219 Chapter 15-5 Dried and Smoked

"So, can I have this?

"Buhi no!

The one I got from the baby, that's The Dragon Egg Shell. Namitalow's story is that dragon babies eat the egg shell they were in right after birth, but like this Behemoth baby, they don't want to eat the shell every once in a while.

"I don't know what it can be used for, but I'll be grateful."

I can't think of any use for it, but if it were also an ancient dragon egg shell, it would definitely come with the price of a breaking...... I just couldn't remember what happened to the Solomon egg shell, but I guess I ate it without leaving it because it was about Solomon.

"Well, let me borrow your dimension bag. Look, Bon says hello, too, Yikes. Ahhh!

"No, no, no!

As Namitaro tried to put his chest fin on his head to greet the baby, the baby seemed to dislike being touched by the Namitaro he didn't like, and he chewed on Namitaro's chest fin as much as he wanted.

"Oh, oh... Nami's, Nami's beautiful fin, even if it's missing... well, okay. You'll grow up soon enough."

Saying such an easy-going thing, Namitalow put the baby in a dimension bag and boarded the carriage that Mr. Cliff would drive. Take a carriage to the nearby river from the King's Capital. For once, I prepared food for the duration of the trip, but I don't know how much the baby would eat, so Namitaro was strained when I procured it locally whenever I could.

"If you want to! See, Bon too."

"Bibby!"

Namitaloh was followed by an ultrasound of a name that the baby would also say hello. Thanks to this, the Marias, who stayed with Jeanne and Amur on the doorstep at the drop off, were suffering simultaneously with their ears blocked. Well, the one who suffered the most was Namitalow, then Mr. Cliff... the two horses who suffered the most would be the ones to pull the carriage. They were pretty good Gatai horses, but they passed out standing on the baby's ultrasound. Fortunately, the horse didn't get hurt and didn't do any damage around him because he passed out shortly after the rampage. At my behest, it must have been nice for Golem to have gone to support him. But it's also true that the horse who can pull the carriage is gone because of it. So,

"I have no choice. If this happens, I'll take you in Ryden."

I was supposed to say. I guess I should have done that from the beginning, but when I took him, the baby could have gutted again, so I asked Mr. Cliff.

"I'm sorry this happened despite taking it on once"

Mr. Cliff seemed to flutter because of the ultrasound and regretted not being able to drive the carriage.

The baby, which I found I could be with a little longer, was producing less of an ultrasound of joy, but was pushed into the back of the bag by Namitaro and shut his mouth, so it didn't do as much damage as it did at first.

"Well, I'll tell you something. Sularin, Shiloumal, Solomon, and finally a walk?

With that said, the three got into the carriage in turn. Following that, Amur and Jeanne also tried to get in, but declined because a baby trapped in a bag forced her neck out and showed her a scheme to intimidate her. Instead,

"Tama, you want to go with me? And Mary and Allie? And Joubeye and Hiro?

Rarely, the balls wanted to go outside. Sometimes I tried to take him, but the Juubeys couldn't get in the carriage, so it was a trip in a dimension bag.

"From here, we can swim to the sea. Hey, come back!

"Bibi ~ ~!"

As soon as the baby's greeting was over, Namitaro dived into the water and swimmed down the river.

"Every time, when Namitaro comes, don't make a scene. Let's start with the fish collection."

After the Namitalows left, the baby's last ultrasound caused the fish to float on one side of the river.

"Solomon is on perimeter alert from the sky, Shiloumal uses his nose and legs to escort the Juubeys, and Slalin uses me to retrieve the fish"

Instructions were given to each of them to put the Juubeys and Mary Allie outside. I don't think I would lose to demons and animals around the King's Capital if I had Jubeye, but to be honest, I'm more afraid of adventurers than that. From the side, superb prey is walking. Just in case you know that the Juubeys have their owners, but with superb prey like a white haired buffalo in front of them, some of them will be excited and unaware, and if they become the bad ones, they can ignore the collar even if they notice it, and attack them by saying they didn't realize it was an 'alien species' or something.

"I'll alert the Shilowmals and watch out for me, but don't go too far, but as soon as you feel something strange, you're gonna have to raise your voice and run away, either with me or by Joubeye."

When I told Tama to tell Mary Allie, I don't know if she understood, but all three of them came back to squeal. And ran straight into the grass. I'm just worried, so I put out a few golems and got a little more alert.

