Isekai Nonbiri Nouka - Chapter 726

Chapter 726: Evening Meal

A meadow at midnight.

Illuminated by the light magic casted by Dors, there are large pits here and there.

There were even gigantic holes in some places.

There must have been a fierce battle here.

I wonder how Count Pugyaru survived in such a place.

Is he actually very strong?

No, the butler said that Count Pugyarus self-preservation methods are off the roof.

He might have managed to negotiate.

..

Thats still something amazing.

Yeah.

-0-

Well, I brought food and cooking utensils.

Or rather, thats all my luggage is.

To be honest, I came out to look for the missing Count Pugyaru but I didnt think I could be of any help in finding anyone.

I had no experience in searching for missing people.

And it was even the middle of the night.

So I thought, it would be best if I acted like a man who would follow instructions and not get in the way.

Thats why I carried my own food on my back so that I could at least prepare food.

Well, Count Pugyaru was found safe and sound so I wasnt able to use them.

Regretful.

No, its a good thing that I didnt need to use them.

Im not sad.

It seems like she hasnt eaten anything since this morning.

.

Thats not good.

Very not good.

Even if it is already midnight, you still have to eat.

Its not a bad idea to eat outdoors.

No no no, theres no need to rush back to the city.

Fortunately, I brought food and cooking utensils.

Ah, really fortunate.

So, lets eat.

-0-

I unpacked my luggage and started cooking.oh, I need to start fire first.

Fufufu.

Unlike in the past, Im able to make fire quickly now.

I can feel my growth.

Hnn?

I heard that Doraim cooks but Dors can cook too?

Arent you the dragon king?

Ah, Beton-san, please sit down.

Bron, Hermes, and Prada will help me. Dors and Doraim will cook on their own since what they want to cook doesnt need extra hands.

Uhm, excuse me, that, its this.ehto, arent you going to ask what happened?

We can always listen while we are eating.

Yeah, lets go with that.

I continued cooking.

-0-

Okay, its done.

But dont expect too much since this is only a simple soup.

How about Dors?

Mines done too..village chief, dont look at me with too much surprise. When I was young, I cooked for myself. If its just this much, I can do it. How about Doraim?

I think it would be better to wait for the radish to soak up more for more flavor. Ill take care of this so please go ahead.

Okay.

Then, prepare the bowls and plates.

Beton-san.

Excuse me, they are in the box over there.

Can you please take them?

Yeah, thats it.

Thank you.

Ah, how many mochi do you want in your soup, Beton-san?

What I mean by mochi is this white food.

Two.

I really dont mind if you want three.

Hahaha, three then.

What about Bron, Dors, and Doraim?

Two, three, three.

What about Prada and Hermes?

Three, four.

Yeah, we have more.

Ive brought more than enough since I expected that it would take time to search.

Besides, we will be pounding new mochi soon so we need to consume them.

Dont be shy.

One more for Dors and one more for Doraim.

Three more for Prada?

Thats six.

Can you eat them all?

You havent eaten since this morning.okay.

Six for you then.

Bron and Hermes will think about it after they eat their share.

Okay.

How about you, Beton-san?

Three is enough?

Is it?

Just let me know if you want more.

Well then, lets eat.

Since we were eating outdoors, there were no tables or chairs.

So we each sit on a moderately sized rock.

I thought Beton-san was going to sit at the best spot but he asked Dors to sit there.

So, shes someone who respects her elders.

She doesnt seem to be a bad person.

Since I was impressed with her kindness, I hoped that Dors would not try to give up that seat to me.

You just need to cast a spell on the ground and make a table and chairs?

No, Im not against it but I think.ah, in order to converse about what happened, it is better to set up a more formal venue like that?

Right, we still have to talk about that.

Got it.

Ill leave it to you.

-0-

The table and chairs are luxurious and not suitable for outdoor use.

They are reasonably sturdy but they are made of clay so Im not comfortable putting dishes on them.

I put down the cloth I brought with me on the table to make it a tablecloth.

I put down the bowls of soup that I had made and the plates of stir-fried rice that Dors had made.

It looks like Doraim still needs time so well start eating what we have first.

By the way, he is making stewed radish.

He needs to keep an eye on the low heat to make sure the temperature wont increase.

Because of that, he has to enjoy his food a little far away.

Now, lets eat.

-0-

Hmmm, this is Dors stir-fried rice.

Its delicious.

To be honest, I was surprised.

The dragons were generally happy with the food in the village so I thought their cooking level was the same as the old oni maids but this stir fry is on the same level as the current oni maids.

Were the dragons cooking properly in their homes?

No, that is not the case.

?

The dragons or rather, the ancient dragons, have a rule that civilization and culture that we should live in should be according to the average civilization and culture of the world.

What does that mean?

To put it simply, according to our law, we can only live as much as the average of the world is. If we want to live a better life, we should raise the worlds standard of living.

I see.

However, too much civilization and culture can be dangerous. Us, the ancient dragons, are in a position where we have to regulate excessive civilizations and cultures. Its pretty difficult.

Right, not a long time ago, Loo and Dors talked about the universal ship.

However, how is that related to Dors cooking skills?

..its not uncommon for young people to do several dangerous things out of curiosity before they take on their roles At that time, I thought the law was just a distraction.

So, there was a time when Dors was young and impulsive too.

Thats how it is. Well, a role is a role. If I didnt have this opportunity, I dont even know when will I be able to cook next.

Thats tough.

Yeah. Seriously. In Big Tree Village, the oni maids are all glaring at me.

Ahahaha.

Im sure theyre not doing that. They are just treating the kitchen as their territory.

If you ask them nicely, Im sure theyll let you use it.

Also, Im sure the children will be pleased with the food you cook.

Theyll be happy. However, Raimeirens mood will worsen, twice.

What about Raimeiren?

Ah..shes good at roasting something.

The amount that can be eaten will be dependent on her mood.

Ah, I see.

Next time, Ill ask Ann and the others to casually make a move to teach her how to cook.

Yeah, thats a good idea.

If Raimeiren can cook something edible, then, Dors no longer need to hold back in cooking for the children.

Thats good.

Hnn?

Whats the matter, Beton-san?

Ah, do you want a refill?

Well, Doraims stewed radishes will be ready soon and they will be distributed right away too.

No, thats not what I want to say..well, I was wondering what happened to asking about what happened.isnt that the reason why this table was set up?

.

I-I didnt forget.

Yes, I havent forgotten about it.

I was just about to ask.

Hahaha.

..

Im sorry.

I forgot.
