Mantis Shrimp

"Serai-san, first of all, we need to do something about your outfit. We're planning to deep-fry the shrimp, and you probably wouldn't want oil splattering on your clothes, right?"

Serai-san is currently dressed quite casually in a jacket and jeans, but it's a stylish casual, so she'd probably be upset if her outfit got stained from oil splatter.

"Oh, I see So, master, can you lend me some clothes?"

Ah, that's the usual Serai-san.

Sure, why not? I brought out my winter clothes from back when I was slimmer during the seasonal change. I can't fit into them anymore, and if a cute college girl with a big bust wears them, it's a fitting tribute to the clothes I used to wear when I was thinner. Back then, I had no interest in women at all (Sigh, looking far away.)

"(Rustling rustling) How does it look?"

"Well, it's a bit big, but it doesn't look bad, does it?"

I pointed to the storage case with winter clothing and said, [Well, just pick whatever you like]. From there, Serai-san chose a long-sleeved sweater.

"Hmm, I see. Master really has long arms and legs, huh? (Flick, flick)"

Yeah, Serai-san's shoulders are peeking out. There were turtlenecks in there, right? Plus, if you keep flicking the extra sleeve like that, you won't be able to cook. Annoying. Despite giving off a bit of a silly vibe, cute girls look cute in any outfit.

Anyway, let's refocus and give some instructions.

"All right, after changing, wash your hands, and then start cutting the vegetables on the table."

"Serai-san, I'm almost done with the vegetable cutting!"

"Okay, then. I'll heat up the oil. Could you keep an eye on it? I'll prepare the shrimp (Rustling)."

"(Bzzz Plop, plop)"

In the mobile unit bath I had moved, a pump connected with an extension cord supplies oxygen to the water in the bathtub. I used to use this when I had fish in an aquarium long ago, but I kept the pump because it might be necessary for "fishing" one day. Seeing it in action again after several years feels a bit nostalgic. That's all thanks to my frugal nature.

"(Plop, plop, plop Splish! Splash!)"

The mantis shrimp in the bathtub have expelled mud and waste for a full day and night, so it should be enough. I'm tempted to make them expel more waste, but leaving them hungry for too long will make them start cannibalizing. It's about the right time.

"(Splish! Splash!) Oh, they're still very lively"

I scoop up the mantis shrimp from the bathtub with a gold sieve, and they are surprisingly lively, which makes me happy.

"All right, let's quickly drain the excess water. Superfine vibration blast! (Brilluuushhh!)"

Let me explain. I can use my self-invented super fine Vibration Blast for draining water. However, be careful not to use it too vigorously, as it can crush the shrimp's flesh.

"Master, the oil is ready!"

Oh, right. Then let's start frying, shall we?

Delicious and crispy.
