“Ha……!”
With a crisp sound, the knife cut into the onion, splitting it in half. One of the halves tumbled to the side and rolled onto the countertop.
My eyes and nostrils were tearing up like crazy, it was painful.
How much more onions did I need to dice..….?
Hakuou was a strict teacher—he laughed sometimes, but even then you could tell there was a scary aura.
This was kind of cheating, but I tried to cut the ingredients with magic.

Hakuou’s face when I did that—never mind, it would be better to forget that.

Just how pathetic had I seemed to him these past few days?
Just learning how to hold the knife took me some time, and I also learned that there wasn’t just one single method to cut ingredients.
I used to think that a dish was fine as long as it could go down the stomach, but there was actually so much thought and detail that went into each dish. There was more depth to cooking than I had thought.
Besides that, it was kind of fun too.
It had been a struggle—none of the hamburger steaks I had made could have been called ‘delicious-looking’ even under the best flattery.
Some of them were misshapen, some were raw inside, and some were burnt into charcoal……
But Hakuou didn’t show a single bit of displeasure, and patiently guided me to try this or that method instead. Now, I finally made something that could at least be called a ‘hamburger steak’.
“Bwother, waaait—!”
“Nah! Brother, it has to be way more of a whoosh!”
“Meanie Guy. —’m gonna fall!”
From the kitchen, I could see the children in the backyard. Andrea was transformed, while the shouting twins were riding on him.
With his beautiful silver mane caught in the wind, Andrea leaped and hopped and ran around the yard, looking peaceful and happy.
