It was still before noon that I woke up the next morning. There's nothing I can do for you from today. The real summer vacation between me and Alec began.

I guess I just went to Wang Du and got caught up in a big case. But if it weren't for me and my mothers, the Wang would have been more ruthless. Today is August 15th. I can slow down here for another ten days. I used to buy and store "Demonic Props of Time" in the French capital, so I can't go wrong with the date anymore.

All right, let's cook something before Alec wakes up. I don't know what to do...... yes!

Make Hydra Tail Soup! Because you're all that giant, and you're gonna have to blow your tail off.

The problem is that there are no flavoured vegetables, but no.

Done. I tried plenty of spices to get rid of the smell. I don't think I'm simmering enough, but that's for fun tonight. Let's just say this is good for lunch.

"Gaugau"

Oh, Kamui. Will you wake Alec up? Thanks.

All right, then let's leave the soup alone. Then it's Kutanatsu Guild lunch box. You just want to get some vegetables from noon. I should have gotten it for you in the village of Elves.

"Morning. You smell good.

"Oh dear. I made soup. I don't guarantee the flavor, though.

Come on, it's lunch for all four. I'll have it. I wonder how the soup tastes.

Hmm, the flavor is delicious...

It tastes subtly weird...... did I do something wrong?

"Curse, this... you didn't take the ac, did you?

"Oh, if you ask me... all I thought about was simmering.

"No curse. You just have to leave the food to me. Wait a minute.

After all, isn't the food right for me? Well, there's no question Alec's food is excellent. I'll take care of it.

Twenty minutes later, Alec came back.

"Please wait. Could it be Hydra's tail? You're using amazing ingredients. I took the ac and simmered it a little bit more. Try it.

"That's right. I tried to make hydra tail soup. Whoa, this is delicious.

Damn, that's Alec. No clutter in the soup. And no slight odor.

"Puypuy."

"Gaugau"

Ku, both Ko and Kamui say Alec's soup tastes better. It's obvious.

"You want to go pick vegetables and other non-meat and fish ingredients from noon. Then you can eat more of Alec's food!

"Fine. I wanted to cook for Curse, too. I'm looking forward to it.

That said, I can't guess. Only move through the Noir Forest forest. And you expect Alec's eyesight. I don't know much about it.

Well, we've come to the heart of the Noir Forest. No, I don't know if it's exactly central. It's too big. I appropriately flew north and went downstairs around the woods as far as I could see. It's wet in here, and it's jittery. Your shoes are dirty. Well, it doesn't matter because it comes with 'anti-fouling'.

"There's no vegetables here, is there?

"Yeah, I don't think so. But there might be mushrooms.

Mushrooms. I'm glad you have some kind of mackerel. But there's a sea urchin tree?

Can't you find a mushroom with Kamui's nose?

"Gaugau"

Oh, you know what I mean when I get close? Don't count on that.

"I don't think Curse has anything to do with this, but there are a lot of dangerous mushrooms, so we need to be careful.

"Oh, right. It was also Palatisium Dake who used to attack Tanutu, wasn't it? Well, it was mostly because of the Jacobini.

"There's going to be mushrooms we don't know about, and we should be careful.

They say there's mushroom demons and stuff, and let's be careful. You can leave it to Alec to sort out if you can eat.

In the meantime, I'll collect the mushrooms I noticed from one end. The magic of wind manipulation is like a limb to me. I can hunt mushrooms without getting my hands dirty.

"What do you say, Alec? Can you eat any of them?

"I can eat this, you magpie. And then this one's a cagladake, which sounds delicious. You can't do anything else. Though I think Curse can eat it.

"Ha, I don't dare to eat poisonous mushrooms.

"This isn't safe. Purple Venom Dake. Maybe even I'll die if I eat this. We have to be careful.

Wow, that's a poisonous mushroom from Do-Purple. How does it feel?

But let's not throw it away and store it. I might have a use for it.

That's enough to collect mushrooms.

"Gawawawah!"

That's Ko's warning. There's no response to my range alert. But the next moment, the radar in my head was smeared in bright red. There are demons everywhere. At the same time, huge mushrooms grew one after the other from the ground. Extremely colorful and poisonous. If you look only at the shape, it's an ellinghi with only legs and mouth. They threw something out of my mouth at the same time. Spores anyway.

"Alek!"

Alec around my back quickly.

"Flame Wall"

It's literally a firewall. I didn't have to use it because I had automatic defenses, but I was just thinking about making an attack.

Mushrooms should be surprisingly high in moisture, but they burn well. That's why I'll burn the area. With all this magic, I'm sure the big guys will come by.

"Puypuy."

Coe, you want some? Even though it seems poisonous to see, it smells fragrant. I think I baked it. Fine, eat. Don't break your stomach.

"Pure Puy!"

This area is full of burnt mushrooms. I don't want to eat very much. You don't eat kamui?

"Gaugau"

You're not gonna eat that? Of course. Ko is special, isn't he? But the smell is good. You smell hungry.

"All right, Alec, let's just collect the one that's burned but edible.

"Yeah. That would be nice.

Exactly. Now I'm collecting it by hand. You can't even tell if it's a mushroom unless you look close because you've scorched it all over.

If you do this, you have a reaction to range alert. Highly magical, big guy. Come on, what prey is coming?
