Looking at Kujou Sara's strange expression, Raiden Ei thought for a moment and then said:
"Sara, you're here at this time to deliver dinner on behalf of the Shuumatsuban, aren't you?"
Originally, Raiden Ei and Raiden Shogun didn't eat much.
But ever since tasting Yuuko's cooking, she had become interested in food.
Recently, she had also been arranging for the Shuumatsuban to send her meals.
Listening to Raiden Ei's words, Kujou Sara said with a hint of panic: "Yes! Her Excellency, the General! Please forgive this subordinate's presumption!"
"It's fine." Raiden Ei shook her head. "This was my request to begin with. Sara, you are merely carrying it out on behalf of the Shuumatsuban, so there is no fault."
After speaking, Raiden Ei looked at the box in Kujou Sara's hand and said:
"Is this tonight's dinner?"
Kujou Sara's body trembled slightly before she said: "Yes! Her Excellency, the General!"
And she hurriedly handed the box to Raiden Ei: "Please enjoy! Her Excellency, the General!"
Kujou Sara, who was usually calm, was speaking with a slight lisp at this moment.
It was clear how nervous she was right now.
Raiden Ei nodded, then took the box and opened it.
She found it contained roll after roll of golden egg rolls... As soon as the box was opened, a rich and sweet aroma wafted out.
They looked like egg rolls, but were vastly different from ordinary ones. Raiden Ei couldn't quite explain why she felt this way.
She inexplicably thought of Yuuko's figure.
Raiden Ei said in surprise:
"What a rare food. I thought no other chef in Inazuma, besides him, would make such unusual dishes. Which chef made this?"
Upon hearing this, Kujou Sara became even more flustered.
After all, this was food she had made herself and brought before her idol; it was impossible not to be flustered.
"Her, Her Excellency, the General! This is a dish this subordinate learned from someone." Kujou Sara said nervously.
Hearing this, Raiden Ei's face showed an interested smile:
"Oh? I recall Sara, you usually don't enjoy cooking much, and often bring food like Onigiri, even saying that simple-to-eat food was enough and troublesome food wasn't needed. Now you're actively cooking?"
"This subordinate has only recently developed an interest in it." Kujou Sara lowered her head slightly.
Raiden Ei thought for a moment and said: "Never mind, let's see how it tastes first."
With that, Raiden Ei began to taste it.
She first skewered one piece with a bamboo stick, took a small bite, and then slowly chewed.
After the enormous amount of sugar in the egg roll dissolved in her mouth, Raiden Ei's eyes lit up.
"This tastes like a dessert, sweet and very relaxing for the mind and body."
"Yes, Her Excellency, the General, because that person said the General likes sweet things." Kujou Sara replied.
Raiden Ei showed a surprised expression and asked:
"That person? Oh right, Sara, you just said someone taught you to cook, too. Who taught you?"
Kujou Sara hesitated for a long time before saying: "A writer named Yuuko taught me."
"It was him, after all." Raiden Ei sighed softly.
"It seems Her Excellency, the General, isn't surprised at all..."
"After all, to be able to teach such strange, yet surprisingly good-tasting dishes, besides him, I can't think of anyone else." Raiden Ei said with a smile.
After speaking, Raiden Ei pondered for a while, then chuckled again:
"Seeing Sara, you make such delicious food, I've suddenly become interested in cooking myself."
"If Her Excellency, the General, is interested, this subordinate will do her utmost to help Her Excellency master it!" Kujou Sara said righteously.
Raiden Ei fell into contemplation again, hesitating:
"But... Yuuko said before that I don't have the Talents for cooking, and told me not to bother with it..."
Hearing this, Kujou Sara patted her chest and sincerely said:
"How could that be! If Her Excellency, the General, wants to do something, there's nothing she can't accomplish!"
Raiden Ei looked at Kujou Sara's sincere eyes, a smile appearing on her face:
"Thank you, Sara."
Kujou Sara was slightly flattered, and she hurriedly lowered her head.
Raiden Ei began to skewer a second egg roll, slowly savoring it, and said:
"Since that's the case, I also want to delve a little into the culinary arts, Sara. Can you help me and also help taste my cooking?"
Kujou Sara quickly looked up, her eyes filled with excitement: "Serving Her Excellency, the General, is my duty!"
Now, Kujou Sara was very happy.
After all, she would soon be able to personally instruct her idol and also taste the occasional dishes she made.
For her, the number one devoted fan, this was incredibly exciting!
Similarly, Kujou Sara was also very puzzled.
Why would Yuuko say that the General wasn't suited for cooking and tell her not to cook?
For someone as intelligent as the General, cooking should be easy to master, shouldn't it?
Could it be that Yuuko made a misjudgment?
Now, Kujou Sara thought so... Later, after Raiden Ei finished dinner, Kujou Sara officially began to instruct Raiden Ei in cooking.
"Alright, let's start with the simplest dish for Her Excellency, the General. Let's make the sweet egg roll Her Excellency just ate."
"That sweet egg roll? That's a good idea." Raiden Ei smiled.
Kujou Sara nodded, then slowly continued to instruct:
"Hmm, first, Her Excellency, the General, gently cracks the bird egg... Wait! Her Excellency, don't use so much force, the bird egg has been crushed into bits!"
"Ah, my apologies, I didn't pay attention to controlling my strength." Raiden Ei said apologetically, looking at the crushed bird egg in her hand and the sticky egg liquid covering her hands.
"It's alright, take your time, Her Excellency, the General." Kujou Sara was also quite patient, continuing to instruct.
After a long while, Raiden Ei finally managed to master the first step of cracking an egg.
"Hmm, following this step, Her Excellency, the General, will master it quickly." Kujou Sara's face showed excitement as she continued:
"Next, please add the secret seasoning and sugar to the egg liquid... Eh? Wait! Too much seasoning! The seasoning has covered the egg liquid!"
"My apologies, I thought to make a rich-flavored dish, I had to add more seasoning."
"It's alright, let's start over, Her Excellency, the General." Kujou Sara let out a light breath, her patience still abundant.
After much effort, she instructed Raiden Ei to crack another egg and pour the egg liquid into a bowl.
After adding the appropriate proportion of seasoning, Kujou Sara continued to instruct:
"Now, please use chopsticks to stir the egg liquid in the bowl evenly... Eh? Wait! Just stir it, no need to use so much force!"
Unfortunately, Kujou Sara's warning came too late.
As Raiden Ei stirred the chopsticks with her demonic speed, the bowl couldn't withstand the immense force and shattered directly.
The viscous egg liquid, along with the breaking of the bowl,
splashed all over Raiden Ei and Kujou Sara!
Sticky.
