I am coming to the mountain dungeon with the elves today.

In a dungeon orchard that operates in a mountain dungeon, to be exact.

The elves are originally a forest species.

It is the intention of them, who make useful tools in their workshops on a daily basis, to have them bathed and refreshed in the home of their hearts, in the lush forests, once in a while.

They dare to walk in the dungeon orchard, not in the woods around it, because they want to peek into the elves' opinions while they bathe in the forest.

Forest People Elves have the wisdom to use the grace of the forest that has accumulated over the decades.

The ceramics, leather products and glass finishing they make in the workshop are also a gift, and they know a lot about the woods.

Including things I don't know.

If you let them walk in a dungeon orchard like that, they'll come up with some new usage or problem solving ideas?

I thought so.

"... hmm?

Sooner or later, Elron noticed something.

"This tree...... Might be nice..."

and is somehow intrigued by a single tree trunk.

What bothered you so much? And observing, Elron largely took out the knife......

Zaku!

and stuck it in the trunk of the tree.

The blade profoundly pierces the interior of the trunk.

What the hell!?

"Well, watch."

Pulling through the knife and looking at the empty hole for a while......

……

From an empty hole in the tree, a troll and a clear liquid......

"Water came out of the tree!?"

It's sap.

Sap!?

"The amount of sap ejected varies depending on the type of tree, but I saw this as the kind that often comes out. As predicted."

Elron grabbed the leaking sap with his fingertips and offered it to me.

... you mean lick it?

Something feels good... but I got Elron's finger-to-finger sap in my mouth.

"... sweet"

"Right? In the woods, it's a means of taking precious sugars and moisturizing your throat."

I didn't know there was a way to get moisture in the woods like this.

Again, elf wisdom.

... but this sweetness. Like you said somewhere?

"Saint, what kind of tree is this? If you're a tree prone to sap, you have to remember."

"Oh, this tree...!

I looked up and thought to myself.

This maple tree was originally planted for ornamental purposes, not for fruit or building materials, but for leaves that would turn red and beautiful in the fall.

I didn't know that would also help the practical of putting out sap......

So.

Maple......, maple in English.

Liquid exiting the maple.

"Maple syrup!?"

No way, that maple syrup that gets treated like honey patchmon makes this sap an ingredient!?

"What is it, saint?

"Elron! I need your help! I have something to try!!"

Collect the sap from the surrounding maple with Elron and bring it back to the mansion where it has been filled with a leather bag to bring.

I switched it to a pan and zipped it over the fire and simmered it......

Moisture evaporates, leaving other sweetening ingredients to increase concentration.

It became a tropical amber mucus in my memory.

I'll lick it for my fingers.

"Amauuuuuuuuuu!!"

I just boiled it down and increased the concentration, much more intense sweetness than raw sap!

Exactly syrup!

Different worlds maple syrup done here!!

"I didn't expect to be able to make something this good by chance......!

I knew it was important. Elf Forest Wisdom.

There will be a lot to look after in the future.

But now let's get obsessed with taking advantage of the newly acquired maple syrup.

How can I taste maple syrup most deliciously?

".................. Hotcake"

Right.

Hot cake when it comes to maple syrup.

Eat in syrup on a hot hot hot cake.

Would there be any more means to maximize the sweetness of this sap!?

"Ok! Now I'm trying to make hot cakes!!"

The first thing to prepare is the hot cake ingredients!!

So I thought Hatha.

"How do you make hot cake ingredients?

How to make hot cakes.

Mix the hot cake ingredients, milk and eggs, and cook.

"What's with the hot cake?!?"

In the world I was in before, I wasn't even aware because I normally bought hot cake ingredients in the store, but how are the hot cake ingredients and flour different in the first place!?

But I just have to substitute it with flour than I don't know how to make hot cake vegetables!!

I'll put the eggs in!

I'll put the milk in!

I'll put flour in!

I don't think that's enough......, let's add sugar too!

Now let's just bake it.

Drop dough thoroughly mixed in a frying pan.

It doesn't burn, it doesn't rust, and oil stains fall off easily. It's a mana metal frying pan that won't scratch a scratch if you scratch it.

When the surface bubbles up, flip it over with a flyback.

"Ho ho ho ho ho ho!!"

All the best!

Then I saw the baking additions and subtractions and transferred them to a plate......

"Done!?"

I also feel a little underinflated, but otherworldly hotcakes are complete!

While it's warm, sprinkle the maple syrup on the case.

And butter for hot cakes, after all. Dropped a piece. There's this feeling of the wrinkles melting and staining the dough......

"Butter!"

The Spirit of the earth appeared.

I knew when butter got involved, don't be sharp, these kids.

"I smell butter! I cooked butter again!?"

"Your husband's butter dish is super yummy! I definitely want to taste it!

"Butterflies, butterflies, butterflies...!

Me and the spirits of the earth stare, "Sher!" "Butter!" and intimidating matches.

After that......

"Fine, eat"

I was expecting this development.

"Wow! Wow!

"I love your husband -!!"

"Bataouuuuuuuuuuu!!"

The spirits of the earth were glad to wear hot cakes.

"Ume-Ume-Ume!

"It's sweet on the butter -!!"

"It's hometown sweet -!!"

I'm so glad you liked it.

Making different world hotcakes following making different world maple syrup is also a success.

But what I still doubt about the success......

"How are hot cake vegetables and flour different?

This mystery seemed like nothing could be solved in the meantime.
