42th Meal Men’s Dishes

(T.N. 男料理 Not quite sure what to translate this as. But it pretty much means the easy dishes that men can cook. Any better way of translating this?)

I, who was enjoying the party with everyone … fell asleep before I even noticed.

Impossible … … there are no memory of the party!

Yes.

If I fall asleep, I wouldn’t remember any of it! ? I know that! Gusun.

It seems that after hermit crab-kun had quietly left, Hulitia carried me to the tent.

To think that I would do something so poor.

“Ah, the sun is dazzling … …”

It is morning, so that complaint isn’t valid.

It seems that after I fell asleep last night, everyone enjoyed fireworks.

It isn’t the fireworks that I know of, but firework from magic tools.

Instead of fire, it uses magical power and beautiful lights would come out.

It is wonderful because it is a light attribute everyday magic, so it won’t cause any fires!

Moreover it is very cheap.

They sell for five large copper coins and the expensive ones are only one large silver coin.

The price is just right for children.

I was looking forward to it, but why did I fall asleep?

When I think about it … … yeah, I can only think of one reason.

“I made too many 「Soap Bubbles」…… god damn”

The cause is probably because I made too many 「Soap Bubbles」for training.

It takes a lot of magical power and the method of transportation is walking.

Without noticing, I’ve been gradually losing stamina.

And because I was high tension the entire time, I didn’t realize that I was reaching my limits.

It is the same logic as an infant reaching its limit and falls asleep.

Although I have high magical power, my stamina is less than those of a bug.

I was careless to not notice the amount of stamina I had left.

Fireworks …… I was looking forward to it. (Deep sorrows)

I wasn’t able to see it one night, but it isn’t time to panic yet.

Because, there is still tonight.

Yes, tonight I’ll …

“Tonight, I’ll do fireworks!” (Dark smile)

I clenched my fist and renewed my determination.

However, according to the surrounding ……

They can only see a rare beast that is closing its hand and trembling.

I would like to show regret to this opinion.

Because this is a pose that brings out the little coolness I have.

However, reality is ruthless, no one is able to understand that fact.

“……Fu, a solitary existence is something that no one will understand.”

“Gugu ~”

As if to show that it understands, my stomach growled to my statement.

Now that it is decided, let’s eat breakfast.

After eating, I’ll restore my magical power and stamina!

It was decided that everyone is suppose to prepare their own breakfast.

I put various things onto the iron plate and started to grill them.

The fragrant made my stomach more excited.

Ku! Calm down! The bad insects in my stomach!

I will let you eat plenty! (Small meal)

Breakfast is a crispy toast with a egg that is fried till the yolk is solid.

This is the classic breakfast of ordinary Philimichia families.

It is tasty like this … but I feel like something is missing.

Ok then, let’s modify it.

I’ll show it, the thing known as “Men’s dishes”!

First, fry the toast till it is crisp.

Then, put a large amount of butter on top of it and splash a lot of homemade fresh ketchup onto it.

I lightly fry some bacon that’s from Butch Rabi.

There are two pieces of bacon and each one of them is about 8mm.

Put the bacon onto the toast.

The butter is still in a lump, but that is a trivial thing.

“Men’s Dishes” doesn’t need fineness.

The onion is sliced thinly and a lot is put onto the bacon.

In this case, the onion wasn’t touched. It is raw.

Fuhahaha, be scared! ?

My tension is quickly rising.

It can’t be helped since cooking is fun.

Lastly is the fried egg!

The egg is fried till it is slightly solid and I lightly sprinkled some salt onto it.

It must only be slightly solid! The entire yolk can’t be solid!

It is a must! Absolutely! ? Fukyun! ? (In rare beast language “Do you understand! ?”)

“Completion! Perfect fried egg with toast! !”

It is easy to make and is delicious, so it is one of my favourite dishes.

It is a dish that can be make as long as you can use a kitchen knife.

The thickness of the ingredients doesn’t matter.

Anything is fine as it is suitable, even the look doesn’t matter.

The point is that it is fine as long as it goes into your mouth.

Fu~kyun~kyun~kyun! This is “Men’s dishes”! !

Well then … let’s eat!

“Itadakimasu~! Hamu! Jaku, jaku … gokun.” (T.N. Sound effect of eating.)

Delish~!

The crispy texture of the toast!

The sour taste of the homemade ketchup! If it wasn’t homemade, it wouldn’t have this taste!

And the richness of the butter that I added a large amount!

If I was stingy about the butter, I wouldn’t be able to taste it!

The thick juicy bacon!

There is a method of stacking thin slices on top of each other.

However, when it is thinly sliced, there is no sense of eating meat when compared to the thick slices.

Therefore, I recommend cutting the bacon into thick slices.

Oops! The meat juice is overflowing with a good feeling.

After all, lightly grilling the meat makes it active!

