Ore no Ongaeshi: High Spec Murazukuri

A borrower on the outskirts of the village of Uld, I wake up before the sun rises.

"In the morning..."

Make sure your stuff is in good shape when you wake up. There are no particular abnormalities in or around the room, and my health is good.

"Well, suppose I make it for breakfast too"

Having checked the street, I head to the outdoor cooking area to cook breakfast. Behind this rented bungalow is an outdoor type of cooking area.

Draw water in the village creek taught by the village girl Risha, load it under the bungalow and put the dried firewood (maki) into a kiln. Food distressed villages, but water and fuel were abundant due to the proximity of the lake and forests.

"Now light the fire."

Add water to the pan and ignite the firewood.

Of course, I don't use lighters that are consumables. It's a flash of metal matches for the survival I'm used to.

We cannot rely on lighters, which are consumables, to live in this less civilized world from now on.

"Well, for now, one big raven (Vic Rabbit) would be fine, he said, this size"

The next step is to dismantle the rabbit.

My guts and blood had been drained yesterday. It is the same in this world that it stinks if it is not treated immediately after it is finished. All you have to do is peel the fur off (ha) and make it meat and bone so it's easy to eat.

"Fur was precious, I guess."

Girl Risha's story meant that the fur of the Great Rabbit (Vic Rabbit) could be bartered in the village. Think about the future and take care to peel (ha) gu.

The story is that some of the old men in the village are specialized tanneries, so I'll give them to them later and exchange them for the necessary supplies.

"Now, suppose we cook the rest with salt and vanilla (herbs)"

Season and heat in kiln with spices and salt on the thighs of the dismantled ravioli (Vic Rabbit).

Pack and see is a barbecue in nature.

"Smells good, Big Rabbit meat."

Perhaps baking and eating meat from wild beasts is one of the first ways a person awakens to civilization can cook. A common method of cooking both on Earth and in different worlds.

The scent of wild gravy stimulates my appetite.

"Oops, you're making soup too."

I heard guts and water boiling. Check your own soup boiling and simmering the water.

I used to make a lot of soup in this pan.

It is simmering with mountain vegetables, mushrooms and herbs, so it smells and looks good. By the way, the fact that these mountain vegetables and mushrooms are non-toxic has been confirmed by the local girl Risha.

At first, I also lightly checked and confirmed that this was non-toxic.

Raised by self-proclaimed adventurer parents, I had special abilities. One of them is this poisonous sensation.

Simply put, if you squirm lightly, you will know if there is poison. It's like a prediction from a young experience. Well, when I was little, I remember I often failed and suffered.

"And fungi and mountain vegetables are similar to those on Earth... here"

Mountain vegetables and mushrooms in the pan had very similar shapes.

That's how I realized yesterday when I checked with Liesha on her way back to the village. I was surprised to see an unexpected beast called the Great Rabbit, but the trees and grass in the woods are normal.

Plus the Great Rabbit (Vic Rabbit) was a normal beast when I actually dismantled it. Aside from having sharp fangs and causing harm to people with giants, the location of the gut and body tissue are also very similar to Japanese rabbits.

It's really weird.

"Now, let's eat meat after it's cooked."

By this time, the area had become completely bright in the morning sun. Cooking smoke is also visible from the centre of the village of Uld.

This is true in the outdoors, but the cycle of time is fast in these primitive lives. Everyone wakes up before the sun rises and prepares for the morning, before the sun sets, we have dinner and when it gets dark, we go to bed.

This early sleep early wake would be a cycle of naturally produced organisms.

"All right, I'm not so bad with flavor."

Cut off the outside of the roasted thigh with a knife and taste.

The meat of the Great Rabbit is quite delicious, full of wild flavors. After finishing the taste, it will be served on an outdoor dish. Finish preparing your meal by serving the mountain vegetable mushroom soup in a cup.

"This is a delightful breakfast..."

From the thighs of the wild Great Rabbit (Vic Rabbit), the aromatic smell of spices and gravy burning stimulates the nostrils. It looks juicy and really delicious many times more than the rabbit meat I've had in this world.

Forest-style soup also has a lot of dashi and just an irresistible aroma. The nutrients of the thick forest will be immersed in mushrooms and mountain vegetables from the earth. This also seems many times as delicious as Japan's mountain delights.

"Well, suppose you do. But before that..."

