7.Eating Crab


A bonfire was made. The wood burns with a crackling sound, and it is very warm when you hold your hand over it. Seeing fire makes me feel relieved, why?

Experience the sensation of being on fire for a while. She has acted in various ways since remembering the memories of her previous life, but I feel that things are going better than expected. I wondered why I hadn’t acted until now, and if I had acted sooner, the current situation would have felt different.

“Hah, it’s a little depressing.””

I really regret not doing anything until now. Try to get down a little.

“This is no good”.

Yeah, I’m sure it’s from now on. He blows away her weak feelings with a punch on her cheek.

Picking up a thin branch that was left beside me, I took out a crab from the basket and stabbed the crab in my hand into the branch. After stabbing one after another, when there are 6 crabs, this time, the crabs are stabbed on different branches. Poke 5 mushrooms on each of the remaining branches, and then prick the mushrooms on another branch.

The resulting branches are stabbed into the ground and slowly roasted with far-infrared rays. As the crab, which was moving its legs quickly, gradually stopped moving, a fragrant smell filled the air. Turn it over so that the fire spreads evenly and grill it further.

Delicious-looking juice came out of the crab’s mouth, and when it fell into the fire, it evaporated and became a smell. When I smelled it sniffing, I felt a delicious smell, and my stomach groaned.

The brown crab gradually turns bright red. Continue roasting slowly and carefully while adjusting the branches so as not to burn. Next to the crab, the mushrooms are also starting to burn, and the juice is starting to come out.

I wonder if it’s still good, I want to eat. I wait nervously. While I was staring at the crab, her toes began to burn a little.

“Enough”

I quickly removed the branch from the fire and stuck it to the ground. Mushrooms are also nicely seasoned, so keep them away from the fire. When I look at the grilled crabs and mushrooms, the delicious smoke is coming out, and I can’t stand it.

“We’ll start with the crabs: …… ah-hot!!.”

When I put my hand on the crab to remove it from the branch, it was still hot. Still, I couldn’t overcome my appetite and endured the heat and was able to remove it from the branch.

“Fu, fu”

Breathe while rolling on your palm. Then, I realized that the heat of the crab in my hand was steadily decreasing. Hesitantly, I pick it up with my thumb and forefinger… it’s warm enough to hold.

“Let’s eat”

Open your mouth wide and throw the crab inside. When I bite into it with my teeth together, the crab crumbles with a pleasant crunching sound. As soon as you eat it, the flavor of crab spreads in your mouth.

“Oooooooohhhh.”

It was fragrant and chewy, and frankly, it was delicious. Although the flesh is small, the fragrance of the outer shell is very addictive. She immediately laid her hands on the second one. Blow on it while rolling it on your palm again, and throw it into your mouth before it cools down.

“Hmm, hmm”

When you chew it in your mouth, the fragrant crab flavor spreads softly, and you can’t help but flutter your legs. Even if I tried to savor it carefully, the outer shell easily crumbled with a little force, and I immediately swallowed it.

After cooling down the crab, he puts it in his mouth, chews it and swallows it. I picked one, two, three, and ate them up in no time.

“Ah, it was delicious.”

Immerse yourself in the afterglow with the crab flavor that remains in your mouth. When I was dazed, I saw the remaining mushrooms at the edge of my vision. I’m sorry, I completely forgot.

“What about this one?”

Immediately take the branch and remove the mushroom. The heat is no longer unbearable, and a faint warmth remains. Feel free to tear the mushroom with your hands and throw it into your mouth. When you bite into it, the mushroom juice oozes out and the flavor spreads in your mouth.

“Hmm, the mushrooms are juicy and delicious too.”

It’s slightly crunchy and has a different texture than crab. How good would it have been if there was salt or soy sauce here? I wonder if there is soy sauce somewhere in this world.

“Hmm, the world. Right now I’m doing my best with myself, but what should I do now?”

Think about it while munching on mushrooms. Right now, all I can think about is improving my circumstances, but what would I want to do if things got better?

“I think the big goal is to leave the refugee village. If I remember correctly, the people who receive the morning rations go to town and work, so if I ask them, I wonder if I can ask them for a clue to escape.”

They go to town and work to earn money. If anything, the number of people who are gradually decreasing is the people who received the morning rations. Does that mean that if I go to work in the city someday, I will naturally be able to leave the refugee village?

But even if I try to listen to him in his current state, I doubt if he will tell me honestly. I don’t trust him, so even if I ask him now, he may not answer. In that case, it would be better to continue to act to earn trust.

“Yeah. Let’s keep helping and become a trustworthy person.”

I have a big goal and am motivated. Make a fist with both hands to increase your motivation.

“For that reason, let’s get a whole fish and let everyone eat it.”

I got up and headed for the river. Also, I have to complete one trap.

“Done!”

It took an hour to complete another enclosure trap. Seeing the two side-by-side enclosure traps fills me with a sense of fulfillment. Well, it’s a simple trap, but I’m pretty tired of making it.

All that’s left now is to scatter the worms and wait for the fish to come in, but I’m thinking of doing one thing here.

Enter the upper reaches of the trap with a long branch. From there, swing down the branch many times toward the surface of the river. After that, walk a little and hit again. This is how the fish upstream are driven downstream.

Make loud noises and move forward slowly, and make loud noises and move forward slowly. Seeing the shadows of fish in the river running away makes me happy that things are going well.

As I moved forward more and more, I finally arrived at the front of the enclosure trap.

“Whew, did I catch it?”

This moment is thrilling. When I cautiously looked at the enclosure trap, there it was! I could see that there were two of each!

“Yay, It got caught”

happy! I was so happy that I jumped on the spot. Even after being reincarnated and having a mental age of over 20 years old, I’m excited like a child because my mind is pulled by my physical age. It gets a little embarrassing.

When I regained my composure and looked inside the trap, the fish were swimming smoothly, but none of them were trying to get out of the barbs. I was a little worried, so I was relieved. But fish, good, fish.

“… you can eat one.”

It’s okay to reward yourself for your hard work. The bonfire is still there, so you can burn it and eat it. No, I’m going to eat!
