Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi ~ Sokushi Mahou to Skill Copy no Choetsu Heal Volume 2 Chapter 1

I’ve done everything I need to do this holidays, so hopefully I can translate one chapter a day from now! It’ll probably be hard, but whatever hyahyahya. Thanks for reading~

After leaving the village of the ice wolf race, we head towards Ra.n.a.litta. Unlike the trip here, we don't have to hurry for the trip back, so we are running at a reasonable pace on the bipedal, horseback type reptile raptor.

While letting the raptor run, I focus my senses to check for monsters that appear. I want to gain EXP from defeating monsters, and I want to secure ingredients for today's lunch. Eating monsters isn't to save food expenses, but it's to get stronger. I've still only eaten the one-horned rabbit. By eating a monster that has well working, adaptable genes, it raises my talent values and is a shortcut to becoming stronger, so it's necessary to eat a variety of monsters.

There are two different categories of monsters. One of them are monsters that naturally generates and does as they please. Most monsters are from this category.

The other one are monsters that are set to work by their rulers, the demonic race, and can take actions for their organization, but don't move unless they're under the king's orders.

Making the raptor run is quite refres.h.i.+ng. The good thing about it is that it's fast and doesn't tire; this was some good shopping. While thinking about that, I could see the figure of a monster concealed behind a tree in the forest.

"I found one, Setsuna, Freya, we're going to hunt that monster." (Kearuga)

That monster had abnormally long hind-legs, and was a wild boar with a green body. I stop the raptor's legs while thinking how I should cook the wild boar to make it tasty.

"Ugh, my whole body has become covered in mud." (Freya) (TL Note: Idk how to translate ううう, but just think of it as a cuter way of saying ugh.)

Freya complained while even her prideful pink colored hair was covered in mud.

To catch the strange emerald green wild boar monster, I was running past the forest, but in the middle of it, he started powerfully throwing dirt at us with it's hind legs. Setsuna and I were able to easily dodge it, but Freya whose reflexes aren't very good completely took it to the face, and on top of that fall over. Because of that, it turned into something tragic.

After somehow defeating the emerald green wild boar and handling it, I used all the meat for our lunch.

"Yeah. Freya is a dunce. Taking that hit means you're unskilled." (Setsuna)
"Setsunchan, you're horrible. After all, it just can't be helped since I'm a magician." (Freya)

Although her point is plausible, counter measures are necessary.

"Freya, although it was lucky that mud was thrown, but if they were stones, it would have been a serious injury. This time you're luck was good." (Kearuga)

The common method is for a magician to chant while being protected by a vanguard, and send serious damage to the enemy from the rear.

That being said, as long as we are fighting as a small party, we can't be that luxurious. A certain level of self-defense is necessary. This is Freya's issue and was already viewed as a problem from before. From the start, I had been planning to give her close combat training. That's right, I've thought of something good.

"Setsuna, from every morning from now, could you practice for two hours with Freya?" (Kearuga)
"Kearugsama, is that an order?" (Setsuna)

With a slightly displeased face, Setsuna asked me a question.

"It's just as I said. Plus, Setsuna is probably more suited to teach than I am." (Kearuga)

After all, although I have techniques for close combat, they're things I【Imitation Heal】from other people. Even though I copied their experience of putting in effort, it's hard to say that it's become my own flesh and blood.

"Yeah. I'll make her into an adult warrior. Setsuna is strict. I'll be careful so that she won't die." (Setsuna)
"Ple-, please go easy on me." (Freya)

While being somewhat stiff, Freya bows her head. I commend you for not refusing right now.

"At the very least, we should get rid of that dirt. The water we have on hand isn't enough." (Kearuga)
"That's fine. There's a river nearby." (Setsuna)

Setsuna mutters that while twitching her white wolf ears; her ears are extraordinarily excellent. She must have heard the sound of water that we couldn't hear.

"That being the case, let's bath there. I want to refresh myself as well." (Kearuga)
"I agree. I feel unpleasant from being drenched in sweat after running." (Freya)
"Setsuna doesn't mind whichever. I'll obey Kearugsama." (Setsuna)

That being the case, it's been decided. Let's head towards the river at once.

After taking a cold bath to wash away the mud and sweat, I started cooking with the monster we hunted earlier. Both Setsuna and Freya are completely exhausted and it seems that we played around too much. Doing it outside from time to time isn't bad. (TL Note: Don't know if this has a s.e.xual meaning, but whatever.)

"Now, I guess I should start cooking." (Kearuga)

The only one who's still full of energy is me. Although it'll be a late lunch from because we played around too much, I'll make it properly. I'll need to make sure they please me as much as I let them enjoy themselves. Satisfying my s.e.xual desire, and now my appet.i.te.

