"Ah, damn, these guys!"
Mi Ke screamed in anger while running away.
"...Do you want me to take action?"
"Please! Hulim, please help this time. These guys are too annoying!"
"good."
Hulim raised the Seven Lights toward the sky.
boom--!
Then a beam of light emanated from the top of the Seven Stars.
When the beam of light reached a certain height, it suddenly split into dozens of smaller beams of light, and then, as if locking onto the position of each demon ape, it launched a precise attack from the sky.
Then,
The forest, which had been extremely noisy, returned to its tranquility...
"That's a great help, Hulim!"
Miko said gratefully.
"It's just a piece of cake."
"I'm back!"
At this time, Alicia walked out of the woods.
"Did you get it?"
"I got it."
Alicia took out a bag and gestured.
Inside was the magic crystals she had just collected from the lair of these demon apes.
This is her and Miko's tactic,
Miko lured out all the magic apes, and then Alicia took the opportunity to sneak in and collect magic crystals.
As for why they didn't let Hulim take action, it was because of the current difficulty. If Hulim took action, the two of them would have no room to perform. Even if it was for the purpose of training, it would be best for the two of them to take action before things became difficult.
"Oh~! We found quite a few this time~!"
This time, the number of magic crystals collected in the bag was the largest ever.
"It's probably because these guys are very troublesome to most students."
"Naturally, there are more magic crystals in places like this. Well, the magic ape himself should also be interested in collecting these things..."
Alicia put the magic crystals she had just collected into her backpack and asked:
"Hulim, where are we going next?"
"Um... ..."
Hulim glanced up at the sky.
The sky was already turning dim.
"No, we won't be looking for the magic crystal next. Let's find a safe place to camp and sleep outdoors."
... ...
Crack! Pop!
In the forest at night.
The crackling of a campfire could be heard faintly.
Inside a small rocky cave.
Hulim and the other two were sitting around the campfire.
On the campfire, there were grilled skewers made from the game that had been hunted not long ago.
When the surface of the barbecue turned brown and the aroma filled the entire cave, Hulim took the barbecue off and put it aside, then put the prepared broth on the fire to boil.
While the broth was cooking, Hulim took out a box and turned to look at the two people waiting nearby.
"What flavor do you want?"
"I want spicy!"
Miko replied immediately.
"I'll have vanilla flavor then."
"good."
Hulim opened the box and took out several seasonings.
One roast is then sprinkled with spicy spices, another is brushed with herb oil, and the final roast is spooned over with bluish-purple popom jam.
After finishing all this, Hulim repacked all the seasonings he had brought with him and said:
"Wait a moment. The meat is still very hot. The residual heat will allow the flavor of the seasoning to penetrate it. Once the broth is cooked, the meat will be ready to eat."
"Oh, oh, okay!"
Miko nodded obediently.
"I always feel like..." Alicia looked at the box in Hulim's hand and couldn't help but ask, "Hulim, you always seem well-prepared when you go out. Are you some kind of wilderness survival expert?"
"I don't know if I'm an expert, but I'm certainly good at it."
“… …”
Isn't this a wilderness survival expert...
after a while.
The broth is ready.
Hulim took out the cutlery from her backpack again.
He poured the broth and shared it with Miko and Alicia.
"You can eat now."
"Thank you very much."
Alicia took the broth, sat upright, picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful and tasted it.
On the other side, Miko was already taking big bites of the barbecue.
"Mmm~! So delicious~!"
A happy expression appeared on Miko's face.
"Hulim~! Your cooking skills are amazing!"
“Not that great…”
Hulim took the roast meat and ate it slowly while answering:
"I only study it occasionally, but I'm still far behind the chefs in the palace."
"No, it's really amazing. Even for a chef in the palace, it would be difficult to create such a taste in the wild with just the ingredients collected at random."
"and,"
Alicia picked up the barbecue and took a bite.
"This vanilla oil is also made by Hulim, right? I've only tasted something like this here. It's clearly oil, but it has a fresh and smooth taste, not a greasy feeling at all. It's incredible."
"...That one was definitely made by me. It's not greasy because the oil made from this herb is special. When heated, it reacts with the animal fat in the barbecue, not only reducing the greasiness of the barbecue itself, but also transforming it into a unique flavor."
Although this is a lost craft a long time ago...
