chapter 54

A new~ morning~ has~ come~!

And so, good morning .

Today is house-sitting day so let’s have fun house-sitting . Yes .

After making bentos and breakfast and sending off everyone except for Kadomi-kun and Katori, time to start house-sitting .

basically free time

……now then .

Today is the first time in a long time I put effort into cooking .

So first, bringing the free Kadomi-kun and Katori, [Teleport] to the sea .

“Now then, Kadomi-kun, Katori-kun . You two will now enter the sea . ”

“Eh, what’s that, I didn’t hear about that……”

“Of course, because I didn’t say it . ”

Today’s objective is kombu .

In this world, it looks like there is no custom of eating seaweed . There isn’t a single type of seaweed in the market .

Nothing can be done about that, so I chose to come get it myself .

with manpower

And so first, strip .

“Eh……wai, wait, wait wait wait wait . ”

“Maito-san, if you’re going to change go over there . ”

“How rude, I’m wearing things underneath!”

Even I’m not such an idiot to go full naked .

The maid costume will be heavy in the ocean and I won’t be able to move, so I have worn a light one-piece dress .

Does everyone know? In Japan, before swimsuits were developed, silk one-piece dresses were used as swimsuits .

Of course, it was extremely inefficient for swimming . Then why did they wear it . Incomprehensible .

no option

“By the way, we don’t have trunks right?”

“Since ancient Japan, there have been people who swim in just a fudonshi . ”

“Eh~……seriously?”

“If you are fine swimming in your clothes, that’s fine too . I can get rid of the water with [Cleaning] anyway . ”

You guys have enough corrections to be fine swimming with your clothes on right? When I asked, the answer was, ‘probably’ .

But it seems they were still resistant about entering the water like that, so they removed some things and lightened up before going in .

not everthing though

At an area where the ocean came up to my waist, there was seaweed floating around .

I got them to gather the seaweed and shellfish around, then [appraised] those .

There were the 3 types, edible and delicious, edible, poisonous, we released the edible group .

The delicious ones are to be brought back for eating and the poisonous ones are gifts for President . It’s President, he will definitely be delighted .

……such consideration

The results of steadily gathering seaweed and shellfish, we obtained kombu, wakame and tengusa .

Each of them aren’t particularly huge or have strange colours .

Basically, they are food with extra effects .

The effects are……[Increased HP Recovery Speed], [HP Recovery] and [HP Recovery] .

Unfortunately, we could only find poisonous shellfish .

President will be delighted though .

at least someone’s happy

After getting onto shore, I [cleaned] Kadomi-kun and Katori, then quickly laid out the seaweed to dry in the sun……

“Maito-san, Maito-san hurry up and [Clean] yourself too . ”

“But I’m going to get wet touching the seaweed anyway . ”

“It’s fine . ”

It’s not, but can’t be helped . Once I [cleaned], the soaked dress dried in an instant and the hem lightly billowed outwards . Hm, this skill really is quite excellent .

… . Maito pls

So I am sun-drying the seaweed .

I couldn’t remove the water in food with [Cleaning] .

……then if I don’t get a new skill here, where will I get one .

While praying for a skill, I spread out the seaweed on the beach under the sun, and kind of expected, my dog tag glowed .

……hm, [Sun Dry] . Exactly as it says .

But this skill can dry the seaweed without having to dry it on the breach, an extremely wonderful skill .

……and it was revealed later, but this skill can also be used on futons…… The best! So poofy! So soft!

the most cheat skill

The dried seaweed is light so I can bring a lot of it back! While I was stuffing the seaweed in sacks, Kadomi-kun and Katori played in the water .

……mhm, well, it’s good that you two are having fun .

Ah, there’s a pretty shell there . Let’s bring it back .

……kids……so fun

While I was picking up shells and scraps of coral, Kadomi-kun and Katori disappear .

……hm? What happened to the two of them? Could they have drowned? Got swept away?

No way . Probably .

Then……they’re diving?

After staring for a while, Katori broke the surface, took a breath and dived into the ocean again .

Wha, what is it what is it?

Then Kadomi-kun also surfaced a few times, so I could confirm that they are safe but……

What are they doing?

scallop diving?

After a while, the two of them surfaced .

“Maito~! Huge find!”

“We found a classroom~”

……eh?

underwater?

They came onto shore and showed me, it was a palm-sized jewel .

When I [appraised] it, [Staff Entranceway] .

“We didn’t know where the jewel was, it took quite a while . ”

“There’s classrooms in the ocean too . ”

I see~, there’s also classrooms that sunk into the ocean .

Or rather, since [Staff Entranceway] was kind of half outdoor, it sunk into the ocean?

Hmm, what to do about this .

If there are other classrooms in the ocean……finding them will be the most troublesome thing .

Ah, it’s a good thing we found one this time, seriously . This is a greater find than seaweed .

I like how you even compare them

And so once we got back to the 2F northeast area, lunch .

“Is there something you two want to eat?”

“Eh . ”

“Eh . ”

“I didn’t think you would ask . ”

“Come to think of it……I’ve never asked . Sorry .

“……eggs, is there extra?”

“There’s plenty . ”

I bought them by the box .

“I want to eat raw egg rice . ”

“Oi, as the one making it, that’s a selection I can’t really say much about . ”

But even so, since they wish for it, let’s have raw egg rice .

