18 Episode 18: The Beginning of the Adventurer Experience and Emergency Food

After the hall, we went straight into the woods east of town.

It's the beginning of the adventurer experience.

"Pale flashes" and non-combatant me going down the woods without a path.

Are you calling it a line?

Ketsy (Cat Beast Man) (cute) Kiki leads the way in scouts and leads that diagonal back, Mr. Ryer.

In the middle is me and Mr. Nesca, the silent wizard, and in the rear is Mr. Rolf, the armed cleric.

Place someone back and forth who can fight in close proximity and proceed while protecting me.

What a sensible formation I think.

"Don't worry, honey, we'll avoid sagging monsters and move on"

"Yes. Thank you, Mr. Ryer."

That's why I left it to you, Kiki.

"Hmm. ♪ I'll take care of it."

Kiki answers Ryer's words with more and more slaps on the chest.

The purpose of "Pale Flash" is to collect medicinal herbs.

They're also looking for a special herb that only grows in this forest, not a regular herb.

So he said he would avoid fighting monsters whenever possible and concentrate on finding herbs.

You think that's why you sent O.K. out to my company?

Look for a special herb and come over there.

I walked in the woods for about half a day and found some herbs, but I couldn't find the 'special herbs' I wanted.

"Oh man, after all, can't you find 'Arre' that easy? Shh. That's it for today. We'll get ready for the night camp."

Mr. Ryer started preparing for the night camp in his words when the sun began to tilt.

Mr. Ryer laughed that resting while he could afford it was a trick that lasted a long time.

It's a word I'd like to ask the young bald president of the black company I used to work for.

I've been collecting firewood.

"Amen to that. That's a match you sold me to set fire to.

Mr. Ryer set the match on fire and lit the firewood.

It's a fire. It's romantic, isn't it?

"Really, this match is amazing. This is how easy it is to light a fire."

Thank you, Lord Shiloh.

"No, thanks to me for using our products."

The reputation of the match seems to be high.

Mr. Rolf tells me he's making it a must-have among adventurers in Ninolich.

"You're going to make a lot of money selling your match in Wangdu."

"Sooner or later, the King's Capital Chamber of Commerce will be watching Lord Shiloh's match."

"Ha ha, I guess. Rolf's reading is a hit. It will be only a matter of time before the match is known. Honey, don't sell him as high as you want."

"Uh!? Expensive?

"That's right. That's thoughtful, too. The merchants in Wangdu are from Gametsui, gentlemen like you will soon be ducked."

"You have to be careful with that."

As he blossomed into matchtalk like that, Mr. Nesca accidentally said,

"............... Ryer, I'm hungry"

and potpourri.

Mr. Kiki's stomach rings "Gu" in good time.

The two girls look hungry.

"I guess I stayed on foot today. It's time for dinner."

"Yay. My stomach is full."

So it was dinner.

Four people take the dried meat and the seemingly hard bread out of their backpacks.

Yeah. After all, adventurer meals, which are dominated by outdoor activities, are qualitative.

Or so I looked at it.

"Hmm? Didn't Shiloh bring Gohan?

Something worried Mr. Kiki.

Mr. Kiki chewed the dried meat in half a thousand pieces,

"Shall I give you half of me?

I've been asking.

I shake my head to the side in a hurry.

"Uh, I'm fine. I've got my share."

"Oh well. Good. I was worried that my gohan would go down in half."

"I'm sorry I misled you. I was interested in what the adventurers were eating."

"Hmm? Not just adventurers, travelers, merchants, you don't have so many things to eat on the move."

"Lord Ryer is right. Except when we were able to procure locally, we eat these kinds of preserved foods at work (on an adventure)."

Mr. Rolf will show you dried meat and bread.

"Sounds like both of them are hard..."

Mr. Ryer shrugs his shoulders at my honest thoughts.

"Well, I'm drying it out. Wait... Is your rice different?

"Yes, this is my rice."

I'm taking my rice out of my backpack.

Cooked rice with alpha rice.

Bread or biscuits.

Chocolate and bar type nutritious foods.

Various cans.

They were all sold to the home center as emergency food for disasters.

"... this, food?

Mr. Nesca tilts his neck.

Take the chocolate bar (bagged) that was nearby and smell it.

"That's right. Look at that."

I open the lid of the can and show the contents to the four of you.

Four people peek into the can.

"This is food where chicken is simmered in a sauce. This one has sweet treat biscuits and chocolate. So this is..."

I explained the emergency food in order.

Add hot water and cook cooked rice, or cut the bag seal and serve bread.

The four of them round their eyes to an emergency meal they have never seen.

Especially Mr. Nesca. There was an overflow of yodale from his mouth.

Are you a real eater?

"Am I going to eat that much by myself?

The number of preserved foods spread out before me is considerable.

Not very much, but not the amount you can eat alone.

"No, this includes your share"

"And ours... because?

"Yeah. Actually, this is something I'm thinking about putting out at our store. So it would be helpful if you all ate it and let me know what you think"

"If that's the case, I'll take care of it! Hey, guys, just like I heard. Let's eat for you, too."

"Wow! Thanks, Shiloh!

God bless you, Lord Shiloh.

"............... I'll eat this"

Four people reach for emergency food.

"Hey, what's this? What a flavor! Why is it so delicious!?

"Yum! Shiloh this is yummy!!!!

"What a soft bread. I've never eaten anything like this in the temple."

"............ sweet and delicious. Shiloh, get more."

As a result, all four of us ended up with "yummy" food.
