"There was flour. Cabbage and yam were not exactly the same, but they were similar. Eggs are OK, too. I bought chicken for soup stock, so there's no problem for now. If you give up seaweed and green seaweed, you can't help but give up sauce and mayonnaise. There may be sauce for skewers, but I guess we have to use it."

　With a sigh, Ray checks the market for all the ingredients.
　"Regarding cabbage and yam, although not the same name, I bought similar-looking products called ""Kiberg vegetables"" and ""Jacob potatoes"" respectively, and I was very satisfied with the purchase for Ray." Originally, they should have asked the blacksmith to make an iron plate for takoyaki, but it was a trial to see if they could make okonomiyaki or takoyaki without kelp or dried bonito, so there was no need to go that far.
　As I walk along the street with Seto to the Coral Pavilion in the Blue Sea, I suddenly see a familiar stand. This is Arctos, who introduced Ray, a stall where a stubborn old man is grilling fish, to the Coral Tei in the Blue Sea.

"... well, why don't you try it here anyway?"

　Fortunately, it's only past 9 a.m. and there are few customers around the usual bustling Arctos stall. If so, I'd like to use this place, so Ray approaches the stall.
　Even Seto probably remembers the taste of grilled fish he ate at an Arctos stall. Follow Ray with a humming voice.

"Huh? What's the matter, Ray?" What's more, set. If you're hungry, will you eat something?"
"No, I didn't come to buy and drink today. I'm going to try a new dish, and I'd like to taste it and get some feedback. You don't mind?"

　Arctos pondered Ray's words for a few seconds, but eventually he snorted and opened his mouth.

"Well, it doesn't matter," Fortunately, I still have time until noon when I get busy, so I'm not busy now. Besides, can I taste the new food?"
"Oh, by all means taste it,"
"Well, I don't know what's going on with the adventurers who beat Lem Race making new dishes. Come here, come here. I also have cooking utensils for magic items, so if you need them, I'll do it for you."
"I'll be saved. Please wait here, Seto. Eat this for now."

　Place a few dried fish in front of the set on a plate borrowed from Arctos.
　Of course it's not cooked, so it's still raw, but Seto gurgles happily, chewing with a stick and swallowing it.

(The grilled fish must have the taste of grilled fish, and the raw fish must have the taste of raw fish.)

　Staring sideways at Seto's appearance, he immediately poured water into the pot and handed it to Arctos.

"Let this boil for now,"
"Oh,"

　Arctos, who reply briefly and place a pot in a place where the fire is weak. Next to that, Ray immediately cut the chicken he had bought and put it in a pot still in water. One serving reduced the amount of water, so the water quickly boils down the chicken.

"What's that? Boiled food?"
"Well, this is soup stock... well, it's used as a base for soup."
"...Then wouldn't you normally put herbs in it to put out the odor?"
"Yes, was it?"

　As for Ray, he can cook to some extent, but since there was something like the soup stock, he has never done anything in detail such as making soup stock. In the first place, when cooking okonomiyaki or takoyaki, they used special powder, and since they rarely cooked anything other than curry or stew, they bow slightly to the words of Arctos.

"I usually put it in... what do you do?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, but please don't hesitate."
"O, leave it to me,"

　Arctos quickly prepare ingredients such as leeks, ginger, or onions and put them into a pan. Watching the situation, Ray was glad he didn't cook alone.

(The soup stock should be turned off and cooled before it boils...?)

　Decide so based on the dim memories you've seen on a cooking show and ask Arctos to turn off the heat before it boils down to the next step.
　Cut squid, shrimp, octopus, and so on, chop the kiberg vegetables into small pieces, and grind the Jacob potatoes with the instrument that Arctos had.
　After that, wait for the pan to cool down to a certain extent, put flour and eggs in the bowl, scoop out the floating ash, dissolve it in chicken stock, add the ingredients, stir it, and bake it.

"...it doesn't look very delicious."

　Staring inside the bowl, I wonder if this is really something I can eat, and immediately heat the iron plate and pour the contents of the bowl into it.

"By the way, you can put other ingredients on top of the dough spread out like this. Well, I guess each of you likes this area. I put it in the dough like this because it tastes better when mixed."
"I see. So you're going to turn it over like this?"
"Oh, is there any cooking utensil that I can use to turn it over?"
"Is it like this?"

　Arctus's offer of Ray's words, though somewhat different in shape, was clearly like a fly-back.

(I don't think it's strange to have this kind of cooking utensil, for there are steaks, etc.)

　Accepting the fried food with a deep understanding, they turn the okonomiyaki upside down.
　As it was a prototype, it was probably due to the fact that it was not so large in volume and was not even 20 cm in diameter. succeed in turning over without any particular failure

"…Well, it's not a bad performance for an amateur. Did you say this okonomiyaki? It's good compared to what it looked like before cooking
"It's supposed to be done by turning it over several times, but this time it's thin. That's enough, isn't it? Arctos, may I use the sauce for grilling fish?"
"Oh? Oh, well, I don't mind. I love you."

　Sprinkle the sauce over the seafood okonomiyaki on the iron plate. The sauce then drops onto the iron plate and the scorched, appetizing smell of the sauce spreads rapidly around.

"...that's not bad." Oh, it's not bad."
"Right? Look, that's it for now. Try it."

　Lay the okonomiyaki on a plate and serve it on a plate.
　Arctos, receiving it, purr at the scent floating on the plate, and then stick his fork up to his mouth.

(Okonomiyaki and forks... do you use a knife if you leave it alone? Also, it's quite exotic.)

