CHAPTER 195: OUTDOOR RICE COOKING

There was a large griddle in the outdoor kitchen .

Next to it was a cutting table where Sakura had left some vegetables .

「Sakura~, we’ll be preparing fish…do you think a filet is good?」
「Ah, yes . But, this is Master’s vacation time…is this alright?」
「Well, it’s this kind of place . I’ll help out too . I’d like to handle the things that I caught . 」

Leaving aside the seasoning, even I could cut up ingredients .

From time to time I should do some work .

「Well then please do . I’ll be preparing the meat and vegetables that Dianeia arranged for us . 」


「Good . I’ll be readying my fish and giving them to you . 」

I said and lined up the fish on the chopping board,

「I’ll help as well~ Daichi-sama~」

Anne trotted over with a big smile .

I was wondering why her tension was so high when,

「………… . 」

I saw a limp Hesty captured inside her bosom .

Anne came over here after she caught Hesty it seems .

She looked at me with eyes that had given up so I didn’t speak up .

Be that as it may, I was happy that there was more people .

「Ok then, Anne take the fish out of the golem . They’re full of life so be careful . 」


「Roger that~」

I’d caught some dangerous fish, but as a Dragon King it would probably be fine .

I thought such things as I looked at the spirit fish on the chopping board .

The golden fish unexpectedly didn’t struggle much .

It had dangerous looking fangs and horns so I put in some effort to restrain it, but anyways I was able to safely handle it .

「Well… . . umm, when you put your effort in then nothing will escape . No matter how powerful or magical the fish is . 」
「Really? I’m not letting down my guard . 」

If there was an injury during cooking my tension would drop .
Safely preparing food was the priority .

「That’s right . Huh…so you can prepare fish?」
「Well, to some degree, yes . 」

However, I’d left such things to Sakura recently . It took me some time to remember my skills . I could easily filet some fish .

As I was thinking that…

「Somehow, I thought we’d be eating, the fresh fish, in its entirety, fresh . 」

Hesty said something strange .

「Entirety? ……bones and all?」
「n, that’s right?」

She nodded bluntly .

Well…I guess I understood .

This Dragon King was never concerned with food .

「… . . Anne…have Hesty’s eating habits always been like this?」

I asked and Anne awkwardly scratched her cheek .

「Umm, yes . Meat and fish…though she might cut and scorch it, she usually just eats it whole . 」

She said in a roundabout manner .

I didn’t think she’d do that for everything .

「Ahh…… . this is a good chance . Hesty if you’d like you can try cooking? Even so it’d just be cutting and tasting things . 」

I asked and Hesty timidly looked at my face .

「Is that, ok?」

It looks like it wasn’t that she didn’t have any interest .

「Of course . There’s not too many things I can teach you after all . Let’s do it together . 」
「n, I’ve wanted, to learn some cooking, too . It helps . ——thank you . 」
「You’re very welcome . 」

I taught Hesty how to handle a knife while preparing the fish .

And so we all continued to make our meal .
