93 5-8 (provisional) Royal Capital One Martial Arts Tournament Qualifying-Before Departure-




In a large bento box.
Pack your sandwiches into a large lunch box.
With chicken roast and mashed potatoes.
I wrapped it with bacon, wrapped it with asparagus and tomatoes.

Mmm-hmm.
Your brother has a lot of energy.
Hmm? Well, it was an entertainment. But still, Wendy didn't come again even though I invited her again this time...

Chris suggested that I get up early today and make a lunch for the qualifiers when I watch them.
This time, he called Wendy and she replied, so he shouldn't be sad.
By the way, here's how it went down.

'Wendy, I'm making today's lunch!
'Master! Ah, eh........
"Wendy Shih Shih!
''Well, I'm sorry. I'm a little busy right now...'
"Hmm, are you busy? Do you need help?
'No, no! It's okay!''
"Worms! I got a bug!'
"Hmm? 'White's there too?'
'Yes! That's why I'm going to kill you, Lord is in danger!'
"I love you. Don't kill him with your bare hands...
Hm! See you later! And more meat for lunch!'

It was like.
It seems that White and Wendy are doing something.
Well, in that case, I decided to put my skills to work making lunch.

Good morning, good morning!
...Hayato? Isn't it rude to suddenly gush out of the blue when you look at someone?
No! Why are you wearing that frilly apron again!
'So! I asked Freed about it and he said it was the only way to go!
Freed? Is it true?
'Yes, sir. There are insect bite marks, and I heard that the customer is not very good at insects, so I have prepared this one. Bufu!

Nice try! It would have been like that if I'd held out a little longer.
Why do I have to turn my face away and stifle my laughter?
Hmm?

'How can Chris not laugh........'
Well, the more I got used to it, the prettier it got.

Chris says that and Hayato looks at me closely, so I try to pose for him.
I clench my fists in both hands and bring them close to my chin, tilting my head back and giving him a small wink.

What do you think?
Pretty neat, huh?

I don't need breakfast...
"Hayato-sama, I'm not feeling very well, may I take the day off today?
Ha-ha. Ha-ha, don't be shy. I'll make you some beefsteak.
It's too heavy in the morning!
'I'll make Freed some dessert. Do you want bucket pudding?
I don't have a sweet tooth, but...
He said he'd like a pudding-a-la-mode with special whipped cream and sweet fruit, too.
Of course. Let's have some bucket pudding.

I got it!
I'm going to cook the beefsteak, 3cm thick, to a firm medium rare.
Let's make a bucket for the bucket pudding with alchemy.
Of course I won't allow you to leave any leftovers, will I?

'Bucket pudding.... It sounds fascinating.
No, you don't. You won't like your delicious pudding.

That kind of thing is only good because it's the right amount.
Too much dessert is simply boring.

Now, let's grill the steaks as I declared.
Maybe White will want to eat it when he sees it, so we'll have two.

Oh, you're really going to grill it, aren't you?
"Word! If you're a man, eat meat!
Then I'll take the meat...
Hmm? Do you want meat 'too'?
No, no, I won't.

I think that's a good idea.
The bucket should be a little smaller than the tub, okay?
That's okay. I'm sure it's easy to create if we have the magic space.
Enryoseznitabetejo.

'A man in a pretend apron humming and cooking.... It's surreal.
'Chris, a serious shove works best, so stop...'

It's gonna hurt!
I'm trying to open up, but I'm just going to go back to the bare bones and stab you in the heart with a goof!

Huh..... So what are Hayato and the others doing here? Nibbling?
'No, no. I thought you'd like to hear from me today, as I'll be leaving as soon as I finish my breakfast in the carriage.
I'm ready. I'm all set. I've made eight sets of dishes.

Moreover, because it is stored in the magic space, I can enjoy it warm without worrying about it going bad.
If I'm going to make soup anyway, I might as well make it too.
It's no longer at the level of a bento box.
This is what is known as spatial magic. It's a useful cheat-grade skill.

'Oh, Wendy isn't here, is she?
Yeah, I think he's doing something with White.
"...I see. Oh, this looks delicious. Can I have some?
I knew you were going to pick at it.
'This asparagus bacon is bad. Oooh ... it doesn't taste like I expected it to.
Chris made it. You can look forward to what he's going to cook for you in the future.
''Uh-huh, I learned a lot of the cuisine of Hayato-sama's hometown! But there are a lot of things you can't make without 'soy sauce' or 'miso'...
Well, there's a lot of things you can do if you make a broth out of dry food and season it with salt, so give him a lot of things to eat.
'Yes! I'll do my best to make Hayato-sama say 'I want to drink Misosil every day' one day!
'Oh! Go for it!
'Hey Itsuki-san, what are you teaching........'
'It's a common Japanese phrase. I've taught them that it's a magic spell that they can say to Chris when they're at their maximum affection for him.

It's a classic and a classic, too, because it's a classic.
Chris is a good cook, and I'm sure he'll make a great miso soup.
The biggest problem is that we don't have any miso....
Well, the worst thing you could do is to make a bowl of miso soup.
I've taught him how to make it.

