CH 76

When I returned from the kitchen with Shizuku-chan, everyone was already ready, waiting impatiently for dinner.

This log was cut from the forest of monsters by everyone in the morning, and it will be the materials for making the partitions and dressing rooms.

Logs cannot be used as raw wood.

It takes a long time to dry, and it’s hard to process logs into lumber.

However, Ryleigh-kun’s skill [Flame Magic] dried it nicely, and Hurst-san cut it out nicely with the skill [Grind].

Amazing. If you have these two people, you can also do architecture.

So,

“Ladies and gentlemen, do you have a plate and an egg at hand?”

“Yes!”

“Let’s do it!”

I decided to have everyone in the first group, led by Garez-san, eat the first five servings.

When you crack an egg in the middle of the pasta, it’s just the right soft-boiled egg.

Zezgard-san seems to have kept a watchful eye on the eggs.

There should be a thick yolk hidden in the plump white.

“Oh! Today’s meal looks really good!”

“Yummy!”

“What’s this!”

“I’ve eaten these noodles before! You eat them with minced meat sauce, right?”

“Isarai-sama! I want you to tell me what this dish is!”

Since there is no table, everyone has a plate in their left hand and a fork in their right hand.

Everyone with sparkling eyes speaks to me one after another.

I smiled back at it.

“This is carbonara.”

“Carbonara”

“It’s a cream sauce noodle, but it’s topped with soft boiled egg and shredded cheese, so please mix it and eat it.”

“Oh! I know! Isarai-sama’s cooking is surprising and fun!”

Garez-san gives a thumbs-up to my explanation with his left hand holding a fork.

So I gave a thumbs up as well.

“The degree of mixing is up to each person’s preference. Feel free to do so.”

“”Freely!””

“Then, go ahead while it’s still hot.”

“Yes!”

Everyone in the first group cheers at my voice as a signal.

Then they put the carbonara in their mouths.

“Delicious!”

“I’ve never eaten such delicious noodles!”

“If you break the egg and mix it well, it will be thick and delicious!”

“Today I was really surprised!”

“It’s fun!”

While eating like crazy, everyone shared their impressions and showed each other how to eat it.

I’m really happy to see them having so much fun.

That’s why, when I unintentionally got stuck, Garez-san was staring at me. . .

“I want to keep eating Isarai-sama’s food. . .”

Everyone raised their voices in unison with the words that spilled out.

“Me too!”

“Me too!”

“Me too!”

“Me too!!!”

Excited ‘Me too’ sounded.

“Vice-commander! What’s going on!”

“Are you doing it properly!!”

“Press!”

“Keep pushing!”

“Hold tight and don’t let go!”

Unusual heat.

However, a sudden gust of wind erased it.

Hmm. . . a wind or a storm?

“Shut up.”

Yes. This is the north pole. Polar bear habitat.

“Vice-Commander, wait a minute!”

“I’m eating now! I’m eating!”

“If we get hit by a log, we’ll die!”

Yes. Hurst-san. You lifted and threw the log that was used as a bench.

That’s amazing. A log flies at the speed of an arrow. It’s like seeing new laws of physics.

Well, group 2-E and Hasuhachi sensei are still good friends today.

“Vice-Commander, he’s irritated because he hasn’t eaten. . .!”

“That’s it! Isarai-sama! Hurry! Please make it quickly!”

“Isarai-sama! Don’t smile!”

“Only Isarai-sama’s food can save us!”

“I’m begging you!”

A call for help from everyone in the first group to me who was relaxing.

Huh, me?

“Shina-san. I’m hungry too.”

“Ah, Ryleigh-kun. That’s right.”

“Um. . . Shina-san. At this rate, I think he’ll be able to throw all the logs. . .”

“That’s right, yeah. Okay, then, Shizuku-chan, let’s go.”

Hold Shizuku-chan’s hand.

Put my heart into it.

“[Summon Kitchen]!”

I went to the kitchen, did the same work with Shizuku-chan, and made carbonara for six people for the second time.

When I got back, there were logs stabbed everywhere, but no one was dead. Good.

“Thank you for waiting. Then, Hurst-san and Ryleigh-kun, please.”

“It looks delicious.”

“Yeah, really! And what a wonder this egg is.”

“This is called a hot spring egg, and if you cook it a just the right temperature, it will become plump like this. Zezgard-san made them for me.”

