I have Became Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat but I Can not Seem to Get out of Being Jobless

Chapter 386

(386) Whitebait don

Translator: Tseirp

Sheena No . 3’s passionate singing ended .

Incidentally, her singing was a complete copy of the real opening song and surpassed the realm of imitation . If that was the real opening song, rather than think it was the real singer singing it, it was at the level where you would mistake it for a CD playing the song .

“Next, I want to sing Nyaa Piece’s ending theme desu!”

“Another song? – Wait, I don’t know that song . Sheena, you always skip the ending and the preview for the next episode . ”

“The preview is a spoiler after all desu . In that case, I will show it now, senpai!”

It seemed like Sheena No . 3 referred to Flute as senpai .

Flute sighed but started watching the ending for Nyaa Piece that Sheena No . 3 projected onto the front row of the church long benches .

“Hey, Sheena . The words displayed in the ending, the voice translation, and word translation are all in your language?”

“This DVD used Master’s hometown word and language desu . If that was the case, senpai wouldn’t be able to understand when she sees it so Sheena No . 3 rewritten the contents desu . ”

“I don’t know how you did it but that’s amazing . ”

“Senpai is amazing desu . ”

“Please play it again, it is impossible to make up the score by just watching once . ”

“If you’re referring to the musical score, Sheena No . 3 has already prepared it so please use this . ”

“If you have it then say it earlier . ”

These two seemed to be getting along well .

Actually, I don’t know how you did it but don’t rewrite the contents of my DVD .

Also, it was a DVD-R so it should be impossible to rewrite .

“Master, Flute seems to be enjoying herself . ”

Just like Sheena No . 3, Neete appeared out of nowhere and spoke to me .

“Rather than enjoying herself, I feel like she has let loose a little too much . Normally a church shouldn’t be a place for this . ”

Since just now, the church had been broadcasting many types of ending scenes .

“The Goddess-samas will not be angered if they see it . Her wavelength matches with Sheena No . 3 and they seem to have been watching DVDs together this morning . ”

“Doesn’t your wavelength match too? The way you speak is the same so I thought you guys would be great friends . ”

“It’s impossible for me . ”

Neete shook her head .

“I can tell deep down in my heart . It is not that our wavelengths match but I can match it and I feel that it would be different from an ordinary friendship . ”

“I don’t really understand but isn’t your personality now because of your soul?”

“No, my personality depends on master’s wish . In the beginning, when master heard about homunculus, you thought that we are dolls that listen to orders, right?”

Ah, Torerul-sama taught me that .

I remember her describing them as something like robots or dolls that can move .

“That is why Pionia-neesan’s personality follows master’s wish, to not show much of her emotions and be a hikikomori . And then, master wished for a homunculus that was easier to understand compared to one such as Pionia-neesan so I, a two-faced homunculus, was born . ”

“My wish … I don’t recall wishing for such a horny homunculus though . ”

“Are you sure? Perhaps you wished for it somewhere in your heart?”

I lost my confidence after she asked it that way .

I decided to change the topic .

“But you say your soul is fake? In that case, Sheena No . 3 is also half-machine . ”

“In Sheena No . 3’s case, her body is a machine but her soul is real . It lives in her body naturally . In contrast, my soul and Pionia-neesan’s soul are nothing more than transient souls created by Tet-sama . We will probably betray master if Tet-sama orders it . I at least know that much . ”

“You were thinking about such matters? It doesn’t match your personality . ”

“Haha, master . Are you shocked to find out that my love for you is temporary?”

“There is no love story between us!”

I don’t remember wishing for such a conversation with a homunculus .

This was probably all part of Neete’s joke .

“Master, the food is ready . ”

Dinner was ready at the right time .

We headed to the open space in front of the log cabin .

In My World, basically everyone’s meal was taken outdoors .

The only building that could accommodate everyone here was the shipbuilding dock . Currently, that shipbuilding dock was overflowing with Pionia’s self-created musical instrument parts so it wasn’t an environment where we could eat in peace .

“That’s an amazing dish for today . ”

For some reason, today’s main dish was fried whitebait don . That was the first time I ate it in this world . There were other vegetable and fish tempura lined up .

“A month ago the fish we stocked from Daijima spawned eggs . In My World, these small fishes have no natural predators we must thin them out to some extent . ”

The jewel turtles were farmed in the bay so there was no natural enemy for the small fish in the sea . They consumed the phytoplankton and kept growing in population .

“I prepared this for master . ”

“Oh, raw whitebait don!? Pionia, you know what I want . ”

I felt like I came to Enoshima .

“Ichinojo-sama, are you really going to eat that without cooking it?”

Rarael asked with concern .

“Yes, raw whitebait don can’t be eaten unless it is fresh . This is a luxury food to us Japanese . ”

“Pionia-san, Carol would like the same as Ichino-sama . ”

“I also request for the same raw whitebait don? as master . ”

Carol and Haru requested for the same dish .

“Master, please apply Clean on these . ”

“These are egg yolks?”

“Affirmative . It is to prevent food poisoning and although I could not confirm the reproduction of bacteria, I have decided that it is necessary . ”

“All right . ”

After I applied Clean on the egg yolk, Pionia dropped that egg yolk onto my don .

