Isaac's "I want pine mushrooms" wasn't a lie.

After lunch, take five knights dressed in light clothes to the woods.

They're here anyway.

I want to eat what I took myself.

Two local hunters lead the way into the mountains a few kilometers away.

(Speaking of which, in my previous life, I went taco hunting with my family when I was a kid. I've never been out with a family like that in my life. Will hunting start hunting chickens and animals, even if it's hunting?

It's good to have gained momentum, but it's hard to walk in the woods with kids' feet.

Isaac was thinking about that while being carried by one of the knights.

After a short walk, the hunter stops his leg.

"Hmm, sounds like it's around here. There it is, there it is. Boy, this is pine mushroom."

A hunter points to the roots of a tree.

No one blames him for his language.

If words do not include the colour of contempt, no one cares about the language of the civilian population or anything else.

Because only educated people or those who routinely deal with the visible can use the salutation.

- It's weirder to ask your hunter to educate you.

That seemed to be common sense in this world.

I don't care because Isaac knew about this as knowledge either.

"Oh so many..."

Isaac asks the knight to drop him off and Kakon looks down at the pine mushrooms.

There are about 10 pine mushrooms ranging in size from 5 cm to 10 cm.

"Go deeper. Oh, there's more growing. I don't want to go deep with noble boys, so just be patient around here."

The hunter looks around at the roots of nearby trees as he talks.

But Isaac doesn't want any more.

(Wow, pine mushrooms. Domestic pine mushrooms! There's a bunch of them.)

Isaac smells when he pulls out a pine mushroom.

(Wow, it smells like instant sucking! No, this isn't where you tense up......)

In previous life, the fragrance I've only smelled with instant sucking and cooked rice ingredients.

The tension rises when I smell it, but soon after I realized that I had never eaten in my previous life, the tension drops.

"What do we do? For once, I brought you a net, but you want to bake it and eat it? You want me to take it home?

"Eat here!

I got fresh pine mushrooms.

At any rate, I'd like to taste it in the unique air of the forest.

After lunch, Isaac chose to eat here.

"Well, I'll build a foundation."

One of the hunters begins to soil between the trees and the trees, in a slightly open place.

He made a dirt mountain in the form of a 'C' and put a net on top of it.

I wonder what simple Kama looks like.

Another hunter picks up a dead branch.

Seeing that, two knights remain in Isaac's escort, while the other three help pick up branches.

They have also experienced about picking up firewood in outdoor exercises, etc.

Besides, not interested in pine mushrooms, they wanted to get it done fast.

I wanted Isaac to eat pine mushrooms and be satisfied and just go home.

So I'm taking the initiative to help.

The hunters were handy.

To some extent, when the fuelled dead branches were gathered, they folded into the size of the body and removed the scrap-like object from the sachet lowered to the waist.

I guess I'll use it as an igniter.

Isaac is impressed to see him lit up something like scraps with a firestone.

(Probably faster than lighting it with a lighter)

When I went camping with my friends in my previous life, I went with the feeling that "charcoal and lighters would be fine," and I remember having a hard time setting it on fire.

Even though camp lover Watanabe was pretty then, he managed it with something he picked up locally.

I feel like the barbecue was delicious for a long time.

(I think he's going to be able to live well even if he's reborn to a peasant in another world. After all, a piece of art is important)

Isaac was thinking of that as he watched the pine mushrooms being thinly sliced and roasted.

But the idea is immediately interrupted.

Because the roasted pine mushroom emitted its fragrance all the time.

"The aroma of pine mushrooms...... Yeah, it smells delicious."

"Eh."

"What?"

Knight surprised by Isaac's line.

Isaac was surprised that he was surprised.

The gaze of the two intersects.

"You don't like this smell?

"Uh, that's right.... because I usually smell it"

The knight seems spicy to say.

"Where are you sniffing?

Knight exchanges sights with other knights.

But the first surprised knight has a gaze that says, "You tell him."

"It smells like steamy underwear..."

Isaac is going to eat it, so it seemed pretty spicy to say.

But when they ask for answers, they have no choice but to answer.

A hunter hears the knight's answer and carries out the pursuit.

