Lesson 2.41 - That time I was reincarnated into another world and created a hell's kitchen
This was going to be interesting! I'd already taught a few recipes to Bonbon and those other cooks back in the Badass Fantasy Isekai LitRPG Starter Town, but this would be my first time doing it as part of a competition! I looked over at my team. It seemed like there was about an even split of people who looked excited to learn, and people who looked like they would rather be anywhere else than here right now. Thankfully, the [King] guy had agreed with our competition idea, so these elves were legally obligated to follow my instructions!
Speaking of, I looked over at my cute [Slave] to see how she was doing. She'd asked to borrow some cooking clothes to get into the spirit of the competition. She came walking back into the room from the closet where they stored their meats and linens. They'd given her a cute apron, a surprisingly neat sky-blue color that had the words "Nice Rack" printed on it, above a stylized image of a rack of ribs. She was also wearing a smile, bright and wide, with one fang sticking out as it should.
As cute as she was, it felt like there was something missing, and it took me until she walked past me to realize that it was the rest of her clothes. I gasped, blood gushing out of my nose like a pressure washer and splashing into one of their soup pits, immediately improving the taste.
"W-Wanda!" I shouted, my face turning bright red as I turned off the nose tap and the blood pressure built up behind it. "You're n-naked! Why are you naked?!"
"Wan!" she replied, "a naked apron is its own reward."
"I-I can't argue with that," I admitted. "But you can't just go walking around naked in public! This is the second time today, isn't it?! You have to wear clothes!"
To answer me, she merely indicated the apron. "Wan! Wanda is wearing clothes, Master! An apron is clothes!"
I stared at the apron, the gears in my head grinding against each other. That...
"I... I mean, sure, but... you're naked under the apron, right?" I was pretty sure that was how a naked apron worked, and any time she turned away from me, it confirmed the fact in both of my heads.
She pointed an accusatory finger at me. "Wan! Master is naked under his clothes too, isn't he?"
!!!
I quickly moved my hands to cover up my important bits. S-she was right! I was naked underneath my clothes! I used [Instant Change (Outfit)] to quickly don a long jacket to hide my shame. But even that was a failure, because my shame still showed on my face, in the form of a big pouty unsmile. Was I really criticizing Wanda for her nudity when I was no better? I'd have to remember to be less judgmental, at least until another opportunity for a good joke appeared.
"Wan!" Wanda barked, standing in front of the cooks, who were standing in a loose grouping that was almost a line. "What recipe are you going to teach them?"
That's right! I needed to figure out a recipe they would be able to handle. I scratched my chin. I didn't want to teach them how to make pizza, and I felt like steamed rice might be too complicated for them. I needed a simple recipe, something that was foolproof and easy to make. That's it! I'd teach them how to make hamburgers! Nothing said classic Neo-Shinjuku fast food like hamburgers, and I felt like it'd be right up their alley!
"Alright, listen up!" I instructed, "I'm going to be teaching you how to make hamburgers, so pay attention!"
I reached my hand out towards Bonbon and activated [Purloin] to forcibly borrow a stockpot, a smaller pot, a cutting board and knife, a few spoons, and apparently a pair of underwear, teleporting all of them into my hand in sequence. I was a bit confused at the last one; I wasn't sure why she would keep a spare pair of underwear in her knife bag. I started to get embarrassed about the fact that I was holding women's underwear, but quickly used [Parallel Wills] to create a new Hiro to be embarrassed for me, then killed him by deactivating the skill. Phew! That was close, I almost had to derail my cool teaching moment with a several seconds-long spit-take.
I tucked the underwear into my pocket and started setting up the cookware I'd need.

"The first thing to do is boil some water!" I explained, setting the stock pot on top of one of their fires.
One of the cooks gasped, pointing at the pot in shock. "What's that radical thing? It's like some kinda... aboveground soup pit!"
I chuckled. "This is one of my inventions. I call it a 'cooking pot'."
Wanda raised an eyebrow at me. "Master, wan... you didn't invent that."
I stumbled a bit, dropping the spoon I was grabbing and dropping it into a soup pit. I fished it out and wiped it on the ground to clean it off, my hands still shaking a bit from her accusation. I... I'd forgotten which things I ripped off from my world, and which ones already existed!
"Right, but I could have invented it if it hadn't already existed," I elaborated. That earned a few nods of understanding from the cooks. Phew! I was in the clear.
"The first step to hamburger is the broth!" I turned to Wanda, snapping my fingers.
"Wanda!" I called out, "Go get some bones!"
She nodded and started to run, before pausing to turn back to me. "Wan... the skeleton kind, right?"
I blinked at her. "Uh... yes?"
She nodded again before running into their meat closet. All kinds of crashing noises started to come from within, and I turned back to my students.
"The next step of hamburgers is the tare! Simply mix these ingredients together and simmer in a pot!"
