Ihoujin, Dungeon ni Moguru

[04]

"Good morning"

"Oh, good morning."

It's a cold morning. I slept but got up early. Put on your coat, lay down your regres and get out of your tent, and you'll meet the brushed teeth of Zamongrass.

I was thrown out of my toothbrush and was sent over. Receiving it, he notices that it is a torn tree branch rather than a toothbrush. There was such a thing in the Edo era. There is a toothbrush made of pig hair in Lemuria.

Brush your teeth with water from an ice bucket. I could polish more than I thought.

"That saucy woman screams like that. You, don't do it."

I was mistaken for Zamongrass last night.

I don't think it sounds like a shy voice.

"No, I had a common acquaintance and just talked about it."

"Are you an acquaintance of Legre? Did you mean the kid who gave you the" Child of the Stars? "

"Maybe it's the long sword that Schna has?"

I can only associate that much.

"Yes, it looks like a long sword, but it is one of the culturally valuable swords. If you are an adventurer, you will know the Vind Obnacle's" The Three Swords Ardi ". One of the knights who served the founding Hachioji, one of his love swords is the star sword "Hoshi no Son". Not break even if stepped on by a dragon

"Oh, it shattered once."

"Now!"

It's already shattered.

"It's an idiot! It's a sword that didn't hurt even with Lemil steel!"

"Because of the blessing of the god Gladvain, who hunts the dragon at the same time as destroying the weapon, he repaired it."

"Gladvain. Wait ... repair?"

"I'm a Gentile. Well, just a little bit with Gentile technology."

Makina.

However, it was good to be able to fix such a valuable thing. Is the strange strength after restoration related to Erdi?

"You, Gentiles?"

Strange, hostile. Feelings of pity and hatred.

"I've heard of Gladvain now."

With a loud voice, your Majesty comes out of a large tent with a horse.

His Majesty is big, and his horse is big. This horse is a horse that the King of the End of the Century may ride.

"Please explain, Sawyer."

"In other words, Gladvain is a god in Lemuria. My party member Shna has a contract."

Later, the blood of God is flowing to his wife and sister.

"She was originally born in this land. She was a darling of Welsvain, a brave and fearless god like an ancient war god. I heard that she suddenly disappeared, Have you calmed down? "

It is an action following two daughters. I can't talk about her honor.

"There are many gods in Lemuria, but not so beautiful."

"I wanted to see it once"

"I'm going to introduce you.

"Um, let's remember."

Zamongrass advises.

"Your Majesty, this person is a Gentile.

"Forest? It might be, but it's dangerous."

"It's more likely than we'll go in. There's no other way but which way the enemy has pulled the army."

"Um"

What?

"Sawyer gives life"

"Yes, anything."

"Fools are short on supplies, as you can see."

Last night's supper was a small portion of my caught bread and cheese.

"While letting Legres take away enemy supplies, the black elf drastically retreated the army. Even his cunning feet would be painstaking."

Is it impossible to have them separated from the Royal Castle?

This person will fight without any help from his daughter.

"There is a forest northwest of Ashtaria. It is a contraindicated forest that keeps people away for a long time. By contract with the old, no one in this world can enter. However, if you are a Gentile, you can enter."

"I see. I just need to share the food with the forest."

I have some knowledge of wild plants.

If the land is different, the varieties will be different.

"Okay, it's the forest that has kept people away for thousands of years. I don't know what it is. Curiosity sneaks in and no one comes back. I will not forget the vows of the ministry with fools. "

"Yes, your Majesty. Rest assured. Adventurers are fast-moving creatures."

"Um, good."

A rucksack full of knives and hemp bags is given to Zamongrass.

His Majesty orders him to stroke a horse.

"Valcina, protect this man. If you feel danger, escape."

Well, its name.

"Oh, your Majesty. What's the name of that horse?"

"It's the name of a beast woman I missed.

Maybe it's a mother I know.

This land has strange edges.

"I'll go."

"Well, let's run away if you feel danger."

"Yes, then."

When trying to go to the forest, Valsina bites the coat's neck.

"e"

Carried as it was.

"Gi, ya!"

