I immediately went back to the inn and grilled the beef sirloin. This sirloin of beef, I was curious to know how rare it was. Here is the result.

Sirloin of beef: Rare level 6 Food Quality B
One of the best parts of beef. The meat is fine and tender with just the right amount of marbling.
It is characterized by its rich flavor and taste.

When I appraised the beef sirloin, my appraisal level went up by 3.

The quintessential steak king. That's not an item you can get at this place. Well, it's not for us to eat, but for the manager of the cookware store to eat.

This time we didn't use a frying pan, but decided to grill it on a griddle. I used to work at a barbecue restaurant, and I used to cook sirloin on the griddle. The knowledge and skills were taught by the manager.

The seasoning was still the same, only with salt. I asked Mr. Moch for permission to put the beef sirloin on the griddle, a fork and a knife in my inventory, and headed back to the cookware store.

'Ho-ho. Already made it?

Yes. Please enjoy your meal.

As I said this, I took a teppanyaki beef sirloin on a plate from my inventory, a fork and a knife. The manager of the cookware store looks at the food and gives me a disgusted look. Naturally. Because this dish is a bit different from the norm.

"Hey, hey, you haven't cut the meat. You're an amateur.

Normally, in the case of teppan-yaki, you can cut a slit in the meat to make it easier to eat. But that's usually the case.

Tact: ......

Lily looks worried. It's okay ....... We'll take care of it.

'Yes, sir. I didn't cut or slice on purpose.

What?

The manager of the cookware store looks at me. I continue.

'All you asked for was to use that meat to make a good meal. That's why I've decided not to cut it up.

What do you mean?

In the case of grilled meat, slicing the meat makes it easier to eat. However, when you cut the meat, the juices are lost and the flavor of the meat is lost. For this reason, it can be said that the best time to enjoy a delicious meal is the moment when the meat is cut. I've decided that if you've made good food a challenge, that's what you need to provide.

'Nuh-uh ....... You're certainly right. But don't think that's enough to make me snarl!

While saying that in a painful way, when I cut it with a knife, gravy comes out. The manager can't help but swallow his spit at the sight of it. Then he puts it in his mouth and tastes it. When he finishes eating and puts down his fork and knife, he suddenly stands up and shouts.

''Ooo-maa-eeeeeee!

This is the moment I knew I was going to win.

Oh, my God. That's pretty amazing.

Thank you. So what's your reward?

Yeah. Hang on a second.

With that, the manager disappeared to the back of the store. At that moment Lily pulls on my clothes. When I look at Lily, she's teary-eyed. It's obvious why.

'Tact~...... I wanted to eat meat~'

Lily says in a pathetic voice. No wonder she was looking at the meat the whole time she was cooking. In case you're wondering, Lily's satiety is full.

'If you keep up the adventure, you'll meet them one day,'

...... Really?

Yeah.

The fact that they made me cook here on purpose means that I might be able to get it sooner than expected. Well, I was surprised when me and Lily's level went up to 4 and our cooking skills went up to 5 when the cooking was completed. In terms of status, they are currently like this.

It's the Sirloin, to be feared. It's a rare 6 item, isn't it?　Probably the maximum rarity is 10 and the quality is A or S.

Later, the tutorial explained it, but I didn't expect to get experience from cooking. Ruin's explanation told me that cooking is also production, but it doesn't feel right. For me, I think it's because I have the stereotypical notion that leveling up is something you raise by killing monsters.

Once again, it seems like there are people who are cooks, and maybe the production jobs are set up this way because if you don't get experience from production, it opens up the gap between your level and the combat jobs.

There was an infographic on the leveling up of professions; up to lvl 5, the same infographic was flowing as before.

《The level of the occupation summoner has been increased. The number of summons you can bring to your party has increased by one.
Vocational Summoner's level has been increased. You have gained 1 skill point.

You can now have a full party (6 people). Then, here's the info from Lv 6 onwards.

《The level of the profession summoner has increased. The number of summoners you can join has increased by one.
Vocational Summoner's level has been increased. You have gained 1 skill point.

Apparently, the number of summons that can be used to level up your profession will increase. Currently there are eight summons that can be joined.

Two of them will be staying at the inn. The remaining skill points are 21 pts.

And my skills have been leveled up, but what's the deal with the cooking skill being the highest skill level I've acquired? If I care about it, I'll lose.

Let's also go through the fact that Lily's muscle strength is 36 and blasted. It's not going to change the sight of busting boas anyway. The mystery is that he's leveled up to summoning magic. The level increase is coming even though Lily hasn't eaten it either. It must mean that Lily is also gaining the experience gained from cooking the sirloin.

When I was checking the status, the manager came back.

''Take these guys and give them to him.

I'll check it out.

I unfolded the cloth that was given to me and found a lot of knives. There were a number of knives, including a beef knife, a bread knife, a salmon knife, and even a gut killer. There were also cutting boards, pots and pans, and other cooking utensils, but it was the knives that I was interested in.

You want so many different knives?　And it's brand new and quite a gem, I'd say.

Huh ...... From the looks of it, you seem to have a handle on the knife.

He could tell that from the way I was looking at the knife.

"It's okay, then. I can leave them in good hands at ...... and let you use them as knives.

A knife is only a knife if it's used for cooking, right?

...... Okay, I get it. I'll take good care of it.

You're d*mn right I am. You freak me out, I don't give a shit.

I'll keep that in mind. Thank you very much.

Hey. Thanks for the food. Thanks for the food.

So I parted with the manager. It was a meaningful moment. This one would be able to cut anything.

In case you're wondering, this knife could not be used as a weapon. No, I don't intend to, but I was curious, so I appraised it and found that its category was not a weapon, but the same tool as a pickaxe.

Well, I think there's quite a difference between a stone sword and an iron knife. However, in the town, the knife could cut my hand, although it basically did not cause any damage. It didn't cause any damage, but I felt the pain. Probably to convey the dangers of knives.

If it's commonplace to have a knife that doesn't feel pain when you cut it in a game, you'll think of it as something that doesn't hurt when you cut it with a knife in real life. You can see how hard it is to run it.

Well, I got the cooking utensils. Then I receive the stone sword from Crow-san, who informs me that the stone sword is complete.

Stone Sword: Rare Level 1 One-Handed Sword, Quality F-.
Weight: 10 Endurance Value: 25 Attack Power: 10
A sword made of stone. It is not sharp and is a weapon that strikes rather than cuts.

Lily receives this and holds up the stone sword.

'Lily's sword!

It's just a sword of stone, but it's precious: ......

Ha ha ......

Full stomach is at full capacity. Weapons are at the ready. Well, let's go hunting!　Before that, go to the Adventurer's Guild for the quest to defeat the Boa and the forest beyond the grasslands of the beginning.