I just need to cook rice and prepare miso soup, mhm .

……couldn’t you have chosen something else, with the same egg and rice, like omelette rice for example?

when you go to 5 star restraunt for fries

“Thanks for the meal . ”

“It was not much . ”

You can’t go any less, well, it’s fine if they’re satisfied .

as long as its delicious

After finishing lunch, let’s start with today’s main event immediately .

Yes, sweet making .

It’s sweets . Sweets .

I have butter and eggs too . Mhm~, what to make .

Come to think about it, I made rum from molasses when making sugar from sugarcane and left fruit to soak in it .

It might still be early, but let’s just use that .

And so I’m making fruit cake!

…the fruit cake I know has fresher fruits?

Well, it’s that, it’s just putting fruits soaked in rum inside a pound cake, so it’s not that difficult .

After that is just the oven, for this, well, I just need to regulate the heat with fire magic and measure the temperature of the oven with a thermometer in the chemistry lab, bake it at roughly 180℃ and it’s done .

It’s a good thing I got them to make me an oven . Yes .

Let’s leave the cake to rest once it’s done . Then it will settle and become delicious .

“Something smells nice . ”

“What are you making?”

“I baked a cake . ”

When I set out the baked cake, I baited out something .

“Err, eating it”

“Will be tonight or tomorrow night . ”

Kadomi-kun wordlessly made a slightly sad expression .

……I see, I have been starved for sweets, but these guys have also been staved for sweets as well .

Hm, then let’s make some snacks too .

It is about 2 o’clock after baking the cake .

Even if I relaxedly prepare from now, I’ll make it for tea time .

the 2 lucky guys, why participate when there’s sweets

Now then, let’s make pancakes .

Crepes are fine too, but I didn’t buy whipped cream .

Don’t you want cream with crepes? So today is pancakes .

Panckaes are simple too . Just mix flour, sugar, eggs, baking soda, melted butter and a little milk, pour it into a frying pan, fry it and done .

Today, let’s eat it with fruit sauce .

Ah, I’ve made jam and sauce of all the fruits we have found .

Remember? I bought that large amount of bottles .

Since I became able to store them, I could finally make a bunch of things .

when did you have that time…

When I served the pancake, it was quite well received .

Watching the two of them eat fluffy pancakes was somewhat pleasant .

‘Maito, Maito, I want to eat too’

Hanter also wanted to eat, so I gave a small piece of pancake, and it was well received here too . Weren’t you carnivorous?

‘Where’s my share?’

Eh, Ketorami-san is also eating? Aren’t you the carnivore?

Well, if you wish it, so I served him too, and it was also well received here . According to Katorami, ‘Human food is not bad either’ .

Are you okay with that, wolf?

dog

And that’s when the accident happened .

“We’re back . ”

“Isn’t that early welcome back masters . ”

Something came back .

I see~, Toriumi can already [Teleport] . That was a maid blunder .

“Won?”

“Won . So, what are you guys eating?”

“Pancake . ”

“Pancake . ”

‘Pancake!’

‘Something called pancake . ’

Seeing the strange scene of even Ketorami eating pancake, everyone has indescribable expressions .

“Where’s our share . ”

“Okay, making . ”

Okay, 6 additional portions~

……it helps that everyone does not have that dislike sweet stuff thing typical of boys .

more work though

Dinner is rice, miso soup, stew and grilled chicken .

Fufufufufu, the stew and miso soup are made with seaweed stock! Iya~, as a Japanese person I really wanted this!

Mhm~, when it comes this far, I also want katsuobushi……but deep sea fishing is tough . Or rather, is there tuna in this world?

“Oh yeah, we picked up a classroom, in the ocean . ”

With Kadomi-kun’s report, those that went to fight in the Hexa section today stared at Kadomi-kun, stunned

“Rather than classroom, it’s the [Staff Entranceway] though”

Yes, seeing Katori take out the jewel, I remembered that .

“Oh yeah, I picked up the [Broadcast Room] quite a while ago . ”

When I took out the jewel from my bag, everyone stared at me, stunned again . Stop, don’t stare at me so much .

“Wait, when and where did you pick that up . ”

“It was there where I was kidnapped to, so I picked it up .

Yeah . I completely forgot about it .

“……that’s stealing . ”

“What’s wrong with the stolen me stealing a stolen good . ”

“There’s a lot of things weird with that . ”

Well, it’s not like they have any particular complains about it so it’s fine .

‘……mhm, well, like this we have 2 1F classrooms and expecting 3 . ”

Yeah . We plan to get 3 at the gladiator tournament .

Hm, if we get 3 like this……the printing room, staff room and staff office……I guess?

Then at the 1F south area, there is the principal’s office, conference room, infirmary……that’s about it .

Mhm, the future might be getting just a little clearer .

nah

“Oh yeah, there was the gatekeeper we faced yesterday . ”

Ah~, the gatekeeper-san that did not notice Rosemary-san .

“He was irritating so we beat him black and blue . ”

“I see, thanks for the report . ”

“Next is the Nona section, apparently . ”

“I see I see . ”

……mhm, not like he’s a threat anyway .

stubborn

Now then, tomorrow is the Nona section, then award ceremony .

Ufufufu, like this we can get 3 classrooms……and probably some prize .
