Chapter 26: Caramel-flavored creamy fruit cake

Some grass-type Pokémon are very special.

They don't need food and can survive with sunlight, soil and clean water.

Mini Fu is one of them.

When it is bathed in sunlight, it converts the nutrients produced by photosynthesis into oil in the body, which is stored in the fruit of the head, and can be eaten or drunk for a week.

Looking at Mini Fu's lazy expression, Naoki also sat at the desk.

Looking back, Loton stood there looking at him with a bright face.

Perhaps tired from fluttering butterflies outside, the motorcycle lizard was lying on the wooden floor yawning.

In the cupboard, the frost fairy looked at the new home with satisfaction.

On the windowsill, Mini Fu lazily basks in the sun and blows the wind.

Under the eaves outside, the iron chrysalis evolved from the green caterpillar is working hard to grow, waiting for that day to come.

In the new chicken hutch, the hens cooed and walked around.

Under the soft soil, crops that give people hope are thriving.

In the cave at the back of the house, the mycelium of the mushroom is germinating, and it is believed that it will not take a few days to grow into a delicious and tender mushroom.

Compared to when Naoki first came here, the entire ranch seems to have changed a lot.

Is...... It's getting more and more lively!

Naoki's heart felt a sense of satisfaction that he had never felt before.

He took out the ledger and recorded today's income and expenditure in detail.

Spring 198, January 14.

Revenue:

Expenditures: Chicken Coop Completion, Wooden Fence, Purchase of Hen × 3, Rooster × 1, Frost Milk Fairy × 1, Mini Fu × 1,-32200

Remaining funds: 4300

Looking at the names of Frost Milk Fairy and Mini Fu in the ledger, Naoki suddenly realized something.

Actually, some Pokémon don't have to be purchased from the ranch in town.

The rancher is not a trainer and has little combat ability.

Wild Pokémon such as Salt Stone Djinns, Buzzing Bats, and Big Milk Jars are basically impossible for these ordinary ranchers to catch, and even if they do, it will take time to train them to work on the ranch.

Compared to wild Pokémon, most of the Pokémon that have been artificially bred are very docile, do not attack people, and will also actively cooperate with the rancher to work.

Therefore, the most convenient thing for them is to buy directly through the specially raised pasture.

But it's not the same for Naoki.

He turned his head and glanced at him.

Therefore, Loton is also a legendary Pokémon, which is known as the great existence of the Wing King, and its combat power should far exceed that of ordinary Pokémon.

With Leton here, Naoki was able to do things that ordinary ranchers couldn't do, and directly collected Pokémon from the wild and brought them back to the ranch.

It's decided, I'll go to Cauldron Lake tomorrow to investigate the Pokémon ecology there!

See if there are any Pokémon that are suitable for raising in the ranch.

————

It was getting late outside, and the whole ranch was shrouded in dusk.

Naoki takes Soleton and the motorcycle lizard around the field to check on the crops.

Half a month has passed, and turnips, a fast-growing crop, have successfully grown leaves, and the clusters are neatly arranged in the lattice farmland, which looks very pleasing to the eye.

"It's okay, it's just a few weeds, no bugs."

After pulling out the weeds, Naoki looked up at the sky, and seeing that it was not early, he took Oldton and the motorcycle lizard back to the house and began to prepare dinner.

Seeing his movements, the Frost Fairy in the cupboard immediately jumped out of the cupboard and came to the stove, looking not afraid of fire at all.

Naoki raised his eyebrows, and when he saw Frost Milk Fairy's actions, he guessed, "You want to prepare dinner with me?" ”

"Mama!"

The Frost Milk Fairy nodded happily.

Naoki looked down at the ingredients laid out in front of him, including eggs, tree fruits, smoked sausages, toast slices, raw meat steaks, and noodles.

They can be used to make tonkatsu, steamed eggs, sandwiches, clear soup noodles.

To celebrate the arrival of Frost Milk Fairy and Mini Fu, Naoki plans to cook a few more dishes tonight.

Now that he heard Frost Fairy's words, he began to think about what kind of dishes the cream could be used for.

The Frost Fairy is known to be able to generate whipped cream from his hands, and he will give his own fruit decorated with whipped cream to his trusted trainers.

The happier the Frost Milk Fairy feels, the more fragrant the whipped cream it makes.

Because the dessert framed with this whipped cream is extremely delicious, it is the dream of every pastry chef to make the frost fairy a companion.

Cream......

Naoki looked at the toast slices and tree fruit in the bag, and suddenly thought of a good idea.

Creamy Fruit Cake!

Although he doesn't have an oven or whisk yet, he can use toast slices as a cake base, and he can make a simple fruit cake by spreading a layer of whipped cream on top and adding a few tree fruits.

"In that case, let's prepare together!"

Naoki stacks several pieces of toast on top of each other, sharpens them into circles with a kitchen knife, and places them in front of Frost Milk Fairy.

"Spread this cake crust with your cream!" Naoki Road.

The clever Frost Fairy immediately understood what he meant.

It stretched out its hand, and a steady stream of whipped cream poured out of it and spread it on the cake crust made of toast.

When it was almost over, Naoki called a stop, smoothed the cream with a knife, and then cut the fruit into small pieces and placed it on top.

The result is a caramel-flavored, creamy fruitcake.

Naoki looked down, and the cake message also emerged.

[Cream Fruit Cake (Caramel Flavor) (D-): A dessert of average quality, a fruit cake made with the hand-beaten cream of the Frosted Milk Fairy, if you use a normal cake base, it may be of a higher grade.

Hey?

The effect of making Pokémon dream?

Naoki was a little surprised, he thought that the effect would be to restore his strength.

But then again, dreaming seems to be the ability of Cresalia, the god of dreams?

Naoki pondered slightly.

Successfully helped Naoki make a cake, and Frost Milk Fairy looked very happy.

Naoki couldn't help but smile, "Wait a little longer, I'll make a few more dishes." ”

"Mama?"

Hearing this, the frost milk fairy immediately raised her hand and asked if she still wanted cream?

"Not for now." Naoki shook his head: "Let's make desserts together next time!" ”

"Mama~"

The frost fairy happily agreed.

Naoki also began to prepare the rest of the dishes.

Pork cutlets, consommé noodles, steamed eggs, sandwiches, and finally a few cups of tree juice.

For the first three dishes, Naoki specially added pure rock salt given to him by the old man of Happy Ranch.

Sure enough, when these dishes are completed, an additional effect [Stamina Regeneration] is added to the back.

Naoki had already made pork cutlets and consommé noodles before, but steamed eggs were his first dish.

The steamed egg wash has a slightly yellowish color, dotted with a cluster of green shallots, and finally poured a drop of sesame oil, which shimmers in the light, and the steamed egg in the bowl will shake gently with the movement, like a pudding.

[Steamed Egg (B+): A mediocre quality dish with the addition of pure rock salt, which gives it an extra magical effect.]
