The boar that Zozo had killed was to be eaten for lunch today.
　With so many people, there are quite a few who can cook.

　Maybe you could have cooked your own food with a magic kiln.
　However, as long as the lunch break lasts only about an hour, there is no way you can cook so elaborate.
　Those who were tasked with cooking stewed food would finish their work a little earlier and start preparing lunch.

"Ray, the demolition is over. ... If it's true, we'd better put it in a river or something like that."

　If you put it in a river, you can cool down the meat and flush the remaining blood.
　But the disadvantage is that the meat loses its taste, and it's up to each person to decide what to do about it.
　There were no rivers in the forest of Trent this time, so we didn't have to make such a choice.

"All right. I'll keep the ingredients, so please fill in the parts that you don't need."

　The adventurer nods to Rey's words and buries things in the hole such as the inedible parts of the internal organs, the fur, the hoof, the tail, the head...
　There were some people who wanted the fur and tusks of wild boar, so they were negotiating with each other.

(What do they use for, like, wild boar fur?)

　Speaking of fur, we would normally use it as clothing or protective equipment.
　However, the boar Zozo knocked down is not a monster, but an ordinary animal.
　It was quite huge, but as long as it's an animal, it's definitely inferior to the monster leather armour.
　I wondered if you'd use it as a casual wear rather than as a combat suit, but I don't mind if it's just plain cloth.

(Is it for protection against the cold? ...It's still spring.)

　However, as long as winter comes, cold protection will be essential.
　Ray didn't know exactly how warm the boar fur protection was, but there was still a good chance that it might be.
　However, Ray is wearing a dragon robe, so he doesn't need any cold protection at that time.

"Zozo, it's the wild boar you caught, so eat well during the day."

　Ray calls out to Zozo near him.
　Zozo probably didn't understand Ray's words, but he still knew he had been praised. He bowed deeply to Ray.
　If we communicate like that, time goes by, and then it gets close to noon.
　The adventurer, who had finished work early in the morning, had boiled wild boar meat with Ray's ingredients... no, he was making soup, and there was an appetizing scent around him.
　There was a hungry sound coming from some people'

"Ray, it's a little early, but let's do it for lunch. I can't help but get hungry when it smells so good smell like this."

　One of the woodcutters tells Ray so.
　If you're working for some kind of business, you'll have a definite meal time.
　But most of them are adventurers and woodcutters... ...though some knights and soldiers are disciplined.
　Knights and soldiers, however, are basically unable to live a regular life on the battlefield.
　That's why Ray and others, who have been tempted by boar cooking, have lunch breaks a little earlier than usual.
　That said, I've already finished enough work to call a morning quota.
　Even so, I really wanted as much construction materials as possible at the site where I was doing the extension work, so I really wanted them to do it as quickly as possible.
　The woodcutters knew about it, but they were tired from working day after day in and day out.
　The mental exhaustion is especially great, as the greens and lizards spread so many times, especially in the forest of Trent.
　While cutting down trees, be careful to act immediately if something happens.
　I know it comes with a bodyguard, but if you're asked if it's completely reassuring, the answer is no.
　The woodcutter knows that if the person who has metastasized was a green man, there would be no problem.
　His quiet presence is even impressive because of his contrast with the Lizard Man.
　But being a lizard is a different story.
　Some of the woodcutters were once nearly attacked by metastasizing lizardmen.
　As a woodcutter, I was confident in my strength, but it was only my strength to live a normal life, and I wasn't confident in my survival against the lizard man if it was just a fight.
　What's more, it's because I see the Zozo that Ray is following, which seems to be a superior or rare species among the lizard men.
　As long as I was working under such stress, I needed to relieve my stress by doing something a little unusual like this occasion.
　The woodcutters knew it instinctively, and Ray could have predicted it too, so he decided to eat a little lavishly, just as Zozo had knocked the boar down.

"Oh, this is delicious. Was the boar meat so delicious? I thought it smelled better."
"That's because of the spices Ray gave me. Ino meat, as you say, has a strong smell. ... If you're a better cook than I am, you can cook it to turn it into a flavor."

　The man who cooked the food says so.
　I thought some of them might have humbly said that, but there's no doubt that Ray's spices have improved the taste of the food.
　Knowing this, the cook tries to say something, but Ray shakes his head and tells the man not to say anything.
　This time, I served seasonings to relieve stress, but if you reveal the seeds here, you may be asked to cook again after tomorrow... serve ingredients and spices.
　Ray shook his head because he didn't like it.

