| Master Chef Deuce Version ～
Let’s Make Mackerel Curry 1～ | ||
Chef Ghost Chef Ghost  |
Alright, let’s wash our hands and begin! | |
Deuce  |
Ah, before we start… Chef, there was something I wanted to ask you. | |
Chef Ghost Chef Ghost |
What is it? Don’t hesitate to ask! | |
Deuce |
Next time I go home, I want to be able to cook for my mother.
But I’ve never done any home cooking before so… What kind of food do you think would make her happy? | |
Chef Ghost Chef Ghost |
Deuce-kun, you’re such a devoted son. The most important thing is to make it with with all of your heart to make your mother happy! | |
Deuce |
All my heart…? Uhh, I was kinda hoping to hear a name of a specific dish or something… | |
Chef Ghost Chef Ghost |
Oh, does nothing come to mind? Then, let’s go talk to “him”. | |
Jamil  |
I wondered why you had suddenly pulled me over, but you’re just wanting to figure out what homemade meals you can make your mother… Hm. | |
Deuce |
Yes. I thought maybe you could give me an advice for what kind of dish I should cook for her? | |
Jamil |
It really isn’t anything to ask others for. When you think about the person you wish to cook for, the idea will appear to you. | |
Deuce |
The person I wish to cook for…? | |
Jamil |
If you think hard, can’t you think of one or two possible dishes?
Maybe like something she made you for your birthday, or something she fed you when you were sick… | |
Deuce |
I would always get some kind of egg dish on my birthday. And I guess even when I was sick and didn’t really have an appetite, I would always be able to stomach her porridge.
Aah… I get it. My mom would always think about what my favorite foods were, or what would be easy to eat at the time and make it for me. So that’s what the chef meant when he said that “the most important thing is to put all your heart into it.” | |
Jamil |
Most likely. If that’s all, I’ll be heading back to my own cooking. | |
Deuce |
Thank you very much! | |
Chef Ghost Chef Ghost |
Jamil-kun, thank you～! Well, sounds like you got some good advice. | |
Deuce |
Yes! I get why my mom would always say “with a pinch of love” whenever she would cook.
I’ll do my best to keep in mind both Jamil-senpai’s and your advice when I make something for my mom! | |
Chef Ghost Chef Ghost |
Good, good, that’s the spirit. Now, let’s start cooking. Today’s dish is Mackerel Curry. | |
Deuce |
Oh, so we can use fish for it too. Whenever I think of curry, I tend to imagine it made out of meat. | |
Chef Ghost Chef Ghost |
We’re going to make this curry with a whole can of mackerel.
The deep flavor of mackerel really goes well with the curry spices～ And it’ll be healthy with an abundance of Omega-3 and Calcium. | |
Deuce |
So, it’s a dish that’s both delicious and good for you. Alright, I’ll definitely learn how to make it! | |
Chef Ghost Chef Ghost |
Okay, first let’s cut the vegetables. Peel the carrots and cut them into larger bite-sized rolled wedges. | |
Deuce |
R-Rolled…?? I’m sorry, could you say that one more time? | |
Chef Ghost Chef Ghost |
Rolled wedges. It is one of the ways to cut up vegetables. I’ll show you how it’s done, so watch closely.
While you roll the carrot… slice into it diagonally with the knife, and cut it into easy to eat pieces, like this. | |
Deuce |
Ah! You’re talking about the “chunky cuts”! | |
Chef Ghost Chef Ghost |
Chunky cuts…? That’s an interesting name for it. | |
Deuce |
That’s what my mother called it. This is the first time I’ve ever heard of rolled wedges. | |
Chef Ghost Chef Ghost |
I can see how that would be easier for a child to understand. Alright then, let’s try to cut them then! | |
Deuce |
Yessir! | |
| chop, chop, chop … | ||
Chef Ghost Chef Ghost |
Ohh! You can slice them quite well. Have you cooked often at home? | |
Deuce |
I’ve helped my mother back home a little bit. I’ve made chunky cuts… I mean, I’ve made rolled wedges before. | |
Chef Ghost Chef Ghost |
Good, good. You seem to have gotten the feel for it, Deuce-kun. I’m starting to look forward to your finished dish!
Now, let’s keep cutting up all the veggies. | |
Deuce |
Yessir!! | |
| ―15 minutes later | ||
Chef Ghost Chef Ghost |
Next, we’ll throw in the stir-fried vegetables and the pieces of canned mackerel into the pot, and start boiling everything. | |
Deuce |
I got it!
