We took turns defeating the monsters that showed up along the way. Then we eventually arrived at the first night’s stop over without any trouble.
Since this is also a small territory, there is no choice of accommodation, and everyone stays at the same inn. After booking an inn, we sold the prey we hunted along the way to the guild in this area.
Back at the inn, where it was time for dinner, a big problem arose.
“M-my stomach hurts……”
That’s right. The innkeeper had an upset stomach.
“It’s food poisoning. It seems to be caused by eating some old meat.”
“You’ve used up a lot of energy so you still need to rest after the treatment.”
“U-ugh……”
In fact, not only the innkeeper but all the employees in the inn had food poisoning. All of them were immediately treated by Sue and the rabbit beastman aunt, but they had diarrhea multiple times and were completely exhausted.
Of course, given this case, we couldn’t ask them to cook for us because it would be unhygienic. However, there are no other cafeteria in this territory.
It’s in a great location, just bordering the Eastern Margravate though.
Just why has this territory not been able to run properly?
The answer to that was given by the old man, the husband of the elderly woman.
“Unfortunately, the lords here have all been pathetic for generations now. I stayed here many times but the situation has not improved at all!”
“Eh? Seriously……?”
The old man said it angrily.
Those who became the lord here must be incapable of governing this place. If they could just think a little more clearly, this place could be a chance for development.
“Hmm, at this time, the market is already closed so we can’t buy ready-made food. I guess we can only make them ourselves.”
When I told them that, they all turned pale.
Uhm, perhaps……
“Well, anyone here who can cook?”
“““……”””
“Eh……?”
I asked them if they could cook, and they all looked away in unison.
Even the rabbit beastwoman or the old lady cook can’t cook?
“Shun-oniichan, I want to eat what you cooked.”
Then, Shiro and Ao look up at me with smiles on their faces. I feel heartbroken again, but I still start cooking.
“Shun-oniichan, what are you going to make?”
“I don’t have much time so I’m going to make pasta, soup and salad.”
On the way here I found a place that sold dried noodles, so I decided to have pasta today. I also plan to serve some bread just in case. I made the soup light for those with diarrhea and for everyone else, I added salt. I cut the meat into small and thin pieces so that it is easy to eat for the elderly.
Ao is the only one who can help. As for the others, they are watching me and Ao cook.
“Nii-chan can cook huh.”
“He can make a variety of dishes too.”
“I heard he made the hamburger steak too. He is just like a chef.”
“He is also very considerate of us. He cut the meat into thin slices.”
Alright, done!
I thought it was pretty good considering that we made it in a hurry.
Then we all have a meal.
“Shun-oniichan’s cooking is always delicious.”
“I know right. The hamburger steak the other day was also very delicious. He is really good at cooking.”
Shiro and Sue also eat deliciously, but I still wish they would hold a cooking class at the guild.
The beastman husband and wife are also eating a lot, so there seems to be no problem with the taste.
“Do you use shoyu for pasta?”
“Yes, as a secret ingredient. But it would have been better if there was butter.”
“It’s so good. You really are like a chef.”
The elderly couple guessed the secret ingredient. I also cut the meat into thin slices, so they are able to eat it all.
“Well, I was worried for a while, but I’m glad you’re here.”
“Hmm, it’s great to be able to do anything. On top of that, he also has the title of goblin hunter.”
“Mm. He seems to have a genuine personality and is a very nice person.”
-Uh, it seems my reputation has skyrocketed.
It’s kind of a little embarrassing though.
“Shun-oniichan, please cook again.”
“If I get a chance, I’ll teach Shiro and Sue how to cook as well.”
“Yes, please do so. I don’t think it’s a good idea to keep putting a burden on Shun-san every time.”
Shiro and Sue also seemed to be interested in cooking. Well, even if they fail, Ao will digest it and it’s good to try things.
