"No. The scales are peeled off with the back of the knife. Like this, like this!"

　Bistol, as he pleases, uses a knife to scale the fish.
　From Ray's point of view, it only looks like he is tracing a fish with the back of a knife, but there is no doubt that the scales are firmly peeled.
　But when I looked at the fish on my cutting board, I saw that the scales and the flesh had been peeled together, rather than the skin.

"... why?"
"That's why strength is so important. And run the back of the knife along the fish. Like this, like this!"

　As he spoke, Bistol flipped the fish on the cutting board and peeled off the scales on the other side of the body.
　I'm doing the same thing as Ray, but the result is quite a difference.
　To that extent, there was a difference in the way fish were handled between Ray and Bistol.

(Why? I'm not that bad at disassembling monsters and animals, either.) But why can't you grate the fish?)

　Worried, Ray turns his gaze sideways.
　It's not Bistle... but the rest.
　Elena is struggling a little, but she can still scale better than Ray.
　Vichela and Marina are pretty good, if not as good as Bistol.
　and Bune was as cleanly scalded as Bistol, or better than Bistol if he wasn't.
　Their brilliance is so adamant that they never teach Beune how to grate fish by bistling fish.
　And... it turns out that only Seto and Yero are worse at wholesale fish than Ray.
　However, even if it's as big as tuna, the fish that the laymen are grating now are often eaten as it is without scalding.

"Well, Ray isn't particularly clumsy, so I think he's used to it after all. Atashi didn't handle the fish well from the beginning, either.

　Bistol's words really convince Ray.
　In fact, Ray has never dealt with fish since he was in Japan.
　I've strangled the chickens that my father had.
　In that sense, Bistol's expression of satisfaction is expressed in his words that if you get used to it, you can do something about it in your own way.

(Well, I don't know how long it will take to get used to it... a little bit. At least I don't think it'll be windy to get used to it while I'm at sea.)

　You'll definitely improve if you keep practicing how to handle fish all the time you're at sea.
　But Ray came to this sea only to catch fish.
　That being the case, there is no room to continue practicing fish handling.

"Then, for the most part, shall we use this fish for dinner to-day?"
"We don't have to go out of our way to cook ourselves, but we have a lot of dishes made by cooks."
"Oh, no, no. We have to make it ourselves at times like this. Of course, the food cooked by the chef is delicious, but it's fun to cook by yourself, isn't it?"

　At Ray's words, Bistol looks at the Elenas meaningfully.
　Elena, Marina, and Vihela nodded...but surely to Bistol's eyes.
　It's only natural for women to want to try the food made by the man they love as a woman.
　And at the same time, it was only natural to want Ray to eat what he cooked.
　Only Bune looks away, giving off a slightly disappointing atmosphere.
　Unlike Elena, Bune is not particularly fond of Ray.
　No, I have a good relationship with the same party, but not with the opposite s*x.
　Maybe that's why I don't want to eat Ray's home cooking, nor do I want him to cook home cooking.
　Well, it's only natural that Ray wants to eat the dishes cooked by his chef.
　But it's easy to see what Viehra thinks of Ray, whom Bune is fond of.
　So, regretfully, I have nothing to say after all.

"Well, that's why we'll cook our own dishes?"
"Well, what's the matter?" --I'll say nothing, for it seems to make no sense to say anything more."

　That said Ray, and stopped going against Bistol any further.
　In fact, if Ray is asked if he doesn't want to eat the home-cooked dishes made by the Elena's, he's likely to want to try them.
　This is not the first home-cooked meal since we eat home-cooked dishes made by marina.
　But if I were to say that, that's not the first time Ray has cooked his own pizza, since he's also baking it in a kiln.
　Still, each of us would like to eat homemade food not because it's the usual place, Marina's garden, but because it's not something we've been asked to do as an adventurer, but because it's purely a vacation.

"First of all, prepare a frying pan and pour this oil."

　As he spoke, Bistol hands Ray the oil in a nut the size of a fist.

"…very well prepared." I haven't even put out the frying pan yet."

　As he says so, Ray takes the frying pan out of the mistling and puts it over the bonfire.
　Heat the frying pan lightly, add oil, and then...

"Yes, put in the fish Ray cut. Oh, with the skin down."

　Following the instructions, Ray places a rather ugly slice of fish in the frying pan.
　The heated oil gives off a savory smell from the skin.
　That's the kind of smell and sound that makes you feel hungry just by smelling it.

(Is this oil a little different from ordinary oil?)

　A slightly sweet and sour smell drifts around, along with the savory smell of grilling fish.
　Ordinary cooking oil doesn't smell like that.
　However, it's only from Ray's experience, and it's not surprising that there's such an oil.
　The fact is that there is such oil in front of Ray now.

"Yes, move the pan lightly so that the skins don't stick together. and... put it in next."

　That's what I gave Ray, not vegetables... but grass that should be called wild grass.

