The kitchen you were introduced to was small, but it looked like a fully equipped kitchen.

"This is the kitchen used by his wife and cod for cooking."

It seems that there are several kitchens in this mansion. Well, it's an enviable environment.

"All the ingredients and utensils are the same as in the main kitchen."

"It's a wonderful environment. Well, what should we make? What kind of sweetness is common in this country? Making the same thing is boring, and it would be helpful if you could tell me."

"Yes, this is the kind of sweetness that is common in this country. There are differences in taste, but they are similar."

Jonas has handed a basket-like basket. There is something like a cookie inside.

"Do you have one?"

"Of course.

When I tried it, it was a cookie. The texture is slightly sweet and crisp and delicious.

"It's delicious, but not all sweetness is in this form, right?"

"No, sweetness is this. It is a flour-based sweet bake."

How sweet is a cookie? There will be many sweet and delicious things.

"I see. I'll check the ingredients."

Check what seems to be a seasoning in a pottery jar. Is this sugar? Oh, sugar. Not brown but a little brown but sweet. The sweetness seems to be less than the sugar I know, but no problem. There are some kinds of salt, honey, various herbs and flour. Well, what should we make?

"Some are chilled here."

Jonas opened the door like a large shelf with a door. Inside there are eggs, various objects wrapped in packages, and pottery containers. Cold air came from inside the box.

"Oh! Is this !?"

"This is a magical tool to cool things. Perishables are in this box."

"Wonderful! There was something like this."

The shelves contained meat, dried fish, eggs, butter, milk and cheese. Okay, just adding eggs, butter and milk doesn't make it much wider.

Certainly, you can understand the desire to make cookies with these ingredients. But here I'm going to make something else. We can't afford to fail, so let's make something simple.

Make a steamed pudding of the earth. I prefer grilled pudding, but I don't know how to use the oven. It's better than weirdly failing.

Secure necessary ingredients. Milk, eggs, sugar, that's it.

The rest is a container. When I looked around the kitchen, there was a shelf for tableware. There are many small vessels that are good for pudding. Oh, there is also a strainer. My eyes are a bit rough, but it will be manageable.

A large pot with a lid that can be steamed with the container was also found. After that, I was looking for something that could be raised in the pot and raised it. The size is perfect for a large pot. Let's make this set a steamer.

"How many people should we make?"

"Well, maybe Alan and five more?"

Casually, Elna's minutes have been added.

"I see. Let's make a little more."

Think about the size and number of recipes in your head. Should be fine. The ingredients here are enough and the number of vessels is enough.

"By the way, how much is this?"

"Oh, sugar? About two silver coins in this pot."

Surprisingly cheap. Is it expensive? It is a general lodging for two nights.

Check the cooking utensils before you start cooking. There are two stands in the kitchen that heat the pot.

"What is this?"

"This is a magic tool that fires. I use it in this way."

Jonas moved the lever on the table. Then, a fire blows out from where the pot is placed. It seems that the power can be adjusted by moving the lever.

"This is also wonderful. I want it too."

"If you like, I will sell it at my affiliated store."

I'm doing anything.

First, let's make caramel sauce.

In a small saucepan, add sugar according to the recipe, add a little water and turn on low heat.

After a while, the sugar foams up, but if you leave it alone and heat it, it will turn to a nice brown color. Add a small amount of water and when it has just the right viscosity, it's done.

Put the heat from the pot into another container to cool down. After cooling to some extent, pour the caramel sauce into the pudding container little by little.

This time I will make 15 pieces.

Next, make the pudding solution. Put sugar and milk in a large pot and warm with a fire magic tool.

Let's mix the eggs while it's warming up. Break the eggs in a large bowl-like bowl and stir well. The point is to add some salt here.

Oops, have a steamer ready. Put a small amount of water in the large pot you found earlier, put the lid on the pot for raising the bottom, and heat it.

The milk seems to be warming up. Mix well to dissolve the sugar. When the temperature is about the same as the tea, turn off the heat and add to the stirred egg solution.

Here, we have Yonas help me and strain the liquid with a strainer. It was filtered twice to make sure.

Gently pour the finished pudding solution into a pudding container covered with caramel sauce. It became just 15 pieces. The calculation is perfect. After that, if you steam this, it will be completed.

