Chapter 15 – High-class Ingredients Have Appeared!
“Listen, Rasty. With a worktable, you can not only handle iron, but also make various useful things. For example, if it’s a weapon, you can make a sword, a spear, an axe. For equipment, you can make helmets and armor. For convenient tools, you can make ladders, fishing rods. For special defense facilities, iron barricades… And if you reach a high level, you can even make a ship.”
I was surprised to hear that.
A worktable would be too convenient. I really wanted one.
” Please teach me how to use it, Havamar.”
“It’s easy. Just raise the level of the uninhabited island to “10”. Then it will be added to your skills.”
“I see, so it’s gradually added.”
“So, it’s best to use “Gale Tulle” to level up quickly”
“Got it. Thank you.”
“No problem. I’ll talk to you again if I feel like it. Well then, Rasty, Skor, let’s meet again.”
Havamar’s presence disappeared.
I see, we need to proceed with the uninhabited island development.
“That’s how it is, Skor.”
“S-So that’s how it is… Rasty-san, you’re friends with that mysterious voice, Havamar-san. I was surprised.”
“Rather than a friend, I’d say more like a benefactor. Thanks to him, I’m here and alive today.”
“Are you not curious about Havamar-san’s true identity?”
“I’d be lying if I say I’m not curious. But you know, this distance between us is just right for now. Well, he’ll probably show up eventually. At that time, I plan to thank him properly.”
I thought I was stating the obvious, but Skor looked perplexed. Why is she so shocked? Her reaction is different!
“Rasty-san, you can be serious sometimes.”
“I’m always serious!?”

With the all-purpose pickaxe “Gale Tulle” in hand, they headed towards the sea. This was Skor’s suggestion.
“So, we’ve come to the sea.”
“Yes, Rasty-san. Speaking of the sea, it’s all about ‘seafood’!”
“But we can’t go fishing. We don’t have any fishing line or hooks, and we need a worktable to make them.”
“It’s alright. Look, there are some shellfish!”
Come to think of it, there are a few of them scattered around. On the sandy beach, there are beautiful conch shells with impressive thorns – wait, even I know what those are. Aren’t they a high-class food ingredient in the Empire?
“Is that a queen conch?”
“Yes, that’s right. I saw it when I went swimming yesterday. But, isn’t it…”
Yes, the queen conch, which boasted a considerable size, is harmless unless attacked. However, it will counterattack if harmed. I remembered Alfred, the butler, explaining that as a piece of trivia.
“I see, so that’s why Skor didn’t pick it up.”
“That’s right. But now Rasty-san will defeat it, right!?”
“Leave it to me!! That’s a high-class ingredient!! I want to secure it.”
I readied my Gale Tulle to defeat the queen conch.
