Chapter 308: 308 Bear-san Encounters the Long-Awaited Curry.

308 Bear-san Encounters the Long-Awaited Curry.

I entered the dining room with Karina.

[Yuna-san, please sit here.] Karina

Sitting as I was told, Karina happily sits next to me.

As soon as we sit in the chair, the door opens then Balima-san and Ristil-san enters the dining room.

Also, there is a little boy holding Ristil-sans hand. Speaking of which, you did say that you have a 3-year-old son.

[Mother] Boyo

When the boy saw me, he hid behind Ristil-san.

He must have been surprised by the appearance of the Bear.

Bears are scary so it cant be helped.

[Fufu, its all right. Because its a cute bear. Yuna-chan, let me introduce you. This is my son Norris. Cmon, say h.e.l.lo.] Ristil

Risti-san pushes the boys back in front of herself.

[Norris.] Norris (TN Chuck?)

After the boy says his name in a small voice, he becomes fl.u.s.tered and hides behind Ristil-san.

[Um, Im Yuna. Nice to meet you, too.] Yuna

I introduced myself, but Norris just poked his face from behind her.

[Im sorry this boy is a little shy.] Ristil

Ristil-san takes Norris to his seat.

Bears have a big heart so dont worry. (TN: only for lolis and probably shotas.)

I call it indifference.

[Karina seems to be in a good mood, did something good happened I wonder.] Ristil

Seeing Karina sitting next to me, Ristil-san asks.

Maybe it was because Karinas expression was so bright. Thanks to her playing with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, the childlike smile of Karina returned.

It seems that her stiff heart became a little soft.

[Yes, I got along with Yuna-sans Bears. They were so fluffy and comfy.] Karina

[Thats good then, thank you, Yuna-chan. Shes been gloomy ever since that incident.] Ristil

Ristil-san smiled and thanked me.

When I first met Karina, her expression was so dark like its the end of her world. It was a good idea to let her play with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, so that she would get distracted.

When everyone gets to their seats, Rasa-san carries the food on a trolley.

A certain smell drifts from Rasa-san.

Whats that smell?

Really?

No way, can I really find it here?

Rasa-san placed bread, salads and a bit of food in front of me. And she placed something similar to ochre-curry-like-soup on the plate.

At that moment, the nostalgic smell stimulates my nose.

Its been a long time since I smelled this scent.

This is definitely Curry.

I stared at the soup that smells like curry. The color and the smell this is definitely curry. Now if the taste is different, itll be enough to sue for fraud.

But there are no other ingredients in it.

It feels like its not a curry that I know of.

When Im investigating the

, Rasa-san speaks.

[Please put it on the bread and eat it.] Rasa

Teaching me how to eat curry, of all things.

After all the food has been distributed to everyone, Rasa-san sits in the corner of the table. Apparently the houses servant Rasa-san, also eats with them.

[Well then, Yuna-san, was it not to your palate?] Balima

No, I want to eat it as soon as possible.

Let me eat now.

In Balima-sans words, everyone starts eating bread dipped in what appears to be curry. Imitating everyone, I grabbed the bread, then dunked the bread on what seems to be curry and ate it. The spicy and nostalgic taste explodes in my mouth.

This is definitely Curry.

No way, I never thought I would find it here.

[Yuna-san, whats wrong?] Karina

Karina asks, while Im being immersed in the excitement of encountering curry.

[Karina, what is this?] Yuna

[Its called curry. Did you not like it?] Karina

[Its delicious.] Yuna

[Thats good. It is very delicious.] Karina

Karina also eats bread with curry, shes making it looks delicious. I continue eating curry on bread. It was delicious.

With this, I can make curry pan, curry udon and curry rice.

Everything looks delicious.

[Karina, do you know how to make this?] Yuna

[Um, the curry?] Karina

[Yeah, if you know the ingredients, Id like to go buy some.] Yuna

Spices are sold because they are also used for cooking.

