Level Up Just By Eating

Chapter 37: Light work and Kehma's resolution

Translated by kuronochan

And while doing this and that, the time for lunch has come.

"Maybe I should make something exquisite today."

Being in a good mood, I started to check the ingredients inside the carriage.

I received this and that from the elf village, so there are ample of them.

"Ground meat, green lettuce, there's also bread and egg huh......"

There are also lots of condiments.

Salt and sugar, of course, there are also spices, vinegar, olive oil, etc.

A certain idea came up to me.

I should make it......

I should make......that......!

I took out eggs, vinegar, salt, pepper, and mustard.

"Kehma-sama!!"

"Kehma-dono!!"

Femil and Rorona came to me.

" " Is there anything that I can help with?!! " "

The two of them said at the same time.

"If it's like that, Femil, can you make hamburgers with this ground meat?"

"Yes!!"

"Rorona, look at me intently."

"L-Look at K-Kehma-dono......?"

Rorona suddenly flushed her cheeks red and stared at me.

Her lips pursed, and with wet eyes "Jii?......", she stared at me.

"No, sorry, I didn't mean that."

"Fuha?!"

Rorona flinched and regained her sanity.

"S-S-S-Sorry!! Kehma-dono!!

I-It's not like I had that in mind!!"

"That?"

"No! It's......! Fuaaan............"

Rorona covered her face that was dyed with red with both of her hands.

It is difficult to say whether she likes me or admires me, but she a very easy woman huh1.

I took the eggs, vinegar, salt, pepper, and mustard.

Also, I took with me the oil that is the most important.

"What I meant by look at me is, look at how I work."

"U-Umu!"

Rorona made a small nod.

I cracked the egg to a nearby square box.

And opened it with my right hand.

The passive skill that I haveーーthe Breaking Raw Egg with Right Hand activated.

In this world where level 4 is called as masters and monsters with level 5, it is a one-handed breaking egg that is level 6.

The cracked egg showed an artistic distortion by gravity and fell beautifully into the container.

The egg that fell because of the level 6 skill was really beautiful.

It was like a full moon shining endlessly.

It has been a while since I opened an egg, but it looks like my skills have yet to deteriorate.

"Fufufu......"

I am satisfied.

"Kehma-dono......?"

Rorona continued to work albeit a little confused.

I separated the whites of the egg from the yolk, and placed the yolk into a bowl.

I also added vinegar, mustard, salt, and spices.

It would be great if there is an eggbeater, but I used the fork since there is none.

I mixed it like GashaGashaGasha.

"Kehma-dono."

"n?"

"Are you not, putting the oil?"

"That's the trick and point."

"I-Is that so......"

I took the oil-filled cup.

It's about 120cc per one egg yolk.

I can only estimate since there is no measuring cup, but I believe my Egg Cooking LV2.

"Just like this, it's important to pour it while making fine lines okay?"

"U-Umu......!"

Rorona nodded albeit confused.

She cannot be blamed, after all, she was not informed about what she is making.

However, if it was not slowly poured, the vinegar and oil will separate.

Just like the proverb oil and water, vinegar and oil are food that repels each other like with water.

And adding the egg yolk there as an intermediary is the point of this dish.

That's why, one must make the egg yolk permeate with the vinegar properly or else it would not mix properly.

And adding to that, vinegar must be added first.

If oil were added first, it would have a sticky texture.

The common mistake when making this dish is when oil was added first.

I mixed it slowly while looking at the egg and oil connect carefully.

Just like the water-filled bamboo tube which clacks against a stone when emptied in a Japanese garden, it is wabi-sabi2.

Just like that, the condiment that was born, Mayonnaise.

It is a seasoning that appeals to the instinct of human beings that is said to prefer light acidity and oil content.

I licked the fork.

"Good mayonnaise."

(Goku! )

Rorona gulped with her fine throat.

"Does Rorona want to taste too?"

"I-Is it alright......?"

"I won't ask you if it is."

"But......"

Rorona looked at the fork and my lips alternately.

"Do you hate it since I took a lick first?"

"No, I do not mean that at all!"

Rorona said while stepping forward and held my hand.

She closed her eyes and started to breathe roughly.

Her tongue showed, her face turned as if she was licking something that needs to have a mosaic.

