Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken novel Chapter 282

She already had enough points, and so I had asked for her help.

“I…as you know, am not very good at cooking…”

She seemed worried, but it was no problem.

What I was going to ask Marsha was not cooking, but a new type of magic experiment.

I thought that her talent for magic was genuine, and so I wanted to use this opportunity to perform an experiment that I had thought of.

Besides, if I needed any help, there was also an instructor who was healing from an injury that I could ask.

“Alright, I’ll be back once at midday.”

“Leave the firewood to me!”

“See you later!”

So saying, the three of them set out.

Now, it was time to start preparing the food.

As I had caught the monster alive, the meat would be very fresh.

I asked the combat supervisor, who had recovered from an injury, to remove the blood and process the meat.

There was something awe-inspiring about watching it happen.

If I wanted to–well, I could perform it in auto-mode with Ciel’s help, but I didn’t want to draw any attention.

I just want to make it very clear, it had nothing to do with my sore muscle.

You could say that the instructor’s efforts were a huge help.

On the first day, we had done a fish barbecue, but today we would have meat skewers.

I added some wild vegetables that looked highly nutritious along with the meat as I skewered them.

Then I sprinkled some of the prepared salt over them and finished it off with some ground up grass on top.

Now I just had to cook them.

To be honest, it looked quite delicious already.

After all, I had used ‘Appraisal’ to find out the right amount of salt and adjust the flavor with the herbs.

This meant that under the circumstances, it was in the best possible state.

However, I was not finished yet.

The main dish would be the soup I was making now, through boiling the bones.

“How is it?”

I asked Marsha.

And then–

“I can’t believe it… How…there is no magic depletion, so how is it possible to control magic with such accuracy for a long period of time!?”

She replied with much excitement.

It seems to have worked. I gloated inwardly.

I actually wanted to test it myself, but that was just not possible. My identity needed to stay hidden, and it wouldn’t make sense for me to teach new types of magic when I wasn’t even a student.

And so.

I had Old William become my assistant.

Well, I asked him to be sort of an instructor.

Last night, I had secretly talk with William, saying that I would have Marsha stay as a helper. That was when William would naturally start to talk to her and eventually instruct her. That was the plan.

And it was going well.

As for the rest…

After I finished preparing the bones to be boiled in the large pot, I started talking to Marsha.
