I Refuse to Try to Max Out Any Stat So I’ll Just Start Finding My Own Way Around! A Healer That Doesn’t Specialize in Anything, Separates From His Friends, and Goes on His Own Journey

n the outside of the orc meat.
Cutting the meat into two steaks about three centimeters thick, and cut it into cubes from there.

 

 

　Moving the meat from the bottom of the pot, I put the fatty meat I had just cut into the pot which I returned to the front and dumped all the remaining fat into the fire.
As I held the pot over the fire and waited for a while, watching the fat bouncing around in the fire, the fat started to release oil with a fragrant smell and bouncing around in the pot as well.
This is lard.

 

 

“…well, is this considered lard?”

 

 

　Lard is a type of pork fat.
But I’m not sure if it’s okay to call orc fat lard just because it looks like a pig…

 

　Just as you can’t treat a werewolf as a dog, you can’t treat an orc as a pig.
I was wondering if pigs exist in this world in the first place, or if the fat of a Great Boar or a boar is lard, and other unimportant things.

　I put my hand into the bag of salt, lightly picked it up, and sprinkled it on the meat, enjoying the sound and smell of the meat sizzling.

 

　Then, I took out the magic bag and pulled out that thing.
That’s right, the rice paddle from the orc!

 

　Using the paddle, I rolled the meat around in the pot and sprinkled salt on it again.

 

 

“Stirring the orc meat with the rice paddle from the orc…”

 

 

　While being a little impressed by the coincidence, I cooked the meat thinking that it would have been perfect if the pan also came out of the orc.

 

 

“Is it about time?”

 

 

　The surface of the diced Orc meat was browned… very brown… a little charred… no, it’s a little overcooked… probably.
I think I overcooked it a little, just in case there were any parasites or anything like that, but that’s okay.

 

　I take out my knife, quickly purify it, stab the meat, and carefully put it in my mouth.
If I make a mistake, should I put on a mask and ask around “Am I beautiful?” will I have to attack people too? [T/N: This is a reference to the “split-mouth woman” or “口裂け女” a monster from Japanese folklore.]

 

 

“Woah, this is delicious!”

　As I chewed, the meat juices overflowed from inside and spread to my mouth.

 

　There is a smokey aroma and sweetness from the meaty juices.
There’s also the nice salty taste.

 

　Even if I subtract my over-correction since it is a bit too burnt, the correction I did and the corrections I did due to the outdoors are have turned into positives and I got a home run.

 

　…But.

 

 

“I want another taste.”

 

 

　I can’t help but feel that it’s missing something by Earth standards, something is not enough even with the standards of the inns.
Pepper is probably would not be enough if I take into knowledge from Earth.
However, spices are expensive.
They wouldn’t be used in the usual inns.
If so, the flavors might have been added by something else like using herbs instead of spices.

 

 

“It might be interesting to find some.”

 

 

 

　Thinking about my new, small goal, I popped the next piece of meat into my mouth.
