Chapter 34
When I returned, I saw a fox with a fish in its mouth.
Hercy also clutched her messy hair and rolled her eyes.
“When did you wake up?”
Ruid asked as he put down the mushrooms.
“Just now…”
Hercy spoke in a sleepy voice as she looked at the mushroom in Ruid’s hand.
“Is this a mushroom dish?”
“Today is a little different.”
Wow, Miho spit out a fish in front of Ruid. The fish had emerald-colored scales, and it looked really appetizing.
“Aaaah!”
Hersy was surprised and took a step back.
“Birds, fish.”
He seemed quite surprised.
Ruid said to Miho.
“Can you even clean fish?”
I was just asking just in case.
Miho tilted her head.
[Why do I need to clean the fish?]
“…That’s it.”
Ruid stretched out his hand into the air and searched subspace. Ruid frowned and searched for a while before pulling out something.
“that…?”
“Irene’s sister’s.”
It was a long sword that looked exactly like ice. It didn’t fit Ruid’s body and was dragging, but it was quickly adjusted to fit his body type. It became a useful dagger.
Boop!
Ruid held the sword with both hands and pulled it out. I pressed the smaller scabbard to the floor.
After catching the fish with his left hand, he raised the sword sheath, thinking it was a cutting board. And without a moment of hesitation, he struck the fish’s head with his sword.
Sigh!
“Hehe…!”
[Gulp.]
Hersi was shocked, and Miho was drooling.
Ruid summoned the water element and swooped in to wash it, then began to prepare the fish.
‘It’s a good thing I got a part-time job at a raw fish restaurant.’
It was a moment when the dozens of part-time jobs Ruid had done in his previous life shined.
Fortunately, the structure of the other world’s fish was the same, so I was able to successfully clean it without much difficulty.
Hercy was impressed.
“I heard that people enjoy hunting in the north because there is not enough food… I guess it was true.”
“huh.”
Ruid answered roughly and began to eat raw fish.
Large enough to be put on sushi.
About 10 pieces were already completed. After arranging them nicely, I immediately started working on the next task.
After summoning a water droplet, I put all the mushrooms inside.
“Fox, fire.”
[Yes!]
Miho opened her mouth and breathed fire. Flames enveloped the water droplets. Ruid thought it was exactly like a dragon’s breath.
“Keep it until you say it’s done.”
[Nng.]
The water droplets began to boil, and Ruid nodded.
“It’s enough now.”
The fire suddenly went out. Miho hurriedly came to Ruid’s side. It was a request for praise. Ruid petted the fox. Miho squeaked, rubbing her head.
“Now then…”
It’s time to make rice.
Ruid took out a well-boiled mushroom. I held the mushroom tightly in my hand, squeezed out the moisture, and shaped it into a ball, reminiscent of a sushi chef.
Hersy, who was watching blankly while holding her knees, suddenly became curious and asked.
“Luid, what kind of food is that?”
[Hehe, he said it was a dish called sushi.]
“…Sushi?”
Hercy tilted her head at the unfamiliar name.
[Is this food you’ve never seen before?]
“Yes. This is my first time seeing food. “Can you explain?”
Miho curled her tail and fell down.
Ruid looked at me in bewilderment.
‘I don’t even know.’
Anyway, I made raw fish, there was rice, and the only thing left was wasabi.
‘What else is there to do?’
It reminded me of the faint taste of wasabi. It definitely felt like my nose was irritated.
‘Food that makes my nose tingle…’
Is it because I have the brains of a genius?
A good idea immediately occurred to me.
Ruid searched through subspace again. Everything was in the Windsor family safe except what was missing.
I took out what I wanted.
“that…?”
“Sauce.”
“Wow, it doesn’t look like sauce.”
Hercy was embarrassed.
What Ruid took out was a certain plant.
The human-shaped roots are very impressive…
“Wow, isn’t this a Mandragora?”
It was Mandragora.
Ruid looked at Mandragora with clouded eyes. I was obsessed with the topic of plants.
‘It looks really tasteless.’
“Keeeeeeek!”
“Quiet.”
Pop!
Ruid struck Mandragora in the face with his palm, knocking him unconscious.
Hercy was covering his ears with a confused expression.
There was a rumor that if you heard Mandragora’s cries, you would die from a runaway magical energy.
“That’s a lie, Hersy. As you can see, he looks so annoying that the rumor spread after seeing someone faint from shock.”
Hercy blushed and lowered his hand.
“…I knew it too.”
It was muttered in a very low voice, but there was no credibility.
Ruid plucked a Mandragora leaf and collected it. The body was thrown into the air like throwing trash in a trash can. Subspace swallowed it up.
“Well, what are you going to do with that? no way.”
Hersi swallowed dry saliva.
Ruid ripped off a leaf and placed it on top of the mushroom.
Hercy looked at Ruid with blank eyes.
“Aren’t the leaves poisonous…?”
“That’s a lie too.”
This is the truth. Mandragora leaves are very poisonous.
‘As long as it tastes good, that’s all.’
Ruid used a bit of detox magic to neutralize the poison.
At this rate, my stomach would only hurt a little. I was planning on finishing my meal and using recovery magic.
“First time… I got it.”
Although it was very suspicious, Hercy had no choice but to accept it.
Ruid finished the sushi and clapped once.
“complete.”
“Thank you…”
Ruid gave Hercy a piece of sushi.
