Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill (とんでもスキルで異世界放浪メシ)

Don’t tell me that’s all of them.

Mere child’s play.

I don’t like how hairy they are.

What are we going to do with all these?

Venom tarantulas’ shells make them a challenge to eat.

Huh? You mean these things are edible?

Over already?

Sui wanted to go pew-pew on those guys.

I’m afraid Uncle Fel was too much of a showoff.

Maybe next time.

Sui gets it.

Thanks for being a good sport, Sui.

Foolish human.

Is it not best practice to treat both of your familiars

with the same level of interest and care?

Calm your britches,

I’m plenty interested in you, Fel.

- -Day after day,

you demand I cook you whatever you’re craving.

I let you be as selfish as you want.

If that’s not care, then nothing is.

Well, since you so encourage

my ravenous ways, feed me at once!

I carted the two of you around

like a common mule for hours today.

Pay your respects to me like the legendary creature I am!

As you wish.

I’ll store these guys for now.

You never know when they could come in handy.

Heavy.

Get it in there.

One left.

Done!

Now, what’s on our menu for today?

Hmm...

We don’t have very much of any one ingredient.

I know! I’ll make gyoza!

Gyoza?

What is “gyoza?”

You’ll have to wait and see!

Hmm. Hmm. Acceptable.

Sui’s hungry. Hurry, Master!

All right.

We’ll need wrappers from the Online Grocery

and I’ll pick up some special seasonings, too.

Ah! What would I do without you?

Oh! I see plenty of wagyu options!

Sui wants to shop, too!

This time, we’re buying

the essentials for the gyoza and nothing more.

Mm.

PLEASE ADD FUNDS

PURCHASE ORDER CONFIRMED

GYOZA WRAPPERS WHOLE CHICKEN STOCK - SESAME OIL

Now we have all the ingredients!

First, finely chop the vegetables.

Next, add ginger and garlic paste

to the ground orc general meat.

Then soy sauce, sake, chicken broth powder

and finally, sesame oil, salt, and pepper,

being very careful with how much of each you use.

Because with raw meat,

you really can’t taste as you go, right?

Now knead and keep on kneading

until everything sticks together.

Add Japanese chives

and your pre-dried and salted cabbage.

Then you need to knead some more!

Is it ready?

My stomach grows impatient.

Sorry, you guys, we’re only just getting started.

There’s a lot of ways to wrap gyoza.

But pleats are ideal if you plan to pan-fry them.

- Master is amazing! -Huh?

It’s really not so tricky. Would you like to try it, Sui?

- Yeah! -Hm.

Place some filling in the center of the wrapper.

Place some filling.

Now gently pinch the edges to seal it.

Gently.

Sui’s looks different.

We added a little too much filling.

Other than that tiny mess up, you’re a pro.

Sui’s a pro.

Looks like a Fel-sized portion to me.

Arrange the gyoza and cook them on medium heat.

Once they start to change color,

add some flour dissolved in water and cover the pan.

The water will boil off and the pan will start to sizzle.

That's when you drizzle the sesame oil.

Last but not least...

Now!

Feast your eyes upon these thoroughly-seasoned gyoza!

THOROUGHLY SEASONED ORC GENERAL GYOZA

Here you go. Now, I added some extras,

so they shouldn’t need any sauce.

But a little chili oil and vinegar soy sau...

These scalding pearls are filled

with a distinct meaty yet juicy goodness,

the likes of which I have never tasted!

The moment you bite into them,

flavor explodes onto your tongue!

The temperature, texture, and aroma are all exceptional!

Sui likes the crispy outsides

with the ooey-gooey insides!

-Another round please! -Another round at once!

I figured you would ask for more,

so I started on a second batch.

Just wait a little bit longer.

What a decadent delicacy!

Good job, Master! So tasty.

If you two have eaten your fill, I won’t hold back.

Ahh!

A cold beer with warm gyoza is the be...

Huh?

Huh?

Huh... Huh?

CAMPFIRE COOKING IN ANOTHER WORLD WITH MY ABSURD SKILL

EPISODE 13 "MY NEW FRIEND IS ABSURD"

So, uh, what’s that?

That is what we call a pixie dragon

and it’s a very rare find indeed.

It’s a dragon?

I didn’t realize they could be so small.

Hmm...

Hmm? Hmm?

Maybe it likes the smell of the gyoza.

Here, try it.

It already wants some more?

Dig in.

Wow, dragons are pretty cute when they’re small like this.

Do not allow its small stature to deceive you.

Uh...

Not only are these beasts surprisingly quickM

they are deadly combatants

and masters in every type of magic.

Whoa!

Ah... What the?

Why’s it on my head?

Hello! I was nice to you!

What was that?

That stuff is crazy delicious! Give me more!

Mm?

Uh...

Who just said that?

It’s obvious.

That pixie dragon has decided to join our party as your familiar.

Familiar?

What a meal!

I could tell just by looking at it!

I don’t mind being your familiar

if it means I get to eat tasty stuff like that!

Nice to meet you.

Another one?

It’s talking!

Just like how Sui can talk!

Wow. You’re a lot stronger

than you seem at first glance, aren’t you?

Sui is strong! Strong is Sui!

Hold on just a second, I did not consent to this!

What happened?

Fel told me you’re some sort of ultra rare beast!

Are you sure you wanna be my familiar?

Just for some food?

I’ve already made up my mind!

Your cooking is the most delicious I’ve ever tasted!

If I stick by your side,

I’ll get to keep on eating it, won’t I?

I guess.

Its reasoning is sound.

A few decades spent doing the bidding of a bumbling human

is no great loss to legendary creatures like us.

I’m glad someone gets it!

Us long-lived species should get to have fun, too!

Doesn't the master have any choice in the matter?

- -And why is every creature

in this world such a glutton?

First things first!

As your familiar, I’m going to need a name.

-Get creative, buddy! -Huh?

You’re being pretty demanding for the new guy.

Hmm... What do you name a dragon?

A very tiny dragon.

Hm? Dora-chan! Sound good?

Dora-chan?

Are you kidding me? It doesn’t suit me at all!

Well, I think it fits you perfectly. Dora-chan!

That’s the kind of name you give a child!

I'm an adult dragon!

Oh? I couldn’t tell.

DORA-CHAN 116 - PIXIE DRAGON

Sorry, but it looks like your name’s already been set.

You're a 116 years old?

You don’t look it.

Don’t you think you can come up with something cooler?

It’s too late now.

Honestly, I don’t see why you’d be unhappy with your new name.

What’s so bad about it?

You can’t expect much from him.
