With my words as a signal, everyone in the knight order takes a bite of the tonkatsu all at once.
“So good!!”
“Oh no, it’s delicious!”
“What is this!”
“It’s crispy and juicy. . .!”
“Meat is so tasty. . .!”
“This sauce is so good!”
“The cabbage is also crunchy and delicious. . .”
Cheers rise from their mouths.
“It happened again. . . ! I was surprised by Isarai-sama’s meal again! It’s crunchy and hard on the outside, but I don’t understand why so much meat comes out from the inside! It’s fun!”
Among them, Garez-san raised his voice the loudest.
It’s the usual slitted eyes, so it’s hard to tell from the expression, but I was moved by the voice! It is transmitted firmly.
So I smiled and raised my thumb.
“. . . Tonkatsu is the best.”
This is the feast of victory! Please chant Tonkatsu!
“Tonkatsu is the best!!”
Everyone in the Knights followed my words and got excited.
“Shina-sama, then us too.”
“Yes.”
Looking at everyone getting excited, Hurst-san urges me to get down from the stage.
Ryleigh-kun, Zezgard-san, and Shizuku-chan were sitting at the table where I got off the stage, waiting for me to eat.
“Shina-san, I want to eat quickly!”
“Yeah. Let’s eat it while it’s hot.”
Ryleigh-kun can’t wait, so I quickly sit down in my chair and look at the tonkatsu on the table.
The fox color is dazzling, and the yellow-green color of the cabbage stood out. . .
“Shina-san, how should I eat it?”
“It’s okay to eat however you want, Ryleigh-kun. . . Well, first of all, try eating the tastiest part in the middle without putting any sauce on it.”
“Alright!”
Hearing my words, Ryleigh-kun picked up a piece of pork cutlet with a fork.
The center of the loin meat that had been cut with a kitchen knife so that it would be easier to eat. The tastiest part.
When he put it in his mouth. . .
“Delicious!”
Ryleigh-kun’s cheeks turn red, and a wide smile emerges.
“It’s so soft! I used to hate pork because it’s hard. But this is completely different from what I thought it would be!”
“It’s the same with all meat, but if you cook it too much, it will become tough. If it’s not tough, it means that the way it was cooked was just right.”
“Yeah! It’s just right!”
Ryleigh-kun’s young leaf-colored eyes shine.
Delicious! The eyes that tell me that are so happy that I smile too.
“Then, I’ll have some too.”
Hurst-san who is sitting in front of me brings the middle part of the meat to his mouth.
“. . . . Delicious.”
. . . The usual delicious sign.
“By wrapping the pork in this finely ground bread, the pork doesn’t lose too much moisture. It’s very soft, the fat that seeps from the inside is sweet, and the meat quality is also very good.”
“By coating the meat when frying it in oil, even if the meat is thick and cooked at a low temperature, the flavor does not escape.”
Thank you, Hurst-san.
He instantly sees that it is not hard, which means that it hasn’t lost too much moisture, and pays attention to the deliciousness of the black pork.
His light blue eyes were always twinkling, and my heart was warmly enveloping me.
“Next, please try to eat it with sauce.”
“Yes.”
“Yes!”
I recommended the sauce that was on the plate to the two of them.
The sauce, which is a mixture of Worcestershire sauce and ketchup, is thick and contains grains of sesame seeds.
The two put it on the tonkatsu, then took the end of the loin and popped it into their mouths.
“This is also very delicious!”
“This sauce is a little sweet and goes well with the meat.”
“This grain is fragrant and delicious!”
“Yes.”
The two of them were impressed by the sauce, so I smiled.
But this is not the end of tonkatsu.
“Then next have some cabbage.”
“Alright!”
Ryleigh-kun, who swallowed the meat, listened to my words and picked up the cabbage with a fork.
When the cabbage entered Ryleigh-kun’s mouth, the was a crisp chewing sound.
“Waah. . . my mouth feels refreshed!”
“Because the edges of the meat have a lot of fat, it’s refreshing to eat the cabbage in between.”
