I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

.................................................................................

After accepting the old man's request, Yhwach began searching for the three temples on the plateau that the old man had mentioned. However, before that, Yhwach used the teleportation function of the Sheikah Stone, which the old man had taught him to use, to return to the tower. But just as Yhwach arrived at the tower, the old man's laughter came from beside him. Yhwach looked in the direction of the sound and saw the old man, who had just been near the temple, now standing on the tower.

This also startled Yuhaka.

"Losing to an old man like me, it seems your speed isn't fast enough, kid."

Hearing the old man's words, Yuhaka circled around him with a puzzled expression, as if trying to figure out how the old man had arrived at the tower faster than him. What happened to the promised spatial teleportation?

Could it be that this old man also uses spatial teleportation?

Of course, the old man didn't tell Yuhaka this secret. Later, the old man taught Yuhaka how to use the telescope and map pointer functions of the Sheikah Stone. Through these functions, Yuhaka also learned how to mark the location on the map.

After marking the temples, Yuhaka looked at the old man and said:

"Youyou, it's marked~"

Hearing what Yuhaka said, the old man nodded and said:

"Oh~ well done, kid. But be careful, the trials at these three temples are different each time, so you need to be cautious."

After hearing the old man's advice, Yuhaka nodded to show that he understood, and then jumped down from the tower under the old man's gaze.

"?!"

The old man was also surprised to see Yhaka jump down from the tower. After a loud "thud" as he landed, the old man quickly went to the edge of the tower and looked down. At the bottom of the tower, in addition to the crater in the shape of Yhaka, there was now another hollow in the shape of Yhaka. However, Yhaka quickly climbed out of the crater unharmed. After dusting himself off, Yhaka ran towards the nearest temple.

After witnessing this scene, the old man wiped away a cold sweat. To be honest, he was terrified when Yuhaka suddenly jumped off the tower.

"Um...should we give the hang glider to that child sooner rather than later...?"

Just as the old man was thinking this, Yuhaka arrived at a ruin.

In these ruins, Yuhaka looked at the huge thing in front of him that resembled the disc robot that had hit him on the head before. However, unlike the round robots he had seen before, this robot was much larger and had many long legs. In terms of shape, it looked like an upside-down ice cream cup.

"Warning!"

Yuhaka approached the giant robot with a wary look and touched it with his foot, but there was clearly no response. It was like a toy without batteries. The large amount of vegetation covering it also clearly indicated that this giant robot had not moved for a long time.

Seeing that the robot in front of him was not moving, Yuhaka felt relieved and walked over to the giant robot.

However, after passing through that giant robot, Yuhaka encountered another giant robot. But unlike the previous one, this giant robot had no legs, and almost half of its body was buried underground. Just as Yuhaka was about ten meters away from it, the giant robot suddenly trembled.

"OwO?!"

Startled, Yuhaka immediately looked at the giant robot that had just trembled. The trembling robot then raised its head slightly, revealing the eerily glowing gear mechanism inside and staring at Yuhaka with its single, luminous eye.

Upon seeing this, Yuhaka also showed a wary expression. It was clear that Yuhaka had remembered the lesson of being smeared in the face last time. Soon, a beam of red laser shot out from the giant robot's eye and was aimed at Yuhaka. Yuhaka looked down at the red light on her chest and was stunned for a moment. However, this time Yuhaka was smarter. She did not foolishly wait for the other party to attack.

Instead, he rushed up to the giant robot, grabbed its head, and forcefully flipped it off. The robot's head spun a few times in the air before crashing to the ground with a thud. The eerie light in its eyes dimmed, indicating that it was broken.

Afterwards, Yuhaka removed the heads of the giant, moving robots one by one before finally feeling relieved enough to enter the temple.

Using the method taught to him by Zelus, Yuhaka successfully arrived at the underground space beneath the temple. As soon as Yuhaka entered the space, he heard a sound similar to the one he had heard before.

【O visitor to the temple, I am G. Bashif, and I will test you in the name of the goddess Hylia.】

After saying that, Yuhka heard the voice say nothing more. Then, Yuhka looked around to see what was there. Soon, Yuhka found a cylindrical device and an obelisk-like object on the side. He cleverly placed the Sheikah Stone on it.

Chapter 601 [Youyou: I feel like this is unnecessary]

As the obelisk-like device atop the cylindrical apparatus dripped a drop of water emitting white light, the Sheikah Stone on the cylindrical apparatus also glowed briefly. Yuhaka, who was lying on the cylindrical apparatus, looked at what was displayed on the Sheikah Stone. This time, the Sheikah Stone had two new icons: one that looked like a circle and the other that looked like a square.

