Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 26

Chapter 26 Caramel Flavored Cream Fruit Cake

 Some grass-type Pokémon are very special.

 They do not need food and can survive with sunlight, soil and clean water.

 Mini Fu is one of them.

When it is bathing in the sun, it will convert the nutrients produced by photosynthesis into oil in the body and store it in the fruit on the head. It can go without eating or drinking for a week.

Looking at Minifu's lazy expression, Naoki also sat down at the desk.

 Looking back, Luton stood there looking at him with a bright look.

Maybe he was tired from fluttering butterflies outside, but the Motorized Lizard was lying on the wooden floor and yawning.

 In the cupboard, Frosty Milk Fairy looked at this new home with satisfaction.

On the windowsill, Mini Fu lazily basked in the sun and blew in the wind.

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

 In the newly built chicken house, the hens were walking around cooing.

 Under the soft soil, crops that can bring hope to people are growing vigorously.

 In the cave behind the house, the mycelium of the mushroom is sprouting. I believe it will grow into delicious and tender mushrooms in a few days.

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

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

 Zhi Shu felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction in his heart.

 He took out his account book and recorded today's income and expenditure in detail.

  Spring 198, January 14.

income:

 Expenditures: Complete the chicken house, wooden fence, purchase of hens ×3, rooster ×1, Frost Milk Fairy ×1, Miu Fu ×1, -30600

  Remaining funds: 5900

Looking at the names of Frost Milk Fairy and Mini Fu on the account book, Naoki suddenly realized something.

 In fact, he does not need to buy some Pokémon from the ranch in the town.

 The rancher is not a trainer and has no fighting ability.

Pokémon such as wild salt giants, humbats, and milk tanks are basically impossible for these ordinary ranchers to catch, and even if they are caught, it will take time to train them to work on the ranch.

Compared to wild Pokémon, most artificially bred Pokémon have very docile temperaments, will not attack people, and will actively cooperate with ranchers in their work.

 Hence, the most convenient thing for them is to buy directly from the pasture that is specially raised by experts.

  But it's different for Naoki.

 He turned his head and looked at Gu Ledun.

　　So Luton is also a legendary Pokémon, a great being known as King Wing. Its combat power should far exceed that of ordinary Pokémon.

With Guluton around, Naoki can do things that ordinary ranchers cannot do, such as collecting Pokémon directly from the wild and bringing them back to the ranch.

I have decided to go to Cauldron Lake tomorrow to investigate the Pokémon ecology there!

 Let's see if there are any Pokémon suitable for raising in the ranch.

　　It was getting late outside, and the entire pasture was shrouded in dusk.

Zhi Shu took Guluton and Motor Lizard in the farmland to check the condition of the crops.

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

 “Fortunately, there are just a few weeds and no bugs.”

After pulling out the weeds, Zhishu looked up at the sky and saw that it was getting late, so he took Gullton and Motorized Lizard back to the house and started preparing dinner.

 The Frost Milk Fairy in the cupboard saw his action and immediately jumped out of the cupboard and came to the stove. She didn't seem to be afraid of fire at all.

 Zhi Shu raised his eyebrows, seeing the Frost Milk Fairy's actions, he guessed: "Do you want to prepare dinner with me?"

 “Mama!”

 The Cream Fairy nodded happily.

 Zhi Shu lowered his head and looked at the ingredients placed in front of him, including eggs, tree fruits, smoked sausages, toast slices, raw meat steaks, and noodles. They can be used to make fried pork chops, steamed eggs, sandwiches, and clear soup noodles.

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

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

 It is known that the Cream Fairy can generate whipped cream from its hands, and it will give its tree fruits decorated with fresh cream to its trusted trainers.

 The happier the Cream Fairy feels, the more delicious the fresh cream it makes will be.

Since the desserts framed with this kind of whipped cream are extremely delicious, it is every pastry chef's dream to have the Cream Fairy as a companion.

cream…

Zhi Shu looked at the toast slices and tree fruits in the packaging bag, and suddenly thought of a good idea.

 Cream fruit cake!

 Although he doesn't have an oven or a whisk yet, he can use toast slices as a cake base. He just needs to spread a layer of fresh cream on top and put a few berries on it to make a simple fruit cake.

 “In that case, let's prepare together!”

 Zhi Shu stacked several pieces of toast together, used a kitchen knife to shape them into a round shape, and then placed them in front of the Cream Fairy.

 “Spread this cake base with your cream!” Naoki said.

 The clever Frost Milk Fairy immediately understood what he meant.

It stretched out its hand, and a steady stream of fresh cream poured out from it, smearing it on the cake base made of toast.

When it was almost done, Naoshu called a stop at the right time, smoothed the butter with a knife, and then cut the fruit into small pieces and put it on top.

In this way, a caramel flavored cream fruit cake is completed.

Zhi Shu looked down, and the information about the cake also emerged.

[Cream Fruit Cake (Caramel Flavor) (D-): A dessert of average quality, a fruit cake made with Creamy Cream Fairy's hand-whipped cream. If a normal cake base is used, its grade may be higher.

Cooking effect: Sweet Dream lv1, after being eaten by a Pokémon, it can temporarily forget its troubles and sorrows, have a sweet dream, and see the people and things it wants to see in its dreams.

  Evaluation: A dessert that can bring happiness to humans and Pokémon. ]

Huh?

 The effect of making Pokémon have sweet dreams?

Zhi Shu was a little surprised. He originally thought the effect would be to restore physical strength.

But having said that, dreaming seems to be the ability of Cresselia, the God of Dreams?

 Naoki thought for a moment.

 Successfully helped Naoki make the cake, and the Cream Fairy looked very happy.

Zhi Shu couldn't help but laugh and said: "Wait a little longer, I will cook a few more dishes."

 “Mama?”

Hearing this, the Cream Fairy immediately raised her hand and asked if she wanted more cream?

“We won't need it for the time being.” Naoki shook his head: “Let's make desserts together next time!”

 “Mama~”

 The Frost Milk Fairy happily agreed.

 Zhi Shu also started to prepare the remaining dishes.

 Pork chop, clear soup noodles, steamed eggs, sandwiches, and finally a few cups of tree juice.

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

As expected, when these dishes were completed, there was an additional effect [physical recovery].

  Naoki has made fried pork cutlets and clear soup noodles before, but steamed eggs are the first dishes he has made.

The steamed egg liquid shows a slightly yellow color, dotted with a cluster of green scallions, and finally a drop of sesame oil is poured on it. The translucent oil sparkles under the light. When you pick it up, the steamed egg in the bowl It will also shake gently with the movement, just like pudding.

[Steamed eggs (B+): A dish of average quality, with the addition of pure rock salt, which gives it additional magical effects.

 Cooking effect: Slippery lv3, limited to hairless Pokémon. After eating, the Pokémon's body will become smooth and shiny, making it easier to break away from contact moves when fighting opponents. Duration: 3h.

 Additional effect: physical recovery

　　Rating: Enjoy it with your Pokémon! ]
