Lily's Perspective

"Hah, it's a hassle...."

She is walking along the road with a big sigh.

During the meeting the other day, I received a little attention from the lord, including my brother, because my grades had dropped.

Well, I know, but honestly, I want to live a slow life.

It is not safe to go out for adventures and other things that are necessary.

Thinking so, I feel a little envious of Kyo's life.

A self-sufficient monster cultivation life. I feel the same day when I wake up and the same day when I sleep.

Speaking of work, it is a field work, it is also for living, and the monsters that I raised become various food. That's rewarding.

Maybe it was because I sympathized with his life that Atashi went to him more than necessary.

Nevertheless, it is true that the grades have dropped recently because of Kew. I don't want to be bothered by anything else, so I would like to do an activity to evaluate here.

Do you really think we should take down the monster? Killing monsters unnecessarily makes me feel better.

Atashi, who was walking in front of him, ran into someone who was coming out of John's Restaurant.

"Just now."

Why is he here? With such a question in mind, Atashi remembers and is convinced of the upcoming dining room contest next month.

"Lily, do you know where there are the oldest and biggest trees around here?

That's what Keo always asks with a hot tone.

"Old trees? Well, there's an entrant tree in the back of the tree sea. Maybe that's the oldest and biggest tree in the region."

"Ent! You can count on that! By the way, how's Ent's temper?

"It's peaceful. Ent is a wise man in the woods rather than a monster. They won't fight back unless we attack. There's a lot of talk about saving people who got lost in the woods. No adventurer is going to attack the entrance unless it's too late."

I can't eat anything more, I add.

Many plant-type monsters can taste their roots and fruits.

The fruit produced by the killer plant, the mandragola, and so on.

But Ent is not. There is hardly anything in return for defeating it. But...

"I see, rather than danger, is it favorable? That's more and more convenient. All right! Lily, show me to my entrant right now!

"Hmm?! From now on?"

When he heard about it, Kew rather drove him down to the woods and pulled his balls.

Did you hear what I said? I told you that I can't eat entrants and I can't make them eat anything.

However, because his ideas were different from those of the athletes, perhaps there was something about it, and the athletes somehow had expectations and curiosity about it, and realized that Kyo was leading the way to the place where the entrant was.

Heh heh heh, I see. I'm not the one who does all the funny stuff. I have lived for thousands of years, but this is probably the first time someone like you has made a strange request. Whatever you want. "

"Thank you! Dear Ent!!

In front of me, Ent, a huge living tree, laughed joyfully, and there was a butterfly with his head down against it.

I was listening to Kyo's request together, but I didn't really understand it.

Is that what you can do? However, my question is that I am working hard.

Eventually, when I think it's done, I can smile confidently at the athletes who still have question marks.

"Well, look, I'll show you the results within a month."

That was the number of days it took for the mashtake to mature.

"Wow... what is this...? Is this really a mashtake...?

"It's incredibly fragrant. Even though I haven't cooked anything yet, it smells of luxury from the material itself!

Kew's chest stretched as he didn't tell her how he felt before he saw Mina.

No, but this is a really good level of chest tightening.

"Honestly, the odds of success were half the same, but I'm glad it worked. Perhaps this is the only luxury mashed takeout in the world, an entrance without pine mushrooms!

Entoke. Yes, at that time, he planted the fungus of the mashtake not on the Entoke tree, but on the ground near its root.

Mushroom-type monsters are mushroom-type, and they originate from the carcasses of organisms and trees.

It is a benefit monster created by nature to accelerate the decomposition of so-called carcasses.

For this reason, they themselves grow up and act autonomously, but are basically harmless.

They only have the instinct to fight back in self-defense if humans attack.

But as I said, their role is to promote carcasses of animals and plants, monsters that emerge from them.

It is often mistaken that mashtakes appear from the ground, but that is impossible.

So at first, I didn't know why he was buried on the ground.

After a while, when I went to see that entrant, this mashtake was growing from near the root.

"Once upon a time, I watched the mushrooms, and I knew that there were two types of mushrooms: rotting bacteria and fungal fungi. I think all the mushrooms in this world are rotting bacteria. However, mushrooms grow into various kinds of mushrooms depending on the environment. Well, I thought maybe I could get some fungi, but it was a splendid bingo!

I used a word I didn't quite know about rotting bacteria and fungi, but perhaps rotting bacteria are mushrooms that come from animal and plant carcasses?

That means fungal fungi.

"Matsutake mushrooms are fungi, remember watching the show. It's called the King of Taste, isn't it, Matsutake? At that time, I was impressed by the honesty. Anyway, Mina. Use this to cook!

Kew spreads the killer plant fruit, Jack Au Lantern, Devil Carrot, and cockroach eggs, meat, and plenty of ingredients on the table, including entrails.

"Yeah, it's good! Killer Plant Pickled Fruit Sauce of this Cocatrice Meat is as good as ever! Above all, this entertainment tastes better than I imagined!

After that, Mina cooked the entrails and tried and mistakenly served them as suckers and baked baked baked baked baked baked baked baked baked baked baked baked baked baked baked baked goods.

The flavor is so intense that it cannot be compared to ordinary mashed take-up, but the most important difference is this flavor.

The moment I sniffed the smell, I suddenly wanted to eat all the dishes that had been served.

Until now, I thought the taste was the first thing about cooking, but I didn't think it would change to the taste by stimulating the sense of smell so much.

The meat and eggs I ate a few times taste delicious.

"Thank you! But it's all thanks to Kyo! This is no longer a draw on those luxury materials!

"Oh, yeah! Now Mina-chan's victory is assured!

"No"

The two were delighted to say so, but Atashi dared to pinch his mouth.

Because I know. This will never beat him.

"I'm gonna lose like this. Next Canteen Games. I can't beat the gourmet brave."
