I’m an Adventurer! ~Musou Skill is Plane Magic~
Episode 169: Old Man and Mushroom
Footmen parked carriages in the village's open spaces quickly assembled horse tents. It's a simple tent for frames and roofs, just like you would use at an athletic event. However, the material is square material and linen. We put up a rope instead of a fence to surround the frame, dig a groove around, and finish the cabin. However, there are four horses per carriage and one horse per knight, so you'll need quite a few tents to accommodate them all. Of the carriage's luggage, one is buried in this tent. It will take a long time to complete everything. Thank you very much.
Looks like a much simpler and easier to escape stable, but the horses are smart enough. Another pair of legs go to the river to water the horses and cut the weeds from the surrounding grass. Well, the more you grow up, the more food and beds you prepare, so you don't have to go out of your way to escape into tough nature. It's tight.
Human accommodation is also being prepared. The legs lay blankets under the parked carriage, but the knights sleep in tents. I wondered if the tent would be erected by the people, and the knights themselves were doing the work unexpectedly. Looks like the young knights are watching. I guess this is training, too. In the meantime, the top knights are not resting, but brushing their horses and checking their hooves. That's the field unit, the division of roles is well established.
There are alternating night shifts, so some of the limbs also make simple stone piles for fire. Speaking of summer, it is cold at night in the mountains of the northern middle of the continent. Fire is a must. It can also be used for cooking, but I don't think there are many cases because I bring a magic stove. At best, it will be used for baking.
And prepare the meal. Basically, the food I bring bribes (or not), but if I can afford it, I can procure meat and vegetables in the surrounding mountain forests and enchantments. I don't think it's a problem to get it on your own because it's already in the territory of another country, but there are too many demons and monsters in the first place, so I can't complain about how much I can get. Rather, it would be appreciated if you could miss it.
Normally, a few people would go to the procurement, but this time I'm going to go to Christella alone with Woo and Pee. If you're a knight or a foot that can't strengthen you, there's no such thing as us.
I want everyone else to prepare for our stay. That said, we sleep in or under the carriage, so we're not so prepared for a big deal. In the first place, our carriage was prepared as a simple accommodation.
I took Christella to have her evaluate the edible wild vegetables on a balance magic. In general, I can tell, but there are many poisonous things that look similar in nature. Especially mushrooms. Christella's balance magic, which can tell them apart for the first time, is great for outdoor food procurement.
"Pfft! Dad, hurry up!
Beyond the road leading to the mountain, Pee-chan on Wu's back hurries us. Woo-chan is just pointing his neck at me and waiting for me while he shakes his shippo. These two are really enjoying their journey.
After about two hours of gathering two large deer monsters and mountain vegetables in a plain magic transparent container, everyone was already ready for their stay. The fire is also raising smoke and flames. All I have to do is eat dinner and go to bed.
Pass the wild plants to Samantha, and the deer hang on a large tree in the village. I have already cut my neck and bled out, but there is still blood dripping from the cut. When Kikka carefully pulls it out with fluid manipulation, it finally dismantles. Luca, who holds the cutlass in her hand, peels off the skin with a familiar hand, pulls out her internal organs, and quickly turns it into branch meat. (Kathras) I bought it as a weapon, but it's a very big knife. Well, it looks like I'm using it.
The meat that was removed from the branches and blocked, Agna and Daisy knocked it out. It hasn't gotten so hard yet, but it won't get so hard over time if we break the fibers of the meat in the meantime. It will taste even better tomorrow.
The meat of monsters in this world, with some exceptions, is very delicious. Freshly caught is also the most delicious. I think it has something to do with the magic elements, but we haven't been able to verify it. It's a sensory taste, so it's hard to prove scientifically.
After a while, the monster's flesh becomes stiff and stiff after death. It is this world class to tap it, solve it and eat it. If you put him to sleep, he will be able to solve naturally, but in this world without refrigeration technology, he will be damaged in the meantime. Especially now it's summer, so I can't sleep very well. It stinks when the meat gets damaged. It is also convincing that pepper was treasured in medieval Europe.
That's why meat is the most delicious, hardest, and freshly caught meat in the world. They also distribute it to men's feet and knights, and prepare dinner quickly. That said, I have nothing to do, so I brush Wu and Pea's feathers. I'm putting an iron plate on the magic stove, so I think I'll grill it tonight.
The knights and feet also seem happy to be eating fresh meat. Dried meat and hard bread are usually common at camp. It would be good if it produced a thin soup with dried meat. In normal camps, it seems that even water can't be used in abundance. This time, I got water from the well in the village, and we use the water from Kikka's magic. I would say it's quite a privilege as a camp.