However, curry powder is made by mixing various spices.

I have it in my knowledge, but that doesnt mean that I can make curry from spices.

So, if youre selling curry powder, I would like to buy some.

[Um, Im sorry. Rasa!] Karina

Karina is panicking a little, she calls out to Rasa-san for help.

Rasa-san moved away from her seat.

[What do you need, Karina-sama?] Rasa

[Yuna-san wants to know how make curry.] Karina

[Curry is it?] Rasa

[I would like to know the ingredients, are there other good spices? Where are they selling it?] Yuna

[Well, we do sell spices, but to make this curry, we mix various spices, so they are not being sold to shops.] Rasa

Its not being sold.

No way

You cannot buy it

.But you can make it.

[Can you tell me which spices to use?] Yuna

[Because this spice is an important recipe taught by my mother.] Rasa

An important recipe from her mom.

Then maybe

[Im sorry to hear that.] Yuna

[Oh, Im sorry, dont get me wrong. My mother is still alive.] Rasa

[Alive?] Yuna

This is confusing.

I thought she was dead.

[Yes, shes fine. I decided to work for this mansion and then she taught me the recipe as a congratulatory gift. My mother made this curry when there was a celebration in my house.] Rasa

Though I understand that the recipe was important for Rasa-san, but

[Let me tell you a story, this recipe is] Rasa

There is a way to ask Balima-san for the reward of a request, but this is sneaky, it takes advantage of the weakness of the person and he becomes the least human.

There is no other way

Money?

As a person, that would be no good.

You cant buy peoples important things with money.

.Its no use.

I cant think of anything.

But I want to know.

Yet I dont want to force her.

Here, depending on whether I can get a curry powder recipe, my life in another world will change.

Uuuuuuuuuuu, what should I do!?

[I know Rasa takes good care of this recipe, but cant you tell Yuna-san?] Karina

While Im having a conflict in my heart, Karina sent me a rescue boat.

[Karina-sama..] Rasa

[Um, can I please?] Yuna

I have no idea what I could do to make Rasa-san agree, so Ill just ask.

Rasa-san looks at Karina and me alternately. Then, she sigh a little.

[I understand.] Rasa

[Are you sure?] Yuna

Somehow, I asked Karina to ask Rasa-san and she was forced to teach me.

[Yes, However, there are conditions.] Rasa

[Conditions?] Yuna

[In exchange for teaching you the recipe, I would like you to teach me a recipe for a dish that I dont know. Id like to offer new dishes to Karina-sama.] Rasa

[Dishes that Rasa-san doesnt know] Yuna

Certainly, it is a more sensible idea to exchange for a recipe than money.

But a recipe? Hmmmm.

[Yes, please show me a delicious dish.] Rasa

[Isnt that difficult? Rasa is studying cooking in many ways.] Karina

[Yes, thats an important recipe after all.] Rasa

Karina told me about Rasa-sans diligence in cooking. It seems unlikely that Rasa-san herself will teach easily. But, conversely, if I teach a cooking recipe that convinces Rasa-san, she will tell me the curry spice recipe.

But studying cooking doesnt mean you cant use ordinary ingredients.

I have the knowledge of earth in my hand. There are many recipes that Karina doesnt know.

However, there are many cases where it cannot be made due to problems with materials or equipment. Even though I have the knowledge of making curry, I cannot make curry without the spices.

First of all, I do not know the type and name of the spices here.

The problem is what food to teach.

Something that Rasa-san, who is studying cooking, doesnt know and it needs to be delicious.

With that, the choices became limited.

Currently, I can make pizza, pudding, or cake.

There is a problem with the material, but it is likely to be an equivalent exchange as the most traded.

[Can I use sweets?] Yuna

[Yes, it doesnt matter.] Rasa

[Well, can I have you eat it after the meal?] Yuna

[Um, are you going to make it now?] Rasa

I shake my head.

