"Is it time for lunch"

I was heartlessly grass I looked up at the words of such a Hulka.

Looking up at the sky, the sun seen from among the trees is past the middle heavens.

"Yay! It's finally dinner!

Toya, who was working on my side, screams out loud and sits down on the ground.

I rub my stomach, too, and breathe heavily.

I was trying to be unconscious, but you were actually pretty hungry.

Though I've been trying my best to pack my bread, breakfast was pretty early.

"Were you that hungry? I wish I could have told you."

Hulka says, a little shuddered, but Toya laughs bitterly as she sits.

"No, Halka's working hard, but she said it's hard to say if she's dissatisfied. Even though I rely on you."

"I'm not skipping anything else, so you don't have to worry about it... In the meantime, let's all gather firewood and move along the street. It's safer that way."

"Ooh."

There aren't many people around here who come to pick up firewood, and the firewood gathered without taking much time.

Keep moving to the side of the street, we'll get ready for the fire, and Hulka will start looking down at the meat.

"All right. Then my Ignite Ignite will erupt!

I combine firewood and activate Ignite.

Flames like gas burners lit twigs without a fire exit, and slightly thicker branches began to burn quickly.

"No, I did literally erupt a fire... is it more convenient than a lighter?

Toya looks subtle, but you can appreciate it a little bit more, right?

The cheap fire-fighting tools I saw at the grocery store were 'firestones,' and the magic tools that they could be used like lighters were pretty expensive.

If you're a firestone, you need a fire outlet like the fiber that you unraveled as a consumable, and if you don't do it fairly carefully, you're gonna have a hard time setting it on fire, okay?

That's what you can do in a minute, so it's pretty convenient. - I tried to theorize something like that to Toya, but as for Toya, it seems subtle because 'convenient, but plain as magic'.

Well, flashy attack magic feels more like 'whatever magic', but I feel that convenient magic that can be used for this kind of life is more important to actually live.

Realistic stories, how long as you fight as an adventurer, it would only be one time in your life.

Of course, magic that can survive that period would be important.

"Well, we're ready. Is the incineration okay? Then cook yourself."

That's what they handed me from Hulka, a chunk of meat stabbed in the skewer.

Smaller than the palm of the hand, two meats per person about 3 cm thick.

"Add or subtract baking as you like. However, it shall be thoroughly set on fire all the way inside. No Rare. If common sense over there works, was it more than a minute at 75 degrees?

Halka watches out for us as we stab our skewers on the side of the fire.

"By the way, what's common sense over here?

"Eat well through the fire. Nothing scientific, but it's the same."

I don't have a thermometer, and I don't have any experience cooking with these kinds of incinerators, so should I cook them a little longer?

With that in mind, about a few minutes of cooking meat while sometimes turning it upside down, the fat gradually stains out and sounds and smells like juju and delicious.

"Sounds pretty tasty! I've never eaten like this before!

I say as Toya gazes happily at the meat.

Can't you wait, he frequently flips meat over and peeks at Hulka's face?

"Even barbecues are usually iron plates or nets."

Speaking of which, I've never had a skewered barbecue.

Speaking of barbecue imagery, it's a grill when you actually do it...

I mean, that baking method, stabbing vegetables and meat, both on a skewer, probably burns one of them, right?

"I'm sorry I seem happy, but don't expect too much, okay? It's just salt, and I think the meat itself is usually better with pork, right?

Compared to us, who are a little softer, Hulka is watching the meat burn in a calm way.

On second thought, it's the pigs that ate the pigs, isn't it? I mean, is this pork skewer?

"It's all right! Because if you eat it at camp, even watery curry feels delicious!...... hey, is it time to be okay?

"I'm not a kid, so calm down a little bit. Can't help but scorch the surface, can you? If it burns raw inside, it's dangerous."

Then we waited a few more minutes, and we stuck to the meat at the same time as Hulka's forgiveness came out.

"Hot! But delicious" yum "!

"This is more than I imagined..."

The gravy and fat that comes out overflowing when you rub it.

The taste is just simple salt, but is this fat tasty?

It has a good appetizing aroma and flavour. Moreover, the texture of the surface that became crispy and fried by the drops of "dried" fat can not be said to match.

The flesh is a little stiff, but it doesn't give me the feeling that I'm eating meat as much as I struggle to chew it off.

"I thought it might be harder to eat, but it tastes better than I expected. Is the food you're eating good?

"Sure you didn't have the fancy pork that fed you the dongle? Given that, a pig who eats delicious food and also exercises is actually a fancy meat?

"Hmm, you have a way of thinking about saying that. Maybe it would be delicious if it didn't even fail to tighten...... This is going to be a pretty tasty meat if you cut the muscle and soak it in the sauce. I regret the absence of soy sauce or miso..."

Compared to Gashigashi and Toya, who is eating indifferently, Hulka makes such criticisms with modesty.

