Rice for Enoch’s Second Expeditionary Unit
Scissor fruit soup
It's been a week since Mill arrived.
I find it amazingly adaptable to the surrounding environment and envious.
The exercise did not appear to have been immediately cleared, but tomorrow, it was to take place.
Are you okay? I'm worried.
The next day. It was the day of the exercise. On our way is the meadow, which is about two hours away by horse from Wang Du.
There is a small demon named Lapinu. It is about half a metre (fifty centimeters) in size, but quite fierce, and attacks people in the years when small animals, which are food, breed less.
This year is apparently the case, with a few damages.
Therefore, the crusade task was entrusted to the second unit.
"- Isn't that an exercise!
"I was going to exercise until last night. If the mission came in, I had no choice."
All of a sudden you're in action or something......
I have a rookie right next door, so I made a sad announcement.
"Stella, it's not an exercise, it's a mission"
"Ku......"
Stella will be first in line this time. Recently, he was recognized as a Knights approved phantom beast.
Although I had tears in front of the interviewer's uncles and was worried if I could pass because my ears and tail were drooling.
I guess the recommendation the captain wrote for me was good.
Amelia speaks to Stella, who looks anxious.
"Queer Queer, Queer Queer?
"Kuw......"
Amelia worries and Stella responds healthy when she works hard. Sister love between phantom beasts (?) makes me feel awkward about it.
Meanwhile, speaking of my sister...
"Mill?"
Mill was eye-opening and solidified. He grips a long cane that is about the length of his body. With one eye, I found myself nervous. Until earlier, I was nicotine. What's the matter?
"Mill, are you okay?
……
"Mill?"
When I pounded my shoulder, I said, "Yikes!," he screamed and jumped up.
"Ah, bi, I was surprised. Is that your sister..."
"Mill, do you want to stop this time?
"Ya, I won't stop"
Apparently, it became a real-life expedition from the exercise, so I got scared. I won't rebuke what I said once on purpose, even though I won't be forced to participate. She's in trouble.
I go to the captain and ear slap him.
"Captain, may I have a word?"
"What?"
It's a secret story, so I ask you to crouch.
"Um, it's about the mill, but he seems so scared. But don't ask me to go."
It would be unsuitable at this point. So I asked you to tell me not to come on the expedition.
"No, if he means to go, I'll take him"
"Huh!?
"Maybe you'll make up your mind while you're on the move"
"No!"
I mean, even though it's a secret story, the captain didn't talk to me in a hissohisso voice. This doesn't make sense.
I thought so and looked back, but the mill looked like the sky above. He hasn't even heard the conversation between me and the captain.
That's why we're leaving - but.
"Wow, wow! Yes ~!"
Mill wasn't even able to ride a horse.
The horse is shaking his neck and showing restlessness. I guess horses don't like it because it's something that grips the reins with fear.
"Captain, that kid, he's not fit, is he?
"I don't know yet. Put him on Amelia."
"No, but..."
"Captain's orders."
You'd better stop here, but the captain seems to proceed with his assignment with the mill.
"Mill, when you shopped, when you hunted, didn't you ride a horse?
"Yeah. The hunt, it was a walk... because Elle was there shopping clerk"
You think the hunt was looking for prey with demonic eyes, without using horses? I didn't know there was such a backhand.
But after I'm gone, if you really think you're taking over the role. The shopper seemed to be Elle, the other sister in charge.
"If it were now, we'd make it. Why don't you tell the captain you can't go, you can't ride a horse?
"It's okay. I'm sure you'll be fine."
Looking at you, you don't look okay.
Again, it doesn't seem to bend what you decide to do once. Really, troubled kid.
"Amelia, about the mill, please"
"Que!"
With a crisp look, Amelia replied.
Just now, I'm lowering my posture to make it easier for the mill to ride.
"Nice to meet you, Amelia"
"Que ~"
In the meantime, you'd be relieved if I left it to Amelia.
Speak to Stella as well.
"Stella, to the meadows, thank you"
"Qu"
Stella was a nervous face, but she showed her mood when she tried her best.
We're ready, so we're off.
Two hours, I went on to the scene without a break.
"Come on...... wow!
Mill, coming down from Amelia, fluttered and nearly fell.
"Oh, it's dangerous!
I'm on the verge of a fall, and Urgas will take it.
"Squirrel Magic Soldier, are you okay?
