I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated

Chapter 568: The Curry's Impact

They got a high mark in Cooking Class. They made the best use of what they had and made delicious food.

But even after such class, Fran still went to the cafeteria to eat lunch.

Charon and her group members were following her too. It was probably because the amount of food they ate in the Cooking Class was not enough for them.

But for their classmate, they probably just want to remove the bad taste from their mouth.

While everyone else was enjoying the food served in the cafeteria, only Fran was eating something different. In the cafeteria, people were allowed to bring in their food from outside. Well, it was just a school cafeteria after all.

The students, especially those who do not live in the dormitory but commute from the town, seemed to get their meals from outside.

And of course, what Fran was eating was the curry rice.

The Skunk Raccoon curry that they made wasn’t quite satisfying for Fran. So, she decided to eat some curry…

「Nn. This is for you」

「Woof!」

Fran then continues to shove the curry into her mouth over and over again. Urushi too, but since he ate his curry in his puppy mode, his mouth was all messy.

Looking at Fran and Urushi eating, Charon seemed to be a little envious.

「That must be a dish made with the curry powder from the Cooking Class earlier, isn’t it?」

「Nn? Yes, but different」

「Ummm…? It isn’t curry?」

「It’s curry. But it’s completely different from the one we had earlier. This is the real thing. The one we made earlier was a total failure」

「The one we made earlier? It was so delicious though?」

「Nn. Have some」

「Eh? Th-thank you. Now, if you’ll excuse me… Aaah」

Charon hesitantly sipped at the spoon that Fran had offered to her.

「Th-this is…! I-it’s delicious! Certainly, it can’t be compared to the one we had earlier!」

I don’t know how many times I’ve seen that look of astonishment today.

Well, the food they made in the Cooking Class may have been delicious, but the ingredients used were not good, and the curry powder was not mixed properly. On the other hand, what Fran just made her eat was the best curry I made with all my heart.

Needless to say, this one should have tasted better.

Looking at Charon who was impressed, Fran showed her smug face.

「Fufun」

「Is that the one that Fran’s Master makes?」

「Nn!」

「Is he really an adventurer? Not a cook?」

She must feel very happy for her to praise the curry. Fran then took out a bowl of curry from the dimensional storage and placed it in front of Charon.

「I-is this for me?」

「Nn」

「Thank you very much!」

Charon thanked her with a radiant smile. She had already filled her stomach with the lunch provided by the cafeteria, but she seemed to still be able to eat more.

「Thanks for the food」

As one would expect from a noble, the way she moved the spoon was elegant at first, but her pace then became incredible. Her hand never stopped moving the spoon, and the curry in the bowl was steadily decreasing.

「I-is it that good? H-hey, let us have some too…」

They came to the cafeteria after the Cooking Drill, so Osless and the other boys were sitting together at the same table as Fran.

Seeing Charon eating the curry so deliciously, I guess they couldn’t hold back anymore. Osless then said that he wanted to eat it too.

If it was Fran from before, she would have found it hard to share the curry. However, I wondered if she had developed a sense of friendship after the short time they spent together in the Cooking Class.

Fran then willingly served them some curry. She also served it with a side of sliced vegetables pickled in soy sauce.

「It’s delicious!」

「Oh, God! This is so good」

「Gatsu gatsu!」 (*munching SFX)

It was just that, you know if she serves curry to only Osless and the others here――

「…Gulp」

「…Slurp」

All their classmates around were looking at Fran’s table with a menacing look like starving beasts.

No, even the other students, other than their classmates, were also looking at them.

「Muh」

「Woof」

Fran and Urushi, who can smile even when surrounded by a pack of magic beasts, were being pressured by the students.

「…This, have some too」

『Ah! If you do that――』

「「「「Uwoooh」」」」

The moment Fran took out one of the barrels from the dimensional storage, an earth-shaking cheer suddenly rose. It already sounded like a war cry.

『Pa-panic will occur here!』

I braced myself for that, but Osless, Marquez, and Rellus voluntarily took charge of serving the food and organizing a line.

「It seems like it’s our fault… So, let us at least do this」

「He’s right」

「I-I don’t know what will happen if we leave them alone」

The Special Battle Class seemed to be well respected, and the students from other departments obediently followed their instruction. Thanks to that, we were able to finish distributing the curry smoothly without any incident breaking out.

「It tastes much better than cafeteria food!」

「It’s already more than a few degrees higher」

「You’re right! This is certainly hundreds of times better!」

While Fran gazed sadly at the empty barrel, there were shouts of joy in various parts of the cafeteria. Apparently, the curry was well accepted.

However, other people besides Fran could not simply be happy about the situation. But it was not Charon and the others.

「Hey, you. The little Beastman there」

「Nn?」

「What the hell do you think you’re doing here without telling us?」

The words alone sounded as if he was part of the town’s hoodlums, but I suppose that was to be expected.

The man who was staring at Fran with a blue mark on his forehead was an elderly man dressed in a white cook’s uniform.

「I’m Noritz, I’m in charge of cooking here. Can I have a talk with you for a moment?」
