"So what kind of souvenir did you bring this time?"

After drinking a glass of fruit juice, I calmed down, and Thor asked him with a promising glance.

His eyes are poured into large wooden boxes and bags, and he looks forward to seeing what comes out.

The same is true of the next Asmo, staring at the two as if they were trying in perspective.

Perhaps the best part of this is frozen fish. However, if you show it first, other souvenirs will look hazy, so let's start with the ones that would have low expectations at first.

"Yes, then this is the beginning."

I take a small wooden box out of my bag and open it so it looks like Thor and Asmo.

There are beautiful shells and fragments of magic stones.

"What is this? Shell?"

"Yes. Seashells caught in the sea. Are they rainbow-colored and beautiful?"

"Huh, it's definitely sparkling. Is this a shell in the sea?"

Tall picks up the shell and looks at it with interest.

There are small shells in Coriat village, but they are not eatable. Muddy meat is small and not edible.

Because there are almost no large shells like the sea, such large and beautiful shells will be fresh.

To be honest, I think this would be the best gift for going to the sea.

Asmo asks me if I'm thinking that.

"... Hey, Al. What's inside?"

"No."

I thought I would say that because it was Asmo. What do you care about the contents in front of such a beautiful shell?

Are you interested in something more beautiful?

"What is this transparent guy?"

"Oh, that's a gemstone shard. What happens when a gemstone flows into the sea and is shaved.

"Hey, is that so? It seems like a woman is happy."

"Well, just decorate it in the room or give it to someone."

Because such beautiful things are pleasing to women. I don't think they have a hobby of looking at something like this, so it's better to use it when dealing with a village woman.

"Well, let's decorate it. It's a souvenir I got."

"It's a sea thing that's not in Coriat village, and it's valuable."

Wouldn't he say something really nice? If you say such a thing, you will be glad to have a souvenir here. I just picked it up on the beach.

Is the processed magic stone shards provided by Quina good?

"Well, next is the food you can't wait for."

""Oh!""

I was a little nervous, so I told myself to change my mind and changed the topic from shells and debris to food.

As they look at their expectations, I remove two jars from the bag.

"Yes, open this, because both are different foods."

I'm hoping for the reaction of the two and urging them not to open on purpose.

"Because I open this place, Asmo is over there!"

"all right!"

Then they opened the jars with their pure faces.

At that moment, the peculiar fishy odor and fragrant salt of the fish coming out of the closed jar.

"Ugya ah ah! What's this!"

"Uh, the smell is strong!"

Thor and Asmo, who smell the smell of fish and small crab dried fish, are astonished and leave the vase.

"Hey, this smell is hard. Hey, open the Asmo window!"

"But then the cold will escape!"

I want to ventilate because the smell of dried fish is tight, but if you open the window, cold air escapes and hot air enters.

From the perspective of Thor and Asmo, both will only be hell.

"That's right! Hey, Al. What is this! Really food !?"

"Ah, it's processed fish and small crab into preserved food. The smell is hard, but it's delicious. The air will be magically replaced and it's cool, so eat it."

When I say that while laughing, the two approach the horrible vase.

Thor is surprised by the smell and remains untouched, but Asmo's curiosity seems to have won because he has a strong desire for food. I put my hand in the vase and grabbed the small crab.

Small crabs picked up by Asmo pass through the reddish shades and are soaked in sunlight, salt, and sauces. And the smell of the crab is drifting to the fullest.

"Oh, hey, do you eat?"

Asmo watched Thor with a worried expression, Asmo put it in her mouth.

Every time Asmo chews, it makes a crisp sound like a crisp shell.

"... Oh, it's delicious! @ The taste is richer than the crabs in the river in Coriat Village, and the more you bite, the more the taste begins to seep!"

"Because it is dried, the taste is concentrated."

"In addition, the texture is fun. You can eat Thor without being scared."

"Well, who's scared?"

While being provoked by Asmo, who eats it proudly, Thor also reaches out to the jar containing the small crab and throws it into his mouth.

"It's delicious! The smell and the picture when you look into the pot are aside, the taste is exquisite."

Piaha is a little nervous inside the vase full of small crabs, so you can feel a little.

If you look into the vase without knowing it's a small crab, you're going to scream lightly.

"And is another one a sea fish?"

"Yeah. There are dried fish and mackerel and various sea fish."

"Aji? Mackerel?"

When I name two types of sea fish in the jar, Thor leans her head.

"It's the name of a sea fish."

"Hey, I don't really understand, but anything is a sea fish."

There may be several other types, but it would not be easy to tell Thor and Asmo who are not familiar with sea fish so much.

Anyway, if you taste different from river fish, you will be glad.

Is it possible to trust the taste of small crabs? Thor and Asmo pick up dried fish without fear.

“Wow! What ’s going on?

Pia, the dried fish is basically open, so the impact when you see it suddenly is amazing.

"It's hard to eat everything, so try cutting it a little and tasting it."

"Oh, yes, that's right."

