…Yeah, the spices are starting to smell good. Everything should be cooked up enough.

All that’s left is to throw in the rest of the ingredients and simmer everything, but…
Grim and them still haven’t come back from mushroom collecting.
|
[frantic running]

 Jamil
Jamil

…What’s that earth-rumbling stomping.
Hm? Someone’s running this way from inside the forest. Oh, that is…
|

 Grim
Grim 
|
Heeeey, Jamillll!!! I brought you the ingredients!!
|
 Floyd

C'mon, stop running around!
|
 Jamil
Jamil

It’s Floyd, Grim and Yuu, huh.
What are they doing, running around so frantically…?
|
[bam!]
|

 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Taa-daa, I captured you, Azarashi-chan.
|
 Grim
Grim

Funyaaaaa! I was sooooo close to reaching Jamil…!
|
 Jamil
Jamil

You guys having fun chasing each other around over there while we’re over here working hard? How nice.
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
It’s not fun at all. This little thing was gonna…
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
Nooooooo! I wanna eat the curry too, yanno!!
|
 Jamil
Jamil 
|
…Hm? Hey, that mushroom Grim’s holding, that’s poisonous.
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
Eh!? This ain’t shiitake!?
|
 Floyd
Floyd

Nope. Shiitake is…
Of the Order Agricales, Family Tricholomataceae, Genus Lentinula.
They are generally found to grow on dead broadleaf trees, but may also be found on coniferous trees, like cedar.
A shiitake has a brown umbrella-shaped cap, a thick stipe, and white gills on the underside of the cap. Because of their succulent aroma, they can be a culinary delicacy.
|
 Floyd

…But the one that Azarashi-chan’s got is something completely different…
This one has a similar appearance to shiitake.
However, it is highly toxic, and if accidentally consumed may cause abdominal pain and other various poisoning symptoms.
Unlike the shiitake mushrooms, there is a hardened ring on the stipe. In addition, it is distinguished by the red coloring that can be seen when the stipe is sliced open.
…That’s why the one you’re holding’s not a shiitake, it’s something else. No good.

You just started rattling off all that info at breakneck speed… Were you reading something just now?
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
Th-then you shoulda said “that’s poisonous” or something beforehand!
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Aahhn? I told you y'can’t eat that.
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
When you said we can’t eat it… I thought you meant you didn’t want to eat it ‘cause you hated it!?
That wasn’t clear, yanno!
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Ahn? Can’t believe you’d blame someone else for your mistake… Azarashi-chan, you got some nerve, huh?
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
Hiiieee…! Hey, Yuu! You gotta save me here!
|
 Jamil
Jamil 
|
Hey, you all, that’s enough.
…But, Floyd, I’m surprised. You really must have studied up for this trip.
Even I would have had trouble distinguishing those mushrooms apart at first glance, and I am fairly well versed in poisons.
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Study? Why would I do a thing like that?
I was just repeating the stuff I saw in that reference book yesterday.
|
 Jamil
Jamil 
|
Hm? Stuff you saw? What does that mean?
|
 Floyd

Before we came out here for camp, Jade tried to give me a “Mountain Hiking Guide” or whatever~
“This will absolutely come in handy!” he said, pushing it onto me.
He wouldn’t shut up about it, so I just skimmed it once. The stuff I said earlier was written there.
|
 Jamil
Jamil 
|
You remembered that just by skimming it once!?
You’re not telling me you memorized the whole book…?
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Yeah. But meh, I’ll prolly forget it soon ‘cause I don’t really care.
|
 Jamil
Jamil

I see…
I always wondered why your test grades were all over the place, but…
Never thought your memory would be similarly inconsistent.
(…It’s good that Floyd is always so moody.)
(If he was actually better focused on his studies…)
(The academic ranking between Octavinelle and Scarabia might have had the complete opposite results.)

Hey, Umihebi-kun. Is dinner ready yet? They made me run around so much that I’m staaarving.
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
Funyaaaaa… I wanted to eat curry to…
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Meh, why can’t you eat together with us? I mean, you did go and pick the mushrooms like you were asked.
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
Funya!? R-Really?
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Oh, but… ‘Cause of you, we almost all woulda gotten a stomachache, sooo~
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
Urrrghh… Why’re you tryin’ to give me false hope!? You’re so mean, yanno!!
|
Choice 1: Please overlook what happened…
|
Choice 2: Have pity on us…
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Umihebi-kun, what’d you think?
|
 Jamil
Jamil 
|
…Sigh. If they’ll help with preparing the rest of the dinner as well, sure.
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Ahahah, great idea! They can do my part too~
|
 Grim
Grim 
|
Grrrr… I don’t wanna do any more work, but… Sounds like I got no choice…
|
 Floyd
Floyd

Mmkay, then I’ll be waiting for an actually edible curry from you guys~
