Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children While Being an Adventurer~

“Well then, where do we have you make it~”
“… You decided for me, oy.”
“It’s decided~ I mean, the children said they want to eat as well, you know? You shouldn’t be able to ignore that, Takumi-san!”

… I certainly can’t ignore that, but being told that by Vivian makes me annoyed.

“”Wanna eat springy~… can’t~?””
“… Kuh.”

Allen and Elena’s puppy eyes are too effective on me.

“… I can only try whether I really can make mochi out of this.
Let’s give it a try.”
“”Yaay~!””
“Ohh! You instantly sunk, Takumi-san!”
“Be quiet, Vivian! You don’t want to taste it Vivian, do you?”
“Ah, sorry.
I will keep quiet! And so, I will eat!”

Shutting the bantering Vivian up, we moved to the inn she stayed at just like the last time.

“First of all, this should be fine.”

Glutinous rice should be washed and left soaking in water for a while, but I settled that with Aging.
It should be fine to cook it normally in the rice cooker.
While the rice cooker was working, I prepared ingredients and sauces that go well with mochi.

“Salty or sweet, which do you prefer?”

It’s not like I could use all seasonings, so when I asked which do they prefer——

“”Sweet~””
“Both!”

“”Ah! Both!””

Allen and Elena who chose sweet at first immediately corrected themselves after hearing Vivian’s choice.
N~ Is this going to have a bad influence on the children? Or is something like this not a big problem? What a complicated thing.

“… Let’s make something salty-sweet then.”

I mixed the same amount of sugar and soy sauce in water.

“”It’s cooked~””
“Shall we pound it then?”
“”Pound~?””
“That’s right.
It becomes springy after ponding.”

The rice just finished cooking, so we have to pound it while it’s piping hot.

“”Pound♪ pound♪””

Pounding while matching Allen and Elena’s voice, the stickiness came out in no time.
I expected it to take strength and time until it gets sticky, but it became sticky easier than I thought.

“It’s same as glutinous rice up until now.”
“It looked like White Wheat, but it’s completely different, isn’t it~ and so? Are we going to wait for this to rise?”
“No, just make it into round, bite-sizes and sauce them up.”
“If it’s making it round, then even I can do it.
Now, now! Let’s make it quickly and eat!”

We finished quickly with four of us making balls, but… Vivian’s round mochi were quite large.
But well, Vivian is going to eat those, so oh well.
This Red Wheat was brought by Vivian in the first place.

“”Is done~””
“It’s done~”
“Alright! Let’s give it a try then!”

“””Yaaay~”””

 

… I feel that Vivian got reduced to children’s equal, but I decided to sample the mochi.

“Oh~”

I was relieved by the texture I was expecting.
It’s mochi.
Undoubtedly, mochi.
As I thought, the Red Wheat really was glutinous rice.

“””N~~~”””

The three who tasted mochi for the first time let out their voices in delight.
Seeing them like that, they must quite like it.

“Takumi-san, it’s delicious!”
“I am glad to hear that.
And so, Vivian.
Where did you get this Red Wheat from?”
“it’s a secret.”
“Oy?”

I would like to get my hands on this Red Wheat by all means, but when I asked, Vivian refused to tell me.

“Well~ I really can’t tell you that.
But, but! I have secured plenty of Red Wheat in case something like this happened, so please let me off with that!”
“……”

I got quite curious about the secrecy, but all’s good as long as I can get my hands on it.

“Got it.
Then, I won’t ask further, but will you sell me the rest? How much?”
“No way.
Not selling.”
“Oy!”
“I can accept only bartering! Therefore, please give me lots of food!”

I hung my head at the Vivian-like reply, but I prepared plenty of Yellow Millet food for her and got lots of Red Wheat in exchange.
