Legend

A line of rays marching through the Trent Forest.

But I still don't see the fairy.

The sun is quite blocked by the branches growing out of the trees and I don't know where the sun is currently... Still, I think it's time for Ray to be close to noon because of his hunger.

"I'm getting hungry, and why don't we have lunch? Walking all the way through Trent's woods like this, fairies won't come out that easy."

"Hmm. I agree with Ray. How's Ara?

"Just like Master Elaine said. I'm a little hungry, too."

Elaine and Arla also have no objection to Ray's words, but rather to lunch in a place where the trees that were a little further apart were widening.

"So, what do you want for lunch?

"That's what Elaine wants to eat.... you want something to eat?

"Okay, baked udon"

"That's unusual."

He lived at the marina's house, and he knew about baked udon, naturally, because he was Elaine, who often ate meals with the Rays.

Still like Elaine...... that's still somewhat uncomfortable for Ray that a being to be hailed as a luxurious beauty eats the food of a common man named Baked Udon.

Nevertheless, Elaine also lives normally, so she eats a variety of dishes.

It's not like the only dish you actually eat at the marina's house is an aristocratic sumptuous dish.

There are many dishes that Ray buys and marinas make that are common.

... In the first place, Elaine is a courtier of the Duke of Keller and at the same time runs the battlefield as a princess general.

Such as the dishes served on the battlefield, that is not the kind of meal that nobles eat.

No, it is true that some aristocratic nobles take cooks, even on the battlefield, and consider their meals to be the dishes they deserve, too.

But there's no way Elaine would do that.

"So, why are you suddenly baking udon? No, I'm good because it's delicious."

With that said, Ray takes the baked udon out of the mistering for a number of people - five for Seto - and passes it along with the fork.

This grilled udon is a grilled udon that Ray used to eat and was excellent.

Pretty laborious substitute from how to cook it.

Such baked udon, where the first carefully boiled and washed udon with water is cooked over an iron plate, making it easier to skip excess moisture while burning and tangling sauces and noodles.

Other detailed tasks have been carried out, such as steaming and grilling with alcohol when solving the roasted noodles, or hanging the sauce only on the noodles rather than the meat or vegetables when involving the sauce, and then stirring with the meat or vegetables, which greatly affects the ability to do so as a result, resulting in a flavour that does not allow other followers as baked udons.

"Baked udon would be characteristic of this appetite-stimulating scent?

"Well, that's"

The smell of the sauce burning over the iron plate stimulates the appetite to no greater extent.

... In fact, the sauce is not the same as the sauce or the baked udon in Japan... More specifically, than the sauce used in the baked noodles, the smell I'm used to smelling at summer festivals and edge days in Ray's memory is different, but it's definitely still an appetite-stimulating smell.

Also, I'm pretty sure this grilled udon is also slightly uncomfortable because ray is supposed to be soy sauce pie, regardless of the grilled noodles. I have no doubt about it. Still, it was another unmistakable fact that it was delicious enough.

"This scent stimulates appetite. Then, of course, the animals and monsters… If we do well, the fairies might come close with interest"

"I see.... hmm? But do fairies eat something or something? No, well, I don't think it's weird eating something more than being a creature."

I can't predict the sight of the fairies Ray knows eating something.

I can convince you if you tell me you're eating nuts, and I can convince you if you tell me you're drinking morning dew.

But... that's just an image from before, and given the fairies we encountered on the Seremouth Plains, there's something I'm not convinced of.

That's why Ray couldn't deny being drawn to the smell of baked udon and being told that fairies might come.

Besides, I've already served baked udon in front of me, and Ray can't put up with hunger again any more than I have in front of me a dish that smells like stimulating that appetite.

"In the meantime, do you want some?... If you get hungry and can't deal with fairy pranks, that's not going to be the way it goes."

Tell him so, Ray wraps the baked udon around it with a fork like pasta and carries it in his mouth.

The texture of the udon mochi and the grilled eyes are fragrant.

Teethy texture of leafy vegetables or firm flavour of meat.

Without complaining to anyone, it was definitely a first-class dish as baked udon.

(If I had bonito and green seaweed or something, it would taste better.... I can't help thinking about that here. If you go to the sea, even if it's not bonito itself, there could be similar ingredients)

Ray would have been able to spread that too if he knew how to make bonito.

But Hate and Ray have no idea how to make bonito.

When I was in Japan, I saw it boiled on TV... or steamed, but that's all.

Should I boil it and dry it in a well-ventilated place?

Though I thought so, I don't think that's all I can make bonito.

It would be exquisite to rot.

That's why Ray understood there was nothing he could do about it in the present situation.

(Oh, but you also saw a baking festival in something. Can you cook a baking bar?... No, I feel like that would just be a grilled fish...)

With that doubt, Ray eats baked udon.

Aromatic aroma that drifts around.

Udon and meat, vegetables… While enjoying the flavors on them, Ray checks to see what's going on around him.

Isn't there a fairy somewhere in the Trento Forest that comes close to the smell of baked udon?

That's what I'm thinking.

"Are you there?

"You're not here."

To Ara's words, Ray tells her regrettably.

"Gru......"