It seems that the steamer has just warmed up. I can't get all of the fifteen, so let's steam it twice. Put half of the pudding container gently in a steamer and steam over low heat. The steaming time is about enough.

It has passed enough and seems to be steamed. Take it out carefully because it is hot. Add water to the steamer and start the second steaming process when it gets hot.

Let's taste one. Put it in a pot of water and let it cool. Once the rest has been removed, put it in a refrigerated magician.

Soon after the second steam. Remove from steamer and cool.

"Now it's almost finished. Then put it in a cooler to cool it."

"Is this completed? What a mysterious cooking method. I've never heard or seen it."

"It's sweet called pudding. Why don't you taste one?"

"Good! I can't predict the taste at all."

Take out the pudding that has been immersed and cooled.

"I will remove the pudding from the container this way."

Peel off the rim where the container and pudding are attached with your finger.

"After that, put the container on the plate and turn it upside down and shake it lightly, the pudding came out of the container."

"Oh! This is pudding!"

It looks pretty good. It has a cream pudding with a dark brown caramel sauce.

Cut it in half, divide it into different dishes and taste with Jonas.

Yeah, delicious. Not yet chilled, but with a modest sweetness that matches the sweet, slightly bittersweetness of the caramel sauce above. I really wanted to get some vanilla fruits from the earth, but the ingredients from the earth are expensive and can't be obtained. It will be more delicious if cooled.

Looking at Jonas, her eyes were rounded and hardened.

"Alan! What is this ?! I have never eaten such a delicious sweetness.

Whatever you say, you can only say pudding. Above all, pleased.

"If you cool it, it will be more delicious. Would you like this wife?"

"Of course! It looks like your wife and Tara will be happy now!"

"I'm glad if that happens. When will you eat this? I need some time to cool down, so I don't think it'll be in time for lunch."

It is almost noon.

"Oh, and I have to go get this tonight, so I want to go out in the afternoon."

"Okay, I understand. I'll check with my husband, but she's out for work now. Will you be back soon, can you wait?"

"understood"

Put all the pudding in the refrigerator and return to the room. The room had Beck and Thor.

"Mr. Alan! Please listen! The assessment of the load has been completed, but the amount has almost doubled the previous time!"

"Hey! That's terrible. I've been buying and being beaten so far."

"Well, that's the case, but Mr. Kattle says that my cotton is like high quality cotton that I can not see easily and that it has a high price."

"Yes, that was good."

"Yes! This is also thanks to Alan, because without Alan, this would not have happened."

"I don't do anything.

""Yes""

The room door was knocked.

"Jonas. Lunch is ready."

Tarus, Quatre, Clelia and Erna were sitting in the usual dining room. I was guided and sat down.

"Alan-san, I heard from Jonas. He seems to have made a wonderful sweetness."

"No, I just want to go with my mouth, but I'm excited now."

"Now unfortunately, Lana and Tara are being called by their neighbors. I'm going to have dinner."

"Okay, we'll be staying today, so I'd love to hear your comments at a later date."

"No, I really want Alan to stay at my home today. Of course, Erna there too."

"Eh? But how much trouble do you have?"

"That's ridiculous! There is an irreparable benefit to Alan and you can stay for any number of days.

"Okay, so I'm gonna take care of you for another night. Thank you."

Tarus is a good person. Beck and Thor are secretly delighted.

The dishes served for lunch were once again exquisite and delicious. Why is cooking at this level but not sweetness?

Oh yeah. You have to check the seasonings. I want to get seasonings other than salt by all means.

When the meal was about to end, Clelia talked.

"Alan, can I have time after the meal?

"all right"

At last he seems to talk about the situation.

After the meal, Beck and Thor seem to go shopping. Originally, village trade is a way to get the village's essentials, such as salt, and it seems that they are going to buy various things with the gold they sold.

I decided to talk in the room I rent. Erna is also present.

"Alan, I'm sorry to have hidden the situation so far."

"Good, there are many reasons?"

"I've already said that my name is Clelia Starvine, but I'm from the neighboring kingdom of Stawke."

Is the neighboring country the kingdom of Starvek? Hmm? It's a country name very similar to Clelia's name. Clelia looks like she said something important, but she doesn't understand anything.

"So?"

