Fushi no Kami: Rebuilding Civilization Starts With a Village

While setting out what to do during our short stay in Ajol village, we quickly moved on to cooking.

The villagers did not ask for help, but started cooking on the expedition alone.

If some of the villagers participate poorly, even if they taste it, the whole village is tingling to the point where they complain that they ate a lot of rice.

First of all, I hope that if you distribute the food fairly today or tomorrow, it will calm you down.

Exceptionally, Miss Squirrel hastily offered to help.

Well, it would be a big problem for her if she were to make it hard for all the people who brought us food support.

I decided to have her join me.

Some of the expeditions are good at cooking.

Especially since some of the soldiers in charge of patrols can always partition the cooking during each camp, nature and its soldiers become masters of outdoor cooking.

Anyone who can't be is simply removed from the cooking department.

Under the orders of the soldier, I and Miss Micah will also participate in the cooking.

I also make food rations for the villagers, so I don't have time to flip back because I'm the boss.

The sun-dried daikon radishes and dried meat are cut into crispy pieces anyway.

Things that taste bad are small anyway, and when I drink them all at once, my stomach swells up. It's a lesson from hard camp training.

"Oh, you're both amazing, right?

Me and Miss Micah cooked side by side, and Miss Sweet Len called out loudly.

I wonder what's amazing.

"After all, it's amazing that you're so smart, but you can cook well. I can't believe we both did that. Will you be able to do so much when you go to the military children's club?

I see. Indeed, our cooking skills are much higher.

I was stroked by a bandit chef.

"Yes, I'll teach you how to cook all the way through."

"A man named Yak Chef, who is also entrusted with the kitchen of the Lords Hall, tells me."

"Hah, it's amazing after all... see you, soldier"

Glenn, who was carrying the ingredients to the envious Lady Sweetie, came rushing to change her bloodline.

"Wait! It would be bad to have all the Sons of the Army with these two. Everyone in sync is in trouble, and perhaps seniors of all generations are in trouble too!

"Really?

Glenn nodded heavily and took out the herbs from the ingredients he was carrying as she leaned her neck.

"I was at a military rally with these two. But keep an eye out."

Glenn puts the herb on the cutting board and holds the knife. [M]

At that moment, me and Miss Micah stopped reflectively.

Glenn, you're cutting differently.

"You have to cut that herb sideways, because it doesn't taste good."

After a few seconds, Glenn put the knife in a solemn manner.

"I can't go any faster than I thought... you know what I'm saying? Sure, I'm not good at cooking, but I'm not very bad at synchronizing."

"I know very well that it's so awesome that I'm obsessed with how to cut it...."

Because the taste changes in such a hassle, I can't help but stick to it.

As a Yak chef, I can't give up this place.

"And of course, these two are smart, but they're special."

"Really?... is that so?"

"That's right. You saw what I taught you in the pantry? There are two of us who know what to do all of a sudden in that situation. I've been taught, and I can finally help."

Ah, Miss Sweetie looks at me with a touching look.

Glenn is somehow better at the reaction. [M]

"Our generation was told by the shrine to be the most powerful Sons of War of all generations, but that's why they're here. I've had a high level since the Sons of the Army started. As soon as I left the Military Sons Association, I was so special that I was assigned to a new department."

"Ah, I thought the person in charge was amazing even though I was young, but is it special? I was wondering if that's what happens when I leave the military children's club."

"Of course, there are only these two. After that, I'll be a normal apprentice, including myself, and I'll be a good rookie."

"Well, then, isn't it really amazing? What makes you so special?

No, I don't know what to say, because it's really soft.

Me and Miss Micah looked at each other as they began to chat with each other.

Looks like you've sort of solved the tension with Miss Squirrel, and for the sake of a smooth relationship between the expedition and the village of Ajol, let's leave this to the young two.

Our nodding eye contact is perfect.

Me and Miss Micah resumed cooking silently.

The next morning, Glenn fell asleep.

Glenn, who was pulled out in front of the head of the Expeditionary Corps, Micah, after a recliner who was going to sleep at breakfast, explained the situation with an apology.

Taken together, it seems that she was with Miss Sweet until late at night.

Even so, I didn't sleep with you or go anywhere colorful.