''Well, well, if Chris makes miso soup, I'd like to drink it every day, but...''
Hayato-sama!

Chris smiles as the background shines brightly with a paaaaaaaah.
Recently I've only seen Chris and Hayato together, but I wonder if he's taking good care of the other members.
Maybe it's because I cook and have tea with Hayato, so inevitably I spend most of my time with Chris.

Hey Fried, what do you think of this scene?
I'm glad you get along so well. Everyone seems to be really happy since they got back.
Yeah. It's a beautiful thing to be friends.
'That's a good word. I'll keep that in mind.

He's so serious.
But still, it looks like you all love each other equally.
I'm glad my fears are unnecessary.

Well, I think I'll make some beefsteak.
I'll get you a beefsteak.
...not that I'm going to miss you.
God d*mn it, I'm not trying to be a flirt or anything.
It's just a courtesy.

Anyway, I'll just prepare a nice piece of black moam and heat up the griddle.

Now, what else should I do for soup?
I could make corn soup out of big corn.
This corn looks like corn, but each seed is huge.
Moreover, the fruit grows like flower petals and only four grains can be removed from the stalk.
But the taste is the same as the corn.
It was not so good for corn soup without grains, but it's okay if the taste is good.

I need to mash the corn and strain it and add some milk.
The rest is butter, salt, pepper, and maybe some broth.
Hmmm........we don't have consomme solids.......
Well, I'll have some of the meat and vegetable soup we're going to have for breakfast here.

'Oh.........how cool is Ituki-san cooking. If only I didn't see your apron........
'Leave it there..... Are you done flirting?
Well, I mean... yes...

I don't want to be embarrassed now.
The exchange of ideas that took place in front of my eyes was already over.

It's a bit more flirtatious. But still, my cooking skills haven't improved...
What level are you at now, sir?
I'm only one.
'Yeah! Isn't that a bit odd?
"Nah. I wonder why...

Can't I cook something from the original world?
No, cooking is cooking and that's not happening.
Hmm........I don't know.
Well, I heard it's only the extent to which the status correction goes up, so it's fine that I'm cooking to my satisfaction right now.
Alright, let's not worry about it.

Anyway, let's take a taste of the corn soup first.
I'll ladle it into a small plate and sip a little.
Hmmm........I guess corn is sweeter than regular corn.......

"Chris, would you like to taste it?
'Oh, yes! Wow, is that corn soup?
Can I get a taste of it?
Good. Let me know if I'm missing anything.

Hayato and Chris, and by the way, I'm going to pour it on a small plate for Fried to taste.
For me, I'd like it to be a little less salty or sweet....

''It's sweet and delicious!
Yes. Very tasty.
For my part, I think you could use a little more saltiness.

Hmm.
What should we do.........
Freed doesn't like sweets to begin with........
Hmm..........

There's a lot of meat in the bento, and you can get the saltiness there, so let's go with this.

I prepare another skillet and mash and strain the corn to make the same thing.

"Oh, you want to make another one?
Yeah, we're going out for the day, so I thought I'd make some for the people in the building.

I heard that Chris usually makes them for the people who work in the pavilion, but this time we're all observing the qualifiers.

'You don't have to worry about it, okay? We'll eat appropriately....
No, you've been good to me, and this is the least you can do...

I'd like to give out sweets anyway, but I don't have much time right now....
And I'll have to make a bucket of pudding just for Freed today!
But I think I'll behave at least once before I leave.

'Thank you, sir. I'll tell my employees to thank you and eat it, as it's made by the customer.
No, just eat normally...

It's not that big of a deal.
In fact, I think it's definitely better if Chris, who usually makes it, makes it.

By the way, people should be gathering in the cafeteria by now.

Chris, you can start preparing breakfast later.
''Yes. Hayato-sama, can you help me?
'Sure. Would you like me to lay out the plates?
'Yes! Please!

Well, I guess I'll just start making bucket pudding.

Where are you going to...?
I was thinking of going to the alchemy room to make a container for bucket pudding.
...Why not this bowl?
Smaller and smaller. More, three times smaller? No, we have to make it five times bigger.

I'd like to see how big I can make it.
If it fails, it will be a waste of materials, so I'd like to make a pudding as big as a bathtub anyway, although it's a realistic size that could be made.
Fortunately, it can be cooled in a magical space, and if it is cooled for a long time, it will harden.

''Please! Could you make it in this bowl, please!
Uh... this?

What I was handed was a medium bowl.
It's longer and larger than the size of a cleaning bucket....

'All right. I'll make you some of this.
Huh, thank you.
But I'm going to the alchemy room.
Why, sir?
'It's to make something else. I don't want to make it for Freed, I just want to make a big pudding.
Oh, I see. So, have a good day...

Alright, I don't think I'll be able to finish it before I go out, so I'll serve it to you at night.
If you're that big, I'm sure you can eat this bowl of pudding with a deeply improved bottom with alchemy, right?
For now, I guess I'll go to the alchemy room to process the bowl and make the container.
