Soon after Reefa returned, Chisato and Mel returned with plates and drinks with food on both hands.
Quickly, sitting in our seats, we decided to have a slightly late lunch in the streets where people were becoming more numerous.
"Honestly, the first thing that struck me about coming to this world was the food situation."
"I know."
"I knew you too, Kite?"
Nodding at the words of Chisato, who said so while loosening up the fish beautifully.
Schiff and Reefa are eating the meal in front of them in a selfless fashion.
"The world I lived in was delicious, but it's delicious here, too."
"Oh. Sometimes it's just like seasoning, but it's good to have ingredients and dishes we don't know about."
"Is the cuisine in Chisato and Kate's world that different from this one?"
I answer that question to Mel. [M]
"Well, that makes a lot of difference, but it doesn't change that delicious things are delicious."
"Heh, I'm just curious"
Mel looking interested.
Seeing her like that, Chisato, who is face to face, smiles with a groan.
"In our world, there are areas where insects are cooked and eaten."
"Ah!? Bugs!? That would be just a lie!?, Mr. Kite"
"Huh? Um, I've eaten sea urchin tenderloin... but there are other bee kids, bugs, etc."
I could eat without any resistance when I was little, Inago tenderloin.
The taste is sweet, similar to the little fish with almonds that come out for lunch, but it looks good.
Exactly. Even animal lovers can't eat even bugs.
"Hey, Chisato."
"Huh? Yeah. Right."
Why are you distracted when you're told the story?
Do you feel like you know there's an edible bug, but you didn't know that at the heart of it?
"Speaking of which, Kite, are you avoidable by insects?"
"Oh, yeah."
You tried to change the subject, Chisato asks me that.
Nodding at it, she looks envious.
"I usually envy that. 'Cause mosquitoes... cockroaches... those black chicks aren't even coming over, are they?"
"It's one of the few things I'm proud of that I've never been stung by a bee or a mosquito. And what the fuck is that?"
"Huh!? You don't even know it exists!? Oh yeah! He won't even show up because he won't stop by...!"
Huh, human mosquito repellent incense is exactly what I am.
No, when I was in elementary school, they used to give me that nickname.
Instead, I couldn't even make contact with beetles and wasps.
Bugs, too.
It's cool.
"Mr. Mel. Are you with a monster of worms?"
"It's mealtime, so let's not talk about this"
"Oh, excuse me"
You remind me of something. I blush my face. Mel pisses me off.
It wasn't really about talking during the meal. I need to reflect.
I think so and cheek the fish skewer I took in my hand as I mouthed the beverage at hand.
Beneath the shaken skin of salt, you are stuffed with a thick flesh, which adds to your appetite.
Fish I don't know, but it's delicious enough to make me think I don't care about that.
"... All right"
Pick the green citrus fruit cut into rings that are served on the plate.
Sprinkle it in two and drain the juice into the white body where the hot air rises, and stick to it.
At first sip, the taste of isolation runs through my mouth.
A flavor that makes you feel unparalleled sweetness and acidity, unlike lemons.
It brings out roasted fish to such an extent that it seems calculated, and I can't help but be roared at.
"Mr. Kite?"
"... Ha. Sorry, what is it?"
"No, because I was eating it with something amazing in my face..."
He seemed obsessed with the food in front of him.
Somehow, I may be finding pleasure in the act of eating like this since I came to this world.
Bo, I keep thinking about that, and I keep eating fish.
Yeah, yummy.
I can do as many as I want.
Speaking of which, Chisato.
"Yeah? What, Reefa?"
As it was, even concentrating on the fish at hand, Reefa was speaking to Chisato.
"I heard the demon was in a hurry, but has that been going on for a long time?"
"No, it was only recently activated. Kite, I think it was about the time you guys came to the kingdom. Then a powerful demon will appear, and the Alliance and kingdom will deal with it in a hurry."
"... is the Demon King Army doing something again?"
Reefa looks at me and asks.
Activation of demons.
Speaking of just coincidences, I can clean it up with that, but when it comes to involving a troublemaker named Demon King Army, it's all coincidental and inseparable.
"I don't think we can abandon the possibility"
"Well, you should be able to move whenever something happens."
Though not publicly proclaimed, Reefa is a brave man.
If the Demon King wants to do something, we move.
"Demon King Army. Hey. I wonder if you can say anything from me."
"What perception does the Kingdom of Filgen have of the Demon King's Army?"
Do you have a sense of crisis or something compared to the Hendill side?
To a question caged with such intent, Chisato is delayed in his thoughts with his hands on his chin.
"Hmm, no sense of crisis? I guess I feel relaxed because I think the Demon King Army won't be moving soon. Kings over here, because there's a little bit of optimism."
"Mr. Chisato!? So you don't know who's listening!"
"You need to exchange information like this."
"Yes, indeed..."
No sense of crisis, huh?
That might be a little dangerous.
"Kite, we're talking about you and Reefa having contact with the Demon King's Army, right?"
"Yeah. Gorilla attacked me"
"Oh, gorilla?"
"Come on, that's not gonna make sense."
Confused Chisato.
Exactly. This doesn't convey anything, so I'll explain it instead of Reefa.
"I was attacked by Reefa's sister, a Demon King's Army executive. Well, I managed to repel him then."
"Your sister is a Demon King's Army executive. Reefa's in trouble too."
"To the brave sister, the sister of the Demon King's Army executive... That's a sisterhood..."
If you ask me, it's a pretty complicated relationship.
Well, Nea wouldn't even care about that.
They're after Kate, too.
"... uh, why?"
"Um, because Kate has the magic of a pure demon, he's after it."
When Schiff explains that instead of me, Chisato and Mel have a bewildered but convincing look on their face.
"But pure demon magic was a rare magic, wasn't it? My magic teacher and my men were also very interested..."
"It's good magic in that it's easy for demons to like you, but it's a physique that attracts trouble inside when degrees pass. Well, as a Tamer, it's definitely a first-rate quality."
Honestly, I don't know much about pure demon magic either.
I know it's just magical power with high purity of magic, avoided by animals, and easily likeable properties by demons, but I have no idea what else.
Just magic to be sacrificed by demons, until then...
The conversation is interrupted as it is, and time passes for each to eat while chatting.
When I was running out of food left on my plate, Chisato talked to me.
"Did you study reading and writing, Kate?"
"Of course I do. I have to remember, they treated me like a poor man."
"Oh yeah..."
Reading and writing were essential in living as adventurers.
So thanks to studying little by little, I am now able to read and write somewhat.
... although the letters feel a little like mites.
"So... read a book or something?"
"Book?"
That's what he asks and reminds me that Chisato was the one who liked books.
Shortly before I was summoned, I liked it so much that I was reading books while it rained, so I guess.
I myself read the novel to the extent I was fond of it, so I nodded at her words.
"Yeah, I'll read it normally"
"Yes. Oh well... yes..."
What makes use of those three steps?
Tilting her neck to Chisato, who whines so emotionally somewhere, she looks up as if she had made up her mind.
"So you're interested in castle books or something?"
"What, of the castle? Is there anything there?"
"I have all kinds of books. You know, ancient God-beasts, demonic books, maybe you're interested, too, Kate."
"... um, I might be interested"
Most importantly, you want to go from looking up at me with the kind of eyes that Schiff would expect.
Nodding at her words, blah, brighten her expression all the time.
"Mmm!"
Reefa, who watched the exchange silently, had a muddled look on his face as if one day.
