- So, what do you think? Should we put in the effort and look for someone?
- I don't know... I'm barely managing to take care of us as it is. And if a third person shows up, we'll have to pay attention to them too, show them around, tell them things. That's quite a lot. And I'd like to focus more on us. On our gear, on restoring my reputation, on the contest, on the wedding, eventually.
- I agree... But you did say you wanted to be helpful, right?
- I do want to be helpful, yes. And I will be helpful. With good weapons and gear.
- Which will probably fall apart again?
- Well 😅 We'll see. And you need to find some good armor too.
- But we still need someone with unique skills on our team... Sigh, if only Zoritsa or Ayko were still alive.
- We do... I'm not backing down from my words. But you know what? Let's deal with problems as they arise.
- Okay. By the way, Garret returned from that highly praised Dryad, and he said there's some kind of figurine there that will help us invite someone.
- Great. Let's make a note of it, so we remember. But for now, I don't want to rush over there. Or send you? I think women aren't allowed in.
- And there's a bow too. A very powerful one, capable of piercing anything with a single arrow. But he said it's very heavy and difficult to handle. You'll probably miss.
- A bow that you'll probably miss with... No, let's find me a crossbow instead. Simpler and more reliable.
- Maybe... Sigh, am I really considering starting to capture people and torture them to death, just to drain them of their resources?
- Guiyosh, I'm having a bad influence on you.
- Just kidding, just kidding. I wouldn't do that.

Just a hint: nothing prevents Beate from ordering a crossbow from Kragg for 100k. Or however much it costs in your game?

That was actually my plan.

Sorry about that...

By the way, I'll go read about trading tomorrow, since you've decided not to generate any items for yourselves. Just prepare the items for sale in advance, if you even have any.

To sell something you no longer need...

I know, I need to defeat someone unimportant in the arena first.

- Truude-sama, even if you weren't familiar with her, a specialist of your caliber wouldn't compromise on quality, form, or the beauty of the presentation. I assure you, it's excellent – any decent cook would only dream of such a result, - the miko nodded. - If we have the time and opportunity, it would probably be better to prepare different variations of the dishes; I appreciate Edgelord-kun's care for my taste, but there will be different people there after all. But if there isn't an opportunity, that's not a problem, this will be more than enough. Especially since it will definitely please Akiacchi.

- Don't underestimate the Farrelians, Aiyano. - Truude sternly wagged her finger. - Our stomachs aren't picky, and our tongues won't turn up their noses at good food.
For some time after this comment, other fish were also prepared - tanedka, hayamka, miyuka, satomka, inorka, each was cut either into thin slices or into cubes that would be convenient to pick up with chopsticks, but due to their absence, the participants of the picnic would have to do it with their hands or other cutlery... Or they would have had to. While the women were bustling in the kitchen, Lord, who had managed to take a nap, took on another task. He sawed one of the restaurant logs into small, thin pieces, chopped them into thin strips with a knife, and sanded them with sandpaper until they reached the desired state - one end was rectangular, and the other rounded. The thickness of the resulting sticks decreased from one end to the other. In conclusion, he coated them with a human-safe wax sealant, and thus, the most real chopsticks were ready. By the time he finished, the work in the kitchen was also finished - the fish was joined by rice, various raw vegetables, and even boiled shrimp and mussels. Truude had to make the sauce from available ingredients, so there was no hope for an exotic spice like wasabi. But in any case, everything was ready for the picnic.

I'm starting to figure out who the previous owner of the "Dryad" was.

- By the way, what do you think about our whole group going on a picnic? - You're suggesting it in the middle of summer... - Actually, it's possible even in winter. A thermal blanket, hot tea by the fire... - Hmm... - Just saying. - It's strange, I got a head injury in a parallel reality, and you're the one coming up with brilliant ideas...

"For some reason, I thought she would reciprocate by stating her name. Oh well."
— Thank you. By the way," the warrior said, giving her companion an appraising look, "do you need any help setting up the decorations? It must be difficult to do all of this alone.

- Huh? No, it's better to do everything myself, otherwise it turns out that this decoration is five centimeters off, this one is at the wrong angle, and I have to redo everything anyway.

- Whew, - Ayano wiped the sweat from her forehead, as if she had done most of the work, not Trude; but given her lack of experience, she was indeed only slightly tired. Nevertheless, this fatigue quickly passed as she looked at the final result. - This is simply magnificent, Trude-sama! The stomachs and tongues of the Farrellians will surely rumble with pleasure. And Edge Lord-kun, excellent work! Have you ever been to the islands? I would still take some ordinary utensils just in case - in case the children can't handle it? You need to understand the mechanics, - she looks at her watch. - We're doing well on time. Let's pack up and go.

"I guess she's a perfectionist, haha. I can understand that," Alaria thought approvingly.
— It's your right. In that case, good luck with the preparation and may you have good ideas!

After saying goodbye to Nadia, who still hadn't introduced herself, Alaria went home, allowing the time that had weighed her down to pass and ushering the players into a new day.

- I've been to Shiho on business, so I'm aware of some of the peculiarities of island customs. But we'll take spoons and forks, of course.
- Ayano. - After washing and wiping the knife with which she cut the fish into thin slices and cubes, Trude hands it to the priestess.

- Let it remain with you as a memento of me.

Trude's Kitchen Knife
Damage: 30%
Accuracy: 70%
Crit: +2 Bleeding effect, Will save is twice as strong.
Indestructible.

People really love giving Ayana knives as gifts.

- Thank you, Trude-sama, I will cherish it, - he bows and takes the knife with both hands. - But rest assured, the bright memory of you and these pleasant moments will stay with me until the end, no matter what. Believe it or not, you are one of the most unique people I have ever met.


IRL, it's quite fragile; I once broke the tip of one, so now it's chipped, but since it's a good knife, I have to keep using it like this...
