## Synopsis

Kurokawa Risa is an ordinary office worker, who has practiced lots of cooking while living alone. One day, she wakes up in another world, with a concerned little spirit hovering over her! She has apparently been transported to a magical, spirit-filled realm by the will of the goddess, and there is no known way for her to go back. She is taken in by a wealthy couple, and they and her new spirit helper treat her with nothing but kindness. There is one problem, however—the food in this magical world is gross! Risa insists on helping the household cooking staff prepare a traditional meal from her world, and it is a big hit with her hosts. Soon Risa knows what she should do in this new world; she should open a cafe and treat everyone to delicious food!

Ayaka Imamura (Game)

She was 22 years old when he first appeared. When she was in Japan, her name was Risa Kurokawa, and after she was transferred to another world, her name was Risa Claude, and her official name was Risa Kurokawa Claude. This is because she was transferred to another world and therefore does not have her family register.When she opened a cafe, she became the adopted daughter of the Claude family.

However, there was one problem in this world that had been transferred. Because of the abundance of raw ingredients, there was no consciousness of "let's eat deliciously", and the food was unpleasant because the cooking method was not developed. One day, after exploding dissatisfaction with her diet, Risa decides to spread the food she learned in her original world to this world, and opens her own cafe as a means of doing so. It was to be. However, she couldn't easily have a store for her, who doesn't even have a family register in another world. There, Gilford and his wife, Anastasia, who were not blessed with children, welcomed Risa as the adopted daughter of the Claude family and opened "Cafe Omusubi" in a corner of an old alley where it was sunny and full of spirits.

At first, she was running the store by herself, but the deliciousness of Risa's baked bread has made her popular, and the number of customers has gradually increased. One day, it was Sieg Brown, who worked for the Knights of the Town and was regarded as the future leader of the Knights, who drove off the drunkenness that came to the store. Risa had previously bumped into Sieg and soiled her uniform, and had given her a homemade cookie to apologize for it, but Sieg realized that the deliciousness of the cookie had the potential of a meal. Takes the opportunity to reunite with Risa and wishes to retire from the Knights and become a disciple of her.

As Sieg served customers, not only bread but also the number of customers who came to eat gradually increased, and one day, harassment began to the store. Her culprit was Helena Chester, who felt that her royal warrant bakery, her own home, was despised by the sale of Risa's bread. Risa, who had been hindering the operation of the original cafe due to the increase in bread sales, accepted Helena's apology, worked for Helena as an employee for damages, and she. He offered to his father the condition that he should deliver bread of the same quality as Cafe Omusubi every day.

The food of Cafe Omusubi spread by word of mouth, and the rumors spread not only in Japan but also in neighboring countries. Under such circumstances, the World Royal Conference, where the royal families of each country meet together, will be held in the Kingdom of Pheriphomia. Neighboring Engeld inquired about whether Cafe Omusubi's food would be served at the dinner party of the conference, and with the prestige of the kingdom, it was decided to make the dinner party successful with Risa's food. Therefore, Risa and Sieg go to the kitchen of the royal palace to teach cooking.

Risa, who succeeded in the dinner party of the World Royal Conference, was asked to become an adviser to the culinary department newly established at the National Academy. After her worries, Risa decides to take over her, but one day she has a discourse with Prince Edgar. This was due to King Ferifomia's brave legs, but as her eyes changed from the public, Risa was unaware of her cooking for herself. Realizes that she has been tied up and gets sick.

While Risa was sick, Risa and Sieg thought about each other more than ever, and realized that they both had more emotions than a master and a disciple towards the other, and after Risa recovered. I started dating as a lover.

Risa and Sieg will have less time to work on rice balls because they will need time to prepare for the establishment of a new cooking department and also as teachers after the course starts. So I needed to hire a new employee, but it's not easy to find. One day, Alain Trail, who was impressed by the skill of making sweets for Sieg at the Royal Palace kitchen, retired after receiving a letter of introduction from the chef Makinis, visited Cafe Omusubi and volunteered to become a disciple of Sieg. At about the same time, Olivia Sharrain, who was there and took care of Risa when she fell ill in the city, visited the store. When Risa hears that she is living a life away from her son after losing her husband, she proposes to work at Cafe Omusubi, and Alain and Olivia are newly added to Cafe Omusubi as employees and it became.

Two years have passed, and the cooking department has finally been established at the National Academy. Risa, Sieg, Keith Delingale, the deputy chef of the royal palace kitchen, and Seville Korn, an animal and botanist, were the instructors, and a class of groping in the dark was started with 20 first-year cooks...

### Abilities

Risa Kurokawa, whose hobby is cooking and eating, worked as an office lady in the city and used her cooking skills for herself and her friends. But one day, suddenly, her cooking skills were expected by the goddess of another world, and she was transferred to another world while she was sleeping. Risa arrived at the Kingdom of Pheriphomia, a world where magic developed instead of civilization. The spirit who came to confirm the transfer of Risa by the order of the goddess (By the way, I could see the spirit because Risa had the skill of spiritual vision that is rare in another world), and the first royal palace magician who discovered Risa with that guidance When Gilford Claude tells her she can't go back to her original world, she gradually becomes accustomed to another world.

## Trivia

* The Goddess *tried* to improve the cooking of her world by introducing utensils and cooking ware used on Earth; however, everyone ignored them.
	+ She was jealous of Earth's gods for having such good food.
	+ She pulled in Risa for no other reason than that she had a enduring spirit; it's VERY lucky that Risa was a foodie who knew recipes.
		- Even Basil feels bad for the Goddess uprooting Risa without so much as asking for her consent. It's ever worse that this was the reason; which Basil knows will make Risa upset.
* All the cooks of the new world think Risa should take pride in her "amazing" cooking; Risa rightfully states that she has zero reason to do so, since EVERYONE on Earth can cook at her level.
	+ Instead, she is disgusted with everyone else's cooking; since it like a child's bad attempt.
		- In fact, during a cook off with a head chef, Risa had to literally choke down his terrible food while he enjoyed her cooking.
* Risa would be willing to go back to Earth if the chance ever came up.
* It's not impossible to believe Risa will introduced Earth holidays along with her cooking; seeing as New Years, Valentine's Day, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas could all provide opportunities.
	+ She celebrated New Years with her staff.
* At times, the story focuses on Risa's adopting into the Claude family; which is vexing for her, as she was born and raised middle class.
	+ This resulted in Risa getting suckered into attending a ball, which she didn't like; too stuffy, and unable to help the cooks. As a result of the King's greed to keep her around, he spread fake rumors the prince was courting her; making Risa's life harder until she and the prince put a stop to it.
* In addition to her café, Risa also helps teach at a newly established cooking school; along with her fellow cook friends. This helps lessen the burden on her in the long run as this ensures more people who can actually cook well; since less people will crow into her cafe.
