22 Frikadel (1/2)

We keep walking along the valley path. Silvie basket also already full of herbs that she collected along the way. Too bad we find nothing that similar to the cave during this journey. At the end of the valley, our walk stopped by a high cliff that impossible to pass without climbing it.

”Master Ikki, it seems here is our stop. We can't go further unless we climb this cliff and that may be dangerous. Moreover, we also don't bring much rope to climb up” Matius spoke to me about our situation.

”Oh yeah, I can see that mister Matius. I think this is the end of our journey today. Since we can't go further mean we can only back. Why don't we take a rest for a while? It's already past noon”

”That's right! We can rest and have lunch. We expecting master Ikki will make something delicious like yesterday”

”Yeah, the taste is so unforgettable in our mouth. I'm still drooling when remembering its taste”

”Okay, let's find a good spot to rest first”.

We search for a place that has water and spacey. We found it near a small spring that made from water that leaked from the cliff. Like yesterday, mister Matius skinned a wild boar that they hunt before and mister Marius make a fireplace from nearby stones. I and Silvie are looking for the dry woods and big leaves for plates together. But before I'm going to look for firewood, I leave a request to Matius to keep the meat lards for me and not throw that away. Although a little confused by my request, Matius didn't reject it.

After we done with our respective job, it's time to cook now. When I'm still thinking what should I cook, Silvie handed me the bag that she carried from home.

”Ikki, can be this used too?”

When I see what the bag, its contain boiled potato and in a considerable amount that can feed four peoples. It seems she carry that as her lunch since yesterday she didn't bring anything for lunch, now she seems already prepared.

”Oh, this can be used, but the skin must be peeled first. Can you do that?”

”Yes, I can do that”

I handed her a small knife to peel the potato skin and she does it right away.

”Hmmm…if I have egg, I can make that” I murmuring while seeing the ingredient I have in front of me.

”Master Ikki, do you need an egg?” suddenly Marius interrupt my thinking, maybe he heard what I'm murmuring.

”Ugh yeah, but not egg in birds size. Egg-like chicken egg size”

”I think I saw a nest with egg back there. We hunter usually not disturb nest with egg to preserve the nature but if only just one egg is alright I guess”

”Really? I don't need much, just one is enough”

”Okay, I'll get it for master Ikki”