As I tried to eat my long-awaited breakfast, I turned my gaze around.

"Why don't you guys show up soon?"

I speak toward the signs of someone who was in the shadows of this surrounding area. There was a shadow of this cooking scent.

"I'm sorry, brother..."

"Because it smelled so delicious..."

"Welcome......"

It was the children of the village who were hiding and watching. Skinny (yah) boys and girls who talked to me intrigued yesterday.

"I knew I couldn't... I'm sorry, I just..."

Even though the mayor was strict enough to stay away from me, the guest, they couldn't bear to come hungry.

"There is nothing to be confused about. I've been waiting for you guys."

I speak to the children. Laugh as much as you can.

And explain. He said he was daring to cook fragrant dishes to attract children who would be hungry.

"What... what does that mean..."

The children don't know what I mean by words, and they hang their necks.

"Now, is there anyone in here who can dismantle the beast meat?

But I don't mind asking questions. We have a lot of people ahead of us.

"Yeah, if that's about it..."

"Okay, then help me"

Several children of good stature come up with names. Let them do the dismantling of the rest of the Great Rabbit (Vic Rabbit) meat.

"Next time bring the guy with the big pot at home. The others are ready for water and firewood."

"What... yeah"

"All right, let's hurry!

The kids nod honestly, wondering at my sudden instructions. He doesn't seem to understand what the hell is going on.

But there was no food, and there was no work to do at this hour, and they followed my instructions with their necks shut.

◇

Then the dish was finished some time later.

"Okay, it tastes good. Everybody get together."

In front of the big pot I could, I speak to the children. The big pot is something I borrowed from Risha that I stopped using in the village.

Reesha, worried about something, was also rushing to the spot.

"Yamato... what the hell is this..."

The girl Risha comes to visit with her neck tilted.

In any case, the contents of the large pot are considerable.

I dismantled several large ravens (Vic Rabbit) that I had ownership of with the children and simmered them in a large pot with mountain vegetables and mushrooms.

I can't help but wonder what the hell she's going to do.

"This is a fifth pot that digests well and accumulates in my stomach."

"Ogaku Hot Pot............"

Naming is subtle because there are no various seasonings. But Dashi came out of the ingredients well enough, and the aroma of stimulating hunger filled the area.

When I was young, I tried to imitate the dishes my parents made in the open air.

"All right, let's serve it up next. Everybody help."

Speak to the children staring at the large pot as they drool their yodales. I'm running out of time, so I need you to get ready for breakfast.

"What... us too...?

"But this is your brother's food..."

The children were surprised.

Because in this situation of food distress, travelers who are outsiders were not thinking about distributing that food.

"Thank you for every meal we had last night. Bring the other children."

"I don't know the hard word... but yeah, I get it! Brother Yamato!"

"All right, I'll get everyone!

"Hey, I'm going to serve it from the little ones because it's hot!

More and more dishes are divided into deep wooden dishes gathered from all over the village.

Sometimes I used all the meat from a large large large raven (Vic Rabbit), which is quite voluminous. Other forest delights and cereals will also inhale the juice and accumulate in the belly.

"This is for Mr. Riesha."

"What, my..."

"I guess you put up with that body"

"Yes... thank you so much, Yamato..."

I hand the wood dishes to Riesha, who is about the age girl but has made her skinny (or).

Children from all over the village gather to prepare their meals.

"All right, guys. Listen before you eat."

I speak as slowly as possible in polite terms. Look around at the faces of the boys and girls holding a wooden dish with cooking that looks important with both hands.

From the mouth of the children is already dazed, and whoever falls sauce and listens seriously to my words.

"Is this village in trouble for something to eat?

"Yeah......"

"From that day on, every hard day..."

The children nod to my inquiry.

Mouth the bad lord that with his parents, he suffers from poverty by being collected most of his food.

"If I eat that rice, my belly does swell today. But tomorrow, it's gone."

Tell children who wait patiently before eating.

Though the Great Rabbit (Vic Rabbit) is a big beast, it will be gone in no time if eaten by this number of people.

"From what I've heard, there will be severe winters soon. What will you do then? Are you going to starve to death in the cold?

It may be a harsh word, but this is reality.

As I found out after spending the night, the situation in which this village is located is quite harsh.

It will be possible for this village on the shores of the lake to survive in spite of the lake's river fish and mountain grass for some time.

