āWell, I donāt think thereās anything you canāt eat. Are you sure you want to eat āKomeā?
āYes.ā
Yeah, but donāt worry about this Rice thing.
You just donāt have the courage to do both.
All right, letās try āKomeā today.
Next up isā Rasu ā.
āHow much do you need?
āIn one sachetā
Itās unclear how long itās in there, but given its size, there āll be enough to cook three times for one person.
Iām a little nervous considering it fails, but if itās not enough, you can come back and buy it.
āWait a minute, refined wheat⦠refined rice? I will.ā
āYes, pleaseā
I see, the grander you are, the better things you get through.
Well, theyāll think youāre a kid who acts pretty weird.
Speaking of which, how do you do precise rice?
I waited, but I was concerned, so I chase after the shopkeeper who moved to the next room.
When I look at it, I put the rice with the wax in it like a box and Iām swinging it to the left and right.
Hmm?
I wonder what that is.
āHmm? Whatās up?
āNo, I was wondering how to do precision riceā
āI use a box of magic items. Because it does not produce heat, it has a reputation for not escaping the flavour ofā Mugi āā¦. I donāt know if it works for Kome.ā
If itās rice in my imagination, Iām pretty happy with the precision rice method. \nAnd I said it before.
So I guess thereās no problem.
āYou kept me waiting.ā
āThank youā
Shit.
I bought it before asking the price.
What if itās very expensive?
ā25 dals.ā
āWhat, ah yes. Now.ā
I was surprised at how cheap it was.
Could it be that it tastes terribly bad?
Hey, Iām getting scared.
āAhhh.ā
āYes?ā
Looks like the owner is wondering if he wants to say something.
Iām opening and closing my mouth.
I waited a while.
āNo, itās nothingā
āReally? Thank you.ā
I have to try it first.
If I could eat this, Iād be so happy.
I can keep my food costs down.
⦠If it tastes so bad, well, I canāt help it.
Give up and try Rice.
Return to the square and start making dinner for the day after tomorrow.
The meat I bought is a chunk of grubal meat.
Iām going to simmer this carefully.
Cut the vegetables to simmer with and add to the pan.
Add water and light a fire.
Cook the surface of the meat by boiling.
Just a little, scrape the meat to make sure it tastes like meat.
Like the store guy said, you have a little teeth.
The flavour is delicate, contrary to the appearance of Gulbal.
\nThis is too much water.
Nevertheless, it resembles the taste in memory.
This could be good.
Ah, I want some rice balls.
Bowls are good, too.
Ugh, one image after another in my headā¦ā¦
Looks like Iām running wild inspired by the taste of rice before.
Iām a little scared of the first time, but youāre gonna have to wait until you calm down.
āHeh, calm down. Good.ā
And I used to like rice a lot.
Well, itās delicious.
āThank you very much.ā
Still, rice would be nice.
A rice balls in a floating image?
That might be good for lunch.
āWell, before you do, you have to be able to cook it deliciously.ā
Eat it. Okay, but the moisture content is pretty important when cooking, right?
Iām a little surprised Iāve never been aware of the amount of water when cooking before.
Rice is delicate.
I wonder if itās easier to tell the amount of water or make a special cup.
Amount of water relative to the amount of rice.
I have to repeat this and know how to add and subtract it.
It could be a little rough until you can cook it deliciously.
Iām going to be a regular customer of that store.
āSpeaking of which,ā Kome, āā Rasu, āā Mugi, āā Komugi ā? If you look, you may have a name that better matches your memory.ā
Come to think of it, itās not strange that beings like me have been in the past.
Because the fortune teller told me, without any particular surprise, āitās better to keep it to yourselfā.
Besides, itās none of my business if you were there.
It must have been a long time ago that the name was so pervasive.
No more problems than not now.
Well, letās go set a trap in the woods tomorrow.
Itās likely that Gulbal will break it, but I still canāt rely on Ciel.
⦠so that the prey goes into the trap, I make a pushā¦
