Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear-Chapter 375

Chapter 375

After a long vacation, we will head back tomorrow . This is our last day to have lunch here . So I will make today’s lunch .

[Fina, peel the onions and cut them like this . ] Yuna

I took one onion and showed Fina how it’s done .

[Yes, I got it . ] Fina

Fina peeled the onions and cut them as I told . Fina, was sharp since she always helping out at home .

[Anzu, peel the potatoes and cut them to this size . ] Yuna

I showed how to cut the potatoes the same way as I did with onions and indicated the size . Anzu cut the potatoes in the same fashion .

I took the carrots, peeled them, and cut them into bite-sized pieces .

[U~u, tears are coming out of my eyes . ] Fina

Fina is cutting the onions with tears in her eyes .

Should I have done the onions instead?

What we are doing right now is making curry .

When speaking about the sea, it should be curry rice . I got some curry spices, so I decided to make curry for lunch on the last day .

However, there are about 30 children and about 20 adults, which is quite a lot . It’s hard to make all of it by myself, so I have Fina and Anzu help me as assistants .

It’s hard to always make this much meal every day . But every day, Anzu, Morin-san, and the others prepared meals for the customers . I really have to thank them for it .

That’s why I decided to make lunch on the last day .

[Yuna-san, the potatoes are done . ] Anzu

[U~u, this one as well . ] Fina

Both of them brought the cut ingredients . I also finished the preparation of carrots . Fina is rubbing her eyes . Onions made her tears .

Finally, I cut the pork and finished the preparation . It’s just an ordinary curry, so I can’t add any other ingredients . It takes time and effort after all .

After preparing enough portions for the number of people, I added oil to the pan, then I added the meat and fried it . Afterward, when the meat was cooked, I added the vegetables and poured some water .

Since the amount I’m making is large, I prepared three pots . I also did that to change the level of spiciness .

[So Yuna-san, what are you making? Boiled vegetables?] Anzu

Anzu asked me since she has no idea of what I’m making .

[Curry, it’s a spicy dish . Last time, during my work, I got some spices I needed to make curry . I think this is the perfect food when going to the ocean . ] Yuna

[Is curry found in the sea? I’ve lived in Merera for a long time, but I’ve never heard of it . ] Anzu

[You cannot find it in the sea, but back in the place where I lived in . Somehow, it was common to eat seafood curry . ] Yuna

However, I have never been to the sea, so I don’t know if curry was actually sold at the beach house . To the utmost, curry and ramen are the standard seafood in manga and anime .

I wonder if anyone really orders curry or ramen in the hot sea . However, I can’t say anything about those people because I’m making curry by the influence of that world .

[I don’t know what a curry is, but I’m looking forward to it because the food Yuna-san makes is always delicious . ] Anzu

[Look forward to it because it’s definitely delicious . Oh right, can you prepare the rice?] Yuna

[Okay . I’ll cook it properly . ] Anzu

That’s Anzu for you . I’ll leave the rice to Anzu, so I’ll skim the scum while carefully watching the three pots .

[Yuna-oneesan . I’ll help too . ] Fina

[Alright then, I’ll leave that pot to you . ] Yuna

Stew the vegetables while removing the scum . Then, as it started to smell good, I turned off the heat and took out the curry powder from the bear box .

[Etto, since it’s this amount of portion, maybe, about this much?] Yuna

The amount of curry spice had been calculated .

This curry is for children, so it should be less spicy and they can add milk to it if it’s still too spicy . I will not put much curry on this one . Next is a slightly spicy curry, and the third one is a dry curry . In other words, it tastes mild, medium spicy, and dry . I like medium spiciness .

For the dry one, I prepared a few for adults . It’ll be a waste if there are leftovers after all .

[Yuna-oneesan, something is strange in the color . ] Fina

[The color?] Yuna

Fina told me to look at the pot, but it looks like a normal curry .

