In the morning, Ruby came to pick me up to tell me that she had cooked a lot of food, and when I followed her, I found a table full of food. After storing the dishes, I took the opportunity to listen to the stories of the senior spirits. I heard many interesting stories, but I was a little surprised to hear that Ruby and the others were running in the gray area.
Ruby asked me to give her some cooking advice, so I took the little army plus Gina and we had a tasting session at Ruby's cafeteria. The result was a great success, and the little army + Gina were very pleased with the results.
I also tasted the food and found it to be as good as Mr. Toruku's. He was a great chef to make a dish as good as Mr. Toruku's from the very first time.
I had a few complaints about the first taste of Mr. Torque's food. He seems to be a better cook than Mr. Torque, if not better. Ruby may look like a junior high school student, but she is a spirit, so I guess that's the difference in the number of years she has devoted to cooking.
"Hmmm, I can't think of a better idea to stretch my wings in earnest..."
After the lunch tasting, the little army + Gina are enjoying their holiday again. While I can relax, I'd like to put together some of my holiday plans.
...... is starting to sound like a fun way to plan a trip. It's a little sad that I'm traveling alone, but if I'm going to have fun, it's more convenient for me to travel alone. Now I'm going to make a real travel plan.
First of all, when should I go? Given the current situation, it's hard to leave right away. Maybe after the first group of spirits comes to visit? I'll have to be flexible in that area.
So, we'll have to decide where to go next. ...... has no idea where to go. Basically, I've been going back and forth between Paradise and Labyrinth City. We need to start by researching where to go.
If we had the internet, we could do it quickly, but in this world, it's not so easy. The most reliable way is to ask Shilfi, but it's hard to know what to ask and how to ask it. We have to decide what we want to do.
In Japan, one might go to the countryside to enjoy the nature ......, but that is not an option for me since I am now exposed to the harsh nature. I have to go to the city. And I want to play at night.
It's awkward to ask ...... Sylphy about the nightlife, but when I talked to Nomos about it before, I couldn't get any detailed information. We need to be as direct as possible, and get Sylphy to talk to us. ...... Huh? Very difficult, isn't it? No, don't give up. If you give up now, you'll never get to go out at night.
Generally speaking, paternalism has not been able to stop these days. It's important to ignite your wild side around here. I'm sure Sylphy will understand.
Something else to think about: ...... We're lucky to have plenty of money, so that's not a problem. I'll do some research on when and where to go, so the only thing left is my ID and personal safety.
As for the ID, we can either forge it in the labyrinth city or pay at the gate to get in. If you are going to build a base and play around in the city, it would be better to have a fake ID, but if you are going to stay and play around for a few days, it seems that a fake ID is not necessary. Let's just pay the entrance fee at the gate and enter the town.
As for your personal safety, you have a higher level of security and pioneering tools, so you will be no worse off than the average hoodlum. If we're in danger, we'll summon Sylphy and the others without any shame or shame.
Well, we've got most of what we need to do. We'll take our vacations as needed. Research the place with Sylphy, and that's it. Let's get some information from Sylphy tonight so that we don't lose our motivation.

"So, Yuta, what's the story?"
After dinner, the little army + Gina went back to their rooms. We had thought about what we needed to ask them during the day, so we were all ready to go. I would have offered them alcohol to lighten their palates, but that would have attracted the other great spirits, so I decided against it.
"Yes, after welcoming our guests to the village of spirits, I'd like to stretch my wings a bit on my own..."
"Stretch my wings alone?"
"Oh, don't get me wrong, it's not that I'm sick of being with Sylphy, Belle, Gina and the others. It's just that I've been through a lot since I came to this world and I'd like to spend a few days on my own.
"I wouldn't get it wrong. Everyone can see that Yuta cares about Belle and Gina and the others. In other words, he wants to go out and play without worrying about anyone else, right?
Not a bad touch. At least you're not leaving paradise alone! Thank goodness the response is not a "I'm sorry, but..." kind of response.
