Alright! Kaito Cooking is starting now!
“Okay, I’m going to have you make this now, so follow what I say.”
““““Yes!””””
That’s right, today there were cooks besides Gordon here too. Ever since the miso soup incident, it felt like everyone’s expectations of me had gone up.
“Prepare the beef!”
“““““““Beeeeeef~ ready!”””””””
“Sprinkle salt on the beef, use a little extra.”
““““Sprinkle salt on the beef, use a little extra.””””
“Next! Prepare the Garigarikuu!”
“““““Next… Garigarikuu ready!”””””
“Alright, cut off the root end first. That’ll make it easier to peel. Then peel it, and mince it.”
““““““Cut off the root end, peel it, and mince it!””””””
The Garigarikuu was being minced with knives, and man, it smelled amazing. Yes!
“After that, just like with the salt, rub it into the beef.”
“““““Then rub it into the beef like the salt… wait, who’s doing it?”””””
“You do it.”
“No, you do it!”
Hey, hey, everyone, don’t look so reluctant.
Alright then, that guy over there can do it!
“Okay, you! You do it please.”
How’s this? Take my ultimate smile!
“Y-Yes… I’ll do my best.”
Hey now, don’t look so devastated. I’ll let you eat it later!
Alright, next step.
“Prepare the Ikarun!”
““““Ikarun ready!””””
“Cut open the Ikarun and take out the ink sac without breaking it.”
“““““Cut open the Ikarun and remove the ink sac without breaking it!”””””
What’s going on here? Everyone’s repeating exactly what I say. Why?
Ohhh, wait~ maybe it’s because I said follow what I say?
Come on… “follow what I say” doesn’t mean “repeat my words!”
“Hey now, don’t repeat what I’m saying. I mean make it the way I tell you.”
Man, this is funny. Somehow this is really fun.
““““““Yes.””””””
“Cut the Ikarun into bite-sized pieces and put it into the pot to simmer.”
I wish we had dashi… but we don’t.
Ah! Right~ pork should work as a substitute.
“Gordon, could you prepare some thinly sliced pork?”
“Yes, here you go.”
That was fast! Why did it appear so quickly?
“We keep it ready so we can make tonjiru anytime.”
“I see. I’m surprised you had it ready so fast.”
“Hehe… guess I got praised.”
Hey~ why are you getting shy about it now, Gordon?
“Alright, chop the pork into small pieces and add it to the pot with the Ikarun we cut earlier. Then let it simmer.”
“““““Yes!”””””
Yep, nice responses.
“Oh~ and don’t throw away the ink sacs.”
“Huh? It’s just ink though?”
“This part’s important. We’re going to use it for the new miso soup we’re making.”
Huh? Why is everyone making that “What?!” face?
Yeah, I get it, you’d react like that.
“But it’s fine. Trust me.”
““““““Yes.””””””
Mm-hmm. So obedient.
I like obedient people.
“Let the Ikarun simmer on low heat until it gets nice and tender. Then tell me when it’s soft.”
“““““Yes!”””””
Yep, great response!
