In a World Filled with Deserts, an Old Man with Electronic Money

Episode 13 The Beginning of Life with Three

Is this the right one? Is the fuel firewood?

"No, it's too much trouble to pick up firewood, so let the magic flow to this circular board. This will create a high fever and allow you to cook."

It's convenient.

"If you can't hire someone who has magic, you can't use the Magic Heater. This itself is actually quite expensive."

I decided to make dinner because the place to sleep had been decided and it was late in the evening.

I'll leave it up to you two, but I'll cook it because it'll only come out of the boiled sand corpion's legs again.

Instead of burning firewood, I was surprised that a pot placed on a grey circular plate could cook like an electric cooker.

When I was in the barracks, I only ate cooked meals and occasionally had dinner with Major Thunder, so I wasn't familiar with the world's cookware.

It seems like it needs to be magical, but I think it's more efficient than burning firewood because it's like an electric cooker.

It's hard to adjust the firepower.

"It is expensive to use such a function. Lift the pan and adjust the heating. I won't."

In Muu's case, you only boil the legs of the sand scorpion, so you don't have to worry about firepower.

I'll just boil it with boiling water.

And Mr. La Label didn't even do that...

I wonder what I can do because I'm a princess?

"Taro, can you cook?

"By the standards of the original world, I haven't cooked at all since I came to this world."

After Kana's death, I lived alone.

Though not so good, I was able to cook so much that I didn't have to worry about my daily life.

I'll take care of it today.

I have decided to make dinner tonight because I will take care of you from now on.

Nevertheless, I don't cook that well.

In the bread brought out of the ship, a salad was made with vegetables, and the sand lizard meat was cut into pieces and baked in the steak style with salt and spices.

Stir-fry the accompanying vegetables, steam the potato-like squid, and add the sand lizard eggs to the legs of the sand scorpion to make a crab ball-style soup.

Since there are few condiments in this world, I think this area is the limit for my arm.

"Wow, that looks delicious. I've had more than two dishes in a while."

"That's true. And I'm surprised there was another way to cook than to boil the sand corpion."

"There is also a cooking method called baking the label. It doesn't taste that different."

Well, that's true, too.

……

Since my cooking skills are ordinary, I felt embarrassed when I was praised by Mr. Mu.

Until now, the two had only boiled the legs of the sand scorpion, so I wondered if it would compare to that.

"Lord Tallow is a good cook."

I don't think so, but I was sure I wouldn't feel bad if I was praised by a beautiful woman.

Well, shall I have it?

The three of us start eating dinner, but that's the good ladies.

I was eating elegantly.

La Label, who was a princess, of course, Mu was born a nobleman, so she seems to have received proper manners education.

Rather, my ancestors were samurai, and the manners of the meal may be suspicious.

"It's been a long time since I've had a lot of food, and it's been a long time since I've had this sandy lizard meat."

"Yes, the sand lizard meat should be refreshing."

Sand lizards are the weakest but most numerous of the sand beasts.

The meat was widely familiar from royalty to commoners.

I also eat it every day, but I think it tastes just like chicken.

Perhaps if they told me it was chicken, no one would suspect it.

"You've been eating raw vegetables for a long time, La Label."

I see.

There are no fields in this oasis, and I wonder if you... didn't look for any wild grass to eat?

"We don't know what kind of weed we can eat."

I see. It's dangerous to eat weird things here and break your stomach. "

I understand that, but I think the nutritional balance of the sand scorpion's legs alone is poor every day.

Before that, I will get tired of it.

If I cooked for myself... these two didn't seem to come up with such an idea because they were so bad young ladies.

Soup is delicious too.

"I didn't know you could cook like this with the legs of a sand scorpion. Lord Tallow is amazing."

I don't know.

The legs of the sand scorpion resembled crabs, so I was just trying to make them like crab balls soup.

Because there is no soup stock, the taste is light because it depends on the legs of the sand scorpion, but the two people who haven't had decent food in a long time had a delicious soup.

"It's been a long time since I've had a treat."

It was delicious.

"You said the food was normal, but you're not good at it."

I don't know where to set the standards, but of these three, am I good at cooking?

"I am honored to receive your compliments. By the way, I'm here to take care of you, so shall I prepare the meal?

But if you leave it to these two, they'll boil the sand scorpion's legs every meal.

