90. Hollowbirds

"Huh?"

Serra was very surprised when she magically lit the fire. Well, you'd be surprised if you didn't do anything but suddenly light a fire...

"How did you light the fire? It suddenly looked like a fire was lit..."

Apparently, he didn't know that he used magic. Speaking of which, you said it was rare for Mr. Elena to be able to use magic, right? Maybe Serra couldn't tell because no one in this village could use magic?

Looking at Serra with that in mind, she seemed to wonder how she lit the fire and looked at me with interest.

"... well, it's simple magic"

"Huh!? Magic!?"

Then Serra shouted, "Magic!? I shouted," I cautioned with a slightly lower voice.

"Serra? What was your promise earlier?

"Oh, I'm sorry. But I was surprised that Lena could use magic..."

"Well, I don't mind your surprise, but keep it to yourself, okay?

"Yeah. I won't tell anyone"

"... So, shall we cook the meat quickly?

"Yeah!"

That's how I took out the meat of the hollowbird and started cutting it to the right size. When I finished cutting, I cleaned the branches I hadn't used, then stabbed the meat and stabbed it to the ground to surround the fire. Then when I put the meat through the fire carefully, I shake the salt and pepper and it's done. I gave Serra the meat that I could do that.

"Yes, please."

"Thanks"

Serra was so thankful, but her gaze was towards the meat. Are you still hungry? and i just decided to eat it because i felt bad letting him wait thinking about it.

"Bye. I'll have it."

"I'll have it."

That's what I said and stuck to the meat. Is it oily because the oil was dripping when I was cooking it? I thought so, but it actually tasted very refreshing and delicious when I tried it.

"Delicious."

"Yeah! And what else did you hang besides salt? Though hollowbirds taste better than just sprinkling salt?

"? I just waved salt and pepper, didn't I?

"Pepper!? Oh, ho, really?

Then I was very surprised to hear that Serra was pepper.

"Yeah, yeah, to be so surprised?

"Oh, that's amazing! 'Cause how much do you think it costs more than salt?

"Huh?... ah"

I realized after Serra told me that, but I remembered that pepper was a very expensive spice in this world. Sure, I was surprised how high the pepper was when I came to the city.

"Are you okay with using something that expensive anyway?

"That's not a problem. I forgot it was expensive because I used it a lot."

"Oh, yeah."

When I said I had no problem, Serra had a convulsive look for some reason. Why not? and with that in mind, he was eating while recommending meat to Serra.
