“Mom. I’m home.”

“I’m home too.”

“Welcome home, Hilda, darling.”

When the chief chef and his daughter returned home, they were greeted at the door by the chef’s wife.

“Did you give the Count and the others any trouble?”

“…Probably.”

Hilda said with a wry smile.

Hilda smiled and said, “I’ve brought back some food.

I’ll heat it up for you.”

The chief chef quickly went to the kitchen.

“Did you have a good time?”

“Very much.”

The mother and daughter sat down at the table in a relaxed conversation.

“Hey, darling.

Today Hilda went for a walk during the day and came back with Kitamizato-sama.”

“Hmm? Yeah, I was there before that.”

“Oh? You were?

Well, that’s good. Well, she brought him back.

Then, Hilda suddenly said, ”I’m going to the Count’s house.'”

“That’s because I knew I had to get going quickly.”

Hilda replied to her mother’s complaint with a pout.

“…without any explanation?”

“Yes, I didn’t understand anything at all.

Then, Kitamizato-sama laughed and said, ‘I want to make a dish based on her idea, may I borrow Hilda?’

I said with ought thinking, ‘Please use her as you wish.'”

“Haha, Takeo made a very tedious request I see.”

I thought, ‘Well, I’ll have to agree to it anyway!’ So I did.

Did it go well?”

“Oh, Takeo brought me the food and dessert today as a gift, as an apology for the trouble I caused.”

“Well… he didn’t cause anything at all, but he’s very polite.

Kitamizato-sama must have had a tough day.”

“What? Is that so?”

Hilda asked curiously.

“Um… Darling?”

“Hmm? Well, it’s over now, isn’t it?”

“Yes. Hilda, Kitamizato-sama had his first battle today.”

“What? I didn’t know that.”

“Well, the children are not supposed to be informed.

In the morning, the emergency bell rang. I told you, didn’t I? You can’t go near the castle gate today.

I heard the details after Hilda left, but the city was attacked by 400 goblins and ogres.”

“What? Isn’t that a lot?”

Hilda was surprised.

“Kitamizato-sama was in command during the first battle and achieved the feat of not losing a single casualty.

And he never bragged about it and said,

‘This is the result of all the soldiers’ hard work, so rather than praising me, please praise the soldiers.

I’m just happy to see such a scene like this.’

As expected, the one who won Miss Alice. Humble and polite.

What was he like?”

“Well… I guess.. kind?”

Hilda said, troubled.

“Yeah?”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

“He didn’t get angry at all, not even with the other people.”

“Well, the head chef was very angry when I was there, wasn’t he?”

The head chef and his wife were married at work.

“I’ve never seen Takeo get angry, he’s more of a compliment to everyone.”

The chief chef replied as he watched the lasagna cooking.

“Well, what a good boss.

I’ve heard about Kitamizato-sama from you as well, but he makes some pretty bizarre dishes, doesn’t he?”

“Yes, he does.

He shows us ways that we have never cooked before easily.

And so far… he hasn’t failed any expectations.”

“That’s amazing.”

“Yea.

Takeo always says, ‘I’m just serving home cooking.’ Our cooks are crying and learning every day.”

“I’m glad I’m not here. My pride would be torn to shreds.”

“Absolutely.”

“Hey, Mom. I was wondering…”

“What?”

“Today, under Takeo-sama’s direction, the person in charge of sweets was making the sauce for the main course.

I don’t know anything about the cooking method, but with just a few simple instructions… is that possible? Even though you’re in charge of sweets?”

“Hmm. So you must be wondering why it looked so easy to cook something you’re not in charge of.”

“Yes.”

“Okay.

For example, even if you are in charge of the main course, you can make soup, salad, and even sweets. 

Right now, It just happens that you’re in charge of the main course… tomorrow you may be in charge of something else.

All the cooks in the Elvis family can cook a variety of foods.

Each cook will suggest a recipe to the chief chef based on what the chief tells them to use as an ingredient today.

Before cooking, all the cooks get together and discuss.

At that time, they all say what they want to cook.

In the end, the chief chef decides on the menu based on the balance of the dishes.’

“Wow.”

Hilda listened with great interest.

“And once the cooking starts, each person in charge takes the lead…

You see, the kitchen is very small, isn’t it? That’s why we can’t cook at the same time.

When making the main course, the person in charge of the main course stands at the head of the kitchen and uses the salad and sweets staff to make the main course.

On the other hand, when making a salad, the person in charge of the salad is the head of the kitchen and uses the person in charge of the main course and sweets.

That’s why everyone can make different things.”

“I see. I thought you only did what you were in charge of.”

“Well… I’ve heard that’s the way it is in some places.

We don’t do that in the Elvis family.

Isn’t everyone supposed to do Kitamizato-sama’s tasting?”

“Oh, I believe they did.”

“And the evaluation is done immediately… I wonder if anyone has any complaints about Kitamizato’s cooking?”

“They were surprised, weren’t they? They nodded, they cheered, they cried…”

“It’s amazing that everyone is satisfied. I thought it was normal for someone to complain.”

“Well, that’s what makes Takeo’s cooking so perfect.”

The chef comes to the table with the lasagna, “Oh my… it looks delicious. The cheese smells so good.”

“Oh, well, let’s eat… eat first.

Hilda and I will eat it after we get your feedback.”

“Really? Okay.”

She took a bite of the lasagna.

The chef and Hilda were watching with grins on their faces.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
