Chapter 135

Random effect.

One of the rewards of the hidden quest (immigrant recruitment) cleared while immigrating the goblins to Gluttony’s dungeon previously.

Said beneficial effect randomly occurring as Gluttony’s dungeon activity increases.

‘Forgot...’

By any chance that activating now!

But even looking at the effect not well knowing what sound this.

Polygonum possessing spirituality? What spirituality?

‘Spirituality hyung?’

Briefly doing one gag and examining the planted polygonum. Sparkle revealing clearly received the effect actually visible.

“Shining!”

Ara making surprised eyes and looking at the polygonum surroundings shining green as if sprinkled glitter powder.

Kkumuri-!

Whether amazing scenery even to Mark Two hopping around the polygonum. First seeing slime jumping.

For a while looking at the polygonum shining still in place. According to Mark Two’s opinion that came out while looking fine just leaving like this and going no problem at all.

‘Convenient.’

Well thousand-year polygonum that blankly stayed in place for 1,000 years so may not have to put much effort in management.

Just to increase seeds, no polygonum have to wait for one more root branch to come out but the point hard to guess that period.

Kkumuri-.

“Fine occasionally dropping by and sprinkling this water.”

Before I knew it beside calmed Mark Two Ara crossing arms and nodding.

Come to think of it the reason planted here related deep to this lake’s water? This surrounding soil also ultimately soil made due to this lake.

“Bokkeum, can pack this water a bit?”

Lake with green light.

Don’t know what component contained so color like this but just in case have to take. Have to go out and try entrusting research once.

While Bokkeum packing the water looking around surroundings again. Distracted by the polygonum and actually not properly looked at here.

Ssssss.

Bamboo forest with white snow piled. Nevertheless bamboos not losing solid green stroking leaves in the wind and making sound.

“Good.”

Heart comfortable. Because winter a bit desolate mood but place seeming better if coming after winter ends.

“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong.”

“Um?”

“Fine eating this?”

Eating? What?

I floating question mark and briefly silent to interpret Ara’s words. In the meantime Ara running trotting and grabbing one bamboo.

“This!”

“Eating tree?”

You what panda!

But Ara able to eat anything so nothing particularly surprising. Rather when Ara asking fine eating plant looking like bamboo something suddenly coming to mind.

‘Bamboo shoot?’

If this not only appearance similar to bamboo possibility.

“Fine eating...”

“Oh!”

For now making eat the bamboo and I trying to find the bamboo shoot buried under the snow once. Removing snow on the floor and gently searching soon able to discover the desired.

“Bamboo shoot!”

“Ajak, ajak. Hm?! What bamboo shoot!”

Appearance of Ara diligently eating the tree exactly like panda. Toward such Ara gesturing Ara holding short broken bamboo in one hand and running trotting.

“Oh! What this?”

“Called bamboo shoot. See as the root of this tree.”

“Root! Sparkle sparkle tree!”

Uh, come to think of it not even thought but World Tree also possessing similar nature to bamboo. This bamboo shoot of bamboo the bamboo’s root tuberizing and rising to the ground, actually bamboo huge colony and mostly one individual.

Easily explaining even digging this bamboo shoot same meaning as harvesting only one fine root of this entire bamboo.

‘Similar feeling to the World Tree’s roots popping out to the ground and looking like trees.’

While documentary accidentally seen coming to mind Ara looking at the bamboo shoot and shouting.

“Fine eating!”

“Shall try eating once?”

“Yeah!”

Ara able to eat even raw but since eating have to eat deliciously.

Taking out camping supplies through Bokkeum who finished eating water and blankly there. Not taking out all but tools able to light fire and pot, and steamer only.

‘Next have to bring Meong meong.’

Through this 1 night 2 day schedule thought fine lighting fire with Meong meong not necessarily camping supplies. While at it wander together and play too.

“Have to make dog gum for Meong meong too...”

Receiving drinking water from Bokkeum and pouring in the pot. Soon lighting fire on the pot and putting the steamer on that.

Odok odok!

“How?”

“Delicious.”

Ara diligently chewing the bamboo shoot. Unboiled bamboo shoot hard so odok odok sound impressive. And deep scent blowing here exactly grass scent similar to green tea.

“Smell good.”

“Yeah!”

Soon putting the just harvested bamboo shoots in the prepared steamer. Have to steam roughly about 30 minutes like this.

During the waiting 30 minutes harvesting more bamboo shoots together with Ara. Ara whether that not enough even breaking several bamboos and organizing.

“This also delicious.”

“Um, bamboo steamer...”

Suddenly thought of bamboo’s utilization method.

I making Ara cut only one node of bamboo then well washing the cut bamboo tube and putting new rice.

In this state sealing the entrance with bamboo leaves and dropping in the steamer. Waiting for steaming together with the bamboo shoot.

“If glutinous rice better.”

“What glutinous rice?”

“Rice but chewy rice.”

“Oh! Chewy rice! Want to eat!”

“Let’s eat once next.”

Mark Two and Bokkeum, and even Gol gol gathered warmly and looking at the steam rising from the steamer. Simultaneously good mood smell gently blowing somehow sweet grass scent.

“Saliva gathering.”

“Tsuup.”

Ara already drooling continuously but that appearance pitiful so checking the steamer frequently. Originally not good touching before fully steamed but heart urgent.

