Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

Chapter 88: Setia´s woodworking and fish sauce birth

It's Saturday morning, I finish my breakfast and log into the game as soon as I can and I feel warm inside my chest. I looked and saw a white-haired fox with ears. It's Koihi. She was sleeping comfortably. When I pet her head, her ears droop. It's cute. And then there's the tail.

When I look at the tail, which sometimes touches my body, I get the urge to touch it, so I do. It was fluffy.

"N...nn..."

She was trembling a little, as if she was still weak. I decided not to go any further. I moved Koihi aside and went downstairs. Then Gray and Yuuga came to snuggle up to me. The way they're wagging their tails, I'd say they're asking for food.

And downstairs, Lily and the others were using Byakuya as a pillow. Hey, hey.

Gray and the others, I placed them at home last night. They're not much different from ordinary dogs. There are even celebrities who have white tigers in their yard. It shouldn't be a problem.

I stand in the kitchen and start cooking the rabbit meat. Today, I'm going to try rabbit tsukune. I plan to make a big batch and deliver it to Mocchi-san. But then I found something shocking. The glass container in which I had been making the fish sauce for the char had turned out to be just right. It's too dangerous to use it right away, though. I'll just make tsukune for now. As I'm making the tsukune, Lily and the others wake up to the smell. Well, I guess I'll have a meal then.

Rabbit Meat Tsukune: Rarity 4 Cooking Quality E+

Effect: 40% fullness recovery, 2 hours strength up (medium)

A meat dish made by mincing rabbit meat, rolling it up and baking it.

The blood has been drained thoroughly and it is very tasty.

Lily and the others ate it with relish. Then, Setia reported to me.

"I made my bow and Takuto-sama's staff out of the cypress that Takuto-sama had given me"

Setia took them out with confidence. Let's appraise them.

Cypress Staff: Rarity 3 Staff Quality E

Weight: 10 Durability: 40 Attack Power: 15

Additional Effect: Magic Attack Power Up (Small)

A staff made of cypress. It's not suitable for magic, but it's sturdy and smells of cypress.

Cypress Bow: Rarity 3 Bow Quality E-

Weight: 10 Durability: 15

Additional Effect: Increases the attack power of arrows (small)

A bow made of cypress. It is sturdy and has the scent of cypress.

The string is made of spider thread and caterpillar thread, so the durability is reduced.

Cypress Arrow: Rarity 3 Arrow Quality E

Weight: 5 Durability: 20 Attack Power: 20

Additional Effect: Poison Effect (slight)

An arrow made of cypress. It has a higher attack power than normal wooden arrows and the arrowhead is made of bee stinger.

I see. The staff and arrows are good, but the only strings I have for the bow are spider thread and caterpillar thread. I don't think I can make a good bow with that. Besides, the bow and arrows weigh 15. I don't think the current Setia will be able to handle it. She's about to evolve, so when she does, she might be able to try out some bow equipment. The more tactics you have, the better.

"I made it just for Takuto-sama, so please take good care of it, okay?"

"Ah, yes. I'll take good care of it"

"Yes!"

The conversation was heavy. The three girls looked envious when I patted Setia on the head for her hard work. I'm not sure if they approve of Setia's hard work, considering she's not pouting this time. However, I can't keep petting her.

When I stopped petting her, Setia asked me about my plans for today.

"What are you going to do today?"

"'Well, I was going to do the training I promised you. The fish sauce seems to be just right, so I'm going to try that first"

"That's what Takuto-sama was making, isn't it? But then I should make it right away?"

"It's not that simple, you know. That stuff is rotten fish, right? What do you think happens when you open it?"

I ask and Ion answers.

"The smell will fill this room...?"

"That's right. It's a bad smell, even for me. Gray and the others are going to have a rough time"

My summoned beasts were frightened when I said that. But this is not a threat, it's a fact. So I leave the girls alone and return the others to their summoning stones. Lily and the others didn't listen to me, when I tried to return them. I'm sure they'll regret it.

Now let's get some fish sauce.

I took out the stone filter I had asked Hephaestus to use and we were ready to go. Now open the container.

Pu~n

The strong smell of rotting fish is released and Lily and the others writhe in agony. That's why I said it. Return to the summoning stone.

"What!? This smell~!?"

"My nose!? My nose~!?"

"Is this a natural smell!?"

"I...can't anymore..."

Koihi collapses. I can't believe it. I don't know what to say.

Then I hear Hephaestus screaming from the basement. He doesn't know. I didn't tell him. Well, there's no turning back now. I set the rotten char in the filtration system. All that's left is the bones and the rest is sludge.

"All that's left is to let the fish sauce accumulate in the container below"

"""Eh!?"""

Lily and the others were in despair as I pronounced the sentence of hell. But it's something they've said themselves. I'll just be selfish and let them stay with me until the end.

And after a while, the filtration ends. I appraise it.

Char fish sauce (undiluted): Rarity 5 Cooking Quality D-

Effect: None

Fish sauce made by fermenting char.

It's undiluted, so be careful not to eat it as it is, the taste is strong and smells terrible.

Success! And I've succeeded in making my first rarity 5! Fish sauce is a great thing. But this is not the end. As the description says, you can't drink it like this. It needs to be diluted. Just diluting it is not enough. This is where the filtered residue comes in. Put it in a pot, add water and boil it down. Naturally, there is a strong smell.

Lily and the others are pounding the floor in agony. Don't break it.

Then filter it again. The girls fall to the floor and don't move.

And when I combine the finished product with the first one, it's done.

Char Fish Sauce: Rarity 5 Cooking Grade D

Effect: None

This fish sauce is made by fermenting char.

The undiluted liquid is diluted and adjusted to taste just right.

Let's try a taste. Delicious! It tastes just like fish sauce! And then the info comes on. Eh? What's this?

You have successfully created a fermented dish. Fermentation has been added to your cooking skills

Hmm? My first pattern. Is this like the addition of the technique of fermentation to the cooking skill? Let's try to use it. No, before that, I get the throwing skill and the one-handed sword skill because it is a good opportunity. Gravel is my trump card, you know. I wanted to get it. And when I looked at my status, I saw that Setia's woodworking had improved. The materials are good and she's made a lot, so it's no surprise.

You have acquired the one-handed sword skill

You have acquired the throwing skill

My remaining skill points are 16 pt. Good. Then I went to the fish shop and bought a char and used fermentation and to my surprise, the char rotted in an instant. Seriously!? Apparently, this technique? Can be used to ferment in an instant. I can produce all the fish sauce I want. I did it!

I was so impressed that my cooking skill went up. I guess its because of Rarity 5. In the midst of all this, there were four collapsed girls on the floor.
