Legend

He searched the woods for a few hours and went around with Ray and Seto, and two Earths and Polo who had joined him along the way, but ended up returning to the settlement without being able to find anything particularly unusual.

Having some edible nuts and fruits in my hand could be called harvesting.

"Mmm, this fruity, sour, but habitual flavor."

Ray squirms happily as he squirts the purple and black spotted fruit the size of his fist.

When I first saw it, I didn't think it was a very edible fruit from its appearance, but when I saw that Ground said he could eat confidently and actually let him eat it in front of Ray, Ray couldn't doubt the word either.

If you actually throw it in your mouth and see it, the refreshing sweetness and sourness - the acidity is stronger - spreads in your mouth.

And Ray, who liked the fruit, has picked about half the fruit that was there.

This was also something that could be done because of the mysteries, and Ground was looking to Ray with envy.

"Grrrrrrrr"

Seto, who was similarly eating fruit next to Ray, snarls his throat with joy.

Despite the sour fruit, it also appeared to be in Seto's mouth.

It was Seto, who was after Aerowing, but unfortunately I couldn't find him. Still, I guess I'm in a good mood because I have the fruit I'm eating right now.

All the way through eating fruit, eventually we arrive before the barrier's junction.

"Mmm!"

There were already five people there, Elaine, Vihera, Marina, Ara and Bühne, and the figure of Yellow, waiting for the arrival of the Rays.

Yet if you see Ray relaxing while eating fruit when he comes at the end, then naturally those who were left are not amused.

Ground's small bow to the marina probably has something to do with following Polo and breaking up along the way.

The loudest Büne about food among them raises a protest the moment he sees Ray.

"Look, still eat this"

Ray releases the same fruit removed from the mysteries to Bühne.

Having received it, Bühne stops the movement for a moment on the appearance of the fruit, but at the next moment he clings to the fruit.

"Mmm!"

The acidity that suddenly strikes my mouth. And slightly...... but certainly the sweetness that exists.

The usually expressionless beaune also gives off an atmosphere that seems a little delightful to the taste of fruit that cannot be imagined from the outside.

"... so the earth meant he broke up with the marina on the way, but you were rendezvous with Ray. After all, they didn't find anything."

Elaine asks as she also receives fruit from Ray.

"Oh. I was wondering if I was going to run into a very ferocious monster. I didn't encounter anything. The only harvest is the fruit."

Everyone else snorts back as well to Ray, who tells face-to-face people like Marina and Vihera, Ara and Yellow as they give away their fruit.

"I was talking to Ray until he got here, and neither one of us ran into the monster.... What does this have to do with Ray treating the World Tree?

"I don't know. It's true that the world tree was activated all at once, but I still don't think it's going to have an immediate impact."

To Elaine's doubt, Marina tilts her neck.

"World Tree...... I've looked around a lot too, but you've never seen a tree that big. There was also a forest near the village where I was born..."

Tell him that much, and shake his head beside him in silence.

Among the kingdoms of Mireana, it was an earth born and raised in a village called Roof, which could be described as rural without complaint, but that's why there were no so many powerful monsters in the nearby woods.

Earth himself had hardly ever been to such a forest, but nevertheless would have seen it from the village had there been such a huge tree as he had seen when he entered the settlement. … but if the world tree is not united, as in this settlement.

"Pfft, I'm glad you said that."

Nearly a hundred years after leaving the settlement, the marina still doesn't mean she abandoned the settlement separately.

That would be obvious considering this settlement went in between when doing business with Gilm or Auduban came all the way to Gilm for help.

That's why I don't feel bad about being praised for my hometown.

Of course, being in a good mood also affects the treatment of the World Tree.

"Anyway, let's go back to the settlement today."

"... okay? It's still a long day, isn't it?

Vihella's gaze is directed towards the sky.

The sun was still high, as the words said, and it seemed like there would be another two hours or so until dusk.

But the marina nods back towards such a vihella.

"Yeah, there's a lot to do in the settlement. We need to see if Grandpa heard from Ragud."

"Uh... yeah. Yes, it is."

Remembering how Optis was willing to mix with the banquet, Vihella also has to convince herself of Marina's concerns.

Marina also understands that her own grandfather, as the elder of this settlement, is doing exactly what needs to be done.

Even if I was taking my wings off on top of that, I didn't have much to blame for it.

Above all, it wouldn't be strange to float somewhat because the world tree has regained its power.

(It's a problem to take off too many wings, though)

Ground opens his mouth so that he agrees with Marina's such thoughts.

"Oh, I agree with Mr. Marina, too. I'm talking about Ray serving Gamellion's meat at dinner today."

The moment the word Gamelion's meat comes out, everyone's gaze gathers to Ray.

As we were talking about the fruit we found on the way home, Ray had spoken of offering Gamelion meat in the course of the story, and I guess Ground remembered that firmly.

That was a testament to the fact that Gamelion's name was known as delicious meat.

With everyone's gaze all around him, Ray eventually opens his mouth like he gave up.

"Okay. Let's celebrate World Tree Therapy with Gamelion meat today."

This is how the gamelion party was supposed to be held.

"Now celebrate the recovery of the world tree...... cheers!

Cheers!

Everyone aligns their voices in the marina's voice and raises the cup they had in their hands.

Alcohols such as ale and wine were in the cups of everyone but Ray and Büne and Ara, but no one blames them even during the day.

Even when it comes to noon, it's true that it's about two hours into the evening, and most importantly, it's a festival throughout this settlement.

Even outside the garden of the house that Elaine and the others are renting, there are banquets everywhere in the settlement.

