Chapter 41: Making a Frying Pan and Knife

I carried the harvested items back home.

There were rice and wheat, and they were quite heavy because there was a considerable amount.

Suie helped me carry them, so it was a relief. She may look like a girl, but she is a magic dragon, so she possesses great strength.

With the ingredients secured, it's time to start cooking.

Suie seemed like she wanted to say something.

"Franz-sama, vegetables alone won't provide enough nutrition. I'll go get some meat. Franz-sama, please prepare the rice."

"Huh, meat? Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, I'm a magic dragon after all. There are monsters nearby, and I'll hunt a beast-type monster for the meat."

"Well then, I'll rely on you."

She was a beautiful girl that you wouldn't imagine as a magic dragon. She seems to be going to fetch some beast meat, but I decided to leave it to her. Well, having some meat would be nice.

I want to cook the harvested items now.

This is where the power of an alchemist comes into play.

I will use alchemy to create a frying pan for cooking.

A frying pan is essential for cooking, and with this one, I can prepare most dishes.

So, I'm going to make a frying pan.

We have mithril, and there were plenty of Jagaman claws.

I will combine mithril steel and Jagaman claws to make it.

I haven't made a frying pan in alchemical experiments before, but I've seen one in Japan, and it seems easier to imagine than agricultural tools.

Using alchemy, I softened the mithril steel and mixed in the Jagaman claws.

I shaped the heated steel into the form of a frying pan, and it was completed.

My alchemically processed mithril steel has shown special abilities.

I hope it works well with the frying pan too.

"The frying pan is complete!"

Using the same method, I made a knife.

"Alright, the knife is done. Now we can cook!"

I cooked the rice in the frying pan.

Suie provided the water, but there was no source of heat.

Since I cannot use fire magic, I'll use alchemy as a substitute.

I have some alchemical gunpowder, so I'll use it to light up some grass.

"If we burn the grass with gunpowder, we should have enough heat. It's a bit troublesome, though."

With the frying pan, I cooked the rice and vegetables together, and the simmered rice was complete!

"Alright, the simmered rice is done!"
