Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Episode 59 "Night Team"

As they stir up the boiling pot, the trees are scraped apart and the toca return to the camp.

"I'm back.... Nh, you smell spicy, don't you?

"The smell seems delicious"

The two men with the phantom butterfly in their arms seemed to have noticed the smell of moving their noses and standing in the camp quickly.

"Oh, welcome back. We're almost there."

Looking at the fire in the pot, she raised her hands towards the two of them, and they rushed towards us with their mouths open.

"Mr. Reggie, are you making something?

"Do you have cooking skills?

The toca and the lizard come to the area around the cooking table to see the hot pot.

Immediately afterwards, they leaned their necks.

"Um, what is this...?

"Hot water....."

The two of you look up at me in confusion.

As she smiled slowly at the expected reaction, Letty sighed loudly and shrugged her shoulders.

"If it's true, they've made a delicious chicken curry by now."

"Yeah? But this pot only contains hot water."

"What is curry?"

I scratch my head and try to deceive the two sets of eyes pursuing what is going on.

Such an attitude could not have been tolerated, and after all, I explained the situation with a sense of perspective.

"To put it bluntly, curry is still too early for me."

"Because I try curry at zero skill level. I've also lost the meat from the cornered singbird."

In other words, I didn't have enough skill.

A few minutes ago, I prepared the ingredients with pride, and I dismantled the singbird and prepared the chicken, and I threw it into the pot with my chest up....

"Oh, I didn't think it would fail so well."

Because the gauge was 90% and 9% bright red. Rather, why did you think you would succeed? "

The success of cooking is judged by the mini-game score of shaking the pot in a timely fashion according to the cursor that randomly moves the red and yellow stained gauges.

If the cursor shakes the pot at the yellow timing, it will succeed, but the key gauge itself was almost as difficult as a demon called red.

Curry is not easy enough to cook at a skill level of zero.

"Well then, even though the scent of curry still remains, I can't eat curry...."

A toca who drops his shoulders when he hears the story.

She has an impressive appearance, but she looks small and cute when she leans down.

"Mmm, what a disturbing thought."

"What are you talking about? Anyway, don't worry, Toka. You can eat curry."

Leave Letty with the strange words and console Toka.

And I took the item out of the inventory that I thought might happen.

Is that...!?

Toka opens her eyes to surprise.

The neighbor Mikage and Letty were unexpected.

"As long as you have hot water, you can do it in 5 minutes. Well, advances in technology are great."

The pouch is thrown into a boiling pot and said to be stingy.

You don't have to think about cumbersome spice formulations, and you don't have to simmer them for hours.

Really, humans are great...

"Isn't that a retort?

"Whoa!? Don't shout all of a sudden, you surprised me."

Letty shouts directly beside her as she adjusts her pouch position to prevent the water from spilling.

She somehow gets even more excited when she has room for adults.

"Are you sure, Mr. Reggie? I've prepared so many ingredients....."

"But it's all turned dark matter."

If you fail to cook, it turns into a thick, black-black, burning object X.

Of course, all the ingredients used are gone.

"No, but is there no pride?

"My pride makes me swell! You can cook the rice properly."

Behind the gaze was an upside-down lunch box.

Inside there is pure white - perhaps a little burnt - white rice.

Because of the failure to make curry, the rice cooker managed to succeed by adding more or less experience points and reaching level 1, and adjusting the rice box cooker according to the skill level.

"Hey, Toka. Even retorts are delicious."

"Oh, yes. I see....?

Suddenly, she nodded as she was confused.

I looked down at Letty with the attitude of taking the demon's neck.

"... because I eat everything in Toka."

"Hey, Mikage!?

A word of mikage is thrown there, not knowing whether it is backup or rebellion.

"Previously, I drank Blue Juice Coke."

"Hey, Mikage!? What are you doing...."

"Add salt and spicy to the chazuke, sauce in miso soup, mushrooms, and stew on rice."

"Why do you only rap when you're usually silent!

I feel like a merciless brother exposing my sister's strange behavior like running water on a standing board.

No, the last two are not so good...?

"Mushrooms... stew...? Torka-san, I'm really sorry...."

"Better than!? Isn't that great!?

Turn your gaze toward Toka like Letty sees a truly pathetic creature.

That is, her image of Rin...

"Well, I just want to explore new flavors."

It's about time you saw the crying toca and became pathetic to the boulders.

I slap her lightly on the shoulder and smile.

"Here, it's time for curry."

"Gusu. Thank you very much."

Let her hold the plate and carry it to the folding table placed in the tent.

Let the lizards have the lunch box and the curry, and I'll just clean it up and follow.

"I'm sorry we didn't have anything to go on, but let's fill our stomachs for now."

"I didn't think you could eat dinner during the expedition."

While arranging the dishes, Letty said with a gentle expression.

Certainly you can't cook in the field without cooking facilities, and when it comes to what you can eat, it's like portable food.

But for us, the body of the machine in the first place, cooking is like a favorite or an item to buff.

When you eat food, you get a buff that lasts about half a day.

For example, meat-based cooking can increase attack power, or sweets can increase the power of art.

Well, because it's expensive to be effective, there aren't many players who use it.

"It looks like this curry has increased Attack and Movement Speed. Somewhat of both."

"That means you should enjoy eating purely!

Speaking of the seat, the toca with the silver spoon firmly gripped her eyes.

There is no doubt that she is passionate about her food.

"Well, that's the thing. Let's eat."

Make sure everyone is seated and put your hands together.

Gather your voices and start eating together.

The curry was surprisingly delicious even though it was only warmed by hot water.

"That's amazing. It's more than I expected."

It seems that Letty is the same, she has her mouth covered and her eyes round.

"This didn't have to be spiced from scratch."

"Delicious"

The lizard also lays its mask on the side and moves the spoon at a fast pace while making it classy.

But when I look bare, I see two more toca and melon.

Walking around town dressed like her doesn't give me the confidence to tell.

"How about a toca?

"It's so delicious! This is the first time I've eaten food in a game… it's much better than I expected."

Toca, who was moving her mouth silently, rang her throat and sighed.

Her image in me was no longer that of a squirrel filling her cheek pocket in preparation for hibernation.

"But it's only a curry on the royal road. Even if I add an accent here... for example, konyaku..."

Suddenly thinking about Toka.

I feel like I can't wrap up the words that leak from her mouth no matter how nostalgic the curry is...

"Mr. Reggie, do you have a replacement?

"Yeah? I still have pouches and rice, so if it's warm..."

Well then, please!

Yes, sir.

Letty was a steady infinite stomach.

When I'm additionally refilling the water, the toca and the lizard will come.

They catch me, and I put my hand on the second plate.

"Guu, I ate too much..."

And by the end of the night in the jungle, there were four people who fell to their chairs without strength.