The scenery flows at a terrible speed.

Cold wind pierces the face. I can't open my eyes.

My scream disappears in the strong wind.

Ride through the city, into the withered plains, and soon reach the forest.

I was abandoned and landed on my face. The whole body trembles as I was swung around in the cold and unstable condition of the wind. Some people want to meet and can't meet, but I feel this tremor is different.

"This, this horse brute"

Valsina raises one leg. One hoof is bigger than my head.

"Thank you for carrying"

Valsina steps down.

It was dangerous. I felt the crisis of life. Suddenly, he was breaking his vows.

Aside from the plains, the army retreated. No corpses are left. The wreckage of broken metal creates the loneliness of a rotting plain.

Next, look at the forest.

The sense of incongruity seen from a distance changes into conviction.

The seasonal feeling with this forest and surroundings is different. Lush greens exist deeply. Primitive forests such as rainforests exist. It is not good nature to exist at this temperature.

Go ahead, Valsina poked her back.

It is a blow to the tip of the nose, but it is like a beat.

"Wait, wait, this is a greeting.

Valsina raises one leg. He knows subtly people's words.

I ignored him because he did not progress even if he was playing with him.

Put your hands together and close your eyes.

Spin words to pray.

"My name is Sawyer, an adventurer from a foreign country. I borrow the name of my wife god, Ezus, and speak to my lord of the contraindicated forest, let me hear his voice. I won't be able to enter without forgive me.

I saw it properly, but what about it? He refused before entering. It seems to be a little excuse.

Wait for a while.

Valsina pokes me at my spare time.

"Ah"

Now comes to mind that it has nothing to do with it. Just try it out.

Reaching for the gray sky,

"Agachion!"

call out.

And the name was called and the evil sword ……………………… five minutes later, he couldn't come. right. It's really out of range.

Well wait.

Sufficient progress.

30 minutes have passed.

…………… One hour passed,

Valsina, who had too much spare time, was swung around with a collar. I'll make this a horse someday.

Then

"Hmm?"

I think I heard my voice.

"Horse, did you hear anything?"

Valsina leaves me and goes to the forest.

"Hey"

It's not good to move on, so follow me.

The forest we walked into was a natural paradise.

Trees that are too tall. A mysterious light falling. Mossy dark green, large leaves and fruits full of vitality. Large white mycelial mass. At his feet, the roots were spread all over, and several small streams of water were found. And sweaty warm air. It seems that the plant is full of vitality.

It resembles the picture of a painter, Hiroo Isono, who knew from the package picture of the game.

Powerful nature, but a space where people are hard to live.

As you go through such a situation, your voice comes closer.

A beautiful, clear voice. I was desperately appealing for something.

As Valsina starts running, he desperately follows.

I thought it was a rough horse, but I am trying not to hurt nature.

There was a fawn where I arrived.

The torso is sandwiched between young trees growing in the shape of Y and cannot escape from it. The blood was dripping from the belly to resist.

Valsina, who arrived earlier, communicated with her deer and her nose.

The horse's eyes look at me, "You, somehow"

When approaching with a knife, a fawn screams and rampages.

"How"

Cut the tree with a knife quickly without showing any hostility. However, it cannot be cut even though it is a thin tree. The blade does not stand. Not the fiber density of ordinary wood.

I can't help but Valsina with one trunk and I with the other, open and lower the tree. Finally, a gap was created and the deer was released.

Leave us with the power of a rabbit.

When I thought I would run away, I stopped at the limit of my sight.

Come see the flicker.

In such a case, it is strange to keep an eye on it.

Valsina is grazing on the grass.

Don't look too close because it's a wild animal. Don't be surprised. Wait patiently.

Well, I think it's pointless for the deer.

Valsina pokes me around.

Himself? Is going to be light, but it's like a kick.

Somehow, the deer has returned.

The horse leans on my arm.

"Eh, what?"

I felt like I was going to put my hand out, and when I put my hand out I was spit out the grass that was chewed as "nbe". There is a slight anger, but it's probably telling the deer wound.

Deer also left themselves quietly. Spread the grass on the wound on the belly.

