Chapter 7
Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi Chapter 7
This is the fifth day since we set off from Kiers .
“Let’s set up camp here for today . ”
Werner-san always gives the command to set camp when the Sun is about to set .
“Then I shall cook with the red boar meat . ”
“Oh, looking forward to it man . ”
The red boar was killed on the way by Iron Will . It was a gigantic red-haired demonic pig .
Materials from demonic goblins or wolves (also known as grey wolves) do not fetch a good price so we usually do not pick them after slaying those, but the red boar’s meat, tusk, and hide can all be sold for good money .
As expected of the adventurers, they dissected the boar for its materials real quick .
The problem is that we can’t carry the entire body of the boar since it’s so large .
After hearing them discussing on whether they should throw the cheap parts of the boar meat, I suggested that the meat be stored in my item box, since there is room some room for it .
Due to that, I have permission to use the red boar meat for the meals .
At first I planned to turn it into steak, however that takes time, so I rejected that idea . I am going to cook that .
That is my favourite stir-fried pork with ginger .
First, the red boar meat was thinly sliced . Next, it was pickled thoroughly in Tare sauce that I bought from the Internet Supermarket .
While pickling the meat, I sliced the cabbage into pieces .
By then, the pickled meat was ready for roasting .
As usual, the soup was hastily prepared with instant consommé stock cubes .
“Dinner is done . The red boar meat was cooked according to a hometown recipe . Not sure if it’s going to fit everyone tastes though…”
The stir-fried pork with ginger and cabbage was served up on the wooden plate, and was distributed to everyone along with consommé soup and bread .
“Oh, this is really stirring up my appetite!” (Werner-san)
“What in the world is this, crazy good —” (Vincent)
“Yum! This is my first time eating something so delicious . ” (Rita)
“I dislike red boar meat but this is great, wow . ” (Franca)
“This is my first time eating cabbade raw but, with the meat, it has totally become a real masterpiece!” (Ramon)
Oh, the storm of compliments .
It must be the exceptional grade of Tare sauce by that certain company .
The various companies, yep .
Also, they call cabbage as cabbade in this world .
Despite all the praises for my cooking, I think my stir-fried pork with ginger is just average . With that in thought, I proceeded to eat it . All of a sudden, someone called out to me .
“Human, let me have that too . ”
The owner of that voice was a wolf . But that wolf had such beautiful fur that it is ridiculous in comparison with all the demonic wolves I have seen so far . It was such a divine wolf .
The adventurers tensed up and did not make even the slightest movement .
“Oi, human, do you not hear me?”
I timidly presented the half-eaten stir-fried pork that I was holding .
With a sound as loud as a bull, the wolf ate everything in one mouthful .
“Mm, it is sufficiently delicious . Bring me more . ”
“Fe, it’s a Fenrir……”
Werner-san muttered under his breath as he broke out in cold sweat .
So it is a demon that even petrifies adequately experienced adventurers like Iron Will?
Wha, what shall we do? Even though we are so close to the Veenen country …
“Ma, Makooda-san, just do as you are told . ”
Werner-san might have said that, but we don’t have any stir-fried pork left .
This wolf can understand human language, so if I do as Werner-san says, there is a chance we can make out of this unscathed .
“Urm, urmm, I need to make some more, co-could you wait a bit longer?”
“Umu . You better not make me wait for too long . ”
I speedily cooked the stir-fried pork with ginger in hopes that we can escape the Fenrir .
The Fenrir gluttonously ate the stir-fried pork I made .
The Fenrir kept demanding for more, and in the end, nearly 7 to 8 kg worth of stir-fried pork with ginger was made .
“Gebuu . That was tasty . Even then, to have satisfied me with so little meat, you have done well . ”
Excuse me? That was around 7 to 8 kg you know?
And that’s like how much you normally eat?
“Umu, we will form a contract . ”
…… Huh?
What contract?
“Oi, are you listening? I’m telling you to form a familiar contract with me . ”I remember that I had read this kind of genre somewhere before . It was something like tamers right?
Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong .
It is a demon that speaks, no?
A demon that even petrifies Iron Will, no?
