381 Bear-san Makes Pudding Using Big Eggs

[It’s done!] Ghazal

The maintenance was over and the knife was returned .

[Even though you fought against the wyvern and the big scorpion with it, it’s almost pristine . It seems that the Miss Bear’s handling is quite good . ] Ghazal

It makes me happy because he seems to be complimenting me . Well, if I use it badly and cause the blade to bend or break, I’d feel bad for Ghazal-san who made the knife .

But weapons are also consumables . It can’t be helped if it breaks and becomes useless . But it will feel terrible if it breaks after a few battles .

[Speaking of which, you said you want the ore you got at that time to be examined, but did you go to the city of dwarves?] Ghazal

[Many things happened so I haven’t been able to go yet . ] Yuna

The Bearmonite is stored in the bear box .

Since then, I’ve been very busy . Going to Misa’s birthday party, going to the elven forest, attending school festival, going to the desert, going to the sea . I didn’t have time to go to the city of Dwarves . With that in mind, it’s too much work for a hikikomori like me .

But now I have the time, and if I go to the city of Dwarves, I want to go so I’ll learn more about the Bearmonite . But as the name suggests, Bermonite is definitely a tool item dedicated to me . Even though the dwarves are familiar with ores like it’s their second nature, I have a feeling that someone will say .

And when it comes to games, I simply solve mysteries and move on afterward . But since it’s not a game, I’m not really bothered by it if I don’t know anything about Bearmonite .

However, ever since I got it, I have a desire to analyze it . My gamer blood boils .

I casually take out the Bearmonite .

Are? Was it always in such color?

I remember it was a strange round ore . It has become pure white . I took it out once more, it’s still pure white .

It was definitely not in this color back then .

I checked it with my skills .

«Bearmonite, a mysterious ore . »

The name and description haven’t changed, but it seems that this is definitely Bearmonite .

[It looks different than before . ] Ghazal

[Yeah, I’ve never taken it out of the item bag since then, but it’s the ore I got before . ] Yuna

Ghazal-san picks up Bearmonite .

[Such a mysterious stone . ] Ghazal

I’m not as surprised as Ghazal-san . Because it’s Bearmonite . No matter what happens, I’m not going to be surprised .

[Don’t you want to break it and check it . ] Ghazal

[Isn’t breaking it supposed to be the last resort? Hey, there’s something that bothers me about this stone, so you can’t break it or shatter it] Yuna

Bearmonite is a rare ore . It’s more likely that I will never get another one . It’ll be a problem if it gets destroyed rendering it useless .

[That’s true . In that case, we may never know . Unless it’s master . ] Ghazal

[Does your master know? (About Bearmonite)] Yuna

[He may know something about it because he travels around the world and gets to see various ores . If he can’t, I don’t know anyone else who can . ] Ghazal

Ghazal-san seems sure with that person, it may be good to meet him at least once . Even if he doesn’t know about Bearmonite, if he’s traveling around the world, he might hear some interesting stories .

[If you’re going there, please say hello to master for me . ] Ghazal

I thanked Ghazal-san and left the shop .

If I go home right now, a normal round trip should take 3 days, so I will kill time before returning to Crimonia .

Killing time means cleaning the bear house . When I returned to the royal capital’s Bear House, I summoned Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear in cub form . Then, I gave Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear a rag each and asked them to clean the floor .

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear roll around while holding a rag to wipe the floor .

I’ll leave the floor cleaning to Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, so I’ll go collect the futons . Then, using the bear gate, I’ll hang it outside the bear house in the sacred tree of the elf village . At the sacred tree, no one can see it . Only Ruimin and the others who can enter the barrier can come to the sacred tree .

I also collected the ones we used in Mereera, the futons I used for my traveling, and dried them here . I have a bear box, so it’s easy to collect those . If I didn’t have a bear box, I would have to carry it one by one . So it’s really convenient .

The elf village has good weather all year long and it’s always a good day to wash . I collected the laundry from all bear houses, washed it, and hung it to dry .

After washing and cleaning, I took Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear to the bottom of the sacred tree . Then, when I return Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear to their original size, I took a nap on top of them instead of a bed .

Then, in the evening, I woke up and hurriedly gathered all of my futons and laundries .

After adjusting the number of days appropriately and returning to Crimonia, I asked the members of the store group to gather at the store during the next holiday . From the morning, six members of the shop group will join Fina and Shuri’s children’s group .

[Yuna-oneesan . What do you want to do now that everyone is here?] Fina

[I got a rare egg, so let’s make a pudding together . ] Yuna

[A rare egg?] Fina

[Jajaaan!] Yuna

I took out a big egg from the bear box along with my voice .

