"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Seto sounds happy, walking around the oak meat area where the demolition is over, picking it with a little bit of couch. I'm not eating.
Ray, who was already close to evening and thought it might be time to start preparing dinner, calls Seto.
"Seto, I know you're happy, but keep it around. It's time to store it. Caught by the smell of that meat, a monster might come.... No, they're coming."
A man of adventurers who was near the lake suddenly caught a fish jumping out of the water with his bare hands, shrugging.
Ray didn't even know if it was a fish or a monster, but it was about a metre long and its nose area is sharp and pointy like a Rapier.
Fish, half of whose body is like that, made Ray imagine the rhesus tuna he saw on TV when he was in Japan.
Most of all, the appearance of the fish was as elongated as samma and fatty fish.
It was a fish that went into the enemy to see it and attack it with pointy parts.
On top of that, the body is thin, so it's hard to deal with those who are attacked.
... It's hard to do, but if you're an adventurer here, it wasn't hard to deal with.
"Ray, let's bake and eat this fish at dinner today, too"
"Right.... but you didn't expect it to pop out of the water caught by the smell of meat on the ground.... No, well, maybe it's not the smell of meat or anything, and I can't deny the possibility that it came by accident."
Such a fish, like a rhinoceros tuna combined with a stuffed fish, or a samma.
It wasn't in the lake, it was a fish that I thought I deserved to be in the ocean, but if it were a lake in another world, it wouldn't still be strange to have such a special fish.
(In the first place, there was such a huge slime, and there were already lots of glowing, flying jellyfish, lizards like crocodiles)
Is it because those ecologies are this lake, or was that normal where this lake was?
Ray didn't even know that area, but it was an unmistakable fact that he caught another new species of fish.
"Is it okay to say I'm going to eat that fish? You're the first fish I've ever seen, aren't you?
"I've never had a problem eating fish before, and there's no problem around there, is there?
"It's... no, well, it's possible there's no problem"
Even less, I don't want to eat myself.
To Ray, who tells him otherwise, the man of the adventurer who caught the fish speaks the question.
"If you don't want anything else, you don't have to eat Ray. I'll eat this fish."
If you tell me you're going to eat, I can't disagree with that, even as Ray.
If you know it's obviously poisonous, I can tell you how to eat it.
But no fish has ever been poisoned among the fish caught from the lake.
Given that, aren't there any species of fish living in the lake that are poisonous?
"Hmmm...... for once, eat carefully? Our job is only to escort the Tower of Birth. More than that, I can't move with poison. If that happens, it's a lot of trouble."
"I know, I know. If anything happens, I'll take care of it right away, so don't worry."
Are you sure you're okay with me telling you that at ease? I don't think so, Ray, but that adventurer is also the person who was turned by the escort here as a trustworthy opponent from the Alliance.
If so, naturally, it is only natural that we are able to deal with it immediately, even if something happens, and I would reconsider whether we should not have to worry about the area.
"So, Ray. What are we gonna do for dinner today? I don't want to eat that fish, by the way. Look at that, that nose. You're like a rapist, aren't you? I'm going to eat that dangerous fish a lot."
"There's one around. … and it's a bit of a problem to decide whether to just eat or not on the outside"
If it's just about appearance, there are many deep-sea fish species that should be described as grotesque.
Ankou and the like, which was also a favorite for Ray, would be typical of that.
If anyone who doesn't know anything sees Ankou, it's not very good, but it doesn't look delicious.... but I guess Ankou spread as delicious because some people still ate it.
In addition, there are countries that hate octopuses that are eaten in Japan, and overseas as as devilfish because of their appearance, and they won't want to eat catfish and eels because of their appearance.
In that sense, Ray was against deciding whether to eat or not just by appearance.
... Because if you ask me if I want to eat fish with unknown ingredients without checking them out, the answer is no.
"Well, if you say you want to eat, why don't you just eat the guy who wants to? So if there's nothing wrong with it, we can eat it, too. And if you can't... Well, you're an adventurer here, so you'll have the potion kind, so I don't think it's gonna matter."
If you're an adventurer enough to come here, it's not strange to have a fairly high ranking potion.
If so, it was Ray's expectation that it wouldn't matter if it was about some poison.
... Although it was also significant that many other adventurers wanted to try new fish and seemed to think so.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Heading to Ray, Seto joyfully rings his throat and looks at the oak meat.
From how Seto looked like that, I knew what Ray was expecting too.
"Are you sure about this?
"Gru!"
To Ray's words, Seto squeaks cheerfully.
"Ray. What's Seto saying?
Even if Ray and Seto are able to communicate with each other, no one else will know that.
That's why I had to ask Ray directly to find out what Ray and Seto were talking about.
"Seto said at dinner today that I could use the oak meat you guys got me.... I guess we all wanted to eat Ceto because it's oak meat in the corner, not just eating it ourselves"
"Heh... Seto..."
The adventurer man, hearing the circumstances from Ray, turns his surprise gaze to Ceto.
For a man, Seto thought he would never give up on food.
