"Mm... mmm...?
From the feeling of a sudden awakening of consciousness, Ray understands that he was asleep at some point.
But my head worked to that extent, and even if I'm still asleep a little more, I'll try to sleep again that Marina will come wake me sooner or later... half... no, still seventy percent of me doubt it in my sleeping head.
The feeling of the futon and pillows is different from the usual.
If this were something else, I wouldn't have noticed such discomfort.
However, in this sleeping situation, it was enough to notice that the place where the skin was touching was different than usual.
If you notice there in that 30% of the awake part, Ray's head and the sleeping part inside will also wake up suddenly... eventually you open your eyes and see where you are currently.
"Oh, with that said, you were coming to the Devil's Forest safe house. You fell asleep."
I'll take my pocket watch out of mystering to see if it's time, but fortunately it's still noon or something.
They let me on a black snake and moved around, and I haven't confirmed exactly what time I arrived at this safe house, but still, from what I feel right now, it would mean I was asleep around an hour.
"Well, actually, it has to be noon the next day"
Whimpering, Ray decided on his own that would not be the first.
Exactly because I thought that if I slept well enough, there would come a hungry ceto.
I guess today is still my first day than it hasn't, I think.
If today was the second day, that would be what Ray would have regretted so much.
"I can't help it if I keep doing this to Seto..."
Do you want to go see him?
That's what Ray tried to say. Ray's gaze stops him moving with a painting hung on the wall.
The painting is a painting of twelve people in one gate of Zeppael.
I was reincarnated into this world... or possessed by my present body, only I had a great deal of clutter of knowledge.
That's when I saw this painting, and I checked myself out of the Demon Forest for a few years.
I saw quite a bit of this world called Elgin and learned the common sense of this world.
Sometimes it's called out of common sense even though it's still not enough.
Still, I saw, heard, and found out a lot about this world.
There is also a lot of information about Zeppyre Gate in that information.
It's a little overwhelming, but there's no doubt that this Zeppyre Gate had no small impact on this world called Elgin.
With that in mind, there was something to think of in Ray, who once again saw the painting with the faces of a gate of Zeppyre.
(Do you want to take this painting? It would definitely be treated as first-level material - or historical material - and)
I didn't think so, but this painting is also one of the legacies left by Zeppyre Gate.
There are multiple such legacies.
Ray's mysteries, dragon robes, and Slapenil shoes...... other magic items such as rigid bracelets used by Seto can also be described as heritage.
Isn't that why you should keep this painting in this bedroom?
Yes, Ray thinks so.
Or maybe I could have thought more seriously about taking this painting if it was some kind of magic item and it had special effects.
But I don't even need to do that if I think about the current situation.
It is a legacy of Zeppael's Gate, but I shall decide so, if only I could let this lair sleep slowly.
"In the meantime, two nights and three days from today."
When he speaks that way to the painting on the wall, Ray gets out of his bedroom this time.
Then we go down the aisle and eventually arrive in the room where we created Ceto with warcraft.
(Signs of Seto... it's in there. What have you been doing for an hour or so?
Ray looked inside the room with such questions...
"Uh... yeah. Is it the same thing to do with all the lords?"
At the end of Ray's gaze, there was a figure of Seto sleeping round the floor.
As far as I can tell, something in particular… it doesn't mean I'm sleeping in some kind of trap, it just seems like I'm sleepy so I usually sleep.
I mean, he was asleep for the same reason Ray was asleep in his bedroom.
"... Gru?
And did the sleeping Seto hear or feel signs of Ray?
Either way, when I wake up from being round and see Ray... I sound my throat in a happy way.
"I was asleep. What do I say, but Seto was still asleep happily."
"Gru!"
Seto getting up with his throat ringing.
And when he comes to Ray's side, he rubs his face with joy.
Ray opens his mouth as he strokes the twitching ceto.
"I was asleep, too, and Seto was asleep. Having slept that way didn't have any problems at all, which means, after all, the junction that was covering this lair is still in effect. As a base, there's no more."
"Grrrrrrrrrr!"
To Ray's words, Seto squeals with joy.
Seto would also have been in favour of using the place where he was born as a base.
Ray also figured out how Seto felt like that again, so stroking Seto looking happy reminds me of him being hungry.
When I checked my time on my pocket watch, I remembered it was already close to noon...
"It's a memorial to our arrival in this safe house. Why don't you use that cow's meat for a little extravagant lunch?
"Grrrrrrrrrr!"
To Ray's words, you remember the taste of the meat you ate yesterday, Seto sounds his throat gladly.
"Then where do you cook...... garden or outside. Because there are boundaries, you won't find them in monsters or anything like that."
If you really want to be safe, you should cook here, naturally.
But this building is a safe haven for Zeppyre Gate.
If you think you might use it again when something happens, I don't want to get dirty in the building if I can.
(Most of all, even if it gets dirty, it's about this building, so I might clean it up or something on my own.... No, you should still stop it. In case there is.)
If you badly imitate here and thereby damage this building and automatically clean it, or otherwise cease to have a variety of effects, you can't take it back.
