Chapter 124.1 – I Think Stalkers are Scary

—a few days later.

Night, when the floras had already finished working in the fields.

A fragrant smell filled Togen Village.

「The same is a bit distorted but it’s done!」

「Ooohhh～, donuts nyaa～!」

「Smells good nyaa!」

Two exited looking catkins were poking at the donuts.

The noses of the two of them are twitching as they drool.

It was difficult to hollow out the donuts while maintaining its round shape so they ended up looking odd but they are definitely donuts.

The donuts were made with flour from Togen Village and deep fried in a prototype fresh olive oil from Funikuri Village.

「Fresh oil, freshly fried……now, let’s see how they turn out.」

The smell of the donuts even attracted the floras and the fishers.

Since they couldn’t make a lot, they had no choice but to share it with each other.

They look curious, look at each other, and dance.

Riito has no idea about their body language but he can tell that they are very excited.

「Itadakimasu nyaa～!」

The catkin, who bit the donut, opened her eyes.

「Aaaaactzu!」

It was some kind of strange cat language.

Riito took a bite too.

There is no oily smell nor sticky texture.

It’s just—

「Hmmm, delicious……right?」

Riito tilted his head.

「S-such delicious fried food……I’ve never eaten one until now…..」

「Yeah……?」

It’s not inedible but it’s definitely much tastier than the donut thingies sold in the Guild Autonomous Region of Gartland.

「As expected, it’s lacking.」

「You consider this as lacking!?」

“Even though it tasted so good”, Adel said.

Riito nods.

「Yeah, it’s good……」

Salty things are available in that world.

Both rock salt and algae salt can be bought everywhere.

However, for sweetness, there’s only honey.

They tried using honey for the donuts this time but sweetness is just too lacking.

It’s not rich either.

「I want to make it more junky.」

Then again, “that’s” what he needs.

「……we got plenty of water now so I think it’s feasible.」

Riito thinks.

Yes. They need sugar, white sugar.

Then, what is needed is sugar cane—however, he never found the original species.

Refining sugar will have to wait a little longer……however, that will make the donuts tastier.