“Yeah! Fat is delicious, but it’s fatty, and you’ll get quickly. But is you eat cabbage like this, you’ll be able to eat forever!”
Yes. That’s the power of cabbage.
You can eat meat forever.
“I didn’t know you could eat so much just by cutting cabbage and adding it to the dish. It’s not just the color, it’s thoughtful and goes with the dish.”
Hurst-san scooped up the cabbage with a fork and stared at it.
Hurst-san seems to be trying to find out the secret of the food. . . and I think it’s cute.
After petting the polar bear that I secretly made in my heart, I turned my eyes back to the tonkatsu on the table.
“Well, me too. Itadakimasu.”
“. . . Itadakimasu.”
When I put my hands together, Shizuku-chan, who was sitting to my left, also said the greeting before the meal.
The middle part, which is the tastiest, is taken with a fork.
After the crunchy feeling, it pierces straight to the meat. Juices were already overflowing form the bitten part, and I hurriedly put it in my mouth so as not to spill it.
Then, the fragrance spread in my mouth at once. . .
“Mmm! It’s delicious. . .!”
After the bread crumbs mixed with the herbs give off a nice aroma, the meat rushes in like an angry wave. The taste of meat. . .!
Fine pork loin wrapped in crispy batter. Soft and juicy!
“It’s delicious.”
When I raise my voice in admiration, Shizuku-chan also raises her voice next to me.
Shizuku-chan’s cheeks loosened after she swallowed the meat, and a smile appeared on her face that seemed like she would melt away!
“Tonkatsu is delicious.”
“Yes!”
When two people laugh together, the world shines brightly.
. . . This is the power of meat.
“Damn. . . It’s also good today. . .”
When I was laughing with Shizuku-chan, I heard a faint voice from Zezgard-san, who was sitting diagonally opposite me, in front of Shizuku-chan.
“The meat is delicious. . . Gyabussh. . . Gyabussh. . . Shit.”
Zezgard-san, who was eating greedily, placed his hand and glared at me.
And he raised his voice, Hey!
“This! Is there one for Gyabussh?”
“For Gyabussh?”
“That’s right. Gyabussh can’t enter the cafeteria, so he’ll be waiting outside!. . . Maybe he would want to eat this dish. So. . .”
His golden eyes were fidgeting, thinking of Gyabussh.
I didn’t think Zezgard-san was in favor of making food for Gyabussh.
So it’s the first time I’ve been told something like this.
But the tonkatsu is so delicious that he wanted to give it to Gyabussh.
Recognize. I want to share something delicious. I recognize it.
“I thought I’d wrap it in an egg later and take it to Gyabussh.”
Tonkatsu is delicious freshly fried, but it will be cold by the time it gets to Gyabussh.
So I was thinking of wrapping it in an egg and sending it to Gyabussh.
“Ah, Thruster-san too.”
Yes. Just in case. Same for Thruster-san.
Even now, he keeps the members of the special squad in check.
“It’s a waste of time for Shina-san to do anything for Nii-san’s sake.”
“Yes. He doesn’t need it.”
Ryleigh-kun and Hurst-san quickly shook their heads at my suggestion.
. . . . . . Thruster-san.
“But if Shina-san wants, just tell me and I’ll make it for you!”
“Oh, that’s good. That’s right. It seems like it will make him happy.”
Surely.
Handmade by Ryleigh-kun. Just looking at it will make him hyperventilate.
“Then, after lunch, I’ll make it for Gyabussh, so can you make it for Thruster-san?”
“Yes!”
Ok, this is solved.
Zezgard-san can share with Gyabussh, and Thruster-san gets the best reward, so I can only be happy.
“. . . Come to think of it, Gyabussh said he wanted to fly with you.”
“Eh”
It’s delicious now, but it might fly away somewhere.
“Ah. . .Is that so. . . But riding Gyabussh is. . .”
It might be hard. In various ways.
“Shina-san, have you ever ridden Gyabussh?”
Shizuku-chan tilts her head when I look far away.
I see. Shizuku-chan has never seen Gyabussh in riding mode.
“If you put a basket on his back, Gyabussh can fly with several people, but I also got on it. Because it would be faster to fly to the Northern Knights.”
