I Was Summoned To Be Sold as a Son-in-Law - I Was Summoned To Be Sold as a Son-in-Law chapter 46

46 – Tasting

“Master, I am hungry…”

As I sit and rest for a moment, Baekdori, who has spread out like slime, whines next to me.

Last time I was on the verge of death, I managed to create an ice spear, and the problem of rehydration was solved.

But the problem of food is still not resolved.

Because of this, Baekdori and I have been unintentionally fasting for more than three days.

As I continued to walk for more than half a day each day, my hunger got even worse.

‘Now that I think about it, this guy must have lived quite luxuriously.’

After I picked up Baekdori, he enjoyed a fairly luxurious diet.

The dining table of Marquess Anderson, one of the most prestigious families in the kingdom.

There was no way it wasn’t luxurious.

There was no feeling of unnecessary extravagance, but the ingredients were of the highest quality and the chef was top-notch.

The diet that paid perfect attention to nutritional distribution gave me a satisfaction that I could not get tired of.

I think about it often, but the thing I liked the most after being forcibly summoned was eating.

Baekdori also enjoyed the same foods.

When it is meal time for the Anderson family, Carol carries Baekdol to her dining room.

The family, including me, ate at the large table while having simple conversations, and Baekdori ate on the ground around it.

However, it is not like you spend some time and mix it in one bowl like you would any other dog food.

The menu items that our family eats are placed on each plate and laid out on the floor.

Baekdori wraps his cute bib around his body, puts his head down on her plate, and eats it all the time.

For reference, Carol made the bib herself and stubbornly wears it to Baekdol.

Carol stands up in the restaurant because she even helps her.

As he continues to glance at Baekdori eating, his expressionless expression becomes relaxed.

Anyway, since he used to live such a luxurious life, such a long fast may feel unfamiliar to him now.

Of course I am.

I don’t remember ever fasting for more than two days in my life.

‘How much longer can I endure…’

I think I saw somewhere on the internet that it could last for two weeks, but I’m continuing to walk now.

‘Will I be able to last 1 week… The most urgent thing is sodium intake…’

If I could consume at least salt, the period would be a little longer, but right now, there is no way to even get salt.

‘The good news is…’

I massaged my belly fat.

Because I was eating so well at Marquis, I gained some weight recently, but that was a fortunate factor among my misfortune.

‘I missed a lot these past few days, but…’

Fasting + half-day walking. If you practice this, your belly fat will decrease day by day.

‘Once this sh*t goes down, it’s really dangerous from then on…’

Baekdori’s subspace has already been confirmed.

There was nothing worth eating.

I check my belongings again just in case.

‘The only things I own are clothes and a dagger…’

All my belongings, including my magic bracelet, were stolen by those unknown men.

My eyes, which were examining my body, stop at the shoes I was wearing.

‘I think I saw somewhere that leather products can be eaten…’

But in this situation where you don’t know how long you will have to walk, eating shoes would be a crazy act.

‘Now that I think about it, there was another piece of leather.’

A belt tied around the waist.

It was clearly a leather product.

I was thinking while adjusting my belt.

‘But it’s still worth it, so let’s endure it. It may be treated with some kind of medication or something, and if you eat it and get sick, then it’s really over.’

“Let’s try moving again.”

Get up and start walking again, heading southwest.

Baekdori follows, sobbing.

————————————————————-

-Hwareuk, Hwareuk, tadak, tadak…

The sound of fire rising and the sound of something being cooked.

I am currently threading a piece of leather belt onto a dagger and roasting it over a fire.

After just one day of putting off eating the belt, I raised the white flag.

I walked for 8 hours, but all I could see was still a wasteland.

‘It seems like we’ve already moved close to 100 kilometers, but how much further do we have to go before the scenery changes…’

Even though I keep walking in one direction and walk endlessly, the scenery doesn’t seem to change.

I think the speed of the carriage I was kidnapped into was faster than I thought.

‘It must have been a carriage with some kind of magic.’

It’s not surprising anymore.

‘Anyway, this dagger is amazing…’

It is made entirely of metal from the blade to the handle, but it does not heat up even if the fire continues to touch it.

It doesn’t get hot, let alone lukewarm, and it’s still cold.

‘What kind of metal is this… Oh my, it’s burning.’

I didn’t want to eat the charcoal, so I quickly raised the dagger.

As it is a leather product, I expected it to be extremely tough, so I baked it to its limit.

I take a bite.

-Squishy…

It is also incredibly tough and hard.

