Reihe: Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill

Enjoy the bounty of the sea!
Mukohda was brought to another world from modern Japan by falling victim to a 'Hero Summoning.' Though he managed to conquer a dungeon along with his three familiars, Fel, Sui, and Dora-chan, in the end they just went back to enjoying their carefree trip. After ordeals like suffering the envious gazes of new adventurers, and destroying an orc settlement, Mukohda finally arrives at the seaside town of Berléand. Now that they've come to the ocean, there is but one thing to do - fully enjoy their longtime goal, the bounty of the sea!!
So Mukohda's party samples all the ocean has to offer, from hunting krakens, to frying or grilling fresh seafood, smacking their lips in anticipation of a barbecue, or even just walking around the morning market and eating their fill. 'But it can't all be fish, I can't just cut out meat completely, right?' So Mukohda thought... and then Fel and the others, on the hunt once again, found something outrageous---?!

“So Fenrirs really do talk......” Horace whispered, looking surprised.

“Oh, sorry. Man, I heard about it, but actually seeing it is surprising, or something......”

“Hahaha, I get it. I was incredibly surprised when I first met Fel, too.”

“Being able to understand and speak human language is really the mark of a legendary beast, no? That Fenrir is probably on the level of an ancient dragon.”

“Indeed. They are longer lived than we are, after all. So they are all crotchety old men and women with too much time on their hands. Being able to speak human language would be simple for them.”

Jöran was laughing “Ho, ho, ho!” and Horace was saying stuff like, “So he calls ancient dragons crotchety old men and women...”

“Uh-Uhm... Can I get you to butcher this, too?” In order to try and change the topic, I brought out the black serpent, giant dodo, and two cockatrices that Fel and Dora-chan hunted before leaving Dolan out from my Item Box. The dim grey rhino and the sabre tiger couldn’t be eaten, so I was keeping them for now.

“Oh, a black serpent, giant dodo, and cockatrices, huh? Of course that’s fine.”

“I’d like the meat back, and to sell everything else.”

“Yeah, got it. To butcher the cyclops and all this...... Can you come back around this time tomorrow?”

“Okay.”

“Well then, would it be fine if I handed over the request reward and the money for the cyclops materials tomorrow, too?”

“Yes, that’ll be fine.”

Now that that was all wrapped up, we left the Adventurer’s guild.

? ? ? ? ?

“How about here? There is nobody around, so it seems perfect.”

“Yeah, you’re right. This place looks fine.”

After leaving the Adventurer’s guild, we also left the town itself in order to test out Sui’s new skill, “Giganticize,” which we confirmed yesterday. I had Fel bring us somewhere spacious and empty. Fel brought us to a grass field a little ways away from Nijhoff.

“Sui, can you come out for a bit?”

When I asked that, Sui came bouncing out of the bag. «Master — what is it?»

“Remember how yesterday, we found out that you got a new skill?”

«Yeah. The one that makes Sui super big.»

“Right, right. That skill that makes you super big? I was thinking I wanted to see how big you can get, Sui. Can you try using it right now?”

«Yeah, that’s fine. Then everyone should get a little bit away from Sui, okay?»

«Hey hey, get away? Just how big are you becoming?»

“We’re gonna find that out right now, Dora-chan. Let’s do as Sui said and make some space.”

The three of us did as Sui asked and left.

«Okay then, let’s go—.» With Sui’s voice as a trigger, Sui got bigger and bigger.

And we watched, dumbfounded. It truly was a skill to “Giganticize.” There sat an absolutely ginormous slime, about five meters tall and ten meters across.

«Maaasterrr — Sui caaann beeecome thiiis biiiiiig.» It must have been because of his skill, but Sui’s telepathic messages sounded a lot lower and bassier.

«S-So big......» Dora-chan was a little scared at Sui’s excessive hugeness.

“This is a huge slime? This is larger than the huge slimes I have met before,” Fel said.

“To be so big it even surprises Fel... Is it because Sui’s special?”

“That is probably the case. I cannot think of any other reason.”

“So Sui really is a special slime...”

«Suuuiii iiis speeeciaaal? Yaaaaaaaaay!»

*THUD* *THUD* *THUD* *THUD*

Sui, happy, started bouncing around — still in gigantic form.

“Ahh! Sui! Calm down! Go back to your normal size!”

«Okaaaaaaaaay.»

I had no idea how it worked, but as soon as I said it was okay to go back, Sui smoothly started to shrink until it was back to its original size.

«How was it? Sui got super big, right?»

“Yeah, Sui was really big.”

«Eheheh. You know, Sui can become any size up to that one. Isn’t Sui amazing?»

is

«But, Sui likes being the size that can go inside this,» Sui said, using a tentacle to poke at its favorite bag.

“I like that size, too. You’ve been that size ever since I met you, so it just feels like you, Sui.”

«Eheheh, Master feels the same as Sui—. Sui likes this size the best, so Sui will stay like this.»

“That’d be nice. But get bigger if I ask you to, okay?”

«Got it!»

Looking over at where Sui giganticized, the grass was crushed completely flat.

“Hey, it’s about time, so why don’t we just eat here?”

«Oh, that’s a great idea. The weather’s nice too, so eating here’ll feel awesome.» Dora-chan seemed fully intent on the idea, as he flew circles around us.

“Indeed. It is a good idea.”

«Food~.»

“Then I’ll start cooking, so wait just a bit.” I was a bit lost as to what to make, but just as Dora-chan said, the weather was great, so it would have to be for such good weather. I took out the barbecue grill I had order-made.

I was planning on grilling some more of the sausages I’d made before, as well as some bloody horn-bull and wyvern meat. Also, some vegetables for me as well. Having just meat really would get old, I figured, so I’d want to eat something refreshing to the palate. It’d be better to marinate the meat, but making the sauce and marinating it here would take time...... that

I opened my Online Supermarket and started buying ingredients.

~?~?~?~

Put the bloody horn-bull and wyvern meat in the store-bought tare to marinate... there.

Use a peeler to take off the hard skin on its bottom. The peppers and corn will be grilled as is, so I leave them alone.

Dump the charcoal into the appropriate drawer in the order-made barbecue grill and light the fire, and put the sausages and vegetables on the grill first.

Spread olive oil on the peppers and asparagus. After that, I grill the meat for the main dish on its sides.

~?~?~?~

“Heeyyy, it’s done!” Piling up an extra-large serving on their plates, I served out meat to everyone. Everyone started eating with gusto. I knew they’d probably ask for more, so I started grilling more meat right away.

The corn would still take a bit more time, so I left it on the grill. I ate the vegetables after seasoning them with only salt and pepper.

“Ohh! The peppers are sweet and delicious. There’s some sweetness when you bite into the whole asparagus too, that’s great. Eating shiitake mushrooms whole too is so good!”

“More.” «More—!» «More.»

I added more grilled meat to everyone’s dishes.

As everyone was enjoying the barbecue...... “Hm? Someone’s coming.” I saw a person’s form from far away.

“Do not mind them. It is just some brats.”

While I was being confused, “the brats,” according to Fel, showed themselves. Rather, it was a group of five young boys and girls in their mid-teens that seemed like new adventurers, wearing things like leather armor and robes.

“Sorry. Can we rest here a little?” asked the boy that seemed to be the leader of the...
