Chapter 680 - Grow Up Big and Strong~♪
The first song was "Souls to the Goddess." Since the performance data had been recorded, Yata-sensei was set to play it back. In the meantime...
"Okay, I'm heading to the island."
"Yes. Have a safe trip."
[Matchiru] "Are they a newlywed couple?" [Utagetee] "Is there no one among the listeners who can produce a wall!!" [Shakeena] "Grinning (・∀・)" [Amatsunoyu] "This is good, this is good~ (
´∇` )" etc.
...I better hurry and log in.
"Woof!"
I caught Lupi as she jumped at me, patted her for a while, then rushed to the backyard. Sweee and the Fairies, Shal's group, Pan's group, True's group who I'd picked up earlier... everyone was there to greet me. The White Dragon Princess, El-san, and Emeraldia-san were waiting too, so I had to finish the cooking.
"Ah, yes."
Today's meal was hamburgers. I'd just gotten Hogany Bull meat, so I made a mix with Ranziboa meat. In case True and the others didn't like it, I also prepared Oranjack (horse mackerel) Sangayaki.
Now, let us connect to the island. Shou-kun, Lupi-chan, and everyone on the island!
"Welcome, Mion." "Woof!"
Following Lupi and me, the fairies all gave their greetings. I wondered if Sweee and the others had taken the lead? I didn't know when they'd learned such a trick.
What are we doing today?
"It's a party to celebrate the release of Mion's album. We'll all eat together and have Mion sing for us. We'll have chats and a question corner between songs."
[Bearmen] "Mion-chan, on stage! ヽ(´▽`)/" [Mii] "Will Sweee-chan and the White Dragon Princess sing too?" [Peppermi] "You should sing too, Shou-kun." [Mamrock] "What is today's dish?" etc.
"Okay, I'll finish up the cooking, so can you log in while I do that?"
Yes!
I had to keep talking while Mion was logging in.
"Okay, let's get started."
When I thought about it, talking by myself for a long time was hard... Uh, I moved to the kitchen while checking the comments. First, I wanted to show the seasonings and tools I'd had delivered.
"What I'm making today is a dish made using these."
The most important one was the Mincer. Thanks to this, making the ground meat mix was incredibly easy. I could make a lot of the mix and keep it in the storage box. I hoped the White Dragon Princess would like it.
[Mattoru] "So it really is hamburgers?" [Rossan] "Really!? Where are they sold!?" [Ansuma] "Meat spaghetti is good too." [Kurando] "Maybe Keema curry?" etc.
Ah, I hadn't thought of meat sauce at all. I'd make that next time. Keema curry, stuffed cabbage, or stuffed peppers would be good too, but I didn't have any bell peppers...
"The Mincer was purchased from the mainland, and it's thanks to the Master Chef."
While I was talking about the other things I'd bought, Mion logged in and arrived.
"I am back."
"Welcome back. Let's get started, shall we?"
"Yes."
With that, I moved with the hamburger and Sangayaki mix. I had Mion bring the side vegetables. They had already been prepped. In a corner of the backyard, behind the kitchen, a Stone Kiln had been set up on a paved area, and El-san was adjusting the heat.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
"No, the timing was perfect."
The iron plate laid on top of the Stone Kiln was heated just right, waiting for the food. I drizzled a little olive oil and started with the hamburgers...
Sizzle!
[Remenskii] "That sound is already crazy!" [Bineko] "Ah... the sound of hamburgers..." [Daytron] "" [Washo] "Put a fried egg on it!" etc.
"Oh, a fried egg!"
I liked the idea, so I went with it immediately. I asked Shal to bring some eggs and fried them on the edge of the iron plate. At the other Stone Kiln, Mion and El-san were grilling the side vegetables. The grilled Regucorn was probably the main dish for Sweee, Raz, and the others.
"Okay, one by one."
"Okay!"
First was the White Dragon Princess's portion. A special one with a fried egg on top. I went over to Mion, had her add the sides, and then had her take it over. Since there were so many people, I had to keep grilling, but I also had to explain things properly during the stream.
"The sauce is also based on the Worcestershire sauce sent from the mainland."
I made ketchup using Lycos (tomato) as the main ingredient, along with Kalo (onion), Grapeful Vinegar, Sky Sugar, salt, pepper, and Bilif (laurel). Then, I made a hamburger sauce using that ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and mayonnaise. I used the same proportions we always use at home, and Mion said it was delicious when she tasted it, so it should be fine.
[Minamiruge] "Recipe please!" [Jazzu] "I sense a dangerous sauce..." [Master Chef] "Wonderful!" [Matsudaira] "I want the ketchup too..." etc.
I wondered about selling it. Using a storage box for it felt like a waste, and I really wanted a container that could be sealed tightly. While we were talking about that, everyone's hamburgers and Sangayaki were finished. It took longer than I thought, but I figured taking it easy was fine for today.
"Okay, let's eat."
"Let's eat." "Let's eat!"