‘If you don’t, you can’t use it as a belt material.’

After chewing until my jaw hurt, I could barely get through it.

-Gulp.

“Ugh…”

It was really tasteless.

But what can I do? First, you have to survive and see.

I took out a piece of the dagger with my hand and held it out to Baekdori who was spread out next to me.

“Eat.”

I thought he would complain since his mouth had become so sophisticated, but surprisingly, Baekdori happily accepted it and ate it without making a sound.

In my case, I tried all sorts of things to fill my hungry stomach, including soaking it in water in my mouth, cutting it into smaller pieces with a dagger, and swallowing it with a spoon.

“At this rate, I can probably last a few more days.”

Baekdori’s jaw strength was stronger than expected, and he ate the food with ease while I was eating the food.

“Then let’s see…”

Sleep when the sun is up to maintain body temperature.

“Come here.”

Just like I have been doing for the past few days, I hug Baekdori and go to sleep.

Because it was late fall, it was quite chilly even during the day.

‘I hope the scenery changes tomorrow…’

—————————————————

“I survived.”

Tears form in the corners of my eyes.

From Noble mtl dot com

The wish I made before going to sleep yesterday has come true.

When I started to feel dizzy due to lack of sodium, I saw a green light on the horizon ahead.

The more I walked, the more green plants there became, and eventually a place that could be called a meadow appeared.

And….

“Moore…More…”

A herd of animals comes into view in the distance.

“Is that… Soji?”

I talk to myself without even realizing it.

In order to prevent unnecessary waste of physical strength, Baekdori is placed in a subspace while moving, so there is no one to answer.

There appear to be dozens of red cows.

The curved horns look stylish.

I swallowed hard.

“It looks delicious…”

It looks like a water buffalo or bison, but wouldn’t it be similar when grilled?

On the 5th day of fasting, I even traveled more than 100 kilometers in that condition.

I was not only hungry, but also felt my life was in danger, so I turned around slightly.

I’m thinking about hunting down that large herd that looks like it weighs hundreds of kilograms.

The good news is that we have the means to hunt.

This is not the cute dagger in my hand.

An attack magic using the magic power contained in this dagger.

I decided to use the level 3 magic ice spear, which is the most powerful magic I can use right now.

‘You only get two chances.’

That was the limit of the dagger’s magic power.

It uses the scattered weeds to hide itself.

Very slow with low crawl.

When I got 15 meters in front of the herd of cows, I stopped moving and cast a spell without chanting.

A 2 meter long ice spear is created and held in the hand.

‘Please get it right.’

Up until this point, I had only melted it and eaten it, but had never thrown it towards the target.

The good news is that, like the Olympic javelin throw, the throw is not based on physical ability.

Set a goal and send it flying with magical power.

If you fail, make a spear in your left hand so that you can immediately make a second hit.

‘You won’t be able to break through it all at once’

I know that buffalo leather is thick.

Stretch your hands forward.

It flew.

-Whoop!

The ice spear made a heavy sound and flew at a much faster speed than I expected.

– Fuuk!

Even from afar, the sound of leather being pierced can be heard loudly.

“Mooooo!

The startled cows quickly run away as a group.

After the herd was far enough away, I got up and approached the prey.

“Wow…..”

The power of the ice spear was enormous.

It was sticking out through the side of the buffalo on the other side.

This is the first time using attack magic on a living creature.

And this is my first time killing something other than bugs.

The cow pierced by the spear was slowly dying, with its eyes wide and occasionally twitching.

“Is this wild…?”

I felt bitter in my mouth, but I told myself that I had no choice if I wanted to survive.

“I have to get the blood out first.”

Using the vague knowledge I had about slaughter that I had seen and heard somewhere, I started dismembering the cow.

Fortunately, it didn’t take much effort to lift the dagger like crazy.

“Wow…. It’s a sight to behold”

First slaughter done by a beginner. What can I say about that tragedy?

I wrapped the meat with weed, focusing on large cuts.

“Come back and come out”

I put the pieces of meat into the subspace, leaving only enough food for the two of us.

The temperature in subspace is so cold that you will probably freeze.

With this, survival was guaranteed for a while.

-Crack…Crack…Crack…

The sun is slowly setting.

Baekdori and I are staring at each other in front of the bonfire, drooling freely.

“Is there still a long way to go!?”

“It’s done.”

Beef grilled on a branch cut from a nearby low tree.

Share a piece with Baekdori and take a bite.

A liquid other than saliva was flowing from my eyes.
