Chapter 42: Mixed Rice
When Suì made mixed rice in the frying pan, I returned home.
"Wow, that was fast."
"Welcome back, Suì!"
"I found a Jagaman and brought back its fresh meat!!"
"Do you call it fresh? Well, let's try eating Jagaman's meat. I'll handle the cooking."
I tried dissecting the Jagaman's meat.
I think it's probably edible, so I tried a little piece as a snack.
After frying it in the pan for a while...
"Mmm, delicious! It's good enough if it's cooked!"
I cooked portions for both Suì and myself.
As the delightful aroma filled the room, Suì exclaimed, "Franz-sama, it smells so good. I want to eat it now!!"
"It does look delicious, doesn't it? Also, we have mixed rice, so let's try it together."
Since we didn't have plates, I took a large leaf and used it as a makeshift plate.
"Is this what you call mixed rice? It's the first time I've seen this food."
"This is a dish I came up with. How is it?"
At first, Suì seemed a bit perplexed by the unfamiliar dish.
However, the enticing aroma dispelled any hesitation.
The moment Suì tried the meat and mixed rice...
"Ah, it's delicious!! This mixed rice is incredibly tasty. It feels like the first time I've ever eaten something like this. And the meat, it's so delicious!! During the time of the Demon Dragon, we always ate meat raw."
"Well, the Demon Dragon probably doesn't cook. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I think I'll have some too."
When I tried it after Suì, it was incredibly delicious!
For a first-time attempt at cooking in this otherworldly land, I was highly satisfied.
Coming to this place, I was worried about how things would turn out, but using my alchemy magic, it seems like I can adapt to this land as well.
It's a relief that my anxieties have lessened a bit.
"Franz-sama..."
I wonder what's wrong; Suì looks somewhat uneasy.
I hope nothing strange got mixed into the food.
"What's the matter? Did something strange get in?"
"No, no, nothing strange. It's just that... I want to eat more of the mixed rice..."
"Huh, more? Well, go ahead. There's still plenty!"
"Yay! I'll eat more!!"
It seems Suì really liked the mixed rice I made.
I'm happy about that too.
