Reincarnated as the Legitimate Son of a Duke Family's ~ Just Trying To Live Live My Life Normally, But Somehow I've Got a Harem?~ - Chapter 54 : Field Trip [5]
Frankly, cooking in this world isn’t difficult at all.
This is because most of the ingredients I knew from my previous life are readily available.
I don’t doubt that, but there’s no point in thinking too much about it.
I quickly cooked the food and finished before the other groups.
Then, I had Professor Nois check it.
“Oh? Today’s menu is… Crazy Boar and a vegetable-packed hot pot… Yes, it’s delicious. Today’s star dish is undoubtedly yours.”
“Thank you. But it’s not much to call it cooking. This is about the extent of what I can do.”
“No, no, it’s not exaggerated at all. Understanding what you can do and doing it without failure is essential. It will be useful in everything, and it can make you an excellent commander as well.”
“No, no, it’s too much.”
“Haha, as always. Well then, I’ll pass you.”
He said those words and went to observe the other teams…
“Oh, excuse me. I have something to ask.”
“What is it?”
“You see, Merle…”
“Huh?”
There should be something to think about from the previous conversation.
After all, we can’t eat it all by ourselves.
“Do you have something to say?”
“Yes… Well, can we share it with the members of other teams who couldn’t catch any prey? Just the minimum meal won’t be enough for them, right?”
“Hmm… Since you caught the prey, you’re free to do as you wish.”
“Oh, thank you!”
“No, no, I don’t mind a spirit of sharing.”
With that said, she leaves this time.
“Serena, Thor, sorry for deciding without asking.”
“It’s fine, really. It’s also the duty of those in charge.”
“Yeah, it’s true. Let’s repay the favor here.”
“So, let’s start with us, shall we?”
They all nodded, and we began to eat.
Under the starry night sky, the four of us gathered around the pot.
And we each served the hot pot onto our plates.
“All right, it’s not bad… The herbs remove the gamey taste. It’s rich and yet light, made with the essence of meat and the moisture of vegetables.”
“Amazing… Alex, you have such talent in cooking!”
“Oh, come on, even I didn’t know that much.”
“Wow… Alex, you’re really good at cooking!”
“No, no, it’s nothing special. I think this situation enhances the taste, to be honest.”
“That’s certainly true.”
And so, we shared this special meal in a camp-like setting with our close friends.
It would have been perfect with some alcohol, but I guess you have to be at least twenty in this country.
But even without alcohol, it’s more than enough… In short, it’s fantastic.
Afterward, we finished eating to our satisfaction, but it seems we didn’t even need to distribute it.
Before we knew it, a crowd had gathered around us.
There were those who had already eaten the prey they caught, those who couldn’t catch anything, and even soldiers.
They were all looking at us, or rather at the peony hot pot in the clay pot.
“Uh, Alex, what should we do?”
“They’re all looking at us.”
“There are so many.”
“Okay… Attention, everyone! Do you want to eat this delicious hot pot!?”
At my words, the people around us showed surprised expressions at first, but soon their expressions changed.
“Woohoo!”
“We want to eat!”
They shouted excitedly and made their requests.
“All right, it’s settled! So, line up in an orderly fashion! If anyone fights or cuts in line, they’ll be excluded!… Thor, please take the lead from here!”
“Yes, yes, I’ll organize it, shall I?”
“Merle-san, please help me hand it out. Serena, can you take the role of distributing it?”
“Okay!”
“Yes, leave it to me.”
And so, the four of us worked together to distribute the peony hot pot from the clay pot to the students.
As they ate and their smiles appeared, we couldn’t help but smile as well.
Well, sometimes this kind of thing isn’t so bad.