I can tell you that it was too late for the Rays to have a banquet for the minute they were looking for freaks outside the Ningro settlement.

It's also huge to watch a bunch of banquets in between coming to this house.

At the garden table are a number of dishes made from Gamelion meat served by Ray.

Numerous dishes that would undoubtedly envy anyone who knows the taste of Gamellion meat for such conditions as stir-frying, skewering, simmering, stew and steaming.

Of course gamelion cuisine is the lead, but meat cuisine is not the only one.

There were also salads with plenty of vegetables, dishes soothed with nuts and chopped, and leafy vegetables wrapped in stir-fried gamellions.

At the edge of the table there are also purple and black speckled fruits that Ray has picked...... so far, everyone is tongue-in-cheek at the gamelion dish, which is also today's main dish, and not looking that way.

"Pollululu, pollululu!

A polo swallowed with the meat of Gamelion cheeked up in a mouthful raises a voice of joy.

Exactly what you should describe as a voice of joy. That voice is by no means a great one.

The fact is that Seto and Yellow also sounded happy when they ate gamelion dishes.

Seto was eating a dish baked by applying salt and herbal seeds to a chunk of Gamelion meat beside the table.

Seto's diet is not comparable to that of a normal human being, and for that reason it is a specially prepared dish.

It's a very simple dish, but the amount only exceeds five kg, and Seto is eating it satisfactorily.

The outside is well cooked and the center part is close to raw.

Such a difference in texture seems to be a pleasure to Seto, and he's throbbing at joy.

The meat of the gamelion was fresh because it was in the mysteries, and I could eat it raw without any problems at all.

"Uh, delicious. I had no idea you could eat Gamelion meat at a time like this."

Ground squirming as she carried the skewers to her mouth.

The others were in agreement with the opinion.

"Right. It's quite a luxury to be able to eat Gamelion meat outside of winter. Aristocrats... If that's someone in some position too, you could use magic items or something to eat Gamelion meat besides winter."

The grunting marina reminds me of an aristocratic man who has been telling himself before.

The oral complaint at that time is, why don't we eat some gamellion meat together in the summer? That was the thing.

... I heard later that the magic item that the nobleman had was defective and broke his belly.

"Delicious, Master Elaine"

"Oh. As far as I'm concerned, I really like this stew. The texture that breaks in your mouth is different from the meat around it."

"Right. It goes well with vegetables."

Elaine and Arla also enjoy gamelions on each side.

At the same table, this one also had the appearance of Büne, who was desperately packing gamelion dishes into his own mouth with a small mouth.

Next to such a Bühne, Vihera wipes the sauce on Bühne's cheek and does it.

"Polo, porlululu!

Polo demanding more food for ground.

To such a polo, Ground will give the proper dish to you.

Then Polo was happily mouthing to the dish as he rocked his nine tails.

"Ray, try this dish too. I'm a little confident."

The marina recommends to Ray a dish with stir-fried Gamellion meat in a sauce with a light green hue.

"Wow, that looks delicious. This. Can I eat it?

"Yeah, thanks to Ray for everything he's done for the world tree."

"I get World Tree materials and stuff, and I don't think I have to worry about that much."

With that said, Ray's eyes were firmly oriented towards the meat.

In fact, the smell drifting from the top of the plate stimulates appetite.

Some refreshing smell is included in the intense sauce smell.

Besides the meat, several leafy vegetables were sautéed together, and the colors of green, red and yellow made the dish look more delicious.

"How about this? Yes."

"... well, if you're going to say so much, I'm not going to say no either"

Use a fork and bring the dish into your mouth.

Such a look at Ray and Marina was naturally seen in other faces eating food at the same table.

……

Two people, Elaine and Vihera, give me a look that doesn't seem a little funny.

Still, I guess it's a big deal that I didn't get in the way of the marina here because it's still the day the world tree recovered.

You could let Marina monopolize Ray for about today, he said.

Even though I knew that, I still deserved to think it wasn't funny.

"Ah, haha. I think it's starting to feel a little bit bad."

Ground, who was eating a Gamelion stew, groans as he looks around.

I didn't know why I had such a bad vibe, but I can understand that the vibe is still getting worse.

I can understand that that's not a comfortable event for Earth, but I never spoke of it.

Because I had the feeling that if I said something here, it would probably not be a lot.

"Polo? Pollulu!"

Polo waves Nine Tails, as if to support such an earth.

Fortunately there was no problem here because it is outside, but if it were in the house it would have been quite dusty.

While looking at the polo and thinking about reality escape, he later focused on even eating gamelion dishes.

"Ray, how about this dish or something? Elaine and Vihella worked together on this, didn't they?

You think of something in the gaze that can be directed at you, I'm offering Ray the dish that Elaine and Vihera co-made.

The plate was hung with what appeared to be a sauce made of vegetables, sliced thinly and dived into hot water to put through the fire.

(Shabu-shabu, huh?

Ray's know, dishes that let thinly chopped meat dive into hot water and put it through the fire, put it on the sauce and eat it. Some sauces also include ponzu, sesame seeds, and slightly unusual grated red leaves, and there are a wide variety of other ways to eat.

It's not exactly hot water because I take stock with kelp, etc., but as for the cooking method, it was similar to the dish in front of me right now.

Take the meat with a fork and transport it to your mouth.

Two people, Elaine and Vihella, stared worryingly at the condition.

"Yeah, yummy"

Elaine and Vihera smile happily at the words coming out of Ray's mouth.

... There was no color of jealousy there for the marina that I had felt until a while ago.
