Chapter 43

I decided to cook the preserved pork belly from a Momoi no Shishi. I swing the [Constructed] wok over a stone oven. As the meat starts to sear, I add Sazan fruits. They melt, giving the meat a glossy, sweet glaze. Finally, I sprinkle rock salt, and it’s done. A simple dish. The intoxicating aroma of meat juices and Sazan fruit fills the cave.

“!”

Muu, who had been sleeping until now, notices the smell and starts hopping around. I serve the meat in a wooden bowl for it.

“Don’t burn yourself.”

Whether it understands me or not, Muu bites into the meat with full force.

“Myu!”

It jumps even higher than before.

“Hey, was it too hot?”

I wonder if burns can be healed with medicinal herbs. As I worry,

“Myu! Myu!”

Muu happily devours the meat, absorbing it into its body.

“Don’t scare me like that… Is it good?”

It bounces up and down, then dives back into the wooden bowl.

“If it’s that good… I’m kinda happy.”

I take a bite myself.

“Yeah, I did a pretty good job.”

The sweetness of the Sazan fruit locks in the umami of the Momoi no Shishi meat, creating a delicious teriyaki-like flavor. The rock salt has a slightly unique aroma, but it tightens the taste nicely.
