Episode 52: The Bee Child

Now, the collection of the bee child.

The nest is below the ground. When I say there's an entrance to the nest hole, it's not big enough for humans to come in and work. Then it would be best to remove the soil. But if I was digging with tools, the sun would go down. Is it still the turn of spiritual magic here? Considering how I use it, I don't have to wonder if it's civil magic anymore. Speaking of which, I haven't used the Spirit Magic of Fire since I tried it at the training center... Sorry Salamander...

Ho ho. Anyway, let's get to work. Focusing on the entrance to the nest hole, it feels like spreading it slightly. It's a long fight because you can't dig it all at once.

Quinn, I need you to be on your perimeter.

I'll leave the beast alert to Quinn, and I'll sneak into the dirt dig.

"Wow..."

I looked from the ground inside the nest, which was only slightly revealed, and I leaked such a voice.

Real tin bees use saliva hardened wood fibers to build nests. I had predicted from the tragedy of the trees around me, but the material of the nest still seemed to be the tree. At first I wondered if the nest was built only in a cavernous ground space, but the interior of the nest seemed to be fully coated. Does it feel like there's a nest buried underneath? That's right. Anyway, if it's dirt, it'll stain water and stuff when it rains.

The nesting board is a familiar honeycomb structure with a neat line of regular hexagonal nursery rooms. And the nest board is supposed to increase from top to bottom if it's a regular tin bee nest, but this nest seems to be growing sideways. Should I say that the nesting board is walled and lined up all the time? Was this what it was like in a bee feeding box?

There are quite a few larvae in the nursery. I guess there are pupae in the blocked area. Naturally, there is no honey. The bees are the only ones who make honey. The GAO bees probably do, too.

It's a little over two meters to the bottom of the nest. I think maybe I can go up and down... but if I have to, do I go through the inner walls and dig the dirt out?

I asked Quinn to wait and go into the nest. You feel like you're going in or you're going to jump. I stepped on an adult that was dead at the bottom of the nest, but I had no choice. My feet are buried with adult corpses. It's mixed with smoke and fire. Honestly, it's a frightening sight to know you're dead, but it's patience. Patience.

The nesting boards appear to be installed in an empty space of more than a metre from each other. It helps to have room to move around. But it's dark, so [Dark Vision] was used.

Various smells were mixed in the nest. The smell of Eduton, similar to mosquito-lined incense, and the smell of the nest burning. The smell of meat baking is probably meat dumplings fed by larvae. There is some other smell, but the others are too strong to tell.

Uhm...... some empty rooms, but the nursery contains giant wasp larvae. This is a pretty good impact... this guy is the main one of the day. We'll put the collection behind us and find the array first.

Head to the back of the nest with a peek between the nests. I quickly found what I was looking for. Giant Wasp queen bee. I thought adults were big too, but the queen is even bigger. Is it about 1.5 meters long? The physique is wider than that of other adults. And most importantly, this guy was still alive even though he had lost more than half his belly. Was it also highly vital because she was a queen? He's lying on the ground, moving his legs slowly, but he's not responding to me. Leaving it like this won't kill you far... but I'm the one who destroyed this nest. I stabbed him in the stomach in the sense of error.

The earth spirits worked hard to remove the soil, breaking down the nest walls and carrying the loot out of there. Looks like Wolf's been here a few times in the meantime, but Quinn is repelling me.

So.

"Quite a few......"

I put it together in one place. I saw it and the sigh leaked. I admire how this is all I could have carried out. At the same time, I was horrified that the productivity of the hive was amazing.

Bee child first. A pool of bee children is formed as a result of the creation of land on the ground and the gathering of bee children there. We only collected the living ones, but it's honestly tough to face the presence of various larvae, large and small.

Then I collected the eggs. It's a white translucent oval, just something the contents don't seem to shape.

Poison sacs and needles have been recovered from dead adults. If the belly of the queen bee hadn't burned, I'd have recovered it that way, but I can't help it.

The chrysanthemum didn't feel like getting her hands on it, so it stayed put. Realistically, they also eat chrysanthemums, but humans can't fry or fry seventy centimeters of chrysanthemums... especially if they don't have condiments or anything! Plus if you remove that lid-like white cover, it's a pale adult head and conniche! Say I was expecting you. Pretty freaked out!? Still opened it all, though. The guy who remains a larvae has been recovered.

