Chapter 23 [The Bath is Cleansing the Mind] Part 2
Apparently, it seems like my predecessor was at fault.
The embezzlement of ingredients and negligence of management of the logistical support.
The client is the earl house, but the actual overseer is Gash-san at the scene.
Even if he saw through his predecessor’s impropriety, it seems Gash-san couldn’t say anything in front of those muscles forged through daily training.
In addition, adventurers who had accepted the reclamation request did things their own way.
More or less, he was a person involved in the request, so violence didn’t befall onto them, but they were freely doing whatever they wanted.
“So, in the end, the adventurers that were going to become settlers couldn’t tolerate my predecessor and drove them out, making them fail their logistic support request. However, as revenge, half of this week’s foodstuff were covered in dirt and can’t be used.”
The leafy vegetables, bread and meat had become unusable.
What was left was bottled alcohol, salt and seasoning that was separately stored from the salt.
Also, the sweet luxury goods were embezzled.
“Haa, that’s a troubling problem. But, what happened can’t be helped I guess.”
Let’s endure with the foodstuff we have now until the next materials are brought in.
I, for the time being, looked at the remaining foodstuff.
“We’ll manage somehow by hunting meat. The vegetables and root crops are fine, so let’s endure it. Also, we can compensate for the leafy vegetables with the wild vegetables and edible wild plants in the nearby forest. Bread—-looks like it can’t be helped. I’ll take out our share! Tet, help out!”
“Yes~nanodesu!”
I took the bread out of my magic bag.
Nevertheless, those were for Tet and my two’s travel camouflage-use, so it’s probably necessary to replenish them with [Creation Magic].
I began to make today’s menu–vegetable soup and stir-fried vegetables with meat.
I created a cooking stove in the village, adjusted the heat with magic, and cut the vegetables with my regulated wind cutter for cooking use. Soup was Tet’s job. I’m in charge of the stir-fried vegetables with meat.
The soup was simmered with vegetables and the preserved bacon that we bought and the scum became white bubbles and floated there.
I gave directions to Tet to scoop it all out and she faithfully performed those actions without fail.
As expected of the former golem Tet. The execution of the orders was flawless.
Then, I moved the finished soup to the large pot, created the stir-fried vegetables with meat in a frying pan similar to a gigantic wok three times, and moved it with a gigantic metal bat.
“I finished making the meal, so everyone come with your own tableware. Two pieces of bread per person. Me and Tet will serve the portion we decided of the stir-fried vegetables with meat and soup, so don’t complain.”
Then, the adventurers lined up in succession.
They didn’t feel dirty anymore. but after taking a bath and freshening up, it’s simple to take hold of their stomachs.
“It’s delicious, it’s been a while since I’ve had something homemade…” “Ahh, the cooking those fellas made were unappetizing, so this feels amazingly delicious.” “Oi, the meat in your portion has a bit more!” “Hehe. Lucks on my side. Those girls said so too. Don’t complain.”
Like that, the useless members of society in the beginning have begun to slightly brighten up.
“All right then, everyone listen up—-”
Then, around when everyone finished eating, I softly clapped my hands and gathered everyone’s attention.
“Tet and I did various things today, but to continue to support the reclamation, you understand that there’s not enough manpower right?”
“Ahh, there really are a lot of things to do.”
Cleaning, laundry, cooking, and various other things.
“That’s why, until there’s more people, we’ll be making large amounts of meals all at once during morning and evening. Sorry for having two meals a day, but if we don’t decrease the amount of work, we won’t be able to do other things after all. Gash-san, that’s fine with you right?”
“Ah, yes! There’s no helping it.”
I continued talking while thinking that he’s sort of unreliable.
“Well then, next is our daily schedule. We’ll make breakfast in the morning and clean up after the meal and laundry. Therefore, you need to take out all the things to wash the day before. Then, from afternoon on is undecided, but we’ll be doing various things. Then, in the evening, we’ll heat up the riverside bath, so everyone can take a bath. After that is dinner then bed.”
Having declared so, some people still weren’t convinced, but they seemed like they weren’t going to say anything in particular.
“Well then, we’re going to eat dinner then clean up, so you can rest after you tidy up.”
Having said that, Tet and I took the separate set aside meal and ate in the house we were going to stay at. After tidying it up by washing it with water with magic, we put up a tent inside the small house that Tet created.
There was no roof and no bed. It’s a public building that’ll be demolished before very long. While a wry smile floated on my face, Tet lied down in the Tet.
“It sort of feels like it’s been a while since I’ve talked so much.”
“Majo-sama, you looked cool~nanodesu.”
“I’m really tired. I don’t like giving out instructions to people. I also want to take a bath, but I’m sleeping since I’m tired. Good night.”
Having said that, I fell asleep inside the tent.
Tomorrow, I want to proceed with the program a bit more.
