chapter 34
34 – The Night Before the Storm (2)
When I returned, I saw a fox holding a fish.
Hersido grabbed his messy hair and rubbed his eyes.
“When did you wake up?”
Louise asked as she set down her mushroom.
“Just now… “
Hersie said in a voice that was not awake, looked at the mushroom in Ruid’s hand and said,
“Is it a mushroom dish?”
“Today is a little different.”
Ugh, Miho spat fish in front of Ruid. The fish had emerald-colored scales, but they didn’t look appetizing.
“Kyaaak!”
Hersy was belatedly surprised and stepped back.
“Birds, fish.”
He seemed quite surprised.
Ruid said to Miho.
“Can you clean the fish?”
I was asking just in case.
Miho tilted her head.
[Why do I need to clean the fish?]
“…… Done.”
Ruid stretched out her hand in the air and searched the space for her child. Umm, frowning at her, Louis searched for a while and brought out something from her.
“That… ?”
“Irene’s sister’s.”
It was a longsword that looked exactly like ice. It didn’t fit her Louise’s body and she dragged on, but she quickly adjusted to her figure. She became a usable dagger.
Oops!
Ruid grabbed her sword with both of her hands and drew it. She pressed the sheath, which had become smaller, to her floor.
She caught the fish with her left hand and raised the scabbard thinking it was a cutting board. And without hesitation, she struck the sword at the head of the fish.
Knock!
“hehehe… !”
[Gulp.]
Hersy was frightened, and Miho salivated.
Ruid summoned the water element and washed it with a napta before starting to clean the fish.
It was the moment when Ruid’s dozens of part-time jobs in his previous life shined.
Fortunately, the structure of the fish in the other world was the same, so I was able to successfully clean it without much difficulty.
Hersy admired.
“I heard that people in the north enjoy hunting because there is not enough food… It must have been true.”
“Yes.”
Louise gave a rough answer and started to open her sashimi.
Just big enough to put on sushi.
About 10 pieces were completed before I knew it. After sorting it out nicely, I started working on the next one right away.
After summoning the water drops, I put all the mushrooms inside.
“Fox, fire.”
[Yes!]
Miho opened his mouth and breathed fire. Flames enveloped the water droplets. It was just like a dragon’s breath, Ruid thought.
“Keep it until you say yes.”
[Ng.]
The drops of water started to boil, and Ruid nodded her head.
“Enough.”
The fire suddenly stopped. Miho quickly came to Ruid’s side. It was to be praised. Louis petted the fox. Miho rubbed her head and yelped.
“Then now… “
It’s time to make rice.
Ruid took out a well-boiled mushroom. She squeezed the mushroom tightly in her hand, squeezed out the water, and shaped it into a ball, reminiscent of a sushi chef.
Hersy, who had been watching him blankly with her arms wrapped around his knees, suddenly became curious and asked.
“Louid, what kind of food is that?”
[Whoops, they said it was sushi.]
“… Sushi?”
Hersy tilted her head at the unfamiliar name.
[Is this food you’ve never seen before?]
“Yes. It’s the first food I’ve ever seen. Can you explain?”
Miho rolled his tail and lay down.
Ruid stared at me in amazement.
‘Without knowing.’
Anyway, I made sashimi, and there must have been rice. All that was left was wasabi.
‘I have something to replace.’
It reminded me of the faint taste of wasabi. It was definitely a stuffy nose.
‘Food that makes my nose tingle… ‘
Is it because you have the brain of a genius?
A good idea came immediately.
Ruid rummaged through the subspace again. The Windsor Street safe had everything but the missing ones.
I took out what I wanted.
“That… ?”
“It’s sauce.”
“Cow, it doesn’t look like sauce.”
Hersy was taken aback.
What Ruid took out was a certain plant.
The human-like roots are very impressive……
“No, isn’t this Mandragora?”
It was Mandragora.
Ruid looked at Mandragora with her cloudy eyes. Mouth hung over the subject of plants.
‘It looks really tasteless.’
“Kieeaek!”
“Be quiet.”
Pak!
Ruid knocked Mandragora across the face with the palm of her hand.
Hersy covered her ears with a confused expression.
There was a rumor that if you heard Mandragora’s cries, she would die from a runaway magical power.
“That’s a lie, Hersie. As you can see, it looked annoying, so rumors spread about it after seeing a person who fainted in surprise.”
Hersy lowered his hand, blushing.
“… I knew.”
I muttered in a very low voice, but there was no credibility.
Ruid picked the mandragon leaves and collected them. Her torso was tossed into the air like trash in a trash can. The subspace swallowed it up.
“Yeah, but what are you going to do with it? No way.”
Hercy swallowed dry saliva.
Louise plucked her leaves and tore them off and placed them on top of the mushrooms.
Hercy stared at Ruid with blank eyes.
“Aren’t the leaves poisonous… ?”
“That is a lie too.”
This is the truth. Mandragora leaves are very poisonous.
‘As long as it tastes good.’
Ruid used her detox magic lightly to neutralize her poison.
At this rate, your stomach will only hurt a little. She intended to finish eating and use recovery magic.
“First… OK.”
It was very doubtful, but Hercy had no choice but to agree.
Ruid clapped once after finishing the sushi.
“Complete.”
“Thank you… “
Ruid gave Hercy a piece of sushi.
