Dopa Norres, who had finished eating the food prepared by the fake Elena, bowed his head just a little.

"It was delicious, Elena!"

"...... But this kechappu?　But how did you make this?　How did you make it?"

Rokou b. Shiharou also wondered.

"I wanted to make Worcestershire sauce, but I couldn't find the ingredients, so I had no choice but to make this.

Fake Elena explained briefly.

"I made it with tomatillos (tomatoes), onions, sugar, salt, pepper, and vinegar.

Fake Elena explained that the garlic and peppercorns would also add depth of flavor.

"Mmm, such a great taste with such ingredients. ......"

With amazement Dopa Norres reported back to the king.

"Wow, I didn't know she could make such a delicious dish. ......

Niestor Cirillo Jagus, Duke of Jagus, was intrigued.

"...... tomorrow night, bring a dish to my place, just a little something."

And he wanted to try it himself.

"Yes, I understand."

"...... If you can make a better dish if you have more ingredients, just have them bring the ingredients to the Nostalgia party.

* * *

The next night, the 24th.

"Oh, is this what that woman made?"

"Yes. She said it was something that tasted good even if it got cold.

It's not omelet?

It looked like tamagoyaki to me.

He said it was a dashimaki tamago.

"Fuumu......"

It was the first time he had heard of this dish.

Did you eat it?

"Yes, I'm sorry. It was delicious.

Dopa Norres bowed his head apologetically, as it would have been strange to leave it untouched at that moment.

"Well, that's all right."

He waved his hand in a nonchalant manner,

"Here, let's try it.

He stuck a fork in a bite-sized piece and brought it to his mouth.

"Mmm ...... this is ...... delicious!"

The ingredients for dashimaki tamago are egg, sugar, white soup stock, mayonnaise, and water.

All you have to do is mix all the ingredients and make it as an omelet.

The trick is to make it so that the mayonnaise is not completely mixed in.

Incidentally, mayonnaise is not available in the Principality of Jags, so the fake Elena used eggs, vinegar, vegetable oil, and a little pepper to make mayonnaise.

Also, there was no white soup stock, so the taste was a few notches lower than the original dashimaki tamago, but it still tasted better than what can be tasted in the Duchy of Jagus today.

"Ummm...... can you make something this good with only the ingredients we have in our country......"

And then the king noticed.

"Hey, you've eaten more delicious food, haven't you?"

"Yes, I have."

"Yes. ......"

The king began to hate Dopa for having eaten other foods that he had never eaten before, even if it was only for research purposes, and Rokou Bee Shiharou for having eaten them all his life.

"I can't let them out of the <>, ...... though."

The Prince would like to have this kind of meal every day, and after thinking about it, he came up with an idea.

* * * * * * * * * * *

On the morning of the 25th.

"Elena-sama, please take good care of me."

"Yes, yes. ......"

<

The king's plan was to have the fake Elena help him cook, learn the recipe, and then cook the same recipe at the palace.

The morning menu would be reproduced the next morning, the noon menu the next day, and the evening menu the next night.

There might be some deterioration in the cooking method, but we thought that this could be covered by the quality of the ingredients.

Therefore, two cooks took turns working for the fake Elena.

And this is an unexpected turn of events, but the fake Elena decides that this is also a good opportunity.

She kindly and carefully teaches the young male cook who comes to her.

"Elena-sama, could you please teach me how to make this "mayonnaise"?

"Yes, sure. This is ......."

<, so there is no problem to teach it to you.

If you have it, a little bit of mustard will give it more flavor.

"Hmmm, I see."

And again,

"Elena-sama, this "soup stock" is amazing.

"It's similar to 'Phong', but using different types of dashi, such as vegetable, animal, and seafood dashi, gives depth to dishes.

"Haha, I see. ......"

He was very enthusiastic.

The next day, the same chef would come back the day after that to prepare the recipe he had learned here for the noble king.

And the day after that, the 27th.

"Elena, it's nice to meet you."

"It's been two days. Did the cooking go well?

Fake Elena asked with a smile. The cook nodded with a slight blush on his face.

"Yes, yes!　Thanks to you, Your Majesty is satisfied!

"Yes, I'm glad to hear that."

Fake Elena smiled and the still young cook's cheeks turned even brighter.

"Now, what we are going to make today is ......".

In between these explanations, the fake Elena throws in some light chit-chat.

"Have you been cooking for His Majesty for a long time already?

or "How long have you been cooking for His Majesty?

"When did you start learning how to cook?

These are seemingly innocuous questions.

However, the answers, such as "I have been cooking for His Majesty's meals for 5 years now," and "I have been a dedicated cook since I was 10 years old," suggest that the cook has not been brainwashed by force, but by education. The cook is not being brainwashed by force, but by education.

We are also able to obtain information through communication with these royal family members.

All these information are sent to Horai Island by the built-in manacam.

The old man is steadily accumulating information about the Duchy of Jagusu.
