It Seems The Production Skill Acquired In Another World Is The Strongest (LN) Book 2: Chapter 10

Chapter 10 We Cooked Together

Thus, we had a new companion on our journey.

Lily Luna Lunaria.

She was a priestess of the God of War religion and had the rare skill [God of Wars Shrine Maiden].

She had a serious and disciplined character. Considering that she was able to hold the Devil Treant at bay by herself, she must be quite capable as a priestess.

The sun was already high in the sky when I looked out the window by the ti we finished talking.

The wall clock in the living room showed that it was past twelve oclock.

Hey, Kou, shall we have lunch soon?

Yeah, youre right.

I nodded at Iriss words and opened my [Item Box] in my mind. There are a variety of dishes stocked in it, but now that we have a new companion nad Lily, I want to do sothing out of the ordinary.

Hmm

Yesterday, I got a lot of souvenirs from the ranch in Toue.

A block of Toue beef, homade cheese, butter, yogurt, fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as freshly baked bread, and much more.

With all these ingredients, I guess I can cook by myself.

There is a splendid kitchen in the rear of the carriage, and if I grab a knife or a pot, the [Dexterity] will provide with assistance.

The Lonely Wolfs apron, which I created with [Creation] from Lonely Wolfs materials, also hasCooking Skill Sattached to it, so I should be able to make more than just a few things.

Okay, lets give it a try.

The next mont I thought of that, to my surprise, [Full Assist] was automatically activated.

I propose the following as todays lunch nu.

Beef stewed with tomato sauce

Cheese olette

Banana yogurt

[Full Assist] is a skill that supports various aspects of my life in this other world, but it was indeed unexpected that it suggested a nu for a al.

While my eyes blinked in surprise, [Full Assist] installed the recipe for the al in my mind. This skill is handy.

Anyway, the nu for lunch was decided.

I get up from the sofa.

Ill cook lunch today. Is there any food you guys dont like?

Kou?

Iris sounded surprised but soon looked convinced.

Co to think of it, I rember in Aunen, you used to help out at a restaurant on a city quest. You were well known among adventurers. I heard that the food tastes so much better when Kou is in the kitchen.

I am honored to hear you say that. Well, Im going to make sothing.

Ill help you.

Ill help you, too.

Ill do my best too!

Apparently, everyone is fully motivated.

Since were going to this trouble, why dont we all make it together? Its kind of exciting, like camping at a forest school.

And so we all decided to cook together.

I created two more aprons with [Creation] and gave them to Iris and Lily. Since I have such useful items, It would be a loss if they dont use them.

Of course, Ill wear the aprons myself.

Next, I took out the ingredients and seasonings from the [Item Box] and placed them in the kitchen.

The main ingredient this ti is a block of Toue beef, and the part of the beef is the shoulder loin. It has a good amount of fat on it and looks very tasty.

Okay, lets do it.

When I picked up the at knife that was provided in the kitchen, the [Dexterity] was activated.

I move the knife along the muscle fibers of the beef and cut it into bite-size pieces. At the sa ti, I give instructions to everyone.

Surara, please peel the tomatoes. When youre done, stew them in the pot.

Yes! Its supposed to bring out the acidity and richness! Ill take care of it!

Surara said that, and then he lengthened his length to the size of the cooking table, which he could reach.

He picked up a knife and peeled the tomatoes. He is quite good at it.

As a Helper Sli, he must be good at cooking.

Iris, please cut the vegetables. First, the onions, please.

Roger that. Ugh, my eyes are watering.

Even as she said this, Iris picked up a knife and cut the onions into skewers one after another.

I see youre used to it.

Im not as good as Kou, but I can at least cook. Fufu

Iris puffed out her chest proudly. Her expression showed certain confidence.

When youre done with the onions, please prepare the garlic, carrots, and mushrooms too.

Leave it to . The apron made by Kou is very effective. My hands move more easily than usual.

Iris seed to be feeling the effects ofCooking Skill Sand was humming as she chopped vegetables smoothly.

This way, it seems that I can take my eyes off of her.

I then called out to Lily.

Can you wait a little? Well do it together when were done here.

Yes. Thank you for your guidance!

Lily bowed her head, stiff and nervous.

According to her, this was her first ti cooking. She said that all her previous als had been prepared by people from the church.

Perhaps she was treated specially by the church because of her special skills as a [God of Wars Shrine Maiden].

After I finished cutting the block of at, I washed my hands at the tap and headed for Lilys place.

Well then, lets get started. Shall we crack so eggs first?

I-Ill do my best!

Its not that hard. Just take it easy.

After I finished cutting the beef, I washed my hands and then took the egg. I smashed it against the corner of the table, cracked it, and broke it with both hands.

The fresh egg at falls into the silver bowl.

If you hit it too hard, it will shatter, so you should be careful there.

I-I understand!

Lily fearfully reaches for the egg and hits it against the corner of the table.

After a few repetitions, a small crack eventually appeared.

It cracks!

No, I think you should make the crack a little bigger.

Before I could say so, Lily held the egg in both hands and crack.

The egg cracked, but because of too much force, the shell shattered and went into the bowl.

