Rice for Enoch’s Second Expeditionary Unit
[すぽんぱん]/spoon pan/
- The mission is in.
The captain told us in the morning.
"The place is about half a day by horse from the King's Capital, Sailen Canyon. The contents..."
The captain sighs haha and says depressingly.
"There was a sighting of the dragon, so he told me to go check it out."
"What, it's a dragon!?
The first person to react was Lieselotte. That's right, phantom beast protection officer.
"No, they insisted that the witness was a dragon, but in light of the features, he said it wasn't a dragon"
The captain hands the paperwork to Lieselotte. If you peek in from the side, there's an autograph from Marquis Liechtenberger, director of the Phantom Beast Conservation Bureau, saying, "This is not a dragon, so I want you to talk to the Demon Institute".
"So, the demon lab looked into it and wondered if it might be water fins (colocazil)"
A waterfin (corokazir) is a lizard-like body with a finned demon. Sharp teeth and nails can be a threat in battle. Covered in scales like all-body metal, the defense is high.
There is a cunning side of swimming around in the water without signs and attacking while doing covert actions.
"But as an individual of water fins (collokazir), it's too big. This is probably why the witness lost sight of the dragon. Besides, it's like a demon you don't usually see in the Sailen Valley."
Here, the Knights also took the story to the Magic Research Bureau.
"According to a researcher at the Magic Research Bureau, the amount of magic in the river flowing through the Seilen Valley has risen steadily in recent years."
After a wealth of magic, a bigger than normal water fin (colocazil) has grown.
I don't know, awesome. For the first time, I saw the Demon Research Authority and the Magic Research Authority operate properly. Always, I wish I was serious about my job like this.
But, well, this is how their research helps in unforeseen circumstances. Weird people just stand out, and some people are serious about their work. I'll just review it for a second.
They tell me to come back if I can't find it after searching for it for three days.
Basically, although I'm not an individual who goes ashore and attacks people, I have the habit of being attacked when I get close to the waterfront, so I think I'd better knock them down, but this time it's definitely not.
The Seilen Valley is sandwiched by mountain cliffs to the left and right and is not a place for people to approach cheaply.
Witnesses were pedestrians who witnessed water fins (korokazir) from the mountain road. He said he discovered it on his way home from neighboring countries with minerals and stuff.
There are no villages around them, and they are demons that live in the rivers that flow into the valley, so there will be no damage. We're being dispatched to verify the facts.
"What are you going to do about the battle with Waterfin (Kolokazir)?
"They don't have to. If we know it's inhabited, a battalion of expedition troops will be dispatched"
"I see."
Travel on horses this time. Amelia doesn't have all the gear yet, so she's going to run after me and have me follow her.
If you become a beast, they also have to make gear such as helmets and saddles. You think the Phantom Beast Conservation Bureau will cover the cost of production? I'm fat.
But will Amelia be all right if she keeps running for half a day? Although I asked, the easy-going phrase "I'm fine at all ~" returned. Well, I can't leave you, and I just need you to do your best.
Along with Lieutenant Berry's orders, prepare to begin.
It's three days' worth of food, so it'll be a big load.
Amelia calls the expedition bag Zara made for me by mouth and goes into the vault.
Amelia prepares and carefully packs her food, such as a leather bag with dried fruit and a bottle of fruit juice, in the honey (Miele) marinade of forest apples. What a child you can be. I'm impressed.
"Que ~ ~"
"With this much, you'll have enough"
"Que!"
When I stroke Amelia's head, I get ready, too.
It's three days' worth, so I have to take more. It's a valley, so there seems to be a fish or something. I just wanted to do some local sourcing at first.
Dry noodles in bread, stir-fried beans in dried wheat, dried meat in smoked meat, pickled vegetables in vinegar, etc. I put it in three bags. Individuals lower it off the belt and prepare food bags as well. This is an emergency meal for when it comes off. Inside, biscuits, dried meat and dried vegetables were added.
The bag with food is put in the saddle of the captain, Mr. Ghal and Mr. Zara's horse.
Amelia was fitted with a brown headscarf and cape to avoid being noticeable. "Something plain," she said, but she couldn't help it. When I got back, I exchanged promises to go out stylish with him.
It will be assembly time and each horse will be saddled and loaded with luggage to cross.
Fortunately, horses don't show Amelia how frightened they are. That's right, the horses in the expedition. The liver is resting.
At present, is Amelia about the size of a pony? I think you've grown up again, seeing how you line up with horses.
Sla's bottle is stringed and hanging from my neck. A non-combatant, I was entrusted.
- We're leaving.
Run the horse, along with Lieutenant Berry's orders.
From the back entrance of the Knights, he proceeded to the streets.
"Amelia, if you're tough, tell me. I'll give you a break."
"Que ~ ~"
Amelia running next door, "It's an easy win -" what an easy-going look. I hope you don't have a butte on the way.
