Chapter 32: CH 32

32nd Meal: I Will Treat You To My Cooking

Hello everyone, it’s a white rare beast that is at the age of wanting to be a ninja.

Yes … … it’s me. Eltina!

We are currently hunting wild hares as an actual battle training in the grassland southwest of the capital Philimichia.

“Oh, found them. Their number have increased by quite a lot!?”

There were a lot of wild hares.

But just so you know, that is definitely not any rabbit that I know of.

They are around 50 to 80 cm in length.

(T.N. Around 20 to 31 inches for those that uses the imperial units)

Moreover, it’s appearance is …… very ugly. They look like pigs that were forced to put on rabbit ears and tails.

There also isn’t the cuteness that pigs have.

It seems to be the default that their faces are always frowning.

“So big.”

Everyone nodded to my impression.

It would be quite painful if I get rammed by these rabbits.

The possibility of me being able to withstand a hit to my body is extremely low.

I have to be careful … ….

“So, please check your equipments and start hunting! Please be careful and not be reckless!”

Each party starts hunting along with the instructions of Stilva-sensei.

Our party also began to hunt the rabbits.

Hyhaha! Ugly pigs need to be exterminateddddddddd! !

(T.N. She drags out the last syllable. Any better way of doing it?)

“El, fireball is banned.”

“……Huh?”

Rioto issued a “fireball” ban towards me who was about to charge at the rabbits.

My main attack have been sealed.

How can I fight the rabbits now?

Although a rare animal that can not use “fireball” is just a rare animal … … Fukuen.

A rare beast that can’t use “Fireball” is just a rare beast … … Fukyun.

“The power is too high, the rabbits will get obliterated.”

“Ah, that’s right, if that happens, I can’t eat it.”

I was admonished by Rioto. Certainly, with the power of my attack magic, the rabbits will explode with just ashes remaining.

I hunt living creatures to eat, but I don’t plan to use my abilities just to kill.

However, I am now useless. Shiku Shiku ….

“However, I have to get my own side dishes myself!”

I started charging at the rabbits.

Wild hares …… The official name is “Butch Rabi” and it is a vermin that devours fields and medicinal herbs.

(T.N. 『ブッチョラビ』Butcho Rabi)

Fertility is very high, acts in a flock, and because of their numbers, it is a troublesome opponent, but they are very weak that even children like us can hunt them relatively safely.

The school’s actual battle training seems to always have the Butch Rabi as the standard.

“…… Yaaaa! Eiii!!”

Hiltia swings her two-handed sword with a brunbrun and bisect the Butch Rabi in two.

It is a very refined move.

In her case I was practicing to hide the opponent ‘s attack rather than attack, because I had put it on the main, Butcho Rabi’ s attack was not scratching.

Because she practice dodging the opponent’s attack rather than attacking as her main, the Butch Rabi’s attack isn’t even hitting.

“Shi …… Sei !!”

Rioto slaughter the Butch Rabi.

Is that called a consecutive attack? Seems to be driving a few fists of iron fist with a single attack. He seems to drive in a multiple punches with a single attack

Of course, I do not know what he did.

Because, I can not see it (shivering voice).

“Nuuwaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

Ganzurok is swinging a gigantic ax with a tremendous amount of energy, taking down several Butch Rabi in one swing.

I am sending the look of envy to him who can easily handle the ax that is nearly twice his own size.

I will say it as many time as I want, the ax is a man’s romance!

“………………”

Folbert … pierced his light sword into the rabbit, stabbing them to death without saying a thing.

What exactly happened to him?

Let’s ask the Ganzurok to appease him later (shivering voice).

“『Wind Ball』”! Go ~!”

Linda hits the balls of wind one after another against Butcho Rabi,

and reap consciousness of umaki rabbits.

Linda hit the Butch Rabi with balls of wind one after another, reaping the consciousness of the ugly rabbits.

As expected, it seems to best go in the direction to not use blunt weapons.

I feel like I could use one but …. there is still some resistance towards not using one.

And I… who charged at the Butch Rabi, lost pitifully (three losses)      

Currently, a Butch Rabi is laying on top of me.     

This is heavy.

