003 I want to eat rice balls


Sponsored Content

I kept on walking for about five days .

I ran out of water and food two days ago .

“Hungry……”

*Growl~~~

I was starving .

“… . . My feet hurt . ”

My sprained ankle was worsening and really painful . I tried using “First Aid” already, but it didn’t help .

I slowly ate the herbs I had gathered as I continued on . It was bitter . My throat was completely dry . It became difficult to swallow and I started coughing . I wished I had water .

I started gathering wild plants around two days ago . Although, I had some knowledge of edible wild plants, it was still difficult to differentiate between the various types of plants .

But it was then that I thought: wait, maybe it’s possible to identify them with “Appraisal”?

The end results were I was correct .

I became able to distinguish between the wild plants, such as what were edible, what could be used for wounds, and what could be used as ingredients for potions .

But there was a problem . If the wild plants weren’t cooked they would taste very bitter, which made them difficult to eat . But even so, I still ate them .

The next problem was water . Due to my thirst I had a hard time swallowing the plants .

Although “Appraisal” had allowed me to gather a supply of edible plants and herbs, it was still difficult to eat the plants .

But I still continued forth slowly like a zombie, until I finally collapsed unable to walk any further .

“Water… . . ”

Water… I want water… Water…

“… . . Water . ”

Water!! I need water! My throat!

If this continued on I would soon dehydrate and die . It was at that moment as I was thinking these thoughts .

*Splash!

“… . . Eh?”

Droplets of water landed on the ground right in front of me . When I raised my head the grass in front of me was wet . I looked up, but there was nothing there .

“Water!”

I reached my hands out towards the glistening grass and water fell down again .

Luckily, a bit of water managed to accumulate in my palms and I quickly brought it towards my mouth . I didn’t understand it, but somehow when I asked for water, it would fall .

I didn’t understand what was happening, but I didn’t care . I hastily grabbed the leather water canteen on my waist and refilled it . After it was full, I quickly gulped down the water .

“……Refreshed . ”

I had continually drank the water until my thirst was fully quenched . But…

“I’m hungry……”

It seems at some point, I dropped the bag containing all my edible plants and herbs somewhere . I didn’t have any energy left to go searching for it .

“… . . I want to eat rice balls . ”

When I said I wanted water, water had suddenly appeared . So I started thinking stupid thoughts like maybe the same would happen here to escape from reality .

“… . . Huh?”

But it really did appear . A rice ball .

What? Was I hallucinating? What was going on?

“…… . Rice ball . ”

But when I repeated the word again, another rice ball suddenly appeared in my other hand .

……There were rice balls in both my hands . I squeezed my hands a bit to confirm, but the rice balls were definitely there .

“Food… . . ”

At that point, I just stopped caring about how they had appeared .

And started eating unrelentingly . Yes, these were definitely rice balls . Just plain salted rice balls . No seaweed, no other ingredients .

But it was delicious . I didn’t understand it, but tears began to uncontrollably spill forth from my eyes .

After I finished eating the rice balls, I laid down and gazed up towards the sky .

My stomach was filled and I had calmed down a bit . I felt full… . . so those definitely weren’t hallucinations .

But how did the rice balls appear? Rather, to begin with, I don’t recall having ever seen rice during my ten years in this world . Did someone perhaps give the rice balls to me? But looking around there was no sign of anyone nearby . The rice balls had just magically appeared .

……So magic?

Right, magic exists in this world . Therefore, it was magic that made the rice balls appeared . It would make sense then… . no, wait, would it? A spell that could produce rice balls? I’ve never heard of such a thing . Even so, it was a fact that rice balls had appeared . In that case, let’s confirm it .
