Knead the flour, water and salt in a glass bowl.

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

Today was my first time making dumplings.

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

I am not sure if it will be successful because I make it from memory.

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

But even if I fail, I should be able to manage since I am making it with edible ingredients.

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

It takes a lot of work, doesn't it?

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

Yes, it is. It's probably the best I've ever cooked."

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

The dishes I have made so far are easy compared to today's dumplings.

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

I don't know if I've been able to reproduce it exactly, though, as my memory is a little hazy in some areas.

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

At any rate, it is an edible dish.

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

I think so. I have a question for you, Mr. Druid.

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

I look at Mr. Druid, who is dexterously kneading the dough with one hand while cutting vegetables to put inside the dumplings.

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

She asks, "Do you ever get a jolt of shock and your memory goes fuzzy like Mr. Ashri's?"

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

I've always wondered about that.

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

When I remembered Ashli from that day, I was able to receive her normally.

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

There was nothing strange about it, I can tell you.

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

Yet, I was surprised when she told me later that she did not remember.

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

I guess it can happen when you are mentally or psychologically shocked. Also, sometimes a shock to the head can erase the memory of what happened before and after.

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

I see."

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

Ashli, you didn't have a shock to your head, so that means you had a mental or psychological shock.

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

Was she so reluctant to admit to herself that she was afraid of demons?

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

Some of us who have been attacked by demons are as traumatized as the members of the Ashri group. Some of them can't overcome it and give up being adventurers or vigilantes."

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

Are there even people who quit?

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

There is always a teacher in each village or town who specializes in this field. But even going to them is a struggle.

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

Conflicted?

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

Oh. It takes a lot of courage to expose your weaknesses to others, even if you know they can help you.

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

Yeah.

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

It took courage for me to admit that I too was starless.

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

There is a difference between understanding it in your head and accepting it properly.

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

I am here now with the support of many people.

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

I'm sure you're going to be okay, right Ashli?"

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

He will be fine. He's got a lot to get through, but he's got a good boss.

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

Good.

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

He's surrounded by people with a lot of experience.

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

I am sure he will get over it.

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

Is this the kind of kneading you want?"

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

The ideal is about as soft as an earlobe.

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

...... that seems obvious, but I don't know."

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

Eh, just about.

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

I've mixed the vegetables and meat and made the filling, now all I have to do is wrap it up.

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

......, you have to stretch the skin into a round shape.

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

'Mr. Druid, I want you to make little spheres like this.

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

Take a small amount of kneaded wheat and spin it around to make a beautiful sphere.

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

Show it to the druid and ask him to remember the size.

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

He says, "All right, just make it a sphere the same size, okay?"

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

I'm not sure. If you make it a sphere, it seems easier to work on the next one."

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

The small spheres are stretched on a wooden board using a rolling pin.

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

I bought this rolling pin for today.

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

"Hmmm, it's hard to stretch it into a nice circular shape."

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

I'm clumsy, I know.

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

Still, I feel like it could be a little more beautifully circular in its crust.

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

Do you think I could wrap it ......?

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

We both worked silently and finally got the last piece.

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

Compared to the first one, we were able to stretch it into a beautiful circle.

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

I am tired.

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

I still need to wrap the ingredients in the skin.

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

It's still a lot of work.

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

But now that I've come this far, I'm almost there!

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

Place the filling in the center of the stretched skin and wrap it in the skin.

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

If I'm not careful, the skin is going to tear.

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

I got it.

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

I could wrap it up, but it's all very awkward.

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

Besides.

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

Good work. What's up?"

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

Mr. Druid looks at me with a curious expression as I place a single dumpling in his palm and wrinkle my brow.

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

He looks at me with a curious expression on his face, "It's more than twice the size of the dumpling I remember, why is that?"

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

No matter how you look at it, it sticks out of your palm.

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

Ideally, it would be big enough to eat in about two bites, but no matter how you look at it ......, you can't eat it in two bites.

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

It's not a problem if it's big. It's just that it's a good size. What are you going to do with it?

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

Hmmm, I think I'll grill today."

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

I could do that.

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

Mr. Druid picked up a frying pan.

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

After browning it a little, he put water in it, covered it with a lid, and steamed it.

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

Roger that."

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

As the druid is baking, I prepare a salad and white rice.

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

Shall we eat in the room today?

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

Yeah, I guess so."

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

I am a little tired of cooking for the first time and would like to enjoy a relaxing meal in my room.

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

Still, I didn't expect it to take this much effort.

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

I didn't expect it to take so much work, but it turned out fine. Yes, it's done.

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

All the dishes except for the dumplings have already been moved to the room, so all I have to do is bring the baked dumplings.

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

It smells so good. I'm so hungry!

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

I almost snagged a bite along the way, too."

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

While it was baking, I washed everything but the pan.

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

Then we can clean up after we eat.

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

Back in my room, I look at the dumplings.

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

No matter how I look at it, it's not twice as big as the dumplings I remember, but about three times as big.

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

"Itadakimasu."

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

I don't know if I got it right, but the seasoning of the ingredients was good.

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

However, the skin is too thick.

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

I guess it's a mistake, the ratio of ingredients to skin is not subtle enough.

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

Maybe the skin should be half as thick as this one.

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

Next time, I'll make the skin a little thinner. "Next time, I'll make the skin a little thinner and the size a little smaller.

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

This is good, but surely the skin could be a little thinner.

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

Seasoning seems to be okay.

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

Thanks for the food."

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

The two of us cleaned up, finished our baths, and are resting comfortably on the bed.

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

I said, "Oh!　I forgot."

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 had one more question I wanted to ask Mr. Druid.

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

I was going to ask, I was going to ask, but it's just so unimportant that I forget.

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

What is it?"

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

Mr. Tablo. Mr. Tablo ...... has a name similar to Tablo, why is this?"

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

Oh, that. It must be in honor of Tablo the Brave."

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

Brave man?

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

There was a time, long ago, when this entire world was overrun with demons.

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

When I looked up the history of this country in a book, I didn't find anything about a time when it was overrun with demons.

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

How long ago was that?　When I researched the country's history, there was never a time when it was overrun with demons."

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

I don't know exactly, but it was before the country took its current shape.

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

That long ago!

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

If that's the case, then you can't find it in the history of the country.

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

The man who encouraged and guided people when the world was flooded with demons and eliminated them from this world. His name is Tabloo. He is said to be the first brave man in the world.

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

There is such a person.

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

There are parents who give their children similar names, hoping that their children will have that person's courage and sense of justice. It's not as common as it used to be, but it's still one of the most popular names out there."

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

I see, so that's why there are so many names similar to Tablow.

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

Someone must have been that great.

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

It's amazing that they eliminated the demons that flooded the world.

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

Though it was a long time ago, so it could be exaggerated.

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

I wonder if that's possible.

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

But it should be true to some extent.

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

Tablo, my father's name.

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

Did he have his justice?

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

Are you okay?"

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

You seem to have something on your mind."

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

Then Mr. Druid reaches between my eyebrows.

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

Maybe there was a wrinkle etched in it.

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

I'm fine."

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

I don't mean to ponder.

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

Because it's all in the past. ......

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

Come to think of it, I don't suffer as much as I used to when I remember the family I abandoned.

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

Before, I felt bitter, frustrated and sad.

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

So I tried not to remember.

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

But now, when I remember, I know it was a sad event, but it doesn't bother me any more.

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

Okay, so you could ask about the name.

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

Because now I can no longer remember the name of the father I abandoned.

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

I see.

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

Now you seem happy, huh?"

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

I've had a happy occasion."