To form a familiar contract with such a demon …… that’s crazy isn’t it?
“Erm, ehh, I reje ‘nu?’ ”
“No, um, I was saying, I rejec ‘aa?’ ” (TN: I think the wolf is using some spell to prevent him from saying it)
“……”
This bastard, he does not intend to let me reject the offer .
“It is an impossible thought but, are you perhaps thinking of rejecting a contract with me, a Fenrir who is a descendant of the Wind Goddess Ninlil ? I don’t think you will do something that appalling, so what do you say? Hm?”
Fenrir, a demon that speaks the human language? The members of Iron Will signalled to me using eye contact that anything is fine, and I should just agree to it .
There is no way out of this, right?
Screw this, so I only had one option right from the start .
I reluctantly said, “ I understand . ” The Fenrir seemed satisfied and gave an “Umu” while nodding .
“Come here . ”
I had no choice but to go closer to the Fenrir .
“Come even closer . You need to be right in front of my eyes . ”
Being told by the Fenrir, I went right in front of his eyes . ”
“We will start the contract ritual now . ”
After saying that, the Fenrir placed his forehand on mine .
After the contact with the Fenrir’s forehead, my body glowed momentarily .
“That concludes our contract . Hm? Master, you have the appraisal skill, Are you a summoned hero?”
O, oiiiii .
I immediately restrained Fenrir’s mouth .
“Mogomogomogo, oi, what are you doing . ”
I whispered, “That, that is absolutely confidential” .
“Oh, is that it? I understand then . Well then, I shall check your status . ”
Fenrir had understood and spoke in a soft voice in which only I can hear . Because of Fenrir’s insistence, I checked my status .

“Umu, seems good . ”
“Eh, you can see it?”
“Who do you think I am? Being the descendant of Ninlil, the Wind Goddess, I should at least have the appraisal skill . ”
Is that the difference? Anyways, what happens after the contract?
“Now, I am the familiar of my master . As my master, you need to at least take care of me . Are we in agreement?”
Understand? Eh, really?
By taking care, you mean like caring for a pet?
“Don’t forget my three meals a day . I will be looking forward to it . ”
…… Oi .
By three meals a day, do you mean that you are so hooked on my food that you decided to be my familiar?
That’s the case right?“Oi, the people over there, I have concluded the contract with this guy . Don’t need to feel scared, it’s not like I would attack you guys . ”
From hearing Fenrir’s voice, everyone from Iron Will were startled .
“Erm, everyone, this is Fenrir? He understands the human language and it looks like it will be alright ……”
“Oh, I just remembered . After forming the familiar contract, master, you have to name me . ”
“Eh – that is so sudden . Um so it will be, Pochi . ” (TN: means dot, point, tip)
“Master, do you take me for a fool?”
I said Pochi on the spur of the moment .
How should I put it, this scary dude was kinda lured by food and really does seem like an idiot to me .
“Hey, don’t get pissed . How about Koro?”
After saying that, Fenrir got into a bigger fit .
What the heck, this guy is really selfish .
“OK, since you are a Fenrir, how bout Feru?”
Why are you looking so proud now?
With that, Fenrir’s name is now Feru .
While doing all that, Iron Will started to move .
Among them, the fastest to get up was Werner-san and he said weakly .
“Ma, Makooda-san …… . ”
“Ah, are you alright, Werner-san?”
“Ah, ahh, I’m fine but… Don’t tell me this really is the legendary Fenrir……”
Eh? You say legendary? The guy who got baited by food?
“300 years ago, there was a witness record of this legend but, I have never heard about a Fenrir forming a familiar contract . ”
Eh —— .
“Well, I am the only Fenrir left . From what I have heard, 700 years ago, there was an incident where a contract was formed with a Fenrir . I myself was born 1000 years ago, and this is my first time forming a contract . ”
Whoa, 1000 years of living huh?
“Just because the Fenrir wanted to eat delicious foods . My decades of working under others have not been in vain . ”
Ah— Ah—Ah—, I just said that .
After all, he did say he was after the food .
It’s said that this guy is a legendary beast, but I wonder if he is really any good .
