Episode 60
“I will show you.”
I don’t mean to imitate her, but somehow, pretending to have something, I took it out of my bag.
The culinary heart of camping.
“That, that?!”
“What is a fire?”
A generously sized round iron plate.
Usage? It’s obvious.
There is only one reason to bring out such a smooth and hard grill in the great outdoors!
“After all, isn’t it the law to grill meat and open a bottle of wine on a camping trip?”
* * *
For today, I prepared thoroughly.
He practiced his crafting skills over and over again and carefully made the tools necessary for camping, including a grill for grilling meat.
And most importantly meat!
“How hard I went around the market in the islands to get these.”
I took out the meat I had prepared in advance and held it with both hands as if I was worshiping a holy relic, and sighed.
Meat prepared to perfection by skilled butchers.
The meat quality and marbling are also excellent quality products.
At least, it is the meat that I bought by investing the money I had generously for today.
“Because Xian is obsessed with things like this.”
I wish I could burn my desire the other way, Emily complains as she helps with the preparations.
“I don’t know anything else, but after coming to the academy, I decided that I would not save money on food and a place to stay.”
the future of this world? world crisis?
say oh
However, even on that day, I will be elegantly enjoying gourmet food.
After proudly showing off the meat I brought, I hurriedly went outside and prepared to grill.
“I don’t use a boring campfire.”
It is cumbersome to control the fire in a bonfire, and smoke or sparks are unexpectedly inconvenient.
At least not for the ideal camping grill.
What was installed instead was a steel grill.
Literally the romance of camping!
This is a camping grill exclusively for Xian, which was produced by direct request to the academy’s blacksmith class.
“Come to think of it, when Xian requested this, the blacksmiths’ expressions were exquisite, right?”
“… … There won’t be a crazy person who prepares this to grill meat in the practice room.”
However, the camping grill was unavoidable.
More than anything.
Actually, I wanted to try it.
The life of Anshihan in the past… … . I don’t have time to spare, and I don’t have enough money in my bankbook, so what’s the point of doing something like this?
By the time I came to my senses, I was already cleaning this grill diligently.
“No, it’s a surprising obsession… … .”
It may be an incomprehensible obsession for others.
“Anyway, since I prepared it like this, let’s bake it!”
Immediately I set up the grill and started getting ready to start the fire.
I don’t use trivial firewood as firewood for a fire.
After all, the most necessary thing when grilling meat.
“It’s charcoal.”
“Have you prepared charcoal?”
What was additionally brought out was well-roasted charcoal firewood.
The reason Cellidia widened her eyes at this was because charcoal itself was never cheap fuel.
Of course, this is not for firewood, but a handmade product made by me choosing the right wood.
This was because there was charcoal in the list of material items that could be produced at the time of the game.
As a result of a little experimentation, I was excited when I realized that depending on the type of wood used as a material, enough charcoal can be produced that is suitable for barbecue.
“Celidia, light this charcoal.”
“Can I do it?”
“Because the flames of elemental magic are more suitable for cooking than black magic.”
Unfortunately, black magic fires aren’t suitable for camping.
I tried it before, but when I grilled the meat with black salt, it turned black for some reason.
It seems that the food that is being grilled is also dyed black due to the flames that are generated by burning the magi.
Celidia gladly starts a fire on the charcoal I have placed and lights it, and the charcoal starts to burn brilliantly with a bright red flame.
Even the distinctive scent of burning charcoal.
“I look forward to it.”
“huh.”
Celidia also nodded eagerly and took advantage of my eccentricity.
When I told her about this before the practice, she was surprised that it was not common sense, but it was the result of my hard work persuading her.
After checking the condition of the charcoal burning satisfactorily, put a fire on it and wait for it to heat up enough.
“… … It is time to bake.”
Practice in this damn woods.
Chapter 2 scenario that hasn’t happened yet? That kind of thing is good.
The only time I show my sincerity is when I grill carefully selected meat over this wonderful charcoal fire.
When the meat is carefully placed on the heated grill, the sound of fierce cooking and boiling gravy.
It must be delicious, right?
“Delicious!”
“huh!”
Me and Celidia, who quickly sampled the grilled meat, exclaimed at the same time.
Combination of natural air, charcoal fire and meat.
I can confidently say that it is completely different from what I usually eat at home or in a store.
Throw away the fierce survival in the forest and enjoy a luxurious barbecue.
Fortunately, Saint Alpine also willingly joined in as if she liked this extravagant meal.
At first, he was hesitant as if he had witnessed an unusual eccentricity, but soon he could not stand the smell of the meat being grilled, and soon he was grilling his own portion of meat.
“Unexpected.”
“No surprise. Surely Xian didn’t think we lived on only beans or water?”
“No way.”
There is no way that priests don’t know how luxurious the nobles live.
Of course, Alpine would not be that kind of priest.
“There’s no reason why you should be willing to give.”
It’s not that I’m indulging in unnecessary extravagance, I’m just grilling the grill and meat on my own.
There is no reason to pour cold water on the atmosphere.
“It’s more delicious than anything!”
Yes, it is delicious.
“It’s so delicious that I’m worried about tomorrow!”
“Yeah, I wonder what tomorrow will be like if I eat like this.”
“Ah, there’s nothing to worry about, so bake it. If it’s not enough, you can take out more.”
If you play and eat so extravagantly from the first day, you must be worried about the hardships of the rest of the day.
I said confidently that there was no problem.
“I’ll add that I’ve brought enough food for everything I need.”
Originally, when I was preparing for the practice in the Forest of Blood, I literally had to think about how to obtain the necessary food locally.
