Rice
After Mylene showed me around Donut Island, I asked her to give me some information about the 35th level.
Well, to put it simply, this world doesn't seem to be inside a dungeon.
However, since we actually went down the Amru dungeon, we recognize this place as being inside the dungeon.
I can't deny that maybe the dungeon stairs were a teleportation gate or something, and we were sent to some other world.
At any rate, it would be all right to think of the 35th level as a big planetary stage.
It's useless to think about it.
So, where are we now? It seems to be an island near the center of the ocean between the Demon Continent in the north and the Beastman Continent in the south.
So, I asked Mylene to show me a map of the surrounding area.
"Hmm? This is..."
The map Mylene showed me was, no matter how you looked at it, a map of Earth.
It was a crude map with only America and parts of Europe on it, but it was definitely a map of the Earth.
And Donut Island, where we are located, is in the Caribbean Sea in terms of place names on Earth, and the stairs leading to the 34th level are probably located in the center of the Bermuda Triangle, which is feared as the area of death.
The place that corresponds to America is the Demon Continent, and the place that corresponds to South America is the Beastman Continent.
The place that corresponds to Europe seems to be called Europe, just like Earth, and is inhabited by humans, elves, dwarves, and a small number of humanoid races such as vampires.
Mylene and the others were originally people living in Europe, and it seems they became pirates.
Well, after all, there seems to be a Demon King in the demon country on the demon continent, so we should be able to clear the way by defeating it.
However, things did not go so easily.
The reason is that this 35th level is ridiculously large.
After all, it's the same size as Earth.
In other words, right now, rather than defeating the Demon King, I want to go to the far east of the Eurasian continent where Japan is supposed to be.
According to Mylene's story, the climate there is similar to that of Earth, so it would not be surprising if they are growing rice and making soy sauce and miso in the place where Japan is supposed to be.
I haven't eaten rice since I was reincarnated into this world.
I even made my favorite fried chicken without soy sauce.
Soy sauce takes BBQ to the next level.
Soy sauce is also essential for yakiniku sauce.
No matter what, I have to get rice, soy sauce, and miso!
So, how do we go to Japan?
The map is centered on the ocean where we are, and extends to a certain distance.
According to Mylene, the Far East is an undeveloped land, and the west side of the Demon Continent and Beastman Continent is also an unexplored sea.
Either go south from the east side of the Beastman Continent and reach the Pacific Ocean, or go south through the African continent and head east from the Cape of Good Hope to Asia...
Ah! Don't mind me using the names of places on earth!
I just don't know the names of the places in this world, and I'm using names from Earth for convenience.
So, what should I do?
On Earth, it might be possible to walk on land from around Panama and reach the Pacific Ocean.
If you use the magic bag that Shiro made, you can easily transport the Golden Skull.
It would have been easier if there was a Panama Canal in this world, but according to Mylene, there doesn't seem to be such a convenient canal.
Hmm... what should I really do?
Well, what bothers me a little is that Mylene said, [This world isn't round!]
In my opinion, it's definitely round, but if this world was in a dungeon, would it be strange for it to be round......
Mylene couldn't seem to understand why we were going west to Japan, which is on the eastern edge of the Eurasian continent.
After all, the safe route is to go south through the African continent and head from the Cape of Good Hope to Asia.
As I was thinking about this, Shiro came over, apparently having finished remodeling the Queen Mylene.
"Is it done already?"
"My work is only to paint the Golden Skull on the sails and to make the skull head to be attached to the bow!
The work of painting the hull of the ship with mithril slime carcasses is done by the low-ranking pirates, and since it was a pain to re-make the cannon with mithril, I decided to just coat it with mithril!"
"I see. That's what it is."
"So, Master, you want rice, soy sauce, and miso, right?"
It seems like Shiro read my mind.
"That's right."
"In that case, I looked into your head and have already made prototypes of soy sauce and miso, so would you like to try them out?
I didn't know the details of how to make it, so I made it partly by intuition.''
"W... what!"
As expected, I would say Shiro is excellent.
I can't believe she had already developed soy sauce and miso.
"After all, I am Master’s number one servant!
This much is normal!"
Shiro, perhaps reading my mind, was extremely embarrassed.
"Then I'll give it a try, miso soup and sashimi!
This would be great if I had some rice!"
"I have it."
While I was talking excitedly, Mylene said something unexpected.
"Do you have rice?"
"It's commonly eaten in the Beastman Continent and the Roman Empire in Europe."
"Uhyoo, white rice! Wait… Roman Empire!?"
The name of the surprising country came out of Mylene's mouth.