"Oh, I'm *** from the Starweg kingdom. No, ***

I don't understand the word.

"What is ***?"

"Clelia, is this man okay?"

"Don't say. Alain, no, Mr. Corinth didn't know this word until about a month ago.

"This guy is ** !?"

That word came out again. Everyone you meet is the word that Clelia is like. Am I also **? Even so, I'm worried that Clelia's wording seems to be overwhelming.

"*** means King's daughter"

King's daughter! In other words, a princess. I thought Clelia would be from a privileged class, a noble in a story or something, but I went over that expectation.

"Well, why was the princess there?"

"It has profound circumstances."

Then Clelia started a long story.

Coup d'etat in your country.

I was on inspection and not in the royal capital.

The whole family has been killed.

A visit from a relative to the country on request of the relatives to visit.

That relative was probably destroyed in a battle.

In order to shake off the pursuers, the guards were divided into eight carriages and left the country all at once.

I see, I met me while I was running away. Erna seems to be one of the other carriage escorts dispersed.

While talking, Clelia was crying, remembering that time.

"Yes, it was hard."

It's a tough job killing my family and chasing the country. Stroking Clelia's head. Clelia bowed her head and nodded. I started crying in earnest.

"... Mr. Corinth, please don't touch Clelia comfortably."

Clelia looked up and stopped crying.

"Erna, okay .. Mr. Corinth, this king of Berta is my relative.

When asked in detail, the squadron of Elna escorts was discouraged after the departure that there was no Clelia in the carriage, but headed to the Kingdom of Cecilio to attract the pursuers.

Upon arriving in the Kingdom of Cecilio, she hunted for several cities in search of Clelia, pretending to be an adventurer to hide herself as a knight, but was unable to find them. However, he seems to have met two other groups of escorts for carriages, but decided to act differently because it was noticeable to act in too many groups.

The group of Elna seems to have come to the Kingdom of Berta with a bet of hope. Knowing that the king of Berta was a relative of Clelia, he turned to the nobles of the region for help in searching.

Elna was acting alone in the unlikely event that Clelia appeared in the city. The aristocracy asked the king to run the horse and when the horse returned, the group was seized and taken away by carriage. The destination is probably the Kingdom of Starweg, which took place five days ago.

"In other words, the king of this country is on the side of the rebels. Perhaps they are trying to sell their favors. Elna, you really struggled."

"No, I have nothing to do. If Claire is safe, those who are caught will come up."

"I'd like to help the captives if possible ..."

"It was five days ago and there were nearly thirty knights on the transport carriage escort. The destination is not certain, it is difficult to catch up, and even if you catch up, it will be impossible to recapture."

"Really… "

"I don't know what to do now. Mr. Corinth, what would you do? Lending your wisdom will help."

I ask you what you care about.

"Celia, how awkward you've been, and wouldn't you have called me Alan, not Mr. Corinth?"

"Well, that's because I'm a royal family, or a former royal family, and Alain is **, so I thought so ..."

"I'm not saying you're noble, right?"

I believe that the word ** means noble.

"Well, because Alain has a family name?"

"that's right, but?"

I do not understand the meaning.

"Are you a family member but noble?"

"Yes, most people in my country have a family name, but they are not noble.

Some human planets do not use surnames. Nevertheless, I didn't know that Clelia considered me a noble.

"That's what happened. Yes, on this continent, only aristocrats have family names."

Clelia is shocked that I am not a noble. Elna had a convincing face.

"So, if I go back to what I would do, I wouldn't collect the information first, because without it I wouldn't be able to make the right decision. Hopefully, please reveal who Claire is. Tarus is probably the one and only one in the city, and I think Tarus can be trusted. "

At the time of the banquet, Jonas is most important to the merchant for information. He said he was spending a lot of money on getting information.

"I'll reveal Claire-sama's identity? I can't do it!

"If I'm wrong, I'll carry Clelia and run away at a glance."

"Can you escape with your own power! Don't say anything wrong!"

"No, if Alan is serious, the Knights will not be able to beat the adventurers of this city.

"Yes! Is that possible?"

"I can say it confidently, and be careful of how Erna and Alan speak well."

"Okay, sorry."

"I also believe in Tarus. Alan, I'm sorry but couldn't you be present at Tarz?"

"all right"

We left the room to meet Tars.
