Your POV:

Megumin: Iris, it ran towards your side ! Be careful not to let it pinch your fingers, alright ?!

Iris: I understand, please leave it to me! Ah, there is another lobster between the gaps of the rocks !

"Can someone tell me what we're doing right now ? Or rather what these two are trying to pull ?"

Kazuma: I'm... Just as lost as you, honestly...

"We're not even a day away from Elroad, why are the kids looking for lobsters in a river ?!"

Kazuma: Why are you asking me ?

Darkness: Megumin, this lobster is a bit small, do we really want to eat it ? Isn't this still a baby lobster ? Ah, owowowow...

Megumin: That's not a baby lobster. Since it doesn't live in the wide ocean, but in a narrow river, this lobster won't grow any bigger. Oh, you can't escape ! With this, I've gotten four !

Aqua: Hey, I have something I want to say...

"Don't bother. they're catching lobsters, not crayfishes, alright ? It's the high-class cuisine that is suitable for a princess, "lobsters". Got it ?"

Kazuma: I was a bit worried when she talked about something she'd eat back at her village...

Megumin: Maybe it's because not a lot of people pass through here, but we got a big catch ! Tonight's dinner will be a feast !

Iris: This is the first time I've gathered food ingredients ! So there are also ways like this to enjoy cooking !

Darkness: M- Megumin, can you get this thing off me... At some point, it bit on my toe...

"... I mean, crayfishes are good. Not really a luxurious ingredient, but still..."

Aqua: Since the royalty had put a variety of ingredients in the fridge, it would be a waste not to use them. I'll go prepare something.

Kazuma: Don't run away on your own. If you do, then the burden of each and every one of us increases.

Megumin: Now Iris, pay attention alright ? Allow me to show you my skill in cooking as well !

Iris: Yes, I'll be in your care !

Megumin: Usually, you'd let the crayfish sit in water for one night to expunge the dirt, but since these ones were caught in a fairly clean river, there wouldn't be any issues if we eat it as it is.

Iris: I will study hard !

Megumin: Now then, first, we'll remove pungent smell of the cray- Lobster. To do that, we'll submerge it in sake... Uhm, ah, this should be fine.

"... ... Kazuma, I think this is quite the pricey sake, isn't it ?"

Kazuma: Yes, and I believe remembering someone was looking forward to drinking it.

Megumin: If you leave it here like this for a while, the pungent smell will be removed and replaced with a fine aroma; Now then, during this time, we'll prepare for the next step...

Iris: Ah, I did everything on my own, didn't I ? as for preparations, this should be fine, then...

Megumin: Kazuma has been on cooking duty all the time recently, you see ? Occasionally, I want everyone to eat the food I cooked myself. Alright Iris, help divide the dishes ok ?