TheCooking Skill Sis also granted to Lilys apron, but it seems that she cant follow through to the point where she has zero cooking experience.

I-Im sorry

Dont worry about it. Its like this for everyone at first. Dont be in a hurry to get used to it.

I used to cook for myself when I was a student, but when I was a beginner, I made a lot of mistakes.

After removing the shells from the bowl with a spoon, I told Lily.

Lets try it together. Hold the egg in one hand.

Like this?

Lily held the egg in her right hand.

I went behind Lily and lightly placed my right hand on her right hand, and knocked the egg against the corner of the table.

Looking at the egg, there was a reasonably large crack in it.

Thats about right for force.

Kou-san is very good at this

Anyone can do it once they get used to it. Lets crack it open then.

Yes!

There is a cracking sound, and the eggshell breaks in two. The contents fell into the bowl and shook delicately.

Its done!

Lily breathed a sigh of relief.

Well, next ti, try it on your own.

I understand!

Apparently, Lily had already gotten the hang of it, and although her movents were a bit awkward, she was able to crack eggs properly. TheCooking Skill Smust be having an effect.

I should get back to my work.

Two magic stoves are set up in the carriages kitchen, each at a distance from the other.

Surara is stewing tomatoes on one, so I decide to use the other.

I take a frying pan out of the cupboard, put in the cut shoulder loin and the garlic that Iris had cut, and turn on the magic stove.

The shoulder loin oozes fat and begins to crackle in the heat of the frying pan. Soon, the delicious aroma of garlic wafts through the air.

It slls good

Iris muttered.

Im done chopping the veggies. What do I need to do next?

Prepare the cheese for the olette. If you could chop it finely, that would be great.

I understand. Its fun to cook together like this

I agree. Not bad once in a while.

I proceed with the cooking as we talk.

I remove the browned beef and garlic to a platter and throw the onions, carrots, and mushrooms into the frying pan. After frying for a while, return the beef and garlic and add more wine.

The heat of the frying pan evaporated the alcohol, and a cloud of white steam rose.

Wow

Lily, who had finished cracking the eggs, looked at the contents of the pan with sparkling eyes.

They look delicious.

Do you want a little taste?

Um Im fine.

Lily said this with reserve, but her eyes were glued to the frying pan.

I smiled wryly and took a small plate and fork from a nearby cupboard.

The beef and vegetables are well cooked, and Im sure you can eat any of them.

I chose a smaller beef piece and moved it to a small plate. Then I handed it to Lily with a fork.

A child should not hesitate to eat. Just give it a taste.

Eh, oh, um Im sorry. Thank you.

Lily shrank back as if afraid, then took the fork and brought the beef to her mouth.

Delicious

Her expression broke into a smile as if a flower was blooming.

As I was smiling, Surara called out to .

Master-san, the tomatoes are ready!

I understand. Bring it over here.

Yes!

Surara holds up the pot with both hands and carries it over to .

Where should I put it?

The magic stove I use has two side-by-side burners, and the pan is heated on the right side.

Put it on the left side.

Yes!

Looking into the pot, the stewed tomatoes are tender and look very tasty.

I turn off the pan and throw all the ingredients into the pot.

When the pot is boiling, I turn the heat down to low, put the lid on, and watch for a while.

I put the pan on the sink nearby.

Master-san! Ill do the washing up!

Yes, please.

Im going to scrub!

With Surara by my side, I set about my next nu item.

Lets make the cheese olette.

Iris, hows the cheese?

I just finished cutting it up.

Thank you. That helps.

I make an olette by adding salt, pepper, fresh milk, and Iriss chopped cheese to a bowl of eggs.

I take a new frying pan out of the cupboard and heat it on the magic stove while I pull out the butter.

When it was warm enough, the olette batter was poured in.

This is where the [Dexterity] cos into play.

I shook the pan to shape the olette, and when it was just one step short of half-cooked, I moved it toward the edge of the pan.

With a simple motion of my wrist, I flipped the olette over.

Thats amazing!

Lily sighed in admiration. Each of her reactions was so cute and innocent.

Its not so difficult. Do you want to try it with ?

Um

Lily was puzzled for a little while but eventually replied, If it doesnt bother Kou-san

Its all right. Then co over here.

Please take care of !

I let Lily hold the pan and put my right hand on it, just as I did when we cracked the eggs.

Then we gothree, two, one

Eii!

The well-shaped olette spins halfway through the air and returns to the frying pan.

Its done!

Perfect score.

Thanks to you, Kou-san. Thank you very much!

Lily looked up at and smiled happily.

Seeing that expression made happy too.

Well, Im getting really hungry, so lets finish the rest of the olette in one go.

I take out the third frying pan from the cupboard and start cooking olets on both sides of the stove at the sa ti.

Kou is really dexterous, isnt he?

Iris murmurs in admiration.

Its all thanks to my skills. Anyway, can I ask you to do one more job?

Of course. Anything you need.

Thank you, that helps.

I asked Iris to cut up a banana and mix it with yogurt.

This is for dessert.

Five minutes later, lunch was ready.

On the first floor of the carriage, there is a dining area in addition to the seating area with sofas.

The food was laid out on a large table, and everyone took their seats.

Then, lets enjoy the al.
