It Seems I Came to Another World, Now What Should I Do

I went to the adventurers’ guild to check if there are any changes to the completion fee .
I looked into the request form and I confirmed that the completion fee for the request to gather Vua.s.s gra.s.s has not changed .
In the future, if I were to live in the village I will have to do some miscellaneous tasks up to a certain point, and there’s also a need to interact with the villagers, but for now, the main objective is to gather up the main foundation for living .

Since it’s still early in the morning, I can see a lot of people that have the same profession as me . Maybe it is because I’m a newcomer that I can feel their gazes pointed at me .
To be honest, there is a high chance that it is because I am an overweight old man, so it should be fine if they don’t mind me that much . 1
As far as I can see in the lists, there are no requests with a high efficiency of completion . Well, for now, I’ll leave before something troublesome happens .

While walking towards the northern forest, with the future in mind, I started to think about Lizatia .
It was a great step knowing that Lizatia and I can be together and create a family .

Actually, If I ever asked if she’s my type, it is indeed she’s my type 100% . 2
My Northern European Pretty Girl folder is on fire . 3No, they’re not pretty little girls . There’s no lolicon attribute . 4 It’s better if she’s someone more endowed . 5

After that, I think of my past and the discussion about the return . To be honest, I have to talk about this . This is not something that I can hide from them forever .

「Haa…… Stomach, bundle up……」67

A 180 degrees turn and I went back to Asuto’s house .

「Ara? Welcome back . Did you forget something?」

I told Tishia that I am thinking of making today’s dinner .

「That’s fine, but…… Did something happen?」

「It’s a bliss that the wife’s cooking is delicious, but wouldn’t it be amazing if the husband’s cooking is also delicious?」

「Ara? Ara ara .  I see, so, that’s your plan .  Wakarimas.h.i.ta . 」

She started to grin like a Cheshire cat .

「I will buy some ingredients but, could you tell me what ingredients here I can use?」

「Eeh~8 It’s fine for you to use

these . 」

There were flour and goat b.u.t.ter9, salt, pepper, vinegar, and dried rosemary .

「Do you eat fish?」

「There are only a few opportunities to try fish because we usually eat what prey we hunt, but they do like them . 」

For now, the main menu’s decided . Because there is no sugar, I will buy it later .

「Well then, I will be off . 」

「Hai hai . Dinner, I will be looking forward to it . 」

She saw me off while smiling .

Well then, let’s pump up my motivation .

I arrived at the swampy place I visited yesterday .
When I went to confirm the goblin’s remnants, all I saw was the leftovers10 and almost only skeleton can be seen .

「With this the concealment is all good . 」11

I started to use『Identify』-sensei promptly, and with its help, I gathered up Vua.s.s gra.s.s .
While pulling here and there, I started to think about tonight . To be honest, after the divorce, I have never thought of marriage .
The reason for my divorce was, because I got inflicted with ED . 1213
It was something psychogenic, I thought if it’s alright for someone ugly like myself to defile my wife, and after getting such ideas it just stopped rising . 14
Ultimately, the divorce came from my wife herself, and I accepted it . 15
I am not confident in myself . 16 Also, thinking that it might happen again, the desire for marriage goes away .
But, there is a part of me that wants to change . It’s my first time to have pure love directed at me .

While thinking about that, I reached 150 pieces .
I have been working for 3 hours, but I only felt a little fatigue .
After putting 30 bundles inside the bag, I left the forest .
I proceeded south while consciously paying attention to the surroundings . I was able to reach the exit without anything happening .
I ate the lunch that Tishia gave me, and took a break .

「I didn’t see a goblin today . 」

I didn’t feel any signs of animals or demons . I headed to the village while thinking that there are such days .

I entered the guild and went to the appraisal counter . Today’s receptionist is the same as yesterday’s .

「Vua.s.s gra.s.s desu ne .  Please let me confirm it . Please wait a moment . 」

He finished

finished appraising it after around 15 minutes .

「The completion fee will be, since there are 30 bundles of Vua.s.s gra.s.s, it’ll be 24,000 Wars . Is it fine?」

「Hai . Onegaishimasu . 」

「Dewa, may I have your card?」

He processed it with the reader .

「The registration has completed . There is no change to your rank this time . Since the number of achievements is 51, it will be returned . 17」18

Will I rank up after 100 achievements?

「Yesterday as well, I was surprised, I would appreciate your continued support in the future . 」

I received 4 pieces of 5000 Wars coins, and 4 pieces of 1000 Wars coins .

After a brief greeting, I left the guild .
I went to the bar . They also seem to sell liquor . 1920

「Ira.s.shai . Are you here for meals?」21

It looks like this man that’s around 50s is the master of this bar .

「Iya, I would like to buy a takeout bottle . Do you have any good white wine here?」

「No more stock for white, are you fine with red?」

「Can I have a taste of it?」

The barmaster pours lightly on to a shallow cup .
After drinking some, hmm, it’s quite thin . Maybe it’s a picket? However, the taste itself was fine .

