Chapter 296
(296) Pancake
Translator: Tseirp
My Jeweller examinations pa.s.sing celebration was over .
The turtle rice soup was really delicious .
“Right, I’ll make something as thanks . ”
I said and asked everyone to wait for a while as I prepared the ingredients in the log house .
After preparing flour, sugar, milk, b.u.t.ter, and egg, I started cooking .
“Master, I will help with making the meringue . ”
“Ah, thanks . ”
Sheena No . 3 made meringue from the egg white .
I imagined and would tolerate a chaotic cooking method by transforming her hand into a whisk but that Sheena No . 3 actually poured all the egg white into her mouth and started shaking her head at a high speed .
“What in blazes are you doing?”
“Hnennnn”
She had her mouth shut so I couldn’t tell what she was trying to say at all but Sheena No . 3 spat out perfectly made meringue from her mouth .
Whisking in her mouth … well, the inside of her mouth was a machine as well and she washed herself every day so it was probably clean .
… I hope n.o.body saw it?
I guess I’ll use it after applying Clean .
Then, I mixed the remaining ingredients in appropriate amounts .
Then, I brought the power generator and a hot plate to everyone .
“Ichinojo-sama, what is this?”
“This is a tool to heat the metal plate ― Oil Create . ”
I applied oil on the hot plate with Oil Create and poured the dough I made .
“Is this bread?”
“Similar but different . It’s pancake . ”
I answered Rarael’s question as I made pancakes to treat them .
“! It’s so tasty! It’s delicious, Ichinojo-sama . ”
Rarael ate following Pionia and Neete and she commented sincerely .
“I see . They are made entirely from ingredients from My World so I’ll teach you girls the way to make it next time . It’s very simple after all . ”
I didn’t use baking powder because I didn’t know how to make baking powder from what I could gather in My World .
Although I might be able to if I carefully read through the cooking book that Miri brought from j.a.pan .
“Such a delicious item can be made easily?”
Yeah, it’s easy … ? .
But it would take a large number of eggs to make for the number of people we have and the chickens we have now would probably be insufficient .
Making b.u.t.ter from Sugyu milk would be laborious too .
“Sorry, preparing the ingredients might be difficult . ”
“No, it isn’t too much trouble if it can be made with the ingredients from this world . We hope that we can let Ichinojo-sama taste the pancake we make one day . ”
“Thanks . ”
I thanked them and made a large number of pancakes for them .
Regardless of whether they are Dark-Elves or Hume, it seemed that girls always will love pancakes .
Incidentally, I only recalled that I swapped my Outdoor Chef job to Jeweller after I finished making pancakes for everyone .
Thus, the turtle stew party meant to celebrate my pa.s.sing ended . There were a few pancakes left but there weren’t many and I left them with Pionia so it won’t turn into a quarrel .
Given her interest in food, she would probably deal with it secretly .
I volunteered to wash the dishes as well . The Dark-Elves said that they would do it but I could finish in an instant with Clean so I did it in the end . Neete helped to clean up . Because she still had to serve punishment for the hug pillow case .
Incidentally, she was wearing the maid uniform which was the first attire she wore after she was born .
She normally wore maid attire for everyday wear but this was probably her most proper use of her attire so far .
As we were about to finish cleaning up, Pionia came back after burying the rubbish in the fields .
“Master, my task is complete . ”
“Good work . Clean . ”
She didn’t look dirty at a glance but I cleaned her entire body with Clean .
Pionia bowed to me with her expressionless face .
Although they have the same expressionless face, I could tell when Haru was happy from her swinging tail but I truly didn’t know what Pionia was thinking .
“May I borrow Neete for a while?”
“Hn? Are there any other tasks?”
“Affirmative . To attend to our visitor . ”
“Visitor? Who?”
“G.o.ddess Minerva has come to visit . ”
“Minerva-sama!?”
I left the dishes and cleaned Neete and my body before heading to where Minerva-sama was .
A long black-haired beautiful woman was pouring something into a washbasin .
“Waaa! Minerva-sama, stop stop! What are you planning to do?”
” … Do you know there will be poisonous gas produced when you mix two types of detergents? I wonder if I can die comfortably with that . ”
Minerva-sama seemed to have taken detergent from my item box on her own accord and poured two types of detergents into the washbasin .
But …
“Erm, I don’t think any poisonous gas will be produced if you mix the same type of detergent . ”
I wasn’t very sure but I believe poisonous gas is only produced when you mix with chlorinated bleach .
And either way, even if poisonous gas is produced, we were outdoors so it wouldn’t be dangerous .
Perhaps she read my mind (G.o.ddess-samas can really read minds), Minerva-sama smoothly stopped doing what she was doing .
“I guess I was mistaken . ”
No, you weren’t mistaken .
She was the G.o.ddess of Medicine after all .
“Ara? I am a failure as the G.o.ddess of Medicine . ”
… I knew they could read minds . Please stop reading my mind .
“Even in professional baseball, there are fourth batters who don’t get a home run at all, right? It is the same . ”
Please don’t use that example . There are too many baseball players who I can think fit that description .
“Minerva-sama, we have prepared tea and sweets over there . Please ―”
Pionia said and gestured to the terrace beside the log house which she prepared without me noticing ― seriously when did she prepare that!? It wasn’t there this morning! All right, I led Minerva-sama over .
Pancake was served with the tea .
“It’s tasty … I’m not allowed to make my own food so I can only have others cook for me like this . ”
I thought to myself that it was as I expect from Minerva-sama to not be allowed to make food instead of not being able to make food .
Neete silently poured the tea .
I was just thinking that she was doing work that suited her attire but now she updated my impression in just a few minutes .
“Did Pionia-chan make this pancake?”
“Negative . This pancake was made by Master . ”
“Eh? Is that so, Suke-kun?”
“Suke-kun!? Eh? Ah, yes . ”
That was the first time I was called Suke-kun .
“The curry was good, the pancake is good too, Suke-kun likes cooking? Do you want to become my private chef?”
“I respectfully decline . ”
I would be troubled if she tries to commit suicide every time she fails her cooking — I would normally be honored to do so but I declined her invitation .
