I Decided to Cook Because the Losing Potion Was Soy Sauce Chapter 17

17.

"I see…, err. Eveyone was silent, but I am, a little bit of elf's blood is flowing.”

Elf?

Woaah, It's Fantasy!

“Growth is slower than human”

Oh, He mean longevity tribe, elf.

“Even if I look like this, I am 28 years old only by age”

Hmm?

Huh?

What?

It is a legal Shota!

No no no, apparently the brain is not an adult but still a junior high school brain. Impossible, Because I do not have such dangerous feeling, liking a guy with appearance of junior high school students. Even if he has an age near my actual age, impossible is impossible! 

shake my head to the side as fast as possible.

“… On the contrary is it too old?”

No, it's not, I'm still older. What am I supposed to do?

I mean, how old do you think I am!

“Well, of course, wait for Yuri-san to grow up, in the form of engagement,… that me, five years from now, the gap between appearance and age will be gone so much …”

Hearing what he said, Im just smiling, I can not laugh at it.

“No, that's not what I really care about. Unn, well, You do not need such a thing like taking a responsibility or getting married!”

I"t's not about taking responbility…. when first time I saw a big black eyes, I thought it was attractive. Also Yuri-san figure when defeating slime with quick movement was cool. And … I was attracted to the place where you can make delicious things. Even though I thought about graduating from potions field without saying anything, but that … “

Even if you said it with a bold face…

It is not realistic as a kindergarten child tells the nursery school teacher ” to marry teacher”.

Because it is a boy who looks like only a junior high school student in front of me. Even if he said that his age is 28 years old …

“I'm sorry, that's…”

I thought it might hurt if the person himself is concerned though. It is a crime to have expectations halfway.

Surely, if he leave the potion field for a while, he will forget it.

“I can not get married to a man whose appearance is younger!”

Lower my head and bow once again.

Bryce-kun get on his knees while holding his chest.

Uuu, sorry. But, but…

“Yeah, Yuri-san, I was going to endure 5 years anyway, because my elf's blood would be strong, my growth was slow. After five years, I will became an elf-like guy and come to see Yuri-san once again.”

Huh?

What is a Elf like man?

I wonder if his ears are pointy and He have a bow and arrow? …… I dont know about elves that much.

“Yuri-san, shall we take the fish? Are you gonna cook it?"

“Well, I think that if I have soy sauce you can eat fish deliciously. But actually I think it would be nice to have salt. “

I did not usually eat freshwater fish, so salt-grilled sweetfish that came to my mind. even if I use only soy sauce, It should be delicious.

“Soy sauce was really delicious, Salty like a salt. It was a strange taste that would be savory when burned.”

“I see, oh right, what kind of seasoning is there in this world? Is salt and sugar ordinarily available? Are there spices as well?”

“I do not know that much about food because I do not cook. Since salt is managed by the country, it will not cost a lot of money as long as it's available. Sugar is a luxury item, what a nobleman eats. I think Spice is something eaten by nobility”

Really. Well, which world is similar?

Historically on the earth, both sugar and pepper had the same value as gold.

And whether the salt is managed by the country is subject to taxation or whether the country is not facing the sea at all must depend on trade ….

If it is difficult to obtain spices, what about herbs?

There seemed to be several herbs in the fields,but I don't know the herbs appearance.

Bryce-kun back to as usual. It looks like a kid but the contents are adult, I guess he care about not to have trouble with me.

Well, I wonder if the temporary excitement has already go down and he feel calm.

“Dinner is complete!”

I baked the fish in the oven. I asked Bryce-kun to watch the fire of the rice being cooked.

With a don, I put a pot in the table.  TLN: Don, Big impact SFX .

“Only this much but please eat a lot."

Because there is no ladle, Scoop a large spoon into the pot.

“Oh, yeah, There was one more thing. Please wait."
