Legend

The pig that Zozo defeated was to be eaten at lunch today.

With this number of people, there are quite a few who can cook.

... There is no such thing as solid cookware, so Ray used the pan that he removed from the mistering to cook a simple simmering dish, or skewered it in an incinerator and ate it.

If I could have used a kiln of magic items, maybe I could have cooked quite a few dishes.

But there's no way you can cook that elaborately than with a lunch break of only about an hour.

Because those entrusted with stewed dishes were also to finish their work a little early and get ready for lunch.

"Ray, we're done dismantling.... If it's true, I'd rather keep it in the river or something."

If kept in the river, the meat can be cooled and the blood left in the body can be thoroughly shed.

However, there is also the disadvantage of the flavor of meat dropping, and people will know what to do with the area.

Sometimes there is no river in the Trento Forest this time, though it was not necessary to make such a choice.

"Okay. I'll take care of the ingredients, so bury any unnecessary ingredients appropriately."

An adventurer nods at Ray's words, filling holes with unwanted parts of his gut, parts of his fur, hooves, tails, head, etc.

It should be noted that there were several pig furs and fangs who wanted them, so they were negotiating with each of them.

(like pig fur, what do you use it for?

Speaking of fur, I would normally make it something like clothing or protective equipment.

But the pigs Zozozozo defeated are ordinary animals, not monsters.

It was quite huge, but it is inferior to the kind of leather armor made from monster leather than it is to being an animal.

You don't use it in battle, you use it as a regular outfit? I thought so, but then I don't normally mind clothing.

(Could it be for cold protection?... Not yet, though, spring)

Nevertheless, in any case, more than in winter, we really need the kind of cold protection equipment.

Ray didn't know exactly how warm the cold protection made of pig fur was, but there was still a good chance that it might be.

Most importantly, Ray wears a dragon robe, so he won't need cold gear at that point.

"Zozo, you caught the pig, so have a good lunch."

Ray calls out to Zozo, who keeps him close to himself.

Zozo probably didn't understand Ray's words like that, but he still figured out he was praised. I praise Ray deeply.

Time passes when we're having such an exchange, and eventually it's nearly noon.

The adventurer, who was finishing his morning job early, used ray's handed ingredients to simmer with plenty of pork meat...... no, he was making soup and had aromas around that stimulated his appetite.

Some bellies sound like a hunger complaint...

"Ray, it's a little early, but let's do it at noon. I can't help but be hungry when it smells good."

One of the crooks tells Ray that.

If you're in the category of some chamber of commerce, it's well established that it's time for a meal.

But most of us are here with adventurers. … although some knights and soldiers are disciplined.

Most of all, knights and soldiers can't basically live a regular life if they go to battlefield.

That's why Ray and the others, who lost the temptation to cook pork, will have a little earlier lunch break than usual.

Nevertheless, I'm already done with what can be called the morning norm.

Still, in the field where we are working on the additions, we are craving a little quicker and a little more building materials, which is why we really wanted the work done as quickly as possible, though.

We both knew that, but we're tired of working day after day.

Especially since for some reason only in this forest range of Trent, the Green Man and the Lizardman transfer over and over again, so too is their mental depletion.

While logging trees, be careful that if anything happens, you can act immediately.

I know it comes with an escort, but if you ask me if I can be completely relieved, the answer is no.

If it is the Green Man who has metastasized, he also knows that there is no problem.

Its presence, dear, is even under a good impression from its contrast with Lizardman.

But if you're a Lizardman, it's not the story.

Some of the ladders were about to be attacked by a transferred Lizardman.

I am confident in my power as a fighter, but I was not confident that I would survive Lizardman against me if it was only a power in a normal life, and if it was still a life-threatening battle to the extent of a quarrel.

Not to mention the Zozo that Ray is able to follow, because some Lizardmans think of it as a superior or rare species, and they also see it as present, which is unnecessarily what I think.

Beyond working under such stress, I also needed to do something a little uncommon, like this one, once in a while, to relieve stress.

I guess they instinctively knew about it, and Ray could have predicted the area again, so sometimes Zozo just knocked down the pig and decided to have a little extravagant meal.

"Whoa, delicious this. Did pork meat taste so good? I thought it smelled better."

"You owe that to the spices Ray provided. As you would have said, pork has a strong odor.... If you're a better cook than me, you can cook something that turns that smell into a palate."

The man who cooked the food tells him so.

I thought some of them would be humbled to say it that way, but I'm pretty sure Ray's spices actually made the flavor of the dish a step up.

Because I know that, the man who cooked tried to say something, but Ray shows in his attitude to shake his neck to the side and not say anything to the man.

This time, I seasoned it to relieve stress, but if they seeded it here, they might want me to cook it after tomorrow... and serve ingredients and spices.

That means Ray shook his head sideways.

