My First Trip was to Another World

Yesterday was just a day of mobility and base setup, the two of them can't use physical enhancement after being unfamiliar, so I can't help but take some time.

For this reason, I decided to get up early today and take longer hours of activity. What we plan to do is hunt. Cash in on the goblin hunt. You'd be lucky to find some herbs on the move.

Begin activities with dawn. Ricky and Kate crawled out of their old run-down tents in the cold and began to prepare for withdrawal.

I plan to stay here again today, but I withdraw my camping tools once. This is not Japan, so there is a risk of thieves and fear of being vandalized by demons. Leaving the tent like this and going out for a long time is very unsettling. For that reason, I'll take care of it all.

"Um, aren't the Koes cold?

Ricky says so, grabbing his arms with both hands and shrinking himself to freeze.

"Yeah......? Oh, well. I guess you guys are normal clothes. The clothes we're wearing aren't cold. Sorry, I didn't realize that. I'll lend you some fur later."

We were completely unaware of the cold protection. If you had no choice but to protect your clothes from the cold in your tent, you should have cooperated. Even so, I can only do enough to lend you fur.

The mysterious fur I received at the royal castle carries several pieces to lay in the tent. Some things I haven't used, so I don't have a problem lending them one or so.

"I didn't mean to... Fur is such an expensive thing, I can't take responsibility for it if it gets dirty. Just make yourself comfortable."

Is it that expensive? I got quite a few... okay. It's what I got anyway, and I'll give one to these guys. If it's enough to rot without use, you should use it down and wore it out.

"Oh well. Then you have no choice. I'll do one, so use it as you please. I got it too, so don't hesitate."

"No! I can't have it!

"Don't worry about it. If you want to thank me, tell the king of Alencia."

"What do you mean...?

Ricky tilted his neck when he said something, but if he talked in here, he'd just be late to leave. I left it and went back to work on the withdrawal.

Leaving the dining table and oil stove to finish the withdrawal, Luna and the others prepared a brief breakfast of bread and soup. Instruct Ricky and Kate to eat as well.

Then the two got to their dreaded seats and opened their mouths.

"Do you mind if we continue yesterday?

"Well, never mind. It's more restless to see him hungry on the side."

"Thank you...... It will be a treat."

Ricky and Kate thanked each other in awe, cheeky.

It's a pretty simple breakfast from the usual us, but it didn't seem that way to these two.

"I'm thrilled to be able to eat such soft bread in the morning..."

"Usually, what are you eating..."

I shrugged unexpectedly, but I remember him, too. Probably an adventurer's staple, Katchkachi's sturdy bread. Bread strong enough that your teeth are going to go crazy if you don't soak it in water. Eat it as you go and your chin will work out, it's a kind of preserved food.

It doesn't taste bad. After I sprinkle it in the water, it tastes like Guerro, but it tastes like bread porridge. However, it is not as delicious as you would like to eat all the time. I haven't bought it anymore, so I haven't eaten enough lately to forget it exists.

I'm just finishing my meal and I need to talk to you about my plans for today. I began the conversation by rinsing the tea after the meal.

"While hunting today, I'm going to look for medicinal herbs. First of all, Leeds. Walk as you check the direction of the enemy. Claire doesn't hesitate to stop when she finds a place where herbs are likely to grow."

"Yes."

When Leeds raised his hand vigorously, Claire opened her mouth with her arms in disaffection.

"Okay. But I don't think there's anything going on this time of year.

"I don't think I'll find anything either. If we're lucky, maybe we'll find him? 'Cause I just think."

It's winter this season. Probably nothing. But I can't find anything I can find if I'm not willing to look. All I need is a willingness to try to find it.

"Copy that. I'm sorry I stopped you. Shall we go now?"

"Right. Ricky, Kate! Have you forgotten anything? If not, we'll be leaving soon."

"Yes, I'm fine"

Ricky replied hazy with a motivated look. Don't worry about it at this rate. Initiate action.

Leeds led the way and started walking towards the woods. I'll check the whole thing out from the back. It's the usual style.

During the march, it was Claire, Luna and Mr. Lily's role to support the two. I'm walking side-by-side with the two of them in chat.

From the conversation that sounded chilling, I knew that each of them taught me about their area of expertise. Claire teaches about herb collection and the standing of adventurers, while Luna and Lily teach about magic. You don't seem to have my turn...

Walking down a roadless road with nothing for a while, Fu and Kate stopped. I think I found something to worry about. Are you alarmed by nothing, Luna and the others are unaware of it.

Observe carefully from the rear. Then, Kate suddenly crouched, ing the little leaves that were growing on the ground. And throw it straight into your mouth.

"You can eat this."

"No, no, no, wait a minute! Don't eat it before you know it!

Run over in a hurry and pay attention. But Kate doesn't seem to mind.

"... Huh? You'll see when you put it in your mouth, won't you?

"No, there would be dangerous plants if I just put them in my mouth."

"You know that by the looks of it. You also know what you don't know when you see it, the moment you put it in your mouth. If you spit it out right away, you'll be fine, right?

That's what Kate said, and Leeds, who was lying next to her, came up.

"Really?"

Leeds imitates Kate, chops the grass and puts it in her mouth. I couldn't even afford to stop that behavior from flowing through a series of motions.

"Whoa! Don't imitate me!

"Ugh... mazuuuuuu!

Leeds spat out a green object screaming like that. All of a sudden, he couldn't see, but he put about a grab of grass in his mouth at once.

