Chapter 10

"It hurt. Maru."

I muttered as I hurriedly moved away from the scene.

Comments:

- Is that it...?

- Getting used to it is scary.

- I don't want to get used to that... w

- Grass

- Treatment cost 《￥100,000》

When I quickly recovered with a potion, it was miraculous. My right arm grew back, sprouting out.

At 100,000 yen per unit, being able to heal limb loss is quite a bargain.

And for some reason, even the clothes that were supposed to be torn off along with it were restored. It's truly mysterious.

"Ah, thanks for the treatment. I'll add it to the potion fund. Right now, I have nearly 100 million, but I'm looking forward to seeing how much of it will go towards potion costs."

Comments:

- Don't look forward to it.

- Don't find enjoyment in self-deprecation just because you lack entertainment. w

- 100 million is a scary amount when you think about it calmly.

- 《ARAGAMI》 Hmm, you've reached 100 million already. Why don't you check the shop? There should be new items added.

"Check the shop?"

I received new information from ARAGAMI.

It seems that the shop's items differ from person to person. According to one theory, it provides what the person desires.

I don't even think about cooking. Cooking in a crisis situation is ridiculous.

However, since I'll be using this place as a base until I defeat that wolf, improving the quality of life isn't a bad idea.

My current quality of life is trash, to put it mildly.

" Hmm, but there's no fire..."

Comments:

- There's magma, right?

- Idiot, it'll melt. w

"True. Magma should work, right? Since they specifically prepared a large pot, it must be magma-resistant."

If ARAGAMI's theory is correct, a pot that would melt in magma... well, a regular pot would melt. But I don't think they would prepare something that would melt. You can buy it with points, so it's worth a try.

With that decided, the next step was simple.

"–Heart pounding! Cooking with the world's most confusing magma!"

Comments:

- !? !?

- !? !?

- What's going on all of a sudden? www

- Starting a spontaneous project. w

- Seriously, grass

- 《ARAGAMI》 Good, go for it.

- The world's second-ranked user is giving the go-ahead, so it's fine...

- The trust from the world's second-ranked user is impressive.

Since ARAGAMI is okay with it, I'll do it.

No, it's not that I suddenly went crazy or got a fever. My exploration activities are supported by donations, so I feel like I should give back a little.

I don't like saying it out loud, but I won't.

Viewers would get bored of seeing the same scenery all the time. They'd prefer something more varied over videos of me saying, "I don't like it, I don't like it, I'm scared, I'm scared."

I don't know why I'm being so considerate in this pinch!

It's my own fault, so I can't really complain!

"Anyway, going outside is dangerous, so I'll be cooking next to Box-kun. It seems to only attack by contact."

I do think about getting my right arm back.

Comments:

- Your nerve is off the charts. www

- Cooking next to the thing that ate your right arm.

- ↑ What are you talking about?

- This even surprised Box-kun.

"No, really? It's about which is safer: an active wolf or a Box-kun that does nothing unless touched."

Box-kun is safer, right!?

If you keep your distance, you won't bump into it. Essentially, it's harmless.

Comments:

- Well, that's true.

- You got attacked because you touched it.

- It's fun to see people suffer because of their own ignorance.

- ↑ Seriously twisted, and hilarious.

"Wow, that's scary. Enjoying the sight of someone suffering is not good."

Indeed. Whether it's a person or a monster, laughing at their suffering is not good.

All life should be treated with respect.

"Anyway, I'll buy a day's worth of food and water, a large pot, and seasonings."

The large pot costs 210,000 yen... more expensive than a potion.

A day's worth of food is 5,000 yen. The water is 400 yen for a 500ml bottle. Amusement park prices, maybe?

Seasonings are 10,000 yen.

"Pretty expensive..."

Comments:

- Being able to buy food and water is a big deal.

- Considering the cost, it's not bad.

- Don't complain.

"Ah, sorry."

I don't know why, but it's annoying.

I don't want to hear it from you, who are cozy at home. It always ends up being your fault, doesn't it...?

When I bought them, as usual, various items fell from above.

The food included 150g of pork, one carrot, one bell pepper, one eggplant, one onion, a bit of curry powder, and cooked rice.

Hmm... hmm, hmm.

I pounded the floor and shouted.

"Premise for cooking...!! Without fire and cooking utensils, it's a dead end, isn't it?! Why?! This system is broken! And it's obvious they want me to make curry, damn it!!"

Considering hygiene, you can't eat anything raw except the rice, right!?

Comments:

- He's raging. w

- Of course he's angry. w

- The shop seems to want him to cook.

- Grass

- Only grass grows

- It's a summer vegetable curry, isn't it?

"Eat some summer vegetable curry to cool off a bit, huh? Shut up. Eat the magma."

...Phew, I've calmed down.

Please forgive my slightly rude tone. I couldn't hold back my anger at that...

"Maybe it's considerate to have the dish already decided? It's annoying to follow their intentions, but I'll obediently make the summer vegetable curry."

Comments:

- Let's go! Summer vegetable curry in the lower levels!

- ↑ Doesn't sound delicious

- Hey

- This cooking will probably end up in a clip.

- You're getting more and more famous!

- Because you're crazy.

I'm being trashed, but...

I know I'm not thinking normally, making a meal in the midst of despair.

Still... I want to eat curry.

I've let go of everything and I'm hungry.

"So, I'll buy another large pot... whoa."

When I bought the large pot, a metal pot fell from the sky, making a loud clanging sound.

"It's not a large pot, it's a wok. It even has a handle, how considerate."

It's the kind of wok that cooking streamers use to make fried rice. It has a handle.

The reason for the consideration to prevent burns... is it for magma cooking? I feel like there's something intentional about it.

Comments:

- That's true.

- Wok, grass.

- Well, it's versatile.

- You can make curry with it, so no problem.

Should I be happy and cheer? I feel a bit let down, but I bought the seasonings next.

Various items fell from above, including the basic seasonings and chili oil. At 10,000 yen, it might be a good deal.

They're all small bottles, but they should last if used sparingly.

"Alright, I'll buy another large pot... to use as a cutting board. I'll check its durability before preparing."

I cautiously returned to where Box-kun was.

I carefully avoided Box-kun, which was still standing there, and approached the magma.

Sweat dripped from the heat. To avoid dripping liquid into the magma, I wiped it with my sleeve... and then, the large pot

"Into the magma!"

Comments:

- How did it go...?

- Will it melt?

"–Durability check passed!"

My worries were dispelled by the pot floating intact.

It might be my first success in this terrible dungeon life.

Comments:

- Wow!!!

- You did it!!!

- Ignoring the laws of physics!

- What kind of performance does this pot have, w

"Alright, let's start cooking!"

After that, I ate a lot.

After a while, I realized I hadn't seen Yukikaze in a while.

"Is she okay?"