However, when I received the bag as a gift from Professor Daniel, I didn’t have to worry anymore.
From noble mtl dot com
Maybe half of them knew how to use it like this.
“But wouldn’t this be foul play?”
“Because this is my ability. I used what I had and what I had. It’s not against the rules.”
It’s not even breaking the rules.
Maybe there are guys who do similar things when it comes to food.
Of course, most students will choose the preserved food, so they will never have this luxury.
Above all, the fact that you can open a fire slowly like this is the effect of the monster avoidance option, which is the effect of the base you set up earlier.
Usually, when I’m playing like this, it’s perfect to become a beast or monster food.
“Eat in peace. At least I have planned so that there is no shortage of food and rest.”
To put it bluntly, this is also an arrangement for clearing Chapter 2 of the main scenario in the most ideal way.
“At least I don’t have to spend my mental and physical energy worrying about food or sleeping.”
Most of the other kids have probably forgotten about sleeping and eating by now.
The purpose of this external exercise.
“We’re here to do research and practice, not survival training.”
I just prepared thoroughly to be faithful to my duty in class.
Yes?
As if asking for consent, I put another piece of meat in my mouth and looked up at the sky while mumbling.
There was one thing like a black dot that came and went in the sky as if it was barely out of sight.
Knowing its true identity, I smiled lightly.
* * *
The professors who came to supervise and supervise the freshmen’s outside practice did not interfere with the students at all.
He pitched a garrison tent outside the forest and waited there.
That’s not to say that it’s bystander.
Deliberately stationing outside the forest is not allowed, so as not to inadvertently interfere.
And above all, it is to give students tension.
However, although they did not tell the students, the professors had been aware of the whereabouts of all students active in the forest from the moment this outside practice started.
Not just where you are, but what you’re doing.
Professor Millington claps and admires the skill.
“As expected, it is Professor Richard’s work! To fly dozens of telegrams and figure out the trend of the entire forest.”
“Nothing. The controls are simple and all you have to do is watch.”
Professor Richard Amillen.
His major is alchemy and mechanical research.
Professor Richard explained his skills as if it were nothing special with his eyes closed.
“It was more of a pain to install visual synchronization artifacts in all the telegraph spheres than to manipulate them.”
It was surveillance using the ‘Jeonseogu’, a mail delivery tool commonly used within the academy.
This inorganic bird made of iron and gears is equipped with magic tools for visual synchronization, and several of them are floated in the sky to watch over the forest.
If it is judged that there is a problem with the safety of the student, the professor will intervene immediately according to the discretion and circumstances.
“I was a little worried because they were freshmen, but they seem to be adjusting well in the forest.”
“Hoo… … . Is it all right?”
“It seems that most of the students are discussing the policy of their activities after securing their own base.”
As it was the first day, most of the students were struggling to find a place to stay.
There were some students who finished well, while others were struggling as if they weren’t used to it yet, but the professors didn’t see any big problems.
“Something that stands out… … . hmm? This… … .”
“Is there a problem?”
As if waiting for Professor Richard, who was somewhat muffled, the other professors also refrained from talking and became nervous.
Could it be that the problem started from day one?
Even if it wasn’t, this training had to be scheduled due to quite unreasonable circumstances.
If something goes wrong, not only will the student’s safety be safe, but the professors’ position will also be embarrassing.
“no… … . It’s not for us to intervene. It’s just that I’m quite surprised.”
“What is?”
“It’s unusual. It seems that they used magic from the base, but they built a hut at all.”
“It’s more thorough than skillful. Who are you?”
“… … Cyan, Celidia Milonil, and Alpine.”
After identifying the students, the professor mentioned them by name.
“It must have been Xian that built the base.”
“draft… … .”
“You are a student in that black magic class.”
“Come to think of it, did you contribute to the development of the dark magic scroll?”
“Wasn’t it simply a capacity to assist in research?”
Recently, Xian’s ability has been talked about even among professors, so no one raised a big question.
“The next move is… … . They are grilling meat outside the mansion.”
“… … why?”
“It must be because I have to eat.”
“No, that’s natural, but… … . You don’t usually do that, do you?”
That shouldn’t be a problem.
Prepare as best you can. Even if you bring food in advance and consume it, that is also the student’s talent.
After thinking about it for a bit, Entilon, the department head of the Auror class and the person in charge of this practice, came to a conclusion.
“It doesn’t matter. It’s not about learning camping tips or common sense.”
“… … okay.”
“It doesn’t matter as long as it causes problems with dignity.”
Xi’an’s eccentricity is unquestioned.
Other professors do not particularly object to that decision.
“By the way, what about our meals?”
“… … There is only preserved food.”
A bit of a sad mood.
Especially after hearing about the meals the children are enjoying, somehow the atmosphere calms down a bit.
However, as busy professors, they had no choice but to eat preserved food.
“How about buying some?”
“I don’t have time for that today.”
“… … I guess so.”
It was a time when I was concentrating on keeping an eye on students who were eccentric and struggling.
‘hmm?’
Professor Richard felt uncomfortable.
One jeonseoggu fell.
A giant tree located in the center of the forest.
It was wandering near the huge tree, which people call Blood Tree.
‘Has it been affected by the tree’s miasma?’
The condition of the other precursors was checked, but there were no suspicious circumstances.
If so, I’ll give it a go
Even more so, even if something happens, outstanding professors are waiting here.
Professor Richard assumed that it was because of the relaxed atmosphere from a moment ago, and began to focus on grasping the students’ trends again.
