Finally, Inox prepared five sealed containers with food inside, he cooked the corn cobs simply by boiling them with a little salt.
Then, with a kitchen tool, he separated the kernels with a kitchen tool and divided them equally into five portions, since each container was divided in two, in one part he put the cooked corn kernels and in the other the papaya cut into small pieces.
With the idea that it would be better not to waste anything, he threw the corn husks and the papaya peels to the sides of the pot and put them inside a fertilizer bag, "Probably those peels can nourish the soil even more," he thought.
With an "Aaah" he finally left his inn heading towards the guild tavern.
"Oh, it is you," On the way, Inox met a sturdy looking man, he spoke while looking at him before shaking his head, "Hmph, although you were not lying about the effects of that tomato, it is still better to spend those 10 thousand Eris on a potion that can kill the enemy," he added.
The prince narrowed his eyes before looking at that man, "Who are you?" he asked.
"Ah, hahaha, no, nothing," the man apologized before walking away.
"What a weird guy..." Inox shrugged before going to the guild, he finally met up with the others and together they left Axel City.
"Well, I think the strengthening effects can stack, although I am not sure for how long, anyway, I cooked my entire harvest," Inox waited a moment before continuing.
He stopped for a moment and the others did the same, observing the tree line that divided the entrance to the forest from the plains around Axel City.
Kazuma moved his hands nervously, petting the lid of the food container before putting it back into his backpack.
The Japanese man was armed with body armor, a crude sword and a round wooden shield, Dust had a shiny white armor and a spear with a golden tip, Darkness wore her usual suit.
The most striking one was Inox, dressed in a full body armor made of light leather, a helmet with a movable visor made of polished metal, and two shiny long swords with hand guards carrying a small backpack on his back where he kept his food.
"Ha..." Dust let out a big sigh before licking his lips, "Are we going to eat now?" he asked, making everyone look at each other forming a circle.
"Actually," Inox left his two swords in the guards at his waist before patting Aqua on the shoulder and looking at her with a smile.
Everyone focused their eyes on the Prince. "Hmph," Aqua raised her left hand to push that hand away, but, her strength was insufficient.
"Honestly I was surprised by Aqua's healing ability, it was good enough to save me from the brink of death, and besides I have no visible wounds or scars," he nodded to himself.
Darkness's eyes lit up as she looked at the blue girl, she clicked her tongue before saying, "Is that true?"
Dust also turned his gaze to look at Aqua. Actually, after the incident that day, no one talked about that topic, and it just faded into oblivion.
Now that Inox brought it up, Aqua, naturally, puffed out her chest with pride, "Yes, yes, yes, this guy was in a pitiful state, I never saw anyone so miserable in my whole life..."
She cleared her throat before continuing, "So I used a basic healing spell, I wanted to see if he had some hidden Eris or some wine to pay me, but there was nothing like that hidden in his room, so I ate his carrot as a form of payment."
She gave a thumbs up looking at everyone with a white toothed smile, Kazuma who was checking if the grass in this place was different from his previous world raised his head before looking at his companion.
"Y, you ate... that?!..." Darkness opened her mouth, stuttering before smiling, Dust let out a slight chuckle while Kazuma facepalmed.
"Ahem, anyway, I never..." Before he could finish speaking, Darkness approached him, looked at him with two completely serious eyes while extending her right hand.
"Huh?" Inox did not know what to say, but Darkness continued in her usual state, "Were you not laughing just a few seconds ago?" that abrupt change seemed strange to him.
"A million Eris," the blonde said, making her voice deeper.
"What the fuck bro?!!" the prince took a step back, wrinkling his face and focusing on the blonde.
"A million Eris, that is the minimum payment for taking advantage of that innocent girl with mental prob... of that innocent and pure girl," she finally said, pointing a finger at Aqua who still felt proud of herself.
Inox raised an eyebrow, Dust looked at the sun predicting the time of day, and Kazuma was once again checking the grass, he put a little of that grass in his mouth before spitting it out.
"Huh?, Abuse me?, Shit... Pay me a million Eris for abusing me!!!" Aqua took a few steps forward, screaming indignantly, but the smile on her face betrayed her attitude.
Inox sighed before spending some time calming the two girls and clearing up the misunderstanding.
Dust's eyes, on the other hand, looked at Aqua from time to time just like Darkness, if what Inox said was true, then, that blue haired girl really had one of the most powerful healing magics in the kingdom.
"So Darkness will tank and Dust behind her, Kazuma will stay defending Aqua, and I will throw myself at the closest enemies, if we are injured, Aqua would have to use a healing spell on us... about the food, when we are overwhelmed, we will take turns to eat it all and increase our capabilities, for this, we will head to where Aqua is next to Kazuma defending and whoever is eating at that moment will be protected."
Thus, the attack plan was completely defined.
Inside the forest, in a goblin settlement surrounded by a wall made of five meter high logs, in the center of the settlement was a giant five meter goblin with defined muscles.
"Sir Rowen, Lord Karmac has approved the law proposed by the council of elders to send Master rank Berserk Riders due to the continuous attacks from adventurers."
The muscular goblin bowed slightly to Sir Rowen who remained standing upright and looking at the dozen Berserk Riders in front of him.
The Berserk Riders consist of a goblin that has gone through a mutation, increasing their height to two meters, dyeing their body red, with strange patterns all over their body and a face that resembled a pig, at the same time they rode a giant wolf five meters long, one meter high, and a terrifying black coat.
"Very well, Captain, you may leave," Rowen nodded and watched as the captain withdrew using a teleportation scroll.
Several green transport circles covered the ground, the sky and the surroundings of the Captain before he disappeared.
"A new profession created by the council of elders, and they send them to me..." Rowen muttered to himself, "No, probably as the Captain said I am not the only one who received these guys."
He clicked his tongue, intrigued, then turned his gaze back to the Berserk Riders formed in two lines of six, "Very well!! From now on each of you will join a surveillance squad!!"
