Chapter 19 River & Salt Making

After we to the river, Ado starts bathing.

The water splashes my way.

The water transparent, dazzling water reaches up to my knees.

Is this groundwater?

I finally after a long time, rather Im bathing for the first time since being born.

I dont get much dirty because Im a Vampire, but the cold water feels nice.

Is this water drinkable?

Its that persons turn.

Appraisal-san, if I could trouble you.

Description: Lovely clear stream. High purity. Drinkable.

Apparently, its drinkable.

Gokuri

A cold water goes through my throat.

Water is delicious after all.

Being called the source of life is not just for show.

Wanwan

Oh.

Nice going, Ado.

Fish catching master, Ado.

A dog? that uses his paws in the same manner bears do.

While basking in the sun

Kuikui

Wanwan

A normal river fish-like feeling, huh.

Because I only saw raw fish in supermarkets. Probably.

Appraisal-san.

Description: Fish inhabiting rivers. Edible fish. Matches well with algae.

Adult fish can grow up to 30cm. Popular grilled with salt.

This is a sweetfish.

Jururi

I got hungry just from appraisals words.

Since this is the 50th floor, we are most likely underground.

The water should move in this cycleRainGroundwaterRiverSeaRain.

There may still be salt in this groundwater.

I may be able to make salt if I bring some water home with me

Yosh!

If Im not mistaken, there should be a container fixed in the item box I have received from El Jiisan.

There it is.

I collect water in the container.

Not feeling the weight of the item box is seriously convenient.

I bathed and also got some fish.

We should return back.

Ado, lets go

Kuikui

I climb on Ado who lowered its head and we return home.

When I return back home and ask El Jii about the salt,

Salt? Salt is a luxury ingredient jakaranou its not easy to get jaro

Im glad I have confirmed the existence of the salt for the time being.

Why is that so?

El Jiisan, why is it a luxury ingredient?

There are not much rock salt mines ja. Rock salts are usually swarmed with strong monsters nou. It takes too much expenses to overtakeno ja

Are? Why dont they produce salt from the seas?

I have heard that they evaporating the sea water, though.

Theres a method to get salt differently. Are you not getting salt from the seawater nodesu?

We are doing that, but the amount obtained is minuscule ja. And above all, the seawater salt is bad. Its not popular

Ho~u.

This worlds salt may not be that different from Japans.

I have fetched water from the nearby river and Id like to evaporate it, but.

The rivers water which reminds me that I have never tried to evaporate it. You have thought of something interesting ja nou However, Im able to use fire magic nou. Magic tools dont suit me

El Jiisan searches through his item box.

Oh, this ja, this. Bracelet of Flames. Anyone with magic can use this to start a bonfire ja. You can use this. You will somewhat understand how to use it after putting it on your arm jarou

Thank you very much

I receive the bracelet and go outside the house.

I pour the river water inside the container and remove the dirt.

A clean water filtered several times.

Next, I put the container full of river water on a netting and put dry wood underneath.

Oh.

When I extend my right hand towards the dry wood and pour magic inside,

A flame came out.

The dry wood caught on fire.

I and Ado watch attentively.

Soon, the water starts turning muddy, but thats not the salt so I leave it alone.

After putting it back in the container again, it completely crystallizes.

Its done!

Salt desu.

I put a finger in after it cools down and taste it.

Salty.

Absurdly delicious.

In such times, that person appears.

You expert opinion please, Appraisal-san.

Description: Charming salt from the Great Dungeon of Aries. Specific location unknown.

W, what you said

Location unknown

Wont I make mad profits if I sell this outside?

No, no.

I was in the middle of cooking.

Well, I was able to make the salt, lets start grilling the Ayuyu now.