“This degree done?”

“Ooo.”

Soft texture.

First taking out the hot bamboo shoot. And blowing hu hu and moving to the bowl.

“But this fine just eating.”

Not seasoned separately so somehow ambiguous. Didn’t think of discovering bamboo shoot in such place, of course different kind from Earth’s, so only guessed if boiling or steaming fine.

Now knowing able to dig bamboo shoot so later asking Jaeseong separately about bamboo shoot dish and first tasting.

Smell really good.

Fragrant grass scent, exactly similar to deep green tea’s feeling but strictly not green tea scent. Sweet yet simultaneously the refreshing of deep phytoncide felt scent.

Well peeling the bamboo shoot’s skin and handing one each to the kids. With this amount insufficient but for now preparing steam once more and during that time deciding to taste.

“Will eat well!”

“Will eat well.”

Greeting following Ara and biting the hot bamboo shoot with heat not yet subsided in mouth.

Seogeok.

Subtle texture. Hard seeming yet extremely soft. Exactly feeling of chewing very well cooked vegetable.

‘No. More ambiguously softer than that.’

If necessarily distinguishing texture belonging to the middle of mushroom and vegetable or so. But that again extremely charm.

Taste sweet. Not sweetness like sugar but sweetness feelable from carrot or onion etc. But that again not strong and approaching with faint feeling.

“Um.”

The more chewing juice spurting and scent rising. Texture also texture but this fragrant flavor extremely addictively approaching.

“End!”

“Uh? Really? Already all ate.”

Ara appetite good so understanding but the one in my hand also before I knew it disappeared. This subtle texture and good mood flavor making eat smoothly without knowing.

Really feeling subtle, almost no taste remaining on the tongue yet seeming able to eat without getting tired.

“Should have brought large capacity steamer.”

Didn’t think of doing steam dish so all large capacity cooking tools left in the village. Since became so here just taste and take and eat a lot.

“Then, this time bamboo steamed rice.”

This a bit ambiguous compared to our kids’ appetite too small amount only able to put in the steamer. Cut the bamboo tube to one node size and put so the rice amount entering also exactly that degree.

Ultimately this time also unable but to prepare only degree to taste for Ara or slimes.

“Rice!”

Ara looking at the taken out bamboo tube with expecting eyes. Soon opening the lid part wrapped with bamboo leaves fragrant scent vibrating.

“Um, this really smell good.”

Fine even splitting this bamboo and making finger size and carrying as air freshener.

“Aam!”

“Uh, at once?”

While briefly thinking other Ara putting the rice in the tube in mouth at once. And the soft cheeks chewing.

“Uuum! Uuuuum!”

“Fine talking after eating all.”

I preparing the slimes’ rice remaining and taking out my share. Amazing scent like this able to come from rice.

“Delicious!”

“Oh, yes? Expecting.”

Listening to Ara’s words and taking out the rice and eating like rice ball. Because steamed rice well clumped so taking out as is and biting one mouthful the scent felt from the bamboo shoot felt more deeply from the rice.

“Huwa.”

Refreshing feeling entering and breath naturally blowing. Soon biting one more mouthful something regret felt.

“Have to season a bit.”

“Season?!”

What misunderstanding Ara making surprised expression and flinching, I taking out salt from Bokkeum and sprinkling a bit on the rice ball.

Bamboo shoot sweetness ambiguously felt so the feeling bland less but this instead of deep scent no taste.

“Oh! Much better! No, really delicious. Ara, eat.”

Indeed delicious have to give to Ara.

Ara carefully looking at the rice ball I held out tilting head.

“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong’s!”

“Fine making and eating more later.”

“Yeah!”

The heart thinking of me too cutely felt. Soon Ara putting the rice ball in mouth with the momentum of even eating my hand and chewing with happy expression.

“Uuum! Uum!”

“Delicious?”

“Um!”

Delicious so fortunate.

Later have to think a bit more and devise method of making bamboo steamed rice in large capacity.

Like that having brief snack time then, we leaving the thousand-year polygonum behind and returning. Digging more bamboo shoots and bamboo extra.

“Really came far.”

When going continuously new scenery and terrain appearing so in surprised and amazing heart unable to feel well but the fact came extremely far than thought felt while returning.

-Chirp!

“Oh! Chirp chirp!”

“Long time.”

Chirp chirp seen after a long time flying from far and circling above our head. Looking at the direction flew from south from here.

South again unknown land so slightly curious what Chirp chirp saw and came.

-Chirp chirp.

Chirp chirp lightly sitting on Ara’s shoulder. And Ara carefully scratching such Chirp chirp’s beak visible.

“Oh, so?”

Before I knew it looking at the appearance conversing with Chirp chirp and intending to ask what story when Ara saying first.

“Great Lord Lord came!”

“Great Lord Lord? Who?”

“Both came! Lee Seona Seona also came!”

Before I knew it Chirp chirp seeming reported. By any chance what came up from the south looking for us?

Father probably came because of construction, mother just came together.

Thinking yesterday just Friday. So Seona crying face saying unable to come but as soon as weekend came.

“Ara.”

“Yeah!”

Knowing Seona came something coming to mind.

If possible important asking Ara’s intention.

“By any chance interested in actor?”
