CH 134

When I returned to the uninhabited island form the kitchen, it was already a campsite, just like the first day of my trip. As expected of our special forces.

“Everyone, are the bowls all handed out?”

“Yeah! Yes!”

“There may be fish bones, so please be careful.”

I was using a whole red sea bream, and it was difficult to separate, but Hurst-san helped me.

I removed the big bones, so each bowl contains fillets, clams, vegetables, and soup.

Everyone was holding a bowl and looking at me with excitement.

“Then please try it!”

“Yes!”

“Yeah!”

“yes”

With my voice as a signal, everyone starts eating.

The first person to put it in his mouth was Ryleigh-kun.

“Delicious! Shina-san, it’s really delicious!”

“That’s good.”

“This fish is so fluffy!”

“Yeah. It’s plump.”

Ryleigh-kun, who was sitting next to me, has bright, young leaf-colored eyes.

It makes me happy seeing him eating so deliciously that i smile too.

“It’s true! I can’t believe a magic fish can become such a delicious fish!”

“Next, Elja-san rounds his purple eyes.

And Hahaha! he laughed.

“After all, mermaid fishing is important! This can’t be locked up!”

“Of course. Shina doesn’t do anything. Stop saying things like that.”

Surprisingly, Zezgard-san was the first to deny Elja-san’s words.

“How cold! Did you hate the collar that much?”

“So don’t do that.”

Come to think of it, when I came to the Northern knights, Zezgard-san was with me by order of the country.

A collar to bring me back to the royal palace if something happens.

That was Zezgard-san.

“Shina, I’m not here as your collar. I told you didn’t I?”

‘Yes. . . The Wings of Freedom.”

“That’s right.”

Zezgard-san laughs at my words.

Then, he put a spoon in the bowl and put the acqua pazza in his mouth.

“This is also amazing! I can’t say anything in detail, but it’s amazing!”

“Shah!”

Listening to the exchange between me and Zezgard, Gyabussh raises his voice.

I laughed softly at that.

“That’s right. Gyabussh eat too!”

“Shina-san, I’ll keep something for Shina-san.”

“Thank you.”

I entrusted my portion to Shizuku-chan, and held Gyabussh’s portion.

When I hold it out to Gyabussh, Gyabussh eats it in one bite. . .

“Ngaah!”

Gyabussh’s ‘Delicious!’!

As usual, my heart becomes warm.

You did your best to carry everyone to the uninhabited island.

It was cute to Gyabussh narrow his golden eyes happily, and I caress his smooth scales.

“Shah”

Gyabussh gently pushes me with his nose.

He must be saying, ‘Go eat.’

Gyabussh always treats me with respect.

“Then let’s eat.”

“Shah”

After confirming that Gyabussh’s body is sparkling and the bowl is gone, I return to my seat.

From Shizuku-chan, I received my own bowl, now, me too!

“Good!”

Firstly, gently insert the spoon into the sea bream.

I took a bite of the plump meat and put a little bit of soup and paprika on it.

When I put it in my mouth. . .

“. . . . .Delicious!!”

The light taste of the white fish goes well with the savory shellfish soup!

It’s so delicious that you won’t believe it’s just seasoned with salt and pepper!

“Shina-san, it’s delicious!”

As Shizuku-chan matched my voice, she looked at me with a shining face.

Her black eyes narrowed happily, and her cheeks were slightly red.

Just by looking at her expression, I could tell that she thought it was really delicious.

“This herb is good too!”

“Yes. It’s Ash-san’s favorite grass.”

“Hahaha!”

Ash-san laughs loudly and eats deliciously.

And. . .

“. . . . . Delicious”

. . . Hurst-san’s delicious sign.

“The flesh of the fish is plump and very soft. I thought the bones were big and it would be good to be separated, but it’s not a big taste.”

“Yes. Red sea bream is not a fatty fish, but I think the cooked meat is very easy to eat and has a delicious taste.”

“The umami of shellfish and the umami of vegetables and mushrooms. The meat soaked in the soup. Is it alcohol that smells a little?”

“Oh, it has wine. It’s white wine.”

“The aroma is also slightly reduced, and the taste is integrated. . . . It is really very delicious.”

“. . . .I’m glad.”

Hurst-san’s light blue eyes narrowed gently.

Thanks to all of you, my warm heart has become warmer.

I want you to eat again.

I think so.

“Is this it? Should Mika use it like this?”

Looking at his shining light blue eyes, Mikariam-kun, who was skillfully sitting on a log, looked at Hurst-san and me and tilted his head.

It seems that it is the first time using a spoon, and it seems that he is trying to imitate it.

“Yeah. Mikariam-kun, you’ve got it. Hold the bowl in your left hand and the spoon in your right. Scoop it up and put it in your mouth.”

“Mika’s first time eating.”

“Ah, were you okay without eating until now?”

“Mika isn’t hungry. . . but I want to try this.”

“Then, do it like I explained.”

“Yes!”

Saying that, Mikariam-kun cautiously brought the spoon closer to the bowl.

The fact that he has been able to live without food must mean that Mikariam-kun is different from humans.

