On Saturday morning, after finishing breakfast, I log into the game as soon as possible and I feel warm in my chest. When I look at it, I see a white-haired fox ear. It's love fire. He's sleeping comfortably. I stroke his head and his ears hang down. It's cute. And a tail that bothers me.

When I look at the tail that sometimes hits the body, I get a burning desire to touch it, and I try to touch it. It was so fluffy.

Mmm....mmm...

I'm still weak or trembling in increments. Let's not go any further with the stones. I start the love fire and go downstairs. Then Gray and Yuu Fang come snuggling up to me. The way they're wagging their tails, I can tell they're urging me to eat.

And downstairs, Lily and the others have Byakuya as a pillow. C'mon.

The Greys, but we set them up on the platform last night. And the Greys aren't much different from normal dogs. Byakuya even has a celebrity who has a white tiger in her yard. It shouldn't be a problem.

I'll stand in the kitchen and cook the rabbit meat. Today I tried rabbit meat tsukes. I'm going to make a huge batch and deliver it to Mr. Moch. But here's what I found that shocked me. The glass container in which I was making the fish sauce for the char is just right. It would be dangerous to use it right away, though. I should make tsukune (chicken bone) for now. While I was making the tsukune, Lily and her friends woke up at the smell. Well then, I guess we'll have to make some rice.

Rabbit Meat Meat Tuna: Rare 4 Cooking Quality E+
Effect: 40% recovery of satiety, 2-hour muscle strength increase (medium)
A meat dish in which rabbit meat is minced, rolled up and grilled.
It is very tasty and well bled.

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

'I made my bow and Tact-sama's staff out of the cypress that Tact-sama had entrusted to me.

Setia takes it out with confidence. Let's appraise it.

Cypress Wand: Rarity Level 3, Wand Quality E
Weight: 10 Endurance Value: 40 Attack Power: 15
Added effect: Increased magic attack power (small)
A wand made of cypress. Not suitable for magic, but sturdy and smells of cypress.

Cypress Bow: Rare Degree 3 Bow Quality E-
Weight: 10 Endurance value: 15
Additional Effect: Increased Arrow Attack Power (Small)
A bow made of cypress. It is sturdy and smells like cypress.
The strings are made of spider silk and caterpillar thread, which reduces the durability value.

Cypress Arrows: rare degree 3 Arrows Quality E
Weight: 5 Endurance Value: 20 Attack Power: 20
Additional Effect: Poisoning effect (slight)
An arrow made of cypress. It has a higher attack power than the usual wooden arrows, and the end of the arrow is made of the stinger of a bee.

I see. The staff and arrows are good, but the only strings I have for the bow are spider silk and caterpillar strings. This is not going to make a good bow. And the bow and arrows weigh 15. I don't think the current Setia will be able to handle it. Evolution will be coming soon, so when you evolve, you might want to experiment with bow equipment. The more tactics, the better.

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

Oh, yeah. I'll take good care of it.

Yes!

It's something heavy to talk about. The three girls look envious when they pat Setia's head for her hard work. Considering they're not swollen this time, I wonder if they appreciate Setia's hard work. But I can't keep stroking him, though.

When I stopped petting, Setia asked me what I was doing today.

'What are you going to do today?'

'I was going to do the promised training first. The fish sauce sounds just right, so I'll try that one first.

'It was made by Mr. Tact, wasn't it?　But then why don't you just make it right away?

'It's not that easy, you know. That's a rotten fish inside, isn't it?　What do you think would happen if you opened it?

I ask a question and Aeon answers.

'The smell fills this room...?'

Good point. I could smell that shit. Gray and his friends are gonna have a rough time of it.

When I say that, the summonses are scared. But this isn't a threat or anything, it's a fact. So I leave Lily and the others alone and return them to the summoning stone. Lily and the others tried to put them back in, but they didn't listen to me. I'm sure they'll regret it.

So, let's get some fish sauce, shall we?

I take out the stone filtration system I asked Hephaistos to use, and we're ready to go. Then I open the container.

Poof.

The strong smell of rotting fish is released and Lily and the others are writhing in agony. So I said. 'Go back to the summoning stone,' he said.

'What!　This smell~!

'My nose!　My nose~!

'Is this a natural smell!

I don't think I'm going to make it...

The love fire falls over. Aaaaah. I don't need to tell you.

Then I hear Hephaistos' scream from the basement. Oh, come to think of it, you were there. I didn't tell you. Well, we can't back down now. I set the rotten char in the filtration system. I say "rotten char," but all that's left are the bones, and the rest is sludge.

The only thing left to do is to hold the fish sauce in the container below.

""What?"

Lily and the others are tinged with despair when I tell them the sentence of hell. But it's something we've said ourselves. Let's be patient and let them stay with me until the end.

And after a while, the filtration ends. Appraisal.

Char Fish Sauce (undiluted): rare 5 Cooking Quality D-
Effect: None.
Fish sauce is made by fermenting char.
Note that it is undiluted, so if you eat it as it is, it has a strong taste and a great smell.

Success! And I've managed to make my first rarity 5! Fish sauce is great. But it doesn't end here. As the description says, you can't drink it as it is. It is necessary to dilute it. But you can't just dilute it. That's where I used the filtered residue. I 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 out again. Lilly and the others fall to the floor and stop moving.

Then combine the finished product with the first one you made to complete the dish.

Fish sauce for char: rare 5 dishes Grade D
Effect: None.
Fish sauce made by fermenting char.
The undiluted solution is diluted and adjusted to taste just right.

Let's taste it. Yummy! It tastes like fish sauce, properly! And then the info plays. Huh? What's this?

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

Hmm? First time pattern. Does this feel like a cooking skill with the added skill of fermentation? Shall I use it? No, before that, I'm going to get a one-handed sword and a good opportunity to get a throwing skill. The gravel is my trump card, you know. I wanted to acquire it. And when I looked at the status, I saw that Setia's Woodwork was up. The materials are good, and I've made quite a bit, so it's only natural.

'I have acquired the one-handed sword skill.
I have acquired throwing skills.

I have 16 skill points left.
Alright. Now let's go to the fish store and buy a sea trout and use fermentation and to my surprise, the sea trout rots in an instant. Seriously! Apparently this technique? can be fermented in an instant. You can produce fish sauce as much as you want. We did it!

I was so impressed that my cooking skills improved. It's the rare level 5.
In the meantime, I saw four fallen girls on the floor.