"Sa,"

I don't know how to eat it...... according to real recipes, there seems to be a lot of ways to eat it: boiled, sautéed, raw, fried vegetables or tenderloin. There was also skewering. But that's for normal sizes. Whether it works or not.

Next egg. There was no such thing as a way to eat about this guy. That would be so. Real tinned bee eggs would be a few millimeters. But I have about 10 centimeters of this egg. So it's bigger than a chicken egg.

All right, let's boil the eggs. I just don't have the courage to eat raw. Do you want to boil the larvae as well as the relatively small ones?

Hang the large pan on fire and boil the water first. Let's keep the larvae hands in the meantime. After much research, some larvae seem to accumulate excrement. So, they only drain it together once just before it turns into a pupae. I mean, we have to get rid of it. Shit, I wish I'd just set aside the one just before the chrysalis... we'll be careful in the future. I don't know if there's a next time.

So, there seems to be a lot of different ways to take it out, but do you want to push it out first? Take the smallest of the larvae sea. It's about 15cm in size. I know it's big because I can see black in my body, but I don't know about this guy. I feel like I'll just crush it if I push it...... maybe I haven't even accumulated any excrement because it's still the smallest class...... ok, I'll keep boiling it!

I'm supposed to be bathing in Eduton's smoke, so I wash it once and for all. Eduton himself is not harmful to humans, but just in case. I don't want to eat ingredients that smell like incense.

The water boiled, so I put one egg and one larvae in it. Boil the sawdust. Uh, this is Quinn. Quinn, don't look at larvae like you want them. You were eating some in the gap I took my eyes off during the retrieval.

"You can eat the guy who escaped."

That's what I told him, and Quinn shook his tail and sat down at the staging area. Um, Quinn eats, which means people can eat, right?

After a while, recover the eggs and larvae and place them on a wood dish. The eggs are translucent to bright white. The larvae remain white.

"Then... I'll have it"

Prepare the salt once, starting with the eggs. The shell is not stiff and remains elastic. When I double-broke it with a sword, it's white inside. I'll try to smell it, but it's odorless. Spoon it out, creep through the contents like you eat kiwi and carry it to your mouth. Mmm, tasteless. The texture is hardened jelly or konyaku. I tried to shake salt but it only tastes like salt. I can't do this. Eggs are disposed of.

The larvae are next. I've never eaten a bee child in real life, but what happens to this... but this guy needs courage. You look like a potato bug, so you can eat up to this... eh, man is brazen! Determine your will and hit it. Chewing in your mouth once, twice, three times...

"Shrimp."

It was not surprising because there was real information that it tasted like shrimp. The texture is like shrimp with boiled skin and cream cheese in it. It's not as good as it sounds, but it's usually delicious.

I'll try to slash it with a knife, but the contents are solidified so it won't leak out. If you decorate something and serve it on a plate, it's going to work with hors d 'oeuvres as it is. Naturally, on the assumption of laying low your identity.

Flatten that one and turn your attention to the next larvae. Now why don't you say it's big? Take out the biggest guy alive, wash him in water, and go inside the big pot. Oh, I forgot to unplug the excrement. Let's take it out before we eat.

Quinn was looking at me like I wanted to, so I'm gonna get another one out of here. Quinn bumped into it. I guess eating this much means this guy is a delicious category for Quinn as well.

After boiling for a while, something black appeared in the large pot. And some of the larvae are torn and the black objects that were inside are gone. Oh, is this about excrement? Is it easy to do this without removing it before boiling? No, but you're resistant to eating boiled food with excrement... next time we do it, let's get rid of it in advance.

Remove only larvae and wash thoroughly. It gets cold, but there's no choice. Now the volume is very different than it was just now. Well, I was wondering what the flavor was like. I'm sure you're used to losing more resistance to eating than you just did.

"Hmm...?

The texture is not very different. But it tastes different. The shrimp flavor has disappeared. Instead, it tasted like potatoes for some reason. It's boiled potatoes. Besides, the creamy appearance in the contents remains intact. Potato-flavoured cream?

"What do you want from shrimp to potato..."

But it doesn't taste bad. Giant Wasp's Bee Child, okay! Funny! I had resistance to the look at first but this is fun! If it's this size, it's going to look like a fries once it's boiled and fried in oil, and it's likely to turn out depending on how it's cooked and seasoned!

It's also something I enjoy just myself, so I ate a little and then did the rest to Quinn. Is this ants or Quinn is eating them deliciously too? Proof of this is the shaking tail.

All right, then let's just try one last one. It's a larvae-shaped pupa. I don't think there's much difference between the taste of potatoes.