Is it not about twice my own wight?

The Butch Rabi laughed at me with a “Buhii”.

That ‘Buhii’ have caused my anger to be lit up.

I’ll show you what I can do! !

“You guys … don’t get too cocky! I will become serious!” Kururu !! ”

I instantly activated my style『Wind Ball』.

Like usual, 『Wind Ball』did not activate properly. Instead, it became a small tornado that surrounded me and blew the Butch Rabi on top of me away.

“If I were serious, you will already be charred, afterwards … … be careful !!”

“If I were serious, you will already be charred, next time … … be careful !!”

I didn’t use 『Fireball』, so I think everything should be fine, but… just in case, when I glared at everyone else, they all nodded… … All good.

『Wind Ball』 is somewhat useful.

Let’s use it if I ever get stuck with an opponent or if they get too close.

After about thirty minutes, most of the Butch Rabi that were nearby have hunted.

If it were only our class, it wouldn’t have been this fast, but since all of the second year students are in the training, it was over in a short amount of time.

◆ ◆ ◆

We hunted the prescribed five rabbits, so we are now preparing for lunch.

It seems to be part of the training to make meals using the preys that we hunted ourselves.

When I was processing the Butch Rabi, Rioto brought over a Butch Rabi on a skewer.

That Butcho Rabbit … was stabbed with an iron skewer from the ass , without even removing the fur . It looks like it will cause hemorrhoids.

(T.N. Not quite sure about the last part. 痔になりそう。)

“Can’t we just roast it like this?”

Apparently, Rioto wanted to roast the rabbit whole.

It’s not like you can’t, but that cooking method only works to the extent with animals that grow a little bit of hair.

If you don’t properly dismantle and remove the blood, it won’t be like the meat that you eat in the school cafeteria.

“‘ll become Namagusaku If you do not and Oii …… bled. Fur also Do not. No yes

’ll I do not eat delicious and not a neat process?”

“Oi… if you don’t remove the blood, there will be a stinky smell. The fur also isn’t removed. If you don’t prepare it properly, it won’t be tasty.

“Eh? That’s how it works?”

I efficiently bled the rabbit and dismantled it.

Of course it was from the first generation’s knowledge, but that alone wasn’t enough. I also asked the butcher at the food stalls to teach me.

When cutting meat is not strength, it is along the fiber … Well, as it is good.

When cutting meat, it isn’t about the strength, you have to cut along the fiber… Well, that is fine, but… It would be impossible to let Rioto do such fine processing.

Instead, it is best to ask him to do some heavy work.

“Rai, it’s fine already, can you help me start a fire?”

Rioto said “Ok,” and went to start a fire for roasting the rabbits.

However, it seems that Ganzurok has already finished the preparations.

Rioto’s tail dropped to the ground.

In addition, it seems that Hiltia and Linda are having difficulty dismantling the rabbit over there.

“Hii … blood, the blood …”

“… … it is surprisingly difficult.”

They seem to be struggling.

I had a wry smile while thinking that it is as expected.

If you learn something from a textbook, you will find it different when you actually do it.

And right now, they are confused about the difference.

If you don’t do this a number of times, you won’t become good at it.

The point is that you need to get use to it.

“Wow … … El-chan is good!”

Linda came over to see how I was doing while holding a rabbit in a miserable appearance.

The apron that is full of blood is also in a miserable state.

“True … … El is skillful.”

Although it is not as good as Linda, but Fulita also brought a rabbit that is halfway dismantled.

So, I decided to lecture the two of them while dismantling a rabbit.

And finally, they managed to dismantle a rabbit after taking some time.

“Okay … … then, let’s add spice to get rid of the smell on the meat … … Hey !! Don’t just suddenly go roast it! It won’t be delicious unless you flavor it!”

“Ehh … there’s still things to do? ”

I hurriedly stopped Rioto who was trying to roast the meat.

Furthermore, he was trying to roast it directly on the flame.

If you do such a thing, only the surface will burn and become charred.

This muscle brain lion … ….

Alright, you sit down and wait! Punpun!

(T.N. Not even sure what the sound effect at the end is.)

“I’m spiced it! Do we put salt on it too?”

