Watashi Ga Betsu No Sekai De Umarekawatta
4-6: Towards Duke Castle
Why is this happening...?
"Same chevalier.we're done peeling the skin udan..."
"Ahh... Not like that, you have to cover it with the flour of the grain..."
"Are we really going to use these leaves...?"
"Yes.please wash the perilla with water... "
Lina, Tiane and I frantically made tempura with the Duke's chef in the Duke's castle kitchen...
This was a few hours before...
"Chevalier alike.a messenger came from the Duke's castle.. "
Shelna San told me while looking like she saw something heartwarming...
Right now I'm playing doll dress up by Totona under the pretext of fitting session for the ball...
"Did you make an appointment...?"
"No. My plan today is just to attend the party at the castle from tonight..."
The one waiting in the room was the duke's castle consul adjutant or not, it was the assistant who took note behind that time...
He said that Duke wanted to meet me in secret...
In secret...
In other words, this must have been about the matter with the prince yesterday...
It shouldn't be possible because of Miss Sera...
Even if Miss Ringrande makes a fuss over the misunderstanding, Miss Sera is still the miko of the Tenion temple...
Her name was also not Sera Oyugock, but [Sera], she was probably the so-called nun...
Just in case, I asked about the subject to the envoy, but he did not know the details...
For now, I will have Tiane come with me to the castle...
"Tiane..."
We were wearing the same maid uniform as the maid in Muno castle...
"we're going to the castle, so let them go... "
Me and Tiane changed from maid outfits to somewhat formal outfits for Tiane and my clothes as usual with black stockings above the knees...
I'm glad that the messenger was on another train...
"It was written in Leon's letter that Miss Secilia was not only proficient in swordsman ship and magic, but also in cooking... "
Who else is Leon...
Ohh right. That's Baronet Muno's name if I'm not mistaken...
I wonder what he wrote in the letter...
We're in the same room I met with Duke, a few days ago...
Today, not only are there secret bodyguards around, miss Ringrande is also here...
"Fuhn... swordsman ship mukemarin quite good, but you can also use magic, yes..."
"Other times when I train you, I will have the combined techniques of swordsmanship and magic... "
"Rin... "
"Ara.. I'm sorry, grandpa..."
According to information from Shelna san, it seems that the Duke scolded his granddaughter, Miss Ringrande...
I also got the bonus information that was told to the Duke's third son who had kidnapped Sera because of [Wings of Liberty] , is currently under house arrest under the guise of healing at one of the spires...
Confirming the members of the [Wings of Liberty], except for the people who had gathered in the Earl Bobi mansion and fled to the outskirts of the city, were imprisoned in the dungeon under the castle...
"So, I want you to show your cooking skills for tonight's party..."
"I don't know what the same Baronet has described in relation to my cooking, but I'm only good at making foods suitable for the palate plebian, such as for high-class dishes... "
"In hindsight, Sera has praised your cooking as well, you must have won her favor with your cooking, right..."
"Rin... Get out of here if you want to fight with a guest..."
"I'm sorry, grandfather, it was not on purpose..."
Duke looked like he couldn't match her, he looked glum...
"I don't mean you to make every meal at a banquet... "
"I don't mind if you just make a dish called Tempura that Leon wrote..."
"Then, I'll try to meet Duke's expectations equally though less than satisfactory..."
I couldn't afford to talk about the third prince's matter yesterday, but it would be best for me to get a good impression from the Duke...
I didn't think of making him my ally, but at least I didn't want to make enemies out of him...
I don't care if the third prince wants to attack me, but it will be troublesome if he meddles with my comrade...
"You're a good miss there, I just got the right idea to develop it..."
Tiane, why are you saying it like a subordinate...
"Say as usual..."
"It's okay, right, just for a second... "
Summarizing Tiane's advice, they were ideas he got from the dishes on the manga...
I decided to choose something that could really be made out of that idea and put it into practice...
I was led into the kitchen by a maid, this became a battlefield for the people who were getting ready for tonight...
"Oh, you, no, err... "
"You're the Nobles they're over-the-top calling miracle chefs, right...?"
This was the first time I heard that nickname...
Still, he tried too hard to use polite language...
"I'm sorry, our boss is skilled, but he's not good at talking, he can't speak polite language well..."
I-i understand...
"It's nice to meet you, I'm Secilia... "
"It's OK for you to speak as you normally would if you're bad with polite language..."
When I said so, the head chef and the chef who followed him clearly looked relieved...
"Ohh sorry about that... "
"I'm an old friend of Head Chef at Gururian Viceroy's, you know... "
"She sent me a letter praising you..."
Ahh...
When I got some free time the day after the banquet, I made him teach me how to make sauces and various techniques...
"Use this place, it's a bit cramped, but there are all kinds of cooking utensils available..."
"Both of these are in charge of various tasks, call them if you need the ingredients... "
"Yes, thank you for everything... "
I asked a messenger boy to the mansion to call Lina here...
Recently, Lina and Tiane's cooking skill had become the same as an expert, so if Lina and Tiane who knew how to cook me came, it would really help...
I prepared three kinds of dishes...
The first was tempura as requested by the Duke...
