Reincarnated in the game world ~ A gamer's beginning to [Dungeon job hunting recommendation]

"Zephyr, this, I want to eat this at night!"

"Oh? A high-quality meat."

"Then, this too."

It was evening.

Everyone was done with their boss' run, and now, an air of laid-backness was hovering above.

Everyone has made significant advances in harvesting around, and thanks to that, we have surplus of luxurious ingredients at our hand to use.

As the sun was about to set, we eventually decided to rest our exploration, harvest and boss run. We set-up our tent in the safety area of the lower floors and shifted to have a lavish dinner.

However, there was a big problem. A very big problem.

We have so many high-grade ingredients that it was getting harder to choose a single one.

It was Lana and Karua, who hardly brood over their choices, passed a helping hand to me, which led to the current situation.

I lined-up <Mogyu's Beef Chuck> that both of them had chosen. Ah, what a tempting sight. I couldn't wait to drip them with Hannah's special sauce and grill them.

"So we're going to have barbecue for dinner as well, Zephyr? I want to eat curry."

"You just choose meat copying Lana, huh?"

Karua looked at me with 'was it so?' look.

I had already informed before, but I guess she just forgot. What a forgetful girl, aye.

I explained to her once again.

"<Ultra Curry Tool> is already at work. You will have hot, delicious curry ready in just another 10 minutes. We are currently choosing meat for the BBQ."

"Oh. Great."

Karua's eyes shone with an unprecedented shine at my reply.

Actually, our dinner was supposed to be only BBQ just like lunch, but we got lucky and obtained a high-grade curry making tool from the treasure chest, so we decided to add curry to the menu at the last minute.

Curry always sounds good in moments like this!

Alas, curry's take too long to prepare, alongside the hefty preparation. So I had originally skipped it from the menu since we have a limited amount of time to use this extra dungeon.

Though, of course it wasn't a problem with the curry making tool drop.

High-grade automatic curry making tool is an amazing item, we don't need to have a cooking related job to operate it, it can make large amounts of curry easily, and the prepared curry also comes with buff. You can just put the ingredients in, and it will do the rest. You don't even need to peel the vegetables.

You wouldn't even notice when the vegetables are peeled and chopped into bite-sized pieces and you will have thoroughly simmered delicious curry ready in just 15 minutes. (Though I don't know where those peels went)

I just have to cook rice only.

In the game, however, there was a skip option. Though, it's impossible in reality, and you can only wait for it to be cooked. Not to say, waiting for curry to be prepared with everyone is fun.

All the ingredients used were something anyone could obtain from this dungeon, including curry powder, and all of them were high-grade ingredients from this 10th floor. The meat of choice was the superb beef chuck that <Boss Mogyu> dropped.

Now, all that was left was to wait for it to be ready. I couldn't help but feel excited. I wonder how delicious it will be?

"Now that you get it, wait for curry to be cooked."

"Yes sir, I've firmly etched it into my memory."

Karua nodded with an attentive look, which was rare for her, when I explained so. Indeed, a glutton she is, huh.

"It smells so great. I can feel my stomach rumbling in excitement."

Lana chimed in with a smile at the wafting aroma of BBQ and curry.

"I'm almost done grilling the vegetables as well. Please wait just a few minutes."

So said Ester, holding tongs on one hand and grilling vegetables on one of the three BBQ grills. Shizu and Celestine are handling the grilling of vegetables and meat on the remaining two.

Aside from them, Hannah is in charge of <Beef Chuck>. She's using the <Meat Blaster> we had obtained from the <Gold Chest> earlier to grill it.

"But I can't wait for so long. Isn't there something that can be whipped super quick?"

"Unfortunately, there's no skip function. Skill can make it happen but we don't have any members with cooking skill, so wait for the dishes to be ready."

"What do you mean by skip function?"

"Nothing, don't mind it.

On this note, there are items that can dish out dishes instantly, but it's on the assumption that the person has a job related to <Cook> etc, which we don't have. All we can do without skip function is just wait.

Just then, the door to the boss's room opened. Five people, who were challenging the boss, stepped out of the room.

"Here's your item back, Zephyr, Thanks for the <Flute>."

So said Sierra, representing the group.

I received and stored away the flute. I guess it's time to take it to recover, flute count has dropped.

Then Lulu, Celia, Pamela and Rika appeared in succession.

They had gone to challenge the rare boss with a healer-less party, and judging from their expression, it seemed to have gone well. Well, it was a party full of tanks.

Speaking of, the rare boss trio is composed of <Boss Minotaur>, <Boss Orc> and <Boss Cockatrice>. All three of them are bipideal and can use weapons too, so they're quite strong.

As a rare boss, their status was obviously a step above regular boss, each of them scaled up to the strength of Int-low boss.

Their unique skill is also quite strong, though it kind of has an incomprehensible name, <i'm the No.1 and you're the lowly No.2 and No.3>. But ignoring that, the challenger will receive super high damage if they happen to get winded up in a fellow boss's rampage.

This is probably because they are fighting over their own meat. By the way, <Beef> is always the number one, while No.2 and No.3 keep fighting for their spot. The other two, a pig and a chicken, occasionally join hands to overthrow Minotaur, albeit to no avail. Minotaur kind of has a skill <Beef is eternally No.1>!

Overwhelming is the First place, you're struggling for 2nd and 3rd place.

