Stubborn Taster

「I’m backー」

「Welcome back」

「Uwaa!」

 As I entered the entry hall, I couldn’t help but let out a surprised voice since Eleonora-neesan was there. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Hey, why was your reaction like that when you saw a person’s face?」

「S, sorry, I reflexively……」

 She’s the last person I want to see after doing something I have a guilty conscience about, so I was surprised when I ran into her.

 I don’t want to meet Eleonora-neesan since she’s sharp in various ways

「’Reflexively’ makes it even worse」

 Ignoring Eleonora-neesan’s muttering, I brush off the snow from my body and take off my shoes.

 At times like this, it’s important to maintain my presence of mind and behave normally. I mean, Eleonora-neesan is someone sensitive and can sense the slightest sense of discomfort from you.

 Or rather, this big sister. Even though I applied Gravity on her when we started practicing with the Automatic Swordsmanship, she’s been living her life while pretending not to know anything.

 Don’t tell me, she’s been living her daily life without realizing it?

 If that is so, then I think I personally find it really interesting while at the same time, I’m genuinely worried my big sister is so insensitive toward mana.

 But, this is interesting so I’m gonna secretly stack more to increase the gravitational value.

「Even so you’re later than ever. What were you doing today?」

 I panicked since she called me the moment I applied Gravity on her, but it doesn’t seem like it was found out.

「I was relaxing in My Home with Roomba」

「Hmm」

 What do you mean by that ‘hmm’? Those vague words said by women are scary. I mean, you don’t know what meaning those words contain.

「You went ahead without saying anything so I was bored since I can’t practice on my own」

 What the. So there’s no particular meaning in that word before? www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 It looks like she was just displeased there was no one to practice with her.

 I want to say that there is Sylvio-niisan even if I was not here, but I decided not to say it since that exchange was already repeated many times over a long time ago.

 Specifically, it’s the same situation where I give up asking Eleonora-neesan to knock on my door before entering.

「I’ve been accompanying you in practice with Automatic Swordsmanship lately, right? So let me rest once in a while」

「Can’t be helped then, but accompany me practice tomorrow, alright」

「Yes yes, I know」

 Eleonora-neesan then smiled as if she was satisfied after I promised her.

 She would probably be satisfied and go somewhere else now that she understands she can practice with me again for now.

 As I was thinking such an optimistic thought, Eleonora-neesan suddenly approached me with furrowed eyebrows.

 Specifically, she comes closer to my neck as I bend over to take off my shoes.

 It’s very ticklish, probably because of Eleonora-neesan’s faint breath.

「Uwaa! What are you doing so suddenly!?」

「……there’s something? It smells subtly fragrant, doesn’t it? It’s something I’ve never smelled before?」

 Don’t tell me she could smell the smell of curry coming from my body?

 I washed my body carefully with soap in addition to brushing my teeth properly, I’ve also washed my clothes and worn new clothes already.

 Is Eleonora-neesan a dog or what?

「Well, I cooked at Roomba’s place」

 I’m not lying when I say I cooked back at My Home.

 So there’s no trembling in my voice and no suspicious behavior.

 The important thing is to maintain a silent appearance, even inside my heart.

 I’ve learned this the hard way ever since I was reincarnated into this world.

「Is that so」

 I say, could you please stop saying those brief comments with no meaning? It was bad for my heart when Eleonora-neesan was the one who said it.

「Speaking of Al’s cooking, I want to eat that again! Milk gelato!」

「Milk gelato? Aah, you want to get inside the kotatsu while eating that, huh?」

「Right right! I haven’t eaten anything cold these days!」

「That sounds nice. I’ll make it again then」

 I can easily make a larger amount compared to the ones made by Bartolo since I can use Ice magic.

 And I was also thinking of eating that too, so there’s no problem here. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Yes, please!」

 Eleonora-neesan must have been satisfied with the matter with the milk gelato as she went up to the second floor and entered the living room on there while smiling happily.

 After making sure that Eleonora-neesan’s presence had completely receded, I exhaled and returned to my own room.

●

「Al, I just realized something outrageous, see!」

 I have been continuously making curry at My Home for four days. Roomba said that to me with a solemn expression on his face.

「What’s wrong? What did you realize?」

 Looking at Roomba’s really serious face, I leaned forward and looked at him with expectation.

「Curry will also taste good if you add it to bread, don’t you think?」

「…………ahー, un. That’s right.....it’s also tasty on bread」

「What the, so Al also realized it! As expected of you!」

 And when he grabbed some bread from the food stock shelves, and dipped it into the pseudo-curry, he shouted to himself 「Delish!」.

 Although I was extremely disappointed by his realization, Roomba’s was really in his own pace.

 Even so, why doesn’t it taste good?

 I’ve changed the mixture amount of spices since then, but it seems like it’s best to try to put a teaspoon evenly like when I first made it. After that, I could increase the aroma by changing the ratio slightly.

