Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken novel Chapter 273

When I had finished preparing the portion for the exploration group, a major problem came to light.

We don’t have any seasoning.

Are you serious?! This instructor, he has survival kit but not this?!

It’s only natural to prepare the stuff you can’t get naturally before camping.

“I am sorry! My Space Storage was full with the tents…”

Instructor A came earnestly apologizing to me, someone who isn’t even a student.

I don’t know his name so A is good enough.

He had bandages wrapped around his arms and his head so he’s probably one of the instructors who fought against Laplace. It appears that Laplace also held back enough, since these guys are already healed enough to move.

It seems he was the only one carrying tents but to me, seasoning is much more important than tents.

“Seasoning is more important than tents!”

“I-I am sorry! I thought we would be enduring with the rations when camping so…”

“So you don’t have anything?”

“Umm… I have a bit of salt…”

“You have salt? Then it’s fine.”

Ah, I am relieved. I am really relieved.

Salt is all-purpose so we were able to avoid the worst case scenario.

He also had some citrus fruit so the salt and dripping some fruit juice on the fish should be enough.

Instructor A handed over the salt to me, feeling ashamed.

I took the salt with a smile.

He probably thought my anger had dissolved seeing my smile and shamelessly mixed with the other students and started imitating me.

I shall overlook this considering he provided the salt.

The students also looked relieved after hearing our conversation.

“This kid is scary~”

“He was really overwhelming, huh? Peter-sensei looked quite scared, didn’t he?”

“T-there’s no way. No way the sensei would be scared of an ordinary person, like a kid!”

I could hear such conversations but since I was in a good mood, I decided not to bother.

The problem is the salt.

It seems he wasn’t joking when he said he only had a bit of it. It looks like we will run out of salt soon.

Maybe even tomorrow.

While thinking to myself that I have to do something for tomorrow, I continued the work.

Dinner was in barbecue style.

In this situation, when we don’t even have cooking equipment, the methods in which we can cook are limited.

The exploration group brought back edible monsters so I processed those too.

They could do that themselves since it is taught in their lessons.

It seems they also knew how to find out if it could be eaten or not so there doesn’t seem to be a problem.

However, just in case, I used my Appraisal carefully on it and found out that not only was the processing not done properly, the monster’s meat was crushed with a sword and so the quality was very low.

But we can’t really be asking for much.

I also prepared it with chopped up herbs.
