Level Up Just By Eating - Chapter 84

Chapter 84

Since we’ve decided that Laura’s gonna test the food, let’s grab a jellyfish for her .

　Lolona, Femille, can you lend me a hand?」

「Umu . 」

「Yes!」

「And Marine, please hold onto Laura so she can’t run away . 」

(Nod!)

　Marine started hugging Laura . If she starts running now, she’ll be dragging the little girl with her .

　I’m sure Laura isn’t the kind to do that .

　We approached the jellyfishes .

　We went in without any countermeasures .

(！)

　The jellyfish noticed us . It turns its tentacles towards me and releases some transparent thing .

　I lightly dodged it, and sharp needles were stabbed on where I was standing just now .

「Judging by this kind of timing, the needle is most likely poisonous . 」

　Gonna pick those later .

　Thinking about it, the jellyfish moves its tentacles .

「It’s not that quick . 」

　I cut the tentacles with my sword .

「If Keima-dono can do it, I can do it as well . 」

　Lolona who was surrounded by 5 to 6 jellyfishes, easily sliced them up .

「Fireball! Fireball! Fire–… . . Hieeee～～～～～～～～～～!」

　On the other hand, Femille had a difficult time .

　The jellyfish spits water whenever the fire comes close, then moves away from her .

　Then a different jellyfish approaches her and tries to grab her .

「Fireball! Firebarll～～～～～!!」

　Femille was desperately trying to defend herself, but the countless jellyfish had a hit and run formation .

「Fireball! Ice needle! Fireba-all!~~~~~~~! ! !」

　Since fireball wasn’t working, she tried using ice needle, but that didn’t work either .

「Ho!」

　I threw a rock I picked up from the ground .

　Splash! !

　The rock pierced right through the centre of the jellyfish, and it evaporated into thin air .

　The jellyfish has been killed .

「Thank you… . pyon . 」

「Don’t mind . I just wanted to know how strong the jellyfish were . 」

　Though no matter how much we killed, the numbers didn’t decrease .

　As high as the sky can reach, the jellyfishes were floating around like balloons .

　Some were normally floating around the rooftop as well .

　What’s more, it’s being mass produce by polyp .

「It might be around two to three thousand of them . 」

　Either way .

　I gathered the defeated jellyfish to where Laura is .

「Here you go . It’s time for our fun and enjoying eating time . 」

「Fueeeen……」

「Ugh, it looks bloody disgusting . 」

「Can’t you at least lie to me and say it looks delicious?!」

　I placed the transparent jellyfish on top of the chopping board which I’ve prepared .

　It’s around the size of a volleyball .

　I chose a somewhat small size for her first meal .

「I’ll at least choose one that doesn’t look poisonous . 」

「Don’t suddenly choose one that has poison and be like, okay this looks good for me!!」

「A wonderful retort as ever . 」

　I praised her, and judged the jellyfish .

　Remove the tentacles, and separate the umbrella part .

「It seems like the umbrella part looks edible . 」

　I chopped the umbrella in eight .

　Water came……leaking out .

　This springiness reminds me of Nata de Coco .

「It feels like the taste would change depending on the ingredients used……」

　Using the spoon Lolona gave me, I scoop the jellyfish .

「There’s――no poison . 」

　Then I feed it to Laura .

「Aaah, open your mouth wide . 」

「Fueeen . ……」

　Laura’s tears flowed while opening her mouth .

　I fed the transparent jellyfish to her .

(Chew, chew, chew . )

　Laura’s mouth began moving .

「How is it?」

「Fueee～～～～～～～～n . 」

「Was it bad?」

「There’s no taste, and it’s so gummy……So bitter～～～～～～～～」

「I see . 」

　I tried eating it .

　It’s just as she described .

　Bland and gummy-like .

　However, there’s no particular bitterness to it .

　What does this mean?

　I looked at another intact jellyfish .

　Except for the tentacles, I carefully observed the umbrella part .

　A lumpy object was found within the umbrella .

　It’s about the size of a ping pong ball .

　It was bitter when I licked it .

「Seems like this ball is producing that bitterness . 」

　This is good news .

　I threw away the bitter ball and fed Laura once more .

「There’s no taste and it’s chewy……but at least it’s not bitter……」

　That’s good news .

　I ate the tasteless jellyfish again .

　Terere, te te te . ~

　I leveled up .

　Looking at my status, seems like I leveled up by one .

　But I learned a skill .

　Learned skill .

　Floaty

　◆Skill explanation of・Floaty .

　Like a balloon, the user will be able to float in the air .

　Reading the description, it doesn’t seem half-bad .

　However, there’s a comment attached beneath the description .

　※While using『Floaty』skill, the user may not move around freely .

The wind will drift you around .

　Another shit skill .

　I cut the rest of the jellyfish and fed it to Laura .

　A shiitake shaped jellyfish, a red and white polka dots jellyfish .

　After letting her eat the umbrella part, I fed her the tentacles as well .

　All while using Lolona’s spoon, it seems like all of them are non poison .

「Fuee～～～n, Biittteeer～～～～～」

「My tongue is numb～～～～～～～～～～～～～」

「Disgusting～～～～～～～～～～～～～」

　Various evaluations were given .

　I tried some of the horrible one which Laura said .

　She’s right, this is shit .

　But in terms of taste……

(It might depend on the recipe……?)

　Carrots and radishes are bad if eaten raw .

　Should we try something else?

「Earth magic . 」

　I made a claypot using earth magic .

　Then I made a kamado joe, baked it like a pizza and put the shiitake-like jellyfish inside .

After it started grilling .

The Kamado joe is filled with heat like a microwave oven .

Next, I put jellyfish that did not look like shiitake into a bowl of sugar .

「This looks like a watery Nata de Coco .

　If we soak it with sugar, it might actually taste good . 」

　Next is the red and white polka dots, a bitter jellyfish .

「There’s slight poison in them, and I can’t think of any ways to cook them……

　I guess I can just boil them in salt water, then bake them?」

　Hope it works .

　If it doesn’t, everything I’ve done would’ve been fruitless .

　My plan in mind has a 20 to 30% chance of making it delicious .

　Let’s see how the odds would turn out to be――

　Time to show off my skills .

　Fufufu .
