It goes on forever, in the sea... the fish swims as much as they say they are the ruler of this sea.
　In fact, the fangs of the fish were so powerful that it was a natural enemy to the fish swimming in droves around it.
　A fish as large as a human being is nothing but food to the fish.
　The fish, who thought that there was no rival in this sea... suddenly stinks of blood floating in the sea.
　It would be almost impossible for ordinary fish to detect the smell of blood dissolved in seawater so acutely.
　That was possible because he was the king of the sea.
　Then the fish swam in the direction of the smell of blood... looking for something to feed themselves.
　It was quite close to the shore that we eventually arrived, devouring some fish we encountered along the way.
　It was fortunate that the fish was still deep enough to move freely.
　At any rate, he approached a place stinking of blood... the next moment the fish's consciousness disappeared.

"I got it! Set!"
"Gul-l-r-r-r-r-r-r!"

　At Ray's words, Seto paws at the giant floating on the surface of the sea with his wings flapping.
　It's a fish of considerable size, probably over five meters long.
　It's not a fish, but rather a carnivore, which Ray knows.

(Is it like a shark? But as far as I can see, it doesn't look like a shark.) though there are not so many sharks I know.)

　The only shark Ray knows is the white shark, the hammerhead shark, and the shark sashimi that's commonly sold in Ray's local supermarket.
　If Ray simply doesn't know and is told that there are sharks like this, it's no wonder that he's convinced.

(Is this really a shark?)

　While Ray has such doubts, Seto flaps his wings and heads to his base.
　However, the base is a base, but it is not a base prepared near the hot spring, but a base prepared as a place for everyone to rest by the sea.
　It looks like a simple tent with cloth and sticks.
　It's not a sandy beach, it's a rocky beach, so you can't lie down and relax... but it's been a great help to the Rey's that they still don't have to directly bathe in the hot enough summer sun.
　Now, near the base, Beune and Yero were enjoying crab fishing, and others were enjoying crab fishing as usual, not crabs.
　In particular, Bistol, who has come this far with the Lays to catch fish, is fishing quite seriously, with nearly a dozen fish already swimming in the creek of the nearby sea.
　It was only natural that Ray and Sett would be surprised to see them back in such a place with a huge fish over five meters long.
　Ray has already caught a few fish and returned to this point, but there is no doubt that the fish he has caught is incomparable in size.

"Oh, that's great. How dare I have such a big fish?"

　For Marina, too, the size of Seto's fish may have been quite unexpected, and she looks unusually surprised.
　Marina lives in the woods, partly because she was born in the dark elves.
　When I'm an adventurer, I've been to many places... I've been to the sea, I've seen bigger fish than this, but it's only natural that I'm surprised to see fish of this size.
　Moreover, after stopping the adventurer, he worked as a guildmaster at Guildm and rarely came to the sea.
　In that sense, Ray, who went directly to Emosion, may be more familiar with the sea.
　...however, unlike Ray, who only goes to Emosion, Marina went to several ports and fishing villages during her adventures.

"It's a very sharp fang, but... a fish, isn't it?"

　Vihela, fishing, asks Ray, touching the fish in wonder.
　The words seemed to question whether what he was touching was really a fish.
　In fact, it would be very rare for a fish to be as long as five meters.
　If this is a monster, it's not so unusual to see something nearly 10 meters long, let alone 5 meters long.

"I'm glad I didn't get raged because I killed him with one blow... well, it's a bit hard to tell if he's a fish or a monster when you see this. Then, all we have to do is check if there are any magical stones."

　Nevertheless, Ray doesn't recognize the fish in front of him as a monster.
　That's because I know Seth has decided so.
　I knew exactly how keen my partner Sett was because it was Ray.
　If Seto decides that it's a fish, he's sure that it's a fish.

"Oh, no. Are you going to dismantle this big fish? If you don't mind, let me help you, too."
"No, I won't dismantle it. All we have to do is check if there are any magical stones. Demolition is a good thing to do later. We need to catch more fish now anyway."
"What a pity. I wanted to taste it for a while."

　Bistol's gaze was directed at the bonfire beside the tent.
　It was obvious, needless to say, what we expected to taste.

"If it were fresh fish, it would be delicious enough to eat sashimi." ...but the question is that I can't handle the fish."

　When I was in Japan, I cooked fish in my school cooking practice.
　However, what was prepared at that time was a fish that had already been cut into pieces, and Ray never had the experience of handling a whole fish.
　We have caught river fish such as ayu (sweetfish) many times in the river, but basically we grill them as they are, so there is no need to sell them.
　If I had to mention it, I might have taken away the internal organs.
　But as long as it was impossible for Ray to cleanly cut his stomach and remove the internal organs, it was impossible for him to deal with such a large amount of fish.
　Still, if you try to handle it forcefully, you'll eat a lot less….

