A Cook

I had the silky, Kinue-san, learn the [Cooking] skill that Rokuko got from gacha.

As for the results

You became good at cooking?

Also, the time it takes to cook has become instant Relatively.

From what Kunue-san said, along with compensating for her cooking, it also seems to stop time for everything other than her cooking while she is cooking. So the person herself will be properly cooking, but everything around her would see it as immediate. It also doesnt appear to work for anything other than cooking.

Even while boiling?

Yes, I cant do anything else. I cannot do something like room cleaning while it is boiling. But if its something like putting away cooking utensils, I can do that.

Thats harsh.

But really, space-time magic thats limited by cooking?

First off, lets prepare some ingredients and see what its like.

I took out a recipe and some ingredients with DP. Shell make strawberry shortcake.

I invited Ichika and Meat over to act as food samplers. I didnt call her, but Rokuko came too.

Its a skill I got you know? Wouldnt I always want to see it?

Well, you wouldve come anyway even if there wast a reason.

Rather, invite me properly! Wouldnt I feel like I was being excluded?

Rokuko sulked. Lets call her over as well next time.

Ill make it, then. First is the preparations and done. I am finished.

Fast! That wasnt even ten seconds!?

There was a beautiful strawberry shortcake in front of us. However, it wasnt that the cake had simply appeared all on its own. There were traces that the oven made from phoenix eggshell fragments was used as well.

It was sliced up immediately. White cream and yellow fluff, with a beautiful layer of red strawberries on top. Looks delicious.

It really was an instant. Its more amazing than I thought.

Yknow, Goshujin-sama, could ya give Kinue-san to me?

To Ichika? Hahaha, of course not.

Tch, unfortunate~

By the way, as far as the inn is concerned, it was decided that Rei, Kinue-san, and Nerune had all three come to be Rokukos subordinates. They were treated as my juniors.

Ichika was my senior in the respect that she had come to the dungeon before me, but Ichika is my slave. Theres no way I could do something like giving my junior to a slave.

From my point of view, an hour has passed since I began preparations. I think not being able to do anything but cooking would be hard for ordinary humans? I am alright with it because I am a housework fairy, though.

Thats a considerably severe limitation.

Itd probably be a godly skill for people that love cooking. I should say its the ideal skill for a cook huh? They could spend however much time they want on cooking.

Its a good thing I didnt use it myself. Itd be different if I could have used it on sleeping though.

Kehma, this is amazingly delicious!

Its so sweet, like its melting, nom nom

Rokuko and Meat had immediately filled their mouths with cake. A great way to eat.

Ill eat some too. Thinking that, I looked for the cake huh, theres none?

Ah, sorry. This is the last piece.

Right then, Rokuko was stabbing the final piece of cake with her fork.

Oi, seriously? You guys really eat fast. I wanted to eat too

Theres no helping it, then. Here.

Rokuko came at me, aiming the fork-pierced piece of cake at me.

Everyones lines of sight assembled towards me. This, is is that? The Aaah encounter?

Hey, open your mouth.

No, hand over the fork.

If you dont open your mouth, Ill eat it!

What kind of threat is that? But I want to eat cake Kuh. As expected, Rokukos gotten smart. I wonder if something happened like her leveling up?

I got it, now that its come to this I have to use my last resort

Un, now, submissively be thrusted. [1]

But I refuse! Rokoku, dont think things will just easily go your way!

I turned my back to Rokuko and spoke to Kinue-san.

Kinue-san, please do it again.

Yes, Ill do it n done.

A second cake finished in an instant. Yep, seeing it a second time, that [Cooking] skill really is amazing.

Meat, Ichika, we need to eat that one too! Help me!

Itadakimasu! [2]

Its bad for Goshujin-sama, but its Rokuko-samas order~. It cant be helped~!

All three of them attacked the new shortcake.

However, I simply allowed them to do it. As for why

Ill take the remaining ones, then.

Fueh!?

Rokukos cheeks were filled with shortcake. There were three other whole shortcakes The answer why is simple. I ordered her to make four with my fingers. Our oven can easily cook four at a time after all.

As expected, they werent able to eat four more. I also couldnt eat too much, so I wound up putting them in [Storage]. One will be a present to Rei and Nerune, who arent here.

I immediately isolated a piece with my fork.

Though it was true that the ingredients bought with DP were superior, Kinue-sans skill in cooking was also really good. I missed this flavor, its like the cakes I had eaten before coming to this other world.

Delicious. It wouldnt even be outdone by the cakes sold in Japanese shops.

I am honored to receive your praise, master.

Kinue-san bloomed with a smile.

Gu, f-fine Kehma! But remember, this [Cooking] skill is something I got, in other words its my achievement!

Nom nom nom

Ha~n, I ate somethin good, happiness. High class with plenty of sugar, too amazin

Yeah, cake is a sugary luxury, huh. Lets sell some to the saintess. I wonder what cost would be good? About ten gold for a piece?

Looking outside as I thought about it, it was snowing.

Winter, huh.

Ah, come to think of it, what did the villages name wind up being?

Ooi Gozoh. You sure you want to leave it as Gozoh+Roppus Love Love Village~?

Footnotes:

This just lmao.

This one is Meat.
