(EP.425)Little Habit #4
425 – Small and Trivial Habits #4
There are times when a person’s happiness is unexpectedly simply met.
Sleep well, dress well, eat well, and sleep well.
Of course, it looks simple, but it is quite difficult. As I go through life, one of those things is missing because I have it.
In that sense, the hunter party did not satisfy most of the above items. In the meantime, if you smell the vibrating ramen in the cave, it’s not strange if you lose your patience.
said the female warrior.
“Don’t look innocent. You did that on purpose. Don’t let the smell escape outside the cave. To eat like a bragging right in front of us who are eating bugs.”
The female warrior must have thought that we ate this way to confuse them. It wasn’t really my intention, but… .
“Let’s exchange the information we have.”
It didn’t seem necessary to sprinkle ashes on the story that went on unintentionally. After all, it’s ramen that I received a box from Leadernoy.
─It’s ramen that only the president can eat in this town… ! But now, Taeonoi and I are no different than siblings, so we take care of them… !
That said, there were quite a lot of ramen in the warehouse of Reed Noi. It has an expiration date, so it would be nice to share some with the villagers. Anyway.
I said.
“I’ll give you three.”
It was when I spread out three fingers. Priestess Miriam, who was boiling the pot from behind, frowned and tried to discourage the female warrior.
“Rene, what are you doing now?”
Was the female warrior’s name Renee? I don’t know if I should say that it fits well or that it doesn’t. Rene, a female warrior, said, refusing Miriam’s disapproval.
“You’ve been eating only grass and shrimp-flavored strange things you don’t know for months. I want to eat real human food now.”
“What a nonsensical coercion… .”
Even the priestess who dissuaded him seemed to be very agitated. It must be difficult to change the heart of Renee, a female warrior who has already made up her mind.
swish.
Priestess Miriam, who had been staring at the female warrior Renee and I and the hunter over there alone in the fire, roasting the caterpillar, finally spoke with a deep sigh.
“Give me ten bags. And, if you have something to wash, give me some. Things like hair oil or hand washing oil. You must have it, right?”
Of course, there are plenty of things like oil and soap.
Even if you give them for free, you have enough of them, but as I have learned from a long time ago, nothing is free in this world. Even if you eat something like that, you will get sick.
A fair transaction is good and there is nothing wrong with it in many ways.
But ten bags are a little over the line. A box of ramen usually contains about 30. We just ate four, so if you give it heat, there’s only half left.
I wondered if this would be a really fair deal, so I asked lightly.
“I want to decide how to negotiate after hearing how great the information you know is.”
It may not have been a big deal if you had high expectations. At that time, the female warrior raised a finger and said with a rather serious expression.
“You guys are going to the Last City, aren’t you? We know the shortcut. I also have a map of the city inside. Would this be enough?”
“Is that really true?”
I thought while asking. This is an unexpected harvest. Shortcuts to the city and maps inside.
As I pondered for a moment, Renee, a female warrior, added a few words as if negotiating.
“You said earlier. There are a lot of monsters around the city, so it might be difficult to enter. That’s right. But if you know the easy way, it’s a different story.”
“It certainly does.”
In my heart, I wanted to trade right away, but I had five colleagues and a wife.
You’d better ask them for their opinions first. It’s called my ramen, but it was originally meant to be shared with them.
“What should I do?”
In response to my question, Mirna asks Renee, the female warrior.
“If you take the shortcut, can you save a few days?”
Shh.
Renee spreads three fingers.
“At least three days. You can save three days with two meals. It is also the safest route. Wouldn’t that be a loss story?”
it’s 3 days
If I could really shorten the time of 3 days, 10 bags of ramen would not be a disappointment. Even if it’s only four bags at a time, it’s 12 bags a day. 36 in 3 days… .
Simple calculations are also beneficial.
Mirna knew it too, and agreed, “I think it’s good.” Narmina and the other girls also expressed their intention by nodding their heads briefly, “I think it’s good too.”
It was a good deal.
I took out oil and soap for hair from the inventory 《Squirrel Storage》 and gave it to them. Of course, it seems more urgent to eat than that now.
“Give me these things.”
Rene wipes away the grass and fruits that were on Priestess Miriam’s cutting board. Renee frowned as she looked at the boiling pot and the bag alternately.
I asked lightly.
“May I help you?”
It is not difficult to cook ramen. However, people who do not know how to boil could waste a precious bag for nothing.
However, they also refused to say, “Okay.” So the two women whined as they looked at the words written on the bag.
It was around the time that I thought it would be good if I could help as well, because I thought that if I stayed like this, I would only throw away precious ramen. The hunter who was grilling the caterpillar on the branch moved.
