Rice for Enoch’s Second Expeditionary Unit
Esmeralda's Wrath Part VIII
"Hey, Lislis, brother, look at you!!
"Hmm?"
Looking back at Alita as she said, what was there was a tree big enough to look up.
The trunk was white, the branches and leaves were as clear as vitreous, producing fruits as clear as twitchy and fruitful crystals.
"Maybe this is ice jelly!?
'That's right!
Ahhh ~ My breath of admiration spills more.
What a beautiful tree.
Ice frozen fruit is a fist large fruit, in a round shape. It also looks like a piece of art made from scraped crystals at first glance, but it definitely seems to be a plant native only to Snow Mountain.
"Mel, let's go pick it up"
"Yes!
Unexpectedly, he seemed to have been spotted.
It's where the snow bear is, so you can't relax. We just have to harvest it and go down the mountain.
First, Mr. Zara harvests one. When you take it, it glows rainbow.
"It smells sweet."
"And it's beautiful."
"Yeah, really"
What does it taste like? Looking forward to it.
Keep the freshly harvested ice jelly inside the Fairy Bag Nix.
I decided to take one, too, but... my hands can't reach the ice jelly.
"Oh, we're almost there."
"Lislis, can I help you?
"Please"
Alita grabbed my hips and lifted me all at once.
Grab ice jelly with both hands while trying not to look underneath.
"Wow, you're so sloppy"
"Really? Be careful not to drop it."
Copy that, sir.
Pick it gently and pack it in the nix to avoid dropping it on the ground.
That way, would you have picked about ten?
"Is this it?"
"Yeah, that would be enough."
Put all the ice jelly in the nix and get ready to leave.
I just want to take a break, but if you look back at what you've encountered with two snow bears, you can't relax.
He replenished his activity with sweet treats and left this place.
Fortunately, there were no snow bears on the way home.
In no time you will descend the mountain and reach the underground passage of the Great Sweet Ant.
"Finally, I could get this far. Zara, Stella, Alita, good day to you."
Though there is a journey ahead of us from here, the underground tunnel never encounters demons.
When I got off Stella, I lost my hips and sat on the spot.
"Mel, it's okay!?
"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine."
"Maybe you should take a break"
"Right."
The snow mountain stayed about three hours, but I felt like I was there more than that.
I don't want to encounter snow bears again.
"Hey, shall we make something warm?"
"Mel, let me make it"
"Mr. Zara, is it?
"Yeah. I caught an ingredient when I was magically surprised and faced the ground where I defeated the snow bear. I'll cook you something with it."
Does catching him mean he's a snowbird or a snowbird?
But I didn't know you even found other ingredients. That's right, I'm from Snow Country.
"So, what did you catch?
This is it.
It was a bright white fish that was put out of the leather bag.
Is it bigger than the palm of your hand?
White from mouth to tail, no scales. More beautiful than any fish I've ever seen.
"Ko, what is this!?
"Snowfish (Snow Fish) is a fish that swims in the snow."
"Oh, I didn't know there was such a creature"
"Me too, I've seen it a long time. I don't see much in there anymore."
Looks like a rare ingredient.
Are you white, too? That's what I thought, but the color of the body I opened with the knife in is bright orange.
"You look beautiful."
"Yeah, really. I grew up in the depths of the mountains, so I'm sure it's this color."
When Zara ate it in a small place, it seemed to be light orange.
Looking forward to seeing what the hell it tastes like.
Mr. Zara grates the snow fish into three pieces and the bones seem to make soup.
Add dried vegetables and simmer carefully.
The fish was cooked softly in a pot that dropped butter.
Soon, two dishes, soup and muniel, will be finished.
"Wow, it looks delicious!!
"Enjoy, please."
Alita is shining her eyes in front of the unknown ingredients.
I gave Stella fruit.
"Okay, I'll take it"
Let's start with the soup. Cover with a spoon and drink.
"Wow, thick!!
Rich fish stock. They say it's a fish swimming in the snow, so I couldn't imagine the taste, but it tastes like fish properly. Naturally, there is no raw odor.
The flavour is fully blended into the soup, and it has an elegant flavour that has been simmering with ash juice for days.
That's right, Mr. Zara's hand cooking. Delicious enough to be served at the store.
I also tried Muniel.
It was cooked with the skin left behind, so the surface is parsley and fragrant.
Fluffy. Of course, the taste of the chewy tortoise is overflowing in my mouth.
What a delicious fish.
"Zara, this is so delicious"
"Good for you."
Alita also shines her eyes like a gem and eats snowfish dishes.
This one, too, seems to fit your mouth.
Thanks to Zara, I enjoyed the excellent food.
Keep the excess snow fish soaked with the mushroom oil pickle.
This is delicious again. I look forward to completing it.
"Okay! I'm feeling better, do you want to go home!
