonings do you have?　You asked me to prepare raw vegetables, so I did.

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

No, it is a seasoning that can be used for baking, simmering, and many other dishes. The reason I asked you to prepare raw vegetables is because it is easy to see how delicious the seasoning is."

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

　I think cucumbers dipped in miso and bit into whole cucumbers are the best.

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

　Well, since I said "raw vegetables", they even prepared tomatoes. ......Biting a tomato whole is delicious, but what about dipping it in miso?

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

　...... doesn't sound bad, but I'd avoid the tomatoes just in case.

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

　Huh?　Come to think of it, would tomatoes be classified as a vegetable in this world?

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

　......Well, let's not worry about whether tomatoes are a vegetable or a fruit, because that would be a sterile debate.

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

Here it is."

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

　Betty and Martha's expressions clouded over as I took the miso out of my magic bag and showed it to them.

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

　Since the miso looks like that, it is natural for them to react like this when they see it for the first time.

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

　I'm used to this reaction after Sylphy and the others, so I explain calmly.

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

It's delicious! It has a unique flavor and a deep richness, with just the right amount of saltiness to complement the vegetables.

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

"Hmm. It may not look like it, but it sure is tasty. Oh, don't eat so much, Betty. It's a tasting, so taste it properly!

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

"I'm sure I've tasted it, don't worry!"

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

　They both seemed to like the taste. I was a little relieved, because what suits the Japanese palate does not necessarily suit the palates of people from other worlds.

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

You're such a good boy, aren't you? So Yuta, I know this miso seasoning is delicious. Should I let Toruku cook with it?

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

"No, he wants to sell miso and soy sauce in a commercial guild, so I'm hoping Martha can help him with that."

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

　If you don't bother to ask him to cook for you, Torque will do the research on his own, so there is no problem in leaving him alone. I am more worried about his overwork.

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

"I see. Is it the same as before?"

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

"Yes. I'm sorry to trouble you, but thank you for your cooperation.

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

"All right. It's in the best interest of the house, so leave it to me."

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

　Martha gives her consent with a thump on the chest. I've thrown myself into this project many times, so I'm glad to hear it so quickly.

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

"Betty. When are you going to start manufacturing?

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

"Ng. Let's see... ...... I don't know yet because I haven't even heard how to make it yet. But it's delicious, so I'm going to do my best!

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

"Yes, you haven't decided on the specifics yet. Well, you'll have to come see me when you're ready to talk.

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

I understand.

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

"Yuta. If you don't have anything else to do, I'm going back to work, is that all right with you?"

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

"Oh, yes. Thank you very much. Oh, please take the miso with you.

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

"Yes. I'll have to hide it better."

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

　It seems that miso won't be in Mr. Toruku's hands for a while. Is he still working too hard on his research of curry and soy sauce?

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

　We saw Martha off, and then it was over. Now all that remains is to teach Betty how to make soy sauce and miso and we're done. ...... No, we have to stop Betty first.

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

　Betty's hands never stop munching on the raw vegetables on the platter.

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

"The process is called ......."

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

　Finally, he finished explaining.

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

　In the end, Betty finished all the raw vegetables on the platter, but it was not a waste of time since she could tell that the tomatoes were not bad, although the water content of the tomatoes was bothersome.

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

　Well, I doubt if I can make miso and soy sauce just by explaining them, but I wrote down the production process on a piece of paper and will ask Vita to provide yeast later, so I'm sure I'll make mistakes, but I'm sure I'll be able to handle it eventually.

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

　I have a hard time assuring you that it will be all right, since I have been relying on Vita so much.

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

"Moo..."

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

"Is something wrong?　If there's anything you don't understand, I'll explain it to you again, okay?"

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

　Betty is having an incredibly hard time.

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

"So far I understand what you are talking about.

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

"Then why do you look so difficult?"

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

　If you don't understand it, why bother if you do?

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

"It's soybeans.

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

　I see. Soybeans are used as animal feed, right? That might be a bottleneck to promote it as a seasoning.

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

"Is there a problem with using feed as a seasoning?"

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

"No, some people eat it, so there is no problem there.

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

　I'm getting more and more confused. What other difficult problems are there?

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

"Ugh. We asked people to mass produce soybeans to increase the number of cows for milk, and now it's too hard to convince them to produce more!

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

　It seems that my past actions have affected me in ways I never thought possible.

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

　I see, you have finally realized that you are on a straight line to work hell. I've been thinking and worrying about it.

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

"Yuta-san. How about postponing the miso and soy sauce for a while?

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

　Betty makes the decision to postpone with a serious expression on her face. It seems that personal danger outweighed the bonus.

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

"I've already talked to Martha, so if you can tell her to postpone the meeting, that's fine.

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

"Oh, no, I can't! If you postpone it because of the hard work, it will be hard to have a good meal here. I'll do my best at ......."

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

　For Betty, it seems that a good meal outweighs bonuses and personal danger.

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

　Well, you deserve it in some respects, and good luck with that.
