It Seems the Different World Transfer is Over Capacity

Chapter 25: Now, To the Market! (2)

Just a heads up:
I'm not splitting the chapters into parts, the author did. There's a total of 4 chapters dedicated to the market and each chapter contains 1,500-2,000 words. I'm leaving each as a separate chapter and we're in Arc 2 which I assume is the Town Arc because all the author wrote was 第2章(Chapter/section 2).

When I left the store, only Lina-san and Fina-san were there.

"Ara, welcome back. Did you buy what you wanted?"

"Yes. Um... where are Gil-san and Bucket-san?"

"Those two went to look for new weapons. It's to replace the ones they broke at the Abyssal Forest."

"I see"

I'd like a weapon too, but I'm not sure a normal one would be suitable with my physical abilities. I guess making one myself is better.

<I agree with your idea>

Even Haku says so. If that's the case, I'll need some iron ore... well, I'll look for those in the future. Besides I already have a sword*.

*I think she made a wooden sword in a previous chapter... out of an entire tree 🌲

"So, what are we going to do now?"

"Right, I still need some seasonings."

"Seasonings... I know a good store. Follow me."

"Yes!"

I followed Lina-san and Fina-san while looking at the shops around us. I also bought a few items I wanted along the way.

"It's here"

Lina-san stopped and pointed to the store in front of her. It felt more like a spice shop than a seasoning one. We went in without delay and looked at the goods.

"Ah, this..."

As I was looking around I spotted a cube around an inch long, brownish in color. Could it be?

Name: Consommé

I knew it! But I didn't think they were sold in cubes...

"Oh, that's consommé. It comes from a long, thin fruit that grows on a consommé tree."

"Eh, really?"

"Yes indeed"

What can I say... it's another world after all. I don't care whether the consommé comes from a tree or not as long as it tastes the same.

"Wait a second, there's also something that looks like pepper."

Name: Pepper

Apparently, the names of the seasonings here are the same as the ones on Earth. What I found was black pepper, the kind where the tiny fruits are just dried. Didn't they have mills or anything of the sort?

"Um, do you have a tool to grind this into a powder?"

I asked the Obaa-san tending to the store.

"Into a powder? You're supposed to use the pepper as it is."

...So they just use it like this. There's nothing wrong with that, but the taste is stronger when it's crushed. For the time being, I'll find a substitute for the mill. Worst case scenario, I'll make one myself. I don't know the specifics of how it works, but I think I'll manage somehow.

"ahhhh, I can't get curry spices now..."

I've made the spices from curry before so it's not hard, but the ingredients I have on hand aren't enough.
