Two weeks just passed. Supposedly, Arthur left four days ago. But all plans changed after Nanami's mother said she wanted to use their services as a guard. Despite not having any real wealth due to being suppressed by the royal palace, the woman still kept some valuable things like the map of the ruins as well as some information she had since her adventure a dozen years ago.
Although most likely some of the items that the woman had marked had been taken by others, but there was still a possibility that some of the items had not been taken. Therefore, the woman gave Arthur information based on his quantity, not quality.
Something made Nanami's mother confused. For some reason, when Arthur asked, the young man would definitely direct his question to some monster whether it was his appearance or his residence.
Looking at the handsome man, Nanami's mother thought that Arthur could have had a bad experience with monsters as a child. Like some examples of villages being destroyed and leveled by ferocious wild beasts. The woman thought that the young man might hold a grudge against the creatures. So, instead of hunting creatures like evil spirits, he was more after monsters!
Looking towards the man, Nanami's mother sighed with a look of pity on her face.
Arthur's lips twitched. He had absolutely no idea why the woman was looking at him with such an expression. One thing was certain ... The young man was really irritated to the point of wanting to dismantle his disguise!
Arthur then glanced at Jotaro. Taking a deep breath, he then asked.
“What do you want to do after this, Jotaro?”
“An adventure with you?” jotaro replied curiously while tilting his head.
“...”
Hearing that, Arthur somehow wanted to curse. But when he looked at Jotaro, he suddenly felt that bringing one person as an assistant was not a problem at all. The power is considered strong. As long as you train a little more ...
Arthur suddenly imagines a busy Jotaro going around to kill this creature or pick it up, whereas he can casually cook and eat to indulge himself. Thinking of such a leisurely life, the young man actually almost drooled.
Who does not want to live a relaxed but contented life? Obviously not there!
“If you may know, where will you go after driving us, Mr Ryuma?”
At that moment, Nanami's mother came into the conversation. Hearing his question, his daughter looked towards Arthur with a curious expression. He obviously also wanted to know where his teacher was going.
“Do not know. Maybe just go around to enjoy free life.”
Arthur replied in a relaxed tone. Hearing his reply, the woman shook her head. He seemed to have no faith in his words. Of course, Arthur did not care at all whether the woman believed it or not.
“We will make a tent here.”
Looking towards the orange-colored sky, Arthur said casually. Now they were in a suitable place to set up camp, so he wanted them to stop here.
In fact, in this time Arthur took the fastest route, which is a combination of land routes and water routes. Of course, taking the fast route meant they had to pass through some dangerous places. It also made Nanami and her mother worried, but still chose to follow the arrangements made by her.
Whether called lucky or not, Arthur and the other three people did not encounter any dangerous creatures at all. They occasionally encountered hordes of ordinary wolves. But not attacking at all because they know the difference in strength.
“...”
This left Arthur speechless. Besides being fast, the reason why the young man took this new route was only to meet with monsters. He wants to hunt them down and store them in ‘rak dimensi’ and collect various materials according to their type. Arthur also hopes to get some valuable vegetables, fruits, or medicinal plants. The same thing ...
The result remains nil!
“Let me cook tonight.”
Arthur said with a flat expression on his face. In these few days, three other people had already tried to cook. Nanami's mother is still fine. Jotaro and Nanami alone could still make something like grilled meat. Looking at some ingredients that ended up just being salted and then burned made him somewhat depressed.
Seeing that they all looked in disbelief, the corner of Arthur's lips twitched. He did not expect his status as a chef of ‘asli’ to be questioned at all. The young man secretly swore to have them all shocked and amazed.
Arthur, Jotaro, and Nanami then set up a tent. While Nanami sleeps with her mother, Arthur and Jotaro sleep in their tents.
After setting up the tent, Arthur then made a bonfire. He then took out some cookware that was no stranger to the other three people. After that, he then began to cut through the various materials that had been cleaned. But something made him feel a little upset.
Compared to how he chose the composition of the ingredients, the other three people were actually more focused on his cutting technique. Even they attributed that cutting skill to his skill as a swordsman!
Tonight, Arthur cooks a meat stew complete with mushrooms, vegetables, and some herbs. The process was inspired by the typical cuisine of the country bamboo curtain in his previous life. Of course, it is remade with different recipes because the ingredients in both worlds also have some differences.
Sniffing the fragrant aroma of herbs and spices, Arthur was satisfied. He was now quite happy to be able to come to this world because these types of cooking ingredients were more, even full of various magic ingredients!
By the time they all started eating dinner. At the time of tasting the first spoon, three people stared at Arthur with expressions of disbelief. They really did not expect, other than having outstanding skills in using swords, that young man could still cook!
“It ... It's really very awesome, Boss.”
Hearing Jotaro's praise, Arthur wanted to hold his nose up high. Even so, in the end he still showed such a calm appearance.
They all ate together. Although often given potions and some food by Arthur, Nanami did not expect that his teacher's skill in cooking was better than when making medicine.
“The smell is really fragrant. Yes ... happens to be hungry after too long walking.”
Lazy voice sounded. The expressions of the four people instantly turned pale. Arthur himself instantly dropped the bowl in his hand. He immediately slashed out viciously.
The set!
Arthur's expression instantly turned pale when he saw the lazy man who had somehow appeared and crouched down next to him. Not to mention, the man actually pinched the sword blade in his hand with two fingers.
Realizing that he could not pull back his sword at all, Arthur took off his sword and jumped back while continuing to stare coldly at the man.
“Who?” ask Arthur with a heavy tone.
“Ouch! You guys are really wasting food!”
The man did not answer Arthur's question at all. He instead looked at the stew that fell to the ground while shaking his head. At that moment, three other people also reacted. They immediately retreated and prepared to fight back.
At that moment, the four of them were shocked when they saw the figure of the little girl floating down from the sky. He landed next to the man then lightly hit his head.
“You really scared your juniors, Arima.”
At the moment the girl's voice sounded, a black figure appeared to come out from the bushes. It was a fat Akita inu. He walked on all four short legs approaching the two strange and mysterious people. Then, the akita looked towards Arthur and the three others with a silly and naive expression on his face.
“...”
Looking towards the three strange figures, Arthur smiled wryly. Although it was a bit strange, but he felt the danger of danger from the three. The young man could not help but curse inwardly.
‘That Smelly Old Man wouldn't bother sending an unemployed senior to beat me up, would he?’
