Chapter 80 Nobusada's Hammer of Wrath
While Nobusada was doing trial runs for rice milling magic .
Three girls are facing to each other in the bathroom-turned cavern . The bathtub was made by Nobusada's magic, Mitama's life magic provided the water, then Futsuno turned it into hot water with her fire magic .
These girls are discussing something with serious expressions on their faces .
"So? How's it goin' with you and Nobu-kun after that time?"
"Nuna!? Why would you touch upon that now of all time noja . "
" . . . Important . Nobu plunged toward a giant enemy alone once again today . "
"Right right, Nobu-kun somehow always ends up going up against some troublesome opponents, don'tcha think? I'm afraid he'd overdo it and get past point of no return one of these days . "
" . . . So you'd better make many connections to tie the knot . Besides . . . "
Mitama stammered a bit before resuming .
" . . . Besides, Kagura is part of family . Everyone together . "
Mitama sheepishly said that while bashfully looking down .
Her words were transmitted clearly to Kagura despite how faint they were . Kagura herself had been all alone in the world after losing her mother . She's fully aware of what Mitama is trying to say .
"Indeed . You're all important family to me too . Beloved one and precious family . I am truly happy right now . "
Then with a resolute look on her face, she spoke to the two .
"Tonight . I shall pay a visit when milord is taking his bath . That will be when my heart and body become his . I am also going to tell him not to overdo things with us as chains . "
Everyone nodded and smiled at each other . The girls are tightening their bonds unbeknown to Nobusada .
Ignorance of such, Nobusada was watching his dream steam rising from the cooked rice .
AdvertisementThe lid was uncovered to unveil shining white rice with rising steam .
Uhoo, here comes rice . Well then, time for a taste .
Crunch
So gooooooooood, it's way gooooooooooood
What the heck is this stuff too good . I've never tasted rice this good in my life before . This stuff can easily complement the Louv Pork even with its overflowing meat juice for sure .
By the way, the girls have all learned how to use chopsticks . Even Sefi-san who had lots of trouble in the beginning can use it neatly now . I shaved those chopsticks myself unique to each girls . Mitama has a cat mark, Futsuno-san's fox, Kagursan's spear, while Sefi-san has a potion mark carved on the chopsticks . Carving a snake would be in poor taste so I didn't . Mine has Tamchan's mark .
A simple table and chair set along with a clay charcoal stove! Charcoal and igniter!
Ummu, all set .
I'll ask Kagursan who's standing by to go call everyone . Even if we've laid ourselves bare already, I'd feel bad intruding the girls when they're relaxing .
"Kagursan, I'm all done here, could you call everyone here?"
"Understood . I shall immerse myslef in hot bath after meal . I shall be off noja . "
Few minutes later . Mitama cheerfully comes in while humming in good mood . The two girls were warmly looking at her from behind . It's already a routine for us .
"Thanks for waiting . Here be our meals today . Dipping the griled meat in this condiment before you stuff it in your mouth will bring happiness, guaranteed . Well then, itadakimasu . "
"""Itadakimasu"""
I put the well done galbi in salted white rice . Then it went in my mouth as I wrapped another . . . Aah, bliss . The meal comes together with the meat .
"Fuhaaa, this must be what Ma referred as the taste of hometown . This rice is very nice by itself, but paired with the side dish, it's like, I feel like I can eat it forever . Oh no, I cannae stop . "
"Ah, truly . This is the taste . The taste of white rice I seldom encountered even in my long separated hidden village . And here I get to eat it with this luxurious meat . I have never felt such extravagance in my life before . "
" . . . Chomp chomp chomp chomp, gulp gulp gulp gulp . "
Three differing replies, though one of them isn't exactly one . Since the people of eastern Hinoto Empire regularly eat rice, Kagursan being someone hailing from there with her mother, it's no surprise that she's got a taste of rice before . It's a very nice match . I'll work hard to stock up more whenever I have time from now on .
When the mountains of meat that were on the table had all gone, I recalled that thing .
It's been quite some time since I put it in . If all goes well, now should be a good time, no?
Come out you! Three sake stone containers! If it went well .
First of all, peach juice! I opened it and . . . It's spoiled rotten!Was it too fast?!! Or probably not, it's drifting off some dangerous smell, probably because some sort of microorganisms got mixed in . Since it's fermenting fine, the experiment on accelerated time in dimensional storage is a success .
Next is apple juice . Gufu, this one's no good either . Wonder if it's because of the lack of corks . It looks half-baked .
Lastly, grape juice . Sniff sniff . Oh? Nice going?
Time for Discerning-sensei's turn .
Grape Juice (Fermenting)
Quality: Average - Enclosed Mana: 3/3
One step before wine state . Has low alcoholic content, yet it gives off richer aroma than regular grape juice .
Fumu, looks like it needs a bit more time . Well since this doesn't look poisonous, guess I'll let the two heavy drinkers have a taste .
