Multiple updates today
This is the third one

We got boar meat.
We decided to eat it all together.

"By the way, how do we eat boar meat?"

"Boiled with peony roots?"

Chiyu tilted her head and asked.

"Oh, I see."

I answered, but I've never actually eaten peony root stew.
Should I just imagine a regular stew?

「Before that, Sousuke-kun. Could you tell me about the food we have?」

Shion asks seriously.

She used the hair tie she had brought with her during the transfer to tie her hair up in a bun.
　Her hair looks cute down, but it also looks good when it’s up.

「O-of course.」

I summoned a large wooden table for cooking and placed the ingredients on it.
　Shion then began to examine them.

「Ah…! There’s kelp here. We can make dashi with this.」

Looking at what she was holding, I added:

「That’s the kelp Chiyu collected on the beach.」

While I was cutting down trees, Chiyu had been collecting items on the wide beach, carrying a basket on her back.
The large stock of seashells I had was also collected by Chiyu.

"They washed ashore."

"They're marked as 'Edible' in my Inventory, so they're safe."

"Yeah. And since Sousuke put them away, they're clean, so you can use them without worry."

"I see. Anyway, they could be used as stock. If fish appear, we might be able to make katsuobushi too."

"That's great! Sousuke's abilities are truly amazing and versatile."

Shion was getting excited.
It seemed she loved cooking.

"Truly impressive, Sousuke."

I also received the customary praise from Chiyu.

As a Japanese person, I also want soy sauce and miso, but...

If I could make them, how long would it take for the ingredients to become available on this island? Salt can be obtained from the sea, so if I can get soybeans, the path would be open...

The complex manufacturing process would be handled by the 'Craft' ability.

"Yeah, but I think it'll taste like a simple pot dish. We can also add mushrooms. For now, let's go with this, but if we find more vegetables during future explorations, it'll look better."

"Oh~"

I had a light breakfast, but I'm getting hungry just listening to this.

"Grilling meat seasoned with salt would be good too."

"Grilled meat!"

「没有网，看来只能在石头上烤了？」

「交给我吧。我会生成一个不错的。」

「呵呵，拜托了。如果这是早饭，那晚饭就来烤肉吧。」

「嗯。」

「没有异议。」

千癒舔了舔嘴唇。

「话说，Sousuke，你能做炉灶吗？」

「哦，确实，有它会方便很多。」

Shion reminded him, and after searching for the recipe, it seemed he could make it.

Since he hadn't seen it yesterday, it could be said that whether he could make it or not was one of the conditions for unlocking the recipe.

There are also recipes that get added without me even having to imagine them, so it's no mistake that discovering ingredients is an important element.

So, I make a hearth.
Basically, it's something to concentrate the fire, so it just needs to enclose the fire.
Of course, it also needs a place to put the fuel.

I still have plenty of 'stone' in my inventory, so it was easy to generate.
Still, stone is really convenient... I'll actively turn any rocks I find into items from now on.

I've finished generating it, so I place it.

"Wow, thank you!"

Just like stars twinkling, Shion's face suddenly lit up with a smile.

"Thanks. I'm not very knowledgeable about cooking, so this is a big help."

I light the fire right away.
　I set up the earthenware pot and a barrel filled with water to make a botan nabe.

"I'm glad I can be of some use at last."

Shion murmured happily.

I want to tell her not to worry, but she might be feeling a bit out of place.

Indeed, while the others have fairly obvious cheats, Shion's ability is rather subtle.
　If she were to get involved with another faction, she'd likely be very helpful.

"Sou, I can cook a little too."

"Heh heh, I know."

I've cooked with my mother before, and she's made me lunch a few times.

It's just that cooking ordinary meals and cooking with ingredients available in this environment are different.

"Ugh... If I had eggs, I could make sou-kun's favorite omelette..."

Chiyu clenched her fists in frustration, her expression unchanged.

"Eggs would be nice too. You could use them for sukiyaki, dipping the meat in the pot."

Shion seemed to be having fun talking about the ingredients.

"Mmm, it sounds delicious."

"Is it possible that chickens are also classified as 'meat' and placed on this island?"

I hummed in response to Chiyu's comment.

"I wonder if they place animals that have been domesticated."

To begin with, the sudden ability to place animals on the island was strange, so I wasn't surprised to see domesticated animals appear in nature.

「If there is one, catch it and keep it.」

「That’s right.」

「A...!」

While we were using a stone knife to slice the boar meat, Shion suddenly let out a cry.

「W-What’s wrong?」

「You know, Shouko-chan summoned a sheep for us yesterday, right?」

「Yeah.」

Thanks to that, we got a lot of wool and were able to stay warm while sleeping.

「So, the wool we harvested didn’t disappear, right? Then—how about the milk?」

「I see, you mean the milk...!」

I had a fixed idea that milk was cow's milk, so I didn't notice.

"What does sheep's milk taste like?"

"Well, I once had it before... Rich? Creamy? You can't drink a lot of it, but it seems to be nutritious, so it would be nice if we could get some."

"I want some, but it's a tricky situation. The meat of the creatures we summoned was 'not edible,' right? I wonder if the milk is considered a collectible item like wool."

"Based on our previous experiences, Shouko's perception is important."

"Yeah. When Shouko comes back, we'll ask her."

"Okay, let's do that."

Just then, Shouko arrived at the perfect moment.

"Phew. Minori, you can do the rest yourself. Sousuke, could you put away Minori's clothes?"

Shouko placed a laundry basket near me.

"Wow, good job. By the way, Shouko."

As I put it away, I asked her.

"What's up?"

I asked her, my excitement getting the better of me.

"Can you get milk?"

Shouko froze for a moment, then her face turned red.

"Huh!? What!? Sexual harassment!?"

She crossed her arms in front of her ample chest, as if to shield it.

"Oh, Souse-kun..."

"I didn't mean it like that."

Shion gave a wry smile, and Chiyu calmly pointed out.

“Ah, no, that’s not it! I’m sorry! I was just talking about whether we could get sheep’s milk right now...!”

I hurried to explain myself.

I was glad that the four staves were in the bathroom.
Otherwise, I would have been scolded for being lewd.
