Diet food

“Njnac. It’s made from potatoes and is highly nutritious and tasty.”

“Njac…from potatoes. Oh, konjac.”

I had talked about it with Ms. Helena before.

It was very popular for dieting, as it was rice in fiber.

Though, we also had the dandelion tea.

However…

“I can’t think of any dishes that use it. Even if it’s good on its own…it will take some thought.”

“I’m even more clueless, as I didn’t cook at all. Except for barbecuing meat.”

“Well, I guess I will talk to Ms. Helena about it later.”

“And who is that?”

“Ah, the head cook at the mansion. I always confide in her when it comes to cooking.”

“Hmm. Well, then it’s perfect. The mansion is close to Ractos, isn’t it?”

“Yes.”

“In that case, you will surely replace the konjac in Ractos. They grow it here these days. Though, it was not always the case. And Ractos is a town where all kinds of things are gathered.”

“I did hear that there is a lot of trade happening there.”

“Yes, yes. It’s not especially large compared to the cities to the south, but you can replace almost anything that comes into the country. After all, nearly everyone, including nobles, have to travel through it in order to reach the royal capital or the north.”

There were monsters to the north, and monsters and forests to the south. So if you wanted to travel safely, then it made sense to go through Ractos.

That must be why there were so many merchants and travelers on the main street. It was lively, and there were rare things.

“In that case, I suppose Ms. Helena and I could search for it together when we return.”

“Mr. Takumi! Let us search for it right now!”

“Indeed! It should be acquired at once and turned into a delicious dish!”

“Claire, Ms. Anne…”

They had been talking heatedly a moment ago. But it seemed like they had been listening to us, and so they quickly returned and insisted that we start the search at once.

“Anneliese. You do realize that you are going to the main house with me? There is no point in you going off to search for anything.”

“Ahh…”

“…After seeing father and Anne, I have regained my calm. I’m sorry, Mr. Takumi.”

“Haha. It’s nothing. I was amused.”

Claire realized that she had gotten carried away, and apologized.

Neither me or Mr. Euto cared about such things, and just smiled awkwardly.

“Ah, also… Mr. Ekenhart?”

“Wh-what is it, Mr. Takumi? You don’t think that I…these calories? Well, I would rather eat what I want, and not care about such things…”

“Uh, no. It wasn’t about that…”

Mr. Ekenhart had been grabbing and eating the burgers without hesitation. It was clear that he did not care about his weight either. Besides, after hearing about it being energy, he seemed to have decided that he was fine, as long as he remained active.

“Since you finished your business in Range village, I was wondering when you will be going home?”

“Hmm, indeed… Sebastian. I think we will take it easy tomorrow, and leave the day after that. What do you say?”

“Yes. There should be no problem with that. The guards and horses will have plenty of time to rest.”

So, there it is, Mr. Takumi. We will leave the village the day after tomorrow.”

“I understand.”

Mr. Ekenhart had come to this village in order to see the lands that would be used for the herb fields. And to see if everything was fine after the orc attack. But the biggest reason was Ms. Anne.

But she had already apologized to the villagers, and met with Mr. Euto. If only she really would continue to change in the right direction…
