01x05 - The Goddess of Wind Has a Sweet Tooth

[bunniefuu]

When did my servant, Fenrir, establish

a familiar contract with a human?

And with a human like that!

A human like that

That human is the master

of my servant, Fenrir

CAMPFIRE COOKING IN ANOTHER

WORLD WITH MY ABSURD SKILL

EPISODE 5

"THE GODDESS OF WIND HAS A SWEET TOOTH"

Hey. We have arrived.

What is wrong with you?

Why are you covered in injuries?

That's because you bolted through the

forest without caring about anything!

We've already reached the sea?

Not yet.

I now have a craving for fish,

so I have brought us to a lake.

I shall fish here.

Fish?

But we don't even have a fishing rod

This is the easiest way to fish.

A good haul. Take whatever fish you like!

Yeah, yeah.

Are they all dead?

I only shocked them

into a near-dead state.

If you leave them alone,

they will regain consciousness.

I feel bad for them.

Trout.

So, are they like trout

or salmon from my world?

I bet they'd taste great

salted and grilled.

This one is huge!

King?

This one is definitely for Fel.

Grab that one, as well.

It tingles deliciously on the tongue.

The colors on it make it look poisonous.

Is it?

POISON LAKE FISH

Poison

What are you doing?!

I think that tingling flavor you like

is from its poison.

Well, that is delicious in its own way.

Fel, it may not affect you

because you're blessed,

but it will definitely affect me.

Then, do not eat it.

Listen! I can't let poisonous ingredients

touch the other ingredients!

I'll make you something delicious

with the other fish, so give it up!

Well, all right, then

We need a fire to make salt-grilled fish.

So we'll have to start a fire first.

Okay! Help me out, Fel.

Flour and butter for sure.

After that

We need mushrooms and

Hey. The meat there.

Nope.

-Hey. Meat.

-Nope.

-Hey! Meat!

-Nope.

Meat

I really gotta thank the

"Wandering Chef" series.

I can't believe those videos

ended up helping me out!

First, take out the innards

and clean it out thoroughly with water.

After skewering it, salt it generously,

and grill it slowly.

Not yet.

Next, I'll deal with the king trout.

Scrape off the scales, chop off the head,

and take out the innards.

Fillet the body by following

along the spine on both sides.

Not bad for my first time.

All right, I'll try grilling

the fish in foil first.

Layer some onions on buttered foil.

Add the fish and sprinkle it

with salt and pepper.

After you add some shimeji

and enoki mushrooms on top,

drizzle some sake and add a pat of butter.

Still not yet.

Next is fish meunière.

Sprinkle some salt and pepper onto

some pieces of fish and let it sit a bit.

Pat off the excess water and coat it

thinly with flour, then grill it!

Good! Good!

Hey, I think these have cooked

quite thoroughly, as well.

SALT-GRILLED VIOLET TROU

All right, done!

FOIL-GRILLED KING TROU

KING TROUT MEUNIÈRE

No! No! You've gotta open the foil first.

This aroma! So, it was trapped inside!

I guess I'll start from

the salt-grilled ones.

So good!

So flavorful and crispy.

This is wonderful, as well!

I'll add this to my meal tonight

Ta-da!

A can of beer!

Sometimes, I really get a craving for it!

The foil-grilled fish goes well with

the mushrooms and totally warms you up.

There's no fishy taste to the meunière

and the tartar sauce matches it perfectly!

Hate to toot my own horn,

but this is great!

An endless loop. This is happiness.

Hey, there is no more.

Another serving.

I want more of the wrapped ones and the

ones covered in this white substance!

That's tartar sauce.

It's really great stuff.

Oh, eat these while I make more.

Considering how delicious these are,

I could eat one lake worth of fish.

I can't keep up with that

I'm so full!

Having a drink outside like this

makes me feel like we're camping.

Can you eat fish like this

whenever you camp?

Well, I don't know about that.

What was that?!

A-A slime?

Looks like it.

What about your barrier?

It may have already been here

when I cast the barrier around us.

Then what was the point of a barrier?

There is no need to fear something so weak

it cannot even be considered small fry.

Yeah, yeah. I'm a weakling.

Slimes don't attack?

A slime of that level can only be prey.

Cold and jiggly. It's just like jelly!

It's so cute.

What kind of stats does it have?

It's so weak

Three days old?

It'd probably die instantly

if it met other monsters.

Is it hungry?

I want to feed it something,

but we're out of food.

Huh?! It dissolved the trash?!

