Chapter 4: A New Magic Stove

My familiars and I had just finished breakfast and were lounging around in the living room. I wasn’t supposed to meet with Orson until the day after tomorrow, which meant I could take it easy today and spend tomorrow shopping for a new magic stove.

...Well, that was my plan, anyway.

“Let us depart! The hunt awaits!” Fel declared out of absolutely nowhere.

“Whoa there, Fel! What do you mean, ‘the hunt’?! Where’s this coming from?!” I protested.

“The crab we ate yesterday was delicious, was it not?”

“Well, yeah, it was. What about it?”

“I wish to partake of it again, and today we have a perfect opportunity to hunt down several more.”

“Oh ho! An excellent idea indeed!” Gon bellowed.

《Yeah, I like the sound of that!》 Dora-chan said. 《I could go for a few more of those crabs, for sure!》

《Sui wants to eat more crabbies too!》 Sui added.

The whole gang was instantly ready to go along with Fel’s proposal, but I wasn’t going to let myself get argued into submission that easily.

“Nope, not happening,” I said. “Today’s the day we accomplish our main objective for coming to this town in the first place, so hunting’s off the table.”

“Our main objective?” all four of my familiars repeated in bewilderment.

Sheesh. All of them forgot? Seriously? “A magic stove, remember? We’re here to buy a new one!”

That finally seemed to jog my familiars’ memories. My magic stove had been smashed to oblivion by a behemoth, and getting by without it had been all sorts of inconvenient.

“We need a new stove, guys. We’ve managed to get by on this trip thanks to all the food I made in advance, sure, but if you want me to cook something you hunt while we’re on the road or if I run low on premade stuff, you’re gonna find yourselves with way fewer options than usual when our meal times come around! I can’t cook on the spot if I don’t have the tools I need!”

I made a point of pre-cooking meals whenever I had the chance, but knowing my resident gluttons’ appetites, it always felt like we were just a meal or two away from running dry. Having a magic stove handy to cook from scratch with was the one thing that would reassure me.

“Hm? You mean to say our meals are at risk?” Fel asked.

“Exactly,” I confirmed. “I stocked up on way more food than usual before we left on this trip, and since we’re in town, we’re okay for now, but what do you think would happen if we ran out of premade stuff in the middle of a forest or something? I’d have to cook then and there, right?”

“It stands to reason.”

“I’d think so, yes.”

《I mean, somebody’s gotta make our grub for us!》

《Sui doesn’t want to not have food!》

“Right? And if I wanna cook on the go like that, I need to have a magic stove on hand.”

“So it is an important tool indeed!” Fel said, sounding almost indignant that we could be caught without one.