“Hey! Zez-san.”

“. . .I just watched it.”

Zezgard-san, who has been glaring at me for a while, threw the answer out.

He seems to be trying not to miss my every move.

Yeah. . .because you know I’m going to Gyabussh now. . .

“Shizuku-chan, please eat it too. Mix it well while it’s warm.”

“Yes.”

“Hurst-san, Ryleigh-kun, and Zezgard-san, please take care while it’s still warm. . . . .I have something to tell Gyabussh.”

“Then, I’ll take that for you.”

With determined eyes, Hurst-san took care of the plate that was on the tray for me.

So, I took only one portion for Gyabussh and took a deep breath.

And then, I went towards Gyabussh. . .

“. . . Gyabussh. Do you know what this is?”

“Shasha?”

Even with my determined gaze, Gyabussh gives me a soft, cute look.

That’s why the feelings that should have been decided waver. . .

But after biting my lips tightly, I gently offered the carbonara.

“This is. . . the egg I just soaked in the hot spring. Gyabussh asked me to warm the egg, but I feel like eating the egg. . .”

“Shah?”

The truth.

Say it.

“. . . I can’t lay eggs.”

I’m viviparous.

“. . . Damn it.”

I can hear Zezgard-san’s frustrated voice behind me.

My chest ached too.

But Gyabussh’s golden eyes were looking at me sweetly. . .

“Shashah? Gao.”

“. . .Do you want to mix it?”

“Gao!”

I don’t understand the language of Gyabussh.

But for some reason, I felt like Gyabussh was saying to mix the carbonara.

So break the egg and mix well.

The yolk that flows out from between the whites shines, turning the white sauce into yellow in an instant.

If you mix it well, the warm pasta will be entwined with the eggs and shredded cheese, and the sauce will be thick.

“Gyabussh, I mixed it.”

“Ngao.”

Gyabush narrowed his eyes happily and took a bite of the carbonara. . .

“Ngaah!”

. . . ‘Delicioussssss!’ it sounds like.

“Gyabussh. . . aren’t you disappointed?”

“Gaongao. Gaonga.”

“I boiled the eggs in front of you and made them into food, didn’t I?”

“Gao. Gaoga Gaogaga.”

Gyabussh, who eats the food and shines brightly, just says that back to me.

The squeaky eyes are cute as ever.

But it’s only vague what you’re telling me.

‘It’s okay,’ he said.

I know it feels that way, but. . .

“. . .Hey, you”

While I was staring at Gyabussh, Zezgard-san, who entrusted his plate to Ryleigh-kun, walked over to us.

His eyes were already wet. . .

“Only those who have the skill [Dragon Knight] can understand the language of dragons. That’s our bond. . . That’s why I’ve changed Gyabussh’s words to mine until now.”

Zezgard-san looks at me while crying.

“But right now, Gyabussh has something he really wants to say to you. So what I’m going to talk say is Gyabussh’s exact words.”

Zezgard-san stood next to Gyabussh.

It was out of sight of me and Gyabussh and out of the way.

It looks like he’s going to translate. . .

“Listen.”

When Zezgard’s said so, he muttered in a voice that eliminated his emotions as much as possible.

“I have something to say to you.”

. . .That’s what Gyabussh wants to say.

Zezgard-san continued his words after the gao-gao cry.

“From the first time I met you, I knew that you couldn’t lay eggs.”

“Gyabussh. . .”

“You and I are from different races. . . Is there something wrong with that?”

When I look up, there are gentle golden eyes.

Those eyes that envelop everything.

“You, who work hard like this, think of me. I think that makes me very happy. I love you. I’ll be happy if you laugh for me.”

Those eyes gently narrowed. . .

“Isn’t love like that?”

Ah, ah, ah, ah . . .

“”Gyabussh!!!””

“Wooooooo!!”

Zezgard-san, who was supposed to have been the interpreter up until now, was overwhelmed with emotion when he said that, and hugged Gyabussh.

At the same time, I was deeply moved and hugged Gyabussh.

Furthermore, all the members seemed to have heard the story and hugged Gyabussh.

“Senpai!”

“So cool!”

“Manly!”

“It’ll make you cry!”

“Hold tight and don’t let go!”

It seems that everyone has finished eating, and their bodies are shining.

A dragon embraced by the shining members.