Slimes will even eat random

rocks lying around.

It's an omnivore?!

You can't eat this! This, either!

You're amazing!

You took care of all the trash!

You really did a good job.

What? Do you understand what I'm saying?

You're really friendly for a monster.

That thing has already

become your familiar.

Huh?

I didn't make a contract though?!

The slime wished to be your familiar

and you accepted its feelings.

That is enough to create a contract.

Look at your status.

The number of familiars increased

It still does not have a name.

Hurry and name it.

Huh? Well

Since you're a slime

Sui!

Your name is Sui from now on!

Stone b*llet!

You are quite slow-witted.

I don't want to hear that

from a genius like you.

I finally found another type of magic

I have affinity with other than fire!

Should we go and get some

hands-on experience again?

You grew more skilled

with fire magic afterwards.

You've got to be kidding! I never want

to experience something like that again!

But you will never get better

at earth magic at this rate.

You're so mean!

Not this.

Sui, you've definitely gotten bigger.

It's just been a few days,

but you've gained a lot of levels.

Could eating otherworldly items be

the same as eating otherworldly food?

Sui's just been eating the trash, though.

It's been a big help.

Otherworldly trash was really

piling up in my Item Box!

Hey. Hey!

I have grown hungry.

Looks like his hunger

is as ravenous as usual.

We had lunch pretty early today.

I'll get started.

I would like meat.

Yes. Yes.

I'll make some for Sui, too!

Miso-marinated orc meat bowl!

Actually,

I prepped the orc meat yesterday.

-I just marinated it with miso sauce

-Delicious!

The orc meat I ate previously was good,

but this is exquisite in its own way!

Listen!

Here's yours, Sui.

Don't eat the outside today.

Just the inside.

That's right.

Welp, I'll have some, too!

Orc meat is so tasty!

The meat absorbed the miso sauce

really well!

Perfection! Cabbage is

a match made in heaven!

The texture is great, and it keeps the

flavor from overpowering everything!

Another serving.

Add more meat this time.

So fast!

Sui, does it taste good?

Looks like Sui wants seconds, too.

Looks like I've gotten over

the weirdness of orc meat already.

I guess that means I've gotten

used to the food over here.

Sui hasn't eaten anything other than this

food and an empty bottle today, right?

Oh! Sui gained some buffs!

So eating the food gives temporary buffs,

but doesn't affect the level directly?

Sui can even clean all the dishes.

After teaching it to dissolve

only the dirty parts,

I don't have to waste water or soap!

It's such a good kid!

Thank you, Sui!

In comparison

You have to work hard to get just as big.

Yeah.

That's right! This was Sui's first meal,

so we should celebrate!

I checked last time.

For our after meal dessert,

let's eat dorayaki!

DORAYAKI AND GREEN TEA

It's so relaxing.

This is similar to the sweet bread

I ate previously.

The outside is very fluffy

and the dark beans in it is even sweeter

than what I had before.

It's red bean paste.

The anpan you had before

also had red bean paste in it.

The type you ate last time

was crushed koshi-an.

The dorayaki uses chunky tsubu-an.

They have completely

different textures, right?

Koshi-an?! I must eat it once again to

truly compare! Hurry and prepare some!

Next time! Next time!

That's right. This is the first time you

ate something sweet, Sui. Do you like it?

Looks like it likes it.

You are finally awake.

I have important matters

to discuss with you. Sit up.

Huh?

Why are you being so serious all of

a sudden? Did you get a stomachache?

That is impossible.

Listen well.

Last night, I received a divine message

from Ninrir, the Goddess of Wind.

Isn't Ninrir the goddess that blessed you?

Yes. Did you not despair over the fact

you do not have a blessing from the gods?

Well, yeah. Of course I'd be jealous

Huh?! Wait!

My goddess heard your wishes and

is willing to gift you with a blessing.

Really, Ninrir?!

However, there is a single condition.

She wishes to receive prayer offerings

of otherworldly sweets once a week.

Huh? Why did she ask for otherworldly

sweets, specifically?

Unfortunately, it is impossible

to grant you a full blessing like me,

but she can offer you a minor blessing.

Minor?

Even a minor blessing will make

you immune to status ailments,

except instant death effects

and very strong curses.

On top of that, you will be

able to use magic more easily.

I'd be super grateful for that!

However!

You cannot forget

to offer prayer once a week.

She's really emphasizing that.

Does the goddess want to

eat sweets that badly?

What the heck is she doing?