The wild plants have already been handled by Samantha and the children. A bunch of large monkeys are filled with mushrooms that have been stoned and divided into small pieces, as well as natural potato-like potatoes that have been cleanly washed and peeled and cut into large rectangular pieces. Does it itch after all?
There are also creson-like leaves and thin bamboo shoots. Looks like this is going to be a date. Baked barbecues are delicious even with salt.
There were also young sprouts of walrubi-like cedar plants and fuki-based wild vegetables, but they won't come out tonight because it takes time to skip acorns. I didn't know I needed an acupuncture. It's not like vegetables.
"Thank you for waiting, I have prepared the local dish of my village," Dry Mushroom Return Hotpot ", so please enjoy it."
When the aromatic smell of meat began to drift around, the village chief and the old ladies brought some large pots with hot air.
There are various kinds of mushrooms in the pan, large and small, but the ingredients are not so much, and it sounds more like a soup than a pan. Soup with plenty of mushrooms? The soup is dark wheat enough to look like barley tea, and the ingredients are black, brown and beige. I miss the colours, but the fragrance is very good. It has a fragrant, sweet, appetizing scent.
"It is a pot that has been dried various mushrooms harvested in autumn and simmered with the rehydration juice. The seasoning is only salt, so please add spices and other ingredients as you like."
This color without seasoning? How much mushroom extract does it produce?
An old woman pours a mushroom pot into a wooden bowl and distributes it to knights and pedestrians. The village chief handed it over to me. Hmm, that smells good.
"Um, Mr. Beat...."
"Yeah? What's wrong, Christella?
"Well, this mushroom pan...."
Christella talked to me reluctantly. Hmm?... Hmm, hah.... oh, I see.
"Well then, let's go... please"
"Yes, I understand. I'll tell everyone!
Christella, on my instructions, is heading for everybody on a little run.
"Ah, um, is something wrong? Something's wrong with us....."
"No, don't worry about it. I just offered you a little help."
The mayor of the village with a bad complexion is making me look even worse and complaining about my mood. This village chief is cautious. I don't depend on the village as a role model. The delegate needs to be more polished.
"Did you go all the way? Well then, thank you for welcoming us to this village. I'll take it!"
Here you go!
At my command, the knights and legs start eating together. If I were to cook a soup on an iron plate, I'd have a ale! You might think so, but hold on till we get the package. I'll have a drink when I'm done with my job.
Shall I have one too? Start with the mushroom pot. Hmm, even though it has a simple flavor of just salt, the dashi from several kinds of mushrooms create a complex flavor. The mushrooms of the ingredients are also interesting due to their various textures, such as crab, crunch, and pull. Nice dish.
This is followed by authentic teppanyaki. This is a bony callus that makes a good sound. Oh, it's covered in vanilla powder. Deer meat has little fat, but there is a little fat around the stomach. This fat has a unique smell and is a little harsh for people who are not used to it. The meat itself is soft and delicious. It must be a vanilla to cover it. When each bone is held in hand by a rodent, the bitterness and saltiness puncture the tongue, and then the sweetness of the gravy spreads into the mouth. Delicious! I don't smell anything at all. That's a good job, Luca.
U-chan has an extremely rare surface that is lightly roasted and has no vanilla on it. It sounds rough and stiff, but I'm sure you'll be very happy to see the bumpy tail. Calvin's bones are abalone, right? It's pretty stiff, but Woo is amazing.
Pee-chan on the other hand,
"Pee! Mom, that's the big one!
"(Nico)"
Lily is worthy of carrying the baked meat to her mouth. If you peck meat on an iron plate, you'll burn your lips. Lily is making you eat while you smile, but you have to eat it properly, too. It's because I'm growing up.

Looking towards the sudden sound of dryness, one of his legs was pointing his knees to the ground. A bowl is rolling next to that knee.
"Ah, is that...? I need some power....."
The man with legs fell to the ground as it was. Pull-pulls tremble in the "orz" pose with both hands and knees pointing to the ground. Apparently, they're losing their strength. After that, all the other legs and knights who were eating fell down one after the other.
I also took off the bowl and fork that I had in my hand, and poked my butt at the ground with petan. The same goes for Christella and the others.
"This is it!?"
"Did it finally work? Normally, I can't move by the time I drink the juice, but the soldiers in the Kingdom are tough."
"Yes, village chief! What the hell!?"
"... I'm sorry. We had a situation."
The village chief scratched his head... and a bunch of mushy men with weapons came out of the village houses. For the sake of conversation and embrace... no, I knew it.
Looks like this was a bandit village.