He stretched out his long arm and grabbed the bag in the hands of his comrades. Then, wanting to look at the words written on it, he opened the bag and dropped the contents into boiling water.
He wasn’t very good at it, but at least he seemed to know how.
Maybe he was watching what I was cooking earlier? As a hunter, he would have good eyesight, so it wouldn’t be strange if he followed me.
He cooked ramen in such an awkward way.
bobble bobble.
Watching the boiling water, he scooped out the broth with a wooden spoon once, drank it, and said, “Um… .” he said and drank like a sick person.
“Rene, bring it.”
“If that’s the case… ?”
“Something red as blood.”
At the hunter’s gloomy voice, the female warrior Renee rummaged through her pockets.
Soon, something like a small potion the size of a thumb was held in the hunter’s hand. After taking the lid off, he squeezed a spoonful of the thick contents inside and added it to the broth.
Soon, a faint tomato flavor spreads into the cave. Have you ever put tomato ketchup in the broth? A hunter’s wild sense may be applied to cooking as well.
Just someone who knows something.

After eating, we each talked and exchanged things we had. Contrary to the first reaction that Renee and Miriam had, when they heard our story, they laughed softly.
“What kind of honeymoon are you going to such a dangerous place? You are not normal either. Of course, not as much as our hunter-san.”
At the words of Priestess Miriam, Elgar said.
“It’s not easy for our Tae-oh to be crazy.”
… What are you fighting about?
Anyway, Elgar especially quickly became friends with the hunters.
Because she has the same sympathy with the female warrior Renee as a fighting game. And it must be because she and Priestess Miriam had a lot in common because they liked pretty and cute things.
While the women were chatting for a while while washing their hands and feet with oil, Mirna, who came up to me and asked:
“Look at the young Lioness. You act like someone you’ve known for a long time. I can’t believe I just roared.”
“Originally… , because it may have been normal.”
“… normal?”
Mirna tilted her head as if she didn’t understand. I actually knew that Elgar joined the hunters party from the middle of the episode.
All the young girls disappeared as villains, but only Elgar survived until the end as the main character’s companion. As you can see, Elgar wasn’t the original villain.
Then Elgar asked.
“So, why are you guys going to that ruined city? What do you have to do there?”
At Elgar’s question, the priest and the warrior looked at each other’s faces. Rene answered with a smile, revealing sharp fangs.
“After a glorious death, to be embraced by the Great Mother Earth.”
“I am for exploration. Just for personal religious reasons. And that man… .”
Priest Miriam’s gaze turned to the hunter whose eyes were closed in the corner. A lot of emotions are reflected in those blue eyes. compassion, sympathy, etc.
“He said it was for revenge. I don’t know any more details than that. In the first place, we didn’t know the man’s name, nor did we know the past—”
Whoops – Miriam smiling. Using honorifics and being full of culture, it somehow resembled Mirna, so I had a good feeling about it.
“But I can’t leave you alone. Somewhere, like a wounded beast. Should I say that it stimulates the maternal love within me? Miss Lioness, do you know this feeling?”
At the priestess’ question, Elgar scratched her cheek.
“You feel maternal love for that monstrous man? I don’t know. Well, there are many things that people like. Rather than that, I feel better after washing like this.”
swish.
Elgar turned her head and said to me.
“I’m thinking of taking a shower here. Guys, go out.”
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, it’s going to be cold outside. Should I go outside now?
Then Narmi said.
“I also wanted to wash. that is great! There is a lot of oil and water, so let’s wash it right now! You said you wanted to wash too.”
“It is, though.”
Shh.
At that moment, the hunter, who was leaning his back against the wall and closing his eyes, stood up. After putting on his hat and leather coat, he went out of the cave.
Have you made room for women?
I had no choice but to follow in his footsteps. The outside of the cave where the foggy breath rises. It reminds me of the days of the military when I was on guard duty in the winter because it was chilly and cold.
“… … .”
The hunter said nothing.
He just looked around with reddish black eyes. Suddenly, I wondered if it was my luck that the time to talk like this with this man came.
“How have you been?”
“… … .”
There is no answer coming back. I know. I’m not a good fit person. Still, I wasn’t going to give up here.
“My hair is completely white. Did you dye it on purpose?”
“winter.”
“Yes?”
“The winter of life has come.”
The man said the above in a Shawn’s voice. To say that the winter of life has come, doesn’t it mean that you are getting older and your hair is dyed white? It was just a little surprising.
“I didn’t know you were that old.”
The hunter was expected to be at least in his thirties, or at most forty. But it would have to be at least the twilight of life to be this white.
the hunter says
“I have lived a lot longer than you think. I have a wife. I also had children.”
match.
The man suddenly clapped his hand.
“No, just forget everything.”
With that, he shut his mouth.
