The next morning, Yuki came over to wake Haruka and me. When we got out of our tent, we saw that preparations for breakfast were already done. Apparently Yuki and the others had cooked while taking it easy since they’d had nothing else to do. However, it soon became obvious that Touya hadn’t been of any help at all. He had been working out all morning and was covered in sweat, so Haruka cast Purification on him right away. He thanked Haruka, but she’d probably done less out of kindness and more because she didn’t want to eat breakfast next to a sweaty guy.

“We have soup for breakfast today,” said Natsuki. “It’s fish and grass with something like udon noodles.”

“Grass? Did we have edible grass on it?” I asked.

“Yeah. Touya-kun gathered some mitsuba parsley for us to use along with random leaves from the forest.”

Random? I took a look into the pot of soup. It gave off a delicious aroma. According to Natsuki, the chunks of yamame trout had been seasoned with salt and dried overnight.

“I made the udon-ish noodles,” said Yuki. “I did my best to get them as close as I could, but due to lack of space, they’re not very long, so sorry about that.” She explained that she had attempted making udon noodles because she was bored.

The noodles in the pot were shorter than twenty centimeters. Of course, we didn’t have tools like noodle rolling pins or a large wooden board, so Yuki had had no choice but to use a regular cutting board.

“It’s fine,” I said. “I don’t care how long the noodles are as long as they taste good.”

“We actually haven’t had a taste yet, but they should be fine, I think,” said Yuki.

“All right,” said Haruka, “it’s time to eat and find out.”

“Yeah, my stomach’s been growling for a while now,” said Touya.

That’s just because you spent the whole night working out, Touya. I had used up a lot of energy walking around as I practiced my Stealth skill, but Touya had been even more active than I had. Fortunately, his stomach wasn’t that loud.

“Let’s dig in!” we all exclaimed.

I tried the soup first and found that it tasted pretty good. It seemed like the only seasoning was salt and a few spices, but they complemented the fish stock, which was apparently made from the trout itself. The mitsuba parsley had a more pungent scent than the other herbs in the soup, but it added a nice touch of flavor. Apart from their length, Yuki’s udon-ish noodles tasted a lot like frozen sanuki udon and had a similar chewiness that I really enjoyed. They didn’t go down as smoothly as true udon noodles, but given the circumstances, Yuki had made some really good noodles with what was available to her.

“Um, how is it?” Yuki asked hesitantly.

“Both the soup and noodles taste great,” I replied.

Yuki beamed. Both the soup and the noodles made me feel at ease; they tasted like standard Japanese fare. I
