Chapter Seven of Witch Hat Atelier Kitchen.
Summary[edit | edit source]
Qifrey is making new soup stock while considering the pros and cons of the Magic Cookpot... namely the benefit of it keeping food fresh for years on end, at the expense of eventually growing tired of how it tastes and how that necessitates the need to modify how it's used. He also considers how the girls have been experimenting more in the kitchen lately, and adjusting the soups to their own tastes and how that warms his heart. While he begins to prepare new soup stock, Coco requests that the new batch of soup be kept simple, so it's easy to adapt. Happy to comply, Qifrey makes two types of soup: one with a Blaze Bean base, and the other with Shorecumber. Slicing and lightly sauteing Blaze Bean, Chrysanthonion, and garlic and then grinding the mixture into a fine paste, then brings to a boil with water and seasoning. When done, the Blaze Bean Soup is a warm, sweet soup base with a vivid red color. For the other soup, he dices Shorecumber and walnuts and combines them with yogurt and water in a pot to make the Glimmer Green Shorecumber Yogurt Soup: a chilled, salty soup base. Qifrey considers adding olive oil to the Shorecumber soup but holds back, wanting to leave more possibilities open for the girls to adapt the two soups, plus the stew Olruggio made in Chapter 6 (Witch Hat Atelier Kitchen).
A few days later, it's lunchtime and the girls are on their own as Qifrey and Olruggio are out—Qifrey gone shopping, and Olruggio delivering a contraption. They excitedly take this as their chance to make their own soup creations and get started. Tetia is first, mixing some Blaze Bean soup with whipped cream, then slowly pouring her mix into one side of a bowl, and the original Blaze Bean soup into the other side of the bowl to make a Two-Tone Blaze Bean Soup. Agott is next, choosing the cool Shorecumber soup and adding chopped Mountain Apple and a swirl of her very own blend of Erbe Oil to make Fragrant Erbe Yogurt Soup. Richeh only cares about the amount of meat in her food, and chooses a thick, fried cut of bacon with a scoop of Olruggio's Quadryphon and Chrysanthonion stew ladled over it, and topped with melted cheese to make her Meat Lovers' Casserole Au Gratin. Coco struggles with choosing between them, and decides to pick them all. Roasting a Carapace Yam and carefully scooping out three sections from one of the yam halves to make a bowl, she then melts the removed yam into a portion of each of the soups and then pours those soups into the yam bowl to make her Three-Soup Carapace Medley. The other girls stare at her, deciding Coco had broken the rules by choosing all three. The punishment is the Tetia Tax, which is her taking a bite of Coco's food. Coco responds by taking a bite from Tetia's, while Richeh takes a large bite from Agott's soup. Qifrey and Olruggio return home to see the girls enjoying and sharing their food at the kitchen table, and Qifrey once again thinks about how it warms his heart.