“Is that so”
“But I get really sick. . . I wonder if I’ll ever want to fly again.”
It felt like a drunk + catastrophe.
I wondered if I would ever ride.
“Is it okay if Zezgard-san tells him that I can’t fly because I’m going to make a lot of food?”
I’ll say it myself, but my words won’t get through.
I’ll leave this to Zezgard-san, who has the [Dragon Knight] skill.
Zezgard-san just replied back to me like that. . . but I believe. I believe I will never fly again.
“Shizuku-chan, you came in a carriage, right?”
So, in order to change the topic, I turned to Shizuku-chan.
When she was greeted by the knights, she was riding in a carriage.
“Yes. It took about a week.”
“A week or so. . .Longer than you’ve been here.”
After all, a horse-drawn carriage would take about that long.
It’s been about three days since Shizuku-chan came here.
I felt like we spent a lot of time together because of various things, but the time we spent together was still very short.
After nodding, Shizuku-chan placed the fork she was holding on the table.
“. . . Shina-san.”
Serious dark eyes.
Those eyes weren’t shaking like they were when we first met. . .
“I-I’m going back to the royal palace.”
Eyes that are looking straight ahead.
Hearing those words, I swallowed the tonkatsu I had in my mouth.
“. . .I really want to be with Shina-san all the time. But now I know what magic beasts are and what kind of people are actually fighting. . . I thought it would be dangerous if things went on like this.”
“. . . . Yes.”
“That’s why I also. . .I think I’ll do what I can.”
. . . . . I knew. We can’t be together forever.
But even though we just met. . .
“I wanted to meet Shina-san. . . I wanted to meet and talk about various things. . . Shina-san accepted me like that. . .”
Shizuku-chan held her hand in front of her chest.
“. . . Even now, I’m still wondering why it’s me. I have anger and resentment. . . I do. . .but still.”
The hand in front of her chest seems to tremble a little.
However, the eyes looking up at me didn’t waver.
“. . . Because I thought Shina-san was cool.”
And then, Shizuku-chan smiled with strong eyes.
“. . . I thought I wanted to be cool too.”
I don’t know if I can. . .
I have so little to add.
“Shizuku-chan. . .”
. . . What should I say?
‘Do your best’, ‘I’m rooting for you’. Do I wave her forward like that?
‘Don’t overdo it’, ‘You don’t have to do that’. Do I make an escape route and pull her hand?
I don’t know which on is correct. I don’t know which will be better for Shizuku-chan.
That’s why. . .
“. . .I will support Shizuku-chan.”
Either way, I feel irresponsible. . .So I said neither.
Instead, I grabbed Shizuku-chan’s hand that was trembling.
Both the right and left hand. I grabbed her hands and wrapped them tightly in front of her chest.
“Even if Shizuku-chan achieves something. Even if you can’t. . .Any kind of Shizuku-chan.”
She wanted to meet me.
And so she came to see me.
I told her we would do something fun. . .Not yet. Not enough at all.
There are so many more fun things to do.
“If there’s anything that makes Shizuku-chan happy, I’ll go see you.”
Rejoice together. . .
“If something sad happens to Shizuku-chan, I’ll go help you.”
Laugh together. . .
“I won’t leave Shizuku-chan alone.”
. . .Never again.
. . . .So that day will never come when you feel alone.
“. . . . . .Thank you.”
Shizuku-chan’s eyebrows lowered at my words.
It feels like she’s about to break. . . I feel like she’s about to cry. . .
Nevertheless. . .
No tears spilled from her determined black eyes.
Shizuku has decided to move forward and do what she can in the new world. I was hoping for some romance between her and Ryleigh. I wonder if Shina and Hurst’s love will progress more in the chapters following Shizuku’s return to the palace?

