From early in the morning, we ask Mr. Toruku to cook for us, and one after another, we store the finished dishes in our magic bags. We got not only the basic menu of oak steaks and rough bird steaks, but also a lot of fried dishes for the new menu.

The regular menu looks like this. Now let's cook up some magma fish."

Oh, finally, magmafish. I was quite curious to know what a fish swimming in magma tastes like. What Mr. Toruku took out of the refrigerator was not a fish covered with magma and rugged rocks, but a neatly sliced salmon-pink fillet.

Is magma fish a salmon? It was shown on TV that the color of the flesh of salmon is affected by the bait, but I wonder if there is a bait with the same pigment in magma ...... or if there are creatures that can be used as bait in magma before that. It's a strange world, I don't get it.

"The color of the body is beautiful. I couldn't imagine it from its rocky, rugged appearance."

"Yes, it's a beautiful color, but I had a hard time getting it off that rock. If you get the procedure a little wrong, the meat gets soggy. But the taste is definitely worth it! I took Yuta's word for it and ate the prototype with Martha and Kark, and we were impressed.

I don't know if the taste is impressive or not. ...... There is no concrete information about the taste, but the expectation level is high.

"I'm looking forward to it. How do you cook it?"

I think salmon is often cooked in a raw style, but what about magma fish?

When magma fish are heated, their ability to withstand the heat of the magma is activated, giving them a unique texture. It is suitable for deep frying as well as for grilling. I've tried a few different ways, and the fish tastes better fried in vegetable oil than in oak oil, as it brings out the best flavors."

I can't get Mr. Tork's explanation out of my head. The meat is filleted and the heat activates the power of the meat? I'm slightly afraid that even when the fish is filleted, it still has some ability.

"Oh, really? I'm looking forward to ......."

"Yeah, I'm going to start cooking right away, so you can count on me.

Torque, you sound so confident. I'm a little scared, but let's hope for the best.

Baked, broiled, and fried are the basic ingredients. There are a lot of flavors, but not a lot of dishes. I taught him how to fry fish, so he must have applied it to fish, or maybe there are not so many kinds of fish dishes. The basis of his cooking is full of meat.

I want sashimi, carpaccio, meuniere, foil baked fish, nabe, etc., but I can't ask him to add more dishes to the menu for the same reason as millefeuille cutlets. I'll gradually tell them what I want to eat, and we'll increase the menu to my liking and create an ideal diner. Oh, it's not a diner but an inn.

I also need tartar sauce for fried salmon. Eggs are available, and mayonnaise, the king of knowledge cheats, may be in order. ...... No, I've heard that it's dangerous to use eggs that are not properly controlled. Mayonnaise is also dangerous until the genie of life arrives. It's not going well. But watching them actually cooking, I can think of a lot of things.

From magma fish to wyverns, lots and lots of food is being cooked. It's not quite the same as my assault dragon steaks. I didn't notice it when I was making the oak steaks, but I could tell that Mr. Toruku was very particular about his steaks.

He is grilling a thick cut of wyvern meat, changing the position of the meat. High heat, medium heat, low heat...he's got it all figured out. I mean, it's obvious that Toruku, the chef, would know what I'm talking about.

The low heat part slowly cooks a thick wyvern steak. ......That alone is exciting for me, but I don't know how to relax when it comes to wyvern meat. Me, Sarah and Belle are all glued to the meat. I wonder what that meat tastes like when I bite into it?

**

"Thank you very much. How much would you like?

I don't want your money. I don't need any money. I should be paying you for the recipes you've been teaching me. I've been talking with Martha about giving her some of the proceeds.

If you make me cook all night and use orcs, roughbirds, and all sorts of other ingredients and then tell me it's free, I'm going to feel awkward the next time I ask you to do something for me.

Then please accept at least the cost of the materials. We don't want any part of the proceeds. If you insist, please use the money to improve your cooking tools and seasonings, and hone your cooking skills. There are many more dishes I would like you to cook for me, and I intend to have Toruku-san cook the meat for the fire dragon as well.

"New recipes and Fire Dragon meat!"

......Mr. Torque grabs me by both shoulders and shakes me. I'm scared.

"Mr. Torque, please calm down. That's why I'd rather have you polish my skills than take my money.

"Okay, I'll pay for the materials next time. But this time I will not accept the money. Martha has asked me to do my best, including thanking you. If I take any money, I'll get in trouble.

...... You are completely on Martha's ass. It is a little funny to see Torque, who has a strong arm, looking miserable because he is scolded by his wife. It seems that wives are strong even in this world. Well, it would be better to take her feelings for this time.

I understand. I'll take you at your word this time.

"Oh, thank you. So what's the recipe? Are you going to slay the Fire Dragon again?"

His relief is short-lived as his interest turns to recipes and meat. He switches quickly.

I'll give the recipe to Martha. I'll bring the fire dragon when I kill it again.

No, no, it would be a double effort to give it to Martha. You can give the recipe directly to me. Do you have it with you now?"

I have the recipe because I wrote it while Mr. Toruku was cooking. But if I give it to him, he will go on reproducing the recipe. I'm also making breakfast for the guests while I'm cooking, and if I let him run amok when we get busy from noon, it will cause trouble at the inn.

"I have it, but I'll give it to Martha. I'll ask Toruk to give it to you when he's feeling well, so please rest well and get Martha's permission. I am off to Martha's now. Thank you very much for your time today. Come on, Sara, thank her too."

"Yes, Mr. Torque, thank you for showing us your cooking. I'll look forward to seeing you next time."

"Oh, oh. No, no, I want the recipe. ......"

I understand what Mr. Toruku is trying to say, but I pretend not to understand, bow, and leave the kitchen. I know what Mr. Toruku is trying to say, but I pretend not to understand and bow to him as I leave the kitchen. I know who I should be more concerned about, Mr. Toruku or Martha. I'm sorry, Mr. Torque.