"I agree. Rice is tolerable, but soy sauce and miso are important. The condiments I usually use, mostly contain either of them. Is that about mayonnaise and ketchup you haven't used?

I say it remembering the contents of the fridge.

I also prefer dressings with soy sauce. I don't really like oil, vinegar, and salt and pepper.

"There's no uster sauce in here either. I don't really use it, though."

"But grilled meat sauce, my favorite dish flavoring, soy sauce and miso are important. Aren't they for sale?

With a sauce of grilled meat, I'm sure I can tolerate some unsavory meats and vegetables.

Instead, that's all I can eat.

"What do you think? I don't know if rice, wheat, or soybeans are ingredients."

"If the taste is similar, I won't bind you to anything else...... can't I make a Hulka?

"You know how to make it, don't you? Because I've helped Grandma before. But I used dry koji fungus at that time."

"Koji fungus... aren't you selling it"

I've never even seen them sell in Japanese supermarkets.

Not to mention the other world. I don't think I can find it.

"For once, it's just knowledge, but I know how to separate koji bacteria, so you can try it when you can afford it financially and you're free. It'll be years, at least, because it's suspicious if we can really do it."

"Well. But there's only hope."

You'll always get tired of eating just salt and herbs, but we'll have to go after them when we can afford them.

For now, this meat is delicious enough.

"Huh, I ate, I ate!... Speaking of which, we're both elves, but we don't like meat or anything like that?

Still one, Haruka turns her jito eyes to Toya, who says that with her eyes on Haruka's meat that remains stung on the ground.

"What? It's not enough? If you want to cook it yourself, you still have it, right?

"No, I just wondered, I'm not saying that... but I'll take the meat"

Toya, who, while in denial, still receives the meat taken down by Hulka, stabs it in the skewer and starts baking it.

I think they had a skewer or a size like a pound steak... because you're an animal man?

You haven't eaten this much before, have you?

In fact, I was eating as much as Toya before I came here, and I'm pretty full at about one and a half of the eating stages.

Hulka... oh, did he cut it a little smaller than we did from the start?

"I don't think my taste has changed, but what about the truth?

"Right...... 'Japanese like fish' in this common sense, I guess' Elves like vegetables' as much as that?

"I see. In a way, I understand well. Then you don't have to worry about your usual meals."

"You know what? Well, when we're done eating Toya, let's pull it up already today."

"Hmm? Are you leaving already? Although the sun is still high."

Some time was taken to prepare and cook the incineration, but it is still bright enough.

I feel a little early to think about taking less than an hour to get back to the city.

"Basically, there's no light, so I have to finish all my errands in the day. Buying and all that. For the first time, let's act sparingly."

Copy that.

Then we waited for Toya to finish eating meat and returned to the city after a short meal break.

◇ ◇ ◇

Not long before the evening, when we returned to the city, we quickly headed to the Adventurer's Guild and asked to buy medicinal herbs.

It was the same sister you dealt with yesterday.

You remembered us, and when you entered the guild, you noticed us and invited us.

As prompted, when Toya placed the bag she had on the counter, her sister peered inside and circled her eyes.

"Well! You've taken a lot for a long time. I'll check it out. Just a minute."

Your sister took the bag she gave her and once she pulled it into the backyard, she returned with only an empty bag after about a few minutes.

"Yes, it was all fine. Please wait a moment for the calculation. It's Rookie, so I was a little worried."

Smile as you go and return the bag to Hulka.

"Really?

"Yeah. For once, I'll briefly explain to the first time I get a request to collect herbs, because a lot of people don't listen to me, and sometimes I get pointless stuff. For example, just the weed bain leaves."

"Heh, really?"

Weedbain.

It is a herb that Toya's appraisal found necessary root.

Without the appraisal, we would have been 'Rookie not listening to that' too.

Hulka's gaze swimming slightly would also be irresistible.

"Well, I thought you were studying that, too, and I wouldn't pay attention to it beforehand"

Really good.

If I did badly because of "study," we'd be in Nojuku today.

"But the Hulkas made no mistake, and that's an elf.... Speaking of which, you haven't collected Weedbain, have you?

"Yeah, because I don't have the tools to dig back now, and it takes time. If you can afford it, go after it."

"Really? As you may know, thick roots - something thicker than a large thumb sells higher, so you can make money if you're good, right? Well, if you only get thin roots, you can earn less for what you need time to dig back."

Yes, I didn't know.

Without the appraisal, Weedbain didn't even know that he needed root.

"Thank you. Is there anything else that looks good at this time of year?

"Right, is it the fruit of the dindle at this time of year"

Your sister thinks for a second and tells you as she takes one book from under the counter and opens one of the pages.

"I need to get a little behind the woods around here, so Rookie doesn't have much to recommend... Especially for those who can't grasp their power."

You do, don't you? We all snort at our sister smiling in the wind that

It went well today, but we're not so far behind the woods as trying to get right from tomorrow. At least as long as Hulka is around.... Toya's a little dangerous.