But it is tough to survive the harsh winter that comes after being collected from preserved foods such as cereals and dried meat.

"We don't want to die..."

"I want to live more..."

The children would have noticed the reality as well. He turns down and darkens his expression, and even the sobbing begins to come out.

Boys and girls who are still below elementary school age in Japan. Everyone wants to live dreaming of their bright future.

Then I'll teach you how to live.

"What..."

"But your brother is a traveler, so he said he would leave the village immediately..."

Everyone shouts surprises at my exact words. If you normally think about it, you can't even pay a gratuity, and there's nothing left to gain in this village on the border.

"Except you don't have to work, you don't eat."

"I don't have to work...?

"Oh. We'll have dinner tomorrow, and if you want to survive, it means work... Only those who are prepared to eat this pot"

I ask everyone here, quoting Japanese words.

Even small children are bound to work to survive. There will also be tight jobs and life-threatening jobs for lack of adults.

Can you still really swear you guys want to survive? Ask whether you can proclaim it against yourself, not against a believing God or anyone else.

Everyone can't shut their mouth and answer too harshly.

"... I'll do my job!

"I'll do it too!

"Me too!

But in the next moment, the voices of the children will be raised one after the other. The voice eventually spreads to everyone who was on this occasion and becomes the sound of one will.

"My guidance is tough, isn't it?

"It's okay! We'll do our best!

"I'd rather live in pain than die doing nothing!

The children have also consolidated their resolve to my strict final confirmation.

Being in the village like this won't do us any good. If we can help ourselves. If you can mouth a meal with that, you can do whatever you want.

"Okay. Then I'll have it and eat it."

"Would you like it?... Yeah, I get it! I'll have it!"

"I'll have it!

"I'll have it too!

In imitation of my unique Japanese words of gratitude, the children greet each other one after the other to begin their meals.

How hungry he would have been. Everyone starts eating well.

"Eat properly. My stomach pukes in surprise."

My stomach gets smaller and I can't digest it without a decent meal. The pan can be simmered tenderly and digested, but let drink at least thirty times, just in case.

"Brother Yamato, we can only count to ten."

"Then count ten times three. That makes thirty."

"I see! Yeah, okay!

The kids are honest.

Defend me properly, and then swallow. [M]

Not only does this improve digestion, but it's a full-blown, one-stone effect for two birds.

"Yamato also knows mathematics..."

"It's no big deal"

Shut your mouth until now and open your mouth, Reesha, the girl who was watching over things.

Apparently, even simple multiplication is not popular in this village, and I was surprised by the concept of my earlier multiplication.

She's eating pot dishes, just like the kids.

"By the way, is Mr. Riesha still going hunting in the woods today?

"Yes, because I am a hunter..."

"Then prepare what I tell you to do."

"Yes, that's about it. Because of the many items I used in the past and the equipment that was left empty"

Reesha nods to what I instruct her to do.

Risha would be wise in this village. As the village chief's granddaughter, he may have had some education.

"But wait...... does that mean that Yamato will be able to stay in the village for some time to come?

Based on her earlier request to interact with and prepare the children, Leisha suspects that I will be staying in the village for a long time.

"I'll only take care of you for a little while. You got a problem with that?

"Yes! Of course you're welcome! Let me help you too!

To my answer, she smiles in tears. How patiently I have lived so far.

A brighter look than yesterday because you mouthed enough to eat in a pan. It's a pure, beautiful grin worthy of a girl about the age. Perhaps this is her original look.

"Hey, you guys. I'll even eat the rest of the big pot at night, so keep it over. Time to get to work."

"What, you can have dinner at night?

"Yeah, okay!

"Work, work hard!

Breakfast ends with more than half the dishes left in a large pot.

Thanks to all the mixing and simmering, I would have felt a lot better.

For the first time in a long time, the children were smiling as they held their bellies.

(I owe you one meal... I'll help you solve the food problem to some extent...)

That's what I've decided in my heart since I mouthed the children's nuts last night.

Initially I plan to stay in this village for only one night and soon move to a large nearby city.

But I decided to modify the idea a little bit.

(For a little while...)

It is not always possible to return from this other world. It will probably be a long journey in life.

Then there's no problem staying in this village for a little while.

(Oh man, when will it be resolved...)

I also mouthed a pot meal, excusing myself from laughing inside out.
