Chapter 105: Shell gathering and arrival of producers
We were interrupted by Shifukudo, but let's dismantle it again. Let's start with the Shifukudo.
I thrust my dismantling knife at it and it vanishes without leaving anything...
This guy's totally trying to fight me...
Oh well. The main thing is the big hermit crab. I wonder what it'll drop. Here's the result.
Hermit Crab Legs: Rarity 3 Ingredient Item Quality E
Scissors legs filled with hermit crab meat. Tastes similar to shrimp.
Hermit Crab Shell: Rarity 3 Material Item Quality E
The hard shell of a hermit crab. It has high defense and may be resistant to fire.
Water-based Stone: Rarity 2 Material Item Quality E
A stone that possesses the water attribute. Can be found in places surrounded by water.
What the heck? It dropped a water-based stone! It's the second Desnia!
Moreover, hermit crab scissors legs are ingredients! In reality, there are edible hermit crabs. I've heard that they're as tasty as lobsters. I've decided to lock on to the Big Hermit Crab.
As I was burning, Ion asked me.
"Can we eat this?"
"Ah. I've never eaten it, but I hear it's really good. I'm looking forward to eating it too"
"Really? But there's only one"
"Yeah. We came here to fish, but I think I'll change my plans today and go for this one. Koihi, do you see any monsters on the beach?"
When Koihi makes her ears twitch, they drop.
"I don't think there are any around here"
"I see. There seems to be a lot of mining points, so let's just mine and look for the Big Hermit Crab"
Unfortunately, we didn't find any Big Hermit Crabs, but we did get something unexpected from the mining points.
Clam: Rarity 2 Ingredient Item Quality E-
One of the important edible shellfish. It needs to be taken out of the sand and the sand removed as preliminary preparation.
It's completely clamming! Or rather, you can get ingredient items by mining...I thought it was only stones.
At any rate, I went crazy collecting clams with Kurogane. Then we got some salt.
This place is completely the same as the place where Desnia was. Just when I was thinking that, I found something strange mixed in. Here it is.
Magic Crystal: Rarity 3 Material Item Quality E
The mana in the air crystallized. It can be used as a material for weapons and armor.
It looks like this one is rare. If it's a weapon, I can show it to Hephaestus. I hope it can be used to strengthen the glass sword or something.
Before I knew it, it was lunchtime. I return and find that my space-time magic and mining skills have leveled up. So I logged out.
...Huh? I feel like I have a different purpose.
I finish my lunch and log back in. I don't know what to do with the clams...I can't make miso soup, I don't have butter, I can't steam them in alcohol...I guess I'll just have to grill them.
As I went downstairs, thinking about how to cook the clams, I saw a customer. It was Ruin-san and the others.
"It's been a while"
"That's right. I mean, did you just arrive?"
"Yes. We're happy to have found a cheap place to stay"
"How did you find this place?"
This is a store in the back. I thought it would be hard to find without knowing it, but apparently it was easy.
"I asked about a summoner with dragonewts and elf and they told me your place"
Oh...so it's obvious because I stand out...that makes sense.
"Or rather, it's a complete store. Are you planning to do any business?"
"I'm thinking of something like a coffee shop, but I don't have enough ingredients, so I'm currently raising my level and collecting ingredients"
When I said that, Ruin-san was greatly perplexed.
"Haa...Takuto-kun, you're planning to collect the ingredients and run the store on your own, right?"
"Yes?"
Impossible!
I've been told by all of them...is it impossible?
"Why do you think we are buying and selling materials..."
Ah...that's true...if you think about it, you collect ingredients, cook and do business. I thought I could do it, but it was impossible in terms of time...
"If you want to do business, you need to buy some ingredients~"
The farmer Yuna reacted when I said that.
"That's where I come in! I can finally have a field!"
"I'm going to field too"
"Don't take my role!"
I'm pissed...because I want vegetables.
"Takuto-kun...you're the one who saves money, right?"
"I live alone, so I do save money to some extent"
This is natural.
"What are you going to do today, Takuto-kun?"
"I'm going to get a field now"
Hearing this, Yuna started to fuss.
"Wait!? Wait~! You have to give up first place~!"
You're desperate, Yuna-san.
"I understand. I'm not really concerned about it, so please"
"Yay! I've got the title now! I'm off!
Yuna-san ran out of the store.
"...Can I get a title?"
"Because it's the first person to have a field. There is a possibility"
Ah~. Then it's possible. I might have missed something...oh well.
I went to the counter and took out the clams. I started to remove the sand. I'm the kind of person who loses interest in eating shellfish if there's sand in it, so I do my best.
Then Haru-san, the pharmacist, discovered it.
"Isn't that...a clam!?
She's surprised...I was surprised too.
"Yes. I got it when I mined it at a mining point on a beach in the northern sea"
"You're totally clamming...what else did you get?"
"Salt and magic crystal. There were no other shellfish"
"Well, there's no way you can get a lot of things but if there's an ocean in another country, there's a chance you can get some shellfish"
Indeed. Aim for clams! No, oysters and turban shells are hard to beat.
"Are you going to cook them?"
"I'm removing the sand right now. I don't like the crunchy texture"
"Ah, I understand"
Haru-san understood me.
"Do you cook it on the grill?"
"I guess so. I'll use salt and this for seasoning.
When I took out the salt and fish sauce, Ruin-san and the others were shocked.
"Soy sauce?"
Oh, it looks like soy sauce, doesn't it?
"Unfortunately, it's not. It's fish sauce"
"Fish sauce?"
You still don't get it, do you?
"Simply put, it's a soy sauce version of fish. Do you know what Nam Pla is?"
"Maybe I've heard of it"
Well, it's about that level of recognition...it's delicious...but since it's so special, I think I'll treat Ruin-san and the others to it.
