Chapter 102: Titti and Kitchen Knife
Chapter 102: Titti and Kitchen Knife
The surface area around the dungeon looked like an ancient tomb made up of megaliths.
The entrance was sealed with logs of Luganda Cypress, and I didn’t observe any damage on the seal they made.
It doesn’t seem likely that the monsters inside were attempting to come out.
[I’ll cast Barrier Magic around just in case. Titti, assist me.]
[………………]
Titti didn’t answer her, but she did help out in setting up the double barriers.
This is a barrier set up by two talented witches, so it shouldn’t be easy to break.
[This should do. We’ll do a full-scale investigation starting tomorrow.]
[That’s right. Let’s just take some rest today. Good work, everyone!]
Merle, who had come along, sighed.
[Haahhh…… Another night in a tent huh…… I’m not gonna ask for extravagant stuff like a soft bed and feather bedding, but I’d at least like to sleep inside a house.]
Mira’s partner, Mira, agrees with her words.
[You’re right. We don’t feel fatigued thanks to the dagashis Yahagi-san was giving us, but I’m mentally tired. It’s about time we get some rest.]
It wasn’t just Merle and Mira who felt that way, as Regal and Marco also looked tired.
[Now, now, don’t be so downhearted. Baron Essel is going to send a group of carpenters to us in the near future. Everyone can have a house of their own.]
For building materials, they would use the many piles of Luganda Cypress that had been cut during the winter.
Luganda Cypress is famous for its high quality.
[I guess so, that’s why we came here after all.]
Merle nodded vigorously.
[Yes. I have to dive into the dungeon to earn enough money to pay the carpenter. I’ve always dreamed of having a house with a garden!]
Mira has also regained her usual positivity.
For the girls’ sake, I have to properly develop Luganda.
With renewed spirits, we returned to the hilltop where everyone was waiting.
Back on top of the hill, I put up my three-story shop.
[Ohh, the Lord has his manor already!?]
Nakaram-san looked surprised.
I didn’t mean to surprise him, but it’s such a hassle to go through all the trouble of building a lord’s mansion, so I feel like setting this shop up would be a good idea.
The 1st floor is the shopfront, the 2nd floor is the storehouse, and the 3rd floor is a living space, which is very convenient.
It may be a little eccentric as a manor, but this settles the issue of Luganda Lord’s mansion.
[Well then, we’ll start distributing the food. Help me get the supplies from the second floor!]
Giving out five days worth of it to everyone, we disbanded for the day.
At night, we decided to use the store’s griddle to make yakisoba.
We also invited Titti and Team Harukaze, who had helped us in sealing the dungeon.
[Whoa, probably because of my last level-up, I can now make monjayaki!]
Product name: Monjayaki
Description: A simple composition of cabbage, flour and dashi. Customers prepare it themselves. Customers can also mix in other ingredients such as dagashis! Eating it will reduce fatigue and increase endurance.
Price: 200 rims
I found the ingredients for monjayaki in the fridge.
[Yuusuke, what’s monjayaki?]
Michelle asked, curious.
[It’s a dish made with cabbage and flour. Well, I’ve actually never had it myself.]
I think that monjayaki, even in the Kanto region, is a food that is very regionally related.
At least, there weren’t any sold where I lived.
[However, I’ve seen videos of how it’s made, so I somewhat know how to make it. I’ll get the floor ready, so can you chop the cabbages, Michelle?]
[Alright. Titti, assist me.]
[Why me!?]
[You don’t usually cook at all, right? Things are going to be difficult for you if you stay like that. We don’t have restaurants here.]
[M- Marco’s cooking for me.]
[Marco will be busy exploring the dungeon. You can’t just rely on him to cook for you, you know?]
[A- Alright already……]
At Michelle’s urging, Titti reluctantly picked up a knife.
[That certainly doesn’t suit her at all……
The nearby Regal blurted out.
I see you’ve become a bit more foul-mouthed as you’ve grown.
[Titti-sama’s cooking……]
In contrast to Regal and his insults, Marco was staring at Titti with a look of admiration in his eyes.
[Well then, I’ll show you how to cook by example, so try imitating me.]
Michelle taught Titti how to cut cabbages, but the result was terrible.
[Kyah! My finger is bleeding! This is a cursed weapon! You d*mned murderer!]
[You’re just clumsy……]
It was like an endless loop of her finger being cut by the knife, Recovery Magic, getting her finger cut by the knife again, Recovery Magic, and so on.
However, Titti’s Recovery Magic is proving itself to be very useful.
From now on, I will have her do her best as the Witch of Luganda.
It turned out to be a clamorous monjayaki dinner, but the monjayaki tasted very good.
I cooked it with Baby Moon Ramen and it was delicious in its own way.
Product name: Baby Moon Ramen
Description: Fried noodle-style snacks. Chicken and cod roe flavors are available. When you eat it, your movements become sharper.
Price: 30 rims
I think these are delicious when eaten with a lot of people.
To celebrate our arrival, we brought out beer from the storehouse and drank it together with everyone, then made yakisoba and other dishes.
