Chapter 14

First Quest,

I entered one of the many weapon shops near the adventurers guild
At the shopkeepers recommendation I brought a short sword at eight gold pieces, as the shopkeeper said it was easy to use even as a beginner
So then, time to go herb picking.
I went out the east gate the closest to my target,and entered the extremely large meadow that is outside.
I think this is where the herb grows.
[well then since I am here to pick herbs, why don’t you go hunting Feru?]
[understood, then I shall put a barrier against evil around master]
[Alrighty then, even If I encounter a demon I should still be safe]
[I also expect a good meal when I get back]
After saying that Feru quickly ran off to the forest
Though I respect him, he is certainly gluttonous
Now is the herb i want here?
Appraisal,Appraisal,Appraisal,Appraisal. (ED: so judgement is appraisal i can change judgement to appraisal or i can keep it as is, it’s up to you guys let me know what you want in comments)
There is only weeds here
Appraisal,Appraisal,Appraisal.
Kiayu grass.
I found it
This Kiayu grass does look strange though,
I then cut the grass from the root
At last the knife I bought after so long was used
Now then, Appraisal, Appraisal, Appraisal, Appraisal.
I again am only finding weeds
Appraisal, Appraisal, Appraisal,
Kiayu grass
I found another
Now after this I only need 3 more,
Well then I will do my best
Appraisal, Appraisal, Appraisal, Appraisal, Appraisal.
Margin Grass
This is the one that matches the other request,
The maju grass is a poor quality
Well I guess I should pick it
After words I continued with Appraisal and totaled 18 kiayu grass and seven maju grass.
Well Feru should be returning soon, so I should start on our lunch,
So I buy a meat from the supermarket for Feru the glutton.
Though I do not know how much he will eat today,
Thus the menu for today was decided (ED: these two lines came out making no sense (this one and the one above), i edited them to what i thought made sense if you think these may be incorrect tell me in the comments)
First from the superarket
One onion, one soup broth cube, 1 kilo of minced meat, a 700 gram bag of pasta and then 10 cans of meat sauce
I spent a total of 5 silver and 4 copper coins from what I got from selling the salt and pepper to the merchants guild.
Pasta only takes takes 5 minutes to cook so for now I only boil the water.
So next is the meat sauce. I fry the onion which I minced finely until it is caramelised
Then I add the meat.
After the meat is cooked I add the sauce.
Because the moisture became low, I dissolved the stock cube in some boiling water and added to the meat.
I adjust the taste with salt and pepper and then the meat sauce come to completion
And then Feru came back
The game he caught was dropped in front of me.
[This dish smells quite nice]
[This, is it a rock bird?]
[I caught it because the teriyaki we had last time was nice, but there is still more at the edge of the forest in a barrier]
As expected only one is the limit Feru can carry.
[Then we should go together and put it in the item box]
I then put the pots and pans, including the food into my item box
I didn’t forget about the rock bird either
[Well then let’s go]
[Get on my back and the time will be much shorter
I mounted Feru without hesitation (ED: hue hue if you know what i mean ;)…)
[then let us go]
[wa, wait a second]
Feru ran away to fast that the only option I had left was to hold on to his back
[Wa please slow down~~~~~~~~~~~]
………………
…………
……
[We have arrived]
[I, I, haa , thought I was going to die]
[what a weak guy to gives up like that]
To run at such a speed is definitely scary
[When I’m with you, you should atleast go slightly slower]
[yes I will remember that, I don’t want master to be sick]
This guy
[oh to say such a thing, maybe you don’t need any food.]
[gununu] (is sound effect of being angry, blood boiling)
[well then we should quickly collect these demon bodies]
The demons that Feru caught has become a pile at the edge of the forest
When I used Appraisal, orc x5 red boa and black serpent
I wonder can I eat the orc
When I asked, he said I could.
Orc is commonly eaten by poorer families in town
It's just like a pig that can walk on two legs
I cook for myself but I only use meat from the supermarket, the meat from another world is scary.
I put everything feru caught in my item box and returned to the meadow riding on the back of feru
This time it was much safer as feru took his time.
[then when will you want lunch?]
[I’m quite hungry, so as soon as possible]
[please wait a minute and I shall cook the pasta]
I then took the 5 minutes to boil the pasta
I put the pasta out on a plate and spread the minced meat and sauce over top
And then passed it onto Feru
[mu, what is this?]
[this is meat sauce spaghetti a popular dish]
When I said that, Feru began to eat like , baku baku
[there is only a small amount of meat, but it still is very good]
Don’t eat it so fast there is still more
I began to boil the next portion of pasta
At that time I also ate my lunch
I ended up boiling pasta for Feru
We ended up eating over 8kg of pasta between the two of us.
Still, eating too much so early is a bit bad
After finishing my lunch I couldn’t help but laugh at Feru who had the meat sauce pasted around his mouth.
Though he then panicked and plunged his head into water
After lunch I returned to herb picking
At the end of the day I had a total of 40 Kiyua grass and 20 maju grass
Though I only needed 5
Appraisal was very helpful
I had become fully accustomed to using it to find what I needed by the time I finished picking herbs.
Feru also caught a lot of game
Another red Boa, three cockatrice, one giant toad and a mad grizzly.(マーダーグリズリー。)
The mad grizzly sounds dangerous
I put It away in the item box
After that I went back to the town on Feru
Though the person at the gate sent a strange look at me who was riding feru
Then should we go to the guild
[feru, to the adventurer guild]
[Understood]
