You really eat 'kome,' don't you?　You're not lying, are you?"

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

Yes."

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

Both Mr. Druid and I nodded a little bemusedly, and the woman chuckled.

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

With a smile that makes me regret getting involved, I take a step back to open the distance.

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

What are you doing?"

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

I hear a voice behind me and turn around to see a man who looks like a woman.

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

I am sure he is the owner of the food store, and I think he is the woman's brother.

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

They look very much alike.

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

There he is!　A "rice" eater!　Because this bet is your brother's to lose!"

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

What?

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

Were you making bets on who would or would not eat rice?

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

And that creepy ...... little pull-your-sleeves-off smile because you won?

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

Huh?"　I lose?"

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

These are my friends!"

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

I'm certainly a fellow rice eater, but I'm not sure why, I'm not sure if I should nod my head honestly.

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

No way!"

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

The brother's voice echoes through the store.

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

And then, poof, he turns to look at us and we nod our heads.

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

'Seriously, .......'

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

I tilt my head to see my brother make a tremendous expression.

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

Would it be a shock to eat that much rice?

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

'I don't know about you, but you're an interesting sibling.

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

Mr. Druid murmurs softly in my ear.

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

It's true that the power is a little scary, but the exchange between the two of them is very interesting.

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

'Aloui, I hope you didn't plant that on me!

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

My brother is terrible. I would never do such a cowardly thing!　You're not my brother.

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

Uh, meat?

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

Huh?

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

What? You did it!　Don't tell me you've forgotten!"

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

"....... That was, well..."

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

Have you ever planted it?

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

That's not fair.

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

I mean, do you think this brother and sister make bets that often?

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

By the way, are we over there?

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

I'm sorry. It was meat, wasn't it?"

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

Thank goodness you remembered.

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

I see you two are close."

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

As Mr. Druid said.

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

"No, not at all!"

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

We're good friends, aren't we?

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

We even had the same pitch of voice, you know?

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

Um, please give me the two kinds of meat you just told me about."

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

Mr. Druid holds his mouth and conveys his wishes.

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

His shoulders are shaking slightly, and he seems to have done his best to stop himself from bursting out laughing.

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

I'm sure you'll get what you want. Grams?"

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

One kilo each, please."

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

Yes, sir. Let me ask you, you said you mix it with 'kome', how do you eat it?"

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

While weighing the meat, Arui asks me a question.

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

He said, "We cook the 'rice' and mix it with the stewed ingredients, then grip it into a mountain shape and make it into onigiri (rice balls)."

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

Mr. Druid gave a simple explanation, but I wondered if it would make sense to those who were not familiar with it.

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

...... Shaped into a mountain?　Onigiri?"

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

It's still a bit overwhelming, isn't it?

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

What would be the best way to explain it?

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

Is that...?"

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

Hey, Arui. You better leave it at that for today."

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

What?

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

What if you two catch a cold?"

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

I look out the window at my brother's words.

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

It certainly looks bad.

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

It's true. Big brother, I think he wants some of the sauce from this village, so bring it to me."

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

'Really?　There are four kinds. Which ones?"

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

There are four kinds!

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

Well, what are the different flavors?"

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

Simply put, it's sweetness."

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

It's sweetness.

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

Do people in this village like sweet taste?

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

The lightest sweet sauce, please."

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

The brother went to get the sauce and I looked outside again.

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

Considering the time of day, the sky should still be light, but the entire village is dimly lit by black clouds.

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

It hasn't come down yet, but it is only a matter of time.

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

I'm sorry," he said. You are adventurers, right?　Is the inn close by?　If it's too far away, I can wait until the rain stops."

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

It's just around the corner. Thank you."

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

The druid accepts the sauce and meat that the brother brought and pays for it.

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

Come and talk to me about 'rice' if you like," he said. Please.

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

Yes, sir. Then I will come back.

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

Thank you very much."

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

We walk to the inn in a hurry.

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

"Phew, I made it just in time."

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

As I returned to the inn and felt relieved, I began to hear the sound of rain coming from outside.

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

It seemed we had made it back to the inn just in time.

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

If I got caught in the rain in this cold weather, there was a good chance I would get sick.

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

"Are you all right?"

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

As I look out the front door of the inn, Mr. Salifa comes rushing in with a towel.

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

It looks like he is replenishing the towels, which he is allowed to use freely.

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

It's all right," he said. I made it back to the inn before it started raining.

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

I'm glad to hear that. I would have gotten sick if I had been exposed to this cold rain. But you must be cold.　Please take a bath and warm yourself properly."

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

Yes. Thank you."

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

Ahhh!　Listen, I need a little favor.

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

Yes?　Yes, sir?"

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

Dora brought me a 'rice' dish, uh, what was it ...... with meat on it ...... I can't remember the name."

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

Beef bowl?"

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

I had given Dora a beef bowl a few days ago when she expressed interest in it.

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

'Oh yes, I believe that's what it's called!　And would you be willing to teach me how to make it?"

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

That's fine, but aren't you afraid of 'kome'?"

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

There was a little bit of it, but it was all a blur in front of that deliciousness.

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

Mr. Salifa made a clenched fist.

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

She seemed to like the taste.

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

But still, there is a lot of talk about rice today.

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

After returning to the room and taking a bath to warm up, we rented the kitchen upstairs and started preparing for tomorrow's dinner.

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

I cut two kinds of meat into small pieces and cooked half of them in a sweet and spicy sauce.

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

The other half is finished by adding herbs to the sweet and spicy seasoning for a tangy change of flavor.

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

Still, I am glad I bought a few bottles of soy sauce.

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

But if we keep using them as fast as we do, they'll be gone in no time.

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

Maybe I should look for soy sauce in this town.

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

Oh, it's called ponzu in this world.

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

I might be wrong, because the name is different from what I remember.

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

I'll have to be careful.

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

Also, I'll be cooking rice at Rose's place, so I guess ...... preparations are done for now.

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

And today's dinner is "omelette rice".

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

It's been a while since I've had rice that came to my memory.

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

The bright red rice wrapped in an egg looked delicious.

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

I can't reproduce it perfectly, though, because the ingredients in my memory and the ingredients available in this world are different.

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

Since the bright red rice looks like it tastes like thoma, I wonder if I could use cooked down thoma sauce?"

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

Saute finely chopped meat and vegetables in a frying pan, then add the simmering toma sauce, then the cooked rice.

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

Hmm?　That's too much water than I remember.

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

Can you roll this ...... with an egg?

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

Let's just see what I can do and try to finish the first one.

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

...... Hmmm, failure.

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

The egg is diluted with water and doesn't wrap the rice nicely.

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

What's wrong?"

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

I kind of messed up.

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

You think so?"　It looks delicious.

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

No, I wanted to wrap it nicely in egg.

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

You don't have to wrap it, just put it on top."

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

That's true, but I wanted to make it closer to the "omelette rice" of my memory.

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

It's a little bit stubborn.

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

Okay, two!

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

...... wrapping is a lot harder than it looks.

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

Shall we eat?"

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

The druid lightly pats my depressed head.

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

But I know he's smiling!

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

It tasted like toma-flavored rice and fluffy eggs.

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

I just felt the toma flavor was a little thin.

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

I wonder if I could use more cooked down toma sauce?

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

That way there would be no excess water.

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

Let's try again.