I quickly reached into my [Dimension Box] and brought out two bottles of random alcohols I'd bought at a market. I wasn't sure what they were, exactly, but the size and shape of the bottle looked pretty close to sake and mirin, so that was probably the best substitute I'd be able to find in this isekai world. I juggled the bottles, mixing them together into the pot before activating all of my magic [Skills] to cast [Create Food].
I blasted the pot with brown and normal sugar, before pointing my finger up at one of the elves, spraying them with sugar crystals.
"You! Go get some ginger, garlic, and green onions!"
"Uhhh..."
"They're vegetables," I explained.
The elf gave me the hang-loose sign and wandered off in the direction of one of the pantries. Next, I'd need some chasu pork. And the noodles too. And soy sauce... huh. This was gonna be a little tough. Wanda returned, carrying an armful of assorted bones. I reached for my skateboard to cast [Flame Ollie] to roast them, but Bonbon's words resonated in my mind:
"It's not about the boobs on the outside, but about the boobs on the inside."
I was pretty sure that had been her, but I was also reminded of the thing she'd said about relying on my skills. I shook my head, directing Wanda to instead toss the bones into the bonfire to roast properly. I shouldn't use my skills to roast the bones. I had something more important to do! We were still missing some key ingredients. I quickly excused myself and [Noclipped] through the nearest wall to go outside.
We had most of the things we needed for my recipe, but I'd realized that we were missing the most important parts!These dirtworlders... not only did they not have any pork in their meat closet, but they also didn't have any noodles or soy sauce!
I could fix this, but... I'd have to use one of my secret techniques. One I couldn't risk anybody seeing. I quickly bowed my head and took a deep breath, before activating my [FoodHub] [Cell Phone Arte]. The store interface popped up into my [Status HUD] and I quickly placed an order for a pack of prepared noodles, a bottle of soy sauce, and some chasu pork. with this, my hamburgers would be a cinch!
As soon as I transferred the gold, a portal opened above my head, and and the food dropped through it, into my waiting arms. I grinned a smile. I was glad I'd shelled out for the Deluxe Premium Shipping. I quickly tucked the ingredients into my [Dimension Box] and phased back into the kitchen.
"Okay, I'm back!" I announced. "I had to go kill a... whatever animal pork comes from." The cooks nodded, and I walked over to the pot with the tare, discretely pouring in the soy sauce as I cleared my throat.
"Next, we add the pork!" I told them, dropping the chasu pork into the tare. "We'll let this simmer until we have a scene change."
I pointed out another elf, and had him fetch the bones out of the bonfire, dumping them into the stock pot of water. The other elf I'd sent off earlier came back with some vegetables. I'd forgotten which ones I asked for, but he had an armful, so at least one or two of them were probably right. I unsheathed my katana and cut them to a fine mince with a single swipe of my blade, then had the elf drop them into the pot with the tare, while another elf dumped more veggies into the stock pot.
Alright! Things were almost ready! I used my [Trick or Treat Room] ability to speed up the broth, then quickly strained it off into another pot. Wanda gave me a thumbs up from where I'd had her cutting veggies, and now everything was starting to come together. It was finally time to assemble.
I grabbed a large wooden bowl and set it on the sand in front of me. I drew my katana and slashed, spraying tare and stock into the bowl in a single swipe, as well as cutting off a few slices of the chasu pork. The pork flew into the air, as I reached out with another hand I grew using [Manifest Extra Arms], pulling the noodles out of the boiling water. I dumped them into the bowl, before folding them over a few times to make a platform. The pork fell neatly on top, the noodles keeping them from sinking into the broth.
I quickly activated all of my magic skills to cast [Summon Egg] with my [Flaming Spell] and [Wet Spell] Magic Artes, causing a perfectly soft-boiled egg to appear from thin air. I snatched it out of the air before karate-chopping it in half and discarding the shells. I set the egg into the bowl, before tossing in green onions and bean sprouts alongside it. I stepped back, raising my hands. It was complete.
"Heh..." I chuckled. I was sure to win at this rate. "Wanda, give it a try..."
My [Doggirl Companion] scooped up the hamburger, squishing the bun with her fingers and taking a big bite. I took a quick photo using my [Camera] Cell Phone Arte, to add to my "anime girls eating hamburgers" folder later. She lowered the burger, licking a bit of ketchup from the side of her mouth. Her eyes were sparkling, and she was nodding emphatically.
Heh... I'd done it again. I rubbed under my nose with the side of my finger, beaming with pride.
"This is amazing, wan! Master is a great cook!" Wanda exclaimed.
"Of course," I conceded. "But it's not about how good of a cook I am." After all... there was another step to this competition. I'd already done the hard work, but I wasn't home free just yet!
"Alright," I told the assorted cooks gathered near me. "Now you do all of that."