"Ha-ha, well, I guess that's the way it is. Paradise is now a sanctuary and we have a cafeteria and an ice house. After the opening of the village, it won't be a problem if I'm gone for a few days.
Sylphy and Belle are spirits, so there is no problem, and Gina and the others can see spirits now, so they won't be lonely even if they remain in paradise. You can cook your own meals or go to Ruby's cafeteria to eat.
You can ask the Great Spirits to take care of the animals and plants, and they will do it much better than I can. It may seem a little sad, but paradise is no problem if I go away for a few days. After the opening of the village, the guests will probably consume some of Ruby's cooking. Then I should be able to go and play.
"Well, yes. But how long is a few days? If you leave too much, the Belles will miss you, won't they?"
I don't plan on being gone that long. Maybe three days.
Even I would feel uneasy to be away from Bell and the others for such a long period of time, and three days would be the limit.
"That's fine. So, have you decided where you're going?
No, I haven't decided at all. No, I haven't decided at all. I just wanted to ask Sylphy about it. Do you know of any good places?"
"I'll be embarrassed if you don't at least tell me what kind of place you'd like to go."
I know, you have to be very specific. ...... is the right place to start. We have to make it sound suspicious. The most important thing is to keep your ulterior motives out of your face. Just think that you want to stretch your wings and have fun, that's all.
"As far as I'm concerned, the kingdom of chrysoprase has become too conspicuous to settle down. I want a prosperous place where no one knows me."
"A prosperous place ...... would be the royal capital. And a peaceful place in the middle of it, right?"
"Yes, I don't want to get into trouble or get involved in a war. Please give me a safe place.
"Well, if that's the case, I think the Kingdom of Beryl would be good. It's far away from the Kingdom of Chrysoprase and it's a big country. I think the wars were only border skirmishes."
The capital of a large country. ...... Nomos mentioned a royal city, or a city or town where adventurers gather. It fits the description perfectly. I think he was talking about some fancy stores in the capital. ......When you came to the land of the dead, it would be no problem now. I'd rather be in King's Landing.
"A royal city in a big country. Sounds like fun, and a few border skirmishes won't affect King's Landing much. Are there any sights to see or specialties to eat?"
"Sights and specialties. ...... As I recall, the capital of the Kingdom of Beryl is located next to a large lake and the scenery is first class. But I think the only specialties were the fish from the lake."
A royal city next to a lake. ...... sounds awesome as a landscape. But lake fish means freshwater fish. Trout type fish is pretty good when grilled, but what if it's black bass or something like that? I heard that black bass is also tasty depending on how it is cooked, but I don't think it is something you should go out to eat.
"Do you know what kind of fish that is? A demon?"
"It's a lake next to the capital. Most of the dangerous demons have been killed and they are almost harmless. I don't remember any fish because I'm not really interested in them.
I see, Sylphy is not so interested in food. Well, I thought there might be some tasty demons in the lake.
I don't mind if they don't have specialties if we have a good time at night, but it would be nice to have a good meal with them. Well, it's no use being extravagant, and I should be satisfied with the beautiful scenery alone, right?
"By the way, I saw some kids from the slum catching and eating some disgusting fish. It was some kind of black, slimy, snake-like fish. I remember thinking that they eat weird things."
"Seriously!"
"What's wrong with your sudden outburst?"
Sylphy is unusually surprised at my sudden outburst. If it's what I thought, I'm a little bit excited.
"I'm sorry, Sylphy, I'm just surprised that you mentioned a fish that might be my favorite. I think that fish might be called "eel"...?
"Eels? ......I remember that name. Is that disgusting thing Yuta's favorite food? It's slimy, you know?"
Oh, it was an eel after all. I know the actual name is different, but the translation works, so I'm almost sure of it. I admit that I don't understand Sylphy's reluctance at the appearance of the eel, but it's good news for me.
"If it's what I think it is, it's a pretty tasty fish. So Sylphy, how big were the eels?"
"Is it good? ......Everything Yuta cooks is delicious, but I don't believe that eels are tasty, as I recall they are a poisonous fish with poison in their blood."