When it's over, the deer bows down several times and heads deep into the forest. I'll follow along as Valsina follows.

Further into the green.

I'm checking the direction, but I'm not confident I can return.

A big river was flowing. A colorful bird is flying. I saw a big snake that I had never seen before.

The canopy of branches and leaves is high in the sky. Is the star seen through the gap an illusion?

A dimension that is clearly different from the outside world.

Feeling like being on another planet.

Follow the deer and horses and walk along the river.

To the back of the fresh green labyrinth.

On the way, I found some edible wild plants. Remember the location firmly.

Going further in the back, a voice saying "Kuku, Kukukukuku". When I thought it was a bird, it was a brown frog. There are a lot in the river. And it's huge. The size of a human head. However, he is dull and cautious. Comes out of the river and hinders our progress. It is in the way.

As he straddled the frog, an unexpected person was waiting.

In an unnaturally open space, an elderly woman elf is alone.

Elves are a long-lived race. The truth is that your body is weakened and dies before you are old. Individuals who lived longer the older they are are quite rare. Even if you estimate lightly, you will be living in thousands of years.

No, why are there more people here?

A deer snuggles up with an old elf.

"In the millennium, you are the eleventh you have been invited to the forest. Gentiles, what purpose did you go to the contraindicated forest?"

"Um, divide the wild plants."

"………………Hmm?"

The old elf has a troubled face.

"If possible, fruit and mushrooms"

"Wait. Here are the treasures and treasures of the Jindai that transcend wisdom. Did you come to seek them?"

I don't need such a thing here. Past power destroys itself. If you have trouble dealing with just the power you have now, can you hold it any more?

"No, I just want to share the food."

"No way, a request to eat one forest?"

"Four people and this big horse alone"

An old elf said, "What are you talking about? ] With a face.

Oops. I forgot courtesy.

"Ah, yes. I work. Whatever I can do. Please share the food in return."

"... wait a moment"

An old elf leaves with a deer.

Well, what does this mean? Will you deceive later? Request for wild plants ...

I can hear such a voice.

For some reason, horses also participate in the consultation. I am out of the net.

An old elf nodded. Looking at the profile, I guess it was beautiful when I was young. Still beautiful.

The consultation between the elf and the animals is over.

"Is food really good?"

"Oh, yes"

"I'm a greedy person. Did you come across a frog on the way? I'm in trouble because there are too many of them. You can't do it, it's poisonous, it's harming other creatures. Get rid of it. If you're successful, give people something to eat. "

"Yes, if that's okay. Can I eat the frog?"

"Did you not hear? Poisoned. You die?"

"There's nothing you need to try before."

"Weird person. Please like it."

"OK"

Frog extermination as promised.

Go to the habitat and catch a frog.

You have to make sure what kind of poison it is. It was good to hear this kind of knowledge from Isola.

Touch the frog skin with the little finger of your left hand. Worst, be prepared to cut it off.

No irritation or itching. There is no feeling of numbness.

It doesn't seem to have poison on the skin.

Then, hold the frog with both hands and make various checks.

It's really quiet. It will be done. However, there is a risk of poison being blown out, so touch it from behind as much as possible.

There are warts all over the body, especially large warts on the edges of the eyes. Pressing it gave a white liquid.

This is poison.

The size is completely different, is this a toad?

It was said that the dead grandfather ate before, but can he go?

"OK"

Remove the hemp bag from the backpack.

Hold the frog's feet full swing and slam the frog's head against a nearby rock.

Make a cut with a knife and peel the skin. I needed some power, but it came off better than I thought. The edible limbs were cut off and placed in a hemp bag.

What about a torso with a still moving heart? Should I fill it?

A deer comes to the side and points to a rock away at the tip of his nose.

A parent and child of a snake were looking at this.

Cut the torso to the size of their mouth. This will put the skin together.

By the way, it is the world of perseverance and physical strength.

Demolish the frog.

Take off your coat and hang it on a horse. Sweat is transmitted from work to the forehead. But there is no wonder and fatigue. They seem to be getting vitality from the forest.

Only large frogs were killed, small ones were left alone.

Despite the poison, it's a really dwarf frog. My friends are being dismantled in front of me and jump around me without worrying.

