Since we are already here, Sue and I had a meal too.
Come to think of it, we hadn’t eaten lunch because of all the trouble with the church and the slave market.
“Shun-oniichan, you’re going to make curry when we get home, right?”
And Shiro and Ao, who have a perfect memory of food, remembered our conversation at the trading company we stopped by in the morning.
“Curry? What is curry?”
“It seems to be a soup made with spices. The food made by Shun-san is very delicious.”
““Really!?””
“Uoh!”
Fran asked Shiro about curry but Sue answered her. Then, not only Fran but also the other rescued children responded to the keyword “delicious”.
“Oh, you’re going to cook a new dish again huh. I’m also looking forward to it.”
And even the wife of the former Margrave has joined in.
Uhm, I guess I have to make curry in this case then.
I decided to borrow the kitchen of the mansion and started making curry!
“First, fry the cumin, and when it crackles, add the chopped onion and fry it.”
“““Oh, I see.”””
The chefs in the kitchen make a note of the steps I make. At the entrance of the kitchen, children are peeking in.
“Then add garlic and stir fry it, then the tomatoes and beans. Next, add the additional spices, yogurt made from goat’s milk, and slices of orc meat. Add water and simmer, and it’s done!”
“““Oh!”””
“Except for orc meat, you can get everything at the store. By the way, you can add chicken or vegetables, or you can add flour to thicken it. You can adjust the spiciness with chili peppers.”
It’s such a simple method so it’s easy to make. I’m sure a full-time chef will be able to make it even more delicious.
I divided it into several small plates for tasting.
“Looks delicious.”
“What an appetizing aroma.”
“The taste is stimulating.”
“““Delicious!”””
Before I knew it, in addition to the Margrave and his father, the Margrave’s wife and child, who I am meeting for the first time, had also gathered here. Then what I made was gone in no time.
“Hmm, this is quite good. Can you guys serve this for dinner?”
“““Yes! Leave it to us.”””
“““Yey!”””
The previous Margrave grinned and talked to the chefs. And as expected of professional cooks, they replied that there was no problem cooking it. The children were also overjoyed to be able to eat delicious food.
“It’s cherry blossom viewing festival from tomorrow, leave the investigation to us and enjoy the cherry blossom viewing.”
“Yes. But we also have duty in the cherry blossom viewing venue, so I will try to enjoy it in between.”
After talking with the Margrave who came to see us off, we decided to return to the inn.
Fran is also headed back to the inn with us while holding hands with Shiro. By the way, I bought Fran some clothes and underwear at a clothing store along the way to the inn.
“Welcome back. You guys are back earlier than I thought.”
“We’re back. Un. We just talked a bit and I did some cooking at the Margrave’s mansion.”
The owner of the inn, the bear beastman, greeted us. I guess he had heard the story from the female adventurers, but he was surprised at our early return.
By the way, Fran was surprised to see the bear beastman owner.
“You guys are early. Oh, is that child with you now?”
“Mm. She got attached to Shiro so I thought it’s better to take her with us.”
“By the way, it smells good.”
Just then, a female adventurer greeted us, and she seemed to notice the smell of spices coming from my clothes. Even though she’s not a beastman, she has a great sense of smell.
“Shun-oniichan is going to make curry.”
“It’s delicious!”
“Hoho, is it An-chan’s new dish? That sounds interesting.”
Then Shiro and Fran told the swordsman-oneesan that I am going to make curry for dinner.
Since they had already eaten my food at the cherry blossom viewing venue, not only the swordsman-oneesan but also other adventurers and the shopkeeper gathered.
Looks like I’ll have to make curry for everyone.
I borrowed the inn’s kitchen and started making curry.
“““Delicious!”””
“What a mouth-watering taste.”
“It’s good to be a little spicy.”
“You can make it spicier.”
I spent the whole afternoon cooking.
Well, the curry was well-received by not only Shiro and Fran, but everyone else too, so I’ll call it a success.