Ah… Viper-senpai is fileting a fish. (The way he can handle his knife with no hesitation is so cool…! I want to be able to cook like that too!) Chef, I have a request. Please teach me… how to work with fish! Of course, I don’t mean right away, but… I’d be super happy if I could try it at some point during this program. | |
Chef Ghost Chef Ghost |
Deuce-kun, you’re so eager that I’d be more than happy to teach you! Okay, then let’s slice some fish right now. | |
Deuce |
Eh, really!? | |
Chef Ghost Chef Ghost |
We’ll brown the mackerel and use it as a topping for the curry.
Now, dealing with fish is difficult. I won’t hold anything back, are you prepared? | |
Deuce |
Yes! Thank you very much!! | |

| Master Chef Deuce Version ～
Let’s Make Mackerel Curry 2～ | ||
Deuce |
Oops! The mackerel is slipping!! | |
| slips | ||
Chef Ghost Chef Ghost |
If you lay it out on a cloth or paper, it’ll slip less. Hold the fish tightly with your left hand, and focus. | |
Deuce |
Yessir!! …Whew, this is hard… | |
Chef Ghost Chef Ghost |
Watching you work so hard like this, Deuce-kun, I can only think that your mother will be so overjoyed. | |
Deuce |
That would be nice… Sigh. | |
Chef Ghost Chef Ghost |
? What’s wrong, did something happen…? | |
Deuce |
The other day, my mother came down with a cold, and apparently was bedridden for a while.
But when I learned of it, she had already become well again… I understand that she didn’t want to worry me, but I kinda wanted her to be able to rely on me when she’s not feeling good like that. That’s why next time I go home, I want to cook her food and show her that I’ve become more reliable than I was before! | |
Chef Ghost Chef Ghost |
Aw… You’re such a good student, so devoted to your mother…!!
Alright, then we’ll have to work harder than ever! Next, lay the blade down against the fish and make an incision along its back. | |
Deuce |
Uhh, so I have to firmly grasp the tail, and… slowly slide the knife… Ah!!
Shoot～ It tore off midway. The slice is so thin and floppy. | |
Chef Ghost Chef Ghost |
Everyone’s like this in the beginning! You must be patient. Gently move the blade without using too much of your strength. | |
Deuce |
I understand!! I’ll try once more from where I tore it!! | |
Chef Ghost Chef Ghost |
(He’s a very promising young man. I am sure he’ll learn so much while taking this class!) | |

Sebek  |
Now then, since I have been chosen as an evaluator for this Master Chef program, I am curious as to whose cooking will be presented to me… | |
Deuce |
So, my judge is Sebek. Good to see you. | |
Sebek |
Oh, so you’re the one who made the dish I am to eat. I won’t hold anything back. I’ll make sure to thoroughly examine your creation. | |
Deuce |
Yeah, give me your honest opinion! This is the mackerel curry that I made. | |
| ||
Sebek |
Hm… I give the looks and smell of your dish a passing score. Now, as for the more important factor, taste… | |
| bite, chew, chew … | ||
Sebek |
Mm… This is quite… | |
Deuce |
(He’s just eating without saying much. That’s good. His reaction doesn’t seem to be so bad…) | |
Sebek |
Hm? What is this thin slice of mackerel…? This is an odd way to cut it. | |
Deuce |
Aah… That’s my first attempt at slicing mackerel. It tore while I was trying to filet it.
It’s really difficult to work with fish. This was my first time, so it didn’t really go well at all. | |
Sebek |
Heh, I bet it was. | |
Deuce |
Hey, you’re looking down on me with that laugh just know, aren’t you? You saying you know how to work with fish, Sebek? | |
Sebek |
I’ve gone camping and fishing in rivers with my family. I’m familiar with how to handle fish. | |
Deuce |
Urgh, I can feel how inexperienced I really am…
I’ll continue to try my absolute best, and one day I’ll be able to be great at cooking fish! | |
Chef Ghost Chef Ghost |
That’s right, that’s the spirit! As long as I there are determined students, it also motivates me as your teacher～ | |
Sebek |
If you need any assistance in procuring fish, I can take you fishing if you’d like. | |
Deuce |
Chef, thank you very much for your continued help. And thank you too, Sebek!
Alright, I’ll give it my very best and work harder than I’ve ever done before! | |
