The Duke's House, the lord, has a large plot of land.

The main aqueduct runs opposite the main gate of the Duke's Palace, and from there passes through narrow aqueducts that are easy to use for gardens, laundry, and other work, while the narrower aqueducts are designed to eventually flow to sewage.

This time, I was fishing for frogs in the main waterway, but even though I hunted quite a few of them, they were still there.

The level of a single-digit race is going to be interesting. Conversely, if I'm above level 20, I haven't climbed a level while Miffa was up two levels.

Next to me, Erica and Emilia are really enjoying catching these big, stupid frogs. I was surprised to see a different side of Emilia.

Miffa, who's with Ellis behind her, sounds a little boring.

"Mifa, come here. Shall we catch just one mifa?"

I-Is that me!

Huh? Is Mifa as good as Iris at frogs?

"That's right... I don't like it"

"That's right."

"The colors and patterns are creepy."

"There's no need to touch it, so why don't you just try fishing?" I'll help you with that. "

“You want to come with me? Well then, please."

Miffa holds the pole and throws it with her hand next to it.

It came out instantly as a matter of course. Release the hand from the pole at the time of biting and leave it to Miffa alone.

"Wow, Luke, you're pulling me!"

"Put up a pole and pull it up from the waterway!"

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

As soon as the frog stopped swimming and the water resistance disappeared, it was pulled out, but of course the frog that was pulled out forcefully flew over here.

The frog that was flying vigorously flew further back over our heads.

I heard the sound of "Bhikkhu!"

When I saw it, I saw a bigger frog sticking to Ellis's face.

"Ka!!!! Master Luke! What are you doing!!"

Why me? It was Miffa who did it!

"I'm sorry, Iris! [Clean] Look, it's beautiful now!"

I won't forgive you for that! My face is like that, and I have tears in my eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!"

"It's not bad for Miffa-sama... it's all bad for this mischievous prince!"

Ellis said "Prince of Mischief"!

"Ehhh! It's not a prank!" It really happened by accident! If Miffa pulls it out, I'm not doing any calculations like flying over there! "

"Ehhh, Iris, I don't think it's a lie." I'm really sorry. I was the first one, and I couldn't do it as well as Erica and the others. ”

In Miffa's words, Iris, who was in a semi-crying state, also apologized to me if she noticed that her statement was broken.

"Master Luke, I apologize for making such disrespectful remarks about [Prince Prank] earlier!" Please forgive me! "

"No, don't be angry." I was playing a lot of pranks in my own country, but it was really an accident. Don't get me wrong. "

"Yes, I understand that very well. I was too shocked and confused. I'm really sorry for the rumors!"

It must have been really scary. It's more disgusting than scary?

From a girl's point of view, this is exactly what "your hair looks like" looks like... I'm really sorry.

Lara comes over and changes the atmosphere of the venue at the right time.

Luke, oniisan, your level is ten!

"Oh! Congratulations, Lara! Tomorrow we'll go to the temple with Mifa and get a job."

"" Congratulations, Lara-chan! ""

"Yes! Thank you everyone! I'm happy.♪"

If you're dealing with someone you don't know, you'll get the answer you deserve from the Duchess's Lady.

It's already time for dinner, and even if Lara reaches level 10, it'll be fine, so I'll make it this far.

Well then, let's get this over with, shall we?

"" "Yes!" "

But what about this large number of frogs?

"♪Master, you can actually sell that frog for a good price. It's about 3,000 Jennies per dog." It's about 1,000 jennies in skin and 2,000 jennies in meat. "

I wonder if the purchase price is quite high.

What do you do with the skin of a frog?

"Excellent♪waterproofing, very soft and resilient, it is used for shoes and wallets, bags and backpacks, etc. Do you want to process it in the workshop?

Hmm, no, I'll do it this way.



Go to the cabin with the three daughters in the care.

Originally, this cabin was where the gardeners lived.

It's not far from the main residence and it's not that big, so it was a great place to isolate the caregivers to prevent infection.

The gardeners who were in this cabin were delighted to move quickly to a newly built building.

"Hey, you know how to catch frogs, but do you know how to kill them?"

"Huh! Did His Highness Luke catch the frog?"

"Yeah, this is delicious, isn't it? You know how to dismantle it, don't you?"

"Yes....."

Do you regret telling me that the frog is delicious, or are you looking at the maid behind you? You're probably worried that what you're saying is going to get you angry.

♪Exactly. I imagined the master chasing the frog around, and let the prince catch the frog in his own words, thinking, "This will definitely make me angry." "

The maid nodded and sent a sign of approval.

For now, could you try dismantling one of them?

The reason I'm here... is because the gardener lived here and has a small cooking area. The gardeners eat their usual meals in the servants' dining room in the main residence, but they can boil water here when they are hungry or drink tea while they are resting.