"Sashimi? What kind of food is that?"

　Bistol looks at Ray with a curious look, perhaps because he's curious about the name he says.
　No, it's not just Bistol. As for the act of eating, Bune, who was as greedy as Ray... and in some cases more greedy than Ray, looked at Ray.
　His expressionless face, as usual, has emanated from his little body as if a low-ranking adventurer of the neighborhood.
　For Bune, Ray is an incredible companion who produces dishes he's never seen or heard of.
　And Ray's food, udon, meat buns, pizza... was all very delicious.
　I'm thinking of eating seafood okonomiyaki, which I've heard all of a sudden.
　That's why you don't have the option of missing a new dish if it comes out of Ray's mouth.

"Yes!"

　Ray scratches his cheek in frustration at Bune's unusual, spirited words.

"I can tell you, but I don't know if you'll accept it."

　Ray knew that even the usual food in the region could not be accepted in other regions or countries.
　For example, Ray also likes octopus.
　This is an ingredient that has recently become available in the West, but it used to be called devilfish, and it was not something to eat.
　Whales are also eaten normally in Japan, and dolphins are eaten normally even though they are limited in their regions, but they are not accepted overseas.
　In Japan alone, there are regions where insects such as bee larvae and locusts are eaten, while there are some who are not very good at eating them.
　In that sense, I don't think it's acceptable to eat raw fish... Ray thought so...

"You won't know if it's acceptable until you actually ask them and try them, right? At least they won't say anything until you actually try them."

　Buehne nods silently beside Bistol, who says so with a happy smile.
　Elena, Marina, and Vihela, if not as much as the two of them, were looking to Ray in anticipation.
　Ray's knowledge of cooking is so great that I've never felt bad about the food he invented, so it's only natural.
　Ray opens his mouth, wondering if there is anything he can do about them.

"Sashimi. It's a dish that cuts fish into bite-size pieces, ignoring the details of the technique."
"...what? Is that all? Is that enough to make it a dish?"

　Bistol glances incredulously at Ray's words.

"Oh, but, as I said, it takes a lot of fine techniques. If you don't have a sharp knife, the meat of the fish will be messy, and you will need a lot of skill in cutting sashimi. In that sense, the chef couldn't have done better.""I don't know if I can call it cooking."
"So I told you, I don't know if I'll accept it or not. At any rate, there is no doubt that it is a dish that can only be done by fresh fish."

　Ray also remembered a raw fish dish called carpaccio, but I don't know exactly how to make it, so I don't eat it.

(Wrap it up with vinegar? No, I think it's going to be sushi.) It's like I was using onions... well, now it's all right.

　When I think about the carpaccio that was sold at the supermarket, I can't come up with a recipe after all.
　When I try to recall my knowledge of cooking cartoons, I feel like there was no carpaccio, and that's the end of course.

"Sashimi... are you just going to eat raw fish?"
"No, soy sauce is a seasoning, wasabi is a spicy seasoning...."

　I hastily misrepresent what I've tried to say as if I've eaten it before.

"Shoyu or wasabi? I don't know either."
Soy sauce seems to be a seasoning made from beans. Wasabi grows in a river with clean water. Oh, no. Even without water, the soil around there seems to grow normally."

　When you think of wasabi, you have a general impression that it grows in clean water... where the fresh stream is flowing.
　But on the mountain near Ray's house, there was a place where wild wasabi grew normally, even though there was no river nearby.
　wasabi grown buried in the soil rather than in the river.
　Naturally, the wasabi was a natural wasabi that could be eaten normally, and was often harvested as a wild vegetable.
　In Ray's house, however, the wasabi was not eaten by rubbing, but by cutting the root and stem of the wasabi into small pieces, pouring boiling water on it, and rapidly cooling the bowl containing the boiling water and wasabi with cold water.
　It may be a little different to call it wasabi soup made in that way, but it's not only spicy but also enjoyable to enjoy the taste of wasabi.
　Using it as a condiment, such as putting it on a loincloth, was a familiar way of using wasabi for example.

"Anyway, it's a pity that there are no soy sauce or wasabi..."Oh, but if you go to the villages and towns around here, do you have fish sauce?"

　Fish sauce, which can be made only with salt and fish, was not suitable for those who were not accustomed to it, but for Ray, who has eaten fish sauce made from Hatahata and hot pot made from Hatahata, tofu, and leeks since he was a child, it must be a very familiar taste.
　I don't think there's anything fishy about it, but there's a fish sauce made from other fishy about it's made from other fish.
　The bistles look mystified when they see Ray happy thinking about it.
　This is because I never thought raw fish would be so delicious.

"Come to think of it, I've heard before that there is a custom of eating raw fish in the east."
"Really?"

　When Vichela asked Marina what she said, she nodded that she was sure enough.
