The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)
Wishes and advice after the festival
One, and one, went home with noisy children and drunk adults, and the festival opened late at night. Me and the village chief came to the beach to drop off the lord.
"That's it for drop-off. It was fun today. Thanks."
"Welcome, I was delighted with the village stuff"
"Right."
Lord with a smile on his face. But here, he flutters for a moment.
"Oops, I think I drank a little too much today...... Mr. Lyoma"
"Yes."
"I'd like to keep you a little drunk before boarding the boat, if you don't mind talking to me?
"Absolutely."
"Thank you, Lord Village Chief."
"Let me be excused here. At this age, the night breeze is cold."
"Well, I'm sorry. Piggu, it won't take long for me to get drunk, so can we all start getting ready for the ship?
"Yes, sir."
The village chief returns to the village, and the four accompanying Pigu and the others leave to prepare the ship.
And only me and the lord were left on the beach.
The lord breathes heavily as only the sound of wind and waves is heard.
"... Phew... it's a pleasant night breeze. Oh, Lyoma, aren't you cold? I see, as you can see, I have this fat, so it's just about right now."
"It's okay. If it's really cold, you can use junction magic."
"Oh, you did."
He grins cheerfully as he rubs his own belly.
"As I said earlier, I really enjoyed it today. And thanks for all the delicious food."
"You're welcome."
"I was obsessed with eating and forgot, but you weren't talking about the reward for the cooking request. Anything you want?
"If you ask me...... but I should have talked about the recipe thing being widely voiced in the realm. Doesn't it also determine the reward?
"To dry ash, a method of cooking three species of fish that had not been eaten as toxic and unsavory. They are also a summary story. The same goes for dumplings, but while I get this much information that could be a new industry, I wonder if the reward would be for one recipe. If the nobles elsewhere find out, they laugh at me for being able to prepare a proper assessment or reward.
And let me be honest with you, it's gonna cost you a lot of money to start something new. I don't mind paying with money, of course, but you don't seem that obsessed with gold, and if it's anything convenient to you, I'd appreciate it. "
Certainly. Before, Mr. Reinhardt and Mr. Piolo used to call technology a treasure.
But I blasted you, lord.
"What I want... now I can think of... oh, do you know exactly what I was saying about cooking poisoned fish and their precautions,"
This time it was safe through a series of appraisal magic by my immense magic and double check of poison slime, and I was able to provide it.
"After all, it's true it's poisonous."
"The villagers should be fully aware of the poison. Even children have been told by their parents about poison. I suddenly find it harder to accept."
Is that true?
Today the festive air was fortunate, although some villagers ate quite a bit...... the most popular of the three toxic species is the eel-like fish. That smelled like dandelion, and Niki said, "When you don't have anything to eat, you eat it with patience," so I think you had less resistance.
The second most popular is the cassava one, and the most poisonous fugue fish dish is still at the bottom of the list with a lot of people just watching it faraway.
It's common sense for people here not to eat eels, cassavas, or fugs, just as people in land other than Fatma territory do not eat octopus or mizugmo (crabs). The older people in particular seemed to have a stronger tendency to do so.
"Of course, this time, those in this village who knew the flavor should be careful, but you also kept an eye on the village chief in the middle of the festival for the first time. … new knowledge and technologies are always dangerous, such as incomprehensibility, recklessness and misuse. But just rejecting it for fear, there is no growth or development.
You have given me the knowledge that has such potential to enrich the lives of the inhabitants at all. Provide and manage the necessary guidance so that the knowledge can be used correctly. It is the business of our exchangers to make rules for this. As a lord, I will teach you how to beware and cook. "
I still felt like I could be trusted by a lord who said it with a serious face.
"Well, this way, please"
Look at him like that, I give him a bunch of paperwork I took out of the item box.
"Is this how poisoned fish are cooked?
"It's a record while I was experimenting. About the fish I called eels, for example. When I observed it, my sharp teeth and bones were similar to another type of fish I knew. The mud removal period is not yet muddy and edible in one day, much less on the second. It's something I was putting together personally.
I explained to the chef how to cook and how to whisk and actually show them, but everything in the experiment is written here. Sometimes I don't need it directly, but it includes things I haven't told the chef, so I was hoping it might help something. "
"That helps!... Unfortunately, I will accept it, but I would have gained more from this. I'm not paying you."
"Ah."
I mean, well, this is all about cooking methods.
"And then... yes! Lord, may I divide a little bamboo that was growing by the hot spring cabin?
But the other day, the lord was talking about tachenocho. Besides, bamboo can also be a material for charcoal grilling and bamboo craftsmanship. A useful plant if used well. The place to plant it would just have to create a dedicated space somewhere in the mine.
With that said, the lord stared at this one for a few seconds and sighed.
"You have no greed... bamboo grows as much as I've seen before. It's something I left out anyway, so you can take it home as long as you want. Is there anything else?
Hmm, then money without difficulty? I don't know... when it comes to something else that might be worth it.
"I heard there are baked goods besides fish that are famous products of Fatma territory."
"Mm-hmm. I can take a lot of clay, too. You want some baked goods?