"Well, did you cook?"

Yes, Mr. Toruku did a great job. I'm sorry I got so much food.

"Ha-ha-ha, what are you talking about? What are you talking about? The magma fish and wyverns you fed me are hard to come by, even if you paid for them. I'll give you that. Kark would have loved it."

It's important to deliver.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. So, I wrote a new recipe for fried food, please give it to Mr. Toruku later.

I added fried chicken and French fries to the recipe. I should be sorry that I was so obsessed with meat that I forgot to add fried potatoes.

I'm sorry you had to think about it. I'll give them to you later. So, that recipe you gave me... it's become the talk of the town, and people are copying it. I'd be grateful if you would allow me to do so, as these dishes are too good to be monopolized by the inn alone."

When a dish becomes popular, other cooks will study it. I have no problem with that. Bell and his friends would be happy to see more dishes on the menu. I'd like to see Labyrinth City develop to the point where it's called Gourmet City.

"No problem. I'd be happy to have more dishes.

"I see. That's very kind of you to say.

"No, no, no, I think I'd better be off."

Why don't you eat here?

I'm going home because I want to bring the food to you as soon as possible. I'll let you know what I think of the food next time I come back.

The way Belle and the others are looking at us, they want to eat as soon as possible, so we have to hurry home. Sarah and the others had a little bit to taste, but I'm sure there's more to come. We say goodbye to Martha and leave for the inn. I feel like I've been told to wait the whole time I've been at the inn, and I can't wait. Maybe now I understand how dogs feel a little better.

We walk quickly through the labyrinthine city toward the pavilion. Belle and the others are leading a little faster than us, and Sarah and the others are also moving faster than us. I guess we all feel the same way.

Yuta! The Valkyries are coming!

Sylphy told me about the trouble ...... I wonder why he shows up at this time. Should we avoid them? We could avoid them by pulling out of the main street into an alley, but that's a long way around. ...... So far it's basically just a meet and greet, so the quicker we get this over with the quicker we can get home.

I gave up and went on ahead, and the members of the Valkyrie walked around me, attracting attention from all around me. And of course, they find me and approach me with a smile like the Virgin.

Both this person and Marie-san are loyal to their interests, but I wonder why my impression of them is different from theirs. I wonder if Marie-san's uncontrollable desires show on her face, which makes me feel safe. The Valkyries are so completely disguised that they may be frightening.

"Yuta-san, it has been a long time. Not many days have passed since your appointment with the Muscle Stars and the Wings of the Labyrinth, have you returned already? Did you have any accidents?"

The leader of the Valkyries asks me with a very worried look on his face. I don't know if he knows I can fly or not, but he must know that there is a way to shorten the speed of my movement, and it's amazing that he doesn't smell it in the slightest.

"No, nothing accidental happened. It's all over now, no problem."

"Well, so you defeated the fire dragon. I'd like to hear all about it.

The leader of the Valkyries, who leans in close. If I didn't know his backstage face, I would have been played for sure. I've only greeted him so far, but please don't move on to the next development only when I'm in a hurry.

"No, it wasn't much. I'm sorry, but I have an appointment, if you'll excuse me. Here, Sara, Marco, Kikka, let's go."

He bowed to Sarah and the others and strode away. I guess they wanted to know more about the wings of the labyrinth and Muscle Star, so they tried to get some information. Once they get information about the wings of the labyrinth and the Muscle Star, they will stop watching and come closer to us.

......It's a hassle, but let's forget about it for now and have a nice meal, we'll think about the Valkyrie later. We return to the museum at a faster walking pace. I call out to Sebastian and quickly lock myself in my room. It's time for a delicious dinner!

"What do you guys want to eat?

I ask, and requests come in one after another. Everyone had a specific food in mind. We start breakfast a little later than usual.

"Yummy!" "Coo-coo!"

Belle and Raine, without even batting an eye, were gorging themselves on a thick wyvern steak (with a hint of garlic). Their smiles are like flowers blooming.

"Oh, my God!" "Kookooooooo!"

Tulu and Tamamo are also very excited after eating wyvern cutlets.

"Kikka, this one is good too." "Kikka, this one is good too." "Yes, this one is good too.

Sara and her friends share the rice with Fukuchan and the others, but they also share and enjoy the various dishes. This is a scene I have often seen in Japan.

"Yuta, this fried food is good. It goes well with ale."

I won't serve you ale in the morning if you look at me like that.

"Yes, ale would go well with that. I'll serve it as a snack the next time we have a drink together.

Please don't be so openly disappointed. I can't let Sara and the others see a mug of ale floating in the air in the morning. I'll turn away and have breakfast too.

What shall we have? I'm curious about the oak cutlet and the rough bird cutlet, but I think I'll start with the magma fish, which has been on my mind for a while. Wyvern's super-thick steaks are on the menu for the evening. Magma fish grilled with salt and white rice. A simple but charming sight. Miso soup and pickles would make a perfect breakfast.

I use chopsticks to loosen the salmon-pink flesh of the magma fish and bring it to my mouth. The meat is hotter than I expected. I chew the meat while huffing and puffing. It's like putting a freshly grilled takoyaki in your mouth.

Is it the nature of the meat to retain heat? It's hard to believe it's a fish, but it's a magma fish. It's a pain to huff and puff every time.

When you bite into the hot fish, after a moment of strong resistance, the flesh collapses and the mouth is filled with the rich flavor of the fish. I thought the meat was similar to salmon, but it is not. You feel as if you ate a rich seafood soup even though you ate grilled fish.

It's a strange taste that is incomparable to other fish, as it is called a delicacy from another world. Well, it tastes good, but it's very strange. But it tastes good.
