Picking up some twigs that had fallen nearby, Lynn deftly assembled a small triangular tower. Then, she piled leaves on top of the tower to create a wall.
“I’m going to smoke mackerel in here. Okay, it’s ready. Oh right, the flint……”
As Lynn stands up to go back and get a flint, I stopped her, and I ignited the bonfire she made with my fire magic. Since they are all small branches, the fire burns and spreads easily. When the fire was solid, Lynn placed an iron dish filled with wood chips on the fire.
“This is how the smoke comes out of the wood chips.”
Lynn explained to us as she blocks the entrance of the tower with a branch with leaves. The wood chip she is using is from a cherry tree, and it known by its strong fragrance.
“Smoking takes a little time, so let’s get the other ingredients ready in the meantime.”
It seemed she had already planned the cooking process in her head.
Lynn continued to prepare deftly.
Char and I also helped wash the vegetables and clean up the utensils.
A moment later, there is an appetizing sandwich on the table. Even though it was a short time, there is also a vegetable soup on the table. It is full of colorful vegetables and looks delicious. It is quite impressive that I think that if it were in Japan in my previous life, it would have been described as “bae”.
“It looks delicious.”
“U~uu, I can’t wait.”
Seeing us excited about it, Lynn smiled contentedly.
“Come on, eat.”
“Itadakimasu!”
When I bit into the sandwich, an otherworldly taste spread in my mouth. It’s the best sandwich I’ve ever had, including the ones in my previous life.
“There is no smell of mackerel at all, and all the ingredients go well together!”
Bread, smoked mackerel, vegetables, avocado, mayonnaise, spices, and a hint of citrus all blend together to create a rich symphony of flavors.
“It’s yummy! It’s absolutely delicious!”
We engrossedly gobbled down our sandwiches and soup. After seeing how happy we were, Lynn began to eat as well.
“This mayonnaise sauce has a lot of potential. It can be used in a variety of dishes.”
“The tartar sauce is also delicious.”
“What’s that? Tell me about it, right now!”
Lynn got super excited. Her interest in this is really impressive. When it comes to food information, she seems to want to know everything as much as she can.
“Wait a minute, let me finish this sandwich first.”
“Okay…… Still, you’re leaving me hanging you know.”
“It’s unconfirmed information, but it was said that a long time ago, there were people called mayo lovers, and they used to put mayonnaise on all kinds of food they eat.”
“Heh~, there is such a record huh. I don’t want to do it on everything, but I……”
Lynn seems to be thinking of a lot of new recipes.
She then nodded as if she has decided something and she asked me,
“This island is really a mysterious island. If you don’t mind, can I stay for a while?”
“Of course! You can stay as long as you want.”
At that moment, the status board opened in front of me.
| You can now build a small canteen! ————————————————- Requirements: Get along with a skilled chef. Required points: 5 Note: You will receive various utensils as a gift. |
Thanks to Lynn, I am now able to build a canteen!
It’s dusk and it’s getting dark outside.
Let’s build a canteen now.
“Let’s go outside after the meal. I can make something good again this time.”
“Father, you’re now full power, aren’t you?”
“Yeah, something like that.”
Listening to the conversation between me and Char, Lynn tilts her head in confusion.
“What are you two talking about?”
“As a thank you for the delicious food, I’m going to show you my magic.”
We cleaned up after eating and then we went outside.
The planned location of the small canteen was near the cottage.
It is located on the same hill and has a good view of the sea. I had 37 points, so it was easy to build a small canteen.
“.…W-what the heck is this?”
Seeing the canteen that suddenly appeared, Lynn was stunned.
It is a building with white mud walls and a wooden deck on the seaside.
There are four tables in total. It was like a small-town diner.
“Is this a restaurant?”
Lynn looks into the store with a sense of trepidation.
“It doesn’t feel like a restaurant yet. I guess it’s more appropriate to call it a canteen.”
If this is upgraded, it is possible to develop it into a high-end restaurant.
“Let’s go in.”
I took Lynn and Char and went inside the store. The walls of the store were painted with cream-colored diatomite. The window frames are painted azure, giving a refreshing impression. The tables and chairs were not luxurious, but they were cozy.
“Cedie, can I take a look at the kitchen?”
As expected, she is a chef. That seems to be the most interesting part for her.
“Don’t hesitate to come in, you can touch it as you like.”
The kitchen was equipped with a large pot, pan, and all kinds of utensils. Not only that, but it is also equipped with a large magic stove and a water supply and drainage system that applies water magic.
“This is amazing. I think we can start operating right away.”
Lynn is checking the heat power of the stove.
“There’s also a rest room at the back of the kitchen, which you can use while you’re on the island.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. If you don’t mind, you can start a restaurant here.”
“Really? Cedie and I just met today. Why are you so kind to me?”
“Hmm~, it has something to do with my secret. I was able to build this canteen because I got to know Lynn.”
“Did your acquaintance with me allow you to use magic?”
“That’s the case. Well, when I meet the person I’m destined to meet, I can activate my abilities.”
“I am destined with Cedie huh.”
I can’t say for sure, but that’s how I feel.
“You still find it hard to believe, don’t you?”
“…… Not really.”
After thinking for a while, Lynn said,
“Maybe Cedie is a special person for me too. I know it sounds weird to say this, but I feel like this island of Gandalcia is calling me.”
“I think that’s not just your imagination.”
“Yeah….…”
With a serious expression on her face, Lynn is deep in thought.
“Anyway, you can stay on the island for as long as you want.”
“Thank you. I’ll be in your care.”
Lynn may be motivated to believe in her destiny. I’m also glad that a skilled chef has become my neighbor.
“Since Lynn decided to stay here, I’ll give you a gift.”
I spent 3 points to get a large refrigerator freezer for commercial use.
“This…. Isn’t this a high-end magical tool that uses ice-cooling magic!? You can even get something like this, Cedie?”
“I guess so, well, as long as it’s for use on the island.”
Items obtained with points will not be usable if they are taken out of the island. Therefore, it is impossible to make a profit by exporting refrigerators and other products. Otherwise, I could easily buy chickens and goats.
Well, the world is not so sweet after all.
I currently have 29 points. If I can recover 10 points by tomorrow, I’ll have 39 points. The maximum number of points I can accumulate is 40, so this might have been just right.
“Thank you. I’m going to cook a lot for Cedie and Char.”
It was a nice offer for me, and Char was more excited than I was. Lynn’s food is much better than mine after all.
I know there are so many differences in our level, so I don’t feel defeated. Lynn has been training as a chef all her life, so it’s no surprise.
Rather, I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of chemistry will occur when my knowledge of my past life, Lynn’s cooking skills, and the ingredients of Gandalcia are combined.
I’m sure she’ll be able to cook great food.
Anyway, it was nice to see new residents on the uninhabited island of Gandalcia.
