Chapter 36

First, I open the
refrigerator.
I've already decided
what to cook today, so there's no hesitation in my hand as I reach for the
ingredients.
Opening the
double-door refrigerator, I find the chiller compartment at the bottom right.
The Kobe beef waiting
to be cooked is my lunch today.
I take it out along
with the beef tallow placed next to it, and then select some refrigerated
seasonings and place them on the tray.
After taking out salt
and pepper from the shelf next to the stove, I open the storage shelf under the
sink.
I take out the hot
plate from inside, bring it to the living room together with the tableware, and
the preparation is complete.
After turning on the
power, I move the temperature scale to the far right.
It warms up quickly,
so I put the beef tallow on it.
After spreading the
fat all over the hot plate with cooking chopsticks, I wait patiently.
It's boring to wait
for the hot plate to heat up, so I bring some snacks.
I take a small
Tatsumiya yokan and potato chips, and then bring a drink.
My meal today is
accompanied by green tea in a 2-liter plastic bottle.
Recently, it's a
hassle to wash the glass every time, so I just drink from the plastic bottle.
There's no one else to
drink it, and I'll use refresh after drinking anyway.
When I return to the
living room, the iron plate has already warmed up nicely.
I peel off the
wrapping of the Kobe beef sirloin steak.
The letters A5 made my
me excited.
I put it on the hot
plate as it is, and first sprinkle a little salt and pepper on it.
After grilling it
slowly, I turn it over and sprinkle salt and pepper on the other side as well.
The fragrant smell
tickles my nostrils, and my stomach makes a pathetic growling sound.
Not yet, not yet...
Now!
I cut the steak on the
plate with a knife and carry it to my mouth.
The Kobe beef in my
mouth is incredibly tender.
It's so tender that I
feel like I can cut it with just my tongue and gums without using my teeth.
When I have no teeth
left in my old age, I want to live by eating only Wagyu beef.
While thinking such
foolish things, the meat in my mouth melted and disappeared in an instant.
"Delicious... I
can't think of any other words to describe it."
Two bites, three
bites, four bites.
I cut and carry it to
my mouth over and over again.
Because it is a very
simple seasoning of salt and pepper, the taste of the ingredients comes out as
it is.
The tenderness of the
meat, the sweetness of the fat, the exquisite balance of the marbling and lean
meat.
It's a perfect piece
of meat.
I've heard that people
with truly sophisticated palates prefer lean meat rather than sirloin, but I
believe that fat enriches one's life.
I'm still young, so I
think the more fat, the better.
I've never had an
upset stomach before, and I want to savor the taste of fat while I'm still
young.
"Let's change the
taste a little."
I put some yakiniku
sauce on a small plate and dipped the meat in it.
The sweet sauce made
with fruit didn't clash with the Wagyu beef, and it blended well with the
sweetness of the fat.
Next, I put on the
garlic sauce.
I have a bad habit of using garlic tubes to add
more garlic to the plate.
The intense garlic
scent made me smile involuntarily.
"Oh, what an
intense stimulation... garlic is a versatile condiment, after all."
A condiment like
garlic is usually used to remove odors.
But as a devout
believer of the garlic religion, I can't help but put garlic on any fine food,
no matter how high-class it may be! (Addiction)
The appetite-enhancing
effect of garlic made me devour the steak in no time.
You're thinking that
one 150-gram steak won't be enough to fill you up?
...It's okay, no
problem.
"Throw in the
second piece."
After lightly wiping
the remaining fat on the hot plate with kitchen paper, I start grilling the
second steak I had prepared.
To reset my mouth,
which had become completely garlicky, I drank some green tea.
I ate some yokan (bean
jelly) as a palate freshener, the intense sweetness makes my mouth completely
filled with yokan.
...Yokan is amazing.
"I'm in my growing
period, so should I go for the third one?"
I start counting on my
fingers while enjoying the second Kobe beef.
But that's
understandable, because it's delicious.
By the way, the MP
required for refresh is determined by the size.
Therefore, it consumes
less MP to reproduce Kobe beef than to replace 2 liters of green tea with a new
one.
I finished eating the
second slice of meat... and put my chopsticks down.
Yeah, two slices are
enough to fill me up.
I'm going to refrain
from eating sweets after this.
I don't have enough MP
to refresh everything I used.
I disinfected the hot
plate with alcohol, washed the dishes, took a breather, and then decided to eat
potato chips and yokan.
By the way, there is
also a sinful snack on the table, potatoes with chocolate dipped in them
because it happened to catch my eye when I finished washing the dishes.
I loosen my cheeks
while crunching on potato chips.
Not even the Grim
Reaper can disturb this blissful time.
"Being able to
eat as much as I want whenever I want... what a happy thing."
Since I came to
Alistella, I have come to appreciate food more than ever.
And at the same time,
I also feel grateful to my father and mother for providing me with such an
environment...
When I was a shut-in,
I thought it was natural for a child to rely on his parents, but if I could
return to Earth, I would like to apologize properly.
"..."
My hand reaching for
the potato chips stopped.
Remembering my
parents, I felt a little sad.
But I immediately
shook my head and chased it away.
It's okay to think
about that much, much later.
"Right now, the
most important thing is to conquer the [Knight's Holy Remains]."
After finishing my
snack, I took a leisurely bath and went to sleep.
And after sleeping
soundly and regaining my energy, I dived into the sixth floor again--.