"Where did you come from?"
"Oh, there's a lot of wild grass that you can eat, especially since it's a mountain here. and the oil I got from this mountain."

　Bistol, who says so with one eye closed, wonders if Ray can make it as an adventurer.
　In fact, Ray knows that Bistol looks like a big man with a lot of muscle and physical ability.
　And it was clear to Ray that he could definitely live as an adventurer because he could easily get his ingredients in the mountains he was visiting for the first time.

"Well, Bistol," Are you not going to be an adventurer?"
"No. Look more closely into the frying pan. I'll add some oil."

　Refusing Rey's invitation, Bistol puts additional oil into Rey's frying pan.
　Ray wondered if he had put a little too much oil in the pan, but Bistol didn't show any sign of failure, and he looked into the pan with a serious look on his face.

"Next, put the juice of this fruit all over."

　When it comes to cooking, he can't go against Bistol, who is better than Ray, and he grabs the fruit and passes the juice on to fish and wild grass in the frying pan.

"Lastly, sprinkle salt lightly from the top... It's ready."
"...that's quite easy,"
"Yes, but all the ingredients used in this dish are from this mountain and sea. Don't you think there's an atmosphere?""When you say so, do you...?"

　Ray remembered the word "local production, local consumption," but in this case it seems a little different to apply it to him.
　At any rate, the dishes made in this way are placed on a plate that Ray takes out of his mistling.

"Be careful about that, for fish meat will collapse if you move it wildly." "Also, it's a special dish, so let's arrange it beautifully."""
"If you expect me to do that,"

　As he says so, Ray places the fish on the plate and places the wild grass around it.

"Yes, and lastly, hang this up, too." It'll make the scent even better."

　Bistol was given a blue purple flower.
　When the flower was placed on top of the fish, the heat of the fish heated the flower and began to give off a fresh green scent.

"Did this flower grow near here?"
"Yes. It's a flower called darness, and you can eat it properly."
"... I really don't understand where you have this knowledge."
"Really? Isn't it natural that you want to know about flowers?"

　The look on Bistol's face as if he hadn't said anything strange and was only righteous.
　When Ray sees it, he tries to say something to such a bistol, but he ends up shutting his mouth.
　It was probably because I thought that whatever I said, I was pushing my arm against the brick.
　In fact, quite a few people are interested in flowers. Whether it extends to edible flowers or not depends on the person.

"Ah... well, that's all right." So, is this all right with this dish? Then I want to eat it."
"No,"

　Immediately... that's the rate at which it's appropriate to describe it as reflexively, Bistol rejects Ray's opinion.
　Then he looked at Ray with a look of amazement.

"Well, the three of you eat Ray's dishes. And Ray eats the food that those three made. -- all right?"

　Elena, Marina, and Vihela nod to Bistol's words.

"No, your food is definitely better than mine. If you don't mind, I don't mind..."

　The fish that Rey cooked is not as good as the fish that he couldn't do when he cut it into three pieces.
　If you eat it yourself, it won't be a problem at all, but... when it comes to feeding people, you hesitate a little.
　What's more, Elena and others handled fish much better than Ray.

"Why don't you study women's minds a little?"

　If it had been Elena's who told him so, Ray would have been convinced.
　At first glance, however, there is no persuasive force in it, since it is a big man with a lot of muscle who tells us to study women's minds.
　However, understanding what Bistol is would be the most compelling force in terms of persuasion.

"For the time being, I understood what Bistol meant. Is that all right with you? If it's for three, it'll be much smaller."
"Oh, that's all right with me. Marina and Vihela?"
"Of course I don't mind, either,"
"I don't care the same,"

　Say so, and share Ray's food with the three of us.
　Elena and others then cook the same food and Ray eats it.
　Ray was the only one who had eaten three servings, but no one in particular complained.
　Tonight's dishes are not just this one, but also the usual one Ray took out of the mystery ring.
　Perhaps Seth was happy to have a potful of stew full of oak meat, but she was lying on the ground hummingly.
　In the meantime... after dinner, Ray and his friends decide to take the magic stone out of Guztos a little further away.
　It doesn't rot because it's inside the mystery ring, but Ray wanted to finish absorbing the magical stones as soon as possible.
　I couldn't explain the situation to Bistol, so I just told him that I wanted to take out the monster's magic stone sooner rather than later.
　However, instead of dismantling it completely, it simply takes out the magical stones.
　If that's all, it won't take much time, so the only one who worked with Ray was a temporary companion.
　though it is true that, as the sorcerer absorbs it so quickly, no one like Bistol or Bune came with him, and Ray was saved.

"Well, Seto. It's been a long time since I've absorbed a magical stone. What do you think?"

　I told him so, and I fed him the magical stones of Guztos."

[Seto has mastered the skills of water polo Lv.5]

　There was an announcement in the brain.
