Eh? Already??

“I guess they haven’t returned from their investigation yet?”

Miria replied to my murmur while taking my baggage.

“If it’s about Kurogane-sama and Mashiro-sama, they are in the dismantling area in the back, dismantling the monsters they have killed.”

“Eh? They caught them!?”

I forgot to remind them that they didn’t have to hunt them, and just to investigate the situation.

I did especially tell them not to over hunt Orcs, but I was worried that the dismantling area would be filled with monsters.

I quickly changed into a dress and hurried to the dismantling area.

“Ah, Cristea! Welcome back.”

“Ohh, My Lord. We were waiting for you.”

When I went out of the doorway further inside the cafeteria into the courtyard where the newly installed dismantling area was located, it seemed that the dismantling had already been completed and they were putting the lids on the barrels filled with blood and offal.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t tell you that you only had to do some investigation today. So, what did you bring?”

“Umu, it’s mainly Bighorn Bulls and Golden Sheep that inhabit the nearby area.”

Bighorn Bull is a creature that is full of scraps and has very few parts that can be eaten.

The parts that can be eaten are rare and delicious, so they are sold at a high price.

However, as its name suggests, it has big horns and a rough temperament, so it is very difficult to kill.

And if you don’t have the skills to dismantle them, the edible parts are difficult to pick out without wasting useful materials.

But still, even if you bring it back whole in a big capacity magic bag without dismantling it, the cost of dismantling itself is worth it, so Bighorn Bulls are not considered a good value for money.

Therefore, when their numbers increase, a request is sent out to thin out the herds to a certain extent, making it an even rarer meat, and a rare meat that only appears on the tables of the nobility.

But, I’m the type of person who would prefer a chuck over those rare cuts.

Hmm, a Bighorn Bull, huh… if it’s the parts that you would normally throw away, they do sound like they could be cost-effective ingredients.

The Golden Sheep, on the other hand, is a relatively docile monster with beautiful golden wool.

Their wool is not only beautiful but also very warm, so there are many requests for their wool, before summer, so the clothes can be completed just in time for winter.

“… My Lord?”

Ah, as I thought. I recognized the meatiness of the carcass behind Kurogane. He also properly prepared chuck for me.

“Kurogane and I killed it instantly!”

“I, is that so… that’s amazing.”

“Ahem.”

The smugfaced Mashiro is adorable… although his remarks are dangerous.

“I wonder how Gyudon would do on the café’s menu?”

A fancy café turned fast-food restaurant in a blink of an eye.

But, since it’s made from chuck, there’s plenty of meat to go around, and it’s very filling…

Putting that aside, it would be possible to make it with more expensive cuts too, no?

“Yeah. I have decided! Let’s make a Gyudon from the Bighorn Bull chuck first. Both of you, help me out.”

“”Roger (Roger~) that.””

We started with the preparation of the chuck cut.

Byakko-sama who had just come to help cook dinner got also involved, and we worked hard to cook the Bighorn Bull.

The next day. The morning class was general education, and since I was excused, I headed to the café with Kurogane and Mashiro.

“Cristea-sama!? Is something the matter?”

The Head Chef, who had heard of my visit, came out in a hurry.

“I have come to propose a new menu item.”

When I answered smilingly, the Head Chef froze in place.

“Eh…? Right on the heels of yesterday!?”

The Head Chef opened his mouth and looked at me in disbelief.

… Huh? Was it a little too soon?
