Loved the art for Asebi, so I’m down; thanks for the chapter(s).

Isekai cook, as a food lover I feel like I'll love this one

 

[shinya78]

Another mostly solid translation, the only glaringly iffy parts I could see are:
1.

なんせ戦場ではルールはないんだど　偉い人が言ってました(nanse senjou de wa rule ha naindato, erai hito ga ittemashita)

which more or less translates to: a wise man once said, "there are no rules in the battlefield"

tl gave us:
the rule is that this isn't a battlefield, that's what the leader said

偉い人(erai hito), roughly put, is one of those "great person" or "person at the top", it could also mean "leader", but it won't work with the context of this sentence

2. The dialogue bubbles about "everyone's colourful hair", and "ending up in a different world" being swapped.

3. The last bubble, being (よろしくお願いします) is in keigo form, which Shuri has been speaking in all this time, whereas Gungrave is speaking in a less formal tone (よろしくな). Shuri is the one speaking there, so instead of using "take care of us" it should have been "take care of me".

This dude's gonna have to feed an entire army by himself.

Hope he gets a sous chef soon.

The same guy who let's a japanese isekai protag give him vigor boosters before banging his wife without questioning it.

Awfully lot of girls in that mercenary troupe. How many won't return after the battle?....

I'm somewhat of a doctor myself, 'if your piss tastes sweet, then you have diabetes'

Yes, trust the unknown stranger during wartime with your food prep. Nothing could possibly go wrong with that.

other than specific dishes i imagine he might focus on soups/stews that can be served to multiple ppl unless there's extra hands during down time to peel potatoes for him or even the mages helping out or so

tbf they are supervising him and unless he's bringing in some disease (tho i assume he had a way to sanitize /wash his hands beforehand), i think it'd be hard to poison ppl and get away with it (tho i'm sure there are similar stories where ppl are surviving/camping on their own)

I used to work as a prep cook in a professional kitchen that did catering events, and you'd be surprised how much work a single skilled cook can do by themselves given time.

I mean, a lot of it has to do with having good knife skills and a robust knife bag, and planning out how you're going to do the work so you're not repeating yourself; for example, I can peel 5 pounds of potatoes or break down a chicken in about 3 minutes. I can do all the prep for a 40 gallon pot of vegetable broth in about 10 minutes, not including the time it takes to boil water, and if the vegetables aren't strained out, it's a pretty solid soup; granted, it has to be cooked for 8 hours to develop flavors, but prep time for things like soups and stews isn't really that high.

The reason I suggested he'd need a sous chef is for variety; a single chef can do one big dish really easily, but if the chef wants to do multiple courses or different dishes to accommodate dietary restrictions, that needs way more time.

Mercenary band? A war? I hope there's a Guts and Griffin archetype in this mercenary band

Random apron out of nowhere

 

[MikeSinner]

So wait... You have been at war for a while now and you have already eaten all the preserved foods, but somehow you still have fresh ingredients, like carrots, onions, butter and milk left over?! You know, things that don't spoil, or grow mold or anything, when left out in the open?
Okay, that makes perfect sense... In an isekai... Maybe?