I got used to it and was able to dismantle the frog quickly. If you have a part-time job to handle frogs, I can get a high salary.

The hemp bag I brought was filled with frog limbs. It has a strong vitality, so it moves in the bag. It's creepy.

I was surprised to see the watch.

Eight hours had passed.

This worries His Majesty that he will not return early.

"Ah"

There are no large frogs. Is this a complete removal? The sense of time is a bit strange. I feel like I've been working for about an hour.

When you notice, there are no deer. There is a horse.

Frog meat is tied to the horse saddle. For three meals a day, for four people, Oh, my Majesty is three people and I think I will have about ten days. The rest depends on what other foods you can get.

I heard the voice of a clear deer.

I felt called and returned to the old elf.

"You really get rid of frogs"

"Yes, yes."

It's an eye to see a weirdo. Why is it so. I just did what I did.

"In the world of war and warriors, what people want is always power. You're the first and last thing you've come to call for wild plants."

"If the serving king is hungry, nothing goes."

Well, the old elf's small voice.

"Are you not the king?"

"I'm an ordinary person. I'm an ordinary adventurer."

"It's weird. If you don't have the king's qualification, you shouldn't go into the forest. It didn't happen for a thousand years.

what the hell?

"There are exceptions to everything. Seekers of wild plants. Pick up the ingredients."

Ingredients near the deer.

"Th-This is!"

Tension rises.

A large amount of wild plants bundled like rolled straw. At a glance, there are spring, nobile, maple, horseradish and garlic. After that, a big mushroom that could be put on a chair.

"Wow!"

And rock salt. There is rock salt like basketball. As mentioned in the old anime, people can't fight without salt. In short, your Majesty can fight.

In the basket woven from grass, there are various things, such as nuts that can be oiled even by lightly rubbing, herbs that can be used as a taste accent, fruits of large akebi, strawberry and apple.

There is more food available. I can't see everything at all.

Load it all on Valsina. Not a big horse for Date. It was a lot of luggage but it didn't budge.

"That would help a lot"

"I'm just right because the frogs were sloppy. I'll ask you again. Are these really good? There are some things that are useful for people to live."

"I'm sorry if I get any more, I'm OK."

I don't have anything past. It's my iron rule.

So it's been good.

"Then go now. If you stay here too long, you will become part of the forest."

"Yes, thank you"

Bow your head and say thank you.

I was worried, but this will help my Majesty.

He looked up at the old elf and found no one there. Instead, a huge tree stands. It is a huge tree that penetrates the heavens.

Lower your head again and leave.

A giant tree and a fawn watched us back forever.

Exit was close.

About a tenth of a distance from the deer.

Just out of the woods just that far away. The body temperature is taken away by the cold at a stretch. I wore a coat over Valsina.

Feel like a fox.

But things remain solid. It doesn't look like a leaf.

I had an unusual experience.

We had one souvenir story about the party. First, it's like your Majesty fights. That wouldn't be believed in your mouth.

On the way back, Valsina will coordinate.

I thought it was a bad horse, but together we had an unusual experience and a friendship was born.

I thought,

"wait"

Valsina bites my neck.

"It's not good"

A scream flows in the wind again.

The load was out of balance because of the load, and the movement was more violent than before.

I was swung around my whole body and returned with dizziness.

"Hmm, it was early ... ??"

Zamongrass looks surprised at us.

What's this reaction.

"Sorry, you're back. Surprised? But anyone under Astalia will experience it."

His Majesty is turning his back and grooming his weapon. Do you do this yourself? It is surprising as a king but correct as a warrior.

As expected, your Majesty.

"That forest is ... stupid"

Turn around and your Majesty has the same reaction.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. It takes time to handle the frogs."

"What do you mean, time hasn't passed since you left?"

By the way, I feel that the height of the day has not changed. It is hard to understand with the gray sky as usual. Did you spend a long time in the forest?

"Did you put it in the forest?"

"Yes, yes."

Unload food from Valsina. The frog's limbs are still moving. Wow, fresh.

"If it were true, the only thing recorded would be the second since Welsvein. What did you get in the woods?"