After a while of running, Amelia flew into the sky.
Fly ahead with Gungu and pull out the captain.
"Amelia! Not too far away."
"Quéc é ~!"
"Huh?"
Amelia screams. Ahead, there's a bunch of demons.
Sura also perceived signs, blubbering and trembling in the bottle.
I thought it was bad. I shouted up and reported.
"Captain ~"
"Oh, my God, Lislis!
"They say there's a demon ahead!
"What!?
They have three horned lions waiting in the middle of the street.
"Horned Lion (Lyodari)"
Horned lion (Lyodari), the first demon I've ever heard of. Around Wangdu, they come and go.
It's a demon I don't really want to deal with, but I decided that three or so bodies would manage to take them down, and I decided to move on.
Before the battle, line up at the captain's direction.
The captain and Mr. Gull run side by side in the lead, then Mr. Zara, Urgas, Liezelotte and I run side by side, with Deputy Captain Berley playing the shiatsu.
Moving on for a while, there's a big demon figure in the distance.
"All personnel, prepare for battle"
The captain gives instructions. I also took the demon stick gras that I was putting in my saddle.
The Horned Lion (Lyodari) produces sharp horns on his forehead and has a body larger than that of a horse. They're extremely fierce, and if you look at people, they attack you.
The captain kicks and storms the belly of the horse.
He was leading the horned lion (Lyodari) with a single sword in his neck.
Running through without stopping on the spot.
The moment the Horned Lions (Lyodari) show their backs trying to chase the captain, Mr. Gal jumps off the horse with a sharp thrust. I broke my knee because I pierced the steeple. An arrow of Urgas pierces the heart of a dull horned lion (Lyodari). I gave him a low growl, and then he fell. Two heads left.
Mr. Zara waved the battle axe down to the Horned Lion (Lyodari) as he rode. The first blow is dodged. It's a pretty heavy weapon, but I kept turning it around to draw loneliness, and struck my brain with a pattern. Around, the body of the Horned Lion (Lyodari) leans. And the sword of the captain, which was coming down from the horse, cleaved his neck, so that he might stab him in the face.
You realized the last head was a disadvantage, or you were retreating.
"Ah, you can't do that at that distance ~"
Urgas turned the arrow. Yeah, he was after the Horned Lion (Lyodari), but he seemed out of range.
"Leave it to me!
Liezelotte asks Lieutenant Berley for permission to use the magic.
"Allow activation"
Copy that.
The Horned Lion (Lyodari), which keeps moving away. I thought I'd make it, but Amelia flies away, swings her nail tip down from the sky and attacks, holding her back from going.
"It's about time"
That's what Lieutenant Berley says, so I rang Amelia back.
Amelia retreated to the sky. At that moment, the magic formations created by Lieselotte appear at the feet of the Horned Lion (Lyodari), and the firepillars wind up.
I burned the giant, in an instant, round.
Safe, the battle is over.
Lieutenant Berley was at the rear this time, so I didn't feel half safe.
"You don't seem to have any enemy shadows around you. All right, I'm gonna fold the corner and take it home."
Once you have defeated the demon, you must return with horns, claws, and submit it to the Knights with a report.
The captain pulls a large swing of knife from his waist. He was holding his head down with his feet, shaking off his guns and blades and cutting corners.
"What, this, hard, dammit..."
Captain waving the blade down to the corner in a very horrible madness phase. Apparently even a thick knife is hard to cut.
"I just look like a bandit..."
I'm thrilled to hear Urgas whine. I thought they read my mind.
"Hey, Zara, lend me your axe"
"It's not an axe."
Though he said so, it looks like he ended up lending him the battle axe. The corner breaks in one swing.
One burnt horn and two bloody horns. The captain was happily putting it in a leather bag.
"Do you want a break?"
There's a river nearby, so I'll take a break.
A little early, but I decided to grab lunch.
Everyone is feeding their horses water and washing their weapons. Looks like the captain and Mr. Gull are going to cover the demon wreckage with dirt.
It's cold, so I'd like to drink some warm soup...
"- Ah!"
Discover ingredients by the river. On a rock, a black creature that is crucified. It looks like a stone turtle (Herona), but that one is a river (Suppon).
I have heard that it is a nourishing ingredient and is traded as a luxury ingredient.
It also lived in the village river and was captured and eaten several times because it was quite delicious.
"Que?"
"Amelia, you know, I'll get Kawakawa."
"Que ~"
He looks like a stone turtle (Herona), but he's a fierce creature with a strong jaw and won't let go until he's pulled a thousand pieces if he bites.
"Amelia, please be careful"
"Que ~"
I squeeze the Demon Stick Gras tightly. In the village it was trapped and captured. But I don't have the tools this time either, so oddly enough I take the classic method of beating him with the same stick as the captain.
