Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children While Being an Adventurer~

Samples

I changed from the white uniform before I dirtied it and moved with Austin-sama to the dining hall to have dinner with the Stantval family .

There, we met Lilika-sama again, but Lilika-sama who was surprised to see us raised her voice and ended up ignoring Austin-sama’s presence . I also became friends with her older brother——Reinhardt, who was the same age as me and we enjoyed the meal thoroughly .

—————

The next day, while resting in our room after having breakfast, a guide came to inform us that Austin-sama has called us over to get experimenting with the freeze-dry soup .

“Good morning . Have you slept well?”

He guided us to the Stanval house’s kitchen, where Austin-sama was waiting with a smile on his face .

“Yes, we had a good rest . ”

“”Slept a lot~””

“Still, is it fine for you to be in the kitchen, Austin-sama? Wouldn’t it be better to carry the finished soup to the lounge?”

“This way is much more convenient . Like this, you can prepare lunch while checking on us if we are not missing any key points . ”

“Ehh!?”

It seems that he was serious yesterday about the curry~

Rather, I didn’t think he would make plans so properly . Besides, even if I had to cook lunch, I wouldn’t have a problem if the kitchen wasn’t available .

“Err… how much should I make?”

“You can use all the ingredients there, you can make lots . You don’t have to bother with bread or salad, so you can focus on making the curry . ”

Taking a glance where Austin-sama was pointing at, there was a pile of onions, potatoes, carrots, and Orc meat . Of course, the curry powder sold by the Fiji Company wasn’t missing .

“You really are prepared . ”

“I’m asking you to do something that isn’t your job . This much is only given . ”

“By the way, do you mind if I make something personal on the occasion?”

“Sure, I don’t mind . ”

I checked whether I could make something I personally wanted on the occasion and got a kind permission from Austin-sama .

“Thank you very much . Then, I will get right into work . ”

“Yes, please go ahead . ”

I moved to the place with the pile of ingredients right away .

“”What kind of curry?””

“A normal curry using Orc meat . Can you help me?”

“”Yea!””

First, I chopped up the veggies and meat and placed them in a large saucepan, after stir-frying them for a little, I poured in some water and simmered until cooked . Actually, using soup stock would be better, but since we are making a good amount this time, I will put up with using water .

“”Onii~chan, this?””

“Yup, that’s scum . Please do your best to remove as much as possible . ”

“”Yess~””

After asking Allen and Elena to skim the scum from the curry, I checked on Austin-sama’s group, but the freeze-drying of the life magic-using knights seemed to be going well, so they were now focused on mass-producing the soup . They are apparently preparing samples to take with them to the negotiations with Creta .

“”No more scum~””

“Thank you both . This will definitely come out delicious now . ”

“”Really?””

I added roux from curry powder and flour I prepared in a separate pot to the saucepan the children cleaned of scum .

Oh, how about I add chocolate as a secret ingredient?

“All that’s left is to mix and simmer it until it’s done . ”

“”Can’t wait~””

There was enough time, so I decided to cook it normally without using the Aging magic, and moved to work on the personal project next .

“”Next is~?””

“Next I will make a few soups and turn them into instant soups . ”

“Instant soups?”

“That’s right . ”

Freeze-dry soup, as the name suggests, is a soup that undergone Freeze and Dry magic process, so to make the manufacturing process unclear, we have decided to call it instant soup .

The instant soup has already been taken in charge by the royal family, so I am unable to sell it . However, there’s no problem in making some for personal use, moreover, there won’t be any problems to gift them to other people, as long as the quantity is not too large .

Therefore, I will make two or three kinds of soups, freeze-dry them and deliver some to Rudolph-san who is leaving tomorrow . The rest will be used as emergency rations for the kids .

“What kind of soup would be good?”

“Err, you see~ Allen likes miso soup!”

“Elena likes tori soup, you know!”

Miso soup and tomato soup, huh .

“That sounds nice . Why don’t we make curry soup too . ”

“”Yeah, sounds nice!””

I had the kids help me with a miso soup with plenty of ena grass (spinach) and shii (shiitake) mushrooms . A tori (tomato) soup with lots of cabbage and bacon . And a curry soup with lots of sausages and onions . We made these three kids of soups .

By the time we were done with the soups, the curry I cooked for lunch was also done .

“Takumi, you made some delicious-looking soups~”

“Austin-sama, are you guys done?”

“Yes, we finished safely . Since you made three kinds, they are most likely not for lunch, right? Are you also making instant soups?”

“Yes, that’s right . I was just about to freeze them . ”

“They look tasty . ”

“… Would you like a taste?”

“Thank you so much . ”

When I offered the overly curious Austin-sama a taste, his expression brightened .

Even though he just has to ask if he wants a taste~

“Then, let’s get to freeze them…”

“Leave it to Allen~”

“Leave it to Elena~”

“Eh!? Ehhh!?”

Simultaneously with their declaration, Allen and Elena used magic to make the soups float in the air one by one .

The spectacle of floating liquid was quite stunning .

“”Onii~chan, ice!””

“… Oh, right!——Freeze . ”

I was dumbfounded so the children had to urge me to freeze the floating soup .

The frozen soup tumbled down into the pot . Since the soups were floating above the pot, we finished with barely any soup dripping on the ground .

“”Onii~chan, next step~””

“Yep, indeed . ——Dry . ”

Next, I dried the piles of frozen soups in the pots .

Like this, the operation is complete! The three kinds of soups ended up getting mixed together, but we just have to separate them later~

“That’s some ridiculous method you have here…”

“Hahaha~ that was just an accident, an accident . ”

It was really an accident . It’s pathetic, but I got completely led by Allen and Elena…

“We are done here as well, how about we have lunch now?”

“”Lunch~!””

“Indeed . The kitchen has been filled with that fragrance for a while now and everyone is getting restless . ”

“”Quickly, quickly~””

Certainly, the knights making the instant soup were stealing glances at us once in a while, but the children seem to be the most restless here .
