Chapter 189.3
After a while, breakfast was ready .
For the first dish of today’s menu we have mustard soup . That’s the same dish we had last night .
Mustard soup is treated in this region like miso soup, so for today’s soup’s ingredients, we’re using the leftover crab from yesterday and the eggs I brought .
Another dish we’re having is the usuyaki bread made from Kotsubuyarikusa . A dish that I ate a lot of when I lived back at the forest . We also have some pickled vegetables that resemble pickled daikon radish .
Mornings at the fishing village start early .
Because of that breakfasts here are usually made up of something that can be easily prepared plus another dish that can fill the stomach .
“Oh! Today’s breakfast sure looks extravagant . ” [Kai]
“Where did the bird eggs come from?” [Kei]
“Ryoumkun brought it as a souvenir for us . He says he’s raising chickens using dimension magic . ” [Mother]
“He even helped out with today’s breakfast . You boys could learn a thing or two from him, you know?” [Mei]
Kai-san and the others who have just woken up ignored their older sisters’ words and stared at the soup with twinkling eyes .
Looks like they like it . As the one who gifted it to them, that makes me really happy .
“Thank you…” [Hoi]
“? Ah, you’re welcome . ” [Ryouma]
The dad muttered a ‘thank you’ quietly . Our eyes met, so I realized that he was thanking me .
He didn’t say anything more and quietly started eating after picking up his plate .
Does he have low blood pressure? He’s acting completely differently compared to yesterday .
“Sorry about that . My husband isn’t very talkative without liquor . He’s the kind of guy who just says one word when he needs something . ” [Mother]
“I see . ” [Ryouma]
I feel like I heard about it yesterday, but I didn’t think it was this bad .
“He’s not angry, so don’t mind him . You eat too, Ryoumkun . ” [Mother]
As the mother of the house said that, she got some kotsubuyarikusa bread and placed it over her plate .

The dad started eating, so Kai-san and the others started eating too .
Well, in that case, I might as well dig in .
…Yep . Delicious . The kotsubuyarikusa bread has a peculiar taste, but after soaking it in the mustard soup, it’s not noticeable at all . If anything it’s served to only add a nice accent .
But I wonder why…
This soup seems to be really nostalgic . It’s almost as if I’m about to remember something just from eating it .
“What’s the matter? You’re making an odd face . Do you not like the food?” [Mother]
Oops, the mother is looking at me anxiously .

“I was just thinking about something . I feel like I’ve eaten this soup somewhere before, but I just can’t remember where . ” [Ryouma]
“Oh, so that’s why . ” [Mother]
The mother sighed in relief .
Fortunately that cleared up the misunderstanding .
There’s not much time, so I better leave the thinking for later and just finish eating quickly .
Everyone eats quickly too anyway, and I have to fight the mud salamanders today .
I need to prepare myself thoroughly!