[I have something ready, and Ill give it to you after your meal. If Rasa-san doesnt know the food and if its delicious, please teach me the curry recipe.] Yuna

[Yes, I understand.] Rasa

She made a firm promise.

Everyone here is a witness.

[Does Yuna-san knows how to cook?] Karina

[Yeah, I made it myself.] Yuna

I often eat Morin-sans bread and Anzus dishes, but sometimes I make and eat my own food.

I often cook my own dishes, especially rice.

I also make sweets for Fina and the others.

However, since it is troublesome to make it, I only make a small number of batches every time.

[Yuna-san is a strange person. She looks like a Bear, a strong adventurer and can also cook. I cant do anything.] Karina

[Well then, if my food judged by Rasa-san pa.s.sed, why dont we make it together tomorrow?] Yuna

[Are you sure?] Karina

[If I get a pa.s.sing mark, Ill have to teach it to Rasa-san.] Yuna

I thought it was going to be just a city exploration, but it turns out Ill be getting a curry recipe.

Exploration can be done even after the request is over. There is only curry for now.

Rasa-sans feelings may change.

Then I resume eating curry on bread.

It was delicious.

I have to get it.

After enjoying the curry, I put a pudding and a spoon in front of everyone.

Curry spice recipes and pudding recipes should be equivalent in value.

However, value rises endlessly according to peoples wishes. Pudding is worth it, but it doesnt really matter to me.

However, Rasa-sans curry spice recipe was a familys pa.s.sion.

All I have to do is let Rasa-san understands it.

[Oh, is it okay for us as well?] Balima

[Yes, please try it too. If it tastes good, please help me persuade Rasa-san.] Yuna

[Well, okay sure. Ill make a fair decision.] Balima

[Rasa-san, have you seen this food?] Yuna

[I havent, this is my first time seeing it.] Rasa

Well, of course. If you have seen it before, Ill be in trouble.

[This isBalima

But Balima-san responds while examining the pudding.

Are

~ Did you perhaps know what that is?

[Oh right! From the time of Follout-samas birthday celebration!] Balima

Oh, Balima-san. Did you perhaps attended the Kings birthday party?

[Dear do you know what this is?] Ristil

[Oh, its a dish that was served during Follout-samas birthday celbration. It was very tasty, it made quite the commotion.] Balima

Rasa-san made a surprised expression when she learned that this dish made its appearance at the Kings birthday party.

[Why do you have this, Yuna-san?] Balima

Hmm, what should I do?

[I want you to keep this secret, I was the one who made it.] Yuna

[I think I understand why Follout-sama hid the information.] Balima

Balima-san looks at me and the pudding alternately.

[Yuna-san, have you ever cooked for the King?] Karina

[A few times. Well, what are you waiting for, please try it.] Yuna

It is difficult to explain my relations.h.i.+p with the King, so I urge them to eat the pudding to dodge the topic.

[Mother, this is delicious.] Norris

Norris, who ate the pudding before anyone else, answers with a full smile.

Then the others started eating as well.

[It is so delicious.] Karina

[

Ara

, Dear you ate such a delicious thing before?] Ristil

[Its a dish that was served at the birthday celebration of Follout-sama.] Balima

[It is really delicious!] Rasa

Popular words came out from Rasa-san.

[Ill teach you this recipe.] Yuna

[Are you sure? This is a dish that was served at the castle of El Fancia Kingdom, isnt it? Moreover, Follout-samas said

.] Balima

[Well, because Im the one who made it, I am free to teach it to anyone. Besides Rasa-san wont teach it to anyone that easily.] Yuna

[Yes, of course I will not do such a thing. Im just happy if Karina-sama is eating delicious food.] Rasa

At that moment, the recipe trade off was completed.

I thank Rasa-san.

Authors Note:

Now she can make curry rice, curry bread and curry udon.

I will explain how to get pudding ingredients next time.