When I was cooking in the village, there was an earthen pot that seemed user-friendly. I want to buy some of those and go home. Besides, wooden and metal vessels dominate in Giml, so they might be rare when you take them home. Shall I buy some extra and bring it to Mr. Serge's store?
And then if you have good baked goods, you might want to try decorating the shop reception room. Unfortunately, you can tell me that I don't have any art knowledge, so I don't know...
"If that's the case, let's present one of the squirrels in the mansion. It's quite valuable, so you should decorate the store. And then I'll introduce you to the bakery of goodwill, so buy souvenirs and merchandise there. It's a conscientious store, so they'll talk to you about it."
When I told you my thoughts, you were going to be able to arrange them right away!
"Thank you"
"I don't mind. This is a just reward for responding to my request. [M] And Reinhardt asked me to do it."
"That's true, but that's still true"
"Hmm... do you remember what I told you about my relationship with Reinhardt?
"Yes. The lord is Mr. Reinhardt's senior, isn't he? And Mr. Reinhardt, as Reinbach's son, was seen with colored glasses from around him, living a life of disabling."
"Exactly. My father also accomplished the feat of paving the way in this land, but Lord Reinbach's feat far outweighs it. As a successor, he would have been under a lot of pressure. Besides, there are many enemies in the Duke's house (...)"
"Yeah, right"
"The aristocratic society factionally fought over kicking each other down, and such is the everyday tea business. I don't know how much jealousy and jealousy I have."
It's a common story...
"Especially a family called the Duke's. accompanying history and power. Plus the personal merit of our predecessors, Master Reinbach, the covenant with the Divine Beast. At least during his life, there won't be anyone who sells fights from the front... but I've actually been hearing frequent rumors lately that Reinhardt's territory is rough"
"He's a brilliant man. As a student, I was always an honorary student among the top five in any field. And it was several times as hard as others that supported that achievement. He's not... he's not a genius... of course he's incompetent or talented. No, that's not what I'm trying to say."
Like a little lost, and looking at the night sky for a few seconds, the lord begins to speak again while in that state.
"This is not a nobility, it is not a request. Me, it's Porko's personal hope... could you help Reinhardt do as much as possible? He's brilliant, but he can't run the territory on his own. Besides, he's the one who worries and tends to embrace."
"Really?
"? Sounds surprising, huh?
A little... 'Cause I tend to hold onto you, or rely on someone else, rather because I was worried about Mr. Reinhardt.
When I tell him that,
"Bu! Bu haha! Fluff!"
The usual again? Big laugh.
"Oh, I'm sorry. But come on. Well, did he say" rely on others ”? Unlike when I was a student, naturally now, did that embracing habit heal? I used to say that it almost crushed me. No, maybe it's a word from my own experience. Phew."
The lord is a little brighter in the atmosphere and nods with pleasure.
"Phew... don't worry if you have someone you can count on around you. Not if you'll be there. [M] This time, I made a request and found out, but you seem to see things a little differently than we do. And he also has a wide range of knowledge. There's no point in Reinhardt wanting to take it in. If I hadn't been stabbed in the nail with a letter of introduction, it'd be as much as I'd like to hire."
It's an honor. I tried to say,
"But you should be careful."
The lord, who was having fun, turns a blind eye to me from the front and speaks seriously.
"Two requests I made to you. I told you before that they were going to ask you to" listen to the rumors of the wheat tea sage, "right? Even if that's not even known as" Mr. Lyoma, a Giml-based adventurer, "some talk is spreading to the public. If you look into it with interest, you should be able to get information by sending your men to the site to explore, if you want to call one of the semroids, like me.
I'm nail-stabbed by Reinhardt, and I'm not going to ask you what you've been doing root-digging leaf digging... but there are people in the world who easily dye their hands for evil if they step on it when it comes to gold. Even if it's noble, it's not just like me or Reinhardt. "
Said Sarasa, "What have you done so far"... the lord knows more than he has spoken. I feel that way. On top of that, he's giving me some advice.
"Thank you for your advice. I'll be careful."
"Mm-hmm. Because you're close to Reinhardt, you should let him use his powers well"
That said, he stretched out his body greatly,
"Well, it will be time to wake up drunk. Even if it's too long, it's bad for you."
I just said what I wanted to say, lord, to start the return journey.
Maybe you bothered to make time for me to give you advice.
I really appreciate this kind of care.
"Whoa, yeah, Mr. Lyoma. When are you going back to Gimle?
I'm ready for my return trip, and I want to buy souvenirs for all of you in Giml.
The rest was behind us in today's preparations, but we also have to capture Mad Slime.
All combined, I was going to take care of you for a few more days.
However, I am concerned about the story of Mr Reinhardt's rough territory. I leave the management of the store to the trusted Mr. Callum, and the security will be fine because Faye and the others are there... but let's make the appointment faster to the extent that we can't help it.
"I want to be as ready as I can be by tomorrow and leave as early as the day after tomorrow"
"I see. Let's talk to the store that deals with example ceramics first thing tomorrow morning. I'll keep the chips from my house at that time, so I want you to take them there. It's social season at the end of the year, and we have a lot to prepare for."
"I understand. Thank you for your time. Thanks for all your help."
"This was fun. Bye."
The lord, at the end of the day, gave the name of the pottery store, from the pier to the ship.
And I went back across the lake.
