Unexpectedly for Ray... and fortunately, Anastasia and Fana took care of the women who had been actively captured by the goblins when they returned to their camp.
　Even Fana, who is usually shy, actively takes care of women.
　There was no doubt that this would be a great help to those here, including Ray.

(I didn't expect Anastasia to take care of the women so actively.)

　With that in mind, Ray takes out the cloths at the urging of Anastasia.

"Come to think of it, where do women sleep? My magic tent..."
"Dismissal,"

　Anastasia interrupts Ray, who was about to say he could lend him a magic tent.
　Ray wasn't very enthusiastic about renting out magic tents to others, so he didn't mean to suggest any more if he refused.
　Still, he looked at Anastasia in surprise, as if he had never thought he would be rejected so easily.
　At Ray's gaze, Anastasia opens her mouth with a stunned stare.

"Well, the magic tent is Ray's usual tent. I think it's a good idea to let them use the tent that men used to use. No matter how comfortable the magic tent is, I prefer the spare tent that nobody used today."

　Ray was wondering if it was like that, but I was convinced that Anastasia would say so.
　In fact, there are some spare tents, so there is no problem.
　If it hadn't been for the spare tent, I might have been reluctant to use Ray's magic tent.

"Look, when you find out, go and set up a tent. It's next to my tent."

　Ray, who was rushed by Anastasia, decides that he can only do it in this situation... suddenly stops and takes out the pot.

"First of all, if they get hungry, they won't have energy, so let them drink this."

　What Ray took out was vegetable soup.
　No meat at all, it's a soup made entirely of vegetables.
　The soup is not popular with male adventurers because it does not use meat, but it is popular with female adventurers.
　...because it takes a lot of time and effort to make it, it's more expensive than soup with meat, which may be why it's not so popular among male adventurers who like meat.

"Oh, you're smart. They'll be glad to have this soup, too."

　Say so, Anastasia takes a pot and a ladle, a plate and a spoon from Ray and walks away.
　After seeing Anastasia off, Ray looks for Seto.
　Then, I discovered Seto playing with the water wolf.
　...however, it's just like Seto and a water wolf.
　To those around me, it seems like a mock battle... no, just a fight.

"Hey, Ray. Seto and the Water Wolf... Don't you need to stop?"

　One of the adventurers asks Ray, who shakes his head saying he has no problem with his words.

"It looks like that, I'm just playing. You don't have to worry."
"...is that so?"

　Objectively, it doesn't seem to be so, if not very much.
　I don't think so, but even so, the adventurer agrees if Ray, the owner of Seto and the negotiator of the water wolf, says so.
　Still, I was looking at the water wolf and Seto anxiously.

"Well, it's a little late, but it's about time we had dinner."

　At Ray's words, even those who were worried about Seto and the water wolf smile.
　It was Ray eating dinner, but the sun is completely down.
　Even so, there was no problem with the light source, perhaps because of the bonfire or the huge slime burning.
　Some people were so hungry that they baked bread and fish over a bonfire, but Ray's words were eagerly awaited for them.
　Ray takes food out of Mystery one after another.
　The most exciting time for everyone was when they took out a block of oak meat... 30 kg of meat that looked like it was going to take out.
　Of course, the meat wasn't raw, it was cooked slowly and could be eaten normally.
　It's not that special for the type of food, but cooking and eating large pieces of meat may stimulate a man's instinct.
　That said, the cheers are not really from the heart, but from a lot of strain.
　It must have been thought that they could not completely destroy the goblin settlement, and that they had lost the top or rare species that led the settlement.
　Even so, I enjoy my dinner making a fuss even if I push myself a little too hard.
　Meat, bread, fish, vegetables... A variety of ingredients are prepared and eaten.

"Woo!"

　A water wolf appears at such a dinner place.
　Next to the roaring water wolf was a rather large... fish that would be about a meter long.

"Ugh!"

　Everyone screams in surprise at the sudden appearance of the huge fish.
　It's only natural that a huge fish suddenly came out.
　However, there is also a problem with the large size of the fish.

"This... How do you bake it?"

　Yes, there is a question of how to cook.
　It's difficult to cook the fish inside even if you try to cook it normally, because it's quite large.
　In that case, the possible method is to cut and bake.
　...but I don't feel like cooking while everyone is eating anymore.
　Ray is hungry like the rest of us.

"Please lend it to me. There are cooking utensils, right?"

　The voice on Ray's back.
　Ray turned to his voice and saw a masked woman... Fana.
　Fana has a shy personality, but now she looks confident.
　In addition to simple cooking utensils such as kitchen knives, cutting boards, frying pans, and pots, Ray takes out various seasonings from the mysteries to be overwhelmed by the power of Fana.

"I can only cook simple dishes. Do you mind?"
"What? Oh, that's fine, but... are you okay?"

　Fana nods softly to Ray's question.
　In fact, it's not like I've recovered from my shyness, but Ray understood that I'm pushing myself too hard.
　However, since Fana came out like this thinking for Ray and others, she will take advantage of her good intentions.

