After exiting the barrier, Ryo headed to the same place he went to last time in the northern part of the forest. There, he found newly ripened phigs.

“Nice. An excellent haul.”

He plucked ten phigs, put them into the sack, and headed north until he finally arrived at the location of the assassin hawk’s ambush. Two hundred meters from the barrier.

“This is where it tried to take me out last time. I don’t see any right now though.”

A close inspection of the area showed him it was a slightly open clearing where the dense forest thinned out a bit. In short, the perfect place to attack from the sky.

“I didn’t notice it at all back then. Maybe it’s proof of how much I had going on in my head at the time.”

He continued north while keeping a wary eye on his surroundings. When he found himself about five hundred meters from the barrier, he at long last got what he wanted.

“Oh, wow... Those green bunches... That’s definitely black pepper, isn’t it...”

The green bunches were about the size of Delaware grapes after they’d been soaked in the liquid that made them seedless... If he said this in front of grape and black pepper farmers, they would scold him soundly by saying, “Grapes and black pepper don’t look the same at all!”

Unfortunately, that was the extent of Ryo’s knowledge, or more accurately, lack thereof.

He plucked an orb and bit into it. A fragrant aroma filled his mouth and nostrils while a spiciness prickled across his tongue. Generally speaking, black pepper is famous because it’s harvested in this green state and dried over a period of time until it turns black, but in places like southeast Asia on Earth it’s often stir-fried just like this with foods like chicken.

Be that as it may, it was the first time Ryo tasted black pepper in its unripened state.

“All right, I’m picking them!”

The pepper bunches he collected combined with the phigs to fill up about half the jute sack. He knew just this small amount would have been a fortune during the Age of Discovery.

“I pretty much accomplished my original goal, but let me explore a little more.”
