She Becomes The Hero In Another World 126 She Makes Breakfas

"Did I hear food being mentioned!?" He asked, eyes sparkling.

Robin looked at Skye, and raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you eat breakfast with the others?"

"I had one breakfast. There's always room for second breakfast!" Skye replied cheerfully, landing on Robin's shoulder.

"Pfft! What are you, a hobbit?!" Robin chortled, tapping it on its nose.

"How forgetful can you be? I've told you many times, I am a flying cat!" Skye sighed good-naturedly, as it rubbed a paw over its nose to remove the ticklish feeling.

"What are you going to make this time?" Gerard asked.

"Actually, I was just going to eat leftovers." Robin said. "We made all that food, and haven't even gotten through it all yet-" She paused. Everyone, with the exception of Quinn and Sir Drago, looked disappointed.

"Hmm...well, I suppose I could whip up a quick something." Robin conceded. The sight of everyone's eyes sparkling

"Great!" Ponzu's eyes lit up as he grabbed his notebook. "I'm ready!"

Robin pondered what to make, as she looked at the ingredients. Then she smiled when she remembered she had cream cheese. That was a reasonably quick meal. Right after the first one, another meal idea came to her.

'Perfect! I'll make both at once.' Robin decided. As the cooking method was similar, she would make them all at the same time.

She took out a rather large frying pan. But instead of starting a fire, she decided to use magic to heat the pan. She placed the pan on a relatively flat rock and prepared the spell.

She held her mental image of a hot plate, with its self-heating function. She also added the conditions of hand-signaled temperature control, and that the spell would end after ten minutes, returning the pan to normal.

Then she cast the magic spell.

"Don't touch the pan. It's hot now." She warned.

"What? without fire?" Ponzu asked, surprised. "How do we know that it's hot?"

Robin responded with action. Taking out a pat of b.u.t.ter, she dropped about two tablespoons worth onto the hot metal, and watched as the b.u.t.ter instantly sizzled in the pan. She turned down the heat a bit because she didn't want the b.u.t.ter to burn, and made sure the whole flat surface of the pan was greased.

She then brought out three bagels and three blueberry m.u.f.fins, and cut them in half. She b.u.t.tered the m.u.f.fin halves because they were more absorbent. She didn't b.u.t.ter the bagels because she already had other plans for them.

"How do you usually eat bagels?" Robin asked.

"Just like m.u.f.fins, I suppose. It's a conveniently shaped bread. We just eat them." Ponzu replied.

"Then, allow me to expand your horizons." Robin smiled as she put both the bagels and the m.u.f.fins in the pan, cut side down. Using a spatula to keep them moving, she kept them in the pan for about five minutes. Then she took them out, revealing the nicely browned surfaces.

For the m.u.f.fins, she just added another bit of b.u.t.ter on top of the fried m.u.f.fin parts and gave Sir Drago and Quinn a serving on a plate, with a fork.

"And done with these. Here, try some." She said.

At this point, she was so hungry that she picked up her own m.u.f.fin in her hand and took a large bite. Yep. Nothing like a pan-fried blueberry m.u.f.fin with melting b.u.t.ter to set one in a good mood. She quickly finished the first half, and was about to start on the second half when she was caught by Skye's large-eyed begging face.

With a sigh, Robin returned the m.u.f.fin half to her plate, and put it down nearby.

"Here. I suppose you can have some too." She said. After all, pan-fried blueberry m.u.f.fins, though tasty, were very fattening. So, it was not a good idea to have too many of them. And there were still the bagels left to eat.

By this time, everyone felt their mouths water at the smell that resulted from Robin's cooking. They regretted having breakfast that morning. If they hadn't been so hasty, wouldn't they also have been able to enjoy the spread?

Quinn, who didn't eat much, had been good-natured enough to share half his m.u.f.fin with Ponzu, who Robin had not given a share to. Ponzu's eyes widened when he tasted the m.u.f.fin. How could merely frying and adding b.u.t.ter give this pastry such a depth of flavor?

While the others were eating, Robin took out cream cheese and spread it on the bagel halves. Then she retreated with her bagel to the side, before someone else decided to beg from her. As she was quite famished, she ignored the eyes of others as she enjoyed her bagel.

Ponzu looked at the bagel halves. and reached out for one. But before he could grab one, a hand had already reached out and s.n.a.t.c.hed it. Ponzu stared in disbelief at Christian, who shamelessly smiled.

"Ah, suddenly I am feeling quite hungry now. I think I'll give this new way of eating bagels a try." He said. Ponzu sighed, then reached for another, only to find the plate was empty. Sir Drago, Quinn, and Gerard had s.n.a.t.c.hed the other three while Ponzu was distracted.

"Wh! You!" Ponzu scowled, upset.

"You've already had the m.u.f.fin. And you weren't that hungry to begin with." Gerard 'helpfully' pointed out. "Besides, can't you just make your own?"

"Don't get greedy." Sir Drago nodded.

"I may be willing to share, but I'm not giving everything away." Quinn nodded. It had been a long time since he had tasted a bagel with cream cheese. He would never pa.s.s up the opportunity.

"Fine. I can understand why you would want to taste the flavours of your homeland." Ponzu grumpily admitted. "But, couldn't you have simply made these on your own?" He asked Quinn.

Everyone paused, then looked at Quinn. That's right. Quinn had also come from Robin's homeworld, so to speak. Couldn't he also have brought some recipes along?

Quinn brought up his hands defensively. "Hey hey! I'm a disaster in the kitchen that can even burn water. How on earth am I gonna be able to bring recipes when I can't even use them?"

"Is that so?" Gerard asked, them ignored Quinn to concentrated on the bagel he was eating. So not everyone on Robin's planet could make good food.

"Actually, I've been meaning to ask this for a while,but aren't you a bit too much of a cheat!?" Quinn pointed at Robin.

"How so?" Robin asked, having just finished her bagel.

"You're sharp in mind and sword, you've got looks that won't lose to any girl, you're a Hero, and now you can even cook! It's abnormal that you're so good at everything! Is there anything you can't do at this point?"

Robin considered things for a moment. "I can't cook Mongolian food." She replied truthfully. Quinn facepalmed.

"Ah, Robin, you didn't mention you specialized in survival and wilderness rescues." Christian reminded her. "The fact that you know over 100 methods to rescue someone in a forest really impressed me."

Quinn glared at Robin. "You are way too OP. If you're not careful, then you're gonna get nerfed."

Robin nodded. "And for this reason, I wear this." She pulled out her mask. Since they had entered Paradise, she had put off wearing her mask due to the fact that no one knew who she was.

"What!" Quinn laughed. "Do you think yourself some kind of superhero?"

"No. Everyone else does. That's why I will be wearing a mask in the future. I still enjoy walking around like a normal human being every now and then." She replied evenly.

"Fair enough." After a few more minutezs, they packed away the now cooled frying pan and plates and got onto the carriage.

Now that they were finally on their way to the next town, Robin brought out a book to read, but was distracted when Quill sat down next to her.

"So, Robin what new games have come out since I've been gone?" Quinn cut to the chase.

Robin nodded. "Well, just recalling from what I've seen on the internet, there have been more than a few Legend of zelda games, Supermario, Dragon Quest, Pokemon, and others. A few ones I remember are Tales of Vesparia, Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, and Persona V...."

She never did managed to get to read that book as Quinn kept asking questions for the rest of the ride until lunch time.
