Chapter 26: Medicinal food is good for your health

For the time being, I was told to participate in the “Summoning Ceremony”, so I decided to participate.

Perhaps the fairy will be summoned at this time.

“Would I be summoning you in the temple? 』\

“♪ I wonder? I haven’t heard the details. “

“Something has changed from the goddess’s original plan, right? 』\

“? Actually, I feel that way too … The dungeon where the evil god is sealed is in the Kingdom of Wolg. Isn’t the master’s marriage itself already different from the goddess’s speculation? 』 \

“Duke Guile, what should I do then?”

I won’t call him father-in-law again!

“That’s right … Would you please go to the school first and see my wife after completing the” summoning ceremony “? I’ll tell the school director about the situation and get permission from him. I’d like you to cure my wife’s illness. “

At that time, my mother-in-law’s stomach rang cutely.

“Ooh! How embarrassing!”

“Mother-in-law, I think you’re feeling a lot better so you’ll have an appetite. In recovery, it’s very important to eat. Eating nutritious foods and improving your health will help you recover faster.”

“That’s right? I haven’t had much of an appetite lately and haven’t eaten much …”

“This illness causes a low-grade fever and you had it for a long time. You were getting more and more weakened by the fever and cough.”

“Alright! Jail-dono, Luke-kun, I was planning to have the cross examination done fast, but it took longer than expected and it’s already dinner time. I’d like to have supper first, is that alright?”

This old man …  he’s changed the way he calls me I wonder what’s his intention!

“♪ For the time being, it’s wait-and-see, but I think he acknowledged you as a relative.”

It’s probably due to mother-in-law’s recovery but, it seems my favorability has improved compared to when I was only seen as the famous stupid prince.

“Yes, that’s fine for me.”

“I’m about to die from hunger! Yes, how about you join us mother-in-law? It’ll just be for about 30 minutes? Lara seems to be lonely too “

“Lara … but I have a contagious illness …”

“I’ll put a shield on mother-in-law with wind magic, so it won’t be transmitted to anyone”

“Really? If I can, I want to see my daughters …”

“Sasha … I’m sorry, I’ve left you lonely …”

“Dear…  I’m sick, so you can’t help it.”

Mother-in-law will participate for a short time after everyone is seated.

“Oh, about the food, mother-in-law should have something that’s easy to digest and easy to eat. Do you have any rice?”

The staple food in this world is mainly bread, but rice also exists.

“There should be rice, but isn’t rice worse than bread?”

I don’t remember Luke eating porridge, though there’s something similar to pilaf or fried rice.

“Can I use the kitchen for a while? Let me make some healthy medicinal food.”

“Hey Luke! You! Don’t do anything unnecessary!”

“Brother … I just want to cook food that’s good for mother-in-law.”

“Sasha’s healthy food … Luke, you can use the kitchen as you like!”

Wow, this old man really loves Sasha.

“Then mother-in-law, I’ll call you when I’m ready, so please rest until then.”

“Yes. I’m glad to see my daughters for the first time in a long while!”

She’s a cute girl … I think I can see why that old man doesn’t take a second wife.

I Leave the room and cast [clean] on everyone.

 “[Clean] again!… Luke sama! What was this [Clean] for?”

The maid is biting again …

“[Clean] has the effect of purifying the invisible causes of illnesses. I cleaned the entire room including mother-in-law, but just in case, I did it again after leaving the room. Even if you get injured, it’s better to cleanse it with [Clean] then apply recovery magic rather than just washing with water and applying recovery magic. It will prevent suppuration. “

“I see … Thank you! I’ve learned something new!”

* * *

I went to the kitchen, and four cooks were busy cooking.

The Duke called out to the chef and gave me permission to enter.

I was shown the ingredients, but various items are available.

“What kind of meat is this?”

“It’s the meat of a cow demon beast.”

“♪ It’s the meat of a demon beast called Rush Buffalo. It’s a super-luxury food. ”

Cow demon beast … it’s amazing! It’s quality enough to compare with A5 Wagyu beef!

“Can I get some of this meat?”

I got about 500g from the block of meat.

The rice is a little slender … I think it’s closer to California rice than Japonica rice.

There’re onions, carrots, tomatoes … I hurriedly cook the rice.

Slice the tomatoes and taste them … how sweet!

“It’s so sweet …”

“It’s a dungeon tomato. It’s a little expensive, but it’s very delicious.”

Alright, the menu has been decided!

I beat the beef with a kitchen knife!

“” Ah ~~~! I’m sorry! “”

The cooks made a scream-like voice … I was looking at this while cooking my own food, well then

Let’s make Lara’s part.

I beat it with two knives to make minced meat … you know it … it’s a hamburger that kids love! Minced meat will be good for mother-in-law’s stomach. You can’t get well without eating meat.

And for the rice, I made a medicinal tomato risotto, which is a blend of several kinds of herbs.

Red wine, butter, olive oil, salt, pepper, nuts, garlic, ginger, bread crumbs, eggs, milk, honey, sugar, lemon … There are many ingredients, but it’s a pity that there is no soy sauce.

For the hamburger steak, I used rush buffalo meat to make minced meat.

Garnish with boiled broccoli and carrots, sprinkled with olive oil and fruit juice seasoned with salt and pepper.

The cooks are coming to my side and writing notes hard …

“Are you guys  done with cooking?”

“Yes we are, when it’s supper time, we just have to cook and serve it in order. Is that one of the court’s dishes?”

eh? it’s a hamburger? By the way, I don’t remember Luke eating this …

“♪ He sometimes made dumplings and put them in a soup, but it seems that there is no concept of mincing meat before cooking. If you want to bake it, it’s common sense to bake it normally and make a steak. “

“Seriously …”

“♪ There is no fried food because oil is expensive. It’s basically boil or bake. “

“This is my creative dish … would you like to taste it?”

“””We’d love to!”””

I cut one hamburger into 5 equal parts and taste.

“It’s delicious! It’s  great with gravy!”?

“” Delicious! This sauce is so good! “”

I finished it in a demiglace style, but for me, it’s 80 points. It’s a pity that there is no soy sauce. I mixed 3 kinds of herbs in the hamburger steak, so it has a slight green color. Well, it’s not enough to bother me, so let’s think about nutrition.

“This rice dish is also delicious!”

Yeah … 95 points for tomato risotto! It’s a good deck!

The sourness and sweetness of the tomatoes match perfectly. It’s a little moist and contains plenty of chopped tomatoes, onions and carrots, so it tastes like minestrone with rice.

“It seems that she was bedridden for a long time, so it would be hard to sit for long periods, please serve the madame first.”

“OK”

Yes, there are still ingredients, so let’s make a drink …

I mix honey and lemon juice with my water magic and put the “honey lemon” in a pitcher to cool. This is one of the most popular drinks in this world.

Now we’re ready … let’s leave the rest to the cooks.
