And just like that, everyone began moving according to their assigned roles.
Sue and the Shiro’s group followed the staff in charge of the wedding preparations and began their meetings. The former Margrave, Emilia-sama, and Kent-chan started discussing something with the site supervisor.
“Alright! This year we’ve got that kid here, so let’s make the stall twice as big as usual!”
“Indeed. It may as well be twice the standard size.”
“Um… you don’t have to push yourselves that hard, you know…”
“Shun-sama, that much would still be no problem for you.”
“Toria-chan too… what are you saying…”
As for me, I was setting up the Margrave household’s stall with Ao, but the craftsmen and Toria-chan were so enthusiastic that the structure had grown into something absurdly large.
Honestly… this stall might even be bigger than the one in the northern frontier territory.
The craftsmen were clearly used to construction work, and before long, the stall was completed at astonishing speed.
Then it was time for a test run, so we started grilling meat and yakisoba.
Sizzle… sizzle…
“Wow, amazing!”
“That’s incredible!”
“As expected of the Champion Slime!”
As for Ao, she’s using wind magic to skillfully process leftover wood into dozens of forks, spoons, and knives. The craftsmen and Toria-chan were completely thrilled, watching its control of magic with sparkling eyes.
Even more astonishingly, the wooden spoons were sturdy enough to cut through grilled meat.
By the way, Ao had somehow already started being called ‘Champion’. Well, it was true that it had won the martial arts tournament, and in the Western Margravate, even slimes were respected if they were strong.
“Alright, the test batch of grilled meat and yakisoba is ready. Ao, make the wooden containers.”
At my call, Ao gave a wave of its tentacles in acknowledgment and began carving wood into slightly larger containers—perfect for serving takoyaki-style portions. We then piled the grilled meat and yakisoba into them and handed them over to the craftsmen for tasting.
“Wow, this is really good. Even though it’s simple, it tastes different from our usual grilled meat.”
“The yakisoba is amazing too! As expected of the Lightning Chef.”
“Shun-sama, this is incredible! It’s delicious! Please give me seconds!”
The craftsmen were extremely pleased with everything we had made, which made me feel a little relieved. Toria-chan was also very satisfied with the food, casually asking Ao for seconds without hesitation.
Alright then, next, we should prepare the imitation tandoori chicken we made earlier. If we cook it now, it should be perfectly ready by lunchtime.
Just then, Shiro came over to me.
“Shun-oniichan, we’re borrowing Ao, okay? They said they need help building the altar.”
“Then I will assist with the cooking instead.”
Ao was also skilled in woodwork, so it would definitely be useful for altar construction.I resumed food prep together with Toria-chan.