The name displayed on them is "Remote Control Bomb".

Seeing this, Yuhaka tilted her head, clearly not quite understanding what it meant. However, she did know what a bomb was. After the Palico joined her tribe, Yuhaka learned from the Palico what a bomb was—a barrel that would "crack!"

After taking the Sheikah Stone out of the cylindrical device, Yhaka looked at the Sheikah Stone in his hand with its new functions. Curious, Yhaka took it out and tried clicking on the icon for the new function.

The moment Yuhaka tapped the button, a square block emitting a pale blue light appeared in her hand. Curious, Yuhaka looked at the bomb block in her hand, which was bigger than her head. Although she didn't know what it was, she knew that if it exploded, it would be very loud.

However, just as Yhaka was about to retrieve the square bomb, he suddenly realized that this thing... seemed impossible to retrieve... Yhaka was immediately left with a bewildered expression...

As Yhwach was about to throw the block bomb into his dimensional portal, Zelus, standing nearby, looked on helplessly and said to Yhwach:

"You little idiot, couldn't you have dropped the bomb somewhere else?"

Hearing Zelus's words, Yuhaka also looked up at Zelus's system panel and said:

"No, you can't litter."

Yuhaka's words made Zelus slap her forehead and say to Yuhaka:

"My God... I'm telling you, you little idiot, that thing you're carrying up is trash, it's a bomb, it's a dangerous item."

After hearing Zelus's explanation, Yuhaka blinked and said "Oh," looking as if he suddenly understood. Zelus then said to Yuhaka:

"See those two rocks over there that are about to crumble? Just throw the bomb over there."

"Hey~"

As Yuhaka threw the bomb at the two rocks, the bombs exploded upon impact, shattering the large rock into fragments.

"Wow o(OωO)o~"

Upon witnessing this, Yhaka let out a gasp of surprise, but he quickly recalled that he could have easily smashed those rocks with a single punch.

Thinking about it this way, Yuhaka suddenly wondered why he wanted the bomb.

In an instant, Yhaka felt that the bomb in his hand wasn't so appealing anymore, but he quickly stopped thinking about it. After entering the T-shaped passage, Yhaka found two square stones that were about to crumble. He then raised his little fist and punched the stones hard. However, instead of seeing the stones being shattered as he had imagined, he saw his hand poking into the stones like he was stabbing tofu. The stones didn't break; they remained square.

“O-O......”

Then, Yuhaka pulled out his hand and slammed it into the rock again, just like before. Immediately, Yuhaka took out the bomb he had just used, took a few steps back, and then threw the block bomb towards the rock.

boom--!

With the sound of the block bomb exploding, the two stone blocks that had just blocked Yuhaka were also turned into a pile of rubble.

"OwO~?"

After seeing the rock destroyed by his own blast, Yuhaka showed a happy expression, clearly feeling very satisfied that the large rock that had been blocking his way had been blown away by the bomb.

After blowing up the two rocks, Yhwach found a treasure chest behind them. Inside the chest was an old two-handed sword, but it was of little use to Yhwach, since he already had Baradion and didn't really need any new weapons.

After taking the weapon, Yuhaka went to another location. Just like the previous intersection, it was blocked by stones. Yuhaka took out his bomb and threw it at the stones. With the sound of the bomb exploding, a new road appeared at the intersection.

After climbing a ladder, Ehaka arrived at a strange place. In front of him was a platform that moved back and forth, and on the other side of the platform were several stones blocking the way. Ehaka used his terrifying strength to throw a block bomb he had formed at the stones. Although it was thrown, with Ehaka's monstrous strength, the block bomb flew straight towards the stone wall like a cannonball and exploded on the stone wall.

After arriving, Yuhaka discovered a larger area. The underground space here was much larger than the temple he had visited before. At the same time, Yuhaka also noticed a structure on the opposite side that resembled an altar, on which sat a figure that looked like the mummy from last time.

Just as Yuhaka was about to run over, Zelus, who was standing nearby, quickly called out to Yuhaka:

"Stop right there! Finish the trial properly first!"

Upon hearing Zelus's words, Yuhaka was reminded of the trial he had created by someone called [Ga. Bashif].

So Yuhka looked around to see what was there. To his left, he saw two strange devices tossing a ball that was flashing red light back and forth. Yuhka couldn't figure out what they were doing. The device next to the one he had just found was a little different. There was only one of these devices, and there was a treasure chest on the platform opposite it.

