A flash of genius ran through my brain. Floated by this flash of genius, I made a big speech to Gina. I didn't realize that what I thought was a brilliant spark of an idea had a serious flaw. ....... What was I going to do, I couldn't tell Gina that I couldn't do it now after she was so happy about it. .......
Curry powder.
Curry powder.
Curry powder.
I keep checking the package of the retort-packed curry, but the only thing that says spices is curry powder.
Are you sure? Is this okay? Isn't curry powder too general? There is a possibility that some of the spices in the curry powder may contain foods to which you are allergic. Are you saying that such people should not eat curry?
Unforgivable. Such inequality should not be allowed. I will file a complaint. I will be a monster complainer! I'll run for office on a platform of clear food labeling!
I'd say ......, but it's another world, so the phone is disconnected. So the food companies will never get my wish.
......I'm going to have to stop escaping reality and do something about it.
I stare at the package hoping to find some clue, but alas, I can't get even the slightest hint.
It's labeled as beef and chicken extract, but what is extract? Do you squeeze beef and chicken? ...... only adds to the mystery.
Hmmm, the curry package doesn't seem to help, I guess I'll have to dig up some memories from within my memory.
...... are you okay?
"Yuta, are you all right? Your face is turning pale, isn't it?"
As I froze in my tracks at this test of my memory, Dolly approached me with a concerned look.
Apparently, my face was pale with a lack of confidence in my memory.
Ah, there's Dolly! The Great Spirit of the Forest, Dolly, who knows plants like the back of her hand. Maybe we can work something out!
"Well, Dolly, does she know anything about spices?"
"Spices? I know most plants, so I'd say I'm an expert.
What encouraging words. Come to think of it, Dolly did something about the rice and the coffee, didn't she?
Usually Sylphy is with me, but today, at this time and this place, Dolly's presence might be a fate that the heavens have prepared for me to make curry.
Well, then, does it also mean that it is fate that Sylphy has created a black history?
Let's pretend this idea never occurred to me, because ...... heaven is about to be carved to pieces.
"I'm in need of some spices, so I was wondering if you could help me out.
Yes, that's fine. What kind of spices do you want to know about?
Dolly accepted with a gracious smile, but I had to explain to her what kind of spices I was looking for first.
I showed her a picture of coffee, and she ate some rice.
I've learned that if it's something in this world, I just have to think of it and say its name and it will be translated, but I guess there's nothing I can do about the spices unless I remember their names.
So you're still relying on my memory? No, there's still a way.
"Let's see... ...... If it's a spice called dolly, can you identify it even if it's been dried and shattered and cooked with other vegetables and meats and many different spices for a long time?"
Then let them try the tiger's curry. Fortunately, I have bought three boxes of retort curries, and although I have a great deal of unfulfilled desires, I can offer one box of curry if it will make it easier to eat curry in this world.
"I think I can identify it if it is still in some shape, but if it is shattered and cooked, I think it is difficult. Oh, if it has a distinctive taste or aroma, it might be possible to identify it."
"I see. ......"
I think I can identify some of them, but not all of them.
If you can identify them perfectly, I'm willing to offer you a retort curry. ...... I'll try to do it on my own first.
It's not that I am afraid to offer you curry. It's just that I didn't have the courage to open the box.
If I can't make the curry in the end, I may open the box, but if there is still a possibility, I will try on my own.
"Well, I'll think about it and let you know later.
I understand. You can ask me questions anytime."
"Yes."
I'll have to do my best to remind myself to ask questions: .......
I know what spices are on the high street. Turmeric and hawk's claw, garlic and ginger...... oh, and I think cumin and nutmeg were probably in there too. Other .......
Hmmm, I can't remember. But I don't think it's enough to make a curry.
I guess I still have to dig up the memory of curry that lies deep in the recesses of my memory.
A hint: ...... is the show "Running with Iron Arm". They made curry in that show too, and whatever it is, I remember it.
...... is no good. Strawberry juice used as a secret ingredient made such a big impact that I can't remember anything else.
Oh, and the devil shit! I remember it because he said it smelled really bad and it was impressive. What's that? Was devil's dung the name of the spice?
"Dolly, have you ever heard of a spice called devil's dung?"