Seto also rattles his throat as he agrees with Ray's words.

It's not just Ray, naturally Seto was looking for a fairy figure while eating baked udon, but he can't find it.

"The fairies are just as curious as Anastasia. I can't get used to sniffing... and if I smell it stimulating my appetite, I can come for it."

How did you make blue seaweed?

Ray whining with that in mind, but if Anastasia were here, what the hell did she think?

Anastasia also fully understands that she has a strong curiosity… no, she is moved by curiosity.

But still, it wasn't strange to argue that the curiosity I have is never the same as a fairy if I tried anastasia.

"I thought the fairy was coming... if you're not coming, let's finish the meal quickly and find the fairy again"

You could have a meal break if you were supposed to, but in the current situation, when it comes to looking for fairies, there's nothing particularly clueless about it, you just walk around the Trent Forest on Seto's back.

Elaine probably decided she didn't need a meal break more than just looking around without doing anything in particular on Seto's back.

In fact, Ray isn't against that kind of Elaine opinion either.

There's no particular reason to rush to do it - it's urgent to find a fairy - but above all, I didn't think there was a particular problem without a particularly holiday-like meal break.

"Though, you're a little unexpected. As Elaine first thought, I thought you'd be absolutely attracted to the smell of baked udon."

"Right. Neither do I deny that.... That's why I suggested it."

Even for Elaine, the smell of baked udon is very appealing.

... at least not the kind of dish that comes out at a party between nobles like Elaine hates.

"... it looks like the fairy didn't come, but the wolf did. Unlike monsters like Darrawolf, it's a normal wolf."

Ray groans unfortunately from the signs of approaching and, above all, the appearance of it visible from among the trees.

"There's Seto, but there's a regular wolf coming?

It was a surprise Elaine, but Ray also makes me want to agree with that word.

If it were you, you wouldn't come close to yourself in front of someone who's overwhelmingly different from you: Seto if you're a normal animal or monster.

On the contrary, if I knew Seto was here, I would just get away with it.

Some of them, like goblins, can't detect the character of their opponents, but as far as Ray knows, wolves would be animals, but monsters, but they usually escape.

Sometimes, as in Darrawolf, as a result of Ray's attack on a hidden spot, he comes running upside down.

(Oh, but Darrawolf? Could that wolf have anything to do with Darrawolf? So Darrawolf is dead, so you think he's trying to attack us with revenge or something?)

I question that, but when I look at the wolves I see, I understand that it's probably a mistake to have something to do with Darrawolf.

Because the nearby pack of wolves seemed thin and thin from afar.

Such a bunch of wolves, as the expression bones and skins deserve.

If you're that hungry and smell the scent that stimulates your grilled udon appetite, it's not a strange story to come under the reign of hunger like the dragonias that Ray fought in the other world.

(Well, I can't deny the possibility that Darrawolf only fed himself and didn't feed his wolves at all)

Either way, a bunch of wolves are approaching us... and that's definitely approaching for raiding purposes too.

"What do we do?

Elaine looks at the lean, thin wolf and asks Ray a little confused.

If the enemy strikes, Elaine naturally fights more than she is a warrior.

That's the same for Ara.

But... the problem in this case is that the wolves are weak and thin enough to think that they might die not so far away without the Rays fighting.

Killing wolves attacking you in that state...... as for Ray, it's also true that you don't feel very good.

Of course, I fully understand in the fight against Dragonias that it is troublesome who is being attacked by hunger.

But even with that in mind, I don't think the wolves present at the end of their gaze would be a threat to the Rays.

If this were a monster like Darrawolf, he would have fought for demonic stones and materials, but his opponent is just a wolf.

It is also thin and thin, and I could have expected that the fur's value would not be so high, and now that it is only bone and skin, wolves cannot be expected as meat.

In the first place, the meat of wolves is not unpleasant, but still not delicious.

At least a few steps of meat from a monster with magic was definitely better.

"Oh, when I see that, don't be a little unwilling to kill me.... Elainea, can I do something to feed you? I don't think that wolf would attack us if we weren't hungry."

"Hmm."

You thought Ray's words made sense, too, and Elaine turns her gaze to a bunch of wolves who come packing their time little by little.

And think a little...... eventually, snort.

"Right. I don't want to kill a wolf attacking me to fill my hunger, either, if it's coming at me over there. Moreover, Trento's forests are special, but new ecosystems are emerging. If so, I don't want to imitate it in a meaningless way"

Originally the place itself called Trento Forest was special, and given the Whisp present in its basement, it was only natural that the ecosystem of this forest would be special.

Not to mention that there are lakes of different worlds as adjacent to the Trento Forest, and it is not strange for anything of that lake's creatures to be able to live on earth to come into the Trento Forest and live there.

It was only natural that the Trento forest would become a special ecosystem, beyond being such a soil.

"What about Ara?

"I don't mind either. Exactly, attacking a wolf like that is a bit..."

Ara is the bearer of rigidity, and the weapon is also the axe of a magic item called Power Axe.

What happens if you attack a wolf looking like bone and skin with such a weapon?

That was an event that Ara would have liked to have refrained from if she could too.
