This “Summon Kitchen” Skill is Amazing! ~Amassing Points by Cooking in Another World - CH 114

In the conversation before the magic fish appeared, it was decided to wait and see, but new information was obtained.

“Does that mean that the magic fish can now make magic stones. . .? The magic fish just now was a fish, wasn’t it?”

Shizuku-chan was the first to react to Thruster-san’s words.

Yes. I thought that it could only be found in shell-shaped magic fish, but no matter how I thought about it, the magic fish just now was a fish.

I wonder if pearls can be made not only form shellfish but also other fish.

“It’s not confirmed, but there is no doubt that a pearl was found inside the body of a magic fish. Please tell me a little more about pearls. In your world, pearls are made by shellfish. Isn’t that right?”

“Yes. Umm. . . If I remember correctly, they are mainly made by oysters. I think they were called pearl oysters.”

I spoke to Thruster-san this time.

It’s more detailed than what I was talking about at the beginning. . . . . But since it’s as far as I can remember, there isn’t much information.

I think there were several other types of oysters that made pearls besides pearl oysters. Maybe.

“The larger the size of the pearl, the more expensive it was.”

“I see. You can’t get it from any shellfish.”

“Yes. In the first place, it’s not something that can be done naturally in large quantities. . . In our world, it was growing shellfish to artificially make pearls.”

There are natural pearls and cultured pearls.

Because it can be farmed, the price was affordable even for a commoner like me.

“What else do you remember about Pearls?”

“And then. . . well. It was called ‘Moon Drop’ or ‘Mermaid’s Tears’.”

“Moon. . . Drops. . . That’s what it was called, wasn’t it?”

Shizuku-chan reacted to the nickname of the pearl.

“Ah, I don’t think it has anything to do with Shizuku-chan. It’s just that beautiful.”

“. . . . That’s right.”

I immediately followed up, but Shizuku-chan seemed to be thinking a little.

When everyone somehow ran their gaze towards Shizuku-chan, Thruster-san continued talking.

“I don’t know the connection with Shizuku-sama’s name, but I will keep it in mind. Anyway, in that world, pearls are rarely naturally produced in the body of shellfish, and it is never in fish. That’s how it is, isn’t it?”

“Yes. . . .Well, it’s one in ten thousand. . .”

I nodded to Thruster-san’s words, who summarized the story.

And I added something else that I thought was unlikely, but that I could think of.

“Perhaps there is a pearl in the body of an oyster. . . Carnivorous fish eat it. It may be possible for a pearl to accidentally enter the body of a fish. . .”

“Volvi, where was the pearl in the body of the fish?”

“Shina-sama asked me to drain the blood, so I took out the internal organs. . . . . It was inside the digestive tract.”

“I see. So that idea is also possible.”

Thruster-san put his hand to his mouth at the words of Hurst-san and me and thought deeply.

‘Um,’ I said to Hurst-san.

“In the case of magic beasts, is the place where the magic stones are located determined?”

“No, the places where the magic stones are located vary depending on the magic beast. Therefore, I wondered if it would be possible to identify whether the magic fish this time made the magic stone themselves or whether they ingested it from outside.”

“Is that so. . . .”

If the place where the magic stone is made in the body is decided, I thought that the part where the magic stone was found this time could narrow down the possibilities, but that seems to be difficult.

“There are two main possibilities. One is the possibility that the fish-shaped magic fish has become able to create magic stones, pearls. A pearl was indeed in the body of a magic fish and it used it to get out of the magic sea. There is no doubt about this. And whether it will be only this time or the same thing will happen in the future will change things.”

“. . . That’s true.”

Summarize what we know.

-There are magic stones and pearls with magical powers in this sea.

-There are poachers taking pearls and trying to sell them.

-There is eyewitness information that magic fish are coming out of the magic sea.

-We encountered a fish-shaped magic fish that reached the harbor from the magic sea.

-A pearl was found inside the body of the magic fish.

Also. . .

“Um, I don’t really understand this, but. . .”

I haven’t told everyone yet.

The strange thing I experienced at that shop that sold pearls.

“When I held the pearl, I heard a voice.”

“Voice?”

“Yes. That. . . ‘I want to see you, I want to see you.”

It may not have anything to do with the current magic fish riot, but I feel like I should talk about it properly.

It’s scary to hear voices while holding pearls. . .

“Haha! It’s like the rumored ghosts in this port!”

Elja-san, who had been silently listening to my words until now, smiled amusingly.

No, it’s no laughing matter.

“Elja-san and the others also heard stories about ghosts. . .”

“Ah, the port lady told me that!”

Elja-san looks at me and winks.

No, it’s not a topic to wink.

“Ghosts? What is it?”

“Shina-san, what does that mean?”

“I don’t know either.”

Apparently Ash-san didn’t know the story and tilted his head.

Shizuku-chan and Ryleigh-kun didn’t seem to know either, they were looking at me curiously.

“You know. . .it’s a fun trip, and I don’t want to say it too much, but it seems that there are ghosts.”

“From what I’ve heard, it’s when you’re going out to sea. A ghost of a beautiful woman. It’s said that she cries, ‘I want to see you, I want to see you,’ and the boat that sees the ghost sinks.”

“It’s pretty much the same story I heard.”

It’s the type of ghost you see in Japan. . .

“So you can hear voices when you hold pearls?”

As I was getting chills down my spine, Thruster-san looked at me with smart blue eyes.