The fried foods in this world were mostly fried in oil made from animal, but since it looked bad for the body, I used the oil from a salad that resembled a vegetable...
I can make a better tempura sauce than usual because there is katsuoboshi in the warehouse of materials belonging to the Duke's castle, probably because it can be brought here through the river...
Half the tempura was fried and put on the table and the other half was fried on the spot when someone would eat it with the help of Lina and Tiane and the server standing near the table, that was the plan...
The second is aspic jelly...
It seemed to be a common dish among ordinary people, but it was not something that suited the Nobles' dining table...
Lina suggested to make it from colorful materials so that it looks alive, and I accidentally made her appearance by hand...
Being colorful is one, but there is also another meaning to it...
"Hou..you have perfectly created the emblem of our Duke's house on top of the dish..."
I'm glad that seems well received...
However, since this was the emblem of the family, everyone only admired it and no one put their hands on it...
If the man at the peak of his life who was with Miss Ringrande did not say“Look delicious”, no one would eat it until the end...
I should have thought about the design better...
"Fumu.. This is the first time I have tasted this taste, but it seems like a dish called jelly that has been lost since the era of the ancestor of king Yamato..."
"It's really delicious..."
"It's really, desuwane... "
"This fish is delicious. but this red one is also delicious... "
"Kuh... no matter how good it is, Sera is limitless...."
This guy is so stubborn...
"Hou. she is the woman Rin mentioned, right...."
"It's nice to meet you for the first time... "
"I'm Secilia..."
"Oohs... Eiyuu dono from the defensive battle of Muno city... "
"Toruma is very proud of you..."
"You were also great in the Gururian city that I heard about..."
This man is Ringrande's nyanona father, the next Duke...
After all, Toruma was the cause. “Who's hero”...
Tiane who was crouching under the table said in a low voice, “Toruma is quite good at doing affect.” It seemed like he had cleverly picked up a small plate and enjoyed it...
"Sera is a kind, gentle child, but she doesn't fit into the noble lifestyle... "
"In addition, he was currently leaving the Duke's house for the temple... "
I explained myself normally to the next Duke, and the misunderstanding cleared up...
I hope Miss Ringrande follows her example...
"Hou... have you changed your job from a long-distance hero to a servant...?"
The third prince appeared wearing clothes like a young Noble while talking ominously...
Today, he had only brought the holy knight at the peak of his life, the battle maniac boy did not seem to be here...
There was no need for him to come here on purpose, what a troublesome thing to do...
"Prince, he's my father's favorite..."
"My father and I are also fans of his cooking..."
When I was thinking how to deal with the prince who came to fight, the next Duke threw the lifeboat...
It seems that the prince only saw Miss Ringrande and me, he looked surprised when he saw the next Duke after he called the prince...
As expected, his opponent was too bad, the prince looked troubled...
He gave the V sign with his little hand...
"Your Highness Sharlick..."
"Please tell us about the royal capital here by all means... "
A woman with somewhat thick makeup appeared after she pushed her way through the crowd and invited the prince...
The prince took advantage of this, said his farewell without commitment and went in the direction of the woman...
"Fumu... "
"That's impossible... "
"He hasn't changed in 10 years... "
"If we talk about swordsman ship, he's among the best in Shiga kingdom, but..."
"Yahanda, a person's personality is not worth his strength..."
"If yes, then Masaki was, more..."
Miss Ringrande was about to complain about the hero, but she put her hand on her mouth and regretted her verbal slip...
"Is the Shiga Eight Sword famous...?"
"Are you really the Royal Noble...?"
"I'm sorry, it's because I'm from the countryside..."
As I said, the Shiga Eight Sword is the title given to the eight top swordsmen in the holy knight who is the strongest in the kingdom...
The prince seems to be a candidate to become one, but he has been given permission by the king to wear the royal treasure, the holy sword of Claiomh Solais...
By the way, the favorite staff of the Ancestral King Yamato was used by the upper court mages in the later generations...
It seemed that the reason why the King did not use the holy sword and the staff itself was because Yamato had implemented a system where they could only be used by the right people...
After the next Duke and Miss Ringrande left, the young Nobles who had been watching us from a distance gathered with great interest, they ate the dishes with great pleasure...
They asked about my relationship with Miss Ringrande, but I honestly told them that I had just been trained in the way of the sword by her...
Although the amount of food should be quite a lot, they completely disappear before 30 minutes have passed...
It seems to be a triumph of appeal from fried foods and odd-looking dishes...
"Miss Secilia can I have a minute of your time...?"
Miss Karina came with a male escort...
Although I've said “companiment man”, it's not something ero, he's Karina's younger brother, and Baronet Muno's eldest son, Orion..."
He was a 15-year-old boy studying in the capital Duchy...
And he was my future fiancee who I rejected outright in Muno and turned out to be my age..
"If yes, Karina is the same... "
"I assume that there's the next Baronet..."
"I'm Secilia... "
"Next, nice to see you again... "
I lowered my body slightly and slightly lifted my skirt...
"Your mother.I'm Orion Muno... "
Orion introduced himself while nodding calmly...