"Yeah, the eels I know have poison in their blood. So, how big are they?
"It's not that big, even a child can catch it. About fifty centimeters, I'd say.
There are many kinds of eels, but from what I've heard, they sound like Japanese eels. This makes me even more excited ...... Oh, no, I can't make eel sauce. Shiroyaki (broiled eel) is delicious, but when I say "eel", I mean sauce.
For kabayaki eel, I would have used my secret soy sauce, but I would have used mirin, sake, and sugar. We have sake, but we don't have mirin. I think I can manage with just sake, soy sauce and sugar, but what do you think?
If you have plenty of ...... ingredients, you can experiment with it, but under the current circumstances, it would be unfortunate if it fails. There is still hope for sake, since we can now make rice, but for soy sauce, I don't even know how to make soy sauce.
But eel ...... is a bowl of hot white rice topped with a thick eel covered with plenty of sauce. It will be the best. If it's for food for children in slums, we can collect a lot of them. If only I could solve the sauce problem, I could eat all the eels I want in my life. .......
Oh, I'm so worried. I don't call sake "Kuchikami sake", but I know how to make sake using rice balls in a manga about a certain agricultural college student, and I know that koji is used for making sake, even though it's not very good. I have a feeling that Nomos and the others would be able to handle it if we entrusted them with the task.
But for soy sauce, we have to start with soybeans. ...... Should we go ask Dory? If you have soybeans, you can make soy milk and tofu. ...... I can't imagine soy sauce and miso ....... Should we leave this one to Ruby and the others? Oh, it bothers me. I was supposed to plan a solo trip, but now I have more worries. But eels. .......
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

I remember thinking that they eat weird things.""Seriously!""What's wrong with your sudden outburst?"Sylphy is unusually surprised at my sudden outburst. If it's what I thought, I'm a little bit excited."I'm sorry, Sylphy, I'm just surprised that you mentioned a fish that might be my favorite. I think that fish might be called "eel"...?"Eels?......I remember that name. Is that disgusting thing Yuta's favorite food?It's slimy, you know?"Oh, it was an eel after all. I know the actual name is different, but the translation works, so I'm almost sure of it. I admit that I don't understand Sylphy's reluctance at the appearance of the eel, but it's good news for me."If it's what I think it is, it's a pretty tasty fish. So Sylphy, how big were the eels?""Is it good?......Everything Yuta cooks is delicious, but I don't believe that eels are tasty, as I recall they are a poisonous fish with poison in their blood.""Yeah, the eels I know have poison in their blood. So, how big are they?"It's not that big, even a child can catch it. About fifty centimeters, I'd say.There are many kinds of eels, but from what I've heard, they sound like Japanese eels. This makes me even more excited ...... Oh, no, I can't make eel sauce. Shiroyaki broiled eel is delicious, but when I say "eel", I mean sauce.For kabayaki eel, I would have used my secret soy sauce, but I would have used mirin, sake, and sugar. We have sake, but we don't have mirin. I think I can manage with just sake, soy sauce and sugar, but what do you think?If you have plenty of ...... ingredients, you can experiment with it, but under the current circumstances, it would be unfortunate if it fails. There is still hope for sake, since we can now make rice, but for soy sauce, I don't even know how to make soy sauce.But eel ...... is a bowl of hot white rice topped with a thick eel covered with plenty of sauce. It will be the best. If it's for food for children in slums, we can collect a lot of them. If only I could solve the sauce problem, I could eat all the eels I want in my life. .......Oh, I'm so worried. I don't call sake "Kuchikami sake", but I know how to make sake using rice balls in a manga about a certain agricultural college student, and I know that koji is used for making sake, even though it's not very good. I have a feeling that Nomos and the others would be able to handle it if we entrusted them with the task.But for soy sauce, we have to start with soybeans. ...... Should we go ask Dory?If you have soybeans, you can make soy milk and tofu. ...... I can't imagine soy sauce and miso ....... Should we leave this one to Ruby and the others?Oh, it bothers me. I was supposed to plan a solo trip, but now I have more worries. But eels. .......
