296 11-9 Schwardberts Empire Master and Disciple

Now, speaking of customs in Ains Hale, there is one more thing besides combat training.

Well, since this is a job and deals with hazardous materials, renting a room in Sicilian-sama's mansion would be hesitant to do so.

Therefore, I decided to use my 'Small World of Isolation (Private Lounge)' skill to do it in that room.

''Master. What do you think?

Well, I'm not particularly particular about what to call him, so I think it's fine to call him whatever you want to call him.

I've been calling Reinerich master too.

Which one. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what to call it.　Here, here, after a bit of time, I'm floating out of the squeeze. I should be able to squeeze some more.

Okay. I'll try.

If you can squeeze 90% of the time, you'll almost always succeed, but it's better to have a slightly higher rate of success anyway.

Misela's skills are getting better, and although the level itself is still low, the success rate for creating potions is also getting better.

Well, for me, I don't need to come to the empire to do the work, but I can't discourage my apprentice from doing it, and I had something I wanted to make personally, so I decided to go along.

'Speaking of which, Mizera. How's your physical condition?

The long trip was still hard on Mizella, and she was getting tired and sick.

It's the kind of thing that can't be cured with a recovery potion, so shall I make something else?　But he refused to say that it's fine because it will heal itself if I take a break...is it safe to work anymore?

''Hmmm.......I'm still a little tired, but not to the point of worrying. But it's still too hard for me to go away....

I brought Mizzella, who doesn't have much physical strength to begin with, with me this time because it seemed to be risky, but I guess a long journey is going to be tough....

On top of that, Mizella is a diligent and diligent hardworking person who wants to do her job well.

Even now, she's a thoughtful and kind child who wants to make a lot of hard work so that she can give a lot of it to Ains Hale when she returns to Ains Hale because she can't distribute the potions wholesale.

These guys are just tightening up on purchases just because they are cheap. You definitely didn't consume all of them.

As soon as Mizzella's potion was distributed, the members of the "Mizzella-chan wo Maitreya" formed a line, and I saw a man who looked like the captain take out a piece of board and combine it with the pieces of board held by the people standing in line.

........Those guys have even prepared an allotment so that there won't be any trouble when buying Mizera's potions.

At the same time, it's scary, and at the same time, if it's still decided who's going to buy it before wholesale, the potions will still be in short supply no matter how long it takes.

And I have a feeling that they'll use every trick in the book to find out which one made it better.

You're not going to be able to find out who made it.　If that's the case, then the potion has sold and fewer people are hurt, so it's a good thing either way, right?

'And that's why Mizella's always busy, isn't it?　Don't try your hardest I'm not saying don't try your hardest I'm not saying don't try your hardest, but you could use a little more fun, right?　I don't think making potions all the time is too spectacular...

It's tempting to support the desire to meet expectations, and I understand the desire to be able to use the skills you've learned better, but I think it's important to separate public and private life.

........even if it's not as bad as Garcia's.

When you become a company employee, you should be working for the sake of living, but before you know it, you're living for the sake of working.........

Free time and holidays end up being a blur, or time flies by in a blur.......let's not. It's not good to remember.

'Huh. You sound like White one day. It's going to be all right. I'm working on it, but I'm having fun with it. And I don't just do a lot of potion making. I cook with Wendy-sama, go shopping with Aina and her friends, and have tea in the sun with White and Pokoko. All of these are precious and happy times that are irreplaceable.... And, of course, this time of the day when I'm doing alchemy with my husband.

"...I see. But if I decide you're overworked, I'll force you to stop. Health first, work second.

Yes, sir. I'll be careful.

Misela is in a good mood as she fills a bottle with the recovery potion she made, despite her small murmur that she is overprotective.

You're an excellent disciple. I have to do what I have to do as a master.

''........By the way, what are you making, Master?

This one?　What do you think it is?

'I'm asking because I don't know.......oil and red tongues?　And Galio?　And the powdered red tonga?　I don't know about other spices, but do you cook them?　That sounds pretty exciting....

Speaking of cooking, it's a dish, but it's more like a condiment for cooking. You add flavor to the oil. I'm thinking of making an oil that's a little spicy and tasty.

