I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 1796: Rest for the Hard Worker ⑤

Chapter 1796: Rest for the Hard Worker ⑤


I’m late going home today due to overtime, so today’s chapter will be short.
I head to the cottage’s kitchen with Anima. While we’re nearing dinner time at the moment, I don’t plan to make anything too elaborate, so I would like to make something simple that I could cut corners with.
Last time I went fishing with Anima, we had a fish dish, so this time, I thought about having something different this time. As I tried recalling what was in my magic box, I remembered something.
[Come to think of it, have you had soba before, Anima?]
[Soba? If I’m not mistaken, I heard it was famous in Rigforeshia, but they’re not very common, so I haven’t had the opportunity to try it.]
[As I thought…… Noodles other than pasta hadn’t really become famous to the populace after all.]
Ramen and soba do exist in this world. I’ve seen ramen being served at the Six Kings Festival, and as for soba, Fors-san cultivates them, and just as Anima mentioned, it’s widely cultivated in Rigforeshia.
According to Kuro’s Eating Tour in its Entirety Guide, it seems there’s a soba-like shop in Symphonia Kingdom’s Royal Capital, but since it’s quite far from my home, I haven’t been there.
[Let’s have soba then…… For the time being, try taking a bite, and if you don’t like the taste, you’re free to eat something else. There’s no need to force yourself, okay?]
[Understood. However, Master…… Is that soba food something that can be prepared quickly?]
[Yeah, I actually received a lot of buckwheat flour from Fors-san…… since what Alice turned into noodles for me before is in my magic box, all I need to do is boil them.]
Making use of buckwheat flour…… or perhaps, they got some soba fruit here? In any case, Fors-san cultivates soba, and as a thank you for helping her out at the Six Kings Festival, I received a large amount of buckwheat flour.
Of course, I don’t have the flour slapping technique the professionals have, so Alice prepared the noodles for me and I could have them ready just by boiling them in water. I also have Alice’s notes on how to boil them, so I should be able to make them well.
[Eating soba alone would be a bit plain, so let’s lightly sauté some chicken as well. Let’s use this……]
[That is…… fumu? It has a refreshing and citrusy aroma…… Hmm? I can’t tell what fruit this is.]
[It’s yuzu kosho. Yuzu is a fruit from my world and it has a good affinity with chicken meat.]
[I see! As expected of Master, to possess such a rare item!]
[A- Ahaha, no, this is something Kaori-san had given me……. Well, that aside, let’s make this. Anima, can you chop the chicken meat into bite-sized pieces?]
[Understood! Please leave it to me!]
While Anima was chopping the chicken meat, I boiled water and prepared to boil the soba noodles. For the time being, I can just follow Alice’s memo, so I don’t have to worry.
Fumu fumu, so these are what soba noodles look like while uncooked huh……
The cooking…… well, it’s just boiling soba and sautéing chicken meat with yuzu kosho, so the cooking itself was done quickly. For now, since Anima mentioned this is her first time trying soba, let’s have her take a bite.
[……I see, it has a nice aroma, doesn’t it? However, this tastes rather bland.]
[Yeah, they’re actually eaten with noodle soup. Right now, I just wanted you to sample it, so I asked you to eat some as is.]
[Fumu, I see……]
[Since Anima seems fine with it, I’ll transfer them to the colander…… Alright, it’s done.]
Although it would be great if we have some tempura or something along with these, frying tempura might be a bit challenging for me…… While I’ve learned some cooking from Sieg-san, anything not in her repertoire is unknown to me, so properly frying tempura isn’t something I know how to do.
Alice would easily know how to do it, while Kaori-san would undoubtedly be able to make it too, so I should probably learn how to make some simple dishes from them sometime.

Serious-senpai : [Alright, soba…… doesn’t seem like they’d be able to feed each other or any lovey-dovey tropes like that.]
? ? ? : [Couldn’t they just do that with the chicken meat?]
Serious-senpai : […………….]