The city and the Sons of the Army yearned for Miss Sweet Len to talk about her experience.

In response, the Mayka chief handed over his words in front of all the men who stirred up breakfast.

"Keep it up. It would be very helpful if the conductor were friendly to the expedition."

Glenn seemed pleased that you weren't scolded. [M]

Now Glenn decides to have a formal meeting with the village chief's daughter, Miss Suylen.

It sounds like an incredibly relaxing job, but in other words, socializing to get cooperation from local leaders is going to be incredibly stressful.

I will write the report in the latter outfit.

It's not a lie, and socializing in the world is basically like this.

If you have a more advanced discussion, if you have a proper meeting table, you will not be able to speak at all.

Because every move is considered an official point of view.

So dinner parties and dance parties are held as informal meetings.

Before you have a formal meeting seat, have a private, everyday conversation where you can have an exchange of opinions in advance.

Expressed gracefully, it can be said that the meeting proceeds while dancing.

It is also convincing that there is a dance lesson at the military children's meeting.

Of course, even in the village until now, I have mainly talked to Miss Micah, and then I have talked to the great one, but it was just business talk.

Literally speaking, it feels like Glenn went first. [M]

However, before I encourage you to do your job, Glenn needs you to come with me to the woods.

I'm just going to take a look at the shallow areas, so it's good to wear light clothes.

Still, I don't know what's in there, so I'm going to arm each one, and I'm going to take dried meat and hard-boiled bread with me just in case.

I was going to pick up the wild vegetables 10 minutes on foot, but sometimes I found myself in distress.

One step into the woods near Ajol village, I immediately drew Glenn's attention. [M]

"Be prepared to retrieve weapons immediately."

"Okay."

Glenn squeezes his face and grabs his spear instead of his cane, then asks him back.

"What kind of anomaly? I look like a forest with no freaks."

"That's right. Please wait a moment."

I also intuitively learned chills, so I just warned you, and I haven't yet been able to determine exactly what's wrong.

I think it's too cautious, but I don't forget how many times the silent van told me.

A good hunter is a hunter who is too cautious.

"... I see. The forest is unusually dark and too quiet again. I've never seen this forest before, so it's not a definite anomaly."

"Ash says he's uncomfortable, so shut up and be vigilant. Better than getting hurt."

"Thank you very much. I didn't mean to go deep, but let's cut it up in a short time."

Even though it's just a shallow spot in the woods, the two of you will step by step to explore the surroundings.

"Still, it's strange. No sign of pigs or deer, no matter how shallow."

"When you say that, I feel strange, too. The village of Ajol has no hunters in the last few years."

"Yes, there are some small animals and birds..."

No sign of any animals larger than medium. There are no monkeys or bears.

That's why the forest is dark.

Originally, the fruit and sprouts that herbivores are supposed to eat are not eaten and have grown.

In addition to the large trees that cover your head, trees and grass that are about the height of your back grow gloomy and cloud your vision.

This is problematic.

There should be a lot of bugs and small animals, and the soil should be rough.

Rather, it is a miracle now that it is not. Ecosystem is not in a decent state.

"Well, thanks to that, I can get a lot of wild plants in the early summer."

With just a short walk, you'll find herbs and wild vegetables that enrich today's table.

I should have brought a large basket.

At the same time, since the squirrel is likely to be targeted, I set a simple trap with vines around where the shit is dotted.

"Ash, do we have to go that far?

"No matter how much food there is in Ajol Village today, it will not be enough. However....."

At Glenn's suggestion that he's carrying a lot of wild vegetables and turning into a spiritual grass, I stop the crawling trap and stand up.

"I was a little enthusiastic. It reminds me of my rural life, and I have a mission to procure as much food as I can."

I see. Well, I don't think that's a bad thing.

Glenn's bitter smile exposes me to exquisite raw temperatures.

I guess I was so enthusiastic. I still only have about 30 traps for small animals.

"Well, let's pull it up today. I've confirmed that a lot of wild vegetables are native, so why don't you go shopping every day while you're in the village?"

"Then I'll bring another luggage. I can't be alert to anything like this."

Glenn, who is full of vegetables and does not seem to be a very knight apprentice, affirmed it after purely considering the efficiency aspects of his work.

I want to replenish more food.