"Look, he says it's not to imitate. Wash your mouth with water."

Leeds has washed her mouth many times. Luckily it wasn't a poisonous plant, but you should never do this. Leeds, too, would never do it again if he punished me for this.

"Excuse me, this is a grass that doesn't taste good if you don't put it through fire."

"That's not the problem. My asshole kid (Leeds) imitated it. Don't put it in your mouth all of a sudden because it's dangerous."

"Huh...? I'm sorry...... We didn't think it was that dangerous..."

So novice... no, are you more of a pro? I'm not familiar with plants enough to judge them by their appearance. That said, it's too dangerous to suddenly put a native, unknown plant in your mouth.

"I'll teach you the right discernment, so from now on, judge me by that. It just so happens to be working now, but some poisons don't taste good."

Belladonna, for example. Fruits like blueberries are said to be sweet and delicious. But it's poisonous. Although it is not a plant found in Japan's wild mountains, there are apparently deaths due to poisoning in native countries.

I wonder if the origin on Earth was Western Europe. Somehow, but I feel similar to the climate in Alencia. For this reason, it is not strange that similar plants are growing.

"Correct? In our village, we're all like this, aren't we?

Kate says wonderfully. Seriously, what village... I thought you had food poisoning all year round. If you get food poisoning while camping, even mild symptoms are dangerous.

I thought my brother Ricky would be the one to take action that didn't even clap. But that seemed like my mistake. Kate is more dangerous. It's unnoticeable, so it's extra dangerous.

Kate has a weak presence and it's easy to keep an eye on her, but you don't know what you're gonna do if you let her go. Be careful when you get back to the city...

"Some plants get addicted just because they eat a little. There is a method called patch testing. I'll show you an example. Just try to imitate."

That said, I cut a thousand grasses without Leeds' vomit hanging.

Patch testing is one means of checking the presence or absence of plant poison. It's a way to rub plants on weak areas of the skin, such as your arms, and observe how they progress.

After applying it to the skin and seeing how it is for more than 15 minutes, lick it a little to find out if it has irritation or bitterness. Bite a small amount if you don't have a problem and see how it goes. I swallow a small amount at the end and can rest assured for now if there is no abnormality in my body for more than half a day.

I explained the flow to the two of them and started patch testing. I'm free in the meantime, so we'll have a little chat.

"For your information, how are you discerning what you look like?

"Right...... You avoid shiny leaves, or you don't get your hands on umbrella flowers. And I only eat what I know of nuts."

You seem to be properly discerning and surprisingly thinking about it.

Plants with shine are often poisonous just because they look beautiful. Among the plants that wear umbrella flowers are intense poisonous grasses like doxjellies and doc carrots. It's hard to tell from edible celery, etc., so if you don't know, it's easier not to get your hands on it.

As for nuts, they can't just judge by their appearance. More or less, I can think of a persimmon and a tomato-like pattern. I don't think I can judge that by just looking at it.

"Thanks. That was helpful. But from now on, you'll have to judge it according to the patch test."

"Ok......"

The two nodded with a strange look. They convinced me. This would be a relief.

Actually, I know this plant.

Round leaves about 4 cm in diameter, dark green but white along leaf veins. Probably Yukinosita. Precious weeds that are resistant to the cold and can be eaten during periods of snowmelt. I've never seen it in this world either, but I've decided it's the same thing because it's the same trait and the same shape.

If it's true, patch testing takes a lot of time, but it's a waste of time to do it with a plant you know. Let's check with Claire once and interrupt the test.

"Claire, it's time. Can you explain that to me?

"Enough? Can we just do this to the end?

"I've explained the flow, so I've had enough. I found it, so let's just pick it up and move it."

When I said that, Ricky gave me a surprised look.

"Huh? You know what?

I was doing a patch test on an assumption I didn't know about, so I wouldn't have a choice about that reaction.

Claire would definitely know, so I asked for a commentary with a combination of answers.

"Absolutely. This is a koji sow. It's not uncommon or anything. I found it because of you, just ignore it, okay?

I knew it was a different name. Is Yukinosita called Kojisoo? Um, it's tricky.

That's fine, but Yukinosita doesn't seem like a bother to collect either.

"Isn't that a herb?

"Yes, but it's too cheap to buy. Anyone can pick it. They can go to the back of the woods, so they should stay for beginners."

"Huh? Precious food......"

I can hear Kate whining sadly. Apparently, eating or not is more important than whether it's a medicinal herb.

"You have a beginner, Ricky, today. Let's pick it up for study."

"Really? It's the kind of herb that kids without rank would pick..."

I guess Claire is worried about being sidelined from her job. But we're not picking this as a herb, we're picking it as food.

"Well, that's good. If you don't like delivering it, you can eat it."

"Okay. Let's pick it up."

"Huh? This grass is bad, isn't it?

Leeds muttered with a Kyoton look.

"Because I eat it raw... Let it burn and you'll eat it deliciously."

Raw yuquinosita is slightly tannic and must not be eaten but not delicious. I threw one grasp into my mouth raw, so it tasted bad and natural.

Yukinoshita for dinner was collected in exchange for Leeds.

Kate's sudden behavior surprised me, but I'm glad I found food. You haven't wanted to eat Yukinosita in a long time. I look forward to dinner.

Looking in the mountains again, it is surprisingly full of greenery. If you look like this, you might find some other mountain vegetables. Let's walk in anticipation.
