Chapter 493: Seafood Ramen and Shipwreck<hr>
The next day, I ate breakfast prepared by Kayo and the twins. This is something I don''t get living alone.
On the other hand, fighting over the TV is something that living alone doesn''t have. Then Kayo-nee told me about everyone''s ss change. In summary, here is what I found out.
Mel: Imperial Guard Holy Knight
Lisa: Shihandai
Mirai: Princess
Yuuko: Ruin Knight
Rekka: Sage
Chiffon: Princess Knight
Miranda: Great Swordsman
Arleigh: Hero
Mangetsu, Keigo: Imperial Guard
Rook: Spirit Summoner
Tyrol: Favor Summoner
Reppuu: Top ss Summoner
Raiden: Dragon Master
Yoichi: Sniper
Tristan: High Hunter
Tesshin: Warlord
Spearman: Iron Steel Cavalryman
What an amazing lineup! I''d like to make a lot ofments, such as Mel being a knight with the samest name as myself, Chiffon being a princess knight and Tesshin being a warlord. Let''s hear from Mel and the others for now.
All the holy knights of the Kingsguard are support type knights. They buff everyone and can attack themselves. The difference between me and the rune knight is that my attribute is fixed to the holy attribute, but the ruin knight can freely switch between attributes and it seems to go very well with the magic sword"
"What is the difference between Chiffon and the princess knight?"
"The buff effect of the princess knight is greater than that of the ruin knight. The firepower of the special move seems to be better than mine"
Is Princess Sarah''s special move less powerful? No, it seems to be an original technique, so maybe it''s not.
"I specialize in meleebat. I can use wave motion and air bullets, but I think my selling point is the abundance of techniques I can use inbat. I am confident that I can beat Nii-chan in a fight!"
What''s sad is that I have to fight with a Shihandai.
"...I specialize in recovery plus buffing. My sister is in charge of buffing attacks and I''m in charge of other buffs. It''s like I''m invincible for a certain amount of time or something"
Isn''t that foul? But Miki is there, so Kayo-nee chose to be a Kingsguard Holy Knight. Keigo''s kingsguard is still specialized in defense. I think Mel''s kingsguard is wrong, but I won''t say anything.
I had a sage in Rekka, too. I heard that she chose the special sage over the great mage.
However, it seems that everyone is still in the middle of their quests.
"I''m training with Pdin Road...I have to beat the Pdin Road''s knights 100 times to be a Pdin Lord. And if I lose, I have to start all over again from the beginning...haa"
"Kayo-neechan, you''re good. I''ve been in fistfights all my life!"
"...I fight with princesses from all over the world. But I''m falling behind with Princess Henri"
Princess Henri is very strong. Chiffon''s opponent is probably Princess Sarah. Well, I want everyone to do their best.
My n for today is to restore the port town of Blumen. Yesterday''s hot pot had an unexpectedly strong response. Since we''re here, let''s advertise other dishes today.
That''s part of doing business! So today I prepared rice and headed for the port town of Blumen.
"Oh! You''re here! Good luck today. With your help, we should have something tangible this afternoon"
There were plenty of stones ready to go. Lily and the others were well prepared.
"I understand"
The same members of the team as yesterday were working hard to carry them out. I was about to start cooking when I saw an acquaintance.
It was Charam-san, a guild member and cook who is aiming to open a ramen shop. He is setting up a store in a traveling food stand made by Yug-san.
But even though it is a ramen shop, there are no customers. I thought ramen would sell like hot pot in this game world, but was I wrong?
"Is something wrong?"
"Guildmaster...actually, the ramen I made was not well received"
Well...that''s tough.
"Can I have one? I''ll pay you"
"Thank you! ...Hey! Wait! Seafood ramen"
He suddenly chose a difficult ramen. I looked at the ramen served to me. What is this? I''ll give it a try.
<b>Seafood Ramen: Rarity 7, Cooking, Quality C-</b>
<b><i>Effect: 100% fullness recovery, 1-hour agility up (extreme)</i></b>
<b><i>This soy sauce ramen uses plenty of seafood. The taste of seafood soaks into the soup and it has a terrific seafood aroma.</i></b>
Squid, octopus, shrimp and scallops are contained in the soy sauce-based soup. Is it because of the squid and octopus legs? It is difficult to look at...but if it tastes good, people wille.
