At the very least, we can't reduce our strength until we've solved the bravery problem.
　I have good contraception.

'I'm sorry. Please come in anyway. You're probably tired, and I'll make something good for your digestion today. But tomorrow we're going to have a big feast to celebrate, so look forward to it. You'll have to help me with that, Lug-chan and Tart-chan.
Yeah, I'll contribute to the hunt. It's been a while since I've had an Arvan rabbit.
I'll help you prepare.

As soon as I left, I was surprised to return to my hometown, which I had missed.
　Let's celebrate the birth of our new family while resting our wings.
　To do so, we must first secure a feast.
　Let's go out into the forest and hunt.

It takes roughly 0.1 second to rotate a line 360 degrees, which is less than 0.1 second, but it's still an oversight.
　However, such a super-short period of time is usually not a problem.
　And when it comes down to it, you can use it differently.
　If you're using it as an aid to close quarters combat, 0.1 seconds is fatal, but in that case, you can deploy it in a conventional circle. In close quarters combat, the deployment range is not so large.

''Well, let's hunt.''

I take the crossbow out of the [Crane Leather Bag].
　The gun has better range and power. However, the gun is too powerful and the meat hurts too much. If you want to get even a little good meat, this one is better.
　The arrows loaded in the crossbow were removed and a new arrow was loaded.
　This is because the crossbow was thought to be used for assassination, and the poisoned arrows were placed in the storage bag with the loaded arrows.
　If I killed him with this kind of thing, everyone except me and my father, who has acquired poison resistance through training, would be devoured.

The crossbow is useful in some way, so this is how I prepared it. There is no sound. I even think it's more suitable for assassination than guns.
　Preparing and releasing an arrow.
　The arrow that flew through the gaps in the trees pierced the neck of the Alvan rabbit, right on target.

''First a rabbit.

Alvan rabbits are large rabbits, about the size of a medium-sized dog, and they're good to eat.
　But they all eat well, and I'd like to have another one.

◇

We finished the hunt and headed down the mountain.
　Today we had two Alvan rabbits and a wild boar. Plus I gathered a basket full of mushrooms and wildflowers. I have to thank [Crane Leather Bag] for that.

As expected, it's a hassle to get down the mountain with this large load on my back.
　Once we finish dismantling it, we'll share it with the lords.
　Aside from the Arvan rabbits, it's tough to eat a wild boar.
　Before we knew it, it had turned into autumn.
　It's time to start thinking about how to survive the winter.

◇

After the dismantling, I handed the village's chief engineer a sack of wild boar and rabbit fur and asked him to serve it to everyone.
　The fatty and delicious wild boar meat was a feast for the villagers, and they were happy with the fluffy and warm Arvan rabbit pelts, which they could sell for a high price in the coming winter.
　In return, they gave me some fresh vegetables. I'll use these for tomorrow's feast as well.

And now I'm in the kitchen.
　Even though we'll be making the feast tomorrow, there are some things that need to be prepared.
　Some of the spices should be rubbed in and left overnight. Especially the spices that go well with wild boar.

This kind of preparation makes the food taste even better.

I'm back. Your mother and the tart are both very enthusiastic. What do I know? You're here too?
That's a surprise to me. I want to learn to cook, too.

Dia puffs out her cheeks.
　I thought Nevan and Dia were experts at eating, but unusually, Dia was helping out as well.
　However, it seems that it's hard to say that they are currently in a fighting force.
　Following Dear, Mom and Tart turn to me.

''Ah, welcome back. It's as expected of you, Rougu-chan. Such a delicious-looking prey in such a short time.
Alwan the rabbit and the wild boar. They both look delicious.
What? That meat is an Arvan rabbit!　Make it a stew and a gratin!　That's a favorite of mine ever since Lug made it for me back in the day.
'I'm going to make the Alvan rabbits into stew and gratin. I'm thinking of making the wild boar one into a whack.

I wanted to target the Alvan rabbit because I wanted Dia to have her favorite cream stew and gratin, so of course I planned to do that.
　And to use a wild boar as a swat, this is also a new magic experiment.