Linda, who was processing the meat, asked whether or not she should add the salt.

“No, after salt was baked up, when I

first applied it, the gravy flowed too far”

“No, add the salt after roasting the meat. When you add the salt first, the meat juice will flow too much.”

I stopped Linda from adding the salt while replying.

Since we’re eating another living being, we should at least make it delicious and take it in as nutrient.

Afterwards, we cut down the wild grass that were growing naturally and made salt soup.

The wild grass is like a spinach. Since I ate it and confirmed it, there is also no poison in it.

“El, you’re quite good at cooking, do you often help out in the kitchen?”

“So you had such an unexpected strong point.”

“It looks delicious! Let’s hurry and eat it !!”

Until we finished cooking, we had the guys go do some chores.

They were mostly washing the fur that were stripped off of the rabbits and processing the bones and other materials.

It was a job where usable things are used and useless things are buried.

After a while, I could smell the meat’s fragrant, indicating that the meat is ready.

I cut the roasted meat with a kitchen knife to reasonable sizes and placed them on a large leafed-shaped plate that was taken out of『Storage』 . Lastly I sprinkle a reasonable amount of salt on it as a finishing touch.

(T.N. The raw says 『フリースペース』which translate as Free Space. I would assume this is Storage.)

The meat is fresh and this rabbit doesn’t have any parasites, so I cooked it rare.

After all meat is best to be cooked rare.

The best part about cooking the meat rare is the overflowing meat juice when it is bitten into.

“Hey, Hi-chan , please give it out to everyone.”

“… … Yeah, I got it.”

After I finished preparing a portion for everyone, I got Hiltia help me handout the meat and soup.

The spinach-like grass was a great flavoring that pull out the sweetness from the salt plum.

By the way, it was also okay to bring bread with us.

In the case where you weren’t able to hunt any Butch Rabi, it would be a lonely meal with just bread.

Oh … … I definitely don’t want that to happen!

“De …… Delicious !! What is this!? Good …… It’s so good !!”

Rioto was excitingly to eat the food that can and gobble while chanted the “Yabee” and “Umee” I stuffed the meat in my stomach.

Rioto excitingly ate the food while yelling “Good” and “Delicious” and stuffed his face with the food.

“Hmm … … Because we used a variety of herbs, the flavor is amazing! Was adding the salt later also affect the taste … I learned a lot today …”

“The soup is simple, but delicious”

Hiltia and Linda also seem to be pleased.

“It’s too bad that I can’t drink alcohol right now …… This would be great to go along with alcohol.”

Ganzurok, as expected you can’t drink during training.

But, it’s not like I don’t understand that feeling.

First, thoroughly enjoy the flavor of the food, then drink the beer which runs down your throat. That feeling is wonderful. Enjoy in this order until the meat is gone.

(T.N. For anyone that forgot. Eltina was 30 years old before he became an elf.)

I want to hurry up and become an adult so I can enjoy delicious alcohol.

“…… Wonderful, I don’t smell the odor that meat would usually have …… It’s unbelievable that it was made in such a short amount of time.”

Folbert also praised me.

He seems to be extremely picky, and usually during lunch, he would fill his stomach with just cream puffs.

For those who are extremely picky, it seems that for today’s lunch in the worst case scenario they would just have to eat bread.

“Fuu … … It’s decided!”

Rioto who was satisfied with lunch suddenly stood up and looked at my face with a smile.

“El is now in charge of this party’s dish!”

“… … Agree.”

“Yay! I’m looking forward to lunch tomorrow!”

“That’s nice! Hunting is now worthwhile!”

“I am also thankful … … eating only bread for several days seems quite difficult. ”

Is there not a right to veto?

I was forced to be the party’s cook without my own agreement.

…… I don’t get it.

“As expected of Kuishinbo!”

And I was complimented.

Well, I don’t hate it so I guess it’s fine.

And with many things happening, the first day of the actual battle training was over.

Next is also actual practice training.

I will satisfy everyone’s stomach with delicious meals the next time too!

Hmm? It seems like the purpose has changed …?

Well, let’s say that I’m imagining it.

We went back to school while looking forward to the next training.