He might be at an age where he wants to be seen as someone important with all his might...
He only spoke in a low voice as he said his name, the name given by the hero-loving Varonet might be to blame...
That's unfortunate...
They headed for the dance hall after we had a chat for a while...
Just in case, I advise them to be careful of the prince...
Right at that moment, the dance party finally started in the center of the hall...
I have no intention of making a pass on men because it looks like it will be a rumor in the upper society...
After all, the unmarried women were 13-18 years old, they felt a bit too young...
Since the guests of the young lady have increased, I decided to announce a third dish...
This is a milk crepe, my favorite...
I also added strawberry slices in addition to fresh cream to the crepe since Lina found the strawberries in the food warehouse...
"Well..it smells good, desuwa... "
"It'll be over soon, so please wait a minute..."
I used fresh cream and strawberries on the crepe after it was finished...
Tiane put the finished crepe on the plate...
Grabbing it by hand did not seem good according to the Head chef, so I placed a small fork and knife on it, and gave it to the young noble lady...
The girl's face beamed after she bit the crepe once...
Her face was full of make-up, but only at that moment did it look innocent and appropriate for her age...
The young noble men who saw it tried to invite the girl to dance when she finished eating...
Go, boys and girls...
"Hey wait, don't show me the old man's face... "
Lina said so while eating the little crepe below me...
Isn't that fine, I just cheered them on..
I kept frying the crepe ordered from the girls while not having time to reply to Lina...
There was no one to describe me as an officer, probably because of the expensive-looking clothes I was wearing...
Thanks to that, we introduced ourselves every time I was booked for crepe and I memorized over 100 girl names...
This was the first time I started thinking I should have used a shorter surname...
The ingredients I prepared were all gone, so I asked Lina and Tiane to bring the fresh cream and strawberries that had been cooled in the kitchen here...
"It smells good, doesn't it... "
"I'm sorry, we've used all the ingredients, so please wait half an hour for your turn..."
"Well, it's pretty popular, isn't it..."
When I looked up, there was Head Miko from Tenion temple...
Why...?
"For a long time, Secilia was the same... "
Miss Sera came with him...
There were two arrogant-looking priests from the Parion and Garleon temples behind Head Miko...
Both of them were thin men with white hair...
There were miko girls who were kidnapped with Sera next to him...
We chatted while waiting for Lina and Tiane to return, it seemed like the other two miko were also family relatives of the Duke...
They came from a branch family, unlike Sera who was a direct descendant...
The two were similar because they were relatives, but I could tell them apart easily due to their different black and brown hair...
Looks like the girls came here to congratulate Sera's younger brother, Tisrad, for his marriage...
Since they wanted to meet him before the wedding day, this was a good opportunity today...
Lina and Tiane have returned, so I continue crepe making...
When the crepe entered the mouths of the miko girls, just like the previous noble girls, the faces of the miko changed into the cheerful faces of normal girls...
Sera noticed the noble girls waiting to order crepe because of the miko girls and advised them to shift a little...
The crepe dough disappeared halfway, so I used Freeze Water on the long, narrow melon that Lina brought to make sherbet...
I have practiced doing this with citrus fruits to improve my ability to adjust magic power, so the results are quite good even though the fruit used is different...
Since Lina and Tiane who had eaten all the products failed to experience any stomach ache before, this time I only made a little before ending it...
"Chevalier sama... are you okay dancing with me...?"
I wonder if my face looks easy to invite...
I have been invited by the teenage boys who seem to have just debuted in the upper society since a while ago...
I can dance without any problems thanks to the Society skill. Coincidentally, I got the [Dance] skill...
Some of them kissed my hands covered with gloves...
Some of those who asked me to dance invited me to stop by their house...
Apparently not because I had become popular, Tiane reminded me that it was because they expected me to bring snacks as a gift to visit their home...
I'm not misunderstanding, okay...?
"You're quite popular, aren't you, Secilia is the same..."
"That's not the problem... "
"I was invited to dance as a thank you for a snack..."
"That's not the case..."
Sera stepped...
Although her words contained a few punctures when she first called out to me, then she started giggling...
Miss Ringrande might be in a fuss again, but I can't refuse her invitation...
As expected, calling him by name would be bad...
I felt Lina and Tiane's gaze stab me, even though I couldn't see it from here...
"Sera is the same, miko is also fast enough to be called with [Sama]... "
"Secilia just as well looks very good, but also unexpectedly..."
It had been decided for me to help the Tenion Temple distribute food during our stay because of Sera who was surprisingly good at negotiating...
"Thank you for a delicious snack today... "
"Please get along well with Sera, okay..."
Head Miko dropped the bomb in a low voice while leaving...
"I'll keep it a secret that night, so don't worry... "
"You look so cute behind a mask... "
Why it was blown up...
"For your voice... "
Lina said so while looking dumbfounded...
But well, the level and the name are completely different, it would probably be fine even if I kept pretending not to know...
Head miko looks like she just whipped me...
Lina who was called by the head chef came back...
He was invited to work there...
With Head hunting like that, I can't let my guard down the old men...
We were allowed to leave because the Duke family had left, but the dance still continued and we could hear the music from here...
