Cool D&D reference! If it resembles the Tarasque that I know, our shiki MC is doomed lolol.

One does not merely fight The Tarasque. You can't even incapacitate it without direct divine intervention.

Yeah, for once a translator's note was needed. Dude was watching daybreak outdoors, came in, and wondered if it's going to snow. Okay, makes sense, it must have felt like a really cold morning. The witch tells him not to be an idiot. Hmm... Maybe the season is wrong and there's no way it's going to snow, after all. Then she continues that she can cook, at least. Umm... Right. What has that got to do with it snowing or not? Thankfully the TN explained it's apparently an idiom from Okinawa, or something, where it never snows. I imagine folks from the northern parts of Japan would be exactly as baffled as anyone else.
More importantly, it's quite funny Lento was for a decade held in high esteem at the guild for dramatically reducing the death rate of newbie adventurers by giving them invaluable information and lessons, yet now he doesn't suspect for a moment an unknown wood-and-rope bridge in the middle of a poisonous swamp could possibly be rotten.

Welcome to Miyazakiland! Where we find the area of his dreams
wonder if she also put snails and puppy dog tails xD . i figured the blood from his delicious comment and edel chowing down. but dang she's really just seeing what he can and cant eat lol.
i just thought the snowing comment was because she was cooking for once. its a thing where i'm from too basically when something crazy or unusual happens, usually a person doing something unexpected or rare for them you reply with something like "its going to rain/snow" or something similar that would be very unlikely at the time.
edel just doing his own thing lol.

For anyone confused, when Lento asked if it "was going to snow today" he wasn't actually trying to ask about the weather. He was asking a rhetorical question which, as the tl note stated, was equivalent in meaning to asking if pigs were going to start flying.
I realize that all of that is a bit confusing, so I'll give an example of a way the interaction between the two could be refrased:
Lento walks in and sees Lorraine cooking. Lento, in reaction to this, Lento jokes that he didn't know she could cook. Lorraine responds by saying that she can cook basic dishes.
She then reveals that she isn't cooking a basic dish. The humor of this interaction is furthered shortly after when Lento exclaims that the food is good and saying that he didn't think that food would taste so good.
This shows that Lento couldn't have expected the meal to be so scrumptious. This in turn means that his expectations were, at most, not set very high, despite the high quality of ingredients and when this is coupled with the later revelation that Lorraine had included blood, which Lento, a zombie (or whatever you call it) would naturally find to be of good taste, it implies to the reader that Lorraine is actually total shit at cooking and Lento doesn't notice because of the blood's effect. Ironically, as a result of this perceived good taste, Lento mentions how he feels more human, not knowing that this perceived good taste is a direct result and indicator of his newfound inhuman body.
Coincidentally, in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein...oh dear, it would seem like I've spent way to fucking long writing this, I'm afraid I can't continue any longer.
