And so, Ryuuji transformed into a cooking devil.

“Uwah~! Amazing!”

Making the food dance freely in the air with skilled handling of the frying pan to where Ami, who had peeked in, was rendered speechless, Ryuuji used some of Ami’s father’s liquor to flambe various fruits for dessert, then switching pans, he started making a simple Takasu-styled chutney,

“Is there anything I can do to help?”

To Kitamura, the former village chief of the nudist colony who had asked just now, he gave the order, “Wash the rice! Wash it like your life depends on it!”,

“…Taiga. You understand, right?!”

With a glint in his eyes that was like the edge of a sharp Yakuza blade, he directed his gaze at Taiga. It’s not like he was trying to collect on an overdue loan by selling Taiga off somewhere; it’s just that he was pressing her to make a decision.

“Yeah. You don’t have your spice collection with you, so for right now, you have to use this instead…”

Taiga had nodded. She held in her hands a red spice that came attached with the roux and had a label that read: “Seasoning for extra spiciness * Shockingly HOT (Because it is extremely spicy, please adjust flavor using only very minute quantities. This is a warning that product may also cause harm to consumer’s health)”. If it was Minori’s wish, then there was no helping it… With a resolute expression, she tore the package of spice completely open. For Taiga who had never tasted anything more than mildly spicy, this was an adventure, no wait, she was just being completely reckless and foolhardy.

Shake, shake, shake… Into the pot it went, where it would take about fifteen minutes to cook. And then, saying “I found this. It’s from last year, but maybe we can use it anyway?”, Ami took the pack of curry and chili pepper that she had discovered lying in the kitchen drawer and without a second thought tossed that in too, resetting the fifteen minutes they’d have to wait for the dish to finish.

And thus according to Ryuuji’s unspoken plan to avoid overcooking and yield something akin to the school-served curry, the potatoes were still in round pieces and the onions were still recognizable when the simple curry filled with lots of carrots and lightly browned pork was finished.

“…Even if I try to put it in a single word like ‘spicy’, or for example ‘salty’, the wasabi will make your nose burn, the chili peppers will burn your tongue, it’ll burn your throat…And I think you’ll experience a wide variety of spiciness even beyond that. I sampled tonight’s curry earlier, and I have to say it’s got an extreme taste that knocked me straight in the head. I stuck to Kushieda’s request, but even so, I tried to make it simply, along the lines of villa-type cuisine.”

With a helping of rice and curry on each of their plates, they were all seated around the dining room table, and the other members were gazing steadily at Ryuuji’s lips as he continued his exposition because they were swollen, practically throbbing.
