CH 163

After that we decided to camp a little higher up the hill from the waterfront while eating dishes made from fresh raw uni. We also got some merman meat which we’d sauteed. I started the fire and lined up the tree stump chair around it. I also wanted to take a warm bath in the drum bath so I also boiled water for the bath. Just in case, I installed ankle snare traps around our camp. 

Today, I wanted to try making pasta with raw uni. I would be using the pasta I had bought from Tairant. While boiling the pasta, I made sauce from raw uni. I went for the simple method for the sauce. I made it by using raw uni, garlic, salt and bargo fruit wine. The finished sauce then would be poured onto the pasta and then for the finishing touch, I topped the pasta with a generous amount of raw uni. As for the sauteed merman, I flavored it with some herbs I had in stock. 

Yurina-san and I then started eating the raw uni pasta. 

Munch…

BOOMMM!!

I could feel thunder blaring from behind me. It was so delicious that it made me freeze on the spot. Ash was tapping on my knee so I also put some on Ash’s plate. The sauteed merman also tasted pretty good due to the result of me improving the recipe. 

I downed the ale in one gulp. Yurina-san was also drinking a glass of bargo fruit wine elegantly. We enjoyed another serving of uni pasta to our heart’s content. 

Adhering to ladies first etiquette, I handed Yurina-san a towel and a soap for her to take a bath first. After Yurina-san stepped out of the bath, I then went to take a drum bath after her. 

SPLASH!

Phew… I can feel my body being warmed into the very core. 

Without waiting much longer, I promptly used the soap. My whole body felt so refreshed. It felt great. Next to the drum bath, I had already placed a side table beforehand with a glass of alcohol. I had also prepared uni sashimi that I served in a glass of salt water. Uni was simply the best. 

While soaking in the bath, I looked up at the blue moon and toasted to the moon. I wondered if it was alright for me to have such delicious alcohol like this.

I was drying my hair with wind magic in front of the fire after getting up from the bath when the blue wolves approached us. I washed the blue wolves with the remaining water and used wind magic to dry their fur too. 

After that, since we still had a lot of leftover raw uni and merman’s meat, I picked up a generous amount of the food to feed the blue wolves. 

“How is it? It’s good, right?”

I asked and the blue wolves wagged their tails in return, asking for another serving. 

We ate the uni as sashimi but unfortunately, there was still too much leftovers. We then decided to pickle the uni we couldn’t eat in a jar with salt. I quite liked this place. This place was near a village and most importantly, we could use water as much as we wanted.

Let’s camp in this place for a little while. 

Beside uni and merman’s meat, there was another fish in the river too. 

We didn’t have any particular destination in mind and furthermore, it’d be better to stay away from human settlement  as much as possible. In fact, I believed it’d be safer for us to camp outdoors in the middle of nowhere. 

The night was getting late and so, after brushing our teeth, Yurina-san and I huddled together in the same bed inside the warm covered wagon to keep our body warm. I could breathe in the nice scent of soap permeating from Yurina-san’s body. I kissed her goodnight and fell asleep.

T/N: So the blue wolves have become their pet now. Maybe MC will acquire beast tamer skill or something?
