Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill (2023): Season 1, Episode 4 - Cannot Start the Journey Without a Map - full transcript

I didn't know that grilled
cockatrice could be so good.

The trick is to cook them slowly starting
with the skin, so they get crispy.

Lemon butter sauce
with a bit of soy sauce is my favorite.

It's lighter in flavor than rockbird,
but it's still delicious.

It's like the difference
between chicken and duck.

Both are good in their own way.

I should catch another rockbird again.

Fel, by the way,
do you use magic to hunt monsters?

Yeah.

I also use my claws and fangs,

but attacking a bunch of small fry at once
using magic is more efficient.



I see.

I'm good at using wind magic,
thanks to the blessing of Goddess Ninrir.

It's the first time I've seen real magic!

You know the protection barrier
I put on you is magic too, right?

Well, I don't actually feel
anything from that.

I wonder if I can use magic too.

Everyone can as long as they have mana.

Mana...

So I actually have magic. How do I use it?

How? You use it by thinking about it.

Like I said...

If you want to use wind magic,
you can use it by thinking about it.

The same thing applies
if you want to use fire magic.

Is that how geniuses think?



I shouldn't have asked him.

So I have to think about it?

Does that mean I must
create a mental image of it?

If it's fire magic, then... Fireball...

This is it!

Fireball!

What do you think you're doing?

This is so embarrassing!

You can't cast if you don't
circulate the flow of mana.

What do you mean?

It's hard to explain it using just words.

Sense the flow of mana circulating
around my body, then feel it inside you.

I can feel something warm.

Do you understand?

A bit.

If so, then it's time for your training.

All right, let's do it!

Campfire Cooking in Another World
with My Absurd Skill

I can do it! For sure!

Episode 4:
"Cannot Start the Journey Without a Map"

Fireball!

That was weak!

For you to be this bad...

What the heck?

It's no surprise you're progressing slowly
with such mediocre training.

You need battle experience.

You mean fighting against monsters?

I can't even use a sword.

There's no way I can fight them.

You'll never know unless you try.

But I don't want to get hurt.

A few minor injuries
is part of the process.

It's painful and scary.

Let's just go and do it!

Hey, wait! I told you, no freaking way!

Goblins would be a perfect target.

Throw a fireball at them.

What?

What are you saying? It's impossible.

It's all right, just shoot.

I'm fine if there's only one,
but there are so many of them there!

What a coward.

If you're still hesitating,
then I'll do it.

They noticed us!

Now you have no choice but to fight.

Cast the spell
and your body will get used to it.

I will deal with the higher level goblins.

Hey, don't just leave me alone!

You're heartless!

Take this! Fireball!

Fireball!

Good, it's working!

Now all I need to do is to keep
my distance and keep attacking.

I'm so dead.

Barrier magic! I'm saved!

With this, I will be safe...

Not at all!

Anyway, I have to shoot them!

Fireball!

Fireball!

Fireball!

I did it. That was my ideal...

Fireball...

I can't muster any more strength.

There are still so many goblins.

You can do it if you try, can't you?

Fel... I leave the rest to you.

Goblins!

You're finally awake.

How was the actual fight?

It was a valuable experience, right?

How can you say that
after what you put me through?

I might have nightmares
from that experience!

What are you talking about?

That last fireball was really good.

Thanks to me,
you're now able to use magic.

Now you're bragging about yourself.

I'm a beginner, don't you know?

We should've started
with one or two goblins.

But you suddenly brought me
a whole village.

Your slow progress is your own fault
with such a low level magic spell.

You...

It looks like you've leveled up.

Seriously?

My status has increased,
and I also now have fire magic.

Let's celebrate with this.

A huge goblin!

This goblin king has a magic stone.

Even though goblins are inedible
and of no use to us,

I went to the trouble
of bringing this to you.

A magic stone?

I'd completely forgotten about them.

At my level, I can easily spot
monsters using magic stones.

