Chapter 26

When the sun begins to go down, we arrived at the camping point.

I wanted to prepare a meal, but it seems the Knights are in charge of meals.

The ones in charge are the knights Cain-san and Heinz-san.

It appears that the menu is High Orc meat skewer, soup, and hard bread.

Cain-san pours water into a large pot puts a small amount of dehydrated vegetables inside. Soup?

Heinz-san is preparing the skewers. He’s cutting the Hight Orc meat into chunks and stabbing it on skewers…… Fist-sized chunks of meat?

…………… N?

「Please, wait a moment!」

「Tak.u.mi-san, what’s the matter?」

I hesitated to interfere, but…… I can’t overlook this!

I absolutely feel wrong about this……

「I just want to confirm, but…… are you going to put something else in this soup? after boiling it?」

「No, I will just season it with salt afterward!」

「………」

Seriously……

「Are you going to cook meat of that size?」

「Yes!」

「………」

………………

Oh my…… is this normal? It feels like nothing is strange with this……

Nono! Indeed, the meals in『Komadori Pavilion』had a salt-based taste. However, they were appropriately delicious.

This is not normal!

「First, the soup. Aren’t you missing ingredients for the stock? It will only have a salty taste like this… Then, make the meat into a bit smaller pieces, if too little they will easily burn, if too big, they will be underdone」

The people here were saying that the cream bread was delicious. Which means that their palate isn’t misaligned.

So for what reason are they overlooking this?

When I ask Wald-sama and the other knights―――

「We are mostly people who can’t cook, you see」

「Everytime during the camp it’s “as long as we eat” feeling. Dried meat and hard bread are better than soup stock alone」

「It’s because, in this unit, Cain and Heinz make the best meals」

Most of the knights are n.o.blemen. It should be quite reasonable that they can’t cook.

However, since they are n.o.bles they should have refined palates…… they don’t seem to mind.

They probably make a firm line during camping.

After that, I ask the Dragon Breath party―――

「We also always eat dried meat and hard bread」

「Iris? No way, impossible. This fellow can’t cook~mon」

「Rather, this fellow makes hazardous waste」

「………… I can live even without being able to cook!」

I got a similar answer.

Apparently, there is no decent cook.

No, but I’m sorry. I don’t want to eat the meal Cain-san and Heinz-san are going to make.

Besides, I have to pay attention to Allen’s and Elena’s meals. Their malnourished bodies finally started approaching the standard.

Dried meat and hard bread are disagreeable, but I will definitely won’t let them eat a nearly salt water soup and underdone meat!

「Cain-san! Please, finely cut 3~4 pieces of meat and put them into the pot! Heinz-san, please cut all the chunks of meat into 1/4 sizes! I will return right away, so please do it in the meantime!」

I give instructions to Cain-san and Heinz-san without caring for my standing, leave the camping point and enter the forest to gather the necessary things.

Of course, Allen and Elena follow after me.

First, securing the ingredients!

It would be alright to use ingredients from the《Infinite Storage》, but I thought it would be better not to use it in front of the other teams.

Besides, the forest is a treasure house of ingredients. I can gather enough ingredients in a matter of several minutes without having to use the ingredients from《Infinite Storage》.

「I’m back!」

After returning with edible plants and mushrooms in both of my hands, I immediately start cooking.

「This is?」

「Ena gra.s.s and Blue seed. Both are edible plants. And this is Rook mushroom and Petal mushroom. These are edible mushrooms」

「I have seen those at the market」

「That’s right. All of them are common, after all」