"So this is it."

Wild vegetables, fruits, nuts, frog meat, and others.

It was pressed by a great sword curtain by Zamongrass.

"In the forest of contraindications, the treasure that changes the human world sleeps when people get it. If you touch it, you will sleep wisdom beyond your knowledge. You have ignored them and have you picked up wild vegetables!"

I don't know.

"No, I mean, you should go get it."

"... this is this"

The old man is terrible.

"I suppose he did so because of his lack of desire. Sawyer, all those who have been under Ashtarian will be turned away to enter that contraindicated forest."

"Zammon glass and regre?"

"Well, turned away. Those who serve the king sometimes have to deal with the king's birth, even in recklessness beyond human territory. Go to the forest, and be turned away, a rite of passage for your minions. "

"So that's it"

Look at the Zamongrass and smile.

I was angry. Irvin, your teacher is young.

"However, those who enter the forest under the guise of fools and come back alive will appear."

"I brought the wild plants."

Zamongrass is tingling.

"I'll prepare the rice."

ignore. Anyway, it's rice.

"Wait, Sawyer. Can I prepare for rice while being a man?"

"I do. I always do it as an adventurer."

Because it is a hobby.

Zamongrass opens his mouth. I thought I could be hateful,

"I don't know how much, but it's better than Legre. That dish is a dimension you don't want to call a dish."

He defended it unexpectedly.

"Legret, that's a lot."

His Majesty also remembers and hates his face. Thanks to Legre, my cooking hurdle has dropped.

Rent cookware from the tent.

As for the fire, there is a bonfire containing warm charcoal.

First, get ready.

Rinse the frog meat with water from the well. I was careful not to get the poison, but sometimes it happened.

After washing everything, I drove everything in a large pot and put the shaved rock salt and water. I also added some herbs that I didn't understand. Leave the meat for a while.

Wild plants that need to be lysed are also placed in another pot and exposed to water.

There are so many types, so I'm not sure what to cook. It's a luxury problem.

Place the oily nut on a frying pan and crush it. It's a rough way, but I got more oil than I thought. Can the fruit itself be eaten if fried? Also consider removing it later.

Wash and chop the garlic.

Put in a frying pan, heat and fry slowly. This technique is familiar.

When the oil smells, remove the frog meat soaked in salt water.

Looking again, it looks like a big chicken wing.

Cook over high heat and fry.

Good smell. I baked it on both sides just enough to burn it.

Tasting ... I ate frogs for the first time, but it seems like a bird, as is commonly said.

The meat odor is erased by the garlic. The taste is light. I guess it would be nice to stew it, but I have no time. Sharpen the rock salt, bite the appropriate herbs and mix to make a seasoning. It's simple, but is this a good seasoning?

A taste again.

Other frog meat is also baked.

At the same time, make a garnish in another frying pan. We chop dodeca mushroom and horseradish and fry salt. Later, rub the wild vegetables that are likely to be raw with salt and pass them through the hot water gently. Quench with water and add fruit.

The dish on which the dishes were placed seemed expensive. One, five gold coins.

The dishes were arranged because Zamongrass prepared the table.

Since they are outdoors and the temperature is high, they will eat them immediately.

"Your Majesty, fried fried garlic fried with mushrooms, spicy salt grilled, contraindicated forest wild vegetables and fruits."

"... I guess frogs have been the only fools in Astalia's history."

"Apart from the taste, there are nutrients and calories, so please eat before cooling."

"Your Majesty, your efforts"

The nearby Zamongrass has a tough face.

Her Majesty prepared and uttered a frog.

Bite together with the bone.

"I can't eat it normally."

"Thank you"

"No, it's delicious"

Seriously put out. It's nice to see, but I have to make two more meals, including my own.

"What is the rice?"

As I was shaking the frying pan, a regre without a hail came up.

"What are you making?"

Hold on to your back while biting the nearby apple

"Don't disturb. Put on your seat."

"Eh, yeah."

I stared and released.

Your Majesty's fast eating speed makes it hard to make two for you.

"Although I was the first knight of St. Liridias, I guess that was the only frog I ate."

