Chapter 130

A Cook

I had the silky, Kinue-san, learn the [Cooking] skill that Rokuko got from gacha .

As for the results…

“You became good at cooking?”

“Also, the time it takes to cook has become instant… Relatively . ”

From what Kunue-san said, along with compensating for her cooking, it also seems to stop time for everything other than her cooking while she is cooking . So the person herself will be properly cooking, but everything around her would see it as immediate . It also doesn’t appear to work for anything other than cooking .

“… Even while boiling?”

“Yes, I can’t do anything else . I cannot do something like room cleaning while it is boiling . But if it’s something like putting away cooking utensils, I can do that . ”

That’s harsh .

But really, space-time magic that’s limited by cooking?

First off, let’s prepare some ingredients and see what it’s like .

I took out a recipe and some ingredients with DP . She’ll make strawberry shortcake .

I invited Ichika and Meat over to act as food samplers . I didn’t call her, but Rokuko came too .

“It’s a skill I got you know? Wouldn’t I always want to see it?”

“Well, you would’ve come anyway even if there was’t a reason . ”

“… Rather, invite me properly! Wouldn’t I feel like I was being excluded?”

Rokuko sulked . Let’s call her over as well next time .

“I’ll make it, then . First is the preparations and… done . I am finished . ”

“Fast! That wasn’t even ten seconds!?”

There was a beautiful strawberry shortcake in front of us . However, it wasn’t that the cake had simply appeared all on its own . There were traces that the oven made from phoenix eggshell fragments was used as well .

It was sliced up immediately . White cream and yellow fluff, with a beautiful layer of red strawberries on top . Looks delicious .

“It really was an instant . It’s more amazing than I thought . ”

“Y’know, Goshujin-sama, could ya give Kinue-san to me?”

“To Ichika? Hahaha, of course not . ”

“Tch, unfortunate~”

By the way, as far as the inn is concerned, it was decided that Rei, Kinue-san, and Nerune had all three come to be Rokuko’s subordinates . They were treated as my juniors .

Ichika was my senior in the respect that she had come to the dungeon before me, but Ichika is my slave . There’s no way I could do something like giving my junior to a slave .

“… From my point of view, an hour has passed since I began preparations . I think not being able to do anything but cooking would be hard for ordinary humans? I am alright with it because I am a housework fairy, though . ”

“That’s… a considerably severe limitation . ”

It’d probably be a godly skill for people that love cooking . I should say it’s the ideal skill for a cook huh? They could spend however much time they want on cooking .

… It’s a good thing I didn’t use it myself . It’d be different if I could have used it on sleeping though .

“Kehma, this is amazingly delicious!”

“It’s so sweet, like it’s melting, nom nom…”

Rokuko and Meat had immediately filled their mouths with cake . A great way to eat .

I’ll eat some too . Thinking that, I looked for the cake… huh, there’s none?

“Ah, sorry . This is the last piece . ”

Right then, Rokuko was stabbing the final piece of cake with her fork .

“Oi, seriously? You guys really eat fast . I wanted to eat too…”

“There’s no helping it, then . Here . ”

Rokuko came at me, aiming the fork-pierced piece of cake at me .

… Everyone’s lines of sight assembled towards me . This, is is that? The ‘Aaah’ encounter?

“Hey, open your mouth . ”

“… No, hand over the fork . ”

“If you don’t open your mouth, I’ll eat it!”

What kind of threat is that? But I want to eat cake… Kuh . As expected, Rokuko’s gotten smart . I wonder if something happened like her leveling up?

“I got it, now that it’s come to this I have to use my last resort…”

“Un, now, submissively be thrusted . ” [1]

“But I refuse! Rokoku, don’t think things will just easily go your way!”

I turned my back to Rokuko and spoke to Kinue-san .

“Kinue-san, please do it again . ”

“Yes, I’ll do it n—… done . ”

A second cake finished in an instant . Yep, seeing it a second time, that [Cooking] skill really is amazing .

“Meat, Ichika, we need to eat that one too! Help me!”

“Itadakimasu!” [2]

“It’s bad for Goshujin-sama, but it’s Rokuko-sama’s order~ . It can’t be helped~!”

All three of them attacked the new shortcake .

However, I simply allowed them to do it . As for why…

“I’ll take the remaining ones, then . ”

“Fueh!?”

Rokuko’s cheeks were filled with shortcake . There were three other whole shortcakes… The answer why is simple . I ordered her to make four with my fingers . Our oven can easily cook four at a time after all .

As expected, they weren’t able to eat four more . I also couldn’t eat too much, so I wound up putting them in [Storage] . One will be a present to Rei and Nerune, who aren’t here .

I immediately isolated a piece with my fork .

Though it was true that the ingredients bought with DP were superior, Kinue-san’s skill in cooking was also really good . I missed this flavor, it’s like the cakes I had eaten before coming to this other world .

“Delicious . It wouldn’t even be outdone by the cakes sold in Japanese shops . ”

“I am honored to receive your praise, master . ”

Kinue-san bloomed with a smile .

“Gu, f-fine Kehma! But remember, this [Cooking] skill is something I got, in other words it’s my achievement!”

“Nom nom nom…”

“Ha~n, I ate somethin’ good, happiness . High class with plenty of sugar, too amazin’…”

Yeah, cake is a sugary luxury, huh . Let’s sell some to the saintess . I wonder what cost would be good? About ten gold for a piece?

Looking outside as I thought about it, it was snowing .

Winter, huh .

… Ah, come to think of it, what did the village’s name wind up being?

Ooi Gozoh . You sure you want to leave it as Gozoh+Roppu’s Love Love Village~?