It's very soft, the fat that seeps from the inside is sweet, and the meat quality is also very good.By coating the meat when frying it in oil, even if the meat is thick and cooked at a low temperature, the flavor does not escape.Thank you, Hurst-san.He instantly sees that it is not hard, which means that it hasn't lost too much moisture, and pays attention to the deliciousness of the black pork.His light blue eyes were always twinkling, and my heart was warmly enveloping me.Next, please try to eat it with sauce.Yes.Yes!I recommended the sauce that was on the plate to the two of them.The sauce, which is a mixture of Worcestershire sauce and ketchup, is thick and contains grains of sesame seeds.The two put it on the tonkatsu, then took the end of the loin and popped it into their mouths.This is also very delicious!This sauce is a little sweet and goes well with the meat.This grain is fragrant and delicious!Yes.The two of them were impressed by the sauce, so I smiled.But this is not the end of tonkatsu.Then next have some cabbage.Alright!Ryleigh-kun, who swallowed the meat, listened to my words and picked up the cabbage with a fork.When the cabbage entered Ryleigh-kun's mouth, the was a crisp chewing sound.Waah. . . my mouth feels refreshed!Because the edges of the meat have a lot of fat, it's refreshing to eat the cabbage in between.Yeah! Fat is delicious, but it's fatty, and you'll get quickly. But is you eat cabbage like this, you'll be able to eat forever!Yes. That's the power of cabbage.You can eat meat forever.I didn't know you could eat so much just by cutting cabbage and adding it to the dish. It's not just the color, it's thoughtful and goes with the dish.Hurst-san scooped up the cabbage with a fork and stared at it.Hurst-san seems to be trying to find out the secret of the food. . . and I think it's cute.After petting the polar bear that I secretly made in my heart, I turned my eyes back to the tonkatsu on the table.Well, me too. Itadakimasu.. . . Itadakimasu.When I put my hands together, Shizuku-chan, who was sitting to my left, also said the greeting before the meal.The middle part, which is the tastiest, is taken with a fork.After the crunchy feeling, it pierces straight to the meat. Juices were already overflowing form the bitten part, and I hurriedly put it in my mouth so as not to spill it.Then, the fragrance spread in my mouth at once. . .Mmm! It's delicious. . .!After the bread crumbs mixed with the herbs give off a nice aroma, the meat rushes in like an angry wave. The taste of meat. . .!Fine pork loin wrapped in crispy batter. Soft and juicy!It's delicious.When I raise my voice in admiration, Shizuku-chan also raises her voice next to me.Shizuku-chan's cheeks loosened after she swallowed the meat, and a smile appeared on her face that seemed like she would melt away!Tonkatsu is delicious.Yes!When two people laugh together, the world shines brightly.. . . This is the power of meat.Damn. . . It's also good today. . .When I was laughing with Shizuku-chan, I heard a faint voice from Zezgard-san, who was sitting diagonally opposite me, in front of Shizuku-chan.The meat is delicious. . . Gyabussh. . . Gyabussh. . . Shit.Zezgard-san, who was eating greedily, placed his hand and glared at me.And he raised his voice, Hey!This! Is there one for Gyabussh?For Gyabussh?That's right. Gyabussh can't enter the cafeteria, so he'll be waiting outside!. . . Maybe he would want to eat this dish. So. . .His golden eyes were fidgeting, thinking of Gyabussh.I didn't think Zezgard-san was in favor of making food for Gyabussh.So it's the first time I've been told something like this.But the tonkatsu is so delicious that he wanted to give it to Gyabussh.Recognize. I want to share something delicious. I recognize it.I thought I'd wrap it in an egg later and take it to Gyabussh.Tonkatsu is delicious freshly fried, but it will be cold by the time it gets to Gyabussh.So I was thinking of wrapping it in an egg and sending it to Gyabussh.Ah, Thruster-san too.Yes. Just in case. Same for Thruster-san.Even now, he keeps the members of the special squad in check.It's a waste of time for Shina-san to do anything for Nii-san's sake.Yes. He doesn't need it.Ryleigh-kun and Hurst-san quickly shook their heads at my suggestion.. . . . . . Thruster-san.But if Shina-san wants, just tell me and I'll make it for you!Oh, that's good. That's right. It seems like it will make him happy.Surely.Handmade by