　He puts out a new portion of Seto on a plate, laughing bitterly at the sight which is a little unthinkable to his common sense.

"Rolling".

　Ray also uses a fork to bring his own okonomiyaki to his mouth, as he gurgles joyfully and immediately watches him poking okonomiyaki with a kuchibashi.
　The first bite and the first taste of the sauce. The sauce wasn't adjusted for okonomiyaki, so I felt uncomfortable for a moment, but it's not that bad for the sweet and spicy sauce. The flavor of shrimp, squid, or fish mixed into the dough spreads throughout the mouth, and you can enjoy the crunchy texture of kiberg vegetables and the texture of shrimp and squid. I could enjoy the fluffy texture of the dough itself, perhaps because it was filled with grated Jacob potatoes. However, the soup stock made from chicken probably didn't go well with seafood okonomiyaki. Due to the fact that the sauce is different, ingredients such as red ginger and tenkasu, and the absence of green seaweed, bonito, mayonnaise, and so on, it can be said that it is delicious enough, but it is still somewhat unsatisfactory. However, this is because Ray is used to eating ordinary okonomiyaki, and it has nothing to do with people who eat okonomiyaki for the first time in their lives..."This is... delicious, isn' It was my first time to eat it, but I didn't know I could make it so easily..."
"Gruly!"

　Arctos dyed his face grimly, and Seto had a second helping, with round eyes on Ray.
　To his eyes, he transfers one of the remaining okonomiyaki onto Seto's plate, placing it on Arctus' plate, and calls out.

"This dish is called okonomiyaki, and you just put your favorite ingredients in it and bake it according to the name of the dish. As far as I know, leeks and meat were common."
"Oh, I'll put the ingredients you like and bake them, so I'll take care of them." ...the fluffy texture of this dough is the effect of the guy who grated the Jacob potato, though there are still many improvements..."
"As for that matter, I beg your pardon, but find me there." All I can do is reproduce as much as I can what I know from my knowledge."
"...reproduction?"

　Arctus nods slightly at Ray's words.
　It may be cute if a child does it, but even if an elderly strict old man does it, there is no such thing as cuteness.

"I'm not well known for this city, but I was brought up deep in the mountains by a wizard." Some of the books that the wizard had included dishes that no longer existed. This dish called okonomiyaki was also mentioned in the book."
"…Oh! Are you sure the food is gone now?" Interesting. Ray, can I serve this dish at home or spread it to other people?"
"Oh, I don't mind," I don't mind... but I think we'd better do something about it now."
"What?"

　From Ray's perspective, there are nearly ten people gathered around the Arctos stall. Everyone was looking at the okonomiyaki on the iron plate, which had several slices left. the smell of the sauce burning on a hot iron plate The smell stimulated the appetite of those walking around the stall with its brutal power.
　Of course, there is always a scorched smell of skewer sauce, but there must have been a curious taste of okonomiyaki that existed on the iron plate.

"... Oh, Ray. I'm sorry, but can you help me a little? It seems difficult to manage this number of people if you've just told me."
"Well, it can't be helped in this situation. What do you do with the ingredients? Seafood, let alone vegetables, I only have what I have prepared for myself.
"Wait a minute... Kibergese and Jacob potatoes." Hey, you there. Buy Kiberg vegetables and Jacob potatoes with this money as soon as possible. Oh, and flour, too."

　They must have prepared for change. Arctos passes a few copper coins to a familiar customer in front of the stall.

"What? Oh, am I? I'm a guest, too!"
"Bring it up! Just buy it! Instead, I'll treat you to dinner today. But I won't forgive you if you buy something bad!"
`Yes!'

　Screaming and looking up at the customers leaving, they immediately pour fresh water again to make soup stock with chicken.
　"In addition, it should be said that the chicken that has finished making soup stock is a dish with a different sauce than Ray's."

"Ray, for the time being, I'll make as much as I can with what I have. At this rate, too many people gather and get confused."
"Okay, then I'll leave it to my profession to cut and mix the ingredients. I'm going to bake it, so please make more and more dough."
"Well, the price is... well, for the time being, three copper coins."
"Isn't it too cheap?"
"I don't know what I'm going to focus on today anyway, and I don't know how much I'm going to sell. It's a reasonable price for now.

　Along with the words, they quickly make okonomiyaki dough by mixing the excess chicken stock with eggs, add other ingredients, and hand the ball to Ray.
　Ray takes it and pours the dough over the hot iron plate. A fragrant scent that spreads with a sizzling sound. The scent also attracts curious attention from customers around the stalls.
　Since one sheet is not that big, turn the dough over and pour the sauce over it. The scorching aroma of the sauce spreads around the area, making the customers' eyes stronger.
　As they bake several okonomiyaki in one go and pour sauce on it, customers who are interested in the customers who gather at the stall are attracted to the burning smell of the sauce, and so on. In the meantime...

"Oh, Mr. Ray," What are you doing?"
"Ray? That's true. Did you change from adventurer to stall?"

　Suddenly I looked up at the familiar voice, and somehow I saw Hendeca and Miloire.
　It must have been unfortunate for both of them to come at this busy time. In no time, they are dragged into the street and work as temporary workers.
　In addition, the sales on this day are the highest ever due to the curiosity of okonomiyaki, and from the next day, they will become a specialty of Arctos stalls.
　Moreover, the recipe was not so difficult to make, and Arctos also taught the recipe so easily that okonomiyaki spread throughout the city of Emosion, starting from there to neighboring countries, including the Kingdom of Milliana.
