Chapter 29 – Crate Cooking Utensils!

Regarding the issue with the item box’s carrying capacity, the matter has been settled. As I was about to return to my room, my stomach rumbled. Come to think of it, it was already night.

When I was thinking about what to do, Skor appeared from the second floor.

“Umm, Rasty-san. I would like to start preparing dinner soon. Is it okay if I use the kitchen?”

“I don’t mind. The ingredients are wild boar meat, conchs, and raspberries.”

“Then, let’s have a party to celebrate the completion of the house.”

“That’s a great idea. I’ll leave it to Skor.”

“Yes, leave it to me.”

Skor headed to the kitchen, but soon became disappointed. I went to see what happened. The cause was quickly identified.

“This is… “

“There are no cooking utensils… I can’t cook without them.”

There weren’t even knives or cutting boards. No frying pans or pots either. In other words, it looks like I, who has the skill, have to make them.

“Big brother, as you can probably guess, a worktable is needed to create cooking utensils. If you don’t level up immediately, it will remain inconvenient.”

Havamar, who was standing next to me without me realizing, said so. I see, if I don’t level up a little more, even if we have a house, the essential parts will still be inconvenient. Now, we need household goods. Cooking utensils are particularly important for eating.

It’s a matter of life and death!!

Up until now, we managed to do things like grill meat with wooden sticks, but when it comes to the kitchen, we can’t do that anymore.

“Okay, Skor. I’m sorry, but today we’ll have a barbecue outside.”

“Aww… I wanted to cook.”

When I saw Skor’s dejected expression, I thought that I should try harder. That’s right, I’ll develop cooking utensils to eat delicious food.

◆

We surrounded the “Campfire Lv.1” outside and grilled the wild boar meat.

Skor was on the right side of the wooden bench I made, and Havamar was on the left. I was sandwiched between the two girls. ……What’s with this distance?

Alfred was grilling meat a little further away. In the midst of the cozy party atmosphere, I explained the situation to everyone.

“Listen, everyone. Today, the “house” has been completed and we have secured a place to sleep. However, we still face inconvenience when it comes to food. This is a serious situation.”

Alfred, with a stern expression, spoke up.

“Rasty-sama, what do you mean by that?”

“Oh, right. Alfred wasn’t there. I checked the kitchen earlier and found out that there were no cooking utensils.”

“Wha- What did you say ―――?!”

Alfred’s hands trembled as he realized the gravity of the situation. In just a few seconds, he grasped the seriousness of the matter. That’s right, food is essential for survival.

Since a nice kitchen was added, I want to eat delicious food. Delicious food is essential to boost morale.

“Here’s the thing, I won’t be able to develop any cooking utensils tonight since it’s already late. I think I’ll do it tomorrow. So, everyone, I’m sorry… but can you help me?”

“Of course! I love cooking. For that, I can lend a hand, even if it means taking off one or two layers of clothing, even going naked!!”

I stopped Skor from really trying to take off her clothes. Stop!

“Rasty-sama, I am ready to follow your orders anytime if necessary. This Alfred, I will definitely complete your mission.”

The strongest butler with glowing red eyes said so. He is too reliable. Alfred has rich life experience and should also know survival skills. Let’s borrow more of his wisdom.

“Big brother, should I take my clothes off too?!”

“Why are you so happy to take off your clothes, Havamar?!”

I stopped the perverted little sister and the perverted elf. They’re both beautiful, so it’s too much for me to handle.

“Big brother, big brother~♡”

“Stop rubbing your head against me.”

“Aren’t we brother and sister~♪”

Havamar was unexpectedly a bit of a spoiled child. Well, it’s okay. it’s just like a brother and sister. ―― But then, Skor puffed up and clung to my arm as if to oppose.

Aah, this is such a mess…!