“Ugh!”

“Tail!”

“The tail is here!!”

The mysterious spectacle ended with Gyabussh waving everyone off with his tail.

“Ngao?”

I am not shaken off, but gently embraced with his right hand.

Then Gyabussh tilted his head and urged me to look.

There is a plate of carbonara that Hurst-san and Ryleigh-kun have.

‘Come and eat.’

I agree. . . .! That’s what it is, Gyabussh. . .!!

“Then I’ll eat.”

“Gao.”

When I told Gyabussh, the body that was being held was gently lowered to the ground.

Gyabussh nodded approvingly.

“Gyabussh. . . Gyabussh. . .”

Zezgard-san didn’t seem to be shaken off either, and he’s just crying.

It seems Zezgard-san was also urged by Gyabussh.

I received my plate from Hurst-san and Zezgard-san from Ryleigh-kun.

Shizuku-chan also seemed to have been waiting without eating, so when I sat down next to her, she said that we would eat together.

And then everyone started eating. . .

“Delicious.”

“Very delicious!”

“Damn. . . Damn. . . why is it always. . . Damn. . . delicious.”

“It’s delicious.”

Everyone says ‘delicious’.

Hurst-san savored it while eating it, and Ryleigh-kun’s young leaf-colored eyes sparkled.

Zezgard-san cried while eating greedily, and Shizuku-chan was slowly chewing all the time.

“The ingredients are almost the same as the bread gratin that Shina-sama made the other day, but it has a different taste.”

“Yes. Last time, I used flour to thicken the milk, but this time I made it possible for each person to adjust the thickness with eggs. Ah, there’s garlic in it.”

“I see. When You break the egg, the yolk flows out, and the yellow color and the smell of garlic are very appetizing.”

“Shina-san! I really like this milk sauce!”

“I’m glad. This sauce was made by Shizuku-chan.”

“Yes.”

Receiving my words, everyone’s gaze turned to Shizuku-chan.

Shizuku-chan opened her mouth timidly as she swallowed what was in her mouth.

“Um, I can’t do as well as Shina-san. . .”

“No way! It’s delicious!”

“Yes. The sweetness of the stir-fried onion and the saltiness of the bacon are very good.”

“Ah, it was Shizuku-chan who cut the onions and bacon. If we make it together, will it be five times more delicious?”

“. . . . A thousand times.”

Yes. It’s delicious!

“Shizuku-chan, it’s really delicious.”

“. . . .Yes.”

“I’ll be happy if everyone smiles at what I made.”

“Yes.”

Shizuku-chan is a little shy.

She took a deep breath to calm herself down.

“Speaking of which, did Shina-san want to talk to Gyabussh?”

Ah, Ryleigh-kun raises his voice and looks at me.

Hurst-san and Ryleigh-kun are busy and haven’t seen the process of making hot spring eggs, so they must have wondered.

So I’m going to tell them a short story.

“Yeah. Gyabussh told me, ‘Let’s warm it up together.’ . . . A hot spring is a nest? Zezgard-san told me what it was, and I thought I had to face him properly.”

I told him I was viviparous and told Gyabussh not to expect more from me.

But that was my assumption, and Gyabussh knew that and still wanted to be with me. . .

“I see. . .Gyabussh, I’m sure you’ve come to like Shina-san more.”

“Eh”

“There’s no problem with races. Gyabussh said Shina-san, who works hard, thinking about him makes him happy.”

“Ah.”

He said that.

I was going to tell Gyabussh that I can’t respond to his feelings, but Gyabussh was happy about that. . .

“I’m a little jealous of Gyabussh. . .”

I’m a little distant from my actions.

Goal not achieved? No, but. . .

“Then, Ryleigh-kun, who seemed to have finished eating, came over to my side, crouched down, and grabbed my left arm tightly.

Ryleigh-kun who is shining brightly.

The marshmallow cheeks are colored red.

And with an enraptured expression. . .

“Shina-san. . .”

This is bad. It’s coming.

That’s coming.

“You like to make love while being watched by everyone.”

Bad words.

I knew it! Shina didn’t succeed. Ryleigh really knows how to make anything sound dirty. I wonder if he knows what it sounds like before saying this stuff. I think he does. And Hurst-san should really take the advice of the members. He needs to be more proactive. Shina is too dense to understand his feelings unless he states them clearly.
