I entered the dining room with Karina.

[Yuna-san, please sit here.] Karina

Sitting as I was told, Karina happily sits next to me.

As soon as we sit in the chair, the door opens then Balima-san and Ristil-san enter the dining room.

Also, there is a little boy holding Ristil-san’s hand. Speaking of which, you did say that you have a 3-year-old son.

[Mother…] Boyo

When the boy saw me, he hid behind Ristil-san.

He must have been surprised by the appearance of the Bear.

Bears are scary so it can’t be helped.

[Fufu, it’s all right. Because it’s a cute bear. Yuna-chan, let me introduce you. This is my son Norris. C’mon, say hello.] Ristil

Risti-san pushes the boy’s back in front of herself.

[Norris.] Norris (TN Chuck?)

After the boy says his name in a small voice, he becomes flustered and hides behind Ristil-san.

[Um, I’m Yuna. Nice to meet you, too.] Yuna

I introduced myself, but Norris just poked his face from behind her.

[I’m sorry this boy is a little shy.] Ristil

Ristil-san takes Norris to his seat.

Bears have a big heart so don’t worry. (TN: only for lolis and probably shotas.)

I call it indifference.

[Karina seems to be in a good mood, did something good happened I wonder.] Ristil

Seeing Karina sitting next to me, Ristil-san asks.

Maybe it was because Karina’s expression was so bright. Thanks to her playing with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, the childlike smile of Karina returned.

It seems that her stiff heart became a little soft.

[Yes, I got along with Yuna-san’s Bears. They were so fluffy and comfy.] Karina

[That’s good then, thank you, Yuna-chan. She’s been gloomy ever since that incident.] Ristil

Ristil-san smiled and thanked me.

When I first met Karina, her expression was so dark like its the end of her world. It was a good idea to let her play with Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, so that she would get distracted.

When everyone gets to their seats, Rasa-san carries the food on a trolley.

A certain smell drifts from Rasa-san.

What’s that smell?

Really?

No way, can I really find it here?

Rasa-san placed bread, salads and a bit of food in front of me. And she placed something similar to ochre-curry-like-soup on the plate.

At that moment, the nostalgic smell stimulates my nose.

It’s been a long time since I smelled this scent.

……… This is definitely ……… Curry.

I stared at the soup that smells like curry. The color and the smell this is definitely curry. Now if the taste is different, it’ll be enough to sue for fraud.

But there are no other ingredients in it.

It feels like its not a curry that I know of.

When I’m investigating the , Rasa-san speaks.

[Please put it on the bread and eat it.] Rasa

Teaching me how to eat curry, of all things.

After all the food has been distributed to everyone, Rasa-san sits in the corner of the table. Apparently the house’s servant Rasa-san, also eats with them.

[Well then, Yuna-san, was it not to your palate?] Balima

No, I want to eat it as soon as possible.

Let me eat now.

In Balima-san’s words, everyone starts eating bread dipped in what appears to be curry. Imitating everyone, I grabbed the bread, then dunked the bread on what seems to be curry and ate it. The spicy and nostalgic taste explodes in my mouth.

………This is definitely ………Curry.

No way, I never thought I would find it here.

[Yuna-san, what’s wrong?] Karina

Karina asks, while I’m being immersed in the excitement of encountering curry.

[Karina, what is this?] Yuna

[It’s called curry. Did you not like it?] Karina

[It’s delicious.] Yuna

[That’s good. It is very delicious.] Karina

Karina also eats bread with curry, she’s making it looks delicious. I continue eating curry on bread. It was delicious.

With this, I can make curry pan, curry udon and curry rice.

Everything looks delicious.

[Karina, do you know how to make this?] Yuna

[Um, the curry?] Karina

[Yeah, if you know the ingredients, I’d like to go buy some.] Yuna

Spices are sold because they are also used for cooking.

However, curry powder is made by mixing various spices.

I have it in my knowledge, but that doesn’t mean that I can make curry from spices.

So, if you’re selling curry powder, I would like to buy some.

[Um, I’m sorry…. Rasa!] Karina

Karina is panicking a little, she calls out to Rasa-san for help.

Rasa-san moved away from her seat.

[What do you need, Karina-sama?] Rasa

[Yuna-san wants to know how make curry.] Karina

[Curry is it?] Rasa

[I would like to know the ingredients, are there other good spices? Where are they selling it?] Yuna

[Well, we do sell spices, but to make this curry, we mix various spices, so they are not being sold to shops.] Rasa

Its not being sold…….

No way…

You cannot buy it……

….But you can make it.

[Can you tell me which spices to use?] Yuna

[Because this spice is an important recipe taught by my mother.] Rasa

An important recipe from her mom.

Then maybe…

[I’m sorry to hear that.] Yuna

[Oh, I’m sorry, don’t get me wrong. My mother is still alive.] Rasa

[Alive?] Yuna

This is confusing.

I thought she was dead.

[Yes, she’s fine. I decided to work for this mansion and then she taught me the recipe as a congratulatory gift. My mother made this curry when there was a celebration in my house.] Rasa

Though I understand that the recipe was important for Rasa-san, but…

[Let me tell you a story, this recipe is……] Rasa

There is a way to ask Balima-san for the reward of a request, but this is sneaky, it takes advantage of the weakness of the person and he becomes the least human.

There is no other way…

Money?

As a person, that would be no good.

You can’t buy people’s important things with money.

…….It’s no use.

I can’t think of anything.

But I want to know.

Yet I don’t want to force her.

Here, depending on whether I can get a curry powder recipe, my life in another world will change.

Uuuuuuuuuuu, what should I do!?

[I know Rasa takes good care of this recipe, but can’t you tell Yuna-san?] Karina

While I’m having a conflict in my heart, Karina sent me a rescue boat.

