Let’s Make Chicken Noodle Soup #1 ~Sebek ver.~
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	Before the cooking begins, I have something to ask you, Chef.
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Was there something you didn’t understand in my explanations?
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	No, I understand the intent of the Master Chef class. What I want to know are the particulars of the program. Does this assignment include dishes that would be appropriate to serve for late-night meals?
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Yep. The “Chicken Noodle Soup” you’re going to make today would be perfect for that.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	Since it has the term noodle in it, that means it has a pasta base, right? Soup warms your body, and fills your stomach, so not a bad choice. Right! My purpose is set. I will definitely perfect the chicken noodle soup and this time, I’ll be of use to the Young Master!
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Oh my, so you are hoping to make this dish for someone else, rather than yourself, I see.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	That’s right. The other day, my master Malleus-sama came to the breakfast table looking somewhat disheartened. When I asked him whatever was the matter… He told me that he had eaten the meal that Lilia had cooked the night prior.
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	L-LILIA-KUN… YOU MEAN THE ONE WHO KEEPS TAKING THIS MASTER CHEF CLASS, THE ONE I COULD TELL YOU COUNTLESS STORIES OF, THAT LILIA-KUN!? I see… Lilia-kun’s cooking is, how should I say this… It’s looks and tastes are too creative, so…
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	Correct. Lilia-sama’s cooking is too stimulating. It was most likely not suitable for a late-night meal. Next time, I hope to be able to create a meal to satisfy the Young Master, which is why I would like to learn the necessary cooking skills.
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	OK! This Master Chef program is perfect for students just like you, Sebek. I’ll make sure to instruct you properly so that even someone like you with no experience will be able to make something delicious! We can do this together!
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	Yes, thank you.
Kitchen
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Alright, so let’s begin cooking. For the stock, we’ll use granulated consommé.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	When you say “this time,” …Does that mean that there are other ways to make this?
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Yep. There are some people who will create it from scratch, by simmering all the ingredients. While I was alive, I too would spend hours at my pot doing so. To that point, if we use consommé granules, it’ll save us a lot of time! Isn’t that convenient?
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	Hm. I’d like to ask for my own edification… Between consommé that has been made from scratch, and consommé granules, is the difference in taste noticeable?
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Hmmm… Everyone tends to use different ingredients and seasonings, so it’s hard to say definitively that one tastes better than the other. The consommé we will be using today is a very popular item made by a well-known brand. The flavor will be guaranteed to be good.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	I see. So it is not always better to spend more time and energy on something, is what you mean. How great it is indeed that even an amateur like myself would be able to bring forth such amazing flavors that have been enjoyed by others for a very long time. This is most certainly a revolutionary item. If you were to have told me that making a consommé from scratch would taste far better, I would have extended this course by countless hours to achieve it, but… With your explanation just now, I am no longer concerned. So please, Chef, I implore you to teach me.
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Ah, I was almost in danger of working so many hours of overtime there for a moment… Alright. Then let’s start by cutting up the ingredients that will go into the soup.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	Those ingredients are chicken, cabbage, carrots, and onions. What will this garlic be used for?
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	We’ll use that to add fragrance to the soup, so mince it well. Everything else should be cut into bite-sized pieces. By the way, have you ever used a knife, Sebek-kun?
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	A knife, hm. If it were a dagger, I am familiar, but… Back home in Briar Valley, my grandfather did not like me entering the kitchen. Therefore, I am not only unfamiliar with kitchen knives, but with other cooking utensils as well.
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	That’s… also pretty excessive. Well, I’m glad that you decided to take this Master Chef course, Sebek-kun. If you’re used to handling blades, then I suppose I have little to worry about when it comes to injuries. We’ll start with the onion. After you peel it and remove the stem and roots, cut it in half lengthwise.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	…Like this?
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Perfect. Honestly, you can cut it whichever way you want, but let’s slice it thin so that it will cook quicker. Place the cross-section you just cut facing down and then cut thin slices along the fiber lines.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	Cut thin slices along the fiber lines―
[chop, chop, chop…CHOPCHOPCHOPCHOPCHOP!]
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Ah…! Stop! Stop! Sebek, stop for a second!
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	?
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Aah… I thought as much. The sizes are all over the place. Sorry, I should have been more specific in my explanation.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	Is there an issue if they are all different sizes?
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	There will be a difference in how fast they cook. Also, the dish will look better if each piece is the same thickness and size. Let’s see how much onion is left… Try to cut the rest of this onion so that they’re about 5 mm thick, each.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	Hm… So it is not just about chopping them up, but I also have to think about how it will fit into the dish properly. If I am to serve this dish to Malleus-sama, I want to be able to have a presentable dish as well as a tasty one. I will take care from here on out. Cut them evenly so as to have the same thickness for each piece, hm. Alright, I will begin once more.
[chop, chop…]
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Good, good, you’re doing great. I can definitely see that you’re very knowledgeable with the blade.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	Heheh, now that I have grasped the essentials, something of this level is trivial.
[chop, chop, chop, chop, chop…]
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Woah, you’re speeding up! Very nice, your knife skills are fantastic.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	HAHAHA! I’LL KEEP GOING AND CHOP UP ALL THE OTHER INGREDIENTS JUST LIKE THIS!!!

