One week had passed since the incident in the forest.

 
When I met the royal knights and saved the royal princess of Zuela Kingdom, I didn't tell my family about what happened in the forest because it would be trouble if they found out, but I'm glad that I did not tell them my real identity, so it was not easy to find me, and when I was gone for two days, they were all worried and panicked, and they even hired a few adventurers to find me in the demon forest.

In the backyard of their mansion, where Riyo is laying down on the grass ground,

" *Sigh* I wonder if they arrived at their location in the Zuela Kingdom safely. I worry about them. Also, I get the impression that the royal princess is terrified and she's scared. Also, I wonder where Hannah is. I'm bored today because I can't find anyone to play shogi with." (Riyo)


"I wonder... What I'm going to do ---Wait!"

He suddenly stood up with an excited look on his face. And he hurriedly walked to the kitchen.

Because I'm getting tired of living a life where our food is limited to bread and hot meat soup, I came up with an idea to change our daily food. Also, I intend to increase our food supply.

The most I wanted was rice. It is definitely rice! It's been five years since I tried to find the rice, but I couldn't because my father said it's rare and only available in other cities.

 
When I got to the kitchen, I noticed an old man named Gard, who was also a cook from our mansion.

[Oh! It's the young master!] (Man 1)

[What do you need in the kitchen? Young master in this afternoon?] (Man 2)

[Huh! What are you doing here? It's unusual for you to come here, young master.]  (Gard)


"Oh! Hello!" Riyo nods while saying.

Gard said while he was preparing the food, his appearance was normal and his voice was gentle.

Gard is close friends with my father, Jake. They met in the guild and became group adventurers.

Gard He was different from the adventurers because he couldn't fight; he only knew how to cook in their group, but after a few years, he became a famous cook, and after that, he followed my father and became head of cook at our mansion.

"Mister Gard. Can I borrow the kitchen?" (Riyo)

[Huh? What do you need? It will be dangerous for you to use the kitchen at your age.] (Gard)

Gard's got a worried face and shows a suspicious expression on him.

"Well... There is something that I want to make. Can I?" (Riyo)

[I can't. Because I have no permission from your father, also, can the young boy make something?] (Gard)

"If you give me chance then... I can definitely do it." (Riyo)

Even though I lived alone for a long time in my previous world and I had no family, I can still make something good. That's why I can do it.

Gard looking at me with a serious gaze and then,

[*Sigh* I understand. But I will be your guide for your safety if anything bad happens to you.] (Gard)

For the safety of the people who work in the kitchen, only a few people are allowed in. And then Gard. He's allowed to let Riyo touch the cooking tools.
