episode_0008

After the advent ceremony, I came to the kitchen to make food for Arthur and Mummumi.

The princess who accompanied her to tour the kitchen looked around.

“Hmm. This is what the kitchen looks like.”

“Is this your first time in the kitchen?”

“Yes. Why would a woman, not a man, come to a place like this?”

“… … ?”

‘Gender doesn’t matter when it comes to cooking, but don’t women usually do it more? ‘Maybe it’s because she’s a princess, but her words are a bit strange.’

“I see.”

I felt a strange sense of discomfort in those words again, but why was it even worth asking the princess what she meant?

I nodded roughly and washed my hands.

Since I don’t have soap, I just use vinegar water.

“Ugh, sour smell. Why are you washing with something like that?”

“Washing your hands before cooking is basic. If you wash with vinegar water, bacteria… Hmm. I’m glad that the dirty things are dead.”

“But still. No matter how much of a warrior you are, you are still a boy. What should you do if your hands smell like vinegar?”

“I’m a warrior so it’s okay.”

‘I have cooking skills.’

After briefly chatting and teaching the princess some basic kitchen knowledge.

While she nodded in surprise, I diligently prepared the food.

All you have to do is heat up the frying oil and take the pork loin out of the warehouse under the refrigeration spell.

And I…

‘Summons.’

-Shuuuk. Thump.

I placed the appropriately cut meat on the cutting board and used ‘Vulcan’s Blessing’ to summon something.

What appeared after the lightning-like effect was a small hammer.

“A warrior? Why is the hammer suddenly.”

“It’s like this.”

-bang. bang. bang.

“… … A warrior?”

Then I started pounding the meat with the hammer.

The princess tilted her head.

“Why are you suddenly hitting the meat?”

“The dish I’m making today requires thin meat. If you beat it like this, it becomes thin and soft.”

“Uh, yes… ?”

As I explained to her the principle of muscle fiber destruction and continued pounding the meat, it became thinner and thinner.

The princess just watched in amazement.

“You know schnitzel, right? This is how schnitzel is made.”

“Hmm. I guess I wasn’t using thin meat in the first place… .”

“You can cut the meat thinly and fry it, but then it won’t be as wide. … Well, this should be enough.”

As a result, the meat has already doubled in size.

After that, I seasoned the meat like water, and then covered it with flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs.

One thing worth noting is the bread crumbs.

The coarse-grained bread crumbs, rather than the finely ground bread crumbs that are common here, were made by grating hard, old bread myself.

Since I was going to make pork cutlet to the princess today anyway, I prepared it and dried it in advance in the morning.

Then, repeat the same process one more time to stop. When there were two pieces of meat wearing white clothes.

I put the pork cutlet into the pre-heated oil.

-Charrr… .

“… Hehe. This is how fries are fried.”

“Oil may splatter, so only watch from a distance. Princess.”

Then the pork cutlet started frying with a pleasant sound.

The princess expressed curiosity at the sound of rain and the smell of rising oil…

My interests had already shifted away from fried food.

‘Of course fried food is delicious, and the sauce is important. cancer.’

-Sigh.

“… hmm? What is that?”

While the princess was looking at the fried food, I took out a bottle that I had hidden yesterday so that no one could touch it.

She expressed curiosity when she saw the sauce that was so thick that it had turned into jelly.

… okay. This is something to be curious about.

I held it out proudly.

“It’s called demi-glace sauce. It’s so delicious, I’ll try it later for dinner.”

‘It took a lot of hard work to make it, really.’

“Source? It looks like it’s hardened… .”

“It’s cooled now, but if you warm it up, it will melt again.”

The sauce that I serve with pride is the key to the taste of pork cutlet. Demi-glace sauce.

Originally, Korean pork cutlet restaurants make it simply using Worcestershire sauce and ketchup, but…

There is no Worcestershire sauce here. Even when I tried making it with a different substitute, it still had a strange taste.

So, while I was at it, I created the ‘real’ demi-glace sauce that I only knew about.

Even with my amazing cooking skills, it would take me two hours to make such a huge sauce.

and. Was the hard work worth it?

[Demi-glace Sauce – A sauce with incredible richness and flavor made by boiling brown veal stock with various vegetables and tomato paste until it becomes viscous. If you sprinkle it on dishes, the probability of great success increases significantly.]

‘Just by spraying it, you get a huge success result. It’s a fraud, it’s a fraud.’

Sang Tae-chang actually gave the evaluation, ‘If you spray this, it can’t be tasteless.’

It was a bonus that the sauce I tried for the first time received such rave reviews that I was flattered.

“… Hmm. This is my first time praising myself like this. I’m looking forward to it.”

“I’m confident. Maybe the princess will eat two bites too?”

-Sigh.

“… … Of course, I will give the princess a decent sauce.”

However, soon I smiled meaningfully and took something from the shelf.

That’s it… A container full of spicy red pepper powder.

It was similar to a cayenne pepper, made by grinding well-dried hot peppers with a mortar and grinding them into powder.

Then I put a spoonful of it into the warm demi-glace sauce.

-Surrug… Phew!

“… … !! It smells really spicy, is it okay?”

“It’s okay. Because it’s not something the princess will eat.”

Then an overwhelming spicy scent rises.

A spicy scent, similar to spicy fried noodles, pierced my nose.

It might be a lot less spicy than the ‘Killing Pork Cutlet’ that I was inspired by, but… This may be the limit for it to be delicious.

Still, it was okay. For Westerners who are not used to spicy food, it was obvious that this level would be too spicy.

