Chapter 25: Curry and creamy soup with roasted mushrooms

It has finally came to go to the Calamity Dragon who lives on the foothill of the mountain.

It was a high mountain which showed a rough rocky mountain surface.

The guild has prepared for things like coach, foods and tools.

Originally, the adventurers prepared things like by themselves, but Silvy said “It’s a special case for Masatsugu-sama”.

I said that she shouldn’t give me preferential treatment but she asked me “What’s wrong with giving preferential treatment to special people?” and I couldn’t object back.

I see, it’s technically true.

Changing my position as a special person seems impossible.

I’m at a loss.

Also, Silvy is coming along with us.

I told her coming was unneeded but “I need to make sure of an legend and leave the person in books.” was what she said.

It seems she wants me to remain forever.

In anyway I was requesting her not to do it since it was embarrassing and she kept dodging it while smiling with a huge smile.

Sigh, even if I save the country it shouldn’t be that excellent. I do not think that saving this country is a moment to be left in history.

From my view this is like taking a dog to a walk. (TL note: ???)

Wandering and then just coming back home.

Besides, Silvy herself is a novice A-class adventurer. Her job is surprisingly an assassin. Because of that I allowed her to come with us. As expected of A-class there won’t be trouble that will need to disappear in the aftermath of my actions. She volunteered to be the coach driver which saved us by a lot.

“Savior-sama, sorry, Naomi-sama. I can see the entrance to the mountain road to the mountains. The army is making camp. According to the information their number is 1000. It’s composed of the elite knights and mercenaries and the heroes summoned from a different world. The summoned people are 4 and they are Ishijima, Sakai, Yoshihara and Fukano. Ishijima person apparently is the leader of the whole army.”

Ishijima… Ah, that genius group. The type I hate due to them being prideful just for being smart. Ishijima and Sakai are males, Yoshihara and Fukano are females. Normally on the outside they are nice, helping the other students and being loved by the teachers. It was a hierarchic group that was ignored by the bad group. But, I know. They were spreading malicious rumors against the people who were stupid. I also suffered from them. In the worst case the student would shut themselves home.

Thought, I cannot but help remember such things now. Also we are preparing to make camp.

We found a place a bit further than the stationed troops and began making the camp there.

Our bed was secured and I added fuel to the fire so that I can cook dinner.

By the way, the army still has no intent of fighting the Calamity Dragon yet.

The dragon lives deep in the mountains and it’s evening now so their plans are that they’ll departure at tomorrow’s morning.

We also intend to pass this night here.

Everyone is taking a share of the work.

In that moment Lucia and Silvy were talking when Silvy expressed surprise.

“Among everybody here, Naomi-sama is the most skilled one!?”

While saying that she looked at me with eyes of wonder.

“He’s not skilled at it, Silvy. He truly thinks just to make it delicious and it is!”

“I’m a princess and I’ve eaten all kinds of cooking, but Masatsugu-sama’s cooking is more delicious than any of those!”

“Shii has lived of thousands of years, but Masatsugu-san’s food is the most delicious~!”

Sigh, they are making it so grandiose.

Both of my parents were working so I was home alone a lot of times, so me doing cooking is natural. I was not particularly trying to learn it, I was only doing it in spare time, and it became top-class eventually.

Well, it’s not that big of a deal but it could’ve been talent aswell.

“It’s not such a thing to make a fuss about it.”

I was shaking my head.

“Yeah, only master is not aware of it.”

“That’s right. Even though it should just be a orphanage, it feels like I am eating imperial meals.”

“Masatsugu-san’s only flaw is that he undervalues himself too much.”

They were making objections.

Sigh, I am just normally making meals.

For unknown reason unconsciously the food becomes top-class taste.

I’m ashamed that a normal person like me can cook genuine food because of my talent.

But, thanks to it I can bring delicious food to the ill-fated orphanage girls and I won’t throw it away.

With that explanation I move forward.

“While we are at it, Master what are you going to make today?”

Lucia asked me

“Yeah, today will be…”

I will be lining the dishes one after another.

“First is curry and boiled creamy soup of roasted mushrooms and a bagel bread. After that is a dish of deer dangos simmered with wine syrup.”

“Waa” sounds were coming from the girls, I could understand that their eyes were glittering.

Fufufu, it’s not over yet girls.

“The main course is from here on. Next is, the curing of the deer meat with basil and wrapped with coriander leaves, this will be complemented with mashed potatoes and carrot sticks.”

As I served each meat dish with fragrant leaves, Silvy finally with the girls all let out surprised voices.

“Master, this is amazing! This looks totally delicious! *Shlurp*”

“Wait a bit, Lucia-chan your drool is coming out. Even a first-rate chef would have trouble cooking this with the tools that were brought here and this is not even a kitchen!?”

“It’s a really good smell, Shii is entering nirvana, nh, I cannot take it anymore, let’s start eating, let’s eat, Masatsugu-san!”

Sigh, such over exaggeration.

Anyone can do it with a little bit of talent.

“You girls are in your growth period. That’s why it looks even more delicious to you girls.”

But, the girls were different

“Ehm, Master, I think that this already surpassed all levels of cooking.”

“That’s right. Despite already being excellent in military and literary arts you are also excellent in cooking, you are truly perfect!”

“Lets eat~ Let’s eat~ Let’s eat~”

“I’m glad I came with Naomi-sama. This shall also be left in history. Not just military and wisdom but also he is God in making food.”

Sigh, it’s not that big of a deal. What do you mean by God? I’m not such a foolish being.

After this, I have a lot more dishes that I’m good at. I haven’t gotten serious just yet.

We started eating while talking to each other.

The moment they put the food in mouth, all of the girls went cheerfully with “Waaa.”

Lucia couldn’t hold it anymore and began eating greedily.

“I cannot stop! This is just too dewicious, Waster!”

Was what she said.

“Do not talk while eating!” is what I said, but she couldn’t hear me due to eating in a daze. Sigh, I might’ve made the food a bit too delicious.

“It’s really delicious, Masatsugu-sama. This curry and the mushrooms with syrup, they are just so delicious it’s making me go insane.”

“I-Is that so….?”

I answered taken back by the sheer pressure of Elin.

“Shii~ is~ elated~”

“Oi, you’re gonna enter Nirvana?”

To Shii who was becoming thinner, I called out to her.

“These deer dango’s are super delicious. The aroma of the wine is well simmered that even after eating, I still cannot get enough of it. Ehm, Naomi-sama could you tell me the recipe after?”

Sigh.

In either case, the children like Lucia who did not know they joy of eating, I’m a little bit filled with pleasure knowing that they ate till they were full.

Like that we spent our time eating.

But the peace passed quickly.

While we were relaxing, the knights came to invade us.