"Devil's dung? Do you eat feces?"
Dolly looks very uncomfortable. It's rare to see Dolly make such a clear, disapproving face. I understand how she feels.
"It's not real dung, but some kind of spice that smells like it, but I don't think we have it in this world."
I guess that's what you call it when the devil's dung doesn't translate.
It is possible that it could be translated if we know the original name of the plant, but it seems unlikely that we can get it. Well, it was a hidden flavor, so we'll make up for it elsewhere.
I tell Dolly that everything is fine and dive deep into my memory again. Curry, curry, curry.......
Oof!
I just remembered something great. Now, if I can remember this perfectly, I can make curry.
An anime about three sisters. A character in the anime, an upperclassman who always reveals his breast plate with his shirt open. He used to sing a song about spices used in curry.
The melody and lyrics of the song stuck in my head so strangely that I memorized it and sang it at karaoke several times. It was a few years ago, so my memory of the lyrics is hazy, but I remember the melody.
Do you think you can remember it if you sing it? I think the first one was .......
****
"So, you're a necromancer, and you're going to teach me how to cook? Thank you for your ...... efforts so late at night."
Gina's father, Mr. Pete, is glaring at me grimly. I guess he meant to be sarcastic when he called me a genie.
Please don't be so grumpy just because I pulled you away from Gina for a moment.
"Hey, old man! What's with that attitude! I asked the master for the diner!"
"Gina did that for me?"
Gina's angry words instantly put Mr. Pete in a better mood. It was very weird to see Mr. Pete in a good mood in spite of his anger.
Probably, when Gina said "for the diner," Mr. Pete translated it to "for himself. He has useful ears. Oh, Gina grabbed Mr. Pete.
...... I wonder if "messed up" is the word for this. Thank goodness Gina's brother is not here. If he had been, it probably would have been much worse.
"Thank you for going out of your way for Gina. Please forgive my husband, he will be punished.
Gina's mother, Daniela, offered us tea with her apology. She probably meant that we should wait for a while while drinking the tea.
After serving the tea, Daniela went to Pete with a smile on her face and shook her obon.
"GWAH!"
Mr. Pete's scream is heard with a dull thud. He was hit pretty hard, but I wonder if he is still alive.
The fallen Mr. Pete was forcibly triggered, and Daniela and Gina began their sermon. I am relieved that he is alive, but I guess he will start cooking only after the sermon is over.
It was a good thing I had left Belle, Sarah, and the others at the inn. If we had gotten off on the wrong foot so easily, we would have been here all night.
It's still going to take a while, so let's go over the steps. The spices I derived from the song are: .......
coriander, cinnamon, jalapeno, cardamom, turmeric, paprika, saffron, chocolate, garam masala
To remind myself of all these spices, I sang a song expressing the wonderfulness of curry several times last night.
I was supposed to keep my voice low, but I got a little too loud during the singing and woke up Belle and her friends, who were so happy that they beguiled me into endless singing.
The belles learned the song perfectly, and we all sang a chorus expressing the wonderfulness of curry.
It was a very happy evening for me, because Belle and Dolly were so cute and sang happily together.
This and other spices I remembered. Add cumin, garlic and ginger, and you probably have curry powder. Perhaps. .......
Chocolate is a secret ingredient, and I remember hearing that garam masala is a mixed spice in some cartoon, so I think it would be OK to add cumin, which was not mentioned in the song.
The next morning, Dolly gave me a detailed description of the spices she remembered, and although I was shocked to learn that cinnamon was tree bark, I was ready to have it produced in the core of the labyrinth.
After that, I went to the labyrinth and gave the materials to be discarded to the core, and explained them to the core with Dolly's help. In addition, I asked the core to grow various spices in the lower and middle levels of the labyrinth.
The plan was to have the spices grow after the curry became popular, but it became too much of a hassle to explain again and there are many plants that are not used as spices, so I don't think there will be any problem.
After processing the spices with the full power of the spirits, night fell and I stormed into the cafeteria because I was planning to return the day after tomorrow.
Considering that we are going to study and make curry from now on, it is quite a hard schedule. But for the sake of a good curry, I can do it!
"Master."
Well, the sermon is over. Now comes the moment of truth.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