"Then don't even ask for Jubeye. Well, there's no point in being too alert and stressed out, so much so."

"Bumo!"

Jubeye said, "Let it be!" I replied forcefully, "so I decided to head to collect the fish.

"Looks like you've recovered and run away. Slalin, ignore the muddy smell, we're going to capture it from the yummy looking guy!

That being said, I floated into space in the 'Flying Sky' and Slalin formed on a large rock that was nearby.

"This sounds like a fellow mass. Is this Haya? Let the huna get away, the carp... let's make sure."

Magically put water in the dimension bag and fish in there.

"Catfish are secure. Next... Whoa! Eel, get it! Slalin, if you have this elongated one, get him as a priority."

Screaming at Slalin, he was making a circle with his tentacles. Such slurrins are reaching out their tentacles from the rocks to catch fish on the water. I could see some archaeologist overlapping with such a slurrin.

Me and Slalin caught the obvious dizzy fish, we checked the type of fish again, sorted it into what we needed to mud out and what we didn't, put the mud out necessary fish in a dimension bag with water in it, washed it lightly, then strangled it, and put it in a magic bag.

"That's it. And then, you want to relax while you're vigilant around... hmm?

I even went up to the roof of the carriage because the fish relationship was over, and when I thought I'd see it, like the balls did, I heard the foot of a horse running this way from a distance. I've decided to use 'appraisal' to find out who it is because Shiloumal is noticing faster and more on alert than I realize, so it's possible to intercept him in case he gets attacked, but it can also mean he's just running nearby. Then,

"Did I just say that someone I know... Well, should we just be on guard for once? Jubeye, bring everyone over here!

"Bumo!"

I don't think so, but I gave instructions to keep it in my dimension bag just in case, as I may have to point my sword at the Juubeys for some sort of detachment. And

"Those there, do what... excuse me!

"Immediately, I will call the captain (...)!

The knight (...), who has been trying to question me in a strong tone, hurried to get the person responsible when he realizes who I am. And who has been responsible for this for a while...

"Primera, long time no see"

"Yeah, it's been a while. By the way, what was Mr. Tenma doing here?

"No, I work around Wang Du and Seigen, so I guess that's one of my lines, huh?

I'm not going to hide or deceive anything, but it wouldn't be unusual for Primera, a member of the Knights of Gunjo City, to lead his men and come as close to the King's Capital as I think of the adventurer, rather than me in the meadow near the King's Capital.

"No, well, yes... once I was a knight, there was something called confidentiality..."

"You sure do. I was walking the Juubeys when I dropped off Namitaro."

The Primeras would have let the Juubeys go outside because they didn't have to worry about causing harm, but Juubeye and Hiro were in formation between the Knights and the Tamas behind the Primeras so as to protect Tama and Mary Allie, who were jumping out of their bags and playing around.

"Uh-huh... we're on our way to Wang Du on a mission, so please excuse us here"

After a light conversation, Primera laughed bitterly when she saw Juubeye and Hiro, slowly stepping back and running her horse to the King's Capital on a path as far away from the balls as possible.

"Look, as you can see, the Primeras have gone, so take it easy with the Juubeys"

Where the Primeras were out of sight, the Juubeys finally lifted their guard and started eating grass as they looked at the balls.

"Do you want to look around and see if there's anything interesting?"

I just walked around in such a light mood......

"Really, it's not in anything!

Though I expected, I found nothing.

"Well, by the time I caught the fish, I guess there was nothing left to gain"

That's what I decided, and I decided it was time to go back to the mansion. But...

"Mary and Tama are too energetic."

It took a little while because the two of them ran around reluctantly to leave. Ultimately, Mary was taken from Slalin's tentacles, and Tama returned to her bag angry with Jubeye and Hiro. By the way, Allie came to me as soon as she called. All the while the two were on the run, Allie slept heavily in her bag, but she was forced to wake up by twitching her head into the stomach where Mary was caught.

"Are you finally home? It's late, I was worried something might have happened."

Back at the mansion, Maria and the others had already left, and Grandpa, who said he was worried, was relaxing in the dining room.

"With that said, I met Primera in the meadow. He didn't tell me more about it with confidentiality or anything, but it looks like he came to King's Capital on a Knights assignment."

"Well... so maybe I'll come with the Duke or Albert soon. By the way, what is Tenma doing?"

As I was serving and washing the smaller fish in the kitchen, Grandpa glanced at me intriguingly.

