Bitkilery Plants. Making Useful Plants More Useful.

" Sir. en? Bang.on! Oi... Bang.un-"

Finding someone pinching my cheek, my reflexes held that hand and pulled it. Finding that the hand belonged to Siena I turned the spear in my left hand and caught her falling body. I almost stabbed him.

" What are you doing? That's dangerous! What if I stabbed you!!"

" I-I was unintentional. "

" Don't do that again!"

"Baa.. Good. Then, can you let me go now?"

Removing my left hand from her waist, I let go of my embrace.

" Wakeup! " My orders to him.

Waking up, he tidied up his clothes a little.

" so? Did you get what you were looking for? " Letter.

" It's. That's. Not much, but for now, I think that's enough."

He pointed to a bunch of green-colored plants lying on the ground.

" Is this enough? Isn't this plant small? "

" enough. It's small because it only grew after winter a few days ago. But it is precisely in this season that this plant has a better effect. "

I saw him start picking the leaves and start to grind them with stones.

" Digerus? What do you want to do about it? "

" It's actually better when there's water. But there's no water here, so I'll use this directly on their wounds. This plant is very good for treatment."

" Is so. "

I kept watching what he was doing. After he finished brushing this medicinal plant, he then bandaged the late delicate plant that was injured from the Elves. A few drops of the plant extract he also drank into their mouths. Not only to the Elves, Siena also did the same to the Archilles.

Feeling enough to observe the way Siena was treating them, I tried to take my eyes off. I saw the remains of an unused medicinal plant on the ground.

While Siena was still busy treating them, I tried to take the rest from the unused medicinal herbs. Curious, I tried to taste this plant.

" It's a medicinal plant. It should be edible, right? Hm. It tastes a bit savory, and spicy but a bit bitter as well. It's like a spice? Similar to onion flavor? No. I don't think so. What yes?"

I kept chewing on these leaves to analyze the taste. But the obvious. I think this can be used as a cooking spice. I'm tired of eating meat without that taste.

Feel enough for my analysis. I put back the remaining leaves and did not eat them, then approached Siena.

" You're still a long time, right? I'm gonna go find firewood for a second. "

" Is it okay? " He looked at me and stopped his activities.

" It's okay. My dizziness had already subsided somewhat after sleeping for a while. I'll go first."

" Be careful!"

" Yes-yes. "

Wandering around for a while, I found some dry twigs and dried leaves. By the time I returned, the atmosphere had become somewhat dark.

" I'm sorry long. Are you done yet? "

" It's. The plant should have seeped into them by now. It takes a little while for the plant to start working. "

" Is that so? Then we should be a little longer here. But, is it okay? Isn't this the kobold's path? "

I started preparing to light a bonfire.

" It should be okay. The Kobold is active during the day. At night they tend to appear infrequently. "

" To compare kobolds and wolves, it's obviously different. "

" Yes you're right. "

It's easy enough for me to start a fire. As soon as the fire started I took the meat wrapped in leaves from our luggage.

" This leaf is really great. I can't believe what the Archilles say is true.I don't think these leaves can make meat last all day. "

The leaves I mean are leaves that have a resemblance to taro leaves. It is large but unlike the fragile taro leaves, it is stronger and fragrant.

" Oh, yarpaq leaves, huh? It can make food last longer. The plant is a plant that can withstand cold weather as well. "

" So this is called yarpaq ? I heard something similar from Archiles. But I did not know about the name of this leaf from him. What's that called? "

I pointed towards the rest of the medicinal herbs.

" It's a beetroot plant. "

" Bitciles? "

"really. This plant is widely spread in this forest. You can even say that this forest is the only place where the plant grows. "

" Not anywhere else can it be? Can it be cultivated?"

" I don't know either. That's just what my friends who were lying there told me. "

He pointed towards the Elf who was still fainting.

" While it's not accurate, it's useful information. "

Take the remaining unused leaves. I cut it and made it smooth. Losing myself to the meat I had cut and cut, this was the only way I could use this spice I just knew.

" What are you gonna do about it? Ask Siena to me who is smearing the delicate beetroot plant into this ready-to-bake meat.

" The taste of these leaves is rather savory and tasty. I'll use it as a spice. Have you ever used anything like this before?"

" hasn't. Usually this plant is directly extracted to be made potion."

" Potions? Whatisit? "

" It was a potion that was processed from plants like this. Sometimes it is added also with magic to strengthen the effect of wound healing or healing stamina. "

"so yeah. I-i understand. Well, I hope this way works. I've already thrown this out. Can you bake this yourself?"

I rolled the meat ready to roast to him.

" all right. "

Once this meat is half cooked and starts to water. I told him to re-apply the medicinal plant to make it more permeated into the meat. I did something similar too.

After finishing one and it feels ripe, We put it on the former leaves I put the meat earlier. This leaf is really versatile in the absence of traces of blood or fishy smell on it. I think these leaves are capable of absorbing all that.

After a while, all the roasts were finished. I made 10 medium-sized roast skewers.

It won't run out if it's just me and Siena eating it. That's why I woke up and headed to Archilles. Slowly I ordered him to wake up.

'' Awake, Archilles! Meal time!"

In response to my orders, Archilles opened his eyes slowly.

" Wakeup! Meal time!" I tell him who is gathering consciousness.

'' Fine, Sir."

The three of us started eating grilled meat in front of the campfire. At first glance I saw the silhouette of the animal's eyes around the darkness.