[Karina-sama…..] Rasa

[Um, can I please?] Yuna

I have no idea what I could do to make Rasa-san agree, so I’ll just ask.

Rasa-san looks at Karina and me alternately. Then, she sigh a little.

[……I understand.] Rasa

[Are you sure?] Yuna

Somehow, I asked Karina to ask Rasa-san and she was forced to teach me.

[Yes, However, there are conditions.] Rasa

[Conditions?] Yuna

[In exchange for teaching you the recipe, I would like you to teach me a recipe for a dish that I don’t know. I’d like to offer new dishes to Karina-sama.] Rasa

[Dishes that Rasa-san doesn’t know…] Yuna

Certainly, it is a more sensible idea to exchange for a recipe than money.

But a recipe? Hmmmm….

[Yes, please show me a delicious dish.] Rasa

[Isn’t that difficult? Rasa is studying cooking in many ways.] Karina

[Yes, that’s an important recipe after all.] Rasa

Karina told me about Rasa-san’s diligence in cooking. It seems unlikely that Rasa-san herself will teach easily. But, conversely, if I teach a cooking recipe that convinces Rasa-san, she will tell me the curry spice recipe.

But studying cooking doesn’t mean you can’t use ordinary ingredients.

I have the knowledge of earth in my hand. There are many recipes that Karina doesn’t know.

However, there are many cases where it cannot be made due to problems with materials or equipment. Even though I have the knowledge of making curry, I cannot make curry without the spices.

First of all, I do not know the type and name of the spices here.

The problem is what food to teach.

Something that Rasa-san, who is studying cooking, doesn’t know and it needs to be delicious….

With that, the choices became limited.

Currently, I can make pizza, pudding, or cake.

There is a problem with the material, but it is likely to be an equivalent exchange as the most traded.

[Can I use sweets?] Yuna

[Yes, it doesn’t matter.] Rasa

[Well, can I have you eat it after the meal?] Yuna

[Um, are you going to make it now?] Rasa

I shake my head.

[I have something ready, and I’ll give it to you after your meal. If Rasa-san doesn’t know the food and if it’s delicious, please teach me the curry recipe.] Yuna

[Yes, I understand.] Rasa

She made a firm promise.

Everyone here is a witness.

[Does Yuna-san knows how to cook?] Karina

[Yeah, I made it myself.] Yuna

I often eat Morin-san’s bread and Anzu’s dishes, but sometimes I make and eat my own food.

I often cook my own dishes, especially rice.

I also make sweets for Fina and the others.

However, since it is troublesome to make it, I only make a small number of batches every time.

[Yuna-san is a strange person. She looks like a Bear, a strong adventurer and can also cook. I can’t do anything.] Karina

[Well then, if my food judged by Rasa-san passed, why don’t we make it together tomorrow?] Yuna

[Are you sure?] Karina

[If I get a passing mark, I’ll have to teach it to Rasa-san.] Yuna

I thought it was going to be just a city exploration, but it turns out I’ll be getting a curry recipe.

Exploration can be done even after the request is over. There is only curry for now.

Rasa-san’s feelings may change.

Then I resume eating curry on bread.

It was delicious.

I have to get it.

After enjoying the curry, I put a pudding and a spoon in front of everyone.

Curry spice recipes and pudding recipes should be equivalent in value.

However, value rises endlessly according to people’s wishes. Pudding is worth it, but it doesn’t really matter to me.

However, Rasa-san’s curry spice recipe was a family’s passion.

All I have to do is let Rasa-san understands it.

[Oh, is it okay for us as well?] Balima

[Yes, please try it too. If it tastes good, please help me persuade Rasa-san.] Yuna

[Well, okay sure. I’ll make a fair decision.] Balima

[Rasa-san, have you seen this food?] Yuna

[I haven’t, this is my first time seeing it.] Rasa

Well, of course…. If you have seen it before, I’ll be in trouble.

[This is……」Balima

But Balima-san responds while examining the pudding.

Are~… Did you perhaps know what that is?

[Oh right! From the time of Follout-sama’s birthday celebration!] Balima

Oh, Balima-san. Did you perhaps attended the King’s birthday party?

[Dear do you know what this is?] Ristil

[Oh, it’s a dish that was served during Follout-sama’s birthday celbration. It was very tasty, it made quite the commotion.] Balima

Rasa-san made a surprised expression when she learned that this dish made its appearance at the King’s birthday party.

[Why do you have this, Yuna-san?] Balima

Hmm, what should I do?

[I want you to keep this secret, I was the one who made it.] Yuna

[I think I understand why Follout-sama hid the information.] Balima

Balima-san looks at me and the pudding alternately.

[Yuna-san, have you ever cooked for the King?] Karina

[A few times. Well, what are you waiting for, please try it.] Yuna

It is difficult to explain my relationship with the King, so I urge them to eat the pudding to dodge the topic.

[Mother, this is delicious.] Norris

Norris, who ate the pudding before anyone else, answers with a full smile.

Then the others started eating as well.

[It is so delicious.] Karina

[Ara, Dear you ate such a delicious thing before?] Ristil

[It’s a dish that was served at the birthday celebration of Follout-sama.] Balima

[It is really delicious!] Rasa

Popular words came out from Rasa-san.

[I’ll teach you this recipe.] Yuna

[Are you sure? This is a dish that was served at the castle of El Fancia Kingdom, isn’t it? Moreover, Follout-sama’s said .] Balima

[Well, because I’m the one who made it, I am free to teach it to anyone. Besides Rasa-san won’t teach it to anyone that easily.] Yuna

[Yes, of course I will not do such a thing. I’m just happy if Karina-sama is eating delicious food.] Rasa

At that moment, the recipe trade off was completed.

I thank Rasa-san.
