The sweet time between a man and a woman came to an end after only three days.
As for why, a certain influential member of the Schenker brought her boyfriend to the night detention practice session.
「Seele, I heard that you are making something called “candy that makes you smarter”.」
「Mince-san, if you’re only going to be a nuisance, please leave……」
Today, there were two scalekins in front of me and Digo, who was stirring the pot today.
Mince-san, the chief of the adventurer group of the Magical Schenker Group, and Ganat-san, her boyfriend.
「I have done many tasting roles in the past so why don’t I take on the role of candy taster? I’m sure master will feel more at ease that way.」
I’m sorry to say this to the confident Mince-san who just beat her chest but the candy’s not completed yet.
「My bad, the candy’s still under development. Also, it’s not true that it will make you smarter. I heard that it doesn’t contain ingredients with that effect.」
「What! Really!?」
When I said that, Mince-san was so surprised that her tail stretched out.
Mince-san, are you worried about being called dim witted by others?
「……well, we are still not sure about that. It’s something made by master so anything could happen. Maybe it really does have that effect! No matter what, I’ll take on the role of poison tester with my own body.」
She said that selfishly like that and sat down on a chair in the dining room, which was connected to the kitchen.
「You might be thinking that I’m bright to begin with so we won’t know if it’s really effective……however, fear not, that’s the reason why I brought this idiot here.」
「M-Mince-san…….」
Ganat-san, who has just been called an idiot by Mince-san, looks at her with a complicated look on his face.
However, from what I heard, Ganat-san was also quite passionate while being hit by Mince-san every day.
Is this what you call a broken pot with a broken lid……?
「What are you making in that pot over there?」
「Ah, it’s soup stock……」
「It smells good. Once you put noodles in it, it will taste good. I’ll give it a taste if you like.」
「Eh!? A taste test?」
Digo looked at me with a face that was half bewildered and half happy so I can’t help but sigh.
「Mince-san, if you want to eat, go home. We’re in the middle of practicing.」
「I know I know. That’s why I’ve decided to eat a full dinner tonight so give me a big portion.」
I had Digo boil dried noodles into the other pot and seasoned the broth to suit the noodles.
I don’t want to make him cook something else before he manages to cook hayashi rice. However, it’s an important job of the chef to satisfy customers.
A large bowl of noodles and slightly roasted smoked meat are placed in the broth I seasoned with spices and salt to taste with herbs floating on top.
I’ll make one bowl and leave the other to Digo.
I remember master once said something like “I’ll do it……let me try” when we were cooking before.
Anyway, it’s important to teach him how it is done and then let him try it himself.
「Here, take it.」
「A-ano! H-he-here!」
「Yeah yeah, looks delicious」
「You also made some for me, sorry for the trouble……」
From Digo’s point of view, this is probably the first dish he’s ever served someone other than his family.
He carried the bowl with awkward movements that exuded a sense of tension and returned to his position which is in front of the pot. There, he watched the two scalekins with an anxious look on his face.
「The serving is a little small but it’s pretty good.」
「It’s delicious alright」
Digo heard the word “delicious” from Mince-san’s boyfriend and looked at me with a smile on his face.
Good for you.
I gave him a thumbs up but he tilted his head when he saw that.
Ah, right……this sign can only be understood by the members of the Magical Schenker Group.