Then it would be better to cook for yourself and have a decent meal.

"I'd love to."

"You're welcome. I always prepare the meal, but I always boil the legs of the sand scorpion."

Until now, only Mr. Mu has done the meal preparation.

Can't you do that because Mr. Label is a princess?

"Mr. Label is a princess."

It's my ex though. I'm the Count because La Label is now at home. "

Speaking of which, I was removed from the royal family instead of taking this oasis to the territory.

Still, I don't think I'll cook for myself because I'm the Count.

"Before, La Labelle said she would do it herself, so I entrusted it to you, but it was raw or boiled too much to make it dry. That's why I'm doing it."

Sorry about the clumsiness.

Very beautiful Mr. La Label, but unfortunately he looked like a messiah.

Well, shall we go to bed?

"There's no entertainment here, so it's only for sleeping at night."

After dinner and at night, it was time to go to bed.

Naturally, there are no street lights in this oasis, and there are magical "magic lamps" that glow with magic, but I want to save magic in case of an accident.

Naturally, she started sleeping when it got dark.

Instead, the activity starts at the same time as the sun rises.

It's a healthy life unlikely to happen in Japan with an early night's sleep and early rising.

Except that the Beast might attack us.

"Who doesn't have to stand guard?

"Don't worry."

Surely the Sandbeast was unlikely to attack the less-human oasis?

"The sandwich corpion works at night, but the sandwich doesn't move much at night because the eyes aren't good at night."

In other words, it's time for the Sandwich Corpion to attack the sandwich at night, so it's safe...

The meat of the three of us is not much, so I wonder if a sandwich that can't move at night is more nutritionally efficient.

"But, in case something happens, can't you prepare for it?

"I'm not too shy about that. I'm putting a device to detect the intruder on the outer edge of this oasis."

Do you have such a convenient device?

The fact that Mü was able to stretch it out is probably a device that works with magic.

This is just in case.

"As a matter of fact, when I first got here, there were a handful of sandscorpion raids every night. It seems that we looked delicious. But if I kept killing the sand scorpions that I'd been attacking every night for a week or so, they'd be out of sight."

"The sand scorpions around here seem to have learned. The sandwich is safer to eat."

Was it raided in the first place?

I could only be surprised at the strength of these two Sandscorpions, who were not afraid.

"Mr. Tallow, isn't it warm in your tent?

That's right.

The heater was placed in the middle of the tent, but its diameter was about 50 centimeters and it was made of semi-circular, ball-shaped stone.

It was said that replenishing the magic would slowly heat it up over time, and the inside of the tent was warmer than I expected.

"What is the operating time?

Half a day, huh?

"Is there a function to stop it?

"No, it's not that complicated. It takes about half a day to fill up the magic, so we have to adjust the amount of magic we can put in to reduce the operating time."

The desert is hot during the day, so it would be disastrous to adjust the amount of magic.

Oh, is that why the morning is so early?

It's getting hot, so we have to get out of the tent.

"I'm also careful, but fine-tuning the amount of magic is difficult."

I see.

Should I do this from tomorrow?

I was told that there was a lot of magic, and if I was doing such difficult things as adjusting the amount of magic that I could put in, I might also learn magic.

"Should I go to bed today because I'm going to move in earnest tomorrow?"

I see. It's still hot tomorrow. "

"Mr. Label, isn't that an early mistake?

"Isn't it the same thing? It's hot in here."

It was hot in King's Landing, too.

Fortunately, the tent was much wider than I expected, and it was good that the three of us did not fall asleep.

The bedding is a blanket instead of a duvet and a blanket instead of a duvet... two blankets, but this is something I've been disrespecting from the ship.

Mr. La Label and Mr. Mu didn't have more bedding than the number of people, so I'm glad they borrowed it from the ship.

Of course, the pillow is also a pillow.

The three of us somehow fell asleep in the middle of the river.

It seems that La Label, the lord here, is not in the middle.

"Did you bring out your bedding?"

Yeah, I'm glad I noticed.

"Even if you don't have bedding, you can sleep in the same blanket."

"No, that's right....."

How about the men and women we just met sleeping in the same blanket?

There is no one but us, so I won't be criticized.

Still, Mr. Mu seems to be thicker or more aggressive.

"Don't lick a desert night. Whenever it's cold."