The black chicken only laid egg once a week so we didn’t have enough to prepare for everyone . I felt a little bad but I accepted their goodwill .

And just like that, I, Haru, Carol, the homunculus, and the Dark Elves started our whitebait don food party .

By the way, before we started, Nanawat already began heartily eating a bucket of whitebait . What a blessed desert runner .

Fuyun was a horse so he didn’t join the party and was eating grass .

“It’s delicious! The ginger removed the fishy odor … and was this made using wasabi soy sauce?”

“Affirmative . I used the leaf wasabi harvested from the dogwood plant . ”

“I made the soy sauce . ”

“So it wasn’t Japan soy sauce?”

Surprisingly, the Japanese meal this round was made entirely of My World ingredients or products . It looked like I have been creating all kinds of things to this date .

“The raw whitebait melts on the tip of the tongue … it has a unique texture . ”

“I can’t really feel any sensation when biting down . ”

It seemed that it didn’t fit Carol and Haru’s taste .

“There is an occasional crunchy texture? I like that texture . ”

“That is probably the whitebait eye . ”

Haru’s expression didn’t change but her tail showed her complex emotions .

She liked the texture of the whitebait eye but she hated the fact that she was eating eyes .

The two of them only talked about the texture and not the taste .

In contrast to Haru and Carol, the others eating the freshly fried whitebait don seemed to be satisfied .

After I finished half of my rice and two-third of my whitebait, I broke the egg yolk and ate it with my rice .

What a luxurious egg over rice meal .

“Ichinojo-sama is eating raw egg . ”

Rarael muttered in shock .

Eating raw egg seemed to be even more unusual than eating raw fish .

But I couldn’t lightly invite Rarael to ‘Do you want to try too?’ .

Even if I lightly suggested it, Rarael might perceive it as an order . I personally knew the pain of having to eat strange food .

There is a bug called Phalera flavescens . They were also called Sakura Caterpillars and just like their name implies, they mainly live on sakura trees but there was another reason for their name .

When eaten, they release the scent of sakura .

Furthermore, their texture was like eating a crisp sausage and it was extremely juicy . It was the best if you only take into account the taste .

However, even if it tastes amazing, it was a food that humans would avoid .

“Onii, give it a try . Even though it is really easy to catch Phalera flavescens during this season, this has been recognized by insect food experts as one of the five most delicious insects . ”

It was recommended to me as such but what about it?

I wouldn’t want to eat it, whether it was the best five or the best one .

I endured and ate crickets and ants many times but caterpillars were out of bounds .

I somehow was able to survive without eating Phalera flavescens .

The point is, Phalera flavescens to me was like how raw egg and fish was to Rarael .

It wasn’t about if it was delicious or safe .

“What’s wrong, Ichinojo-sama?”

“It’s nothing, I recalled my younger sister trying to get me to eat caterpillar in the past . ”

“Ah, it’s delicious after all . ”

“Right, extremely delicious … eh?”

Eh? There seemed to be something wrong with what Rarael just said .

“Yeah, they are delicious . ”

“They are hateful pests that attach to the Golden Tree but I am happy when I find them . ”

“It’s a pity that I can’t eat them since coming to My World . ”

The Dark-Elves happily talked about the taste of caterpillars .

“Rarael, you eat caterpillars?”

“Yes . It is an important protein source for us Dark-Elves . ”

I wanted to retort why was it okay for them to eat caterpillars but they find it hard to accept eating egg and fish raw .

“I received them from Demon Lord-sama before . ”

“Carol ate them when Carol was a kid . Carol has no resistance toward eating them but it might be hard to swallow now that Carol doesn’t eat it regularly . ”

Haru and Carol ate them before as well!?

Miri that girl, she ate bugs in her previous life as well – or rather, it was because she ate them in her previous life that she loved them even now .

Perhaps I was the only one who hated caterpillars?

“I hate caterpillars . I rather eat raw egg and fish . ”

Yes!

I have a fellow who hates eating caterpillars .

“I see, then what does Flute like?”

“I like stir-fried goat blood . ”

She wasn’t my fellow .

Well, stir-fried goat blood – I know about it . It was a minor Okinawan dish but it is sold in some stores .

Nevertheless, it still feels strange to eat blood .

I don’t even like eating the occasional blood found in tuna sashimi .

Removing blood is an important step to ensure a delicious ingredient .

“I guess Haru’s favorite is dried meat?”

“It is not limited to dried meat, it is any chewy meat . ”

“What does Carol like?”

“The food Carol likes most … it is a little hard to say it . Although I can’t forget the taste of the egg and crispy bacon sandwich Ichino-sama gave me . ”

The one I bought from Belasra?

Yup, that was delicious .

“Ichino-sama’s favorite, is probably eel?”

“Yeah, it is eel . It would be hard … to farm them in My World . Well, if I can get my hands on many of them, I’ll try releasing them . ”

I heard that some university in the Kansai region was studying eel aquaculture .

It has been a couple of months since I came to this world so I don’t know how far the research has progressed but I wonder if it is possible to eat eel cheaply in the near future .

Everyone’s appetite was greater than usual because we kept talking about food .

When I was satisfied with the dinner, I stood up and headed to the log house to see if I could make something for everyone .
