Chapter 19 – Katsuo Udon for Dinner

Asuka's POV

 I decided to cook some katsuo udon for dinner so my masters would eat something not fine or expensive-looking. So, when we arrived at home, me and Niko rested a bit, before we headed to the kitchen at 7:22 p.m. to cook the said dish. At that time, the household staff took care of putting and sorting out the groceries.

 There we started to prepare making that dish. We also invited some of the cooking staff so they could see how we do it. We made it step by step in making that dish, including the cooking part as the cooking staff observes closely. Akihito and Aki are waiting at the dining room, anticipating for the meal.

 Later, at 7:41 p.m., me and Niko are done cooking, and we served the dish to our masters. The cooking staff then came with us to the dining room. Upon seeing that, they were a bit stunned to see such a delicious, but cheap dish.

 "What is this?"

 "It's not fine-looking, isn't it?"

I then smiled meekly. "Yes, it's called katsuo udon, one of our favorite dishes."

Akihito and Aki then glanced at us. "Does your parents cook that?"

 "Yes, they did," Niko responded.

 "I see. You two, please sit down."

Me and Niko did so and sat down in the opposite side of the table.

After that, we all do a prayer gesture. "Thanks for the food."

We then grabbed our chopsticks and began getting some of that hot, delicious katsuo udon.

Akihito and Aki then taste it, and they were enamored by it because they had been eating fine food almost all their lives.

 "Wow, this is so good."

 "The flavors really exploded in my tongue!"

 "So, how was it?" I asked.

They then looked at me and Niko. "It was so good. Did you add something to it? You know, spices?"

 "Oh, yes, we did."

 "Spices are essential to any dish," added Niko.

 "Okay then."

 "Do you want us to cook more cheap dishes in the future?" Niko asked them.

 "Sure thing," Akihito answered back.

 "We're willing to try them," Aki added.

I then saw that the household staff are very amazed by the katsuo udon made by me and Niko-chan.