「This bottle is fine . Also, I would like to ask for a stronger one in a cup . 」

「Well then, here . 」

The red wine poured was free from stagnation, and it was solid . 22

「This one is good . Can you put it in a small bottle?」

「Everything will be 3000 Wars . 」

I gave him a 5000 Wars coin and received two 1000 Wars coins . 23

「Thanks, come again . 」

After the bar, I went to the fish store .
Rainbow trout…… Was there .

「Can I have three of that rainbow trout there?」

「It’ll be 600 Wars . 」

「I would like them to be sliced into three parts, is it possible for me to ask that?」

「Okay, please wait a moment . 」

From scaling, they even did the sc.r.a.ping the meat from the bones . 24

「Well here you go . 」

I gave them one 1000 Wars coins, and received four 100 Wars coins . 25

「Arigathanks gozaimuch」

After the fish store, I went to the greengrocer .  26
They have carrots, and also cauliflower .

「Can I have 1 whole cauliflower and a carrot?」

「It’ll be 400 Wars in total . 」

I pa.s.sed four 100 Wars coins .

「Thanks for your shopping . 」

Finally, I went to

went to the general store . For some reason, only they have sugar and not any other store .

「I want some sugar . 」

「Around how much?」

「How much is it at the smallest scaling?」

「It’ll be like this . 」

It was around the half the size of the sugar jug which I often find in a coffee shop .

「How much?」

「It’ll be 5000 Wars」

As expected sugar is expensive .
I pa.s.sed 5000 Wars coin .

「Thank you very much . I am looking forward to your next visit . 」

Since I’ve finished my shopping, I went back to Asuto’s house .

「I’m back . 」

「Welcome home .  Otsukaresamades.h.i.ta . 」

「I will borrow your kitchen . 」

I start a fire in the stove .
I poured plenty of water in the pot and boiled it .
In the meantime, I processed the carrot and the cauliflower .
As soon as the water started to boil, I threw in the carrot .
I check if the carrot has softened by poking and when it is ready I put in the cauliflower .

At the same time, I seasoned the rainbow trout with salt, pepper, and rosemary, then applied flour .
I put a piece of b.u.t.ter in the pan, and then start frying the rainbow trout beginning with the skin side down .
I fried with high heat, then flipped it over after lowering the heat . I poured the oil back on the fish using my spoon . 27

As soon as the color of cauliflower became vivid, I threw away the hot water and added salt, sugar, and b.u.t.ter then mix on low heat to the extent that it will not burn .

By the time the rainbow trout is done, two people came back home .
It seems there was a wild boar caught in a trap, and just by looking at their luggage I can tell that this one was bigger than the one that we caught before .

「This time’s prey was a once in a while big game . 」

Asuto said so in a good mood .

「Ah . What a great smell . Mom, are you making the dinner already?」

Lizatia said so while smelling .

「Fufufu . Today’s dinner is being made by Akihiro-san . 」

As expected, Tishia’s grinning .

「Eh? Akihiro-san, are you in the kitchen!?」

It seems she was really surprised .
Aah, maybe it’s not in their culture for a man to be in the kitchen .
I placed the/>I placed the rainbow trout on a plate .

I poured in the red wine in the just emptied pan, flushed alcohol with a high heat, put some salt and vinegar, and boiled it .
When the liquid has evaporated to one thirds of before, I poured it onto the rainbow trout .
And then the rainbow trout is garnished with carrot and cauliflower .

As for the bread, I used the leftover Roggenbrot and arranged it .
I poured the Picket into the cups and readied the table .  28

After making sure everyone has taken their seat, I opened my mouth .

「I have something to tell you before the meals . 」29

I took a deep breath, made a game face, and faced Asuto .

「I came across a clue on how to solve the problem that we talked about the other day . As for the income, I think that there are no more problems . I would like to be in a relationship with Ojousan with marriage in mind . Could you allow me?」30

After making a blank face, Asuto started to smile .

「There are no problems on this side . From now on, we will be in your care . 」

Looking at Lizatia, she was looking at me with a bright red face .

「Saa, let’s celebrate . Those are Akihiro-san’s dishes, so let’s eat before it gets cold . 」

We started eating after Tishia said so .

「What is this, Both carrots and cauliflower are sweet…… And the moment you bite into it, the Umami comes out like juwaajuwaa…… What is this?」

Lizatia said so while smiling .

「Rather than that…… This rainbow trout . The crispiness is bliss . Above all, this sauce . It has the fragrance of the b.u.t.ter and a tint of acidity . 」

Asuto continues eating while making a surprised face .

「It’s a surprise isn’t? I haven’t eaten such a dish . Thinking that Liz can eat a dish like this from now on is making me envious . 」

Tishia said so while grinning and started to poke on Lizatia .

It seems the surprise dinner is successful .
While I was surrounded by a warm dining table31, thinking that from now on they will be my family is making my heart warm .
I’m sure we will be able to build a happy family . 32 That’s what I decided in my heart . And I made up my mind .