"During your breakup with the Namitalows, your baby will give you another ultrasound. The fish fainted and floated on the water under the influence, and it was fun and a big fisherman. If I save it with a magic bag, I can solve the problem of freshness, but I thought I'd make something else."

I'm going to prepare for it now, but my grandfather doesn't seem to be willing to help if I explain it. Instead, he had grabbed a few washed fish and started preparing baked fish to make them into liquor dishes.

"Smells good..."

"True...... ah! Tenma, were you coming back?

Apparently, a bunch of women (except Mr. Chris) were out there reacting to the smell of their grandfather's baking fish when he came into the dining room. Jeanne had noticed me immediately, but Amur had noticed me in Jeanne's voice after walking near Grandpa (Smell).

"Dear Tenma, what are you making?

"Is there anything I can do to help?

Aura and Leni, who came in late, approached me to help me with my work... Unlike Leni, who is looking at me, Aura found out that she was distracted by the baked fish (smell).

Jeanne and Amur, who noticed Aura and Mr. Leni trying to help with the work, also asked if they had any work of their own but no more hasty work, so they decided to have the grilled fish for dinner baked appropriately. While explaining Jeanne and the others' work, Aura and Leni waited after putting on the apron and washing their hands.

"Aura remove the scales and guts of the little fish over here and leave them soaked in this salt water. Leni, please put this mass on three."

When they gave Aura an order and asked Mr. Leni, they nodded and started working. It's just that Aura asks herself and Leni what they do and says, "Just my job, won't it stink? He said," What would Eina say if she heard you let Mr. Leni do the toughest job? "And when I whine," Come on, let's stick it out!, "he was plainly misleading. By the way, I didn't let Jeanne do Mr. Leni's job simply because of the difference in skill in judging fish.

"Before Mr. Leni finishes judging, we need to make smoked seasoning liquid"

Since smoking is to be made with the first fish, it was decided to make a simple one, not using herbs or other condiments (somule liquid).

"Do you want to try the liquor, water, salt and sugar, and then the pepper"

Even if this fails, it won't mean you can do something so bad that you can't eat it.

"Mr. Tenma, we're done here, so I'll help you with the little fish."

Before the seasoning cooled, Mr. Leni finished judging the mass and moved on to help Aura. Mr. Leni's handiness did not change when he became a small fish, and the pile of small fish before treatment instantly dwindled. And

"That's it."

Eventually, Mr. Leni, who came in to help along the way, handled more than half the pile of small fish. I magically cooled the seasoning liquid and after marinating the mass fillets I went in to help too, but I couldn't handle a fifth of the mountain.

"If you're dried, soak it in salt water for a while, and let it dry, you're done. Smokers, if things go well, maybe the day after tomorrow. 7 Bring me Jeanne, Amur, and some roasted fish."

When I asked the two of them to bring baked fish, I saved all of that (...) in a magic bag. However, there was something my grandfather didn't try to let go of for his knob, so instead I decided that there was no dried food and smoking. Well, the next moment I said that, I had offered baked fish other than what I was eating right now, so I withdrew my remarks.

"Now you're ready for tonight. All I need is rice, miso soup and pickles."

The rest is enough on my own, so I decided to ask everyone to do what they wanted...

"Tenma, is it time to eat?

"Exactly not yet... So, Master Tenma, is it about an hour later?

"No, I don't think I can do it for an hour."

"Right. The dried food was originally made for preservation, so you have to dry it somewhat."

Nobody tried to get out of the dining room to see if you cared about the dried food put on the monkey. That was the same for my grandfather, and when he asked me if I could eat Amur, I could see him standing tight listening.

"I don't know if it tastes good, but why don't you just use magic to dry it for what you serve for dinner"

Losing Amur and Aura's (and Grandpa's) gaze, I decided to try to make dried goods with the magic of wind and fire.

"It's just dangerous to use the magic of fire in the mansion, so let's go out to the garden"

In case anything should happen, I suggested I try to make some dried food in the garden and left the dining room, but by the time I got to the garden I had added not only four + grandpa, but even Slalin and Shiloumal and Solomon. And because the slurrins are there, or Tama is here, and Tama is there, so Jubeye and Hiro are also here to see how things are going, and because they're all gone, or Mary's bringing in Allie who looks sleepy. And

"Oops! Gohohohohoho..."

Mary greeted Aura instead and fed her head to the stomach.