Yes.

Well, to put it simply, it's hot sauce.

I was thinking of making gyoza, but I didn't have any hot sauce, though I had soy sauce, so I thought I'd make some homemade hot sauce if I had to.

Do you make it by alchemy?

Well, partly.

...Is this what they call a waste of one's talent?

'It's terrible to waste money.... Even Misela would want to eat better food, wouldn't she?

''That's........yes, but.........'' Huh, you're a terrific alchemist, but I feel like it's a shame to use that skill for cooking...

'Haha. Well, I'm the one who makes what I think is necessary. I'm going to make something that's good for the world!　Reform in civilization!　How could I not be interested in that?

Not enough of that stuff, the desire to eat that stuff, the desire to have that stuff, that's what drives me!

It doesn't matter if I make something I won't use.

I wonder if the people who can think flexibly like this are the ones who become successful?　I guess I'm hard at the point where I'm thinking about... something too...

Well, to each his own. Well I guess I'll just start making them then.

Locuma oil.....

Dark amber oil made from the small, sesame-like seeds called lokma, squeezed out of small granular seeds called lokma and characterized by a strong, fragrant aroma...well, it's no different than sesame oil. Or rather, it's sesame oil.

I combine it with the oil of the oribulls I usually use and slowly warm it up.

While the temperature is still low, I put the halved red tonga into the oil with the seeds and a few spices that I bought from Lowcak to keep it warm.

Prepare a mixture of powdered red tonga and a small amount of combed red paprika and further unroasted lokmah in a metal bowl with water that has been wrought to extract the aromas and components of galio and zinjal from the wrought gold.

Make sure that the oil is hot, take a little bit and pour it over the powdered red tonga to create a fine, fluffy bubble that quickly disappears, so take it out before the ingredients inside get burnt and pour the rest of the mixture into the powder, a little bit at a time, and it's done.

''Well it smells terrific,''

Oh, my bad. Did I interrupt your concentration?

'My hands were held off, so it's okay. It's your apprentice's job to see what your master is doing, isn't it?　More importantly, it's all about the cooking process rather than the alchemy.

''Well, it's a discovery that there are some things you can do with alchemy and some things you can't. This fragrant aroma can't be produced by just extracting the scent and ingredients.

Yeah, the red colored hot oil looks good.

I wonder if you could make hot oil to eat by dunking some fried oniolu with miso and crushed gario in the bottom of this, and then adding more flavor to the jar.

Oh but if I had soybeans, I would have had tofu.

I would have loved to have had a cup of cold lager, stirred up in a sweat, with mapo tofu........

It looks spicy to look at........

'It's not as bad as it looks, is it?　With this and a little bit of soy sauce and a little bit of vinegar, the gyoza is delicious.

'You look like you're having fun. Gyoza?　I don't know, but I'm sure it's delicious.

'Oh!　The sticky and crispy dough, the juicy sauce, the soy sauce and hot oil sauce are a perfect match!　Combine that with a cold lager and a drink and ... yuck!　I can't wait to taste it!

''....I don't know why. I've never eaten lager or gyoza before, and your husband's words alone make me want to eat it too.

Apparently, the appeal of dumplings and lager was understood by Mizella, who swallowed her spit with a gulp.

Hopefully, she'll find a lager that will go with her dumplings!

I'll buy it by the barrel, by the barrel!

'Phew! Let's cook and eat together!

You look like a child. I do. Of course. You'll tell me what to do then.

Of course!

There's also a cheese and shrimp variant, or a wing dumpling made with chicken wings.

I'm sure White will probably stuff too much meat into them and they won't be able to be wrapped.

Wouldn't it be more fun if we all cooked them together on the spot?

Okay. Then we'll need something like a hot plate.

As soon as we decide to do that, we'll get right to it.

Are you making something else?

Yeah. I thought I'd like a small plate of okonomiyaki from the orphanage.

'You make what you want. ...Can I watch you for a study?

Of course. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me right away.

Yes. It's nice to meet you.

I was making hot oil, but I was also able to do something that was very much like a teacher and disciple.
