The Usual Morning
At my house in Howling village. The warm sunlight shines into my bedroom.....nah, the boiling-like heat woke me up. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「It’s hot……」
As soon as I woke up the first thing I felt was the heat clinging to my body. Apparently, this other world also experiences the thing called a heat wave.
Fortunately, the buildings and ground are not covered in concrete like in Japan so the temperature is not that high but even so, what’s hot is still hot.
But, it’s not so hot it’s unbearable.
Opening the window widely, a pleasant breeze blows and quickly takes away the heat that stays inside my room and my body.
「Fuuh」
My shirt had become a little heavy dry my moist body while also flapping my shirt.
I do have an Ice magic tool to cool myself, but I don’t think I’m gonna need to take it out for now.
Sobering up my flushed body, I get dressed after that.
I could take a quick shower, but I’m going to sweat again after taking care of the field so it would be better to do it later.
After changing clothes and getting myself ready, I go downstairs to the first floor and start preparing breakfast.
I was so busy in my previous world, so there were times when I skipped breakfast, but not that I have more time I try to make some for myself whenever possible.
It’s not like I dislike cooking, I rather like cooking.
That being said, I don’t cook complicated stuff.
When I got to the kitchen, I started taking out the ingredients for the breakfast from my subspace.
I placed pumpkin and lotus root onto the chopping board and continued to slice them thinly.
Once that was done, I lit up the fire on the magic stove and cooked those cut ingredients.
What I’m making right now is just a simple grilled pumpkin and lotus root.
It’s not seasoned in any way, but grilling it brings out the fragrant aroma and the simple, natural umami becomes concentrated. Despite all that, it was sliced thinly so the surface turns crispy.
Especially the lotus root, which becomes crunchy and like natural vegetable chips.
While grilling the pumpkin and lotus root, I mildly wash some lettuce and continue to shred them.
After that, I was about to place them on the usual plate but then my hands stopped.
「Let’s use the tableware Griff-san gave me」
It was the tableware Griff gave me as a housewarming gift. I put them away in the cupboard but never used them even once.
It was a thoughtful gift after all. It would be a waste not to use them.
Returning the usual white tableware to their place, I take out the tableware from Griff.
The plates given by Griff were made by baking clay and it was a refined piece with a beautifully finished texture. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
When I added the shredded lettuce to that plate, it gave a different impression than usual.
「Just changing the plate a little makes quite a big impact」
It’s a little fun to have a different fresh experience from usual.
After arranging the lettuce on the plate, the pumpkin and lotus root were well-cooked at the same time so I also arranged them on the plate as well.
Once that’s done, I lightly spread some oil on the pan and then add butter and beaten eggs to make scrambled eggs.
Angelica gave me this butter.
Just adding a little to the frying pan makes the rich smell of butter spread, it really smells delicious.
And the rich smell perhaps finally woke up my empty stomach as it made a 「Guu」 sound.
Once the scrambled egg was done, I got the impulse just to eat it directly, but I resisted the urge and cooked bacon instead. As expected, I want more meat.
I cooked them until crispy and placed them on the plate despite enduring the fragrant smell of bacon in the air.
Then I take them all to the table in the living room and take bread from my subspace, and then breakfast preparation is complete.
「Itadakimasu」
First I taste the simple grilled pumpkin.
The flesh becomes tender after grilling it and the simple, natural flavor of the pumpkin is enhanced even more. The slightly blackened parts also have an indescribable flavor.
Next is the scrambled egg that gave off warm steam.
I pick up the wobbly, trembling egg yolk and bring it to my mouth.
The flavor of the butter and egg are in perfect harmony. The rich flavor of the butter was not overpowered by the original sweetness from the egg, it firmly held its own flavor.
I thought of eating the scrambled egg with the bread, but I also wanted to know the original taste of the butter so I spread some butter on the bread and tried it.
Immediately after, I felt the rich flavor of butter even more.
「This is delish!」
To think she can make such delicious butter at home, Angelica is really amazing.
As long as you have this butter, even the hard bread they served at the cheap inn in the royal capital is going to be delicious. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
After eating a little bread, I put some lettuce to cleanse my palate.
After washing down the rich butter with the moisture from the lettuce, I I ate some simple grilled lotus root as a palate cleanser.
They make a pleasant crisp sound when I chew them. They have a pleasant texture, just like when you eat a freshly made potato chip.
When there’s a change in texture like this, it really increases the satisfaction when you eat.
After I eat the simply grilled lotus root, next I put the cooked bacon into my mouth.
It has a crispy texture a little different from before. The saltiness and fat from the bacon really pervades the inside of my empty stomach. I’m at the where I should be worried about meat and fat, but as expected, meat is the best.
After finishing my breakfast like that, I head out to the field at the back.
Just recently, I started to create a vegetable garden in Howling village as a hobby. I managed to plow the field despite being a beginner and plant the spring onion and rough potato seeds Andre’s family had shared with me.
They have sprouted nicely as small, few sprouts had come out.
「Ooh, it becomes a little bigger than yesterday」
My recent enjoyment is to check the growth of the field.
Will it become bigger each time I wake up? I was able to get that sense of enjoyment.
As expected having a single hobby in your life makes your daily life richer. Ever since I moved here, I was amazed since I didn’t know about that, especially with all the time I now have.
Even I laughed at myself when I remembered that time.
I moderately watered the sprouts that had emerged on the ground and removed the weeds, I’m done with taking care of the field.
They’ve only just started to grow so there’s no need to take care of them yet.
Moreover, I have a mansion in the royal capital and live in two locations. Since I’m not always in one place, I can’t grow some crops that require me to take care of them a lot.
So it’s impossible unless it’s something that will grow with just the occasional care.
After I finished taking care of the field, I took care of the seedlings Andre’s family gave me in the same manner. I also just watered them moderately and it’s done.
Andre told me that I can transfer these to the field once they’re big enough, but that will probably take longer.
After I finished what could be called my morning routine, it was already mid-morning.
I’m thinking of returning to the royal capital at noon today so I only have a few hours left.
……now then, what should I do? www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Kureto, are you hereー?」
While I was troubled over what to do, there was a knock on the door and a voice calling out to me.
This voice must be Andre, who lives nearby.
Opening the door, Andre was standing there as I expected.
And, for some reason, he has a fishing rod on his shoulder.
「Yes yes, what’s the matter?」
「If you have the time, why don’t we go to the mountain for a bit? I was thinking of taking you to the mountain stream I told you before」
「Right!……so, what’s your true goal?」
「I want to go to the mountain stream quickly」
Andre’s aim was clear from the fishing tackle on his shoulder.
「That’s such a refreshingly open attitude you have there. But unfortunately, I’m going to the royal capital this afternoon so I don’t have the time to go fishing」
「What’d you say!? Then, it can’t be helped, guess I’ll let it slide with just a preview of the place today」
Andre was disappointed in my answer, but he immediately changed his mind.
「It seems like there’s no option to give up for you, huh」
「But once you go there you can go to that place anytime, right? That’s why this time we’re going there to prepare for when we go there next time!」
Certainly, if I were to go there now to check the place out, I could conveniently go there immediately next time with teleport.
I was thinking of taking a bit of a walk to spend the time so it might be a good idea to prepare for when I’m going to fish leisurely in the future.
「Okay then. Shall we go to the mountain stream now?」
「Ou!」
And thus in the time before I leave for the royal capital, Andre took me to see the mountain stream. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