That's amazing.

A magic stone can be sold
for money, right?

That's true.

If so, should you not reward me
with food from another world?

Like that Wagyu beef from back then...

Like that Wagyu from back then!

We still have money and meat left
from the last sale last time,

so there won't be
treats like that for a while!

Especially no Wagyu! Never!

I shall give that up for today.

However, I am hungry now.

Yeah, yeah.

I shouldn't have let you
taste such luxury.

Why are you acting so foolishly?

That's not it.

Why am I so tired?

Is it because I'm out of mana?

I will take a break from cooking today.

When you're tired,

you have to eat something sweet!

It smells weird... This isn't meat?

I want meat.

Are you asking me to prepare food
when I'm this exhausted?

Melon bread with butter, okay?

The sugar is sinking in.

It's pretty good.

The beans are sweetened, right?

It's my first time eating this,
and it's not bad.

This tastes like thickened milk.

There's a rich sweetness
with a hint of bitterness.

They are so good!

I want more!

I guess you like sweets too, yeah?

But eating too many sweets can
cause diabetes or tooth decay.

Then you won't be able
to eat meat anymore.

I don't have to worry about getting sick.

You have a lot of confidence.

It's not confidence, rather truth.

I have the blessing
of Ninrir the Wind Goddess.

A blessing?

Thanks to her, I'm immune
to poison, diseases, and all ailments.

Is that so?

So, being good at wind magic is because...

I was born with the innate ability,
of course.

But with Ninrir's help,
I've been able to use it even better.

Although it's not very easy
to receive such a blessing.

Of course it isn't!

It sounds like cheating!

And you're already so strong,
even without the blessing.

Aren't I the one
who truly needs a blessing?

Please, Gods! Somebody!

Give me your blessings!

There's a monster!

It's a wolf monster!

Stay where you are!

It's just a misunderstanding.

This is just my familiar.

Familiar, you say?

Look at this!

My guild card.

So it really is your familiar.

Is it a great wolf?

It's impressive for an E-rank adventurer
like you to possess an A-rank familiar.

Hey...

I was really lucky.

It'll be easier for us
if they have the wrong idea.

We'll just go with that.

I am not a great wolf.

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

Well, no wonder there's a ruckus
since it's a great wolf.

Be careful when you visit other cities.

Yes, I understand.

Like I said, I'm not a great wolf.

This is telepathy.

I can use it
to communicate with the person

I sign the familiar contract with.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

There was no need until now.

Were you trying to be considerate of me?

What's the matter? Are you listening?

Sorry, what was it again?

As its owner, if it causes any problems,
you'll be held responsible.

Depending on what happens,
you can be sentenced to death or slavery.

So be careful.

This world is so scary.

I understand.

This city is so big.

Maybe I can buy it here.

Buy what?

A map.

We can't just keep wandering
without direction, can we?

ELMIRA'S INN

I will look and find one.
Wait for me here.

Where are you going?
And when will you come back?

I will return once I find a map.

What if you don't find it today?

I will return in the evening.

Don't ask me for every detail.
You're acting like a possessive boyfriend.

I don't know what that means,
but I know you're making fun of me.

Anyway, just stay calm, okay?

Where's the map section?

This is...

BASIC MAGIC FOR EVERYONE

I want this.

Excuse me, how much is this?

Seven gold coins.

That's expensive!

It's a rare book made of paper,
so it's a highly valuable item.

Of course it's expensive.

So paper is a highly valuable item here?

By the way, do you have a world map here?

That kind of thing isn't sold
in book stores, don't you know?

That's a state secret.

Makes sense.

It's not like I will use it for war,
it's just for general use.

Right!
A city this big should have a library.

Maybe I can get a little info.

It's closing time.

That didn't help at all.

Even though I paid two silver coins
for the entrance fee!

You are late.

Sorry.

I'm hungry. Really, really hungry.

I'll cook something for you soon,
so don't be angry.

