Meals at the Inn

The work proceeded smoothly and the moat was completed before evening.

Right now, I'm in the middle of pouring water using water magic.

In addition, we also set up defensive fences with thorns and turrets for performing magic attacks from above.

I also used Iwao to help out.

"Gram-sama, where do you put the log?"

"Ask over there"

　Soldiers building a turret in the slightly expanded work space were waving their hands.

"Understood. Iwao this way!"

　The Iwao were mainly in charge of transporting logs.

Although it moves slowly, it can lift up to 500 kg in one piece, so the work progresses steadily.

"It's a relief to have a male general. But I wonder why those golems listen to the male general."

"Yeah. Well, that's fine..."

　I heard the conversation between Gram-sama and Rain-san.

That's right, don't pursue deeply like Gram-sama.

That's how I help you.

Of course, I don't help out just out of kindness.

The number one reason is for my own safety.

Because I'm worried if I don't solidify my defenses.

I have to make sure that the island is not overrun with monsters.

He also promised me a proper reward, and I'm supposed to receive the money in magic stones.

As the number of golems increased, so did the amount of MP that had to be replenished.

If all golems are replenished, it will interfere with the production of creation magic.

I was very grateful because if I had magic stones, the energy source for the golems would be just that.

　All the specified logs have been transported.

This is the end of my mission.

"I have to prepare dinner soon, so I will return to the inn."

"Yeah.

　This is the first time Gram-sama has spoken to me like this.

"Today's main dish is sea bream tempura."

"Tempura?"

"It's fried frites with batter. Let's fry eggplants and other vegetables together. It's delicious."

　Foreigners also like tempura, so I think the people of the Lulgoa Empire will be happy with it.

The sea bream had been provided by the food supply team of the soldiers.

"Everyone, I'll let you eat freshly fried tonight. Please look forward to it."

　After amiably waving to the officers, he returned to the cave.

Tempura doesn't taste good unless it's freshly fried.

Shall we make a special kiln outside the Iwaya and offer it?　

Oh, I want a gas stove.

　One of the officers muttered while seeing off Shiro, who was smilingly returning to the inn.

"I want to bring that male general back to my home country..."

"That's right. The food is delicious and erotic, it's the best!"

　Hearing that, Lotte sighed.

Everyone seems to think the same.

"However, if I get such a son-in-law, I'm worried that he'll cheat on me."

　Everyone was deeply convinced by the adjutant's words.

"It's just as the adjutant said. But... as a local husband on a business trip..."

　Lotte was silent, but inside she was quite impatient.

Because she was already in love with Shiro.

"Then why don't you try to persuade the male general? Actually, I asked Mr. Milano of the Land Management Survey Institute, but… it seems that one of her subordinates, Liane, harassed the male general and was terribly frustrated."

"Is that true!? If it's Lee Ann, I know it too, but she's a bitch who's used to men!"

"It seems to be true. It seems that the person himself was still breathing because the first round was over."

　Lotte's heart calmed down somewhat after hearing Rain's story.

Shiro's outward appearance is erotic, but he seems to be a firm man.

Lotte wondered if there was a way to bring Shiro back to his home country, even though he wasn't the officer from earlier.

If you're not the captain of the survey team but a dragon rider like Alyssa Milano...

Lotte smiled wryly when he saw the illusion of a wyvern carrying himself and Shiro in the blue sky of the southern country.

I was astonished when I fantasized about it.

No one could have guessed that Shiro had a relationship with the royal family of an enemy country.

Who could have imagined that it was also the man that Princess Christiana, who was feared as the war princess of Regalta, loved.

　　　♢

　I carried the tempura ingredients that had been prepared to the underground storage.

Chilling the ingredients makes them crisp and delicious.

Since we don't have katsuobushi, we decided to have them eat it with salt instead of making tempura sauce.

Katsuobushi or...

Come to think of it, I haven't had miso soup in a long time...

I miss Japan, but even more than that, I miss Chris-sama and Cecily.

Is Chris fighting well?　

Did Cecily finish her revenge?　

It was sudden, but suddenly I started to miss people...

It's not bad to enjoy the taste of your hometown once in a while.

It takes time, but I set katsuobushi in food production.

　The officers are staring at the boiling oil.

"Is it about time?"

　The sea bream tempura was nicely fried.

Drain the oil and place the tempura on a plate and serve.

"It's hot, so please be careful when eating.

　For the people of the Lurugoa Empire, it was an unknown food they had never eaten before, but when they took a sip, smiles spilled out from everyone's faces.

"good!"

"Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside..."

"Sea bream tempura... might be the most delicious in the world."

　Are you Ieyasu Tokugawa? Involuntarily, I plunged into my heart.

If you look closely, it looks like a raccoon dog.

　The tempura was very popular, and everyone was clinging to it while saying huff.

It's rare for me to see a woman sweating thinly and eating while clinging on.

But it's always nice to see them eating what I've made while saying that it's delicious.

I wonder if I'll make it again if I have the chance.

Next time I can catch shrimp and squid, let's try it.

　After dinner, we had a meeting as usual.

When I served herbal tea and tried to leave so as not to disturb her, she asked me to attend the meeting as well.

What is it?

"I have a favor to ask of the male general. Could you lend me the stone golem when I enter the dungeon tomorrow?"

　Mr. Rain said that while glancing outside.

That means it's not Goku or Wonder here...

"Stone golem, Iwao?"

"That's right. The big iron shield leaning against the hut outside is Iwao's, isn't it?"

　Iwao's equipment is kept in a special hut.

The large shield was also oiled and leaned against it, so he must have seen it.

"Are you going to let Iwao play the vanguard?"

"Yes.

　that's true.

I can create iwao again, but I don't think that's the case with human life...

"I'll take the magic stones to move the golem. I also want a separate reward..."

　I just don't want to work.

"I will make sure of that."

　If Master Gram said so, it would be fine.

　I hesitated, but I received 100,000 lemen cash, 50,000 lemen worth of magic stones, and 3 kilograms of frozen beef as an advance payment.

It seems that the ship is loaded with meat and fish frozen by magic.

You don't really need a freezer.

To tell the truth, beef is more gratifying than cash and magic stones.

I'm making katsuobushi now, and I already have soy sauce and sugar. Eggs are also available because there are chickens, and there are also onions and rice.

I don't have any sake, but I have red wine left over from LeeAnne, so I can make a gyudon with these ingredients!　

Beef bowl... it's been a while!　

I ate it after overtime, so it's been about a month.　

I will definitely eat a special serving!　

Gram-sama was looking at me curiously as I received the beef with a lot of enthusiasm.
