“Koko, is this egg your egg?”

If it’s Koko’s egg, it shouldn’t be eaten. After all, who knows what terrible things might happen if someone accidentally eats it?

But Koko didn’t answer and flew up to the roof, where she started sunbathing.

“What’s going on? Is this egg not Koko’s?”

Since Koko didn’t respond, I decided to ask Ermine.

Ermine twitched his nose.

“I don’t know either, but since Koko went up to the roof, maybe it means we can use this egg as an ingredient for now.”

“Really?”

If that’s the case, I’d be happy to have more recipes to try. But is there any chance Koko might attack us the moment we crack the egg open?

“Yeah. So, what are you going to make with this egg?”

Ermine’s round black eyes sparkled with anticipation.

“With butter and milk, you can make an omelet, but…”

An omelet can be made with a regular frying pan, not just through alchemy. I once went through a phase where I was obsessed with making delicious omelets.

“Omelet! I’d love to try it too!”

“Ermine, you’ve never had an omelet before?”

“Yeah. Because I was just born.”

Now that I think about it, Ermine was born from a witch’s letter.

Even though it was just yesterday, I completely forgot.

“Well, I’ll make one for you eventually.”

“I don’t want to wait! I want it now.”

“Eh, but…”

If I can get milk, it seems like I could make butter. I wonder if there’s something else that could be used instead.

“If you look in the book, it should have the recipe.”

“Is there a page for omelets?”

Alchemy books include ingredients and illustrations of the finished product, but I don’t remember seeing a yellow food like an omelet.

“Even if it’s not there initially, if Mei knows how to make it, it will be added to the book.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. So, if we include a lot of foods from both Mei’s world and this one, we’ll be able to make all sorts of things through alchemy!”

“Will the taste be replicated too?”

“Of course. If you make high-quality items, they might taste even better.”

Wow, they could taste even better…

Then I really need to work harder to improve my alchemy skills!

“Oh, and go check the universal seasoning tree from yesterday. There’s milk there.”

“…Huh?”

“Butter and milk are seasonings too, right? So, I made sure they’re usable!”

Milk comes from cows… I thought, but should I just leave Ermine’s misunderstanding as it is?

After all, with milk and eggs, and maybe sugar, we can make not just omelets but pancakes too!

Once I can get proper milk, I’ll confess. But for now, milk please!

“Speaking of seasonings, I’d like sugar and salt too. Even though the universal seasoning might be fine, it would be nice to adjust the flavor depending on the day, you know?”

“Would that taste better?”

Ermine’s adorable eyes twinkled as he tilted his head.

“Yeah. It will taste much better.”

…Hopefully.

“Then I’ll make sure to get those too!”

“Thank you, Ermine!”

Yay!

Now I can enjoy as many sweet treats as I want!

When I went to the universal seasoning tree from yesterday—

There was a gourd about ten times larger than yesterday’s.

When I shook the gourd, it made a sloshing sound.

Gyu… Milk-samaaa!

It’s hereeee!

“Ermine, we can make a delicious omelet with this!”

“Wow. I’m looking forward to it~”

“Leave it to me!”

I have a frying pan, so I could make it, but…

If I have the recipe, maybe I should use the alchemy cauldron instead.

I checked the alchemy book at home—there it is!

“Hmm. One egg, one cup of milk, and universal seasoning. If I put these into the alchemy cauldron, will it taste like the one I made?”

Let’s give it a try.

I put in the ingredients and stirred with the mixing stick.

Swirl, swirl, swirl.

When the mixture no longer felt resistant, I pulled the stick away, and a yellow omelet popped out and landed on a plate next to the cauldron.

“It’s done~♪”

Now, to add ketchup… Wait, there’s no ketchup!

I’m sure there were tomatoes in the garden.

The recipe for ketchup is… one tomato and one cup of water.

I quickly went to the garden, picked some tomatoes, and made ketchup.

Then I poured the freshly made ketchup over the omelet.

“All done~♪”

Enjoy Mei’s special omelet!