When is "soon?"

Fel is getting annoying again.

I have no choice.

READY-MADE FOOD

What is that?

Yakitori and pork cutlet.

In this world, it's like grilled skewers
of rockbird or cockatrice.

This one's like breaded and fried cutlets
of red boar or orc.

There are two kinds of sauce here:
sweet and salty.

This is delicious.

There are different kinds of meat,
so enjoy the different flavors.

There is a great variety here,

from light, crispy and crunchy
to squishy and juicy.

How about the pork cutlet?

The taste is similar to the ground
meat cutlet I had the other day.

But is it just a single piece of meat?

Simply fried is good, but I love this
combination of the batter and the meat.

I'm glad to hear that.

As long as it makes you happy.

Dip the pork loin cutlet in sauce,

then cover it with rice.

Like this, the cooled cutlet
will be warmed.

And the sauce will mix with the rice.

A little patience for a great reward!

Delicious!

The winning trio of white rice,
sauce, and pork loin cutlet!

That looks delicious.

You want more to eat?

I don't really want to feed you
too much food from Online Grocery.

It's not enough!

Shut up!

Don't be selfish!

Is that what you think?

What the hell is wrong with you?

A tavern?

TAVERN

You must be lying!

It's a bit scary, but...

Excuse me, I'd like to ask you something.
Is that okay?

Who the hell are you?

Excuse me.
Can we have another round, please?

Sure!

You sure do know how things work!

If it's your treat,
then it's fine with us.

So, what do you want to know?

Well, I'm a traveling merchant.

But since I'm new,
I'm still inexperienced.

So I want to gather some information

from experienced adventurers like you
about what kind of country this is.

That's easy.

You've come to the right place.

I'm from the Kingdom of Reijseger,

and this is my first time visiting
the Kingdom of Veenan.

Reijseger?

Ever since the new king took over,
that country's became bad news.

They won't stop
their territorial expansion,

and wage wars all over the place.

The political situation
is calmer in the east,

in the Kingdoms of Erman and Leonhardt.

Plus, both countries
have a lot of dungeons.

As an adventurer, that's a good thing.

I see.

Here it is, the dungeon.

I'm curious, but I would never enter one.

You have to treasure your life.

Either way, I still need a map.

You don't have one with you?

Isn't that dangerous?

Right, I've been looking for one,
but I still haven't found one yet.

Even a rough one would help.

Actually, let me tell you a secret.
We have a map.

Really?

An old adventurer we knew gave me this.

Right when he retired.

It's precious.

But if you want it,
I will give this to you.

We have already memorized it.

It's a map made of precious paper,

but we owe you a favor
for buying us drinks.

I'll give you this for one gold coin.

If you let this chance pass you by,

you never know
when you'll get another one.

That's our advice as adventurers.

All right.

It's a deal.

Be careful out there.

Hope to see you again.

Thank you so much!

You guys, stop laughing. That is so mean.

Do you have a problem with me?

Sorry, it's just about
that map you bought.

Yeah?

It's this, right?

You can buy this at the Adventurer's Guild
for one silver coin.

They tricked me.

What are you talking about?

The one who was tricked is at fault.

I can't deny that.

So that's what it means to be shrewd.

My one gold coin...

You can earn money again.

You have a point.

I'd like to go east,

and it looks like it's right by the ocean
according to the map.

If it's the ocean, sea serpents
and kraken are delicious too.

Don't treat them as seafood so casually.

Well, good or bad,
this is still a journey in another world.

ANOTHER WORLD THEATER: SECOND SERVING

I'm so full!

Having dinner outside like this
makes me feel like we're camping.

Do you always eat fish
whenever you go camping?

I don't think so.

This is Mukouda!

Fel always asks for meat,
so I cook meat every day.

How can he not get tired of it?

Next episode:
"The Goddess of Wind Has a Sweet Tooth."

I'll grill some fish, too!