This is the mercy of Ninrir.

Be grateful as you accept it.

That's right! If I could get a blessing

just by offering some sweets

Of course I can send offerings and prayer,

but what do I do about the altar?

And is there a specific way

I need to pray?

Anything can be used as an altar.

For example, you could simply

use a rock like that.

The words and actions of your

prayer do not matter, either.

The important thing is

to convey your feelings.

I see.

I almost forgot.

She wishes her first offering to be of

anpan, cream bread, and melon bread.

She's requesting specific offerings?

Like I thought, the goddess

just wants to eat sweets

SWEET BREAD SET ANPAN, CREAM BREAD,

MELON BREAD, AND MILK COFFEE

This is more like a tribute

than an offering.

Ninrir, Goddess of Wind.

I have prepared the items

you were hoping for.

Have some matching coffee

milk with it, as well.

Please give me your blessing!

This is the blessing of a goddess?

A minor one. It seems you

received it successfully.

Thank you so much, Ninrir!

Finally!

This anpan even appeared in my dreams!

What is this fluffy thing! It's so soft!

This must be the happiness

humans speak of!

Exquisite! This black stuffing has

just the right amount of sweetness.

A genius! This anpan must

have been made by a genius!

It's already gone.

Happiness does not last long

This drink! It has a slight bitterness

and goes perfectly with sweets!

Does it match well with other sweets?

No! No!

These otherworldly sweets are so precious.

I should savor them one at a time.

One at a time

Savor

This isn't my fault! Otherworldly

sweets are just too delicious!

Oh, no! I forgot to ask for dorayaki!

Stone b*llet!

All right! It hit!

Okay. Okay. That one felt pretty good!

The size of the rock is bigger

and the speed has increased a lot.

This is all thanks to Ninrir.

I feel great and my skills

are improving a lot faster.

Thanks. Sui,

you've already reached level 13!

Maybe you'll evolve

if you keep getting stronger?

Well, a normal guy like me can only

improve with practice! Let's do this!

I'm so tired

Using too much magic

really does a number on my body

I should eat sweets at a time like this!

So sweet!

But layering this sweetness with something

bitter creates such a perfect balance.

Do you want some, too?

You're really good at asking for things.

Fel is taking a pretty long time.

Something is bothering me.

And he just ran off.

I have returned.

Oh, speak of the devil.

Have you eaten something while I was gone?

He caught me

Practicing magic wore me out,

so I ate a sweet called chocolate.

Sweet?! I have grown tired from running.

I would like some chocolate, as well.

You? Tired? You're a legendary monster

than can easily destroy an entire country.

Well, I have to carry you

and run every day.

I am so tired I can no longer move.

Th-This guy

Aw, jeez!

Such rich sweetness! I do not dislike it!

Yeah. Yeah. Is that so?

I am the Goddess of Wind, Ninrir.

Can you hear me?

Goddess?!

This is a divine message.

No way! A direct message?!

Listen well.

Immediately prepare some chocolate

and send me a prayer.

Oh! Offer me some dorayaki, as well.

Is this really a divine message?

Yes. This is a divine message.

-Isn't this just begging for some swee

-This is a divine message!

It's only been a few days

since my last offering and prayer.

Weren't you the one who said once a week?

Sh-Shut up! Gods need something

to look forward to, as well!

Your real thoughts are showing.

What did you do

with the sweets I sent you before?

I finished them a long time ago!

That's what I thought.

Good job!

Where did she learn that?

You are quite devoted to prayer.

I am impressed.

I'm not devoted,

it's more like I'm being harassed

Now that you have finished prayer,

let us depart.

Huh?!

Hurry and get on. Come, get on.

Why are you acting like this?

Do we need to hurry for some reason?

N-No, not particularly.

How is your earth magic now?

Did practice result in any improvement?

Yeah! I can still only

sh**t out one stone,

but the power and speed

has definitely increased!

It seems I must take you there, after all.

Did you say something?

No. Nothing.

ANOTHER WORLD THEATER: SECOND SERVING

He finally did it!

I've been watching that human

ever since I saw his skill to

summon otherworldly ingredients,

but I can't believe

he's also able to summon sweets!

Anpan

I get the gist of its sweetness.

I want to taste it, too

But I can't interfere so thoughtlessly!

The other gods would look down on me

But, anpan

This isn't fair!

I want to eat it, too!

Me, too! Me, too!

This is Ninrir!

Why do otherworldly sweets

disappear so quickly?

There is never enough