Of course, there are some small ones, but the ones they took were rather large. It ’s better to eat a little slice here.

When Thor and Asmo pull on the edge of the dried fish, they can be removed so that they can be peeled off.

Brownish body that is impregnated with sunlight and salt. Just looking at it does not remind you of the rich taste of fish.

For Thor and Asmo, slowly put the stripped body into your mouth.

"Oh, it's always delicious! Is this the taste of sea fish?"

"It is a rich taste that is different from the taste of grilled river fish."

After eating dried fish, Thor and Asmo open their eyes and exclaim.

If you look at the two people who are eating deliciously, you don't want to eat a little here too.

"... I need a bite."

"Oh, hey! There's a lot in your house!"

"I want to eat now even at home! I won't do the last souvenir!"

"A little ginger!"

When I threatened, Thor handed the dried fish reluctantly. By the way, Asmo was trying to carry on even if he died.

Yeah, you can rest assured that you don't expect any shards to get food from Asmo.

Is the dried fish of tall horse mackerel?

I peel off the dried horse mackerel by hand and bring it to my mouth.

When you put it in your mouth, the fragrance of the abundant shore penetrates, and when you chew, the condensed umami of the horse mackerel begins to permeate. The more you bite, the more you can feel the taste of the tide and the horse mackerel.

"It's delicious. This is better than a regular bake when you eat it."

After all, it would be even better if I could swallow this spicy mouth with Kagura sake. Because the compatibility between seafood and Kagura sake is outstanding.

Damn, only the sake and the knobs are stored in the space magic. It's still far from being able to dignify it.

"And Al. What's in the last box!"

When I eat dried horse mackerel, I hit the wooden box just because Thor can't wait.

Asmo touches the wooden box or sniffs it and mutters with a serious expression, such as "Is it cold ...?"

"I see. I'll open the last featured product."

Speaking of that, I open the lid of the wooden box.

In there is the ice that I got into with ice magic. There were many iced fish.

"Uohoo! This is a real sea fish!"

"It's full!"

Thor and Asmo look into the eyes with sparkling eyes.

Small fish are frozen with ice magic, and larger fish are frozen after processing their heads and internal organs. It was frozen instantaneously at minus temperature and stored in a subspace, so its freshness is perfect.

"Hey, look at the dried fish you just picked up.

"No, I know, but it was something different and flat."

Well, it's obvious at a glance which one looks like a fish.

As you look at Thor with a smile, Asmo asks with a serious look.

"... how do you eat this?"

`` Small fish can be grilled and eaten with salt if you do not care about the bones, and medium-sized fish have internal organs, so you can put a kitchen knife from the stomach and take only the body and burn it, Stuffed vegetables and soy sauce base

You can do it. ''

"I see. I see."

"Huh? I don't know what Al says at all?"

Though she doesn't cook at all, she seems to have no image of Asmo, who usually cooks.

"For more information, ask your neighbor Asmo."

I don't feel like cooking too much today. It is troublesome to teach each step here and there.

It's faster to ask Asmo next door.

"Hey, teach me Asmo."

"Kneeling, please tell me how to cook this sullen me. I will think of Asmo-sama."

"Sloppy fucking fat! Who will say that to you!"

"Haha, it's hard to get a fish without even knowing how to cook it.

"Gugugu, it's sneaky to refer to my mother."

Although we know a little about river fish, the ingredients we handle for the first time are nervous. From the point of view of Mura, who is a cook, she would be angry if she hadn't heard it properly.

"I'm sorry. I'm thirsty, so just a little water-oh, it's cool but smells!

Mura opened the window just as she was talking. Mura was surprised at the smell of dried fish, fish, and so on.

"Oh, so I didn't ventilate yet."

"I got used to it and didn't care."

"me too"

"I'm not used to it. Open the window quickly and replace the air! The smell will permeate the room!"

When we are sitting without worrying, Mula enters the living room through the window with a towel on his mouth and opens the indoor window.

"Mother, if it's hot. If it's ventilated, I'll finally do it."

"I'll be late!"

Thor complains, but Mura doesn't hesitate to open the window.

The cold air that has drifted inside the room escapes to the outside, and the air filled with hot air comes in instead.

"What is the smell at all?"

"It's a dried fish that Al has brought."

“Kyu !? What ’s that?”

When Thor picks it out of the vase, Mura screams.

It's a bit grim at first glance because the body is open with the dried fish.

Anyway, we are already familiar with the taste, but it may be a strong shock for Mura, who is new to it.

Knowing Mura's surprise, Thor chases Mura with a smile like a mischievous boy.

"Hehehe, this is a sea fish. Mom should see it for the first time, too? Look at it!"

"Don't stop it! Keep it away! It's awkward!"

"Hahahahaha, if I have this, my mom is not scared!"

I understand the desire to do it, but moderately.

Later, Thor was angry at Mura, of course, and a little smell of dried fish remained in the living room. However, the taste of the dried fish seemed to be popular.
