CHAPTER 6: I DISPLAYED MY OUTRAGEOUS SKILL IMBA POWERS
It has been 3 days since our
departure from Kiers.
In reality, if I had taken the
stagecoach, I would have
been entering the Veenen
country right about now.
And it will take another
half day to reach one of
Veenen's border cities –
Fallieres.
Still, our mode of transportation
is walking. We have only
covered half the distance
of our total journey.
Although walking is very
time consuming, we did not
meet with any major problems
while on the road.
Iron Will has been rather
exceptional and had slain
all the demon goblins and
wolves we met along the
way without much effort.
As expected of a C rank
party, this much isn't enough
to bring out their full potentials.
"The Sun is about to set. This
is as far as we get for today."
It is also time for me to make dinner.
This time, I carefully considered
what to have on the menu.
It cannot be too original or
elaborate-looking and following the standards of this world's
food is not good either,
so I made an effort to
make something simple.
My plan for today was
roasted sausages, pot-au-feu
and bread.
Everyone seems to like meat
and did not voice any
objections to it.
First, I added the sliced
bacon into the heated pot.
Next, the vegetables and
sausages were thrown in.
From there, after sautéing,
water was poured in. Once
the water started to boil,
stock cube was added and
everything was cooked
together under gentle heating.
"Mm, I have a great feeling
about this."
From tasting it, it seems that
the saltiness from adding the
bacon and sausage is just
right so the food should be
ready to go.
All there is left is the roasting
of the sausages.
"Dinner has arrived~"
I placed the pot-au-feu in a
wooden bowl while placing
both the roasted sausage and
bread on a wooden plate before
passing it over to them.
"Aa~ so flavourful. As usual, Makooda-san's food is top-notch."
Vincent said as he paused
momentarily from his feasting.
Rita responded to that with a
"Uh uh" while nodding.
"It's really yummy. Thanks to
the heavenly food, I have this incomparable tingly good feeling
all over my body."
"After eating Makooda-san's food,
I feel more power surging through
me than normal too."
Franca and Rita use of words seem
to resemble those of a yes-man.
"Food is extremely important to
humans after all. Food, if tasty,
changes
their way of looking at things, ya know."
The habitually reserved Ramon commented.
Yep, Ramon-san is pleased with
my food. Thanks.
"Indeed it's like that. People have
to eat in order to live. It's obvious
that eating good food is better
than eating rubbish. We are
insuch luck to have the
opportunity to eat
such divine food while on a
journey."
Lastly, Werner-san summed it up.
I was in total embarrassment
thanks to their praises.
This equates to the victory
of the Japanese food
industry I suppose.
However, what did Franca
and Rita mean when they
said they felt tingly and
a surge of power?
I did not cook up something
that incredible though...
It is not some terrible effect
though, but I have somehow
gotten interested in it.
Let's do some appraisal
shall we?

"Bwahaha"
"W-What happened to you?
"Gohohogohogohogoho, erm,
no, so-, something in the soup
had gotten into my throat,
relax, gohohoo…"
Wha, what is this , the +27 and +3.
I had starting laughing aloud
instinctively.
It is because of the food I made?
My food is the reason for it?
I tried to appraise the pot-au-feu
that was currently on my hands.
[Pot-au-feu]
Description: A pot-au-feu
made with ingredients from
another world. Physical power
is boosted by approximately 20% for one hour.
Oh...
I was right.
Wait wait, if the pot-au-feu
raises physical power, what
about magic power? Is it the
sausage or is it the bread?
[Sausage]
Description: Sausage from
another world. Magic power
is increased by 2% for 10 minutes.
[Sliced bread]
Description: Sliced bread from
another world. Magic power
is increased by 1% for 10 minutes.
Right, both the sausage and
the sliced bread contributed to it.
Thinking about it, this is really
cool.
Just by eating, you can raise
your physical power and magical power.
If anybody else knew...
Ughh, this gives me the shivers.
Surely, absolutely, definitely,
if somebody knew, It's gonna
be real bad.
Luckily, only summoned heroes
have appraisal skills while
most countries and guilds
do not own a magic tools to
do appraisals.
Furthermore, everyone
usually use the magical appraisal
tool to check their own
status so the chance of
somebody finding out is very low.
Nobody should be able to learn
of this as long as I stay silent on this matter.
My mouth is zipped.
I will definitely not talk about this matter.
