âI definitely wonât get pushed down again.â
ââWill do my best.ââ
Allen and Elena became motivated after hearing Cloud-samaâs âdefinitelyâ.
âYou sound so reliable.â
âRain-sama, Cloud-sama too, please donât stir up my kids.â
âIt sounds fun, so why not?â
â... Austin-sama too?â
Rain-sama was totally having fun and Austin-sama seemed to be amused, too.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWe wonât be staying here for many days, so the children wonât have many opportunities. Thatâs why I say, why not?â
Austin-sama... you were actually serious?
However, since the three princes have sanctioned it, I wonât take any blame if Allen and Elena push Cloud-sama down in public during our remaining time in Creta, alright!
ââOnii~chan, meal~?ââ
â... I will arrange it right away.â
I was talking about the two of you, though. Well, I guess the two donât really understand what we were talking about.
âIs everyone eating here then?â
âYes, please serve the meal hereââyour seat is there, Takumi. Allen and Elena can sit right beside him.â
ââOkay.ââ
I sat down at the seat Austin-sama pointed at and took out the meal from my Infinite Storage.
ââOhh~~~ââ
âI have never seen these kinds of dishes before!â
âIncredible.â
âThey all look delicious.â
The reaction on the appearances seems to be good.
âPlease eat before it gets cold.â
ââLetâs eat~!ââ
As Allen and Elena begin to eat first, the princes also begin to eat.
ââNn~~~ââ
âHow is it? A dish you have never eaten before. Does it get passing marks?â
Allen and Elena shook their heads up and down, while chewing with their cheeks stuffed.
Itâs obvious from their expressions, but it looks like the food got passing marks.
âTakumi, itâs very delicious.â
âTruly delicious.â
âAmazing. All of these were made by you, Takumi?â
ââOnii~chan is amaz!ââ
It seems it suited the tastes of Austin-sama, and Rain-sama and Cloud-sama too.
âTakumi-dono, would you like to work as the castleâs chef?â
âOh, thatâs a good idea. Takumi, I will arrange good conditions for you!â
âPardon me, but cooking is just a hobby of mine, I donât want to make it a work.â
I just like to make foods I want to eat on a whim. And I also like cooking to make my kids happy.
âIs that so, that is unfortunate.â
âHowever, it will be difficult not being able to eat this anymore. Takumi, could you instruct our chefs... no, we wonât have enough time to do that, right? Would it be possible to sell us the recipe?â
âIndeed, I would also like to bring this recipe home.â
They must have liked it a lot. All three of them want the recipe.
âHaha. I will put together a recipe paper by the day of our return.â
âThank you so much. Letâs decide on the price later.â
âIndeed, let us just enjoy the meal for now.â
Canât I just transfer the recipe to them? I would be fine with that, but these people would probably refuse.
âOnii~chan, whatâs this Shrimpy~?â
âThat is Ebi Fry.â
âOnii~chan, this one Ricy is~?â
âThat would be Omurice.â
âEbi Fry is delish~!â
âOmurice is yummy~!â
âDo you like it?â
ââYeah, make it again!ââ
âRoger that.â
It seems they have memorized the names of the dishes properly and will be requesting it again sooner or later.
âEbi Fry and Omurice, you said? Then, what is this meat dish called?â
ââHamburger!ââ
âItâs called a Hamburger? Then, this soup?â
ââYellow Millet!ââ
âââYellow Millet!?âââ
Ah, Yellow millet was treated as fodder for livestock! Rather, so is White Wheat!
Austin-sama knew about White Wheat, did he not? He didnât come to Allen and Elenaâs birthday party, so he probably isnât aware about the Yellow Millet.
Of course, Rain-sama and Cloud-sama donât know that both of them are edible so... did I totally do something I have to feel guilty about again?
âI, Iâm sorry. I use Yellow Millet as well as White Wheat.â
First, I will apologize honestly!
âWhite Wheat? I donât see anything like that here?â
âItâs inside the Omuriceâs egg, right Takumi?â
âYes, thatâs correct.â
âHeh~ This is that White Wheat?â
âIt was something this delicious?â
The royalties of this world really have deep stomachs, donât they? All three accepted it as if it was normal~
âI would like to make this Yellow Millet soup into an instant soup, too.â
âThatâs a good idea.â
âYellow Millet is easily obtainable, so it might not be a bad idea.â
Moreover, not only did they not mind, the princes even wanted to turn the Yellow Millet soup into an instant soup.
Which reminds me, I havenât tried making the Yellow Millet into an instant soup before. Letâs try it the next time.
âThere are several kinds of Millet, no? Can those be made into soups too?â
âNow that you mention it, yesââWhat do you think, Takumi-dono?â
âYou can make soups with different flavors by using White, Red, and Black Millet, but I believe that the Yellow Millet is most suitable for soups.â
âIf Takumi says so, Iâm sure itâs true.â
âIndeed.â
âTrue.â
â... You accepted it quite easily.â
Itâs surprising to me that they accepted it so easily.
âI donât have the need to doubt your palate which made something this delicious, Takumi.â
âThatâs right, Takumi. Ah~ but I would really like to try a soup made out of a different type of millet at least once.â
âIndeed. Letâs have the chefs try when we get the recipe from Takumi-dono.â
âLetâs do that.â
âEveryone has preferences too, after all. You might unexpectedly find your favorite taste.â
Err, if Iâm not mistaken... Red Millet has a strong acidity, and Black Millet is sweet. The White Millet should be thick and creamy. Iâm sure some people would prefer one or the other.
ââThank you for the meal~ââ
âAre you full?â
ââYeah, full~ââ
Allen and Elena lightly tapped their bellies, showing that they were full.
âYou ate a lot~â
ââYea, ate a lot! Is Austin-samaâs belly also bouncy-bounce?ââ
âBouncy-bounce!?â
ââKu.ââ
Austin-sama opened his eyes wide at the way Allen and Elena said it, and stared at his stomach.
Rain-sama and Cloud-sama averted their gazes to laugh.
Austin-samaâs body is slender, so even by mistake, you wouldnât call him âbouncyâ.
âAllen, Elena, Austin-samaâs belly isnât bouncy-bounce, right?â
ââIs not~? Then, bob-bob?ââ
âBounceâ and âbobâ have a similar feeling, so thatâs not it either? What the two want to say is...
âAh~ the belly is bulging... I think?â
ââOhh~ itâs bulging!ââ
The kids clapped their hands as if saying âThatâs it!â.
Although a trivial mistake, it was a very unpleasant one.