Ryleigh-kun. Just looking at it will make him hyperventilate.Then, after lunch, I'll make it for Gyabussh, so can you make it for Thruster-san?Yes!Ok, this is solved.Zezgard-san can share with Gyabussh, and Thruster-san gets the best reward, so I can only be happy.. . . Come to think of it, Gyabussh said he wanted to fly with you.EhIt's delicious now, but it might fly away somewhere.Ah. . .Is that so. . . But riding Gyabussh is. . .It might be hard. In various ways.Shina-san, have you ever ridden Gyabussh?Shizuku-chan tilts her head when I look far away.I see. Shizuku-chan has never seen Gyabussh in riding mode.If you put a basket on his back, Gyabussh can fly with several people, but I also got on it. Because it would be faster to fly to the Northern Knights.Is that soBut I get really sick. . . I wonder if I'll ever want to fly again.It felt like a drunk + catastrophe.I wondered if I would ever ride.Is it okay if Zezgard-san tells him that I can't fly because I'm going to make a lot of food?I'll say it myself, but my words won't get through.I'll leave this to Zezgard-san, who has the Dragon Knight skill.Zezgard-san just replied back to me like that. . . but I believe. I believe I will never fly again.Shizuku-chan, you came in a carriage, right?So, in order to change the topic, I turned to Shizuku-chan.When she was greeted by the knights, she was riding in a carriage.Yes. It took about a week.A week or so. . .Longer than you've been here.After all, a horse-drawn carriage would take about that long.It's been about three days since Shizuku-chan came here.I felt like we spent a lot of time together because of various things, but the time we spent together was still very short.After nodding, Shizuku-chan placed the fork she was holding on the table.. . . Shina-san.Serious dark eyes.Those eyes weren't shaking like they were when we first met. . .I-I'm going back to the royal palace.Eyes that are looking straight ahead.Hearing those words, I swallowed the tonkatsu I had in my mouth.. . .I really want to be with Shina-san all the time. But now I know what magic beasts are and what kind of people are actually fighting. . . I thought it would be dangerous if things went on like this.. . . . Yes.That's why I also. . .I think I'll do what I can.. . . . . I knew. We can't be together forever.But even though we just met. . .I wanted to meet Shina-san. . . I wanted to meet and talk about various things. . . Shina-san accepted me like that. . .Shizuku-chan held her hand in front of her chest.. . . Even now, I'm still wondering why it's me. I have anger and resentment. . . I do. . .but still.The hand in front of her chest seems to tremble a little.However, the eyes looking up at me didn't waver.. . . Because I thought Shina-san was cool.And then, Shizuku-chan smiled with strong eyes.. . . I thought I wanted to be cool too.I don't know if I can. . .I have so little to add.Shizuku-chan. . .. . . What should I say?Do your best', I'm rooting for you'. Do I wave her forward like that?Don't overdo it', You don't have to do that'. Do I make an escape route and pull her hand?I don't know which on is correct. I don't know which will be better for Shizuku-chan.That's why. . .. . .I will support Shizuku-chan.Either way, I feel irresponsible. . .So I said neither.Instead, I grabbed Shizuku-chan's hand that was trembling.Both the right and left hand. I grabbed her hands and wrapped them tightly in front of her chest.Even if Shizuku-chan achieves something. Even if you can't. . .Any kind of Shizuku-chan.She wanted to meet me.And so she came to see me.I told her we would do something fun. . .Not yet. Not enough at all.There are so many more fun things to do.If there's anything that makes Shizuku-chan happy, I'll go see you.Rejoice together. . .If something sad happens to Shizuku-chan, I'll go help you.Laugh together. . .I won't leave Shizuku-chan alone.. . .Never again.. . . .So that day will never come when you feel alone.. . . . . .Thank you.Shizuku-chan's eyebrows lowered at my words.It feels like she's about to break. . . I feel like she's about to cry. . .Nevertheless. . .No tears spilled from her determined black eyes.Shizuku has decided to move forward and do what she can in the new world. I was hoping for some romance between her and Ryleigh. I wonder if Shina and Hurst's love will progress more in the chapters following Shizuku's return to the palace?I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
