With a thump, a light sound echoes through the kitchen of the mansion.

　Bartolo chops up the freshly purchased onions with a familiar hand.

　Then he fries the chopped ones in a frying pan until they turn a candy color.

　I pound the meat, which is a ratio of seven beef to three pork, in a rhythm of two knives.

'Are you sure you're okay with pounding the meat that much?'

　Bartolo peers at the ground beef to see if he's finished frying the onions.

'It's all right,'

Okay.

　What I'm trying to make right now is hamburgers. Although this dish requires a little bit of preparation, it is very easy to eat because it is soft. It is very popular with both children and adults, and it is also a gentle dish that can be eaten by old people with poor chewing skills.

　Hamburger all-around. Truly amazing.


　When the ground beef is ready, wait for the fried onions to cool down and then mix them by hand with the eggs.

　The key before that is to throw the ice magic ice into the bowl as you see fit, and while the fried onions are cooling, throw the ice magic into the bowl.

　Keep your hands in a little water to cool them down as you mix.

　This is to ensure that the temperature of your hands doesn't melt the fat from the meat and make it dry.

　When you knead until it is sticky, you do the legendary feat that is said to be the image of everyone who makes hamburgers.

　They throw the kneaded seeds to each other with their left and right hands about ten times. This is truly the technique of the mom. By doing this, the air in the hamburger is released and the hamburger does not crack easily when it is cooked.


　If you get married and have a wife, I would like you to do this in the kitchen with an apron on.

　And I want to watch them do it.

"Hey kid. Your face is disheveled.

Ha!

　Oops, no good. I was cooking now. I hurriedly turned my face back to normal.

　In fact, when I was in high school, I did this technique in home economics and I missed catching it with my hand and hit my friend next to me.

　I can still vividly picture the seeds stuck to my apron from that moment. Yes, like a gee...........no, it's nothing. Forget about it. Anyway, don't let your guard down.


　Cook them on one side in a hot pan with oil. Lightly dent the middle of the seeds before grilling. The hamburger will be swollen all over as it cooks. The middle part is especially difficult to cook, so the center of the seed will be cooked evenly. By the way, when you grill the hamburgers, the heat is medium. If the heat is low, the hamburger will not be cooked, and if the heat is high, the surface will be burned.

　When one side of the burger is cooked, turn it over and cover it with a lid to steam it. When it's cooked all the way through, it's done.

It's done!

'Oh! It smells so good. I'm sure the smell is leaking out of the kitchen.

It's probably leaking.

　From the open door of the kitchen, you can see Meena's face quietly showing only her face.

It's disgusting. You're drooling.

It sounds like he's harping on something.

　I can hear the sound of loud inhaling and exhaling, probably desperately trying to smell the hamburger.

'It must be the hyenas they're trying to get at the leftovers.

'I don't know what a hyena is, but I'll know later. Those are the eyes of a wolf.

Let's leave that one alone.

'Yeah. As long as it's not sugar, it should be fine.

　Ignoring the licking look from Meena, Bartolo and I prepare to eat our hamburgers.

''Haha.''

　With only the sound of dishes being prepared, I thought I heard a voice like a weak dog.

　I didn't hear anything. This is an auditory hallucination.

'Come on, let's eat! Bartolo.

Oh, yeah.

　Bartolo looks uncomfortable with Meena's gaze.

'Yeah, it's good. It's a hamburger.'

　Neither too hard nor too soft. The cut is well cooked and the cross section is red to brown. The cross section is red to brown, and the meat is rich in juices.

It's amazingly tender meat. And this gravy........

　Bartolo mugs and chews, moving his mouth to chew.

'Hawa.'

　How long is Meena going to be watching this? How's work?

Good. Let's just keep building and practicing.

Oh, let's get to work. It's gonna be great with some cheese and stuff!

'Wow! Bartolo is brilliant. I also recommend you to put cheese in it. You can also use carrots and mushrooms instead of onions.

　We nodded at each other in agreement.

'So what are we going to do with this one extra hamburger?

....!

　Bartolo points to the remaining hamburger in the pan.

　Indeed. I can't eat too much since I'm going to taste it for Bartolo's practice.

　If I eat any more, it will affect my dinner for me as a six-year-old.

　Bartolo could afford to eat another one. However, Bartolo is very concerned about the door.

"Jeez....

"Boy, can I give it to Meena?

'I don't need to eat any more of it, it'll affect my dinner. Share it with Meena.

Whew!

　Meena is met with a shout of delight from the door around the

'Master Alfried, can I eat this?'

Okay.

Thank you!

　Meena's smile blossoms into a puffy, blossoming smile.
　As it is, Meena takes her hand away from the door and waits for Bartolo to put the hamburger on a plate.

　His hand is already well behaved, knife and fork in hand.

'Hamburger... hamburger...'

　Hyena, it was worth sticking around at the door for so long.

See?

　Meena receives a plate from Bartolo, neatly arranged with vegetables and hamburgers together.

　No sauce was poured on it this time.

　Meena looked at the hamburger with moist eyes and smelled it carefully.

''Haha ... just the smell alone makes me happy.''

Then you don't want it?

'No, it's not! ...I beg your pardon.

Uh-huh. I'm sorry.

　Meena shucks! And, with knife and fork at the ready, he tries to eat the hamburger.

　The knife is slowly working its way to the meat of the hamburger.

It smells good, doesn't it? Did Al make something? Can I have a minute?

　Oh, my God! The monster came over, caught in a hamburger.

'Huh? My hamburger is gone!

Sister Elinora. Today's main course is hamburgers.

'What! Oh no!

　I snatch Meena's hamburger and offer it up to the One who deserves the highest priority. Don't forget to offer up your knife and fork.

　Sorry, meena. That's just the way the world works. Those below are simply exploited by those above them. What a cruel world.

'Wow! Looks good again! Erna, I'm going to go eat with my mom.

I'd appreciate your feedback later.

Mmm. Thanks for everything.

What a waste of time.

　Step back. Sister Elinora makes me back down and leaves the kitchen with a hand gesture of

'Sorry Mina. Sis Elinora took it from me.

"...uhhhhhh...

　Meena looks sadly down in her eyes. It's kind of cute, like a dog that's had its food taken away.

'You're switching up your body language so much, aren't you?

'He's a nobleman. But before he's a nobleman, he's my brother he's my brother.

　I said twice because it was important.

'I'm going to make another hamburger now, so you'll have to wait.

　Bartolo put his hand on Meena's shoulder as she turned over and smiled. To me, Bartolo's teeth looked like they were shining killer.

'Yes, I'm waiting!

　It's got a nice vibe to it. Why don't you two just get together already? You're both old enough to be single, right?

Hey, Meena? How long are you going to slack off?

　Mel comes into the kitchen to find Meena.

'Ah! Mr. Mel!

'Oh! Miss Mel! I don't think so. How long are you slacking off? You haven't even finished cleaning the hallway.

'What? No, but we're about to....

'No, but not! Here we go.

'What? Hey! Ah! Hamburgeroooooo!

　Meena is caught by Mel by the collar and is dragged sluggishly away.

'Aww. I'll call you back later if I can.'

Are you sure? Absolutely!

　With those words, they left the kitchen for the last time.

　Meena couldn't eat her hamburger after all that day.

　It was because Sister Elinora and Mother Erna had arrived. The hamburgers seemed to be to their liking, and there was no way there was going to be any left for Meena.