"Well, excuse me."

　Tell them so, remove the scales from the back of the knife, cut the head, open the belly, and take out the internal organs.
　I thought it would be hard to prepare a fish that is about a meter tall, but in front of many adventurers and lizardmen, Fana cooks quickly.
　Perhaps because she is concentrating on preparing fish, Fana gradually stops caring about the eyes of the people around her.

"Wow".

　The reason why the water wolf cried happily at the sight of such a fan is probably because it swallowed the fish's internal organs and absorbed them in its body.
　Even Ray can't tell if the innards were delicious.
　Basically, when Ray eats grilled fish, he removes the internal organs.
　Some fish, like those who eat saury's internal organs, prefer the internal organs.
　In the case of Ray, it doesn't matter whether he has internal organs or not, but if anything, it's easier to eat without internal organs.
　This area depends on people's preferences, and Ray realized that he was a child when he was in Japan.
　...there are a few exceptions, including An-Kimo.
　Anyway, it's true that the water wolf ate the fish guts deliciously.
　Many adventurers and lizardmen who saw it wondered if the fish guts were delicious today, but when they remembered that the water wolf ate the goblin meat deliciously, they couldn't say they wanted to eat it either.

(Delicious...?)

　While thinking about it, Fana proceeds to cook quickly.
　Spread oil on a large soup pan, cut the washed fish into chunks, and stir-fry them with the so-called summer vegetables, which are in season in summer, and then add sauce and boil them quickly.
　Among the fish that are still a little left over, the head and middle bones, the bones between the meat and the belly bones are put in together with the meat left in the other pot after grilling over a bonfire.
　This is not summer vegetables, but stir-fry with appropriate vegetables... Use the fish sauce Ray had previously bought and season.As a result, there were two different kinds of soup, and everyone seemed to enjoy it either way or way.

(It's kind of like japa soup)

　Jappa-jiru was originally a dish from Aomori prefecture, but its name was also used and made in the place where Ray lived.
　It's miso soup made from fish ara, so to speak.

"I'll get this one."

　After cooking, Hwana says so, moves the soup of the first fish and summer vegetables to another pot and leaves.
　What's left is a soup of slightly reduced fish and summer vegetables, and this is a soup of untouched fish Ara.
　All the men here eat it competitively.

"Woo!"

　If a water wolf screams, it is inevitable that the main ingredients of this dish are prepared by the water wolf is the one who prepared the main ingredient of the dish.
　Then we all eat the food made by Fana...the fun dinner time is over.

"Wow... Wow!"
"Guru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru?"

　Ray suddenly sees a light toward the lake and looks at the water wolf talking to Seto.
　Then, there was the figure of a glowing jellyfish flying in the sky that I had seen before.

"Oh!"

　At Ray's words, even those who had finished their meal and had been relaxing looked at the lake and saw glowing jellyfish floating.
　As before, the glowing jellyfish came ashore floating in the air...
　with a start
　Perhaps they found a water wolf, but the jellyfish herd stops in the air all at once.

"Woo!"

　A water wolf that barks at such jellyfish.
　When the jellyfish heard that, they approached the rays again.
　The water wolf probably gave the jellyfish permission.
　Ray thinks about the water wolf again, watching the jellyfish reaching out its tentacles to his arms.
　Considering its ability and being able to command jellyfish, there is no doubt that waterwolves are ranked high in the lake.
　Ray definitely believed that slime, which is still burning, was at the top of the lake.
　However, as far as we can see, waterwolves who can understand their language are clearly more intelligent than slime, who has an overwhelmingly large body of intelligence.
　If that's the case, the water wolf should be called the lake's owner.
　Indeed, the water wolf is even negotiating with the Rays -- though it's not clear whether what happened this morning is really a negotiation.
　The darkness of the night... I mean, the surroundings are bright with bonfires and burning slime, but Ray thinks about it while looking at the jellyfish shining in the darkness of the night... Maybe he's dissatisfied with Ray's appearance or he leaves.

(Was it bad to think about water wolves while playing with jellyfish?)

　Ray thinks like that, looking at the jellyfish that seems to be suitable for the expression floating in the air.
　However, now that we've separated, I've decided that there's no point in thinking about anything more here, and I've seen some women walking towards the men.

(What happened?)

　Did the goblin possibly come from somewhere?
　I thought so for a moment, but the women didn't seem to be in a hurry or trying to escape.
　On the contrary, he approaches Ray's place, even talking with a smile.

『……』

　Women, too, look nervous when they come in front of men, including Ray, as if they can't help laughing.
　Also, Ray and others are at a loss as to how to talk to each other in this situation.
　As a result, both sides remain silent for a few seconds... until the woman at the front opens her mouth.

"Well, thank you. The fish soup was delicious."
"I'd like to say that I'm glad you liked it, but it was Fana who made that soup. Waterwolves have caught the ingredients."
"Woo!"

　Perhaps he heard Ray's words, the water wolf bragged... and everyone laughed and watched the glowing jellyfish.