"Mary, Tama, I'm going to make some dried food now, so don't get dusty."

"Te, tenma, dear... me, of, worried, is..."

Aura said something, but it's the usual thing, so I decided to ignore it. It's more important than that that Mary and Tama don't ruin the dry stuff.

"Okay here, let the windy rock and foundation out, dry net... no, so put the net up on the foundation... that's it"

The foundation was ready, so at the end he sprinkled water and dust all around him, and began to use the magic of wind and fire.

"I hope you can do this"

I'd prefer natural drying if I thought about the effort, but let's just say I think it's a workout or experiment today. How to send warm winds using the magic of wind and fire...... magic that can be called 'warm wind magic' but it is surprisingly difficult to try. When the wind is strong, it doesn't get warm, and most importantly, the dries fly away. Conversely, when the fire is strong, it will be like steaming, and you won't be able to dry it. Incorrect balance can result in 'strong winds', or 'hot winds', or in the worst case, 'flame radiation', not 'warm winds'.

"Next time, teach Amy or Teeda how to train"

If it doesn't even become 'flamethrowing', it will only be strong or hot winds, so maybe it's a good way to practice.

When I told Grandpa about it, Grandpa was in favor of it, too, so he decided to call the two of them soon.

"Nevertheless, Tenma is clever. I'm not able to sustain the wind at just the right temperature while talking... but normally I can't stay focused."

When an hour or so had passed since I started having 'warm winds', my grandfather said that.

"When you get used to it, you just keep doing the same thing later. Sensibly, does it feel like running while talking?

A complicated course would be difficult, but I don't think it's uncommon for people to be able to keep running while chatting about the same course.

"When they do say that, there doesn't seem to be anything you can't do. Instead, you might not be able to concentrate alone."

"But you can never do it for someone who can't. Even if Aura was a master of magic, she would definitely poke somewhere"

"Right. Aura might be distracted by the chatter and stop the magic, blow up the dry stuff, or burn a side of the field."

"stuffy...... I want to deny it, but I can't deny it"

To Amur and Jeanne's poisonous tongue, Aura seemed to regret it but admitted it herself. Sure, if you think of it among the three, Aura doesn't seem the most apt.

"Isn't it about time?

Where the laughter had come to a paragraph, I decided to stop the magic and see how the dried food was. From what I saw, there seemed to be no problem, so I used fire magic on the spot to taste it, but there was no particular problem with the taste.

"I think this is it"

Turning what I tasted to everyone, I lost my fish in an instant. The remaining bones were fitted by Shiloumal and Solomon, who had their heads shiloumal, otherwise Solomon was getting them.

"Slurrin, eat the little one"

When we gave the missed slurrin a small dried food, Shiloumal and Solomon lined up behind the slurrin to get it themselves, but we had less to eat so we put up with it.

"First"

"Is it a little less flavorful compared to what I got for a southern souvenir?

"Maybe there's a fish difference too?

"Given the ingredients and the way they are made, I don't think it's bad, but compared to what's sold in the south, the flavor drops."

The three Amurs were reluctant, but Mr. Leni was clearly appreciative. Well, nobody disagreed with serving this evening because we don't have a problem eating for ourselves.

"Hmm? You sound like a customer."

When I retrieved the dried goods and tried to return to the mansion, I could see that someone had come because the golem had moved out at the gate. By the way, Golem makes it simple that I know him, so I also found out that Golem was at least the person who judged him to be someone else.

"You're going for a minute"

Aura went to deal with it and immediately kept the guests waiting to come back.

"Dear Tenma, they say it's a letter from the Duke of Sanga's house. If I could, I would like to get back to you as soon as possible, so the butler will have to wait a little longer."

"Okay."

When I received the letter and read the contents, it was like, 'I want to visit soon, so tell me a convenient day'. I usually wondered if something had happened even though I didn't care about that, but for now I told the butler the afternoon after tomorrow.

"This has never happened before, so maybe something went wrong... by the way, why not tomorrow, the afternoon after tomorrow?

Grandpa also seemed concerned that the Duke of Sanga had bothered to use the butler to write to him, but it felt like he had said something like that. Because it seemed more concerned with the day I designated it than that.

"No, it's too steep tomorrow, and most importantly, tomorrow, we have to make smoke"

When I said that, Grandpa looked like he was frightened, but at the end of the day, he said, "That's not important either," and laughed.