In fact, Seto is greedy when it comes to food because he's been able to fully understand it since we started living here together.
Why did such a ceto suddenly give up the oak meat?
Even if you doubt that, it's not strange.
Most importantly, I don't think it's particularly complicated if I try it on Ray.
As I said earlier, it would simply be delicious if we all ate it.
Seto definitely feels twice as strongly about the act of eating, but at the same time he understands how delicious it is to eat with others.
When Ray explains that again, the adventurer who hears it snorts like that.
... Oak meat is meat that is often eaten by adventurers.
So, in the sense that it's easy to eat, thank you very much.
"Well, that's baking and eating oak meat today, and simmering and oaking oak meat.... I feel like I'm a little short on oak meat dishes for making it. Oh, and like eating vegetables and stuff properly."
Some of the adventurers have an unpleasant look on Ray's words.
Some adventurers underestimate their diet, but they may be of that kind.
Even the person who is turned from the guild to the escort of the Tower of Birth probably doesn't particularly care about the area.
In Ray's case, knowledge of things such as nutritional balance was gained when he was in Japan.
Most of all, it is not about the details of which vegetables are nutritious and how much to take… It is about the knowledge that if you eat meat, you should eat the vegetables accordingly.
Even in that knowledge, I know enough that you need to eat vegetables.
I guess some adventurers here were told by their parents to eat vegetables when they were little, but if they lived this way away from their parents as they do today, many would eat things like just their favorite dishes.
Of course, some of them eat vegetables properly or prefer vegetables.
Anyway, some of them did not honestly nod to the word to eat Ray's vegetables as well.
Most importantly, Ray is not going to say anything to these people about eating vegetables more firmly.
For whoever is here is already alone as an adventurer… and on the contrary, he is here as an arm-writer.
If so, nowhere is it necessary for Ray to say this.
... By the way, in Ray's case, the marina uses vegetables accordingly when cooking, so it doesn't result in a lack of vegetables or anything like that.
"Well, that's what I got Seto's permission for, and I'm going to cook the meat lavishly first! Prepare the fire!
Following Ray's words, the adventurers who were on the spot begin to prepare for the fire.
... No, the adventurers weren't the only ones who started preparing for the bonfire.
Zozo, who heard Ray's words, gave instructions to the other Lizardmans to start helping them prepare for the burning.
The move is that we've lived together quite a bit, and we can work with adventurers even if the words don't make sense.
Around here, I should say, just fine.
Ray will also quickly collect firewood while he watches and get dinner ready.
If that's how it's prepared, the gaze of expectations of the Lizardmans, who heard today's meal was oak meat with interpreters from Adventurers and Zozo, is directed at Ray.
(Ugh... that's all the orcs, that's not enough at all. Well, this is how Seto decided to treat everyone. Then can I get it out, too)
Judging so, Ray removes Gamelion's meat from the mysteries.
The meat of an already treated gamelion, naturally only looking at that meat, does not know what animal or monster meat it is.
The Lizardmans will be especially so.
But... naturally, not the adventurers here.
You can't miss that meat you've seen so many times before.
"Hey, Ray. Could it be..."
In things like fear, one of the adventurers asks.
To such an adventurer, Ray nods naturally.
"Oh. It's Gamelion's meat. It's rare that you can eat raw gamelion meat this season, not dried meat or salted meat, right?
"Naturally!
Man yelling at Ray's words.
But that seems to have been a similar thought for the other adventurers, and to Ray... no, keep your gaze on the flesh of Gamelion that Ray has.
Winter is basically the only time Gamelion can be captured.
And now the season is spring...... no, it's already summer for more than half, and whatever gamelion meat I've made into a preserved meal, I don't have the first chance to eat raw gamelion meat.
What makes it possible is Ray's mysterious holding.
The adventurers here have always been able to eat warm freshly made dishes and have kept them in their favor.
It's not such a strange story to have fresh gamelion meat coming out of it just for such ray mistering.
Still, it was only natural to be surprised to see Gamelion's meat in front of him like this.
"With this number of people, that amount of oak is definitely not enough. That's why I decided to serve meat, too."
"So the meat of Gamelion..."
"Well, the... see. I have a lot of handouts."
If you don't, Ray responds to the words of the adventurer who tells you so to mislead something.
Anyway, there's a lot of gamelion meat in Ray's mysteries.
That's the massive, if not already dismantled.
This Gamelion meat was obtained a few years ago in a dungeon made during the Gamelion season.
I also sold it to the guild to some extent, but still a lot of meat was stored in Ray's mysteries.
It was that meat that Ray put out this time...... the adventurers who saw it raise their voice of joy.
I guess I never thought I'd be able to eat Gamelion's meat at this time soon, summer.
... Ray nodded satisfied with what those adventurers looked like, but he looks at Seto.
Maybe I was looking forward to eating all the oak meat because I was unhappy that it disappeared with the impact of Gamelion's meat.
But... Ray saw Seto happy to eat Gamelion meat just like all the other adventurers.
