Chapter 30: Absolutely Horrendous
Clay chewed for a while before covering his mouth and abruptly standing up to make a dash for the open window.
After reaching the window, Clay opened his mouth and immediately spat out what he had chewed.
Frankly, what Clay had cooked was not suitable for human consumption, it tasted like the culmination of burnt food and discarded trash from all over the world combined into one dish, not that Clay knew what it tasted like.
Clay went to the kitchen to chug some water afterward as the after-taste was still lingering.
'How can something that smells so good taste so bad' Clay thought while gasping for air as he still remembered what it tasted like when he was chewing.
'I definitely can't finish the food' Clay resolved to throw away the food.
He went to his room to fetch his map, once he had gotten the map he walked over to the food that he had cooked and prepared to discard it.
Clay searched around in his map for an area where he could dispose of his food, and soon he found a suitable place to throw the abomination he had cooked up.
Clay teleported to a farm somewhere in the Adurep Kingdom, more specifically, a pig pen, he then threw away the food that was on the plate he had brought with him before searching his village in the map so he could teleport back.
As Clay was still searching for his village, the pigs in the pen had already smelled the food that had suddenly appeared behind them. The pigs turned around to see not only the food but also a human in their territory.
Intimidated by the human intruding in their territory, the pigs made a valiant charge toward the human, to which the latter only noticed once the pigs were within ten meters.
Clay watched with widened eyes as the pigs were running full speed toward him, he had already clicked on the teleport button but the actual teleportation would occur moments after clicking as Clay would have to turn into light first.
Clay fell down, landing on his butt and putting his hands in front of his face in fear when he saw the approaching pigs.
They were quite scary, as multiple 100kg pigs were rushing toward him.
Just as the pig in the lead was about to headbutt Clay, the pig was confused to find that it had hit air instead of the human it had been expecting. It looked around for a while before forgetting that a human was in its territory due to the food oddly appetizing smell of the food that was beside it.
..

Clay reappeared in his room, still on his butt and hands still in front of his face with his eyes shut tight bracing for the collision.
He sat in silence for a while before snapping out of his stupor.
"H-heh, heheheh" Clay nervously chuckled at his near-death experience, grateful that he was in one piece.
Patting his body, Clay stood up and wiped the sweat off his brows.
Clay sat on his bed to calm down before he started off his day.
Taking a deep breath, Clay walked up to his desk to prepare the stall.
4 hours later.
Clay did some stretching before proceeding to count his haul for today.
"10 Silts, 20 Sil-oh its Cits I forgot, 10 Cits, 20 cits..." Clay was confused about which was which but soon resumed counting again.
"That makes 30 Silts and 80 Cits today, hmm, quite the decrease in customers" Clay sighed.
"I guess I'll give 10 Silts to Mom and save the rest for the materials" Clay decided.
Clay dragged his deflated body to the living room, getting exactly 10 Silts before placing it on the table.
"CLAY!" Belle shouted from her room.
"Yeah?" Clay replied as he heard footsteps approaching him.
"Can I use your map pretty please" Belle appeared and pleaded him.
"Huh? For what?" Clay raised his eyebrow.
"Uhh, its for n-nothing" Belle fidgeted her fingers.
The corner of Clay's lips curled up for a moment before it disappeared.
"Oho, please do tell, because you surely are not going to use my map for 'nothing' right?" Clay tried prying more info out of his sister.
"I-its a secret" Belle stuttered out, getting more and more suspicious as her eyes darted around the room.
He narrowed his eyes at her.
"On second thought, n-nevermind" Belle ran away to her room before losing the door.
"Hrmm, now this is interesting" Clay mused as he stroked his imaginary beard.
'The only thing that could make my dear sister act like this is puberty'
'Perhaps she has a crush on someone and wants to use my map to spy on them?'
Clay felt that it was possible as he had also experienced puberty, the early stages at least.
'I can confirm my suspicions later anyway, I have my map so finding what she's doing is easy, all I have to do is wait'
Clay looked outside noticing that it was just past noon.
____________________________________________________________________________________
A seemingly small turtle was wandering around in space, it looked small but it was anything but that, it just seemed small because of the vastness of space.
It had been traveling about for a while, floating forward in the expanse of space. It looked like a tortoise but it was definitely a turtle due to its flippers for legs. The turtle had a broad and wide shell with strange runic patterns, the shell was colored mostly jet-black with faint purple hues glowing between the patterns. Its actual skin was also black but not too black to the point that it looks exactly like its shell, the skin color around the eyes was much more light compared to others, and it also had a beak like a snapping turtle's. The turtle had been floating for the past few decades searching for a suitable planet to stay in.
Soon, the turtle's eyes opened, revealing its golden-white pupils that slightly shone in the darkness of space.
It had detected that there was a planet nearby due to the gravitational force that had tried pulling it. Revealing an eerily human-like joyous expression, the turtle turned its body toward the direction the gravity was pulling it to, hoping that the planet was suitable.