And there is the bitter pungent taste of the sliced onions.

It neutralizes the tedious taste of the ketchup and the oil of the bacon and … …

Kua~! ? It came in my nose!

Kuhahaha! It seems that I’ve made a mistake in the amount!

As expected of  “Men’s Dish”! It is severe while being delicious!

However, this is fine.

It is as if the sleepiness is beaten out of my head!

Fufu, do not forget about the existence of the fried egg!

The egg white is bland, so salt and pepper is enough.

When you reach part of the yolk, a small amount of yolk flows out from the middle.

This is my own style, being able to taste the solid yolk and the liquid yolk, a very advanced technique! (It’s not that much)

If this okay? A damn simple dish being this delicious! ?  

“Gatsu gatsu …… gungun, gakun!”

Because of the deliciousness, I ate the rest at once.

I drank the milk in one gulp, and my breakfast ended … not!

“Oooh… … what you just ate looks delicious! El, make one for me too!”

Rioto-kun, you again! ?

At least be able to make it yourself … …

Mu, that’s right! This is a “Men’s dish”!

Even the kitchen knife is only used to cut the onions.

The bacons are already sliced into thick strips, and if it is too long all you have to do is cut it.

Anyways, being easy to make is the point of “Men’s Dish”.

Since there is the opportunity, lets have Rioto make it.

Perhaps, he may even say something like “I’ve awoken to cooking” and is able to learn to cook.

“Rai, I’ll teach you how to make this … … this ‘Men’s Dish’!”

“M, Men’s Dish?”

Delicacy is unnecessary for “Men’s Dish”

There is also no need to worry about the order to make things in.

All that matters is the volume and taste, it doesn’t matter even if it looks bad.

Yes, there is a point in making “Men’s Dish.”

“Let’s make it first, everything starts from there. Well … let’s start.”

“O, Oooo!”

Whether he overwhelmed by my power, Rioto agreed falteringly.

Alright, first is cutting the onions.

While being scared, Rioto cut onion with a kitchen knife.

Even though they can handle weapons, for some reason, there are a lot of them that aren’t good with kitchen knives.

Rioto seems to also be one of them.

“Ah … it became tilted.”

The falling distorted piece of onion.

There was sadness in that figure.

“It’s fine!”

Next is frying the egg and grilling the toast.

Both of them are being done at the same time.

You can leave the toast alone to an extent, but it is important to look after the eggs.

If you don’t really care about it, it’s fine if you do it as you like.

But caring about the strange things is the creature known as a man.

Therefore, this part is being done properly.

“Wow, the yolk crumbled!”

To fail already.

Well, it can’t be helped.

Everyone experiences failure.

“Don’t mind!”

Now that it is like this, you need the mindset of “It’s fine as long as you eat it.”

You just have to do it carefully the next time.

While we were frying the egg, the toast burned.

“It’s, a little burnt …”

The lion beastkin with a sad look is staring at the burnt toast.

“It’s fine if you shave a little bit off. Don’t mind the failures.”

It is common thing.

It’s a waste, but if you shave off some of the burnt parts, it’s completely fine.

I lightly scraped off the burnt part with the back of a kitchen knife.

Next, lightly fry the bacon.

Juju* The sound and the fragrant entered out nose.

“Hey El … Can I eat it?”

“Don’t lose to the temptation, enduring it is the mission of a man.”

This is where we have to endure.

Do you want to eat a toast without bacon?

I understand that painful feeling … … (Eight losses)

Lastly, it is to combine everything.

First is the butter, then the ketchup.

“Apply butter to the toast, ketchup … … ah, it flew out!”

“Don’t mind it! It’s docking!!”

The toast is steadily finished with a shaky hand.

And finally, Rioto’s “Men’s Dishes” is finished.

“Complete! ‘Men’s dish,’ perfect fried egg toast! !”

The outer appearance is very bad.

But, this is a dish made by a man who failed many times without giving up.

Surely, this dish is accompanied by the “taste of effort.”

“Well, let’s try to eat it.”

Rioto ate the “Men’s Dish” that he made himself.

A smile appeared on his face as he was chewing.

“Ee…… Surprisingly, I may have a sense of cooking?”

Rioto laughed with a “nika”, and gobbled on the toast.

(T.N. The featured image is pretty much how it looks like. Can’t figure out how to put an image here as copy and paste didn’t work. Anyone know how?)

Apparently it was delicious.

That’s right, things you made after difficulties are delicious.

No matter how easy something is, it will always be hard at first.

However, if you get used to it, you will be able to do it!

Let’s master “Men’s Dish” together!

“But … I think El’s cuisines are better!”

Rioto said that with ketchup around his mouth and a wonderful smile.

Apparently, it didn’t go the way I wanted.

Ah, the sky is blue.

There is the cloudless blue sky that is looking at me and laughing.

It is likely that today … will be a fine day.