"If you eat this delicious food, you'll have to work hard in the afternoon.
"Oh, ... if we were to cut more trees, wouldn't it be better to increase the number of woodcutters? ... You know, we came to Gilm to get Ray to work."
"The woodcutters seem to be collecting additional works, though I cannot send Ray to them, and he must be heading to Gilm in a carriage at present."

　The knight interrupted the woodcutter's conversation.

"With Seto, we can carry a lot of them quickly in Seto baskets, but so far only Seto can detect the spread of the greens and lizards. We can't do that."

　The remark is so convincing that no one can argue with it.
　There is no doubt that the work would be easier if there were more men, but it is clear which of them should be given priority, given that Ray and Sett are in danger of safety.

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be OK for Ray to cut down the trees?"
"Stupid. Then we'll lose our jobs."
"Oh... you know what? Ray cuts down trees and we cut branches."

　The other woodcutters who were listening to the woodcutters' words, with subtle expressions on their faces, end up shutting their mouths without speaking.
　The story is probably not very interesting because he takes pride in his work as a woodcutter.
　...however, in the sense of pure logging, Ray can cut it better.
　It goes without saying whether the axe is repeatedly thrown down the trunk of a tree or whether it is a better cut than just a flash of death size.
　The woodcutter, who hesitated to say it, must have had a delicate expression on his face because he knew it.
　That said, the woodcutter's remark that Ray should first cut down the trees is not wrong.
　As the building of the guillem is in full swing, the wood magically treated by alchemists is not enough.
　If you have a lot of building materials, you don't have to worry about it, but now you're running out of something and you're going to see if the supply will keep up with the demand.
　This transition problem had occurred in such a situation that the supply was completely unable to keep up with the demand.

"First of all, we'll have to do something about it until the new woodcutters arrive at Gilm. If we really can't do anything about it, I'll cut down the trees."
"It will help, though, if a new woodcutter comes to Gillum, it won't do us any good at once. We must first get used to the trees growing in the forest of Trent, and then we must get used to the other greens and lizardmen spreading."

　I'm sure.
　Other woodcutters who were drinking boar soup around them laughed, saying so.
　Even those of us who had worked in the forest of Trent in some way were so nervous about the metastasis that we did not think we would soon get used to it even if a new woodcutter had arrived.(I think it depends on the person.)

　Though he didn't actually say it, Ray thinks so while eating the meat of a boar meat.
　Some woodcutters are quick to get used to the forest of Trent, and others are hard to get used to.
　It was no wonder that some of them would concentrate on their work as woodcutters, if they were told that green people or lizard men would spread.
　If possible, Ray would like many of these people to come to Guillum, but those who have jobs where they live with skilled woodcutters will not bother to come to Guillum.
　However, I can't imagine that none of them came from Meher's desire to see the famous guillem with their own eyes.

"When the Greens have finished their language studies, perhaps some of them will come to the forest of Trent. ... As long as the lizard may spread, they may not be able to live there, but they may still come with us and stay in the forest of Trent during the day to grow plants."
"Oh... yes. I guess so."

　Almost everyone here now knows that green people have the ability to grow plants.
　And given the usefulness of the wood in the Trent forest, the green man's ability to grow it was undoubtedly useful.
　...however, that would mean that the forest of Trent would remain here forever.
　That being said, as long as it's off the road, it doesn't bother anyone.
　Well, considering the wild boar the Reys eat, it could be a good hunting ground for hunters.
　I can't deny the possibility of monsters coming.

"Well, it's no use thinking about difficult things now, and it's a special dish, so why don't you try this soup?"

　When one of the adventurers says so, everyone else smacks at the soup and the skewers they make, saying it's better to concentrate on eating now.

"If I could eat these things every day, I'd be more excited about this job."
"It's impossible to catch such a big boar every day, isn't it? But you often see deer and stuff like that."
"What? Deer? Do you have any?"
"Yes. There are foxes, raccoons, rabbits, and so on. There are quite a few other animals."

　Ray nods convincingly to the sound of such voices.
　Ray has actually seen animals and birds several times.
　It's safe to say that this is a blessing, given that, until last year, the Trent forest did not have that many animals or birds.
　That said, it's a bit troubling to see more monsters targeting the animal.

(The best thing is that the greens live here, and the lizard men guard them. The greens don't need food, and if the lizard men's food is food, they can do something about it with the increasing number of animals... but can't they fish?)

　Given Zozo's considerable obsession with fish, it was a shame that there were no fish in this forest of Trent.
　Perhaps if there was a river and there was a fish, Lizardman could have predicted he would be happy to live there.