Hersy swallowed a dry saliva and took it carefully.
Bruise-
His eyes were full of distrust.
“Fox.”
[Yes!]
Saliva dripped from Miho’s snout.
“Wait.”
[Yes… ?]
Miho looked at Ruid with a pitiful expression.
Ruid picked up the long-awaited sushi.
‘It must be delicious because I used good ingredients, right?’
Ruid was proud of himself.
Recreating sushi in the Middle Ages?
This is Delrin inlay.
Also, he thought that it must be delicious after he put so much effort into it.
Ruid was about to eat sushi, but stopped.
“You don’t have soy sauce.”
“Soy sauce… What?”
“Wait a minute.”
It was a fully prepared table, but I couldn’t postpone it because there was only soy sauce.
Ruid roughly thought of a substitute for soy sauce.
Soy sauce is salty.
Then, thinking that it would be similar to adding salt to water, she took out a salt shaker.
She sprinkled salt on the sushi, and this time she swallowed it in one bite.
Mumbling.
Ruid’s eyebrows gradually narrowed.
‘As expected, it’s tasteless.’
Hersy laughed awkwardly.
In her own opinion, this couldn’t be tasteless.
I don’t know anything else, but it was a medicine called Mandragora. I put something like that, but it can be delicious…….
“Good taste.”
“Eh?”
Ruid smiled broadly.
“It’s delicious.”
“Is that so?”
“Try Hercy too. Eat the fox too.”
As soon as Louis finished speaking, Miho terribly swallowed her sushi.
“…… !”
The fox opened his eyes wide and stopped chewing.
‘Is it really delicious?’
Seeing that reaction, Hercy glared at the sushi in his hand.
‘It’s something Ruid worked hard to make, but I can’t stop eating it.’
Recalling Louise’s hard work, she closed her eyes and chewed on her mouth.
“How is it?”
Louise was looking at Hercy with her curious eyes.
Hersh shuddered slightly at the intense taste he felt in his mouth.
Soft mushroom texture.
It was chewy with the flesh of the freshly caught ‘Unknown Delrin Lake Fish’.
The mushrooms tasted sweet and the rich mushroom juice filled my mouth.
And the Mandragora leaf stuck in the middle……
It erased all the texture and taste!
“…… !”
Hersy hurriedly covered his nose.
My nose was wrinkled… !
**
“I was delicious.”
Luid looked at Hercy with red eyes and felt a little guilty.
I didn’t consider that the taste of wasabi would be very unfamiliar and intense to people in this world.
Yes, basically, all the food here is bland.
[I liked it too!]
The fox riding on Ruid’s shoulder happily cried ‘Kang’.
Hersy held her nose at the intense taste that still didn’t go away and shed the fox. My eyes were frowning.
“Miho ate fish… !”
The stingy fox flinched.
Actually, after tasting one, I thought it was nothing, so I cleaned the fish and ate the rest.
“You shouldn’t have eaten it if it didn’t suit your taste.”
Intense taste. Two of them tasted like he couldn’t eat them, but Hercy gobbled them up.
It was because I was afraid that Ruid would be disappointed.
He hurriedly removed his hand from her nose and said.
“Oh, no. Me too… It was delicious.”
‘A lie.’
Louis opened her eyes.
She remembers eating sushi like poison.
“Where are you going now?”
Hersy cleared her throat and turned around. Since earlier, Ruid said she had an important business, and she had been walking inside the academy, but she wasn’t telling her where her destination was.
“To find the villain.”
“Yes?”
Louis put his hands in her pockets and gazed at a certain building with a languid view. It was an expert class, a female dormitory.
Originally, the villain in the second episode was, of course, Hercy.
Like a villain, she plays the role of the final boss.
Because she was the one guarding the path to the last library.
Originally, Hercy would not get tired of Justin because of his previous revenge, but-
A group of main characters, a total of 5 people, dig Hercy.
No matter how much Hercy was stronger than average, Dagul had no business.
The episode ends with Justin awakening while receiving the main character buff in the highlight.
Of course, Louis had no intention of involving Hercy in this trivial skit.
‘He’s the only one who can really mess around.’
Louise moved her steps to the girls’ dormitory.
Originally, even if a man only came nearby, he would be showered with water, but when Ruid approached, everyone smiled gently, and no one was wary.
Ruid stood in front of the door, feeling that something was more offensive to her pride.
“Who are you looking for?”
The maid asked with a kind smile.
“I came to report an unscrupulous man who secretly broke into the girls’ dormitory.”
“Yes, yes?”
The embarrassed maid understood Louis’ words and strained her eyes.
“Thank you for the report. By any chance, do you know who his name is?”
The villain in the second episode.
The person who will be hit with a stone instead of Hersy is…….
“Damon Kairos. Are you still inside?”
It was Damon, the crazy prince.
“This body has personally come to bestow grace. Is there any problem?”
Ruid looked up at her sky at her familiar voice. On the third floor railing, Damon looked down with an arrogant face.
“Well, I was just about to find you.”
Damon jumped off the ledge. He landed lightly, put his hands in his pockets, and walked away.
… He had to fasten it, so the buttons were missing one by one.
Above all, he has a very confident attitude even though he was caught doing suspicious things in the female dormitory.
‘As expected, a genius villain.’
Ruid couldn’t help but admire.
