Chapter 29 – Bird Karaage – Part 1

After Liz and Eiri left, only me, Tina and Nanase-san were left in the church.

The atmosphere is overwhelming.

Liz left after whispering『Do well』into my ear.

She’s absolutely misunderstanding something.

It’s necessary to carefully talk with her later.

Apart from that, I should be thinking about the current problem.

「Umm, I was thinking about making a dinner for Tina now, will you also have some, Nanase-san?」

「E, eh…… Then, I will have some?」

She probably didn’t think such unexpected development could happen.

Nanase-san looks slightly restless.

「Tak.u.ma-sama’s cooking is really delicious desuyo~! Iori Oneechan will certainly love it too nanodesu!」

I’m really thankful for her overwhelming innocence in this awkward situation.

Anyway, it already happened so it can’t be helped.

Since it came to this, I have decided to offer the utmost hospitality.

「So, what are you going to make, Kamijou-kun?」

We have moved to the kitchen.

Nanase-san inquires with a great interest.

By the way, Tina is not here.

She should be tired from working in the Onsen all day, so I let her rest in the living room.

「N~to, what I’m making today……」

Banban.

I take out the ingredients.

Mouthfull-sized bird tights that I thoroughly pickled in liquor, onion, garlic, sesame oil, salt, and soy sauce.

Potato starch, vegetables, lemon.

Only this.

「Karaage1!?」

「Correct」

A dish that ranked top three in the dishes you want your mother to cook──Karaage.

There’s no need to talk about its popularity.

「Do you like Karaage?」

「Un! Very much!」

Nanase-san greatly nods with a smile like a child looking at the kid’s menu.

I was taken aback.

「…… C, cough. I’m looking forward to it because I haven’t eaten it since coming to this world, un」

Her expression returned immediately to her usual, but her cheeks are slightly red.

I have decided to act as if I didn’t see anything.

「You can’t get it in the castle? Since you are a hero candidate I have imagined you would eat various foods」

「Although it certainly is luxurious, it’s just steak or roasted pig, or anything similar to western cooking all the time」

In other words, they don’t serve the j.a.panese family-oriented dishes.

「Well, let’s make it」

I put the potato starch in a sack, then I drain the chicken of liquid and put it together with seasonings in the sack.

I close the sack and shake it.

「You look really used to this」

「I made plenty at home. I was taught the recipe from a senpai in the part-time job」