One thing to be careful about is, while <Boss Minotaur> is the strongest among the three bosses, there's a trap hidden that defeating <Boss Minotaur> first would unleash even an stronger unique skill from before, <Struggle for hideous No.1 place>, which is something to be careful about. Somehow, that skill was so strong it easily wiped out the majority of first-timer parties.

I have experienced complete defeat in the game once too. I was so sad then. Extra-Dungeonn has the limitation that if you have been defeated once, you can't enter into the dungeon for that day. Alas, what a waste of QP. I bet this must be an intended trap from the developers.

Just as I was off on my own world, reminiscing about my past failure, a tiny figure came trotting towards me. It was Lulu. However, for some reason, Celia was running alongside Lulu while staring at her.

What's going on?

"Lulu has gathered a lot of meat! Please praise Lulu!"

"Of course. You're so amazing, Lulu."

"I'm not asking you, Celia Onee-chan! I want Zephyr Onii-sama to praise me!"

"No-Not me!?"

I don't quite get it, but Celia received a shock when Lulu told her otherwise.

"Haven't you fought together, Celia? Seriously, what are you even saying?"

Look, even Ester is looking at her with a dumbfounded gaze. Celia recently has been acting like Lulu's fan girl. Man, she looks so different from her sage-like impression she exudes on our initial meeting.

I wonder if it's the devilish cuteness of Lulu that has Celia floored in.

Either way. I praised Lulu.

"Thank you, Lulu. It's so amazing that you have collected so much, keep it up."

"Grin Mufu~"

Ohh, Lulu is making a smug face.

She looked so cute my hand unconsciously moved in to pat her.

"Shock! How envious you get to, get to pat Lulu's head."

"R, Really? But I am more afraid of your current look, Celia."

Rika, who had come with her, was taken back seeing Celia staring at me so intently, as if she had a handkerchief in her hand, she would have been biting on it.

Good grief. That being said, I believe she regularly pat Lulu's head, no?

"Here, Zephyr. Souvenir for you."

"Hu--- Ohh! Isn't it the <Demolition Greatsword> that <Gold Chest> drops!? You scored a gold chest!?"

"Sure enough, you indeed know, huh."

The thing Sierra handed to him casually was a sword with a blade length of over 1 meter classified as a katana, a weapon that can only be obtained from gold chest.

In terms of appearance, it looks more like a kitchen knife than a katana. Both Rika, and Pamela are viable since it's a straight sword.

"This weapon is especially more effective against animal-type monsters. It also has a certain chance to double the drops from animal-type when you finish them with this sword. You will have a lot of time to use it since animal-types are quite common in the intermediate dungeon."

"I see. Then Pamela is more suitable to use it than me. I am more oriented towards defensive stance, you know."

"Are you sure, Rika?"

"Of course. After all, I have this one I got from Karua."

Rika looked at <Hexa Thunder Blade - Beast Lock> fastened to her waist.

Since Rika was alright with it, I handed the sword to Pamela.

"Then here you have it, Pamela."

"Yahoo! I got a new weapon-desu!"

Pamela hopped in like a bunny with the <Demolition Great Sword> in her hand. She seems to be wholeheartedly delighted getting a new weapon.

"Thank you Rika, Sierra, and Celia! I will use it carefully-desu!"

In this way, <Demolition Great Sword> became Pamela's main weapon.

Hearing further, it seems they scored two treasure chests from rare bosses. Another chest dropped a huge frying pan shaped hammer, <Fry the Punch>.

It may look like another troll weapon, but it was incredibly strong. A pity, that Eden has no talent who can use a hammer as a weapon. I tried to ask Shizu to equip it, but she refused. A pity (again). It could have been the chance to see a battle maid fighting with a frying pan live......

I guess I just have to sell it to the cooking guild <In search of the perfect balance between taste and buff> guild. It might sell for a good price.

"Great job, everyone. Meat is also ready, so grab your plate and have the taste of delicious cooking>"

"Got it."

"Ah, welcome back Sierra, I would recommend trying out this beef chuck. It's heavenly delicious."

"What, you're already eating!?"

Lana quipped into Sierra with a content and beaming face, holding a plate with meat on it.

Good grief, talk about a sneaky princess I can never lower my guard around. Either way, I'm going to eat too! Hannah served the meat to m---

"So delicious!"

The meat was so tender it melted into my mouth like a fluffy cotton candy as soon as I took a bite. Just a single bit made me crazy over it.

Coated in Hannah's special sauce, the flavour was so exquisite that it consumed my every thought and I couldn't help but relish every single bite. It was undoubtedly one of the finest meats to be found in all of the <Dungeon Activity>, and I could only describe it with one word: heavenly!

"Ohhhhhhh"

It was so delicious I lost the ability to speak coherently. What amazing meat. I want everyone to try it out! I would definitely offer some to <Sachineko-sama>! Absolutely!

Ah, it's so delicious. I was so glad that I had come to the world of <Dungeon Activity>, I felt like shooting beams of light from my eyes and mouth.

"Have you seen him, everyone? Even Zephyr is completely lost in the taste, you all should try it!"

"I will have it."

"Keep eating everyone, there's a lot to come!"

Lana pointed at me and encouraged everyone to try meat. Sierra was the first one to take the plate.

In keeping with the atmosphere, Hannah too enthusiastically keeps grilling the meat.

And so, the fun time in the Extra-Dungeon <Foodstuff and Livestock Dungeon> passed in the blink of an eye.