''What's a whack, Roug, what is a whack?　I don't know how to cook it.
That'll have to wait until tomorrow. I see you have some Lunan trout cured in barley.
'Yes. I like you and Kian as well, Lougie.

The two of us are making fish dishes.
　We have a big lake in Tauaharde, and we eat a lot of fish dishes, such as lunan trout, which is a kind of trout, and it's a taste of home for me.

In Tauaharde, fishing has long been banned during the spawning season and other times of the year to preserve the bounty of nature.
　For this reason, fish preservation techniques were developed to ensure that people had something to eat when fishing was not allowed.
　In the beginning, they only thought about preserving the fish, but by the time my grandfather was born, the Touahade became richer and more concerned with how to make it taste better.
　The dried lunan trout and other foods made in Tauahade are tweaked in a way that makes sense, and they are different from the stuff you can't find anywhere else.
　I'm sure it will be a popular product in the commercial city of Murteau, as it's not something to be ashamed of, no matter where it's presented.

And what the two of them are making is Lunan trout cured in barley. It is a local dish of Touahade where fish is pickled in bran made from barley.
　If you make it in this way, you can preserve and deepen the taste of the fish. Lunang trout pickles are excellent when steamed, and it is customary for people to eat it on special occasions.
　You may think it's strange that fish is pickled in salted vegetables, but it's not so unusual that fish and meat are pickled in salted vegetables even in the world before reincarnation. Theoretically, it's not so different from marinating fish in salted malt.

It's a very nice Lunan trout. The size is great, and the fat is amazing.

Extraordinary. Lunammas like this one are rare.

'Hans gave it to me to celebrate. If it's this good, it's a steaming one!　If I'm going to steam it, I'm going to marinate it overnight, so I'm preparing it with the tart. I'm looking forward to it.
Yes, I'm sure it's very good. It's just that, well... it's not very popular with people from other domains. "Pike in barley and rannyard pike

Without a doubt, it has a much more flavorful component than eating it raw. The taste is good.
　But somehow, the fate of fermented food is that it has a unique smell, and many people say it's not good. Or rather, even some of the people of Touahade don't like it.
　Nevan is definitely new to it, and Diah has probably never had it either.
　I'm worried that the girls will reject it.

Instead of steaming it, the braniness would disappear if you fry it with a large amount of spices, for example, but that kind of seasoning is a waste when it's such a stunning lunanmouth. I would like to simply savor the goodness of the ingredients.

I'd rather not. It's a decision to make it a steamed fish. You can't be a Touahade woman if you can't taste this!　Besides, I can't believe you're making another dish out of Lug and Kian's favorite food!

Beep!　He pointed at the Lunanmouth in the barley pickle with such a sharpness that you could almost hear the sound effect.
　You have a point.
　But at the same time, I think it's better to give him a cushion to get used to it.
　Then......

"Mom, can you leave the steamed fish to me?
You're definitely up to something, aren't you?
'Not at all, I learned how to steam a very good fish in Murteau and I wanted my mother to have it too. It's amazing, it's so good, it locks in the flavor of the fish perfectly, it's so moist. It makes me want to say, "What is this steamed fish I've been eating? I think this Lunan trout cured in wheat cereal would be a great treat.
'Ugh, now that you mention it, I'm curious. Gulp. But I promise. You must have a steaming fish.
Yeah, I'm on it.

I smile.
　Actually, it's a lie to say that I learned it in Murteu, but the truth is that I learned the technique in a previous life.
　The best steaming technique I know.
　With that, I'm sure my mom would be happy and Dia and Nevan would be able to enjoy the results.
　It's a chef's skill that I originally acquired to disguise my identity as a cook to get into the pockets of my assassination targets.
　It's strange that this is how he is treated to please his mother, lover and friends.
　My first life was lived as a tool.
　But I can proudly say that my first life was not in vain.
　Because of my first life, I can learn various skills and make them smile.

At the very least, we can't reduce our strength until we've solved the bravery problem.
　I have good contraception.