With Amelia, we sneak up to Kawagi (Suppon). I approached the reach of the Demon Stick and shook it up. I gazed at the timing and shook the stick down full of force.
It struck Gatsun and Kawagi (Suppon).
A long neck just comes out and stares at this one. Apparently, it couldn't be stopped with a single blow.
Kawagawa (Suppon) approaching this way with intimidation as he rattles his teeth with kachingatin.
"Hi-yes!
"Que!"
Me, scared and backward, and a blubber-shaking bottled slut. Amelia, on the other hand, walking forward.
"Careful, please."
"Que!"
Amelia swings her nails down into the river. He held his head to the ground as he stomped on it. Jitter and rumbling river cum (spun). After a while, it stopped moving.
"Yay! Amelia, wow, great!
"Que ~ ~"
Therefore, with the cooperation of Amelia, he also captured Kawatsu (Suppon).
Make sure there's no crew around. I'm sure because if you look at Kawagi (soppon), there's going to be people who squeeze waste if it's not food. I just have to sneak around and feed him with a face that doesn't eat anything.
"Mel, what's wrong?
I look back in a hurry. It was Zara.
He looked a little surprised when he saw the captured Kawagi (soppon).
"That, maybe, ingredients?
"Ugh... yes"
"Really? Stone Tortoise (Herona)... isn't it?
"This is Kawagi."
"Yeah."
For once, he claimed it was a luxury ingredient. It's delicious.
Although it was harrowing, Zara accepted with a smile.
I'm looking forward to it.
"Oh, thank you"
Good. Mr. Zara looks fine.
Conversely, the captain won't do it. If you eat slime or anything, but fish eyeballs or other ingredients that don't look delicious, you have a rejection.
"Can I help you with anything?
"So will you light the fire and keep the water boiling?
"Leave it to me."
A sigh of relief.
If it's a swampy river, it needs mud extraction, but fortunately, the river here is beautiful. It won't be necessary.
Swallow the river on a flat stone.
First, put a deep cut in the neck and drain the blood. Bright red blood drips. My father and grandfather were drinking this divided by booze. They're very nutritious.
When I drained the blood, I put a crisp blade in the armor and removed it. The edge of the armor is soft.
Remove the guts and cut off the hands and feet. Remove yourself and let the cut area go through hot water.
Wash once in water and into a boiling pan.
Zara was the only one in Kamado, so no one else has.
Dry vegetables and herbs garlic, spices, etc. were added to taste. Simmer for a while and you're done.
Just as the captain returns.
"That smells good."
"Oh, yes!
The captain looks hungry.
Because it is a cat tongue, I took the captain's share in the vessel first. No unusual parts of Eunpei should be allowed. Keep only the meat in.
Broil and crisp the bread as well.
I'll go get everyone when I'm ready. Surrounded the pan, it was time for lunch.
To pray to God and wear the Kawa-ju (soppon) pot, thank God.
"Wow, this is so delicious!!
Urgas reacts excessively.
The captain who heard that asked me a question.
"What soup is that?
"... it's a soup for you"
"That's a neat explanation."
The survey is too sharp.
"Vulgas was so hungry."
"I see. Hungry is the best seasoning, so..."
Thanks to a word from Zara, I managed to mislead her. Urgas is obsessed with eating.
The captain kept his nose close to the vessel and was sniffing.
"Something you've smelled..."
Cover with a spoon, captain drinking soup.
"This is Kawagi soup."
Hear a word from Liezelotte, captain who can choke. I had tears in my eyes.
"Oh, what can I do?
"No, a river turtle (Soppon) is a stone turtle (Herona) walking around!
"It's not a stone turtle. It's Kawakawa."
I didn't know Lieselotte would notice. That's a noble lady.
"We used to raise them."
"Do you want Kawagawa (soppon)?
Anything, they kept it in the garden of the Marquis of Liechtenberger as edible.
"But your father got adorable..."
"What, you got a river?
"Yes."
They were washing, feeding and drowning the methyl.
But a tragedy occurs when you start to keep the river (suppon).
"Kawagawa chewed on your father."
"Oh, that's..."
The Marquis is furious. He was adorable, Kawa-ju (soppon), but he became an ingredient overnight.
"I made a lot of kawa-ju soup, but your father didn't eat it..."
"It must be complicated."
Ever since then, the Marquis has no longer lined up the soup of Kawagawa (soppon).
"Excuse me, something"
"No. I love it. It's delicious."
"Thank you"
I also ate the soup of Kawagi (soup).
First of all, I feel a rich flavour. The meat has a light taste of the bird lineage and has a good crisp texture.
The ephemeral part is delicious as it is puffy.
"There's good stock out there. Your body warms up."
"Yeah, really"
Everyone seems to have eaten deliciously. The captain also completes the meal with a smile on his face.
The expedition in the afternoon seemed to be working hard.