Kitchen
Let’s Make Chicken Noodle Soup #2 ~Sebek ver.~
[chop, chop, chop… chop]
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	―Right. With this, all the ingredients have been prepped. I would like to practice the movements a little longer so it becomes second nature, but… I do have the judging after this. I should finish the dish first. Chef, what is the next step?
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Next we’ll cook the ingredients. First, we’ll lightly fry them, then add water to the bot and let it simmer.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	I understand. So I should put all the vegetables I’ve just sliced into the frying pan?
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	No, no. First, you want to sauté the garlic in olive oil.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	Garlic… Ah, that’s right, you explained that at the beginning. So this is when we add that fragrance, I see. There is a lot of protocol in cooking…
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	The more you practice, the more natural it will be come. Now, throw the garlic into the frying pan with the olive oil!
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	Ack…! I was taking the utmost care while frying it, yet the onion has become burnt. CHEF, HAVE I FAILED!?
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	We can forgive a little bit of color. It looks like everything is mostly cooked through, so let’s add water.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	Forgivable, is it…? Urk, then it still merits a penalty, then. The burnt parts are where I had cut too thin earlier. So this is what you meant when you said there would be a difference in how fast they would cook.
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	That’s right, it looks like you’re learning from experience, even without me explaining to you.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	Chef, I’ve finished seasoning the soup. This granulated consommé is an amazing creation. Just by adding salt and pepper, the flavor of the soup has grown greater.
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Right? The cooked ingredients are also adding to the flavor as well. Okay, then finally, we’ve gotten to the main ingredient.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	Is that… short pasta in that bag there? You said “noodle,” so I assumed we would be using that thin, long pasta that can be wrapped around a fork.
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Yes, as you say, there are times that long pasta would be used for this soup. However, this time, we’re making a dish that would be good for a late-night meal, so I chose the easy-to-eat short pasta.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	I see. So different pasta would be used for different situations. I’ll take a note of that.
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Fufu… You have such a desire to learn, Sebek-kun. It’s refreshing.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	The bag here says that this pasta can be added to the pasta in its dried state… Is that truly alright?
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Yep. If you allow it to cook in the soup, it doesn’t take any extra time, and the pasta will become more flavorful. It is definitely more than alright.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	Hmph, makes sense.
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	The boiling method and time can differ based on the product, so make sure you always read the instructions like you just did.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	…The time it takes for this pasta to boil is 10 minutes. I need to use 100 grams, which seems to be the whole bag.
[slides pasta into the pot]
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	To make sure the pasta doesn’t stick to the pot, stir it occasionally. Oh but, if you stir it too much, you can break apart the ingredients, so pay careful attention.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	I understand, I’ll be careful. Now that I think of it, I know that there is also such a thing as fresh pasta… How is that different from the dried pasta we just used?
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Probably its ingredients and ease of preservation… Well, I could give many examples, but from the perspective of the person eating the dish, most likely they would say there’s a difference in texture. You look like a strong lad, so maybe once you get a little more used to cooking, you can give using fresh pasta a try.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	I wonder which type of pasta Malleus-sama would like…
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	It all comes down to people’s preferences, after all～ Of course, as a chef, I can change the flavor by using different seasonings or sauces, too.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	Hm… So essentially, as long as I use the right pasta for the dish, I’ll be able to please Malleus-sama greatly. I thank you for that valuable information. I must learn more about how to use the different types of pasta.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	Pour it into the bowl… Alright, the dish is complete, but…
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Come on, Sebek-kun. Hurry and bring the dish to the judge!
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	R-Right…
Cafeteria – Judging Venue
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	So, I see you’re my judge, Jack.
Jack Jack	Sebek…!? I never expected you to take the Master Chef course.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	I simply thought that I would need training in aspects other than martial arts to be the perfect attendant.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	So therefore, this is the Chicken Noodle Soup that I made. I’ll warn you now, I think this is― No, I won’t say any more. Jack, give me your honest opinion.
Jack Jack	[sniff, sniff] …It doesn’t smell terrible. Right, so, I’ll dig in…
[bite, chew, chew, chew…]
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	How is it…?
Jack Jack	How…? It’s neither amazingly delicious, nor so terrible that I’d feel the need to spit it out. It’s just a super ordinary noodle soup.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	This chicken noodle soup is normal, you say…? THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE! THIS SOUP IS MADE UP OF ONIONS OF VARIOUS SIZES AS WELL AS ONIONS THAT ARE BURNT! BEING MADE OF ALL OF THAT, THIS SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE A TERRIBLE DISH REGARDLESS OF WHOMEVER EATS IT!
Jack Jack	Huh!? I don’t get you. I gave you a passing grade, so why’re you complaining? This soup is without a doubt “ordinary.” Accept your judge’s evaluation, Sebek.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	Grrr…! For you to call something like this passing… I cannot understand!
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Ahaha… It’s good of you to have high expectations.
File:Story Sebek Chef.png Sebek Sebek	Honestly, I still don’t comprehend it, but… The assessment will stand as is. I shall accept it earnestly. I know where I still need to improve. Next time, I will create the perfect dish that I will be able to proudly serve to Malleus-sama!