(Chiro......, chiro! chiro!)

It's sexy.

Her face is so sexy.

Her hand that holds my hand is hot as well.

I feel like I might become weird.

"A......Anyways, if you're finished, make some mayonnaise just like how I did it right now."

"U......Umu!!"

Rorona nervously nodded.

She started to work.

It looks like its going well although she seems to be a little stiff.

I looked towards Femil.

It looks like Femil was diligently working with her back facing mine.

Her cute tail and butt were swaying charmingly.

Femil who seem to be a half bunny beast-kin and dog beast-kin has bunny ears and dog tail.

How sly.

How sly it is really.

I decided to harass her sexually.

"How's it going?"

"Hyan!!"

I embraced her from behind and kneaded her breasts.

"What happened? Your hands have stopped."

"Kehma-samaa?......!"

She gave me a voice of pleading, but I did not mind and continued to knead.

"Auu????n...... Ah! Hyaauuu......!!"

Femil completed her job even though she moaned charmingly.

Good girl.

"Is there nothing for me?!"

"You want to be touched too?"

"Kyaa!!"

Laura who had her huge breasts poked shouted while covering her own chest.

"Not that! Idiot! Kehma you pervert!"

"Then what is it?"

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'm saying I'll especially work for today!"

The shitty useless goddess Laura who loves to laze around seem to be a little lonely because everyone else other than her is working.

What a troublesome personality.

"If so, go crack some eggs for Rorona."

"I got it! This Goddess's Great and Famous Egg Breaking Technique, watch it with close attention!!"

The idiot Laura needlessly raised the hurdle.

It cannot be helped, so I looked at her silently.

"Kufufufu, fu......"

Laura's hands were awkward.

The hand that holds the egg was shaking.

Even her eyes that stared at the solid box seemed dangerous.

That's a crazy person's eyes that have killers as their main diet.

There is no doubt that if a clueless exorcist is in here, they would start a ceremony to seal an evil god.

And Lauraーー.

She crushed the egg with her hand.

The white egg became something like a crushed snail.

Humpty Dumpty was carried by Laura,

Humpty Dumpty was crushed by Laura,

All the king's horses and all the kings men couldn't put Humpty together again.

"Fueeen, Kehmaa?......"

Laura felt disgusted of the whites and yellows of the egg that mixed in her hand and got teary eyed.

"Are you hurt?"

"It hurts a little......"

The tip of her pointing hand was slightly torn by the egg's shell.

"Oh really, it cannot be helped."

"Fueeeen......"

I took Laura's hand while she felt downhearted and wiped the egg with a cloth.

"Heal."

"T-T-T-This time, Kehma's kind huh!!"

"Ah?"

"Since it's Kehma, I thought that you'd say something like 『Don't fucking waste food!』, and make me lick the egg off the floor!!"

What's with that?

Even I could not think of that.

Butーー.

"There was such thing huh."

I grabbed Laura's head.

"No, no way, no way right? It's a joke right?!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!! Nooooooooooooo!!

No, no, no, don't, stop, pleaseeeeeeeーーーーーーーー!!!"

She hated it more than I expected to I let go of her head.

"Kehma you idiot!! Idiot, idiot, idiot!! You sadistic demon!!"

"Isn't demon a little too much? I didn't acted on it after all."

"Well, that is true......"

It was a slightly irrational objection, but Laura was convinced.

"But, since you're not a demon, uhmmm............"

She deeply thought of this and that, and said in the end.

"Kehma you angel!"

"Eh?!"

"Kehma you angel! Idiot!! Great and Famous Sadistic Angel!!!!"

It was the unexpected angel recognition.

I mean, what kind of existence is that? Great and Famous Sadistic Angel?

Is that a mohawk-haired burly man with spikes on his shoulders?

『Hyahhaa! Bury those fucking trash properly, make them bloom beautiful flowers!!』

『You damn worthless old man! I'd be like healing that damn broken waist in a jiffy!!』

『Gohahahaha! Even if you scream no, I'll fucking give your village fresh and nutritional food!!』

『Grow up and get fatter! You fucking starved kitten!!』

I could not help but imagine such thing.

However, if it's like that, it's a good person.

That's why, I'm a good person huh!

I should continue bullying Laura from now on!
