 Once my day was over, I offered a chunk of Jewel Boar meat to Tiger’s Tail Inn and requested a steak.

 

 The Orc steaks I had had up to now were delicious, but the Jewel Boar meat was something beyond that, according to other people.

 

 Tender and juicy! Melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness!

 

 Even I, who do not eat that much meat, could easily eat three pieces of it.

 

 I was extremely nervous about the rarity of the meat, but I don’t have to worry about it because I have tons of it in my [Infinite Storage].

 

 I guess good food is good food, right?

 

 

 The next morning, I asked to use the kitchen at Tiger’s Tail Inn after the busy morning hours.

 

 I figured I could buy some things at the market during the busy kitchen hours and make them during my free time.

 

 The portable meal set consisted of hard bread and dried meat, which, to be frank, were not tasty even if they lasted for a day.

 

 

 I have my [Infinite Storage] and Magic Bag so I don’t have to carry them with me. However, when I carry half-cooked food with me and eat it, like when I go camping, I want to eat soft bread, white rice, and fresh vegetables, not hard bread, cooked haphazardly.

 

 

 Thanks to Jewel Boar meat last night, I was given permission to borrow the kitchen from the Tiger’s Tail Inn.

 

 

 I strolled through the market in Lotus Town and was able to buy two large bags of flour, tea and tea sets, fresh vegetables such as cabbage and peppers, beans, nuts, fruits, and a whole bottle of olive oil-like cooking oil, a few spices, and honey.

 

 

 Honey was expensive. A gold coin for a teeny-tiny jar?

 

 I guess beekeeping is not well known.

 

 There was also syrup, but it was only one gold coin for a very small jar.

 

 Is it because sugar is scarce? Sweet things are expensive anyway.

 

 All I knew was that if I could make and sell sugar, I would be able to make a lot of money.

 

 

 The things I wanted but could not find were dry yeast, rice, sugar, soy sauce, miso, and so on.

 

 I went to the trouble of buying flour, but without dry yeast, I can’t make bread right away.

 

 I don’t have time to make natural yeast at the moment.

 

 

 I decided to make some granola because I should just make fresh portable food with what I have on hand.

 

 I put some nuts, some vegetables, some fruit, and some flour in a frying pan until the water is absorbed, put it in a tray that Huey made for me, pour a mixture of honey and oil over it, and bake it in the oven for about 15 minutes.

 

 If I cut them into bars in the tray, I can take them out one at a time when I need them.

 

 

 I finished my cooking before noon because I didn’t have much time to have the kitchen to myself.

 

 I was able to put them in the oven in batches, so I was able to make about 300 granola bars.

 

 The staff at Tiger’s Tail Inn were watching me work, so I gave them about 30 of the granola bars.

 

 They were not very tasty to me, but the people of Tiger’s Tail Inn ate them up with gusto.

 

 

 Since this was the last time I would be staying at Tiger’s Tail Inn, I said my goodbyes and left the kitchen before the lunchtime rush began.

 

 I was told to stop by whenever I came to Lotus Town, and I agreed and left, but I wondered when I would come back next.

 

 

 I looked at the quest board to get an order for an escort to the Royal Capital from the guild, but it turned out that escort missions are only available to D rank and above, and I can only get up to E rank quests, so I can’t get an escort mission.

 

 

 Oh, what a pity, it was a way to kill two birds with one stone, getting paid and getting to my destination.

 

 Well, I can’t take what I can’t take, so I’ll just continue on my way.

 

 Not all bad if I consider that I got to use the bath on the way.

 

 

 Looking back from the quest board and looking at the counter, Anne-san and Sophia-san were talking to the adventurers.

 

 

 I wished Anne-san good luck at the counter and told Sophia-san that I was heading to the Royal Capital.

 

 Guild Master Seth couldn’t meet because he was going to the guard’s station, so I said to Sophia-san to contact the guild at the Royal Capital when he needs to contact me about Zadok. But maybe they won’t need to get in touch.

 

 

 According to the information I got from Sophia-san, it takes about seven days to get to the Royal Capital using a horse-drawn carriage

 

 There were also horse-drawn carriages available, but I decided to go on foot like adventurers.

 

 If I used Support Magic on my body and ran, I could get there a little faster than by riding a horse-drawn carriage, and I could also use the bath on the way.

 

 

 I left from the West Gate and headed west, passing through the forest on the way.

 

 During the day, I put Huey on our shoulders and use [Physical Enhancement] to speed up the journey.

 

 At night, I set up camp in a tent at a place a little off the road.

 

 

 We ate Jewel Boar meat steak and vegetables in a pot.

 

 Since we had all the spices we needed, we made a seasoning with spiced salt to be used right away in the camp.

 

 It is a seasoning made by mixing salt and dried herbs.

 

 Thanks to the seasoning, the meat tasted good, and I was able to enjoy a comfortable camping life.

 

 

 But on the fifth day of my journey, the weather was rainy.

 

 

 Should we wait for the rain to stop? I went out of the tent and looked up at the sky, but it didn’t look like it would clear up anytime soon.

 

 I asked Huey about it while he and I ate granola bars in the tent.

 

 

“Huey’s mucus is water-resistant, right? If I spray it on a cloth, will it repel water?” (Louis)

 

(No problem. That would work.) (Huey)

 

“Can you still make it as soft as the cloth?” (Louis)

 

(Of course. I can do it.) (Huey)

 

 

 I handed him a large piece of cloth and Huey sprayed it with mucus.

 

 It dried quickly, so I cut out the middle with a knife and made a poncho.

 

 Yes, it worked, but would it really repel the rain? I went outside to see if it would really repel the rain, and it did.

 

 That’s my Huey! I was so happy that I couldn’t help but pet him.

 

 

 My head and face were wet, but I figured it would be better than waiting for the rain to stop, so I decided to leave.

 

 I put the tent in my [Infinite Storage] without folding it.

 

 

 Perhaps it was because I had strengthened my body, but I was able to run on the muddy road without getting my feet caught in the mud.

 

 However, as I had expected when I left the tent, my body did not get wet, but my head and face did.

 

 Eventually, I thought about putting a hood on my poncho to make it into rain gear, but when I imagined the finished product, I realized I looked like a kindergartener.

 

 

 As I ran along, taking breaks along the way, I saw a group of horse-drawn wagons parked in front of the street.

 

 As I approached, I could hear the sound of a swordfight.