Zamongrass complains about eating frogs.

I don't have a bad face.

"A frog, I used to eat it a long time ago ... That's delicious. It might be the best frog I've ever eaten."

It was popular with Legre.

Eat these people.

Especially His Majesty eats. Three adventurers eat. In other words, about six people of a normal human.

Anyway, it's fun to help people. The opponent is a very strong person, and he is a king who suits his hobby.

It is at the end of the meal that you can make your own because you are eaten from where you made it.

"I'm happy, Sawyer. Ever since you've been full with a treat?"

"Thank you words, thanks."

Your Majesty is pleased.

Even though they said they had no supplies, they all seem to be drinking together.

Frog meat, not worse than expected. The thighs are particularly delicious. I wanted to put the curry powder and fry it. I don't want to feed my wife and sister.

"by the way"

And shake the topic of food.

"Your Majesty, the left continent of wheat has been distributed to Lemuria. How do you eat it here? Because you still bake it into bread?"

"Let's stretch it like a cloth, cut it out with the pattern of the flag, and boil it with the soup."

"I see, in Lemuria, I eat it in thin threads."

"Don't eat it oddly. That wheat is called left continental wheat, but it's not grown on this land. As you can see, this continent is cold. The warm months are short, but the southern continent. The Dilllands archipelago, located in the waters of the Pacific Ocean, is a good place to stay in summer, rich in nature and crops, but the people who live there are stunningly vulnerable to war.

In other words, left continental wheat is their gift. The proof is in the form of a flag.

Dilllands buys peace from the kings with wheat, but recently kings, especially those who have joined the black elf, often return the wheat untouched. I was wondering what the excess wheat was like, but it seems to be distributed to other continents. ''

"A lot is flowing. Does the food form change in some places?"

"It's strange"

His Majesty fills the skin with akebi and drinks sake.

"What do black elfs feed their partners? Poyoyamo, who makes shady food through magic tricks and brainwashes them?"

"Hey, I forgot, but I stole it in their tent. Maybe it's food."

Legre catches supplies behind the chair while dropping a chair, and retrieves an object.

Silver and cylindrical,

"you're kidding"

It was canned.

Is it made of iron coated with tin? It is tightly closed.

It can be manufactured with this different world forging technique, but has no idea.

It may have been made by accident, but the opponent came out of this is a mysterious power called the Black Elf.

The ones who can simply associate me are like me. I saw the precedent. An old man from the same country had become a god by planting trees.

"My Majesty, how many guys follow the Black Elf?"

"There are 24 flags of the kings of the left continent, of which 14 follow the black elf, 6 follow the Elysium. The army is gusseted by the kings, but at least 300,000 troops. What?

But the scale is different.

I don't want to think, but Gentiles may be leading the army. Or are you serving like me?

Zamongrass supplemented the explanation.

"There are many kings, but there are four kings in the world. Dugan-Stelch Holobi Robbs, the brave king who also makes a name on Wind Obnique.

La Daga, the youngest and bravest king.

The mercenary king Gershpar Johann Weimaffe Ktortorch Loumen.

And the secretary of Welsvain, the embodiment of the ultimate of Take, the jockey who treats a giant horse like a monster like a half body. Waving the spear's arm will disperse the army, and holding the sword will leave the dragon. The rare king of the next generation, La Dynesleif Riog Ashtalia. These four great kings haven't joined anyone. ''

"It's true, your Majesty"

I applauded her Majesty's title.

Is it good for me to be like a me, albeit temporarily?

"Well, the fool's country is what you see!"

Your Majesty's masochistic joke.

I'm sorry, I can't laugh. Even regre has an ugly face.

"Sammongrass, can you cut this? Only the upper part"

"Oh"

Offer a can.

A flash of silver, like an afterimage, has passed. I could only see where the sword fits in the sheath.

The upper part of the can comes off. It is a beautiful cut.

The contents are pink meat similar to spam. smell.

"A food, is it?"

His Majesty's reaction is worse than he saw frog meat.

Pick up the chunks of meat with a fork and bring it to your mouth.

"... first ..."

It was not good.

The taste was anxious in various ways.
