Volume 9 Chapter 1 Part 3

「Yes, it’s okay. It is not that big a deal anyway.」

「Then, can you heat the water in these jars using your fire, please?」

I point to the jars filled with water. If it goes well, it will become easier to prepare the bath in the future.

「I don’t think it is possible to heat them properly with just my breath alone.」

「Is that so?」

「But I can at least try to do so, though.」

It doesn’t look like it will become any easier.

Vesta steps inside the bathroom, and stands in front of the jars that I have already managed to fill with water. She bends down, and brings her face closer to the jars… and then she blows fire from her mouth straight into them.

She’s really doing it! There really is fire coming out of her mouth!

「Ooh」

Wow. She really is breathing fire, just like she said she would. The flame sticks to the water surface and then disappears, turning into steam.

「I am sorry, but I can only make about this much. It is a Skill which is normally used to attract enemy’s attention, so it’s continuous use is not possible as it was not designed to be strictly combat oriented.」

「I see. Still, this is definitely amazing.」

「Thank you very much, master.」

The flame goes out in a few seconds, so it didn’t persist for very long. Instead of a dragon using its breath attack, it felt more like a fire dancer dancing with their torch. I feel like it could be something that can definitely be used for a street performance.

「Huh? Can’t everyone from the Dragonkin tribe become a Wizard or Mage since they can produce fire like that?」

If you can use magic, you can become a Wizard or a Mage. That is one of the laws of this world. Ordinary people who can’t normally use magic without using very specific methods to obtain these Jobs, can’t become magic users.
But since Dragonkin tribe members can breathe fire, shouldn’t they be able to become a mage by default?

But when I checked Vesta’s status, she didn’t have the Mage Job. Maybe that’s because she didn’t use fire breath ever before?

Nope. Maybe she needs to be a Villager Lv.5 first? Or maybe, even if you can use magic, since it is not enough to deal a death blow to a monster, it is not considered an adequate Skill to guarantee getting the Mage Job? This can definitely be a possibility

「It looks like it is something entirely different from a Mage’s magic. Even a Dragonkin tribe member can’t become a Mage unless they use an appropriate item at a young age. Master is more amazing in that regard since he can use magic.」

「It’s different? How so?」

I wonder how exactly is it different? Can breathing fire not become an amazing form of a magic attack? I will have to consult Sherry about it later.

With action from Vesta done, I cast 「Fireball」 to heat up the water in the jugs the usual way.

「Wow. It’s really amazing.」

Vesta stayed for a while to observe me at work, but eventually went back to the kitchen with
Roxanne. I head to the kitchen after I was halfway done with the preparation of the bath.

When I walked down, I saw that Roxanne was boiling the soup, so she must have started without waiting for me to get the fire started. And speaking of starting the fire, I know now that Vesta can do it, but can she also put it out or stop whenever she wants, or does she need to keep it going non-stop for those few seconds?

Well, now that I know what she is capable of, it looks like we won’t even be needing the matches ever again if we’d want to start cooking….even if that strings me a little bit since that’s going to be one less thing that I can be useful with my magic for.

「Roxanne, can I ask you to go to the Labyrinth together with me?」

And now I have to ask her to accompany me one more time. Honestly, I feel like she’s doing so much for me, but I am not doing all that much for her. But it remains a fact that when I am heating the bath, I am expending large amounts of MP in order to do so, and so I need to go to the Labyrinth to recover it.

「Yes, with pleasure. Sherry, could you watch the fire for me while I’m gone?」

「Watch the soup for you? Of course.」
「Vesta, can I ask you to wash these vegetables and cut them all into bite-sized pieces?」

Yeah, if nothing else, I at least have to make sure that the meal that we are going to be eating today is going to be perfect.

After deciding on what to do, I ordered Vesta to take care of the vegetables.

「Understood.」

「Next, go ahead and cut all of these mushrooms in half. They’re going to be delicious when fried, you can trust me on that.」

「It does sound amazing when you put it like that, master.」

Vesta was pleased, and I didn’t have to ask Roxanne to do any more work, so for me, it’s like killing two birds with one stone.

As for Roxanne, I am sure that she’s going to be happy as long as I’ll keep on taking her to the Labyrinth with me for these MP recovering trips of mine.

After that, we went to the Labyrinth where I hunted enough monsters to fully recover my MP, and then we came back home so that I could finish boiling up the bath. When I was finally done with that, the only thing that was left for us to do was to finish preparing the food.

「Vesta, you can squeeze this next.」

「Are we really using that for the purpose of cooking?」

「Yes. Just like with the mushrooms, it’s going to enhance the taste of the food.」

While saying that, I give Vesta a lemon so that she could squeeze it.

Now that we are all in the kitchen busy with the preparation of the food, I can’t help but feel that it is getting much more cramped than usual.

After all, Vesta is quite big, so it’s natural that she’s taking much more space that Roxanne, Sherry or Miria.

But then again…. Maybe being squeezed like that wouldn’t be all that bad? I mean, if it was like that, then I could probably get away with my head 「accidentally」 touching her boobs if only I play my cards right. If something like that were to happen, then I bet that the sensation would be irresistible… oooooh my God, just imagining that is enough to make my head spin.

While I was busy drowning in my own perverted delusions, the rest of the food has been prepared.

「It’s ready, desu.」

The quantity of the fish that Miria managed to prepare is more than five people’s fill. We also have Rabbit Meat cut into bite-size pieces seasoned with salt and pepper, so it should be enough

「Okay, all you have to do now is to take this with you. Sherry and Vesta, can you please take the warp soup to the table?」

「Yes, of course.」

Everyone else aside Vesta and Sherry leaves the kitchen and heads over to the dining room, while I have Vesta help me with heating up the soup.

Vesta moves closer to the stove and breathes fire to light up the wood that was placed under the pot that contains the soup. The flame stretches out from her mouth all the way to the wood, igniting it in a matter of seconds.

I am only seeing that for the second time, but it’s still as impressive as the first time.

「Apparently, it is not magic. Do you know anything about how she’s able to do it, Sherry?」

「Dragonkin can store a gas which can be burnt in a portion of their body. The gas itself is inflammable. Since you can light it even if you are not from the Dragonkin tribe, it is therefore not considered to be magic.」

Sherry explains everything to me. In other words, what Vesta is using is more like a methane gas, right? And because you can light up the gas without possessing any kind of special abilities, it’s indeed not fitting to be calling that magic. It’s more of a chemical reaction, so no wonder she is not a Mage. I do wonder how they light it up, though.

    Maybe Vesta can create a little spark her teeth at the beginning

    1. StealthAria

      Either she has some way to create a spark (could be bio-electric) or it might just be that she has a high enough internal temperature for the gas to auto-ignite in the presence of oxygen. A third option would be that the gas itself simply reacts with something and starts burning the say way lithium and sodium do when they get wet.
