Me and Rike, who cleaned up the neighborhood early, and Kurl, who came out of the cabin, welcomed everyone. Except for Helen, who looks fine, but Helen looks a little tired.
"Looks like you've driven your prey around quite a long distance."
I spoke to Helen laughing. Lucy came running over to me, so I'm gonna keep stroking your head. A wolf, but I would have hung out hunting all day today, you're physically fit.
"I'm tired...... Why is everybody all right?"
Meanwhile, out of strength, Helen stumbled onto the ground and let her mouth snap.
"Thermia lived in this forest, and Liddy was an elf and she was originally familiar with the forest, and it's been a while since she lived here. Besides, it doesn't look like you have the strength to do it."
When I say it, Liddy, who was by my side at some point, pounds me gently in the back. Compared to Deanna's, who's going to scrape off her shoulder's HP, there's nothing to say.
"Deanna... you know very well.
Deanna's got a wheel on Liddy, too, and she's got a lot of strength in her daily routine. Before I had a bow, I had momentum.
"It was..."
Helen, saying so, fell asleep with a gobble as it was.
"Adapted, I hope you say."
Deanna also points her mouth at the obstinate wind, but it erupts quickly. And the laughter of the family and the chirping of Krull and Lucy surround me.
"Come on, let's dust it off and make it dinner"
There was a voice in favor of my words, and we went back home.
The next morning, we all head to the lake. I know we all have enough manpower on the job to make our way, but, well, it's like a light picnic.
Thermia is cracking her nose on the road. You wondered, and Lucy is all over it.
"Hmm, I knew you were getting closer"
"Rain."
"Yeah. Tomorrow around."
Lucy rang One to match Thermia's answer. Deanna hugs her and strokes her head around and Lucy's tail is bungled.
Does the rainy season start around tomorrow? I should say that the preparation was critical and on time, but if anything is missing, I can only manage to endure about this year's rainy season.
"Isn't there a rainy season in the north?
"No, I do. Things will be different this rainy season. This one's been sitting around for a long time."
Hypohumidity is one of the characteristics of Asia (as the original world put it). Even here, the area known as the "North” tends to be humid. Because the climate strongly affects culture, it is normal for the climate in Japanese-style areas to be similar.
"Atai's never been north either."
That's what Helen said with her hands behind her head. If you've never been in Helen, the former mercenary who would go everywhere number one among us, you've probably never been in our family.
"Some noblemen used to visit us from the north."
It was Deanna who said so. There will be many visitors from foreign countries if it is the Count's house. No wonder there are visitors from the North among them.
"Were you wearing unusual clothes?
"Yeah, right. When I was a little girl, I remember it very well because it was unusual clothes."
I don't have to say "kamiyagi" to travel long distances to the boulder, but I might have worn it long or short on a kama-like "kamama" or even a feather.
I wouldn't have worn armor before I visited.
"Is that what Eizo said, too?
As for Thermia, I don't know what you asked me about, but I was born in modern Japan and I didn't get that chance to wear Japanese clothes from myself. The bar mitzvah was also a suit.
However, since my grandfather was a Japanese clother, when I went to my grandfather's house, I was dressed in yukata (I think, but maybe it was a kimono for children).
"Um, my grandfather once put me on, but my house preferred southern-style clothes..."
That's what I decided to answer. It's not a whole lie. Thermia looked surprised for a moment, but seemed convinced immediately.
"I might want to go once if I can. To your hometown."
Such a voice, not sure who said it, suddenly melted and flowed in the breeze that blew.
When I saw the deer sinking in the lake, I shouted out unexpectedly. I've pulled up about two meters of deer before, but this guy's even bigger than that.
They say the heraldica will be about 3 meters in the previous world, but loosely it looks like there will be 4 meters.
"Didn't you? I had a hard time."
Thermia proudly breasted and Hunce and his nose also said roughly.
"This is the size of it, so it took you a while to finish it off."
Deanna says that, and Helen reminds you of the situation, blues your face.
"It's not the Lord of the Woods, is it?
"No way. The deer don't."
From the words of Thermia, it sounds like there's a forest lord if it's not a deer, but let's just leave it at that.
I can brace the rope on the big deer and tie it to the krull as well. Krull took a powerful step after snorting loudly to show his motivation.
Even her just seems to be struggling a little, and as usual she doesn't go with Swiss, but she pulled it up without catching on.
We'll help and ride to the carriage where the Liquettes cut trees and kept them while Krull pulled them up.
Even though the whole family has the power, the deer are heavy with Zuri. I know there is meat itself, but there is also a large amount of fur, or hair, for which the body is large, so naturally the amount of water stained there increases, and the amount is likely to be cracked to weight.
A "crew" roared a wagon with a deer on it, pulling it in an exhilarating manner. This kid really likes to pull.
When I get home, I hang it in a tree and skin it. The weight also interrupted the lifting, and since it was big, we split it it between four people instead of two, but the work itself was able to finish smoothly.
He looked satisfied when he stroked the krull and praised him, but he got tired of the boulder, and then he went back to his cabin.
"If this is all I have, I really won't be in trouble for a while."
The deer, which were large, are commensurate with their size, and there is a considerable amount, even if only meat. If this is what you get to say from time to time, maybe you should seriously consider creating a smoked cabin.
Just cook and eat normally at noon. It was cooked and chilled without flavor on Lucy. They worked hard yesterday (just running around basically, but just being there is enough), so I gave them a thick, bigger meat for the reward.
She kept waving her tail as she was eating.
And at night, I actually soaked the diluted venison in a mixture of soy sauce, miso, and liquor (although it's not sake) during the day.
When I put that in a hot frying pan, I hear the sound of saying ju and the fragrant smell spreads around. Mmm, it's a familiar smell.
"That's an unusual smell"
Liddy, who was approaching the back at some point, said as she peered in.
"It's miso and soy sauce. They're both made of soy and wheat."
"That's right. It looks delicious to me."
It's not vegetarianism because it's an elf, but if you ask me one way or the other, maybe it's the right condiment for her to say she likes vegetables slightly better.
Time to say it was time to do it, everyone got on the table. Today's menu is a deer miso grill and unfermented bread and vegetable soup.
The Japanese-style menu is abruptly misplaced. I wasn't sure whether to tailor the vegetable soup to miso soup, but I didn't know if it would suit everyone's mouth, so I stopped taking it. I want to challenge Camilo when he gets a kelp or bonito sooner or later.
Ask how everyone is doing, but the smell seems fine for now. I find it intolerable for people who can't because it must be fermented food, but fortunately, no one in our family falls under it.
Everyone but me carries miso roasts to their mouths and chews the mogi.
"What do you say?
I asked terribly. It has been the first time in decades since the announcement of the passing of the qualification exam that I have been in such a mood.
"Good!"
It was Thermia who shouted. Everyone else is snorting at you.
"The salt is a little strong, but it's delicious."
It was Deanna who followed, and it seems to be generally well received by everyone else. I whipped my chest down.
I'll put one in my mouth, too. I felt enough miso and soy sauce, although some flavourings were insufficient. That's enough for me.
Oh, I resent the lack of rice. It should be in the north, but when it comes to transporting it this far, how much will it cost? I'll have to ask Camilo this one of these days.
Afterwards, over dinner, we celebrated with stories of ingredients and seasonings from the North, and this evening went even further.
