Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill (とんでもスキルで異世界放浪メシ)

Wow! There's the sea!

So much water!

Awesome! I can't see the other side!

Seeing it again makes me feel really emotional!

It's just salty water.

Maybe for you, Fel.

But the sea is full of memories for me.

Fireworks, seaside shops, and barbecues...

To me, it is merely a habitat for sea monsters.

A-Anyways, let's go!

To the seaside town of Berléand!

Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill

Identification.

Yes.

Okay. You may pass!

Episode 23 "Fight?! The Great Sea Battle"

So, what kind of town is this...

I heard this place was famous for its fresh seafood market...

Bro, you an adventurer?

You've got bad luck, coming at a time like this.

Excuse me, did something happen?

A kraken appeared near the shore three days ago.

Huh?!

Hm?!

We can't even go out to fish right now.

Is that so... How terrible...

You even got a huge familiar with you.

I'm sure you wanted to feed them all 'til they burst.

I wanted to eat some fish, too...

Oh, thanks for coming!

I'm the guildmaster, Marx!

You're just like the rumors!

H-Hello...

I heard from Old Man Göran.

I've been waiting for you.

Have you already heard from the fishermen?

Yes, I got the gist of things.

Actually, there was a B-rank party here when the kraken appeared,

but they turned down the job because of how difficult sea monsters are.

I heard you take on high-level jobs.

How about it? Will you take care of it?

Yes. Leave it to me.

After all, kraken are delicious!

There you have it.

S-Sure.

Wait, are kraken edible?

Huh?

They are.

That's what he says...

Never heard they were edible...

W-Well, I'm just glad you'll take on the job.

Then, we'll make preparations and head out.

Yeah, we're depending on you.

Oh, by the way, where is the Merchant's Guild?

I'd like to rent a house for my familiars and me to live in.

Oh! Then, I'll write up an introduction letter real quick.

I'm sure they'll lend you a good place.

Thank you very much!

No, this is...

The mansion in Nijhoff can't even compare!

I can't believe we got to rent an entire villa of a former aristocrat!

Wow! It's so nice!

Seventy gold coins a week is expensive,

but it's totally worth it!

Sui is going house exploring!

Me, too!

This house is so big that it'll be fun flying around! Woo-hoo!

It's getting dark. Don't out past the garden!

Okay!

Got it!

Well, while Sui and Dora-chan are playing I should...

Shouldn't you start dinner soon?

The facilities look top-notch...

Now, what should I make?

Oh! Let's do that! Hayashi rice!

I was thinking about how I wanted to eat some when I made curry last time.

Let's keep the ingredients simple.

Mushrooms Broccoli

I also need fresh cream and roux...

All right!

For the meat...

Let's use the minotaur meat we got in the dungeon.

It's marbled like loin meat, so it should go well with it.

Let's do this!

First, thinly slice the minotaur meat, onions, and mushrooms.

Then add the onions to an oiled and heated pan, sautéing them until they become translucent.

After that, add the meat, salt, and pepper.

Wait until meat starts changing color before adding the mushrooms

and lightly sauté them all together.

Add water and skim off any scum that comes up while simmering it for about twenty minutes...

Turn off the heat and add the broken-up pieces of roux into the mixture.

Turn the heat back on and after the roux incorporates...

Pour it over rice

and add some boiled broccoli for some color and then drizzle the cream!

Yeah!

The minotaur and mushroom hayashi rice is done!

Minotaur and Mushroom Hayashi Rice

Hey, everyone!

Time to eat!

All right! Food!

Yay!

The dishes really make the meal seem like a feast!

Oh, what a fine aroma.

Yeah.

It looks yummy.

It's a little like the curry we had last time.

It's called hayashi rice.

Give it a try.

The sweetness and sourness is just right!

Though, the meat could have been thicker cuts!

It has a different flavor from the curry and I like this version, too!

The meat just melts in your mouth!

Fel and Dora-chan got sauce all over their mouth...

Well, I'm glad they think it's that delicious.

I should have some, too.

So good!

Their claim of having depth in their flavor isn't without reason!

The texture of the broccoli is a perfect accent to the meal, too!

Another serving!

Sure thing!

It was delicious.

Same for Sui.

I ate so much.

Good grief. I made a lot, but you guys still cleared me out.

Master, Sui wants to eat cake.

Huh? Even though you just ate so much?

Yeah.

It is a matter of course to eat dessert after a meal.

How is that a matter of course?

Pudding! Pudding!

Even you, Dora-chan?!

I can still eat if it's pudding!

Well, you guys'll have to work hard to take down the kraken tomorrow.

Okay, I'll bring out some dessert!

Yay!

I would like the thing called strawberry shortcake!

Pudding! Pudding!

Sui will let Master decide!

Okay, okay.

Sui gets a mont blanc and baked cheesecake.

Thank you!

As I thought. This sweetness and the tartness of the strawberry is a perfect match!

The pudding is just too good!

Sui loves them both!

Okay, okay.

We're all taking a bath after you guys are done eating those.

No problem!

Okay!

Fel, don't act like you didn't hear me.

Huh? Oh, yes...

We came to the harbor,

but isn't the kraken out in the sea?

How do we get out there?

What are you doing?

Hey, Fel.

Yesterday, you said, "Leave it to me."

But how did you defeat the kraken last time?

I used lightning magic from atop a cliff to attack the kraken below in the sea.

Atop a cliff?

Yes. It appeared close to a cliff near the shore.

So? What about this time?

That is a good point.

How do we get to the kraken?

Huh?! You don't know?!

You accepted the request so confidently!

I thought you had some kind of way to reach it!

I can defeat it as long as I can see it.

There's no way you could see it from here!

Either way, we need a boat to go offshore.

Let's ask the fishermen for help.

No! No way! Our boat would sink!

I'm thankful you want to take down the kraken, but I'm sorry...

Of course I can't!

I don't have a boat big enough to fit all of you to begin with!

What are we going to do?

Wee! Let's go! Let's go!

Oh! Something's there!

Nice! Awesome shot!

My turn next!

It's so much fun!

This is it!

You're doing great, Sui!

We might be able to reach the kraken at this rate!

Is Sui amazing?

You're absolutely amazing! I'm so glad we have you, Sui!

Yay!

To think we'd be able to travel so fast and comfortably.

Everything would be perfect if this was a normal boat trip.

We've gone out pretty far...

It is a bit hard to tell since it's in the sea.

But according to its presence, the kraken should be up ahead.
