This “Summon Kitchen” Skill is Amazing! ~Amassing Points by Cooking in Another World

CHAPTER 7 THIN BACON AND BLACK PEPPER

 "It's done!"

When I say those words, my whole body seems to have warped back to the room. 

Un. I see.

It seems like if I say 'It's done'. My body will return back or more like warp back to the room I was first in.

"Summon Kitchen" means I'll warp to the kitchen. While "It's done" will make me return.

Yosh, I have mastered it.

While I was smugly laughing, I heard a 'kon-kon'/knock-knock sound on my door. It's just that the timing was spot on that it made me startled.

"Y...yes!"

"Is it okay now?"

"Yes. Please."

Volvi Hurst-san. The Handsome Polar Bear.

He kinda mentioned about presence or aura or something but it seems like he's telling the truth.

That's because his timing is way too spot on! Just right when I came back, he started knocking already. Uuh. This is kinda bad for my heart.

Normally, you wouldn't know if someone is actually inside the room or not. Well sure, they can make sound or the sound of things can be heard but I haven't said anything or moved anything. 

That's why for him to know about it through sensing my presence alone...

... ... The Handsome Polar Bear is amazing.

While I was feeling moved by the Handsome Polar Bear's ability, the door opened and he came in and the moment he saw what I was holding on my hand, his blue-colored eyes started sparkling. 

"It looks delicious." 

"No. Not really. This isn't really something much. Even kids can do this."

"This...a kid can... ..."

With me being humble like this, for some reason and with excessive sparkly and glittering eyes, he started to stare at the dish I'm holding.

"For a kid to be able to cut bacon this thinly and in a uniform way... ..."

With eyes filled with doubt... ...He mumbled. Well, now I know why he was so surprised.

I see. It's because of that.

"No, no. It's not like that. This bacon was already cut in a uniform way and was something bought in a store." 

"Already cut?"

"Yes. In my former world, this thin bacon is more of a commoner's food while the big-block ones are the more expensive ones. 

"This level of skill is a commoner... ..."

'What a great swordsmanship skills' ... ... is what the Handsome Polar Bear said in a soft voice.

It wasn't really some sort of swordsmanship skill. 

In fact, it was probably some sort of machine that did it.

"This thin of a bacon is a first for me... .. The truth is, a while ago the one Isarai-sama was eating made me extremely curious. And if it was Isarai-sama who cut this bacon, I would really like to have a bout with you" 

"No. It's absolutely impossible."

To have a bout with someone who can do stuff like sensing someone's presence? It will be an instant kill.

"While it's still hot please eat this. Since it's not good to eat while standing up, please sit here on the sofa." 

Well, it would have been nice if there's a table in this room. 

That's why I told the Handsome Polar Bear to sit on the sofa. As we sat beside each other.

The Handsome Polar Bear was restraining himself but since there's nowhere else to sit down, he had no choice but to sit beside me. 

"How should I eat this?" 

"Just please it in any way you want. This isn't some fancy dish where there's an order on how to eat it." 

Even if you eat the white part first and leave the yolk last is fine and vice versa, even if you eat the bacon and egg separately, it's also fine. 

Eating this depending on your own preference, this is FREEDOM! And that is Bacon Egg! It has a big heart! (T/n: this doesn't mean in a literal way. It's more of a saying for being open-minded or understanding. In this case, it's the bacon egg. xD)

"Well then, Isarai-sama what is your suggestion on how to eat this?"

"My preference is it?"

"Yes"

While holding the fork, he looked at me with sparkling eyes. 

That's why in response to those eyes, I couldn't help but laugh. 

"Well then, first of all, please break the yolk a bit." 

"I see. The egg yolk is it" 

And with my words, the fork at the hands of the Handsome Polar Bear moved.

While softly poking on to the yolk, with a sound like -puchi- the thin part broke and the gooey egg yolk flowed over. 

"Next, with the gooey yolk, cut a bit of the white part and the bacon" 

"Yes"

The Bacon which was placed like the three streaks for the word river, while the last one was placed as if it's a lid over. And then the bacon on the lowest part on the left side is slowly sticking it with the white part and then slowly slice that part.

"And then eat it an amount just like that and fold it. Then stab it over in your fork." 

"Bacon and the white part is placed together in the fork?" 

"Yes" 
 The Handsome Polar Bear was able to do it with his skillful hands.

By eating it like that, the saltiness of the bacon along with the white part's texture is extremely delicious together.

but... ...

"Now then please try to dip the bacon and the white part to the egg yolk we just broke and then eat it." 

But I definitely want you to get addicted to it!

With my words, the Handsome Polar Bear did what I just said and ate it. 

"... ... Delicious"

He said spontaneously, to the point that he stopped speaking in a formal way. 

Saying it in a whisper like way shows that he really did find it delicious to the point that his mouth has loosened a bit. 

"While the bacon is cut thinly, there's still that fragrance to it. And without even the need to use a knife, being able to cut it easily is amazing. The oiliness of the bacon, the texture of the white part add the mellow flavour of the egg yolk... ..."

Stopping his words from there, as if he's rechecking the flavor, he started to take a bite again.

"This...is this black pepper?"

He asked while checking the bacon egg he was holding. 

He did say it was delicious, but could it be he's no good with the black pepper?

"A, are you no good with it?"

"No. It's really delicious. It's just that in this country we don't use black pepper in this sort of way."

... ... Could it be, that the black pepper is something valuable here?

Will there be crusaders here? Is this something so valuable that there's a struggle to get it? Does it have the same value as gold...!

"Do you not use black pepper much? Is it something very rare or something...?"

I asked as I remembered the relationship that the medieval Europe and India had. 

But the Handsome Polar Bear told me it's not like that.

"No. It's not because of that. Though it is true that as a seasoning black pepper is a bit on the expensive side but it's not like it's impossible to acquire it. It's just we use it by just rubbing it as a spice to the meat and then fry it, or place it on the soup but without crushing it. Using it is on a more common side. 

And again, his blue eyes started sparkling.

"It's just that it's my first time seeing it this finely smashed and sprinkling it on top of a dish. It's just bacon egg, but he looks at it as if he's looking at a treasure as he slowly examines it. 

And as if it's extremely delicious he ate some more.

"This is truly delicious. It definitely has a bit of heat (spiciness) but what's more is this aroma, is good. The aroma that burst when I eat it together with the bacon.

It seems like he really likes black pepper.

And without much time the bacon egg disappeared from his plate.

"It was truly delicious" 

It seems like he made sure to finish everything because even the gooey yolk on the plate is wiped clean. 

And while looking at me, he smiled as if he's really happy.

"Thank you for the meal" (T/n: gochisosamadeshita)

Seeing him like that, made me feel a bit stuffed. He always used to have those sharp eyes but right now it looks so gentle. 

... ... It's kinda cute.

Even though the Handsome Polar Bear is older than me, thinking like this is a bit weird but somehow he looks really cute.

His smile looks like a child's, an innocent smile. I couldn't even help but smile along with him.

"No, it's me who is thankful for eating it deliciously."

It was just a bacon egg. There wasn't even much trouble cooking it.

But really, saying that it was delicious makes me happy.

My heart becomes all warm and full. 

By smiling together, it seems like the distance can be shortened. 

And so while we were smiling together, the plate started shining brightly along with the fork he's holding and then--

"E, Something's shining... ..."

"This is... ..."

―― The Handsome Polar Bear is sparkling