“I don’t know exactly what it means, but when I touched the pearl at that store, I heard a voice. It started to resonate in my head. . .”

” I was there but I didn’t hear anything. Me and Ryleigh also touched pearls at the store. I didn’t feel anything. What about Ryleigh?”

“I knew it had magical powers, but I didn’t hear a voice.”

“That’s right. . . . .”

After all, I was the only one who could hear it. It’s too scary to have something to do with ghosts. . .

My gaze flew far away, and when I was in the twilight, Shizuku-chan next to me asked, ‘Are you okay?’, looking worried.

“That was the reason why Shina-san was acting strange at that time.”

“Yeah. I let go right away, and everyone was not acting strange, so is it just my imagination? That’s what I thought.”

I hope it’s just my imagination. . .

“I think that the voice of the pearl that Shina-kun heard has something to do with the ghost!”

“Eh, I don’t want it.”

“Haha! Shina-kun is definitely involved in interesting things, and when you’re with Shina-kun, you can do amazing things that you never thought possible!”

“Eh, I don’t want it.”

“I’m the crown prince, and I’m the one who’s endorsed by you!”

“Eh, I don’t want it.”

No need, stamped.

“Aren’t you saying that there are grounds and that it has something to do with the incident?”

“Oh! My intuition!”

Thruster-san let out a sigh of disappointment when I was replying to Elja-san’s cheerful words.

Elja-san cheerfully replied to those words.

I wonder if it’s okay to give a stamp of approval based on intuition. . .

“Leaving the idiot aside, for the time being, this is all the information we have right now.”

“That’s right! Then let’s decide what to do from tomorrow! It’s a special night, I want to play as soon as possible.”

Elja-san doesn’t seem to have had enough fun yet, and seems to be going out to the harbor at night. I’m fine. . .

“So Thruster, what about tomorrow?”

Thruster-san, who received Elja-san’s gaze, looked over everyone.

“Like I said before the magic fish appeared, let’s collect a little more information. If something happens, share the information as much as possible. From tomorrow onwards, let’s continue to split up and investigate.”

“Like today, huh?”

“Yes. One will contact poachers and investigate the cause of the pearls’ generation. The other will collect information about ghosts and magic fish at the port. As an appeal that you are not suspicious at the port, you can play while sightseeing.”

I nodded to Thruster-san’s idea.

Just like when we enjoyed the night market, it would be fine if we act like normal travelers.

Maybe I’m a tourist.

“Then I’ll go with the pearls! The infiltration looks more interesting! Thruster-san will also be going there, right?”

“Yes. I will also investigate pearls.”

“The two of you wouldn’t leave Shina-kun, and Zezgard has become conspicuous, so an infiltration investigation is impossible. Well then, let’s have Ash Claude come with us.”

“Ah. . . yes, I understand.”

Ash-san didn’t object, and nodded at Elja-san’s words.

. . . . For some reason, he’s staring at me a lot.

“Shina-kun, Ryleigh Grand, and Volvi are sightseeing. All that’s left is Shizuku-kun. . .”

Elja-san looks at Shizuku-chan.

Shizuku-chan was looking straight back at those eyes. . .

“I think I’ll go for the pearl.”

“Eh. . . .”

I accidentally let out my voice.

After all, Shizuku-chan only goes sightseeing with me. . .!

“Isn’t it dangerous?”

“Yes. But I thought that if there was one woman, the poacher would not doubt it.”

“Then I’ll go!”

Shizuku-chan, let’s go sightseeing!

I said that with momentum, but Shizuku-chan shook her head left and right.

“No. Shina-san, if you can hear a voice from pearls, I feel like you shouldn’t get too close. . .”

Shizuku-chan made a worried face.

Then she added more words.

“. . . I’m sure Shina-san is in more danger.”

“Eh”

Was there something dangerous for me?

“Huh? It’s just sightseeing?”

I tilted my head because I didn’t understand what Shizuku-chan meant.

Then Elja-san said Haha! and laughed.

“It looks like I’m not the only one giving Shina-kun a stamp of approval!”

Eh. . . What’s that?

“That magic fish jumped towards Shina-san. Let’s solve it quickly and get this ocean back together as soon as possible. I think that’s the best way to protect Shina-san.”

Shizuku-chan spoke with a serious face and hot eyes.

“I and Vol-san will protect you!”

As if to answer that thought, Ryleigh-kun nodded firmly.

“Yes. We will definitely protect Shina-sama.”

And the words of Hurst-san, who is reliable.

I gave in. . .

“Everyone. . . . . .”

. . . I was perplexed.

. . . . . . .I’m just sightseeing.

“You should be fine as long as you spend your time properly. Problems should come again.”

“. . . Yes.”

I want to retort.

I want to retort, but it’s hard to interject words because everyone’s tension matches the idea that my body that attracts problems.

Furthermore, since the magic fish just came out when there’s no gurgling sound.

There’s no doubt that the magic fish jumped towards me. . .

“Confidence”

Everyone has a strong sense of confidence in me.

A mysterious sense of confidence that my constitution is involved.

Strong confidence!

Am I the only one who feels like this night has lasted way longer than a normal night would? It was already dark out when they got to the town. Then there was sightseeing, the competition, the pearl shop, strategy meeting, magic fish subjugation, and another strategy meeting. . . and the prince still wants to play. Shouldn’t it be almost morning by now?
