I did high-speed dogeza

"You came home pretty tattered."

　As soon as she saw me, Delphida stopped knitting and frowned.

"You did a great job"

　Elmina-san said to Delphida-san, leaned her bow and quiver near the doorway, and quickly walked towards her room. Hmm, are you angry?

　As I tilt my head, Elmina-san returns with clothes.

"Take care of yourself, okay?"

"Excuse me, the clothes I borrowed from you..."

"No, it's not, but it's more about you than your clothes. You're Melkina's husband, aren't you? Even you guys will leave us behind, so at least you have to fulfill your natural life span."

　Elmina seemed a little angry. She was certainly a little careless, or maybe even thoughtless. The feeling that it would probably be fine was almost certain, but since it was a monster that I had never seen before, it was possible that it would be just in case.

"It was thoughtless"

"Yes, please reflect."

　When I lowered my head, Elmina smiled as if she was satisfied. Umu, looking at it like this, it's still a mother and daughter. Her smiling face looks just like Melkina. I mean, seriously, I don't look like a mother. She doesn't pass as an older sister enough.

"Ah, then I'll change my clothes."

"Yes, please go."

　For some reason, when I look at Elmina-san, it reminds me of Melkina and I feel sad, so I go back to the bedroom I was given and decide to change my clothes.

　But it's burnt and battered. It is surprising that some prototypes remain. Is it a special cloth that doesn't burn out even if it's burned by magical flames?

『Didn't you pass magic through your body when you defended? I think the magic passed through my clothes to some extent, and that's why it didn't burn.』

　Would it have been ZENRA if magic didn't pass through it?

　I spread the newly handed clothes on the bed and take out the sword belt I got from Ares-kun from the treasure box.

　Hmm, it's really strange. Why are there men's clothes in Elmina's bedroom... Huh? Oh yeah. that? Isn't that crazy?

"I agree. You're a brute to carelessly burn a memento and ruin it.』

　AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! ? Even if you don't have this, it's not Elmina-san's husband's clothes! ? Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan I have to apologize They will forgive me, but I feel guilty! Wow oh oh oh!

　When I was writhing in my underwear, the bedroom door was suddenly opened. Wondering what happened, she turned around and there was Elmina-san with an indescribable expression.

"Taishi-kun, what are you doing..."

"I'm sorry!"

　I landed at the speed of light. No, it wouldn't even exceed the speed of sound, let alone the speed of light, but I fell on my knees with that much momentum. I feel like I've never done such a splendid dogeza to Marle.

"Eh...?

"No, I'm really sorry. This is your husband's clothes, isn't it? A precious keepsake."

"What are you making a fuss about... Elmina, Taishi-kun, can you do something special like that even when I'm outside?"

　Even Delphida-san, who heard the commotion, appeared and it's already a mess. Moreover, you have misunderstood the diagonally upward direction. It's not like that!

"No! Just put on your clothes!"

"Yes mom!"

　I quickly put on clothes that seemed to be thicker and stronger than the clothes I had borrowed from the beginning. Although it is thick, it is breathable and comfortable to wear. Wear a sword belt firmly. No, are you okay now? I don't mind. Let's put it on.

　When I went to the living room after changing clothes, I found Delphida-san who had a bump on her head and Elmina-san who was angry.

"Daiichi Taishi-kun is that child's husband? There's no way I can do this."

"Is that so? Well, if you say so, then it must be so."

"It's a way of saying that has implications..."

"I am also your parent.

　Delphida-san is indifferent even though she has a bump on her head. What will happen to me? It's a strange feeling that's a bit scary and hopeful.

"Aren't you too deep in your work? 』

　Why is Elmina so beautiful?

"Double Standard B"

　I'm trying to protect my chastity, but I'm not going to stop thinking about this kind of man's romance. Isn't a beautiful young mother-in-law romantic? Fantasy, right? Only an elf could do it... No, I was a human too. That's funny with Iru-san.

"Ah, that girl is a bit special."

　It felt like the bad god knew something about Iru-san, but it would be troublesome if I was asked to pay for it, so I let it pass. It doesn't seem like such an important issue right now.

"Can I rely on you more? 』

　I refuse.

　Standing in the kitchen with Elmina-san and Delphida-san who were arguing with each other for some reason, I turned on the fire. I'm sorry for being like that in the morning! If something like that comes out, I'll make it!

"Delphida-san, is it better to thoroughly cook Behemoth's liver and meat?"

"Oh, you should do that. Don't forget to remove the smell because it smells."

"Hey Taishi-kun, if it's cooking, I'll do it."

"No, that's fine."

　First, examine the seasonings provided in the kitchen. Spices like salt, sugar, and pepper, mixed spices like curry powder, oil that smells like sesame, oil that smells like garlic, something like a thick sauce in a jar— - When you taste it, it tastes like Worcestershire sauce. Unfortunately, there was no soy sauce or miso.

　The vegetables were something like a blue onion, something like a cabbage, apparently a carrot, a purple radish-like root vegetable, a bunch of leek-like leaves, and a multicolored mushroom.

　I have never used any vegetables. I'm in trouble. For the time being, I tear off a few leaves that look like Chinese chives and put them in my mouth. Yeah, it's leek. Maybe leeks.

　For now, let's stir-fry the ravioli.

　After that, I'll make a soup with something like cabbage, thinly sliced ​​behemoth meat, mushrooms, and salt. Is this mushroom an ingredient? I don't think I have poisonous mushrooms in my kitchen. No, right?

"This mushroom is edible, isn't it?"

"Of course."

　I felt relieved.

　Slice a mushroom that looks like a big shiitake mushroom. Let's slice the axis and put it together. Finally, the mushrooms will be thrown into the soup when it is not very simmering.

　While you're making the soup, slice the large chunks of liver into bite-sized pieces and soak them in salt water to remove the smell.

　I had a lump of black bread, so I sliced ​​it into appropriate numbers as well. The staple food is important.

　Then fry the deodorized liver in sesame-like oil and lightly sprinkle with salt. When the fire goes through, throw in the chopped Chinese chives and fry. Lightly salt and pepper here. And finish with a little bit of mystery sauce and it's complete.

　The soup is just seasoned with salt and pepper and boiled. I got the aku properly.

　I ask Elmina-san to bring out the dishes, and the three of us sit down at the dining table.

"Surprisingly decent"

"It would be rude of you to say that."

"I can do this much if I put my mind to it."

　It's a rough man's dish, but do you really need it, is that so? After all, I can't let Elmina-san stand in the kitchen.

　The taste of stir-fried levanilla was okay. Actually, soy sauce was good, but the Worcestershire sauce-like one is also delicious enough. I would like rice for stir-fried levanilla, but you can also put it on black bread. The soup is quite good, whether it's a good broth from mushrooms or Behemoth meat.

"Then I will do it at night."

"No, I'll make it"

"yes?"

　Mr. Delphida saved the dinner crisis. Mr. Elmina, who just sprinkles salt and bakes, doesn't need that much seasoning, so those seasonings must be Mr. Delphida's. Then you should be fine.

"Then let me ask you a few questions. I just listened to you lightly yesterday."

"Ah, so you're talking about Melkina. I also only heard stories before we met, so I don't know how accurate the content is, but if that's okay."

"That's fine. Shall we prepare a drink?"

　Saying that, Elmina-san prepared tea, and as it was in the living room, it was decided to talk about Melkina after leaving this forest, which I had heard. Yesterday, I was just talking about how Melkina called my wife.