The scary thing is the smell...it smells horribly like fish. Is it safe to eat? I ate it.
I looked up to heaven. This is the first time I''ve ever had bad tasting ramen.
"No matter how much seafood ramen I eat, this smells too fishy...what do you use for the soup?"
"Eh? Only soy sauce"
I see...he didn''t use any seafood broth even though it is a seafood ramen. And the thin soy sauce vor must have been infused with the fishy squid and octopus vors, resulting in the vor I have here.
"If you want to make seafood ramen, you have to make seafood broth first, right? Can you use powdering?"
"Ah, I can!"
"Then...yes. You can make fish powder from dried bonito kes or dried fish. Scallions are also good. You should experiment with various things and try to make the ideal seafood soup first. You put the powder in the cup noodles first, too, right?"
"In, Indeed!"
A ramen shop owner once told me that the taste of ramen is determined by the soup. That''s why you can''t cut corners on the soup. That is what ramen is all about.
"If you want to add squid and octopus, run them through hot water. It tastes horrible"
"I, I understand!"
After that, I helped him make ramen and here is the finished product.
<b>Seafood Ramen: Rarity 7, Cooking, Quality B</b>
<i><b>Effect: 100% fullness recovery, 2-hours agility up (extreme)</b></i>
<i><b>Soy sauce ramen with seafood broth. Seafood is also used as a topping, allowing you to enjoy the taste of seafood.</b></i>
The description is totally different...let''s try it.
"H, How do you like it?"
"...Try it"
"Eh!? I, Itadakimasu"
Fearfully, Charam-san puts the ramen in his mouth. He was so scared, but he didn''t have to be so cautious.
"Uh...Delicious!"
"It tastes like seafood ramen, doesn''t it?"
"Yes! It''s quintessential! Guildmaster!"
It''s not exactly a masterpiece, though...it''s just a little tweaked, that''s all.
"Well, then. Good luck with the store. Try not to keep the customers waiting too long, okay?"
"Eh? Ah"
Before he knew it, the customers had gathered. That''s the advantage of a ramen stall...the smell of ramen is a direct advertisement.
"Ah, thank you! Wee!"
I''ve been keeping an eye on him for a bit, but he seems to be doing okay...and he seems to be getting good reviews. The seafood soup is especially popr among lizardmen. I guess Charam-san had thought about that too.
I''m going to do my own work. I''m going to cook rice in a rice cooker.
When the rice is cooked, I call Ion and Lian to make onigiri (rice balls).
Many lizardmen stop to watch the scene. Some of the knights also stopped.
"You guys...work!"
The thunder of the master struck. I guess it was a mistake to call Ion and the others.
After that, the rice balls that Ion and Lian made became the men''s war. Mine were very popr with the kids.
Quintessential Guildmaster, no second thoughts
"...If you want a rice ball stuffed with raw frog meat so badly, shall I feed it to you?"
No, thank you!
He ran away...what a troublesome group member.
I logged out for lunch and resumed work after finishing eating.
As I was putting away the rice container, Lian responded.
"What''s wrong?"
"No, the sound of the waves...it feels strange...it''s strange after all! Takuto-senpai!"
This is not normal. Lily was just on the bank, so I asked her.
Lily! Can you see anything from there?
It''s too high!
We head for the breakwater and Lian does a sound search.
"...I found it! It''s over there!"
Where is it? I look closely and see a log. There it is!
Just as I was about to jump out of the water, a harpoon fish jumped out of the water. Oh no, I had forgotten about these guys.
"Haaaaa!"
Ion took care of the harpoon fish.
"Thank God...thank you. Ion"
"It''s not like you, Takuto-san. Don''t be in a hurry. Let''s go"
The three of us headed out to sea and there we found a broken raft and a person stretched out on a log.
"Hey. Are you okay?"
I was surprised to see a person. The man had a katana at his waist, a light blue haori hakama and the word Makoto on his back.
"...I''m hungry"
Hungry again! Give me back my excitement!<hr>
