Since the supermarkets in Japan sell all sorts of fruits and vegetables all year long regardless of season, I never really thought that things were strange, but…
The vegetables that are growing in this field, aren’t they all ignoring the season and are ripe?
Or could it be that the vegetables in this world only look similar to the ones I know of, and they’re actually slightly different?
「Well, whatever. What’s important is that there are lots of delicious ready-to-eat vegetables here.」
Let’s see, lettuce, lettuce…
「Found some!」
I found some round-looking lettuce. I grabbed one that looked ready, and went to look for other vegetables I could use.
Are these daikons spicy? Or are they are the sweet kind? Can I made a salad with them?
Ah, but if I make salad, what would I dress it with? Do we have any dressing? …I don’t have the ingredients to make mayonnaise, and I would want some something like salad oil if I were to put dressing on it. Oh well, maybe next time. If this daikon is spicy, maybe I should boil it.
I grabbed some tomatoes as well, and climbed down the mountain.
Oh shoot, it’s a lot harder than I realize since I don’t have a basket or anything on my back.
By the time I finished climbing down the cliff, Rofas-san and Bryce-kun were done training.
I heard a voice come from the hut.
「Um, the rice, it’s really hot. If you don’t cool it down a bit first, your hands will get burned! First, wash your hands, then start forming the rice with wet hands.」
I heard Kirika-chan’s voice.
I peeked inside the hut, trying not to interrupt whoever was inside. Rofas-san was bent down while following Kirika-chan’s instructions, putting some rice onto a plate.
That’s right. We were all going to make yaki-onigiri today to see if the losing potions give effects.
「That’s no good, Rofas-san. You’ll crush the rice and it’ll get hard.」
Kirika-chan was a splendid teacher.
「Ah, you’re right, I can’t really see the rice grains anymore.」
He can’t see the rice grains? That means, he made a dango… But dangos taste good too.
「Uwah, there are a lot of rice grains stuck on my hand.」
「Kurtz-kun-oniichan, Kirika told you to wash your hands before forming the rice, no?」
「Ah, I forgot to!」
「Hey Bryce, yours looks pretty good.」
「No, I can’t make it into a triangle like Yuuri-san… What do I need to do to make it triangular?」
「Look, Kirika made one already!」
Fufufu, they look like they’re having a lot of fun.
I’ve never cooked together with my husband, since he thought that men shouldn’t enter the kitchen…
