Chapter 75 Let’s Make Delicious Food with Rare Ingredients

While avoiding the arguing adventurers, we descended to the 21st floor.

Then, we saw a meadow that spreads out as far as the eye could see.

The air is so good that it’s hard to believe we are in a dungeon.

I was irritated because we were forced to stop our mining work, but every time I breathe, I feel like my emotions are being purified.

The 21st to 25th floors are meadow areas, and the targets are cow-type monsters.

Among them, the drop items of Green Calf and White Cow are particularly expensive.

「Well, if you let your guard down too much, you’ll be attacked by Red Bulls, Minotaurs, and Ant hordes… and you will become food for the monsters.」

「…… I’ll be careful so that won’t happen. You see, I’ve been wanting to make a stew with green calf meat~」

That’s something to look forward to.

Green Calf’s meat is very tender.

It’s very popular because it doesn’t smell bad and tastes great, but you can’t get this meat without defeating the B-rank boss Orc General on the 15th floor.

""

Also, Green Calfs are good at hiding, so it’s difficult to find them.

Even if you find them, they’ll quickly run away, so it’s almost impossible to hunt them.

As a result, only a very small number of them are available on the market, making it difficult for anyone other than those in power to acquire them.

Green Calfs also exist in the labyrinths outside of the Labyrinth City, but they are all on the lower floors that only high-ranking adventurers can enter….

The meat is hard to get even if you have money, so I haven’t had a chance to taste it since I remembered my past life.

「The milk of the white cow is also tempting. You can drink it as it is, and if you get some ice from the 26th floor, you can make gelato.」

When I was in Japan, I used to make my own gelato to save money, so I remember how to make it.

When I borrowed a cookbook from Nina and tried to learn how to cook, I ended up making dark matter, but… I think it’s going to be okay since I won’t be using fire this time.

I don’t have vanilla beans, but I bring sugar… so I want to make homemade gelato for the first time in a while.

「Onii-sama, what is gelato?」

「I’ve never heard of it either. I don’t think it’s in the recipe book…」

「It’s a delicious cold dessert. I think you two will like it, so I’ll make it for you when I get some ice and milk.」

When I said so, the two children’s eyes lit up.

Even if I ended up making dark matter again, if I tell Nina the recipe, I’m sure she’ll make delicious gelato, so I won’t disappoint them.

「Then, it’s time to move on. This time, Esther will be the vanguard and use the spear. Ian will also be the vanguard and will be in charge of Wind Magic. I and Nina will support you from behind. Then, we’ll switch positions after a while.」

It seems that there are no traps on the 21st to 25th floors, so I can join the fight.

I was mainly a support in the cave area, so I’ll fight a lot here and raise my level!

Green Calf

Rank: D

Skills: Escape 21, Body Strengthening 6, Presence Detection 10, Stealth 3

Red Bull

Rank: B

Skills: Rush 44, Body Strengthening 60, Presence Detection 1

White Cow

Rank: C

Skills: Rush 23, Body Strengthening 30, Presence Detection 7

When we actually fought the cow-type monsters… we found out that they were delicious prey that can be hunted easily.

Red Bulls and White Cows will charge at us, so there’s no need to search for them.

Red Bull’s meat isn’t as popular as Green Calf’s meat, but the price is high enough, so it’s a cost-effective monster.

As for Green Calf… as long as we find it, it’s just a simple task of making full use of Body Strengthening to catch up with it and attack its neck.

Well, it’s easy because it’s us….

If ordinary adventurers were to try to hunt a Green Calf, they will have a hard time finding it, and even if they do find it, it’ll run away and it’ll be hard for them to catch up with it.

It’s no wonder you can’t find the meat on the market….

Nina made a green calf stew.

The meat is so soft that it melts in my mouth, and the sauce is rich and has a deep flavor….

Even just one bite fills my body with a feeling of happiness.

「It’s more delicious than I expected, Onii-sama. Green Calf’s meat is my favorite food, and I often ate it when I was in Rosalta… but I’ve never had a green calf dish with such a deep flavor, even in a restaurant for nobility and royalty.」

「Yes. This taste… I can’t put a price on it. Except for people who are close to us, it would be best to avoid letting anyone eat Nina’s cooking. Those who are blinded by greed might kidnap Nina….」

Even Esther and Ian, who are particular about their food, are shocked at how delicious it is.

The meat itself is delicious, but more than that… Nina’s skill brings out the charm of the ingredients.

「If you praise me that much, then it’s worth the effort! This meat is delicious~」

The scary thing about this girl is that she’s not aware of her own level.

Outstanding cooking skill and cute looks….

As Ian said, Nina might be kidnapped.

It’s going to be difficult to make her aware of herself, so I shouldn’t let her cook in the presence of others.

Or maybe I can just thoroughly raise her level so that she can defend herself.
