"Can you eat this banana?"
"It's big, but if Mine-chan is here, I won't eat it alone ~"
Lily and Chappie asked me a question at the end of my conversation with Mr. Banabo.
Well, that's not a question of Chappie.
If you're a [Dwarf] Mine, you sure feel like you can afford it.
However, this banana doesn't seem to be edible like a normal banana.
In any case, they seem to be interested in the contents of this giant banana.
I mean... I feel a little dripping.
Other children seem to have such a feeling and are irritated somehow.
There are kids' expectations, so let's take a look at what's inside!
To be able to use it as a board, the skin of the part inside the curve should be cut cleanly and removed.
I want to use the "Magic Sword Nailing" that is extremely sharp, but I will cut it with the "Blue Steel Sword Impulse" that I use everyday.
... it's pretty stiff.
It's not cut to pieces, but it's sturdy.
It's going to be a little bit of a weapon.
In the past, it was used both as a weapon and as a shield.
I was able to remove it cleanly.
Inside, the white berries are packed tightly.
"Banabo-san, this tastes like potatoes, right?" Can you use it like potatoes? "
“That's right, you can use it in cooking as well. Most of them were boiled and steamed and eaten.”
You can't eat it raw, can you?
"It's not delicious raw."
Several children look disappointed when they hear Mr. Banabo's words.
But if you can think of it as a potato and use it, you should be able to make a delicious meal.
I reassured the children that I was going to make a special delicious meal.
Of course, everyone raised their voices of joy.
The amount of fruit packed in a banana is very large, and I can't immediately predict how much it will cost if it is converted into potatoes, but it is perfect for the situation where a lot of children are waiting.
I gave instructions to the adult members to set the pot in the usual baking area.
There are large pots for cooking that were made to order before, so I put them out and set them in the baking area.
Cut out the banana fruit by chopping it in a circle.
Actually, it is stiff and tight.
I cut the cut in the ring further to make it about the size of a potato.
And then you put it more and more into the pan.
Simmer until tender.
The part of the skin that holds the original banana can be used as a boat.
In order to obtain the fruit, I can also use the skin that has been peeled off, so I think I'll try to make a shield.
If you cut it into three, it's going to be just the right size for the kids to use as a shield for training.
Banana skin shields can be quite interesting.
In fact, if this huge banana peel slipped like a normal-sized banana peel when stepped on, it could be used as an item to turn the monster over...
If I could, it would be a very funny item, but it's not like that.
And... if you think about it, it's a plant material, so you can make a botanical golem.
A giant banana golem... it's going to feel interesting.
I just thought... maybe if I put some legs and a face on the banana boat and turn it into a golem, the kids can ride and play.
It's like a swan boat, like a bird-shaped boat, and it's cute.
A boat that walks on the ground... but it's no longer a boat.
In the meantime, I tried to process the removed piece here.
It was about two meters long, but I divided it into three parts with two shields, and the other part with a wooden sword.
It's just the right size for kids to use in practice.
After being roughly shaped, I finished using the skin of the shark monster like a thorn.
I made it without much sophistication... but because of my [carpentry] skill, it might have been a first-class craftsman's trick.
Grandpa Banabo, who had the same "carpentry" skill, was surprised when he said, "Grimm, you can do anything."
I wonder if the main body of the skin can be turned into a boat like this?
Banabo-san, can you make this into a boat without processing?
“That's right. That's the good part. If you wash the inside clean, the boat is ready. hahaha
"Is that so?" It's nice and easy. It seems to be durable.
"As long as you don't do too much, there won't be any holes." It can be used for decades. "
Grandpa Banabo, who replied, told me that the banana boat in the pond on the farmland has been used for decades.
Well, I haven't been able to get the materials in decades, so maybe it's just a matter of course.
I suddenly thought... it's about two meters, so I feel like I can just lie down and sleep.
It's a bit narrow for turning over.
That's right!
I flashed!
Then, I immediately cleaned the inside of the banana skin.
Next, ropes are installed at both ends of the banana shape.
Set this on a large tree branch in front of the nursery.
Large branches stretch out from side to side as if they were spreading their hands, so I wrap the rope around the right branches.
The hammock is ready!
It's set up to be quite low, so kids can ride and play like a swing.
I tried Lily and Chappie on it.
Place the banana sideways and try to move it back and forth.
Both of them are crouching.
That sounds like a lot of fun.
Whether it was high tension or not, the two of them stood up on the spot.
I think it's hard to strike a balance, but I'm standing in a state of letting go with pleasure.
"It's an amazing trunk..."
I'm twitching, so my trunk doesn't look great.
I mean... I can't recommend that ride, so I'd like you to stop.
Well, that's fine.
I warned the children not to get too close to bump into each other and told them to get on well in turn.
I took turns getting out of my little one.
It's a great queue.