"Dindle, as you can see in this painting, is a red nut with a big clenching fist, a bit of a fine fruit that can be eaten as is and dried"

The illustrations in the drawings are fruits like apples and tomatoes.

The explanatory part reads "Naru" raw at the end of a tree that has grown more than 5 meters high.

However, "5 meters" is just called "at least," and they say the dindle tree that actually grows will be dozens of meters.

"However, as you can see here, it's raw near the top of a fairly tall tree, so if you're not good at climbing trees, you can't pick it. Luckily, Mr. Hulka's party is better with two elves, and I think it would be pretty good if we could climb it, because it would be 100 to 300 rare each."

Expensive!?

At the buying price. Then maybe the selling price will be over Rs 500 a piece.

It's about the size of a small apple for that price... it's like an expensive mango for the price.

If you can reap more than one harvest, you're likely to make enough money, and you might want to try it.

"Ah, looks like you've finished your calculations"

When we looked up at your sister's voice as she glanced at the drawings, someone from behind the counter was giving your sister a tray with money on it.

"Er, that's 8,730 rare in total. Amazing! No one makes so much money from herbs alone, do they?

"Really?

Haruka snaps her neck at her sister, who tells her to be surprised.

Even though we had help, we're not familiar with the distribution of herbs separately.

If this is the first time we've done this, I feel like we could make more money if we're used to it.

"Yeah. By the time Rookie gets used to herb collection, she'll be shifting to more earned requests. If it's good to make a lot of money, I think it's relatively safe to make money by becoming a herb collector, because many young people dream of a thousand bucks just for adventurers..."

I'm a sister who smiles bitterly like I'm in a bit of trouble, but thanks to the absence of such a person, we can make money, too, so in a way, I might be grateful.

"So is it okay to buy again in the future? I've picked quite a few today."

"Yes, it is. I basically dry it and use it, so it's pretty good to store. Besides, like I said, no one uses herb collection as their main focus."

"I understand. Okay, we'll do our best tomorrow. And then I hunted the task bore, can I buy it?

"Yes, the fangs and fur are here, and the meat buys a little more directly to the butcher. If it's too much trouble, I'll buy it here."

"Then just fangs and fur, please"

"Copy that. One moment, please."

When Hulka prompted me to put the bag with the skin and fangs I had on the counter, your sister went back to the backyard again with it and came back with the money after a while.

"Confirmed. It was a pretty big size with no scratches, so the two will add up to 3,500. May I?

"Yes."

"I understand. So, this is the price, right? - But it's amazing. How did you defeat him?

Surprisingly look at us behind you as you give your money to Hulka.

To look at the gaze, 'awesome' would mean our gear that doesn't even have a decent sword.

Well, you're not an adventurer's gear on the outside.

Cloth clothes for all, weapons only Toya's wooden sword.

But if it's RPG for the game, it's like this at first.... No, think normally, the game is weirder.

"It's..."

"Here's what I did, stick a wooden sword in the pig's eye, and I stopped him from breathing!

Toya suddenly pinches her mouth, shows off her wooden sword and stretches her chest.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, who

Your sister's a sweetheart, but she doesn't have a beast ear, does she?

"That's only because of Nao's magic cover, isn't it? - Oh, excuse me. I'll introduce you at last. Toya is the one straining his chest about this pig over here, and the elf behind him is Nao.

Basically it's our style for Toya to stand in front and me and Nao to cover. I'm sure Hulka and I will continue to negotiate, thank you. "

"It's Nao. Best regards,"

"It's Toya! Greetings!"

Referred by Hulka, he smiled as friendly as possible and bowed his head to me, while Toya's put a ni smile on his face and gently raised his hand.

Toya, is that character making?

In a way, it suits you, but isn't it a little rude?

My sister laughed and interpreted my thoughts elsewhere.

"This is polite. I'm Diora. My main job is the desk work, so I think I will see you relatively well, thank you."

I mean, I just work at a desk like this, and I can't smile when I'm about Toya, but Toya, I'm not being polite with Friendly, okay? Let's put it right later.

It's a big problem that affects survival for us who don't know the world, like the likeness of our sister at the desk drops.

Then, sister - again, we asked Diola about her recommended butcher shop, and we stopped there on our way back to the inn and sold all the meat we had left.

It was a little unfortunate because the meat cooked in the incineration was quite delicious, but there was just no art of preserving it. If it was left behind poorly and even addicted to food, it would mean nothing.

Sometimes Hulka was good and there was a good amount of pork, and he even told me to sell the pork at the price there and bring it if I ever had a chance in the future.

Then head straight back to "Sleepy Bear," this time collectively securing a room for a few days.

At least this eliminates the possibility of getting lost in the streets for a few days.

The relief was enormous, and the three of us sat back on the bed as we entered the room, sighing in relief, all aligned.

Honestly, if you're evil, you'll only have critical funds!