“The brave Sir Arthur will enjoy it.”

“Yeah, right… ?”

“Yes. Hehehe. Hehehe… … .”

‘Arthur. For the sin of making fun of me and calling me an angel, pay back with your tongue… !!!’

* * * * * *

After a while, place the pork cutlet on top of the dark red sauce and complete the dish. Article restaurant.

I burst into laughter when I saw Arthur’s eyes widen in shock as he put the pork cutlet covered in sauce into his mouth.

‘Haha! How about this Injeolmi bean rice cake! This is K-spicy… It’s not, but it’s spicy anyway!!’

A delicate and savory demi-glace sauce carefully prepared. And lots of cayenne pepper.

It was clear that the overwhelming spicy taste, roughly equivalent to that of spicy stir-fried noodles, was burning her tongue.

People who aren’t used to spicy flavors will probably spit it out right away.

but,

-It’s a mess. Mumbling.

“… You eat better than you think?”

“It’s not just spicy, it’s deliciously spicy.”

Even though his whole body was shaking because it was so spicy, Arthur’s mouth continued to chew on the pork cutlet.

of course. The sweet and sour taste of the demi-glace sauce, which even the system recognizes, and the smooth umami that melts in your mouth will assert themselves without losing to the spiciness.

That ‘deliciously spicy taste’ was worth enduring the burning pain in my mouth.

-Mumble, gulp.

“Fhehe… What the hell is this… ?”

‘Wow, it looks like a real puppy when it sticks out its tongue.’

She swallowed a mouthful, stuck out her tongue, and asked.

I hid my true feelings and smiled like an angel.

“How about it? It’s delicious, right?”

“Ma, it’s delicious, but this is too spicy… .”

“I prepared it especially for the brave knight Sir Arthur!”

“… … !!!!?”

After that, I naturally started lying.

Arthur’s eyes widened.

“For me… especially… ?”

“Spicy foods heat the blood and increase courage. I thought it was a dish perfect for the brave Sir Arthur.”

“Well, that’s what it means… ?”

“I believe that Sir Arthur will be able to prove his bravery!”

‘If you don’t eat it all, they’ll keep teasing you about how spicy it is, so figure it out. Kuhuhu.’

She sticks out her tongue and looks dumbfounded at my lie.

When I spoke of her bravery as a knight, her pride was scratched and she gritted her teeth and took on a reckless challenge…

“As expected, you’re an angel!! You trust me so much!!”

“… … ?”

‘Eh?’

… I knew it would be a challenge.

Arthur’s face, which had been distorted in pain, brightened.

He had the same expression as a believer who believes in and follows God despite any adversity.

“No, that’s… .”

“I will repay your trust as the sword that protects the angels!!”

-Clap, clap!

Afterwards, Arthur cuts a large piece of pork cutlet and shoves it into his mouth.

Even though it was spicy, her face was full of happiness.

… Nonsense. Westerners eat sauce as spicy as fried noodles with a smile? Even I, a Korean, can’t do without cheese and milk?

– Mumbling. gulp.

“It’s so delicious, angel!”

-Clap and clap. terup.

While I froze at the unimaginable sight, Arthur continued to shove pork cutlet into my mouth. Even with a lot of sauce on it.

The sight of him never stopping to use his fork and knife, even though his reddened cheeks were sweating profusely, was the very image of a warlike knight.

… She stopped using her fork after the plate was clean without a drop of sauce.

“… Phew haha. I really enjoyed the meal! It was delicious!”

‘How much did you sweat, on earth…’ ?’

Arthur smiles brightly and exclaims that it was delicious, even though sweat is dripping all over his body.

Licking up all the sauce is the highest praise you can give a chef, but… How did you eat all that?

I opened my mouth hesitantly.

“You weren’t very happy… ? Even if you were Sir Arthur, it must have been difficult.”

“At first it was surprisingly spicy, but I am a knight that angels trust! I persevered with courage and got better!”

‘… … It’s a bimbo, Arthur?’

However, when Arthur said that he endured it with his spirit, I reluctantly admitted it.

She is a brave knight. It’s not that I’m a bit of a bitch, but I’m more confident than I am.

——And, the very moment when I realized Arthur’s feminine nature.

I immediately got to see her bonus powers one more time.

“Anyway, it’s so hot… Please excuse me for a moment!”

– Rattling, tuuk. Tuk.

“… ?”

Arthur suddenly touches the light armor he was wearing.

As if by some kind of magic, the armor came off of its own accord, revealing her insides in an instant.

“Whoa… Cool.”

-Whoop.

“… … … … !!!!!?”

‘Well, how can that be the body of a woman who will be 30 next year!?’

In an instant, she changed into much lighter clothes, revealing her firm abs and slim side breasts.

​

I couldn’t help but be astonished by that openness.

‘No, thank you, but… Why show something like that in front of a man!?’

“Ah, ah, Sir Arthur!!!?”

-Kkook.

“… what? Angel?”

“Ah, no matter how hot it is… I won’t be looking, so put it back on quickly… … .”

After that, I closed my eyes tightly. It was because I had a feeling that something very difficult would happen if I continued to look at that.

“… … ? What do you think of this outfit? ?”

“Sir Arthur. They say a hero is an innocent man who gets embarrassed even when a woman’s breasts touch his shoulder.”

“… yes? No, no matter how angelic you are. If it’s just like this, how can you go around outside? … ?”

“It’s not like that… … .”

… … I was definitely planning on causing trouble for Arthur, so why am I in trouble again?

Even if I knew it, I didn’t know it.
