Boiled Tofu of Lovesickness.First Half

 

It’s the chilly season now.

The trees scatter their leaves, and the wind cools down… I wonder if I can go back home.

Hello, it’s Shuri.

I was seriously worried about if there’s a law which protects you from something like getting abducted into another world.
Besides, I’m working here now, so I’ll just have to establish myself here.

The battle for the rights over the salt ended, and I received a large amount of reward money and ingredients. Ganglabe-san was extremely happy. It seems with this we could increase our troops and complete our armour.
The plan for an assistant cook seemed be to delayed slightly though.

“Why aren’t we recruiting for an assistant cook?”
“Because there’s no one capable enough to cover you with your skills. Furthermore, getting someone who can cook at this time is also…”

It seems like my hardships will continue.
It’s not like I can’t just teach someone though.

“Spreading your skills for cooking to other places is a bit…”

I-Is it really such a big deal?!
After all, even Riru-san and Cougar-san seem to like it…

I was slightly shocked but, a battle was happening in the cold district during the cold season.

Iron and copper and such. Basically the materials for making weapons and daily necessities.

But the iron seem to be able to create good quality steel so a fight is inevitable after all.

We’re in a cold district during the cold season so the snows been piled up.

If snow piles up for 1 meter then it’s at a point where it’s been piled up right?

“It’s cold isn’t it, Riru-san”
“…”

Oh noes, Riru-san’s solidifying.
There’s no helping it.

“Hyoi”
“…so warm!”

Something I made recently, a warm amazake drink.

Made from alcohol malt. It has alcohol so it’s not very popular.

“It’s sweet, not like sake”
“But it’s sake after all, so only one bottle”

‘Ku Ku’ drank Riru-san. So moe.

Turning around suddenly, I see Ganglabe-san strategizing whilst drinking the amazake I made.

Hm? One of the commanders is looking over here. I wonder what that’s about?

In the end, it seems like we’re just resting today and moving forward tomorrow.

Doing the dishes on this kind of day is kinda tough. The cold pierces your skin.

“Excuse me”

Hn?

“Ah, it’s Ahrius-san”
“I have something to talk about”

Ahrius-san is the magic specialist who commands the magician unit.

That was Ahrius-san. A peerless beauty.

In the magician’s unique robe held two short wands in the chest area.
That was Ahrius-san. I wonder why she wanted to talk with me.

“What is it?”
“W-well you see…”

The me who felt that Ahrius-san being slightly embarrassed was erotic, should be normal.

“Would you teach me how to cook?”

…It’s the face of a girl in love.

Seemed to like Ganglabe-san.

Glimpsing over him, touching him boldly and such.

You don’t even need to ask because it’s obvious at first glance.

The only person who hasn’t realised it seems to be only Ganglabe-san himself.

“Cooking, is it? I don’t mind but do you have any cooking experience?”
“No…”

This, if I teach her cooking I can only see an ending with a grotesque stomachache.

“How about holding a knife?”

“Even though you have no experience cooking?”
“Sorry, I was being pretentious…”

The me who felt that Ahrius-san folding her arms awkwardly was erotic is healthily normal.

“Hnn, suddenly asking me to teach you how to cook…

“That…”
“But why so sudden?”

There hasn’t been many chances to talk with me till now.

It was scary so I haven’t talked with her much.

“That is… you won’t tell anyone?”

“I… like Ganglabe”

I know!!! Everyone knows!!!

In order to lower the wave of killing intent, it seems like they shoot at a ○ motion.
‘Guu’, I endured saying that everyone already knows.

“Haa, is that so”

I’m, a little jealous.”

This BL factor, I’ve never wanted this at all!!!

“That’s, well…”

Recently Riru and Cougar’s troops have made great efforts so he’s looking over there.

Even magic, I’ll learn more.”

The worries of one’s love. A secluded young lady.
Dang, the compensation for being beautiful is amazing.

“Ahrius-san, you aren’t troubled with magic are you?”
“… Just a little”

So you were troubled.
Riru-san and Cougar-san had them, so I was thinking maybe but.

“Magic isn’t really my field so I can’t say anything about that.

“Eh!? Really!?”

Close, too close, smells good….
Ha, what am I doing!?

“The region I was in, there’s food for people who were intimate.

“Eh? You’ll be there too?”
“At that time, please just treat me as one of the background”

I said and felt like crying.

“And? Did you invite me over for some cooking meeting?”

That night I called for Ganglabe-san and Ahrius-san.

A hamburg steak was the reward. Beef is quickly running low.

“Welcome dear customers. Please sit over here”

I gently suggested them to sit on the chairs.

(TL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzu)
In the fish sauce, soaking in spring onions as well would’ve end up harming the taste of this dish.

“Now, if you would allow me to start cooking”
“Oh, cooking in front of us?”

Ganglabe-san seems to be having fun.

Like I said, I didn’t want this BL factor!

“Even if I say that, the stock is already done. It’ll be done shortly”

This time I allowed myself to make boiled tofu.

The quality is good and makes a good stock.

“This is where you place the tofu”

It was tofu made from soybean and bittern which I got at the sea.

Because I had to start by making the tools for creating this.
For that I made a hamburg steak for Riru-san. Beef, its stock is looking bad.

“It’s finishing slowly boiling with a simmer. It’s boiled tofu.”
“…Just this?”

Ganglabe made a surprised looking face.

“This is best eaten during the cold season”

“No, I won’t be participating.”
“What?”

I handed over the special ladle.
The one with the holes in it.

“Serving it to each other, poking at the same pot.
That’s the real thrill of hot pot cooking.”

This time, Ahrius-san made a face like she realised something.

“Ganglabe, let me serve you a dish”
“Hn? Ah, thanks”

Ahrius-san places three tofus onto Ganglabe-san’s plate.

“In that case let me serve you your dish”
“Eh?! Eh, then, ok…”

Feeling embarrassed she gave her ladle and plate to him.
Giving each other three pieces, the dinner meeting starts.

“Delicious!”
“Really… even though it’s so simple.”

Both of them were surprised.
But, saying it’s simple is another thing.

“Ganglabe-san. If this hot pot had no kelp added to it what to you think?”

“No, the taste would be drastically different.”

Both of them were confused.

“I won’t go into too much detail but, the minor role of the kelp melting into the hot pot is an extremely small factor which makes it savoury as it permeates the lead act, the tofu, which is what creates this taste.
How is it? To the lead Ganglabe-san, I wonder who it is that makes you savoury?”

Somehow saying that myself is so embarrassing.
Ganglabe made a face like ‘what’, and Ahrius-san was looking over at Ganglabe-san with a feverish gaze.

“No way, Ahrius…”
“…yes”

Confirms the embarrassed Ahrius-san.

While the two talk from afar, Shuri shall make a cool exit…

The next day, Ahrius-san thanked me.

‘Riajuu should just go an explode’, was what I was thinking though.
For the comrades close to me to become happy, I wasn’t thinking about that.

By the way I was asked things about composition, elements and molecules so I answered them.
We won the battle later on but, it seems Ahrius-san was unstoppable.