"The smell is strong, and the taste is bad. He's the only one who wants to eat something habitual with a knob of booze. And then you're hungry enough in the woods to eat when there's nothing to eat."

"That's right..."

Isaac is once again in a culture shock.

When people say this around me, all those cane and looking forward to it, the pine mushrooms seem worthless somewhere.

"Well, if you don't try it, you won't know."

"That's right. I think it's time."

The hunter stabs the pine mushrooms on the skewer, which he thinks have been roasted, and offers them to Isaac.

When Isaac tried to receive it, one of the knights received it first from the side.

"Mushroom relationships are dangerous when they are poisonous, so I will poison them first."

"What, ah. Right. Then please."

I had forgotten myself, but Isaac was the heir to the Marquis.

You can't eat mushrooms that were growing in the woods without even poisoning them.

I ate your deposit, but I'm patient here.

The knight hesitated a little, but wandered through the pine mushrooms thoughtfully.

"Gho."

"Hey, you okay?

I just chewed it a few times and threw out the pine mushrooms.

Seeing as that, the other knight offers a water bottle.

I rinsed my mouth several times with water. A knight reports to Isaac with a face that looks painful.

"Dear Isaac. Maybe it's not poison, but I thought I should stop this..."

"Didn't it taste so good?

"Yes, the smell gets stronger every time I bite it, what an uncomfortable scent thrusting through my nose... He seemed to have socks in his mouth after the midsummer march."

…………

So far, Isaac gets anxious, too.

It smells good from the pine mushrooms that are still roasted.

But he can't help but smell like a human being in this country.

The body now belongs to man in this country.

I might be disappointed if I ate it.

"No, I've come this far. I'll try it."

Isaac reaches for the pine mushrooms the knight has in his hand.

He says he will eat it.

There's no better way to stop a knight than without poison.

Hand Isaac the skewer.

(Smells good though)

Close the pine mushroom to your face and smell it several times.

I'm used to flavoring this world, so I'm worried about how it would feel if I put it in my mouth.

I just wonder if it would be better not to eat it with a good image of pine mushrooms like this.

"Oh, good smell. May I join you, please?

Surprisingly, a woman's voice comes from nearby.

The knights as Isaac stared at the pine mushrooms and watched how they were doing delayed their reaction.

When I saw those who heard voices, there was a girl dressed in hemp like a ropeman.

Is it ponytail with blonde hair and is the year around fifteen years old for humans?

If it has characteristics, it means it has long ears.

He is carrying a bow and lowering the arrow barrel to his waist.

"It's an elf!

One of the knights makes a sad scream.

In response to that voice, everyone pulls out their swords and stands between Isaac and the elf girl.

"Eh, hey"

The elf girl wanders around.

Suddenly the sword was pointed at him.

I can't help but be confused.

Try to escape immediately.

"Wait! Stop! Put your sword away!

Isaac stops the knight.

I don't strike because I have orders, but I have no sign of putting my sword away.

"Elves are dangerous! Run first."

"What we're all doing is more dangerous. You can start a war! Put your sword away!

Now I command you in a strong tone.

- It triggers a war.

Put away the sword reluctantly with that one word.

But I'm not convinced.

"Elves and I have had no interaction for 200 years. It's between killing and getting killed. Please stand back because it's dangerous."

The knight advises Isaac to flee.

This is a natural advance as far as he is concerned.

But Isaac didn't accept it.

"It's okay. There's a good reason for that."

Isaac points to the elf girl.

"She has bows and arrows, and I hear the elves can use powerful magic. If you're going to attack, you're going to be shooting from afar."

Next, point to the pine mushroom.

"I wonder if I could join you, I've been calling. You were going to eat pine mushrooms with me. No hostility toward her."

And at the end of the day, point to the hunter.

"Above all, they didn't show a bare gesture to alert her. I mean, local people. That contact with elves is not uncommon, at least for hunters. It proves," Just because we meet doesn't mean we're gonna kill each other. "

The knights are breathtaking in Isaac's explanation.

Because we were only afraid and trying to fight, whereas Isaac was calmly judging the situation.

In a way, I was even thinking that Isaac, with that knowledge and guts, might be more terrifying.

But for Isaac, contact with the elves is not surprising.

In things like games, comics, and cartoons, they generally make me a human ally.

