Book 2: Surviving In Another World From Zero

Chapter 37: Processed Food From Water

My name is Nisa and now I'm on an important mission as Latifa yells at me from the other side.

"Do well with the cat."

"Whisper, don't disturb my monologue."

"Huh? What are you doing exactly."

I, Ardhi and Anastasia were walking to the Lake area, for the safety of Ardhi just asked us to reach the depths of the stomach.

"I think it's enough here" he said.

I had thought that we would be told to catch fish but it seemed different from what I thought, even though the fish was seen swimming towards us, no one tried to catch it even Anastasia screamed a little.

"What'sthat?

"Did you just know what a nyan fish is."

"I've never touched them unless they're on a plate."

"Uwaah."

I put on a troubled face in a mocking tone while Ardhi had dived and returned while showing a shell that truly resembled a rock.

"It looks like this lake was previously filled with passing adventurers, inside there is a lot of food that we can process."

In other words, the eel we were fighting was likely to accidentally enter it here.

I'm not surprised if another monster shows up.

I put on a slightly confused face with the second material.

"Um, Ardhi you mean we will also cultivate this grass nyan."

"In my place grass like this only grows in the sea but here they can also live in fresh water."

"If you say that, then I'll collect it immediately."

"May I hold it?"

Ardhi gave the clam in his hand to Anastasia whom he thoroughly remembered with his touch.

I found something quite interesting so I gave it to Anastasia to touch it, it has a cylindrical shape, it is chewy and also slimy. According to Ardhi this can also be eaten apart from its slightly strange shape. You must have realized it.

Anastasia was a little surprised and continued to touch him with her hands.

"What's this?"

"That's a water cucumber, try to move your hand like this and then you'll find out."

Anastasia innocently obeyed my words and something like liquid splashed at her pretty face.

"What's? Wh why? It's sticky, aahh. Get this off me."

I laughed to see how Anastasia looked panicked by cleaning her face until Ardhi hit me on the head with the edge of her hand.

"Nyan's pain."

"Stop asking her to do something weird, quickly gather up what I asked for."

"I understand."

I said it with a slight puffing of the cheeks before diving in by taking a deep breath.

Because of the clear water I can see well every condition of the bottom of this lake, we do not bother to target fish that are difficult to catch with only the number of shells is enough.

I took one then rose to the surface of the water to put it into a raft previously made by Ardhi to make it easier for us to carry it later.

Anastasia also did well even she also raised the grass in between.

The next few hours we had enough food. Ardhi had prepared a large cauldron to boil the clam that was the size of three adult fists. He gave me a spice I never understood.

Ardhi's skills have always been mysterious.

For the remaining shellfish I was in charge of roasting it, while for the grass it was processed by Anastasia as soup. We asked if grass on land could be processed as well but Ardhi said they were completely inedible.

Too bad I wish that all the grass could be put to the best use, I occasionally see slime eating it so I thought it might taste good too.

Latifa's group had finished healing the injured adventurers and they immediately helped us to channel food to everything.