The kitchen in the main house is currently used by the cooks to prepare our dinner. So I thought I'd rent the place I saw earlier.

She disassembles the frog while explaining.

"First, I'll wrap the skin around your head and put the incision around it. This skin is elastic and the blade is difficult to penetrate, so please be careful, this work is the most dangerous. Then, if you grab the skin where the incision is put in your hand and pull it towards your torso with full force, the skin will easily peel off."

When I looked at it, it really peeled clean.

Give me another one and I'll try the same next to you.

"Oh! I'm a little strong, but I'm going to clean it up."

"Since this skin can be sold, it is more expensive to sell it cleanly." Once the skin is peeled off, remove the back leg and forefoot. The meat on my hind legs is delicious. ”

I put a knife into the joint between the torso and the foot and cut it off lightly.

"It's bigger than the chicken thigh." I wonder if my forefoot also has wings. "

"That's right, it's like that in terms of size." But the chicken has skin, so it's delicious... the skin of the frog is a bit munchy and elastic, and it's not delicious, so it's all peeled clean like this. The tip of my hand is disgusting, so I'll also cut it off at the joint of my wrist. "

It seems that the skin was not eaten with the texture of rubber.

It is certainly disgusting on the part of the hand where the water is splashed.

"After that, a little meat can be removed from the buttocks, back and around the eyes, but it's not very delicious. And if the fire is bad, it can hurt your stomach, so many people throw it away without eating it.”

"I see... mmh, that's right! I hunted quite a few frogs a while ago, but it's a waste to throw them away, so I'm thinking of selling them. If you sell it without dismantling, the dismantling fee will be deducted, so the value will drop, right? Tomorrow, I'd like the three of you to do the dismantling of the frogs. Can you do that for me?"

The three of them looked at each other and said that they would do it with the permission of their boss's maid.

"There are about 100 of them, so it would be tough, but I will give you all the money from the dismantled skins and meat, so I'll split the money between the three of you."

I thought they'd be happy, but they're all subtle faces.

The♪three of them are permanent slaves, so they can't own property. Everything they get belongs to the Lord. Besides, I'm currently forbidden to leave the room except for my wife's care, so even if I get paid, it's useless. "

"I see... the future of these girls depends on Gail's old man." Is it safe to celebrate Sasha's happiness and free herself from slavery as a reward? ”

Not♪necessarily. Lifelong slavery meant that they were abandoned at their parents' home. They can't go home because they know they'll only be sold again when they get home. Even if you are suddenly released, you will have trouble living where you are tomorrow. "

”Wow, that's a heavy story... that depends on Gail's old man ~”

♪Well, Mrs. Sasha seems to like her daughters, so she won't feel bad.

I can't do this right now.

Lara, Emilia, Erica, why don't you just dismantle it yourself?

"Lara, I want to try!"

"I'm a little..."

"I don't want to dismantle it either."

Emilia and Erica weren't supposed to have any boulders like the dismantling work.

Well then, let's just try Lara.

Remove the one with red, white, yellow, and green thread on the frog's leg from the subspace warehouse.

Lara-chan seemed to be a little tough on her own, and while I was helping her, I managed to peel off the skin and cut off the part of her foot.

I quickly dismantled the other threaded frogs.

”Lara, next time I'm going to use this fork to poke my thighs into a small hole.”

Marinate the sauce in a wooden bowl dish

Sake

Soy sauce

Mirin

• Grated garlic

• Grated ginger

• Honey

You only have pots for tea here, right?

This question was answered by the maid who kept away from me.

“Yes, this was originally a gardener's quarters, but the gardeners took it all to the new quarters when they relocated.”

That's true, too.

Three new frogs, salt and pepper in a small pot, garlic and dried herbs, and rapeseed oil.

"You guys are probably eating dinner already, but I'll leave you some ingredients for dinner." Frying pans and condiments are gifts. ”

"" Thank you, Lord Luke! ""

I was so pleased.

You're old enough to eat meat... I think you're hungry for meat.

After leveling up in frog fishing like this, I returned to the Mansion.

It seemed that the meal was already ready, and the maid who had been waiting for me was angry at the frog fishing.

"Lord Luke, please don't teach your daughter any strange games..."

I know what you're saying, but I'm not going to apologize honestly because I don't want Lara-chan to have fun and everyone to break the good atmosphere.

"What are you talking about? It's rude to play!" This is hunting! It's never a game! It's a very efficient hunt where you get delicious meat and safely raise your race level. Lara, how old are you? "

"Yes! The Race Level is now 10♪"

"I just got you to Race Level 10." I'm going to go to the temple with Lara tomorrow to get a job, so could you arrange for a carriage? ”

"Eh, in just an hour, did Miss Lara reach the level of 10?"

The woman who seemed to be a serious maiden apologized to me for saying "strange play"...

No, I'm sorry!

It's fun... Frog fishing was fun!

What you're saying is more true! I'm really sorry!