Rather than being horrible, he said, "Whoa, I could see you even though you're rare. Lucky" only to the extent.

That's why I stayed calm.

"The boy is right. We see each other in the woods once in a while."

"It also exchanges salt and prey"

I assured Isaac that the hunters were right.

The knights loosen their guard just a little.

Seeing how it goes, Isaac strokes his chest down in a ho.

"Okay? If you harm her here, you will cause the Elf to retaliate. In that case, the people who suffer the most are the inhabitants. Please calm down."

"As strange as it is to be able to calm down in this situation..."

One of the knights told Isaac.

Though he was a child and didn't know the world, Isaac's calm just seemed unusual.

"You're afraid because you don't know who they are. At least, he's been speaking to me amicably. Let's start with a dialogue. Sister, I'm sorry I surprised you. Want to talk a little while we eat pine mushrooms together here?

Isaac speaks to the girl with her bow pointed this way, hiding behind a tree a little further away.

"What the hell, you guys?"

With the bow and arrow in his hand, the girl slowly came out of the shade of the tree.

Suddenly the sword was pointed at him.

I can't help but be vigilant.

"I am Isaac, son of Randolph, Marquis Welrod. To the big mess, he's the grandson of a human boss who rules this neighborhood. So they were surprised by the presence they met for the first time, too, and turned their swords to protect me. I apologize on behalf of you. I'm so sorry."

Isaac bows his head deeply.

Angle is ninety degrees.

Sadly, it is an angle that we have become accustomed to lowering to our customers in previous lives.

You can't just make Isaac apologize.

The knights also apologized verbally and bowed their heads.

Seeing that, I think my guard has faded.

"I'm sorry to hear from you all of a sudden when there were people I didn't even know. I'm sorry. I'm Bridget."

Bridget also released the arrow from the bow.

"Are you in contact with humans from time to time?

Isaac asks Bridget a question.

Otherwise, you shouldn't suddenly speak up at ease.

"Occasionally. If you're having trouble starting your own fire, you can borrow it."

(You're a troublesome guy...)

I felt Bridget's response that way.

Two hundred years ago humans were at war against elves and dwarves.

It should be alienated since the war ended and a truce agreement was reached.

Other elves may also be in contact with humans.

But Isaac wondered how it would be to make contact because it would be troublesome to start a fire.

For one thing, they decided to give up the roasted and scorched pine mushrooms and talk while roasting the new ones.

"If you're an elf, why don't you just magically burn it?

The human wizard is dominated by those who carry out therapeutic activities in the church.

Isaac, a healthy body, didn't get to see it.

Isaac tried to show me the magic because it was a blame opportunity.

That prompted me to shake this topic.

"It's easy to turn it into burnt charcoal, but it's hard to keep it tight over low heat."

"Even elves are hard to magic."

Isaac's words inspired pride?

Bridget made a few excuses.

"People just have different specialties. I'm good at water and dirt, but I just don't like fire."

"Heh. It's not like I can do anything. Just because magic works..."

So Isaac came up with one thing.

(I can use magic. You mean you can do things you can't do normally.)

"What's going on?

I look strangely at Isaac, who has shut up while Bridget is talking.

"Hey, Mr. Bridget. Can you turn dirt into stone?

"You can do that. Making walls of houses out of dirt and magically turning them into stone is what you normally do."

Bridget's answer shivers Isaac.

Not fear, not cold.

A tremor of joy.

"Well, then, let me make this much stone. It's about 1cm thick for now, flatten it as much as you can."

Isaac drew a square of 10 cm square on the ground.

"Nothing good..."

Bridget lays her hands over each other, even though she seems strange.

"On Kakabi Samma Ai Sowaka"

When Bridget uttered the word, a square plate could be made that instantly pressed and solidified the soil.

Isaac holds the board in his hand and tries to tap it gently.

For what it's made of dirt, it looks pretty solid.

"Mr. Bridget. What's magic now?

"It's a spell that works on the earth. How's that satisfying?

Seeing Isaac's surprise, Bridget has an understated chest.

But Isaac is not surprised by magic and its consequences.

I was surprised by the spell.

(That was like a god lord or a boy chanting... I'm not sure.)

