Chapter 270
Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken (WN) Chapter 270
"I will do it once more so you guys can prepare your food yourselves . "
As I said that, the students watching me looked relieved and hurriedly started to imitate what I did .
When I had finished preparing the portion for the exploration group, a major problem came to light .
We don't have any seasoning .
Are you serious?! This instructor, he has survival kit but not this?!
It's only natural to prepare the stuff you can't get naturally before camping .
"I am sorry! My Space Storage was full with the tents…"
Instructor A came earnestly apologizing to me, someone who isn't even a student .
I don't know his name so A is good enough .
He had bandages wrapped around his arms and his head so he's probably one of the instructors who fought against Laplace . It appears that Laplace also held back enough, since these guys already healed enough to move .
It seems he was the only one carrying tents but to me, seasoning is much more important than tents .
"Seasoning is more important than tents!"
"I-I am sorry! I thought we would be enduring with the rations when camping so…"
"So you don't have anything?"
"Umm… I have a bit of salt…"
"You have salt? Then it's fine . "
Ah, I am relieved . I am really relieved .
Salt is all-purpose so we were able to avoid the worst case scenario .
He also had some citrus fruit so burning the salt and dripping some fruit juice should be enough .
Instructor A handed over the salt to me, feeling ashamed .
I took the salt with a smile .
He probably thought my anger had dissolved seeing my smile and shamelessly mixed with the other students and started imitating me .
I shall overlook this considering he provided the salt .
The students also looked relieved after hearing our conversation .
"This kid is scary~"
"He was really overwhelming, huh? Peter-sensei looked quite scared, didn't he?"
"T-there's no way . No way the sensei would be scared of an ordinary person, that too a kid!"
I could hear such conversations but since I was in a good mood, I decided not to bother .
The problem is the salt .
It seems he wasn't joking when he said he only had a bit of it . It looks like we will run out of salt soon .
Maybe even tomorrow .
While thinking to myself that I have to do something for tomorrow, I continued the work .
Dinner was in barbecue style .
In this situation, when we don't even have cooking equipment, the methods in which we can cook are limited .
The exploration group brought back edible monsters so I processed those too .
They could do that themselves since it is taught in their lessons .
It seems they also knew how to find out if it could be eaten or not so there doesn't seem to be a problem .
However, just in case, I used my Appraisal Study carefully on it and found out that not only was the processing not done properly, the monster's meat was crushed with a sword and so the quality was very low .
But we can't really be asking for much .
I also prepared it with chopped up herbs .
As if he was in our group to begin with, Magnus came mixing in .
He looked around and was searching for me .
He's very annoying but once you get used to him, he seems more like a dog .
"Yo, Satoru-chan . You also prepared our portion!"
Too over-familiar .
And the looks from the surrounding is annoying too .
"Not for your sake, though . "
"Now, now . Are you tsundere?"
Oh just shut up .
I think there might be a need to call him out at the back and deal with him .
While thinking that, I decided to first grill the fish properly .
It gave off a savory scent, stimulating everyone's appetite .
In addition to the best spice of them all—an empty stomach, these are also the fish I caught so I grilled them good .
I mean, of course, if one were to judge it normally, it wouldn't be as good as Shuna's cooking . However, from the fact that I caught and cooked these by myself in this natural environment, this rivals the best cooking out there .
"Delicious! What is this? It's super delicious!"
Magnus, who came annoying me, took a bite and shouted .
"You're exaggerating, idiot . "
Saying that, I also took a bite .
Delicious!
Are you serious?!
I only roasted some cotton plant . It must have been of high quality .
And such voices could be heard from here and there, proving that we weren't the only ones finding it delicious .
Mondo was eating with his whole heart and soul . Tears were flowing out of his ears, soaking him in bliss of a full stomach .
And looking at us with annoyed expressions were the great nobles from their own table, lined up with high class cooking .
I don't know how many days worth of food they have . It seems they have a whole separate menu for themselves as well .
Well, that's fine for now .
The monster meat wasn't that good but it was edible .
We don't even have seasoning so this is how it's supposed to be . It was enough to fill the belly .
And like this, we were enjoying a much more balanced meal than I thought we would .
After dinner .
"Well, how did the exploration go?"
I was full now so I asked casually .
"Yeah . It is going smoother than I thought . That pompous guy, he's Julius, but he's surprisingly good . He's noble —royalty at that too, and so is quite good at using others . Thanks to that, we were able to cover plenty of distance without having a single drop-out . We should be able to see the coastline within 3 more days . "
It seems Julius looked capable even from Magnus' point of view .
He might actually be good if he got rid of that elitism .
It looks like he also looks up to Masayuki so telling him to lecture Julius might do the trick .