[Don’t be surprised . ] Yuna

[It has muddy color, but it also has a unique smell . ] Anzu

[That’s right . It smells irritating to the nose . ] Fina

After Anzu cooks the rice, she gives an impression of the smell of curry .

It certainly has a unique curry scent that stimulates the nose . But it also stimulates the appetite .

[This is the curry spice . It’s a little spicy, but it’s delicious . ] Yuna

I put some curry on a small plate and taste it .

Yep, it’s a proper curry .

It’s really best to partner it with Fukujinzuke (福神漬) . But as expected, it was impossible to prepare Fukujinzuke with what I have .

[Yuna-san, can I have a taste?] Anzu

I put the curry on small plates and give it to Anzu and Fina so that they can taste it . The two slowly receive the small plates and put the curry in their mouth .

[That’s spicy and delicious . ] Anzu

[I was worried because the color was strange, but it’s delicious . ] Fina

[The color is due to the spices . Right now, both of you tasted the mildly spicy-sweet curry for kids . Then, the curry next to it has a little more spiciness and it’s my favorite among the three . Finally a curry for adults with a strong level of spiciness . ] Yuna

When you look at the pot, each curry has a different color . The spicier the dish, the darker the color .

[Would you like to taste this too?] Yuna

I pointed to the spiciest curry pot .

[It’s spicy, isn’t it?] Anzu

[It’s spicy, but this is delicious . ] Yuna

I personally like medium spicy . I feel that mild is not enough, and dry is too spicy so I don’t feel like eating those kinds of curry . So, for me, medium spicy curry is the best curry .

Anzu and Fina challenged the dry curry . Even though it’s dry, it’s not so spicy that it cannot be eaten . In my opinion, it’s about the same level of spiciness written on the packaging of a pouched curry at best . In the original world, I used to eat pouched curry alone . However, I wanted them to stop differentiating the level of spiciness depending on the manufacturer . Some were medium spicy, but some were as spicy as the dry ones .

The two ate a bite of dry curry .

[It’s too spicy!] Fina

Fina shouted . I gave her the water I have prepared . When Fina received it, she immediately drank it all at once .

[Well, that was painful . ] Anzu

It seems that dry curry was still too early for Fina . But Anzu seems to be fine . Are you used to salty foods? Though it’s a different thing when it comes to spicy foods .

[It’s spicy, but it might be delicious if you eat it with rice . ] Anzu

[It’s also delicious if you put it on bread or eat it with udon . ] Yuna

I want to eat curry bread and curry udon now . I wonder if I should make it next time .

But since we’re in the town of Mereera, I think it’s better to add shrimp, shellfish, and squid to it . Seafood curry is also good .

The rice was cooked properly, so we’re headed to the sandy beach where the children play with the finished curry and rice .

When we arrived at the beach house, we called the children playing at the beach .

[It’s rice . ]

[I’m hungry . ]

The children gathered .

[Yuna-chan made it today, right?] Tirumina

[I helped too . ] Fina

Fina corrected Tirumina-san’s words .

[Yuna-chan, did Fina help you?] Tirumina

[She was helpful to the point where she can get married anytime . ] Yuna

[Oh, yeah? But if that happens, Gentz will go berserk . However, it’s okay if Yuna-chan takes her in . ] Tirumina

[Mom!] Fina

Fina shyly hits Tirumina-san multiple times .

While laughing, I put a pot of curry and the cooked rice on the table .

[So Yuna-chan, what did you make?] Tirumina

[A dish called curry . It’s a bit spicy, but it’s delicious . ] Yuna

I told them to line up so we can hand it over in an orderly fashion . Fina, who’s standing next to me puts curry on the plate served with rice . It’s the sweet curry for children .

[It smells weird . ]

[My nose feels stuffy . ]

[That’s the smell of spices . Spices are good for you, so it’s excellent to eat after getting tired from playing . ] Yuna

A child received a plate . Then, Anzu, who’s standing next to Fina, filled the cup with water and handed it over to the child . When eating curry, you’ll need water on stand-by . Just in case it’s too spicy for them .

