Today I am coming to the forest of Wang Dunan, the forest of Saul.

Apparently, the Third Knights are regularly crusading demons around the King's Capital, and they were planning to continue on an expedition to the Gosh Forest to the west, here in Saul Forest.

Originally, they don't have to go crusading with the Knights that often, but in the last few years, they haven't been able to make it in time with previous frequencies, and they're out crusading one after another.

Well, the [rite of the Virgin's summons] has summoned the Virgin, so it seems that the situation will gradually get better.

Come on, Ai Liang.

So, this time, the expedition is accompanied by researchers from the Institute of Medicinal Plants.

There are various herbs in the woods that are not found in herbal gardens, in order to collect them.

It would be outrageous if the researchers, who were nothing but footprints, were to participate in the Knights' crusade, but they were allowed to accompany them by saying thank you for helping the Knights' captain the other day.

I was planning on making a relaxing potion at the lab, but I was the one who used the herb the most, so the director asked me to participate.

"Hey, don't go too far."

When I found the herb I was looking for a little off the road and tried to take it, Jude noticed me from behind.

I picked the herb and went back to Jude to get an extra novel.

"It's not like the forest is calmer than the west forest, but there are no demons. If you want to leave, you have to say a word and then leave."

"Sorry. Sorry."

They say the southern forest only gives out demons weaker than the western forest, but not at all.

So I know I have to be careful, but I can't feel the Japanese, and if I find what I'm looking for, I'm going to flutter.

"I'll be fine as long as I'm not too far away because I'm watching it right"

Laughing all the time, it was the captain who spoke from behind the two of them.

Currently, the Knights and the Fellows are acting apart in three squads.

Because it's more efficient. What, me and Jude are getting into the squad of the captain.

They don't usually have a captain accompanying them to the south woods, and this time they talk about knights because we're here or specially accompanying them.

I am somewhat sorry to say thank you.

"Thank you. And I think you're pretty much in the back, but you don't get demons."

That's right.

I think it's already been two hours since I went into the woods, but I haven't encountered a demon once.

Is this what it usually is?

I think so, and when I ask the captain a question, he doesn't.

"No, normally it's not strange that I've already encountered it a few times..."

"Really?"

"Oh, it's unusual not to run into this far"

With that said, the captain did a little thinking and spoke to the other knights.

Um, is there something?

I hope there's not a powerful demon like Salamander out there all of a sudden.

With that in mind, I headed to the rendezvous point with the other squads as I picked the herbs growing on the side of the road.

There's a place in the woods that's a little open, and after rendezvous with the rest of the squad there, it's scheduled for lunch.

"Yummy!"

Lunch venue where everyone meets.

When I hear my voice raise that it's delicious here and there, it means it's worth the help.

The story was that the Knights would do the lunch preparations, but there was no way I wouldn't help as I was worried about the food situation in this world.

The soup I made with herbs I don't normally use seemed popular.

"There were rumors that the Medicinal Plant Institute's dining room was delicious, but maybe you're making it?

"No, as much as I provided the recipe, the cook usually makes it better"

"I envy you always having such a delicious meal"

That's what you're saying, Captain.

As a result of the morning crusade, the knights and the researchers seem to have been quite able to unravel it, and the captain is sitting next to me as I sit with my thoughts solidified.

On the other side of it, I'm the only fellow who's been thrown into the consolidation of all the executive roles, with Mr. Deputy Commander sitting on it.

Jude?

I tried to get involved, but they got away.

Remember later.

"I heard you put a lot of herbs in this soup, but you're warmer than usual. Is there a herb that works like that?

"Yeah, that's right. Today's soup has…"

It was mainly with the captain, but in between, other knights spoke up, or were often asked about the herbs to be used for cooking, and it was all exciting.

It did not seem common in this world to use herbs for cooking.

Especially when it comes to herbs used to cook alcoholic beverages.

It's delicious when you put it in a sausage, isn't it?

Like that, he blossomed into culinary rigging, crusading in the afternoon and returning to the royal palace in the evening.

A week since the crusade.

This past week has been a little rough.

There was a little noise in the post-lunch crusade.

As always, my squad did not encounter demons, but things happened in other squads that encountered demons.

The knights in every squad seemed to have improved their physical abilities than usual.

I realized that because the demons could crusade lightly.

When we talked about what the cause was, it was lunch that went up first.

Unlike usual, the soup contained herbs.

So, is this herb the cause?

To find out about it, I cooked, ate and researched under various conditions at the lab this past week.

That's what I'm going to eat all day instead of morning, noon and evening plus a night meal.

I can't digest on the boulder alone, and I'm asking the researchers and the knights of the Third Knights to cooperate.

As a result, it was found that eating certain dishes made by people with culinary skills improves their physical abilities.

Cooking skills seem to be the skills most of the cooks in the cafeteria have.

And, of course, the cook at our lab.

And sometime I had one, too.

This is why the knights seem to have improved their physical abilities during that crusade.

Of course, it wasn't just the knights who improved their physical abilities, but the researchers who rarely moved their bodies didn't seem to realize it.

Actually, that wasn't the only reason I realized it.

The quintessential curse exerted when making potions seemed to have worked here as well, and the dishes I made were more effective than those made by the dining room cook.

As a result, the effect appears to be noticeable and noticeable.

Of course, it goes without saying that the Director banned me from cooking in public in the future.