"O-O Hmm..."

After thinking for a while, Yuhaka was also a little confused about what it meant, but after seeing the spheres being tossed around, Yuhaka roughly understood what the device was for.

Ehka was seated on another device, and with a powerful thrust, she was launched onto a high platform opposite where a treasure chest was located, allowing her to retrieve it...

Why not just skip over it...?

This is what Yuhaka was thinking, with an "O_O....." expression on his face.

Chapter 602 [Spicy Braised Seafood]

After getting the contents of the treasure chest, Yuhaka wasn't particularly interested in the beautiful amber in his hand, but he figured he could probably sell it for money.

After putting away the amber, Yuhaka went to the facility on the right. There was a similar catapult here, but this catapult had a hollow tube next to it, and on the opposite side of the catapult, there was a pile of square stones blocking the other side, as if there was something hidden there.

However, this was not difficult for Yhaka. Yhaka simply conjured a square bomb and threw it at the rocks. With a loud "BOOM!", the rocks turned into dust.

After blasting the rocks, Yuhaka climbed the ladder to the platform and blasted away the remaining rocks. Then, Yuhaka arrived at the altar-like place. After Yuhaka touched the blue energy field, the field shattered with a ding.

After the blue field shattered, Yuhaka heard a voice in his ear again.

I'm so glad you passed the test and made it here... Without a doubt, you are a true hero.

Upon hearing this, Yuhaka gave him a look that said, "This line seems familiar."

Now, in the name of the goddess Hylia, I bestow upon you the proof that you have passed the test.

As he spoke, the mummy named [Ga. Bashif] handed the proof of passing the test to Yuhaka, and like the previous mummy, turned into particles of light and disappeared from this world.

After obtaining the proof of passing the test, Yhaka returned to the ground. However, it was already dusk. Yhaka looked at the setting sun and then at the next temple in the distance before running towards it.

Just as Yuhaka was running towards the next temple, he saw a dilapidated-looking hut nearby, where he met the old man from before.

The old man saw Yohaka and laughed heartily, saying:

"We meet again, little friend."

Seeing the old man sitting on the ground near a pot, Yuhaka asked him curiously what he was doing. The old man replied:

"I'm a little tired, so I'll rest and warm myself by the campfire for a bit. Are you hungry? Feel free to use my cooking pot."

Hearing the old man's words, Yuhaka looked at the sun that was almost setting and realized it was time to make dinner. Although she had eaten dinner a few hours earlier, it didn't affect Yuhaka's appetite.

Then, Yuhaka pulled out a huge pile of kitchen utensils and a table from his dimensional portal. The old man was stunned by this sight; he clearly hadn't expected Yuhaka to bring out such a complete set of kitchenware. It was utterly astonishing...

After Yuhaka took out the cooking utensils, he began preparing the food. However, before starting, Yuhaka asked the old man what he wanted to eat. Upon hearing Yuhaka's question, the old man paused for a moment, then pointed to himself and said:

"Do I have a share too?"

Yuhaka nodded in agreement.

Then the old man said with a smile:

"Then I shall gladly accept your offer. By the way... little friend, do you have any seafood here (in the dimensional cave)?"

Hearing the old man's question, Yuhaka nodded to indicate that he did. Then, Yuhaka asked the old man what flavor he wanted. After thinking for a while, the old man told Yuhaka that he wanted spicy food, since eating spicy food would warm him up on a night like this.

After receiving the old man's request, Yuhaka thought about what to do, and then he figured out what to make.

Yuhaka took out several boxes from his dimensional portal. The old man looked into the boxes Yuhaka had taken out of the portal and saw that they were full of seafood, and all of it was alive.

A bead of cold sweat immediately trickled down the old man's forehead. He thought to himself, "Yohaka's dimensional portal really does contain all sorts of things..."

Yuhaka, however, did not notice the old man's shocked gaze. She was currently selecting suitable seafood, and then she picked out some shellfish and small octopuses.

The shellfish had already been purged of sand and washed beforehand, so they didn't need any further processing and could be used directly as food. The baby octopus, however, required the inedible parts to be removed. After processing, Yuhaka prepared to blanch the seafood.

Yuhaka placed a pot on the stove, poured in water, added some seasonings to remove the fishy smell, and waited for the water to boil. While the water was boiling, Yuhaka also prepared other seasonings, such as spicy braising sauce.