[There are many seconds, so eat a lot . ] Yuna

After distributing the curry to the children, it’s finally Noa’s turn .

[I’m looking forward to Yuna-san’s home cooking, but you’re mean because you didn’t let me help . ] Noa

[Because neither Noa nor Misa can cook . ] Yuna

[That’s true, but we can do as much as wash vegetables . ] Noa

No, I don’t need it .

[You can do that?] Yuna

[U~n, sometimes I ask Surilina to teach me, though I’m not good at it, I can do it . ] Noa

She’s an aristocrat, so I thought she couldn’t do even that .

[And so, we have spicy food . There are three types to choose from, but which one would you choose?] Yuna

[The least spicy please . ] Noa

[Me too . ] Misa

Noah and Misa chose the sweet curry .

[Then I’ll take it the second hottest one . ] Shia

[Oneesama, can I try a little?] Noa

[Then, shall we put a little on Noa’s plate?] Yuna

[Is that okay?] Noa

I gave her the sweet curry as a main, then add a little bit of the medium spicy . Next are Marina and Eru, who lined up behind Noa and others, they chose medium spicy curry .

Then Lurina-san and Gill came next .

[I’m looking forward to Yuna-chan’s new food . ] Lurina

[Lurina-san are you okay with spicy?] Yuna

[Of course, I love spicy food . ] Lurina

[Then I’ll leave it spicy . ] Yuna

I sprinkled the dry curry on top of the rice . She’s the first one to get the dry curry .

[Gill are you okay with spicy?] Yuna

[Not spicy . ] Gill

[…………] Yuna

I stopped trying to get rid of the dry curry .

[Gill, you have such a large figure, but you’re not good with spicy . ] Lurina

Some unexpected words came out of Lurina-san’s mouth .

[Body size doesn’t matter . ] Gill

Gill rejects the relation between body size and spiciness .

Well, it certainly doesn’t matter . Anzu was okay with spicy . Besides, Lurina-san seems to be okay with it too . So body figure and gender does not matter .

For the time being, I gave Gill a sweet curry .

Then Morin-san, Karin-san, and Elena-san chose medium spicy curry .

[I’m not good with spicy food . ] Seno

Seno-san and Nifu-san chose sweet curry, while Forne-san and Betoru-san chose medium spicy .

And sweet curry to the director and Liz-san . No one wants to try dry curry .

[Gentz-san yours is dry, isn’t it?] Yuna

[I don’t want spicy either . ] Gentz

Even Gentz-san chose the sweet curry for children .

Tirumina-san, Fina, and Shuri also chose sweet curry . Well, it can’t be helped here . Unexpectedly, few people tried dry curry . If there are leftovers, I can reduce the spiciness by adding milk, right?

And so, everyone started eating rice all at once .

All the voices I heard were <delicious> . Some of the children are even saying the same . It’s delicious with bread, so I took the bread out of the bear box .

Cliff came from the middle of the line, so I immediately gave him a dry curry, but he was eating it deliciously, so I was a little disappointed . Well, it’s not too spicy that you can’t eat it, but I wanted to see a different reaction .

By the way, Gran-san chose sweet curry . Masrika chose medium spicy, while Itia chose dry .

As a result of eating curry rice, it was well-received overall .

Tirumina-san asked me, <Would you like to sell it in the store?>, But I said, <I won’t sell it> . As expected, even if I increase the amount of food, the shop will have difficulties and the distribution of spices will be difficult . Even if the traders carry it on a regular basis, the price will be too high .

It’s a hassle if I buy it every time using the bear gate and it’s even more troublesome if Karina finds me .

But spices will last a long time, so should I buy them in large quantities? Should it be okay if I sealed it and stored it in the refrigerator?

Or I can just put it in the bear box .
