Chapter 28 Taking a break (1/2)
After dissecting some of the more tender parts of Gyuarna meat, I gather some wood and small stones to create a safe fire, that won't come with the risk of a forest fire. With the limited resources that I have on hand, making a proper grill or frying pan is impossible. The only way to give myself some space to prepare the food is the iron ingots that I poached from the smithy before.
When the wood starts turning into charcoal, I cover the top of the firepit with the ingots, to make some flat but heated area. After waiting for the ingots to heat up to a minimal degree, I place the bits of meat on it, while sprinkling it with the rest of my seasonings given to me by my father.
”Are you maybe able to prepare a blood tonics?”
With her legs pulled towards her chest, Eve rested her chin on her knees as she watched me setting up the makeshift grill. With her eyes following every movement of my hands, she appeared to be in a slight daze.

Well, no one could blame her for being overwhelmed by the events that transpired since we met. Almost dying to a horde of baby zombies, miraculously surviving the onslaught of powerful demonic beasts while unconscious, getting an awesome new weapon, killing our way through the area that used to instil fear and deterrence in her previously…
With all the emotions that were gathering for this entire time finally found their way towards her consciousness, it was easy to notice how broken she was. Everything that I showed her belied the rules that she took for granted. Even the way I act and think about stuff is way too unorthodox for someone from this world!
”I don't know what are you talking about. I can try to brew something out of the beast blood, but I'm worried it wouldn't be drinkable.”
With the way I answer, I actually want her to elaborate on this point for a bit. As one of the very few questions that she asked me, it's bound to hold some importance!
”Both the meat and blood of the demonic beasts at the same or higher power level as you can be used as great nourishment. While cooking the meat down has this effect as well, only by preparing a proper blood tonic, one is able to fully make use of the inner energy of the beast.”
Oh, that actually sounds tempting! If my intuition isn't wrong, the beast's blood can be used as an ingredient in potion making! The question is, what are the other ingredients? What is the recipe? Is my cooking skill related to brewing the potions?
”Blop.”
”Host needs to acquire the Pharmacy ability to be able to brew potions and blood tonics!”
”UwU”
I can't even be bothered by the Bonger shrewdness at this point. I can't do it? So be it! I will nevertheless find a way to gain this ability and make the fool out of this stupid system!
”I'm sorry, but I don't have such an ability. Are you capable of brewing them though? I would love to learn something new from you!”
