015 Orange & Idol Project (Additional 1)
#1
After the fishing tournament, today's dinner naturally turned into a fish-based barbecue meeting.
On the shores of the lake in the evening, people form large and small circles to enjoy the fruits of the day's labor. And even I, who didn't do anything, was pulled over and enjoyed the cooking skills of the master chefs in the guild. However, in fact, even the "cooking" skills used in cooking are systematically assisted, but individual techniques do have an impact on the taste. I don't know exactly what to do, but I've only heard about it, and the group of players who have worked hard to practice their cooking skills should have more experience in this area.
But I can't...... After all, during the months I lived in the church, my food was probably bread and potatoes. Occasionally, if I wanted to open meat or something, I would go to the nearby woods to catch some rabbits, wild deer, etc. - and the rest of the town would help with them.
By the way, don't look at the priest's offensive spells in terms of attack power and side effects, but the "spiritual-based" characteristics are very advantageous in terms of hunting. It is guaranteed that there will be no strange phenomena such as frost damage, scorching, corrosion, contamination, and shattering due to excessive impact, and the meat is guaranteed to be fresh...... Aside from Lisa's occasional statement that she couldn't accept that the Light was being used by me to bully critters, there were few drawbacks.
All in all, dinner was pretty good. Antun also took the opportunity to announce his decision to postpone the next opening time, and by the way, I was officially introduced to everyone. Although in fact, almost everyone already knows me, and even the people in the other guilds in this camp know me. I guess in their eyes that I'm a weirdo to spread the Light.
The dinner soon entered the part of chatting and playing together, because I was a little uncomfortable with such an atmosphere, I quietly left alone and walked to the other side of the forest.
The night had quietly deepened, but as a priest and half-mage, it was still very convenient to use magic to create a light group. I sat down on the edge of a tree, surrounded by the balls of light, and took out my borrowed book The Secret of the Soul and continued reading.
Seriously, the book is indeed thick and difficult to understand, and the magic arrays used to demonstrate and record detailed information in it are simple imitations rather than genuine products that have been burned by inscription skills, and even if I am confident that I have a lot of basic knowledge of magic, I still have to skip it or memorize it in many places. Fortunately, after crossing into this world, my memory is much higher than before, and even in this state, I still remember a lot of things.
This book explains not only how priests view spirits and souls, but also the views of bards, mystics, and even necromancers. This kind of thing is relatively rare in the world, where the publishing industry has initially gained a little scale.
Still, there's a lot to dig into.
Or just stay up for a while today and read this book directly, and then use the inscription in the system skill to transcribe a copy in the next few days?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the sound of soft footsteps in front of me.
"Good evening, Miss Reverend."
This voice is none other than Vanessa, a friend of Orange who I met by chance during the day and a hunter player who can play the magic harp. I looked up, and the orb of light summoned by magic around me rose slightly, and by the bright but gentle light of the holy light, I saw the girl with short silver hair, and a little cold and heroic between her eyebrows.
"Good evening."
I clipped the bookmark, called the system function, and put the book back in my backpack. Adjusted the position of the light balls, and then patted the grass next to him: "Come and sit down?" It's pretty clean here. β
"Also, stop calling me Miss Pastor or anything, just 'Kolotia'. To be honest, even for me, it still feels a little unnatural to be called that. β
"It's because that's the impression you've given us, and we've been trying to preach since we came." The silver-haired girl sat down next to me as she spoke, and said, "You really look like a missionary pastor." β
"Actually, it's not like that at all," I quickly shook my head in response, "I just said that you need to take this seriously for the time being, so that future copies can be cleared." It's not about preaching or anything, in fact I don't have much faith in the Light. I tried to explain myself, but I felt a little inappropriate and asked, "Do you feel a little offended?" If so, I'll try to talk about these things as little as possible, anyway, the three regular meditation techniques every day should be enough. β
"It's not boring, everyone thinks it's funny."
"That's fine."
When I heard her answer, I was relieved. My goal is to make the main team members of Traveler's Tears as relaxed as possible, and if my actions are annoying, I might as well not do it. As for "interesting"...... Well, I won't pursue this word.
For some reason, the atmosphere was a little chilly for a while. When I was thinking about whether or not to pick a topic, she took the initiative to speak: "Kolotia, what do you think of oranges?" β
"How...... I didn't understand what she meant, but I replied anyway: "Oranges are funny people, very cute and lively...... Right? β
It's just a little perverted...... Of course, I wouldn't say that.
"She wasn't like that? To be honest, the sudden appearance of this has only recently begun. Vanessa's tone became a little heavier: "Everyone is revealing their real-life gender to each other. Normally, there's no need to do her kind of Cheng dΓΉ, right? β¦β¦ I don't know if you can feel it, but she's not as happy as she is now. β
"...... "I don't know what to say, although I vaguely feel that normal people are probably not cute enough to be this kind of Cheng dΓΉ, but I don't feel that there is anything wrong." After all, the oranges I saw looked and behaved like that from the beginning, albeit a little inconsistent, but acceptable.
"Kolotia, I actually want to ask you for help with something, I don't know if I can ......"