"If you eat so much delicious food, you'll have to work hard in the afternoon."

"Oh.... if you're just going to cut more trees, why don't you increase the number of birds?... Look, we're here to make some money for Gilm because Ray picked us up, too."

"For once, I hear you're collecting extras. I don't think there's any way to get Ray to go, so he's on his carriage to Gilm right now."

A knight pinches his mouth like that in a conversation.

"With Seto, we can quickly carry a large quantity in the Seto cage, because so far, Seto is the only one who can detect the Greens and Lizardmans transferring. You can't imitate that."

The words are strongly persuasive, and there is no one to dispute them.

The twins, too, would certainly make the job easier if there were more people, but it is still clear which should be given priority over the fact that the absence of Ray and Seto would be more dangerous in the sense of safety.

"If that's the case, do I have to convince you?...... why don't you just let Ray do the tree cutting?

"Idiot. If we do, we'll lose our jobs."

"Uh... there you go. Ray cut trees and we cut branches and stuff."

The others who were listening to the words said something with a subtle look on their face, but ended up closing their mouths without speaking.

I guess that story isn't very interesting because I'm proud of my job as a pimp.

... Although, in the sense of purely logging, Ray can cut it nicer.

It won't be necessary to think about whether waving an axe down the trunk of a tree over and over again or just flashing a death size is a beautiful cut.

I suppose I also got a subtle look because I know it.

Nevertheless, Ray was never wrong when he first said he should cut trees.

More than the construction of the Guild is in full swing, the alchemists' magical treatment of the wood is not enough.

If there is a large quantity of building materials, there is no problem, but I have now used a certain amount of it immediately, and it is in the condition of whether or not the supply can keep pace with demand.

Because of the problems of this transfer in such circumstances, supply was completely unable to keep pace with demand.

"In the meantime, we'll have to do something about it in the present situation until a new one arrives in Gilm. If there's really nothing I can do, I'll cut the trees."

"It'll help. But even if the new Gilm comes, it won't be a quick use. First of all, we need to get used to the trees growing in Trento Forest, and other than that, we need to get used to the Greens and Lizardmans transferring.... but we're not used to the latter yet."

Different.

That's what the other crocodiles who were drinking pork soup around said and laughed.

Even ourselves, who have actually done quite a bit of work in the Trent Forest, are nervous about the metastasis, so I guess we didn't immediately think we'd get used to it, even if the new one came.

(I think it depends on people around here.)

I didn't actually put it in my mouth, but Ray thinks so while eating pork meat.

It is not surprising that some people are quick to get used to the Trent Forest, while others are hard to get used to it.

It was not strange whether some of them were told that it was the Green Man or the Lizardman who would transfer, or concentrate on their work as a squirrel, regardless at all.

If I could, as Ray, I would like many of them to come to Gilm, but those who have a job where they live with a standing arm will not come all the way to Gilm.

Most of all, I can't imagine anyone coming from a meek-hearted feeling who wants to see the famous guilds directly with their own eyes.

"Once the green people have studied their language, maybe some of them will come to this Trent forest.... There's no reason for Lizardman to live there more than he might transfer. Still, it's not strange to come with us and be in the Trento Forest during the day and grow plants and other winds."

"Uh... yeah. I guess."

Almost everyone in this room now knows that green people have the ability to grow plants.

And given the usefulness of Trent's forest timber, the Green Man's ability to grow it was definitely useful.

… but then the Trent Forest will remain here forever.

Nevertheless, there's no reason for anyone to have any trouble with it more than it is off the street.

Ningro, if you think of the pigs the Rays are eating, it's not strange to be a good hunting ground for hunters.

I can never deny the possibility that a monster will come.

"Um, for now, I can't help but think about the hard stuff right now, and it's a corner dish, so why don't you eat this soup?

When one of the adventurers tells him so, everyone else should concentrate on their meals now, so he pounds his tongue on the soup and the skewers that are then made.

"If you can eat something like this every day, you'll have more fun with this job."

"You can't win this many big pigs every day. Yeah, but you see a lot of deer and stuff like that."

"Huh? Deer? Are you there?"

"He said he was here. Are there other foxes, foxes and ravens? What do you care? There's a lot of animals out there.

Ray nods in a way he's convinced of that voice he hears.

In fact, Ray has seen animal species several times, as well as birds quite a bit.

Until last year, I would say that this is a blessing, given that there were not so many animals and birds in the Trento Forest.

Nevertheless, it is somewhat troubling that more monsters will be targeted at the animal.

(The best thing is that the green people live here and the Lizardmans escort them. The greens don't need food, and if the Lizardmans do, that's what we can do with more animals and stuff....... oh, but can't you fish)

Given Zozo's considerable obsession with fish, it was unfortunate that there were no fish in this Trento forest.

Probably because if there were a river and a fish, Lizardman could have expected to live happily ever after.