As I imagined, between a magic fish and a human. Gyabussh, who is between a magic beast and animals, may be the closest being.

“. . .it’s hot, so you should blow on it to cool it down.”

“Do you want me to take a breath?”

“Yeah. You can do it.”

“Oh, this is how you do it!”

Hurst-san called out to Mikariam-kun who scooped the soup and red sea bream with a spoon.

Certainly, if you put it in your mouth as it is, it seems like you’ll get a burn on your tongue.

Even if it’s hot, Gyabussh can eat it in one bite, but normally you can’t.

Ryleigh-kun, who heard Hurst-san’s words, actually showed it so that Mikariam-kun could understand.

Mikariam-kun followed suit and after blowing on it, he put it in his mouth.

The expression of Mikariam-kun who was uneasy about the act of eating for the first time. It changed in the blink of an eye. . .

“Delicious!!”

It shines brightly.

“Your mouth will be happy and your stomach will be warm!”

“I know! When I eat Shina-san’s food, I feel warm!”

“. . . Me too”

Ryleigh-kun and Shizuku-chan agree with Mikariam-kun’s words.

Mikariam-kun looked at those two and blinked his eyes.

“Delicious and warm?”

“Shina-san’s cooking was warm.”

“It’s not that every dish is like that, I think it’s because it’s Shina-san’s cooking.”

“I see. . . .”

Saying that, Mikariam-kun once again put the spoon into the bowl and scooped up the soup.

“Delicious!!”

It’s the second time, but it feels just as impressive as the first time.

“Ah! Shina-kun’s cooking is superb!”

“I’ve already eaten.”

“Nugao”

“This shellfish is also delicious!”

“Vegetables are also delicious.”

“Because Isarai Shina likes to eat!”

“Take it slow. Watch for bones.”

Everyone calls out to Mikariam-kun.

I could see that Mikariam-kun’s clear blue eyes wandered in a troubled way.

That’s why I smile softly at those eyes. . .

“Mikariam-kun. . . It’s delicious!”

When I said that with a smile, his blue eyes narrowed as if they were holding back.

“Mika. . .you heard me the whole time, right?”

“Yes.”

“Looks like fun, huh. . .”

“Yes.”

“Mika too. . .together. . .”

“Yes. With Mikariam-kun too.”

Mikariam-kun’s eyes filled with tears.

When I moved next to Mikariam-kun, I gently wiped his eyes.

“Mika. . . I have to do it myself. . .no, but. . .”

“It’s okay. I know you’re working hard, Mikariam-kun. It’s okay.”

I patted Mikariam-kun who was trying to pick up the handkerchief in a hurry.

“If you can, wipe it yourself. If you can’t, I’ll wipe it.”

So it’s okay.

“Shina. . . . . . Shina. . . . .”

“Yeah. Let’s eat slowly. I’ll eat too.”

“Yeah.”

Sometimes Mikariam-kun wipes it himself.

If he can’t do it well, I wipe it off.

By the time the two of us had finished eating, everyone had finished eating.

As usual, everyone’s body shines.

It seems that Mikariam-kun was the same. . .

What?

“For some reason, only Mikariam-kun’s lower half of the body is really shining!?”

He put his hands on the disappearing plate and said thank you, but it’s strange.

Mikariam-kun is the only one who shines differently than the others. . .!

“Shina”

“It’s okay! Probably!”

Mikariam-kun himself doesn’t seem to have anything particularly strange, he just tilts his head in wonder.

So, while uttering completely unreliable words, I wait for the light to subside for the time being.

Then. . .

“Shina-sama”

. . . .Hurst-san hugged me while I was sitting.

“Eh”

All of a sudden, I just open my mouth.

However, the hug was only for a moment, and soon Hurst-san released me.

“Um. . .?”

“I’m sorry. I knew the moment the light went out.”

“Ah, that’s fine, but. . .”

“It’s no problem to see Mikariam anymore.”

I don’t really understand, but it seems that he made it so that I can’t see Mikariam-kun.

But why shouldn’t I have seen Mikariam-kun?

I step out of Hurst-san’s shadow while wondering.

And then, I saw Mikariam-kun. . .

“Legs are growing”

He has legs.

“Eh. . . Tail fin. . .! Legs. . .!”

Mikariam-kun, the light has subsided.

Sitting on the log bench, his lower body must have been a tail fin until just now.

Now he has two legs, just like everyone else.

Hurst-san quickly sensed that and moved to block the sight from me and Shizuku-chan.

Right now, Mikariam-kun had a cloak wrapped around his waist, which was thought to have been handed to him by Hurst-san.

“No, wait. . .Hey, are you going to make me laugh again. . .!?”

At the edge of my vision, I could see Elja-san laughing.

I just stare blankly and Mikariam-kun.

Then Mikariam-kun stood up from the log, bounced once, and hugged me tightly.

“Mika! Yay! With this, I’ll be with you forever! I’ll be with you forever!”

“. . .I see?”

I see.

Eating food not only makes you stronger and more energetic, but it also grows legs.

. . . . . . . [Summon Kitchen] is amazing!

We have almost reached the end of this series. Only a few more chapters to go. I’m kind of sad.