Hersi swallowed dry saliva and took it carefully. The
eyes
were full of disbelief.
“fox.”
[Yes!]
Saliva dripped from Miho’s snout.
“wait.”
[Huh…?]
Miho looked at Ruid with a pitiful expression.
Ruid picked up the sushi he had been looking forward to.
‘It must be delicious because we used good ingredients, right?’
Ruid was proud of himself.
Bringing sushi to life in the Middle Ages?
This is the Delrin Sangam.
Also, I thought that after putting in so much effort, it must be delicious.
Ruid was about to eat sushi, but stopped.
“There is no soy sauce.”
“Soy sauce…?”
“wait a minute.”
Even though the table was fully prepared, I couldn’t put it off just because there was no soy sauce.
Ruid roughly thought of a substitute for soy sauce.
Soy sauce is salty.
Then, I took out the salt shaker with the thought that it would be similar if I mixed salt with water.
I sprinkled salt on the sushi and swallowed it in one gulp.
Mumbling.
Luid’s eyebrows became narrower.
‘As expected, it doesn’t taste good.’
Hercy laughed awkwardly.
In my opinion, this couldn’t possibly be delicious.
If nothing else, it was a medicine called mandragago. I added something like that, but it couldn’t have been more delicious….
“Really delicious.”
“to?”
Ruid smiled broadly.
“delicious.”
“Is that so?”
“Try Hercy too. “Foxes eat too.”
As soon as Ruid finished speaking, Miho swallowed her sushi with horror.
“…!”
The fox opened its eyes wide and stopped chewing.
‘Is it really delicious?’
Seeing that reaction, Hercy glared at the sushi in his hand.
‘Luid worked hard to make it, so I can’t not eat it.’
Thinking about Ruid’s hard work, I closed my eyes and chewed in my mouth.
“how is it?”
Ruid was looking at Hercy with interested eyes.
Hersi trembled slightly at the intense taste he felt in his mouth.
Soft mushroom texture.
It was chewy combined with the skin of the freshly caught ‘Unknown Delrin Lake Fish’.
The mushrooms had a sweet, sweet taste, and the rich mushroom juice filled my mouth.
And the mandragora leaves in the middle…
erased all the texture and taste!
“…!”
Hersi hurriedly covered his nose.
My nose was sore…!
**
“I liked it.”
Ruid felt a little guilty as he looked at Hersy with red eyes.
I failed to consider that the taste of wasabi would be very unfamiliar and strong to people around the world.
That’s because basically all the food here is bland.
[It was delicious for me too!]
The fox on Ruid’s shoulder let out a cheerful ‘Kang’.
Hersi held his nose and looked away from the strong taste that had not yet disappeared. My eyes were sore.
“Miho ate fish…!”
The stinging fox flinched.
In fact, after tasting one, I thought it wasn’t good, so I cleaned the fish and ate the remaining part.
“If it doesn’t suit your taste, you shouldn’t eat it.”
Intense taste. It tasted like I couldn’t eat two, but Hersy ate it all the time.
It was because I was afraid that Ruid would be disappointed.
He quickly removed his hand from his nose and said.
“Oh, no. “Me too… it was delicious.”
‘lie.’
Ruid suddenly opened his eyes.
I remember eating sushi as if it were some poison.
“Where are we going now?”
Hersy cleared his throat and spoke. From a while ago, Ruid was walking inside the academy, saying he had important business to do, but he didn’t tell me where his destination was.
“To find the villain.”
“yes?”
Ruid put his hands in his pockets and looked at a building with a languid gaze. It was an expert class, a women’s dormitory.
The original villain of the second episode was, of course, Hercy.
As a villainess, she plays the role of the final boss.
This is because she was the one guarding the path to the last library.
Originally, Hersy would never get tired of Justin and the like due to her previous revenge, but – a
group of protagonists, a total of 5 people, bully Hersy.
No matter how much Hersy was stronger than average, there was no business in Dagul.
The highlight of the episode ends with Justin awakening as he receives a main character buff.
Of course, Ruid had no intention of involving Hercy in this trivial skit.
‘Of course, he’s the only one who can really mess up.’
Ruid walked into the women’s dormitory.
Normally, if a man came near them, they would shower him with water, but when Ruid approached, everyone just smiled gently and no one was wary.
Ruid stood in front of the door, feeling that something was even more damaging to his pride.
“Who are you looking for?”
The maid asked with a kind smile.
“I came to report an unscrupulous person who secretly broke into the women’s dormitory.”
“yes yes?”
The embarrassed maid understood Ruid’s words and tightened her eyes.
“Thank you for reporting. By any chance, do you know whose name is?”
The villain of the second episode.
The person who would get hit with a rock instead of Hersy is…
“Damon Kairos.” “I guess they’re still inside?”
It was the damn prince, Damon.
“This body personally came to bestow grace. Is there any problem?”
Ruid looked up at the sky at the sound of a familiar voice. On the third floor railing, Damon was looking down with an arrogant look on his face.
“Well, I was already planning to go find you.”
Damon jumped off the railing. He landed lightly, put his hands in his pockets, and trotted over.
…I must have fastened it in a hurry, so the buttons were out of place one by one.
Above all, even though he was caught doing something suspicious in the women’s dormitory, his attitude was very confident.
‘As expected, a genius villain.’
Ruid couldn’t help but be impressed.
