Master Craftsman of the Pokemon World

Vitality Shard? What's that?

"Yo?" Σ(⊙)？

Doublade expressed confusion, while Komutae told it to wait. Soon, he retrieved a box of pale golden rhomboid "gems" from the cabinet in the living room.

"Vitality Shards. Although they all have the same shape, some are minerals, and some are artificially made, but the effect is the same."

"Using the Vitality Root and Heal Powder plants, after a series of processing, you can make Vitality Shards."

Komutae handed the Vitality Shard to Doublade.

"Yo?"

Doublade grabbed the pale golden "gem" with its blue palm, and then its eyes widened immediately!

A strong life force emanated from it!

Doublade's body emitted a faint purple energy of the Ghost-type, and soon the Vitality Shard held in the blue ribbon disappeared.

"Absorbed it? It can be used without losing stamina, it really is different from the game world. The Vitality Shard itself has strange life energy that can restore HP."

"As expected, it uses that blue ribbon-like palm to eat."

Its setting says that it will wrap the arm of the person holding the hilt with blue cloth and absorb life until they fall.

It seems that it only does this because it is hungry.

This makes sense. In the underwater ruins of the Unova region, there is a passage from ancient times that says—eating is obtaining all life.

Those with mouths eat with their mouths, and those without mouths use their own abilities.

However, the price of a Vitality Shard is about three times that of a Berry, with an average price of 1500 Poké Dollars. It is much more expensive than normal food and vegetables, almost approaching those 'large ingredients'. Eating Vitality Shards every day is a considerable expense.

It seems that if possible, in order to save expenses, I should open up a piece of land near the cabin and grow some vegetables and Berries myself. After all, I have to work here for a long time.

"Well, you're full, but I'm not yet."

It was already late. Komutae came to the stove, looking at the stone chimney and the many piles of firewood in the kitchen, which the original owner had chopped while he was out.

Fortunately, the original owner did some work when he came back, otherwise I would have no firewood to use.

Then Komutae found some ingredients from the storage box.

Canned chicken. Canned pickles.

Many onions. Many dried radishes.

Also butter, a small bag of flour, Moomoo Milk.

As well as some Berries, and mushrooms that were picked not long ago and placed in paper bags.

During long journeys, it is impossible to guarantee a fresh food source. The shelf life of ordinary vegetables other than Berries is not very long. Except for onions, of course. The shelf life of onions is one of the longest at room temperature, lasting up to a month.

In comparison, Berries are really strange natural foods. They can be stored for a very long time without rotting, and different Berries also contain different nutrients.

Komutae decided to stew these things together in a pot. This is a very common cooking method, using cheap and easily obtained ingredients, and stewing them in a pot. Of course, in order to increase the taste and flavor of the stew, some ingredients are fried or stir-fried before stewing.

And in the Pokémon world, in addition to common ingredients, Berries can also be used as raw materials for stews.

In the distant Galar region, their curry is made by stewing with Berries.

And Doublade, who was already 'full', flew into the kitchen as soon as he saw Komutae starting to prepare ingredients for cooking!

The new king is cooking himself!

As a knight, how can I not help!

Cutting vegetables, of course, it will be much faster to use my blade to cut, after all, I am quite 'sharp'!

"Yo!"

Doublade came to the cutting board, and with a clang, pulled out its main body from the scabbard. The blue ribbon palm grabbed the falling scabbard, and a faint green sharp light appeared on the blade!

Doublade used the move 'Fury Cutter'!

Super effective on cabbage!

Chop chop chop chop chop chop—!

The originally round onion softened at an extremely fast speed, turning into thin onion shreds, and Doublade's blade was swinging out afterimages!

Bug-type moves are so smooth and fast for cutting vegetables, who told vegetables to be Grass-type!

"Oh! 'Fury Cutter' can still be used like this. I haven't thought about using an ancient sword to cut vegetables. After all, you're not a kitchen knife."

Komutae was stunned, and Doublade was quite satisfied with its performance. Its single eye widened and proudly raised its sword, completely ignoring the onion crumbs and water droplets still sticking to it. Komutae quickly avoided it.

"Yo~ Yo!"

It is the duty of a subject to relieve the monarch's worries. Just a few ingredients. If needed, cutting them all is just a piece of cake!

Komutae was a little surprised:

"Really! You are very skilled at this kind of thing. Then I'll leave the work of cutting Berries to you."

I didn't expect Doublade to have this ability. Komutae thought that after it was given to the knight by the ancient king, it would only chop people. Chopping melons and cutting vegetables, is that how it's understood?

But this way it will be easier!

"Yo!"

Doublade heard Komutae's praise, and the flame of fighting spirit seemed to burn in its single eye!

ㄟㄏ!

The ⊥ latest ⊥ novel ⊥ is ⊥ first ⊥ published ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥!

New king, you've seen it! It's not that I'm not powerful, but that your strength is above mine, but if it comes to cutting vegetables, of course I'm better!

As for that cheap kitchen knife, evolve once before coming to the kitchen!

The next day, June 7th.

Weather, sunny.

The early summer rain stopped, the sun rose, and this ancient land officially ushered in a moment of revival.

I slept very comfortably, and the fatigue of yesterday was swept away. Komutae tidied up the bed and glanced at the time.

07:35.

It's a beautiful morning.

Doublade was not put into the Poké Ball. This guy was standing sideways in the corner, with the tip of the sword touching the ground and the hilt against the gap in the corner. Just like the soldiers of the past would put their weapons diagonally on the edge of the corner for easy access, Doublade seemed to retain this habit.

Komutae looked at the closed-eyed ancient sword and pondered for a moment.

Should I make a weapon rack?

In the Pokémon world, there is a profession that studies Pokémon ecology. Professor Birch and Professor Juniper are leaders in this field.

Different types of Pokémon have different lifestyles they like. Although Doublade gave me the example of the Sword in the Stone yesterday, I don't think any weapons really like being stuck on ancient brick, and then enduring thousands of years of wind and sun.

Even Zacian's tool, the 'Rusted Sword', rotted after 3000 years of time. That's a real hero's sword, and it turned out like this, let alone other ordinary ancient swords.

Today is still a busy day.

The house, the warehouse, and the work area all need to be整理, and the same goes for the land outside.

Komutae first went to the warehouse and took out a board and a machine.

In outdoor activities, one of the necessary items is a portable solar power supply.

He came outside the workshop, turned on the machine, bathed in the sun, and stored enough electricity.

It is a certain distance from the village, but not very far. There is a large area of land in front of the door, weeds that cannot be named, stones of various sizes, and some branches that I don’t know where the wind blew from.

It rained yesterday so I couldn't see the situation in the distance clearly. Today it is sunny, Komutae looked around and thought of the map on the wall.

The tall ancient spirit peak and the ruins temple, the distant village, and the several natural dirt roads and gaps leaving the valley.