Discard the water once and boil again. I threw my eggs into my nest in the meantime. Prepare for the end. The nest is to be completely burned and filled with dirt at the end.

Put the washed pupae in boiling water. What you used to buyo buyo over larvae would mean thinner skin, so it would boil up faster than just now.

but the water started to cloud white after watching how it was going. The colour darkens even while I wonder why. In the meantime, the pupae reshaped and danced to the boil. Oh, you didn't tear it and the contents went all out? Oh, did you fail to cook...

But the big pot started to smell good. Not shrimp, not potatoes. Smells like something I've never smelled before.

Drain firewood from the kamado to weaken the fire momentum and check inside the large pot. When I recovered the chrysalis, which had only been skinned, and looked in the large pot, the contents of the chrysalis dissolved in the water were soup. It hasn't hardened...

Remove the spoon and try to remove it snugly from the large pan directly and transport it to your mouth.

"... what is this!?

I accidentally raised my voice. Yum! The tongue feels like corn potage, but it tastes different! Sweet, rich... what, what can I analogize it to? No, of all the food I've eaten so far, it doesn't taste like it! Exactly the taste of the unknown! What I was looking for in GAO!

"Quinn! Come here!

Squeeze the soup directly in a wooden dish, I'll offer it to you before Quinn. Here he comes. Quinn smelled it several times and licked it. That momentum increases in the next moment.

"Delicious!?

"Wong!"

Quinn barked as he bumbled his tail. Right, delicious! Yummy!?

But wait. This guy tastes melted in water. I mean, it's thinner than it was. Then how intense would it taste if it didn't dilute and stayed intact? What happens if I warm those contents up by hanging them on fire...?

Slowly, look at the assembly point. There must still have been a good number of larvae-shaped pupae. Quinn was moving his gaze that way, too.

You have to try this!

"Ah, I'm happy..."

"Kuuuuuu......"

Return to Zvand. Me and Quinn were walking in contentment. Hey, it was delicious... I didn't know you'd come across so much delicious in the virtual real world... I went back to the nest to see if there was any retrieval, yeah. Happy or unhappy, I was sure I'd recovered them all.

The nest was thoroughly incinerated and buried. The aftermath is perfect. The next time I see a giant wasp, I'll definitely decide on my mind to hunt the nest for him.

"Ah, Fist. Can we do this now?

Then a friend chat flew in. It's Wena.

"Oh, I'm fine. What's the matter with you?

'Yeah. Fist is around Zvand right now, isn't he? So, you told me about Giant Wasp during the previous launch, right? Oh, thank God it was you. "

I say sorry, Wena. Huh? No, 'cause that's exactly what I've been eating right now...?

'I wonder if it's accurate to say Gase. They say bee kids of normal size exist properly. In fact, it looks like they're even selling it. But none of the players actually ate Giant Wasp's bee child. That's right, Giant Wasp doesn't even drop, and no one bothers to eat until they look for such insect larvae. So sorry.'

Hmmm... I know that the information Wena was purchasing was wrong. But I actually ate that, and it was delicious. Besides, if I hadn't told Wena this story, I wouldn't have even tried to eat it first. I appreciate what you were telling me in that sense.

"Oh, no problem. Because it was delicious."

That's why I told him. Uh, and Wena gets quiet.

"So he's the bee child of Giant Wasp. Crush a nest this morning. I've been enjoying myself. And we've captured plenty of them."

"Liar...... did you eat it!? And he said it was delicious!?

"Oh. Especially the freshly chrysalis. I was so impressed with how delicious it was going to be. Thanks, Wena. Thanks to you."

'No, the... I hope you like the fist... did you really eat it...?

"Oh. You'll be able to make a lot of trials and mistakes by the time I see you next time, and I'll have a nice little bee dish for you."

'Er... haha... that's another opportunity to say -... yeah, that's it!

For some reason the chat was interrupted so as to escape. Um, it does look array, so suddenly you'll be resistant to trying to feed it. So the next time I see you, I'll feed you without revealing who you are. Let him know it's delicious first, and the resistance should fade. If you don't know what it looks like when you cook it, you can still use it.

"Do you want to try everything? Maybe I can teach him around Gunhild. If you can't resist insect food, but"

It's a difficult ingredient to get, but people should definitely jump out if they just look at the flavor. Could be a sign dish.

Well, that too, after trying everything I can think of. Okay, well, it's going to be fun.