Isaac was somewhat surprised by the kind of spell he'd heard on TV.

Because I thought I'd use horizontal magic, like more "Fire" or "Earth Quake".

(Fantasy image smashing)

Was it set in the game?

Or because it's not set up, I don't know if this has happened with the right settings.

I'm just a little dissapointed.

"Hey, why don't you try cracking this?

Refreshing his mind, Isaac hands the board to one of the knights.

I'll take care of it.

When the knight placed the board on the ground, he stepped on it as he wished with his heel.

But it doesn't crack.

I have no choice, so I try to sharpen it with a knife, but to the extent that I can finally sharpen it a little.

It wasn't going to crack easily.

"Mr. Bridget. Depth 1m, width 10m. With so much width and depth, how far can you go like that plate?

"Um, maybe 100 steps"

"Well, 100 steps. Is that as much as you can do every day?

"Yes, I am."

Bridget's answer was satisfactory.

(Even as 100 m, 1 km if there are ten elves; 100 km in 100 days. Isn't this big?)

Isaac's “Bridget's cute” or “first contact with an elf” is flying out of his mind.

Now I'm full of heads about "NEXCO Wellrod”.

Even if you don't take my side, if you do road maintenance as a earner worker, that will inspire you to bring in great power.

"They're exchanging salt with the hunters, but do the elves have anything else they want?

It only generates hostility, such as unilateral requests for cooperation.

Give them what they want first.

Gathering information for that purpose.

"I don't know, a pot or something. I've been trading salt for dwarves, but I've been trading for humans for about a hundred years now because it's far away. I knew it would be easier to trade for people nearby."

"I see, I see"

Many things can be read from current information.

Among other things, bartering with local humans for centuries is a huge gain.

I can't trade with people who lived during the war two hundred years ago.

But I see a willingness to compromise and make a deal if you're not the person who fought directly.

Which means Isaac has room for negotiation, too.

I don't know how much reward you need, but I have some money.

It is possible to pay a salary.

The idea of alliing aristocracy by infrastructure development becomes realistic.

(When that happens, next year...... can't do that)

I tried to negotiate after the beginning of the year, but next year my grandfather will be sitting in the King's Capital as Foreign Affairs Minister.

If it is important to deal with a heterogeneous race, you will need to have your grandfather, the official lord, give you a leg, rather than the father acting as lord.

(... are you okay?

Isaac gets anxious.

Even if you can forgive me for going to Tilly Hill, can you forgive me for hiring elves to develop infrastructure and sell things?

But Isaac shook off his anxiety.

I wouldn't know unless I tried everything.

Besides, it's the first time I've seen the results.

"Mr. Bridget. Could you please tell the representatives of the elves, in ten to two weeks' time, if they can discuss the resumption of human interaction?

"Yeah, it's good... Something's going to piss me off..."

Is it like tacit understanding to come into contact with humans in this way?

Bridget looks disgusted.

"I'm ready to be pissed off, too. Even if it didn't work, I would send the messenger to the woods saying it was canceled. Please."

Isaac begs you from the bottom of his heart.

There's a big difference between having the help of an elf and not having one.

Desperate because my life hangs.

The thought was also conveyed to Bridget.

"I get it. But you can't. You're the one who started it."

"Yes, thank you"

Bridget reaches out to Isaac, who smiles.

Isaac shook that hand back.

"No, I'm not. It means I need salt to sprinkle on the pine mushrooms."

"Yeah, that way!

Soon the pine mushrooms seem to be baking good.

When Isaac is also given a stung skewer of pine mushrooms, he feels there.

I dropped the skewers on the ground earlier, so this is my first experience with pine mushrooms.

Breathe, slightly cool and rash.

"Something fuzzy..."

For the fragrance, the taste was ordinary mushrooms.

For what I expected, I'm disappointed.

"Aromatic pine mushrooms, flavored shimeji,"

Bridget enjoys the scent and eats it with a sprinkle of salt.

Isaac also imitated and sprinkled the salt, but I can't wipe the itch.

(Somebody, give me some soy sauce)

I still feel that instant sucking tastes better.

The pine mushrooms were disappointing.

For that matter, Isaac could only hope that he would at least interact well with the elves.