"As I thought, a wild boar's meat is hard." (Kearuga)

I can tell from the feeling I get after inserting my blade; it's not something that can be eaten by being boiled or grilled. However, my【Jade Eyes】had seen the adaptable genetics inside this meat that raise the defensive talent values. It would be a waste to not eat this. Ok, there's a good cooking method for this.

"Hard meat should be minced." (Kearuga)

Placing a lump of the wild boar's meat on an instant chopping board made of rocks, I thoroughly struck it with my sword. To the meat that had become minced, I mix in finely chopped wild edible plants I found in the mountains. In addition, I knead in dry bread that had been broken up and water as well. After kneading it enough, I broke it up into small meatb.a.l.l.s.

In my village, to cook the horses that have gone old and unable to work, this technique was used a lot. No matter how hard the meat, it will make it soft and delicious.

Then, I pour water into a pot and warm it up with an open-air flame, and take out a reddish brown condiment that was made from fermenting corn, comiso and put it in. The comiso starts making a good smell, which means it's time to put in the meatb.a.l.l.s. (TL Note: Is comiso (コミソ) an actual thing? Apparently miso can be made with corn, but it's still called miso. It might be some fantasy condiment that only exists in this world though.)

"Yeah, if it's like this, the beast stench is better as well." (Kearuga)

Although I thought of roasting it, the beast stench that the meat emitted was too strong. Therefore, I decided to use it as an ingredient in comiso soup. Comiso has strong flavor and smell, so by using it, the beast stench is negated.

"That reminds me, Setsuna caught fish didn't she." (Kearuga)

The fish that she picked up had been gathered in one place, and I threw them into the pot after removing their internal organs and cutting them into chunks.

"That's a good smell, Setsuna's hungry." (Setsuna)

Before I knew it, Setsuna had worn her day clothes and poked her face out from behind me while twitching her nose.

"This time's cooking is something I'm confident in. There's plenty of soup made from meat and fish." (Kearuga)
"It looks tasty. I want to eat it quickly." (Setsuna)
"Could you wake up Freya?" (Kearuga)
"Don't worry about that, look." (Setsuna)

When I look towards Freya, she just woke up and her stomach made a noise. And because of the embarra.s.sment, her face flushed.

"Yeah, it certainly is fine. Well then, let's start our late lunch." (Kearuga)
"Yup. I'll bring out the plates." (Setsuna)

Setsuna brought out plates for three people, washed them and then brought them over. I pour in plenty of soup that had meatb.a.l.l.s and thickly cut fish into them.

"Although this meatball is a bit smelly, it's fluffy and has the taste of wild plants. It's quite good." (Freya)
"Setsuna likes food with a chewy texture. Fish is the best." (Setsuna)

Freya eats the meatb.a.l.l.s elegantly and Setsuna vigorously crunches the whole fish including the bone with her teeth.

I'm also eating from my own share of soup, and although the taste has a peculiarity, the good flavor is strong. It's the type of taste that makes you addicted to it.

The meatball is fluffy just like I planned, and the fish is a freshly caught fish. There's no way it could taste bad.

"There's enough for a second serving, but how about it both of you?" (Kearuga)
"I'll gratefully take it…, since I've become hungry after exercising." (Freya)
"Setsuna will also eat." (Setsuna)

It's after some intense exercise, so of course you'll be hungry. It was a great help that Setsuna caught some fish.

"Kearugsama, this food, it's strange because it's not just delicious. Power is welling up inside me." (Setsuna)

I was a bit surprised. As expected of the ice wolf race that has sharp senses. It seems that she's noticed the small increase in talent values.

"The truth is, I used the monster meat from the wild boar we hunted earlier. Eating a monster normally is poison, but if you use a secret technique pa.s.sed down in my village, on top of being able to eat it, it makes you a bit stronger." (Kearuga)
"… Kearugsama you're amazing. To think you can make people stronger apart from increasing their level limit." (Setsuna)

Setsuna looks at me with eyes glittering with respect. Out of the ice wolf race that desire strength, the one who desires strength the most is Setsuna, which is why she would have the reaction.

"Apart from this, I have other secret methods. I definitely won't make you regret becoming my property." (Kearuga)
"From the start, I wasn't planning to regret it. Setsuna was already helped for a lifetime's worth. That's why, I have to keep trying to give back to you." (Setsuna)

That's an admirable att.i.tude. I probably won't be able to obtain a talented person with a talent value this high, so I'll use her importantly.

Afterwards, we emptied the pot and departed. Although we took a small detour, by night, we were able to return to our inn at Ra.n.a.litta. My revenge still hasn't ended. Right now, it's the time to prepare, and I'm properly scattering the seeds. By now, it should be about time for them to sprout. While thinking about that, I make love with the both of them at night and fall asleep while feeling productive.
