Chapter 18: Taste Test
Things went a lot more smoothly than Nick had expected, and it didn't take long before the seasoned minced meat was stuffed into the boar's innards, which were tied into proper sausages.
Since none of the three members of the Ursa tribe were satisfied with just the fatty bits from the boar, they turned all of the meat into sausages. It was enough to fill up the table Nick had brought out.
He had a couple of pots, but only a few large enough to be worth using to boil the sausages. It would take a while to cook everything. Fortunately, Lora alerted him of how many sausages they would end up making in time, and they had time to expand the campfire to make place for both pots and pans to boil and fry the sausages.
It didn't take long for the greasy smell to fill the clearing. Nick was once again worried about attracting monsters and wild animals.
"Heyo!" But the only thing that stepped out of the forest to join them was Sosora, who got wind of something happening at the Outsider's home and came to sate her curiosity.
"Wow, you guys really aren't worried about the monster kings, huh?" Sosora pointed out cheerfully while taking a seat next to Nick.
"..."
Lora and Kavam awkwardly looked at Sosora. Nick, too, since he was not expecting her to be so familiar after just talking with him a couple of times, no more than a dozen sentences in total. But then again, he was making sausages with a family he had met as many times.
Sosora looked at the tall Lora and Kavam.
