Rice for Enoch’s Second Expeditionary Unit
Esmeralda's Wrath Part IV
Thanks to Zara's driving, we were able to take the shortcut to Snow Mountain.
I want to go home as soon as possible, so I'll clean up and leave as soon as I can.
The rest of the first snow doughnuts were given to the sweet ants who made the aisle.
"Oh, can I have all this?
"Fine."
'Oh, thank you. You can go home for free.'
Were you going to ask for sweets on the way home?
Thanks to Zara, I didn't have to give her a treat on the way home.
"All right, let's go"
"Yes."
"Copy that!
"Ku!"
The sweet termite who made the aisle waved at me with her first snow doughnut cheeky all over her mouth. I wave back, too.
Mr. Zara shrugged, straddling Alita.
"Nevertheless, this is a really strange space."
'Well, some ants make passages alone, others in multiple. Some ants hire people.'
"What people...?
Second, I doubt it. As long as adventurers are in and out of here, they don't know.
No, although I'm not familiar with adventurer circumstances.
"Alita, what kind of adventurer uses this place?
Ninety percent of them are beasts.
"Oh, really?
"Yeah. With a rabbit, a dog, a cat. A lot of things. '
Do you not see beasts in the city because they pass through the underground passage of the sweet giant ants?
"The beast man seems to get weird attention because he's rare, and he didn't really want to work in the city or anything."
……
There are few beasts in this country. Because of this, there is little understanding, and it is often seen with strange eyes?
'Oh, but they've made a lot better impression over the last few years. Anything, a group called Enoch seems to be embracing the Beast Man.'
"Ah, Enoch is the group we belong to."
'Oh, yeah. The beast man seems to have gone to Enoch because the treatment is good'
"So you were"
He said he wanted to quit his adventurer and go to Enoch.
"I see."
The Knights seem to have a strong impression that they need coordination, and that many beasts are attracted to pay and treatment but are hard to take a step forward.
The Beast Man is physically fit and powerful. It would be a race for knights.
Even the Knights Enoch has a lot of beastmen in action.
It's a waste to be butting in to worry about it. To my whining like that, Zara snorts deeply, too.
"Tours, experience enlistments, maybe they'll come when you plan."
"Would you like to talk to the captain?
"Right."
"If you decide on something, I'll help you promote it or something."
"Thank you"
Some are aggressive beasts, others are passive beasts.
Some beasts can act collectively, others can't.
It's not just the Beast Man. Same goes for people.
If you can see your aptitude and enlist in the right unit, you'll be able to work.
While we were talking about that, we seem to have reached near Snow Mountain.
"It's cold on the ground, so maybe you should put on your jacket"
"Right."
Since the passage of the sweet termite has boundaries, does it have specifications that do not feel cold or hot?
I took Zara's share, mine and two coats out of the fairy bag Nix.
"Thank you, Mel"
"No."
Take a break before you go to Snow Mountain.
"Be well energized before entering Snow Mountain"
Climbing in the snow consumes surprisingly much vitality.
To make it up to you is a meal.
"Oh, yeah."
"I don't know about fairies and spirits, but people can be very powerful."
At a minimum, it will need to be replenished every hour and a half to two hours.
"Mel prepared dishes for me on the Snow Mountain mission last time, and I'm glad you did."
"No."
The case of a noble boy (Boom Boom) who went missing and was to go look for him in Snow Mountain.
Every single thing I could have done a little over six months ago, but it kind of seems like a distant memory.
"You had a lot going on. Drinking unauthorized forest apple liquor with bandits..."
"Mel, that's not the bandit we drank with, it must have been Crowe."
"Oh, I was. You were the captain, not a piece of bandit. Sorry, my memory's blurred."
Yes, it was. It was the captain who drank the booze together.
"Well, that's enough memorabilia to cook."
"I'll help you, too."
"Thank you"
Place the dried mushrooms in the pan and take stock thoroughly.
Subsequently, dried vegetables were added, boiled and fumigated.
"Salted bacon, cut into extravagantly thick pieces!
It is a special bacon made by rubbing lots of salt and vanilla into a large chunk of pig pig hunted by Lord Siel before this.
I was going to eat, I was going to eat, but I was wasting my time and I wasn't getting my hands on it.
Because of this opportunity, cut luxuriously thick.
When it boils around, add the chopped red eggplant (tomato) boiled in water. The inside of the pan stains bright red.
The white rice you can put in here is washed with water. Put this in a pan and simmer.
When the fire is somewhat through, cover it.
A few minutes later - when I opened the lid - I smelled fluffy and good.
"It looks delicious."
"Yeah, but it's not finished."
Sprinkle the cheese at the end. Once this melts, we're done with the cheese risotto.
'Wow. Something smells good!
"Would you like to try Alita, too?
'Yeah. Hey, let's have a taste'
Sweet ants eat only basic, sweet foods. Is the cheese risotto okay?
Stella gives fruit. In the meantime, Zara put me on a plate.
"Okay, now you're ready."
"Thank you"
Put your hands together, I'll take it.
Add the spoon and pour the risotto and the cheese stretches out.
The cheese melts sour red eggplant.
White rice is cooked in a good way, and the texture of the crunchy mushrooms is good.
The bacon is more salty and overflowing with gravy if chewed.
Mr. Zara was eating with a smile. You won't even have to ask how it went.
Alita, meanwhile, kept her spoon in her mouth, stopping.
"Alita, what do you say? Didn't it suit your mouth?
"Oh, delicious..."
"Yes?"
'This is so, so delicious!!
Alita tells me what she thinks, sparkling her eyes.
'I don't know, there's a lot of richness in the sourness, a lot of texture, amazing!!
Are you excited or are you feeling sloppy?
But well, it seemed delicious, so I was hoping for that.