"Yeah, thanks"
It won't be all right at all.
Looking back at the captain who was behind it.
I pointed my finger to see the current helo swing, but the captain shook his head. Apparently, the mission is going to continue like this.
"Okay. Let's go. Squirrel, the health guard, stands by on this occasion. Make a bond with holy water, make a stronghold."
Copy that, sir.
To this instruction, the mill was a little.
"Oh, sister, aren't you coming?
"Depending on the assignment, we'll have to keep an eye on the horses, build a base, and wait."
"Oh, yeah."
Mill speaks to the album I was wrapping around my neck.
"Hey, hey, Album, why don't you come with me?
"Ee, pancake no sister to?"
"Please! Album is the only one I can count on!
"E, Sounano? U ~ Ndattara, how to ganaikana ~ '
Album, chocolate. But I'm relieved. If there was an album, it would be comforting.
Hearing his wish, the album jumped on Mill's shoulder.
"T, Iuwakedakara, Albumchan, Mandate D, Participation Sitekluwa"
"Take care"
Wave and drop him off.
I slapped Mill on the back and let him live.
"Mill, hold on tight."
"Ugh, yeah."
Reply with your eyes swimming.... No. Shit.
I ran to the captain.
"Um, captain"
"What?
"Sorry about the mill, thank you"
Without responding, I slapped him in the head with a pomp.
Squirrel, don't worry.
"Deputy Berley......"
Zara told me she was okay, too. Mr. Gull slaps me in the shoulder with a ton so he can brave me.
"Mel, I'll protect my sister."
"Please, please"
Somehow, he's going to suffer from himself and Mill when he enlisted.
"I know what it's like to be scared of my first expedition."
"Lieselotte......"
Again, speak to the mill.
"Mill, listen carefully to the captain and the deputy captain's instructions. When it's a battle, don't leave Urgas or Lieselotte. If you're in trouble, you can count on Zara or Gal."
"Yeah......"
I have no hegemony at all. Um, where did the prestige go that he said he would definitely be a knight?
Even though I was worried, I was supposed to drop him off.
Being alone, I sprinkle holy water and avoid demons, tent and create a base of activity.
Next, to prepare everyone's lunch.
"Amelia, will you gather the stones for Kamado?
"Que!"
The Amelia crew specializes in collecting stones the size of a kamado during an expedition.
"Queer Queer, Queer Queer Queer"
'Qu?'
Apparently, he teaches his skills to junior Stella.
"Be careful. When the demon comes out, come back."
"Que!"
"Qu"
While the Fantasy Beast sisters go to collect Kama stones, they cook a dish.
Coincidentally, the base tree was a scissor tree. The fruit is falling down there. The season is about autumn, but occasionally this way, it may produce out-of-season fruit. Seasonality seems to go crazy, such as when the land is dark in magic.
I could pick it up full of leather bags in a few minutes.
At the same time, Amelia and Stella come back. He gathered stones for Kamadu.
"Amelia, Stella, thank you"
"Que!"
"Ku!"
We're both satisfied that we accomplished our mission.
Amelia strokes her jaw and Stella strokes her forehead.
"So can you crack the scissor fruit next?
"Que!"
'Qu?'
The scissor's fruit is actually covered in a hard shell.
"I thought maybe Amelia could just step on it lightly and crack it"
"Que ~ ~"
Shell splitting, too, Amelia's crew was showing motivation. The Stella crew is taking a learning stance.
It will be fine if I leave it to you.
Start cooking.
First, fry dried vegetables in butter. When it got sober, I added a little water.
Add spices along the way and add milk.
"Queer ~"
"Oh, thank you"
I hear the scissor fruit shell split is over. Clever, he was separating the shell from the fruit.
Crush yourself in a breast bowl and place in the soup.
Once the gum is simmered, it's finished with the "Scissor Fruit Soup".
I had time to spare, so I picked up the scissor fruit again and made pancakes with fried nuts. I can't wait to smell the fragrance.
Has it been about two hours since the captains went on mission?
"Que?"
"Kwwww."
Amelia and Stella look back at me. Apparently, he's back.
I stood up and waited to welcome...
"Hmm?
Not enough of one crew member to come back.
The mystery is quickly discovered.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah."
Oh, my God, Mill came back with a hug from Mr. Gale crying so hard.
What the hell happened? I look at the captain's face unexpectedly.
"Failed."
... right?