 It’s good to know that, but still, this is just a curry-styled stew.

「Oooh, this curry with a little bit of red color to it has a stronger flavor than the others!」

「Which of them? Ahー, it’s the one with the shichimi tougarashi mixed in」

 The one Roomba pointed to was the curry with shichimi tougarashi mixed in.

 I couldn’t really tell the subtle difference in taste since I was tasting the food so much when I cooked them, but I wonder about now.

 I try eating the curry with the shichimi tougarashi. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Ah, it’s true. It has a bit of an umami flavor despite being spicy」

 I felt like there was a slight umami flavor now that he told me.

 Not only does it have a spicy aroma, it also has a slight mixed taste of spiciness and umami.

「So that means, it would be even more delicious if we mix this shichimi tougarashi-thing?」

「Maybe, it would be better to extract and mix some of the ingredients included in there!」

 Instead of just adding shichimi tougarashi alone, it might be better to add individual ingredients such as chili pepper, japanese pepper, and black pepper included there.

 Becoming somewhat desperate, I tried throwing in shichimi togarashi in the curry but it became an unexpected step forward instead.

 In addition to the shichimi tougarashi, there is also chili powder, so it seemed to be a good idea to try adding that too.

 Last time I returned excited bringing turmeric and coriander with me, but I want to take a careful selection again slowly.

 I also want to ask about various things to Rasha and examine the spices carefully.

 Or rather, it might be a good idea to bring the curry so Rasha can taste it.

 If it’s someone who runs a spice shop like her, then she looks like she will be able to notice the flaw in the curry and give me good advice.

 ……but, Shanaria was in Lazerica, right?

 I came up with all sorts of good ideas as my thoughts were stimulated, but a cloud of doubt passed over them.

 Salva seemed to be looking around for me, she says he wanted to see me again.

 Although it has been a few days since then, I don’t want to go there if those people are still wandering around.

 It’d be troublesome if they told me to come with them to the palace.

 Cumin, turmeric, and coriander are usually enough to make curry from spices.

 I’m sure there must have been something I overlooked. Guess I have to try harder with my own strength for a little more.

 So I considered and put the curry I made today into the fridge.

 The frying pans from yesterday and the day before yesterday were completely gone, they are now cleaned and lined up in the kitchen.

 There is only curry inside the refrigerator. There are almost no other ingredients inside.

 Don’t tell me, that Roomba…… has been eating nothing but curry? So I asks him, thinking it was not so.

「Speaking of which, Roomba. Have you been eating anything other than curry these days?」

「I didn’t. I mean, I have that food Al made for me」

 The thing I was worried about unexpectedly came true. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Eh, that’s bad you know! You won’t get enough nutrition if you only eat curry!」

「Really? It has things like vegetables, carrots, and onions, right?」

「That’s definitely not enough, it’s seriously lacking nutrition. I know it kinda sounds hypocritical when it comes from me, but don’t you ever get tired of eating curry all the time?」

 You will get bored if you eat the same meal three times a day. So it will become torture already if that continues for 4 or 5 days.

 Even the curry from my previous life is difficult for me, so there won’t be any comparison when it comes to the failure of a curry I made.

「But curry is delicious. Besides, I also promised Al I will become your taster until the curry is completed」

「O, ooh, thank you」

 To think that he will faithfully keep his promise even though it was just a casual conversation, Roomba is too manly.

「But, curry alone will be bad for your body so I guess we’ll take a break for a bit」

 Right, there’s no need to force it to make the curry and make him eat it, I can store it in my subspace.

「Oi oi, you don’t have to worry about me. I also want to try the completed curry Al was talking about. Please make it quickly」

 However, Roomba was saying something like that while being huffy.

 It seems like Roomba is worried about it as he doesn’t want me to stop making curry.

 Roomba is the type of man who will go through all the way without wavering once he made up his mind to move forward with something.

 No matter how I try to play around with my words, he’s probably going to stick with his current attitude. We’ve known each other for a long time already so I know him very well.

 ……but this is bad.

 If I don’t complete the curry at this rate, then Roomba will be going to continue eating curry.

 For the sake of Roomba’s health and my mental health, I have to complete the curry as quickly as possible.

 And to do that, I have to go to Rassha’s shop in Lazerica……

「Okay. I’ll try a little harder then. But, I’m running out of ingredients today so I’m going to return now.」

「Ou, okay! I’ll leave it to you again tomorrow!」

 After tidying up the kitchen, I thanked Roomba and left My Home.

「I’m going to take a bit of a risk, but I guess I should go to Lazerica」

 Oh well, I just have to use Teleport for a while and return immediately. 

 Let’s avoid the main street and stay out of people’s eyes and go to Rassha’s shop and my business is done.

 This should be fine.

 Having made that decision, I used Space magic to Teleport to Lazerica. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
