Oh, so this is Takumi's cooking that turned bad.
After a long time, Nuruhachi has returned to the cave.
From the fact that Sasha hasn't been able to return yet, we can expect that the problems in the Lucia Kingdom have not yet been resolved.
The reason why only Nuruhachi came back is because he heard about my abnormalities, right?
Even before I eat, I already know that my cooking skills are failing.
As soon as I got home, I made a simple dish for Nuruhachi, who wanted me to give him something to eat.
'Looks the same as before. Now, how does it taste?
A silver spoon broke through the eggs and scooped the rice.
That dish of fried rice with kekko meat and tomatoes, wrapped in eggs, was something I used to be good at.
'...... Hmmm,'
After taking a bite, Nuruhachi continues to eat without evaluating it.
What do you think he is eating?
Nuruhachi finishes the dish, which is clearly at a lower level, without saying a word until the end.
'Dom, how was it?'
I was the one who broke the silence first.
Nevertheless, Nuruhachi silently gets up from his chair and walks out to the kitchen.
Come to think of it, this magnificent kitchen and all the dishes were prepared by Nuruhachi.
''There's nothing here to measure the portions.
That's what Nuruhachi says as he looks around the kitchen.
Indeed, there were measuring spoons and measuring cups present in the kitchen of the inn my dad ran.
But I've never used such things before.
That's right. It was because I could instantly judge how much seasoning I needed to add and what kind of taste I wanted to achieve without measuring the quantity.
'Today's dish had more sio and less tomatoes than usual. The eggs were cooked longer, and the usual fluffiness was gone.
Finally, Nuruhachi gives me some feedback on the food.
I'm not surprised by the expected, or even worse than expected, bad reviews.
This is the best I can make right now.
There is no recipe for Takumi's food. "There is no recipe for Takumi's food because he unconsciously prepares the best food each time according to the temperature and physical condition of the eater. It must have been an innate culinary genius.
I certainly wasn't aware of it.
Now, I don't even know how I could have done that.
'Absolute tongue sense. Takumi must have had such skills.''
Absolute tongue feel?
Did I really have those skills?
Now that it's gone, there's no way to find out.
Now, let's make the same thing again.
What?
He asked back with a surprised look on his face.
'It's hard to get to the exact same level, but we can get close. Nuruhachi has a perfect memory of all the flavors of all the dishes Takumi made, you know.
Is it true?
It's hard to believe that I can remember the taste of all the vast amount of food I've cooked.
But the Great Sage Nur Hachitaro looked at me straight in the eye and said, "Next time you make a recipe, you can measure all the portions and times.
The next time you make a recipe, you can measure every portion and time. What you have made so far has not been lost. It's just that I've forgotten it.
Nuh-uh-uh.
So this is what it means to have the scales fall from your eyes.
I was going to start from scratch again, but I had no idea how to do it.
Moreover, I was going to start over completely from scratch, but with this, I might be able to revive my cooking in a short time.
I'll give it a try. I'm going to make the same dish again.
Yeah, you can weigh in. I'll make sure I can measure every single grain of Zio.
A number of small lights flooded from the palm of Nuruhachi's hand, illuminating the kitchen.
'Wave sphere, soku.
Surrounded by grains of light, I had to start all over again.
It's as if I can't remember now how I used to figure out the right amount.
'Hey, Nuruhachi,'
As I cook, I ask Nuruhachi.
'How come I can't cook well anymore?'
It was a question I hadn't asked anyone since I felt odd.
'I don't know ....... Just that, on the contrary, maybe it's been weird so far.
What's that supposed to mean?
'That means Takumi was somewhat out of the ordinary. It's not just the food. No matter how much he trained, his body never became stronger. And yet, no matter how strong he is, he is not afraid to face and accept the strongest person in the room. The comedy of being mistaken for an absolute strongman by many. That doesn't happen to ordinary people.
That's certainly true.
Despite Alice's influence, there was no way in hell that Leia, Chloe, the Guild, or the rest of the world would mistake her for the most powerful person in the universe.
...... Perhaps now is the time to be the original Takumi.
The Nuruhachi who said that did not look at me.
And I can't look at Nuruhachi's face like that either.
Could it be that the food is not the only thing you are missing?
I remember Leia's attitude, which has clearly changed.
A buzzing, something black spreads from deep in my chest.
'I haven't lost it. If you think it wasn't there to begin with, that's fine.
......
I wonder if Nuruhachi understands what's happening to me.
I remember when I was just starting out as an adventurer, Nuruhachi bought me a big sword.
Just as I was just swinging it gumshoe, now I just swing the pot.
Nuruhachi, who was not supposed to be able to eat much, just quietly ate ten servings of rice that day.
''Huh? Today's rice is just as good as before!
At dinner time, the first person to scream was Karuna in human form.
Yes, as expected of you, Takumi-dono, the egg and the rice work perfectly together! I can't wait to get out of my funk!
This is exactly what Takumi-san tasted like when we met. Ha! So far it was just a casual kindness to keep Takumi-san's food from being too delicious and making you overeat and gain weight!
Yo, yo, yo, you're very clear on that.
No, I was just trying to make the exact same dish, and whether I gain or lose weight, as long as I stay healthy, that's fine.
While Chloe and Leia are eating while praising the food, Alice is still the only one who just eats in silence.
However, she seemed to be a little happier than I thought.
It's been a long time since I've had an enjoyable meal.
It's not a perfect recipe yet, but according to Nuruhachi, it's getting close to 85 points.
There's plenty more for you to eat. Eat slowly.
I wanted to show Nuruhachi the smiles on everyone's faces, but it seems that the ruckus in the Lucia Kingdom hasn't been cleared up yet, and I left while trapping my overeaten and enlarged belly in the hole that had been opened by the transition magic.
''...... this is!
And while everyone was smiling, only one person, Nagisa, was frozen in place with her spoon.
Her face, far from being a smile, was grim.
'Huh? Was it not to Nagisa's taste?
No, no, it's very good. How did you get to this point?
Nagisa, who had been sent on an errand by Nuruhachi, did not know what had happened today.
If he dared to keep her away, does Nuruhachi notice Nagisa's inexplicable sense of discomfort?
'I just did my best. And I'll keep trying.
Is that so? That's very noble of you, Takumi.
Nagisa's face was drawn up as she managed to smile as she said that.
Does the fact that my cooking worked so well mean that it's such an unusual situation for Nagisa?
I don't know what I'm fighting against.
Something eerie must be stirring behind the scenes.
Still, I'm not going to change.
Even if I have lost everything, I will stand up to get it back again.
"Tantato, tantato, tantato, tantato, tantato, tantato, tantato, tantato
Then that melody rang in my head again.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
