- Vandalieu dried kombu in the clear winter air and weak sunlight with the reborn girl.
- 「Now then, I’ll begin the experiment.」(Vandalieu)
- 「Ai.」(Baby)
- He slowly applied【Withering】on the kombu to remove its water content while also slowly applying【Aging.】
- If he made a mistake it would dry out too much and fall apart, and if he took too long, it would turn into powder, so he needed to be very careful.
- He continued controlling his spells for just a minute while enduring a headache and fever. It turned out perfect, so he stopped his spells and retrieved the dried kombu.
- 「Now then, time to actually taste it.」(Vandalieu)
- 「Ai.」(Baby)
- He threw the kombu into a pot on a magical stove he had found in the ruins and turned the stove on.
- Dashi began to come out steadily.
- He removed the kombu when enough dashi had come out before the water started to boil and scooped some out with a ladle that the blacksmith Datara had made for him. He placed it onto a small plate, cooled it and tasted it.
- 「Mhmm, that’s good dashi.」(Vandalieu)
- Satisfied, he added ingredients like wakame and vegetables and then dissolved miso in it to make miso soup.
- 「It’s turned out well.」(Vandalieu)
- 「Uu, uu.」(Baby)
- 「I think it’s a little too early for you to be drinking miso soup, Pauvina.」(Vandalieu)
- 「Au…」(Pauvina)
- Pauvina… the Live-Dead who had been reborn as a half-Noble Orc seemed dejected, so Vandalieu comforted her as he felt satisfied at having successfully made kombu dashi.
- Applying the【Aging】spell that was originally intended to age living things to kill them through old age to the kombu and drying it, he was able to apply twenty-five years’ worth of drying in a single minute to produce high-quality dried kombu. It was a groundbreaking discovery.
- It was a process that shortened a twenty-five-year-long process to one minute. Incidentally, the reason it was twenty-five years was because Vandalieu remembered that kombu that had been dried and fermented for that long had been treated as a much higher-quality product than normal kombu on Earth. If he recalled, it was because the process changed the umami content in the kombu.
- He had no spell that could confirm whether the umami content had really increased and Vandalieu had never tried miso soup made from high-quality kombu dashi, so there was no denying the possibility that Vandalieu was just making an assumption here.