Especially the latter... I don't know if it has any effect other than cleaning, but if you think that this was the safe house of the Zeppyre Gate, where Ray's body rested, and there was a magic formation to use warcraft, it's not surprising that there were all sorts of tricks for when something happened.
That's as if this building itself is a single magic item.
(Thinking about it, it would be a lot more convenient if I could take this safe house if I could. I don't need any cleaning effort.... although it's pretty troublesome not knowing how the junction will react to other guys)
For example, what happens if this juncture is such a juncture that no one passes except Ray and Seto?
In the sense of security, it would be better than this... but that's why Elaine and the others can't even get into the house.
Other than that, it would be a major flaw as a house that no one can come in who has business at home.
Most importantly, if anything happens to Ray in the Guild... when we have to get out of the Guild for any reason, this lair present in the Devil's Forest becomes an excellent base.
Just in the Devil's Forest, those around it won't be able to imitate things like coming in so easily.
Somehow there are a lot of high-ranking monsters, and some of them are like that black snake.
That's the only thing that feeds the monsters, even when poorly ranked adventurers come in.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"
What's wrong with Ray? What about lunch? And a throaty ceto.
If you try Ceto, that beef monster's meat... that means you can eat beef, I guess you're hoping.
Even for Ray, that beef was delicious, so I understood how Seto felt too much.
"Right, shall we make lunch soon? I'm hungry, too."
The beef I got was the best way to eat it, such as flavoring it easily with salt and pepper and baking it and eating it rather than just getting it for a very tasty portion.
No, of course it was obvious that if the culinary skills were really high, it would be better to cook with all the hassle and leisure time, but even though you could cook like Ray, if you tried to be the only one with that degree of skill, you could definitely eat meat that tasted better if you simply cooked it.
(That's how the finest Wagyu beef like A5's Wagyu beef tastes good eating with salt and pepper...... so it's true I was doing it in some kind of cooking comic strip)
It was a cooking cartoon I saw when I was in Japan, and there was such a story.
Nevertheless, it was in terms of fatty parts like loin that was the subject of discussion at that time.
Roast is also said to be the source of the phrase: roast… roast, and that meat like that is best simply steaked and eaten rather than poorly handed. That's what we were talking about.
In comparison, the beef Ray is about to eat is thigh.
It is usually used for stewed dishes and such.
But because it's monster meat, it's usually very tasty to cook and eat.
Even when Ray was in Japan, there were locally consumed branded cattle, and he had eaten the sirloin part, but the beef's monster thighs just tasted unbeatable.
It's impossible to think of that in common sense, but in Elgin, where magic exists, it's not strange if it also becomes the meat of a monster, even if such common sense doesn't work.
"Well, that's how you eat it. I thought you were gonna skewer me? Or use it as an ingredient for soup?
Ray said to make soup ingredients, but in this case, he didn't make soup from the beginning.
A wide variety of soups are housed inside the mysteries.
It means adding beef as an ingredient to the soup.
Of course, Ray can't make easy soup either.
But if there's a soup made by a real cook anyway, it's natural to want to eat there.
That's how Ray took it out of Mystering, a soup full of vegetables.
I didn't want to imitate the idea of adding more meat to the meat soup if I could, just thick meat.
Thinking that way, Ray takes out the vegetable soup as he goes outside the safe house with Seto.
Very tasty, in the sense of soup that takes full advantage of the sweetness and texture of the vegetables.
But as for Ray and Seto, it would be natural to think that the meat was better served inside.
"Grrrrrrrrrr"
Seto sounds his throat joyfully at the smell of soup drifting around him.
I slept in a room with a magic formation until earlier, but I guess I was feeling hungry.
Though Seto feels hungry, he doesn't have to eat every day.
"Do you think this meat should be cooked and then put in, or put raw and boiled in soup... which one do you think?
"Gru?"
Seto tilting his neck at Ray's words.
If I tried Ceto, I guess that was the thought of either.
In fact, the texture is either cooked or boiled, or the taste of meat that dissolves in the soup is different.
Ray sees Seto tilting his neck and decides whether to cook it for now and then add the meat.
If you don't have a lot of trouble, you can put it in the soup raw.
But it's superb meat in the corner.
Ray didn't have the option to not do that if he could eat it deliciously with just a little hassle.
If this was the kind of meat we normally sell in butchers, we wouldn't have imitated it that much.
(Even though I say it takes a lot of work, I end up just baking it)
When an incineration is prepared, a skewer is stabbed in the meat and the other side of the skewer is stabbed to the ground.
At this point, what matters is the distance from the burning fire.
Only the surface will burn and burn if it is close, and if it is far away, gravy will drip away in vain without being able to cook.
Given the circumstances around it, it was necessary to stab the meat in just the right position.
"You're like this"
Ray stabs the meat in its just right position and waits for the meat to cook.
Seasoning is just a light shake of salt as a lower flavor, but as the meat was still cooked, there was an appetite-stimulating smell around it.