[…………]

[…………]

[…………]

Are? The reaction of the children is weak .

[Etto, maybe big eggs aren’t that rare?] Yuna

But ordinary eggs were rare, so that’s not the case, right?

[Is this really an egg?]

[Well, that’s got to be a lie . There’s no such big egg . ]

[I’m pretty sure that it’s from a big kokekko . ]

[You don’t know . It’s a dragon’s egg . It’s a dragon’s egg because the dragon is big . ]

[I’ve never seen a dragon . ]

Apparently, they didn’t understand the big egg, so they were having trouble reacting to it .

The children looked at the huge spot-billed duck-sized egg and said various things like, . Wait, are there vicious dragons here like in the game?

[Yuna-oneesan . Is this really an egg?] Fina

[It’s so big . ] Shuri

Fina and Shuri also look at the mysteriously-huge spot-billed duck-sized egg and poke it with their fingers .

[It’s neither a dragon nor a big kokekko egg . But it’s the egg of a big bird that is swimming in a lake . ] Yuna

[Big bird?] Fina

[Hmm, about this much?] Yuna

I opened my hands and express the size of the bird .

[Is there such a big bird?]

[Then, if you warm this egg, will a big bird hatch from it?]

[Etto, isn’t it impossible because the parent bird is not here? And also I think it’s impossible to grow it unless there is big water like a lake . ] Yuna

[May I touch it, Yuna-oneechan?]

[Me too!]

[It’s okay, but be careful because it’s heavy . ] Yuna

Children anxiously touched and carried the egg .

[It’s heavy and big . ]

[It’s really heavy . ]

[I’m next!]

I’m a bit worried about them dropping the eggs that the children are holding in their small hands .

[You’ll have your turn . Settle down, stop running . If the egg breaks, it’ll be terrible so be careful . ] Yuna

Well, there are 8 people including Fina and Shuri . There are two eggs, so there isn’t much competition . The egg returns safely .

[And so, I’ll make pudding with this egg, so can everyone help me?] Yuna

[Yea!]

[I’ll help!]

[But how will you break the egg? It’s too hard . ] Fina

When breaking an ostrich egg, I’ve seen it hit with a hard object such as a hammer to make a hole and take out the contents . Therefore, I took out the hammer that I prepared in advance from the bear box .

[I’ll use this!] Yuna

[You’ll break it with a hammer?] Fina

[I’ll only make a hole, but yeah, that’s correct . I’m not really familiar with it, so I don’t know if there’s another way to do it . ] Yuna

There may be a different way in this world, but I don’t know, so I’ll make a hole with this hammer .

The mouth of the bear puppet is biting the hammer . And then I tap it lightly, but it doesn’t break . When I hit it with a little more force, the egg cracked .

[It’s cracked?] Fina

[A little more!] Yuna

I tapped it again to open a hole .

[Bring a bowl for the eggs . ] Yuna

[Okay . ]

When I received the bowls, I removed the contents of the egg from the hole . However, I couldn’t take it out well, and the yolk was in a messy state .

[Ah, the yolk broke . ] Yuna

The children were disappointed because the yolk got broken .

Hmmm, it seems that it was a mistake to make the hole smaller in order to show the eggshells to other children later .

This time, I made the hole bigger and take out the yolk in a clean state, the children cheered .

[So big!]

[This could become a big bird . ]

[Bird, I wanted to see it . ]

I want to show it to them, but I can’t take it here, so it’s impossible . The big bird can be brought in through the bear gate, but they cannot be raised over here, so they are only going to be used as food . I also eat kokekko, so there is no problem . Somehow it feels like it’s going to be something else .

[Alright, I’m going to make pudding . I’ll begin stirring it . ] Yuna

When I crushed the yolk, the words and come out .

[Help me out here . Don’t forget to prepare the tools and cups . ] Yuna

We split into two groups and started making pudding with the huge spot-billed duck-sized eggs .

I’ve heard that ostrich eggs are about 20 times larger than chicken eggs . Since one normal-sized egg can make two puddings, the two large eggs here can probably make 80 .

It’s just a rough calculation . However, even if it increases or decreases a little, the amount it can make satisfies the number to be distributed to the children of the orphanage and the people close to me .

And with the cooperation of everyone, the pudding using huge spot-billed duck-sized eggs was completed . I tried tasting it, but it was a flavor-rich pudding with a different taste from the ones made from kokekko eggs .

The finished pudding had huge spot-billed duck-sized eggshells together when I distributed the pudding . everyone was surprised by the taste of the pudding, but even more so, they were surprised by the size of the eggshells .

Next time, I’ll go to Karina along with kokekko .
