I Can Speak with Animals and Demons

Greatwolf's meal is over. Then we take some of the extra legs to their place of residence.

It was just the size that we couldn't carry alone, so Greatwolf called in a bunch of people to take it to the address.

This way they won't starve for the time being, and they won't start attacking people.

A little more hunting for Giant Spider will return you to your original territory.

By the end of the day, it was halfway between evening and noon, so I decided to return to the village today.

Just in case, as proof of the crusade, I take home some of the thorns that were attached to my legs and some of the thick, methyl-like skin.

I told the Greatwolves we'd ask them again tomorrow, and we broke up.

Thanks to Giant Spider, I'm tired today because I ran around the woods scattered.

I want to get some rest in the village.

I thought it was me.

"Four Giant Spiders!? Is it true!? This purple thorn and crusty skin...... no doubt about it. So where did you take him down?

"Uh, it's a little bit like a nest hole in the back."

"Let's collect the material."

"What? But there may still be other individuals, and it's dangerous. Then"

"It's okay. Because they don't have that many individuals, and they don't flock that much. Hurry before the sun goes down! It's a feast tonight."

So when I got back to the village, I decided to turn.

As soon as Mayor Rosac spoke, hunters and powerful young men gathered together.

Am I the only one who thought this face alone could hunt Giant Spider?

A man with muscles bulging on his shallow black skin looks so much stronger than Ned.

Did a boy like me really hunt Giant Spider at first? The gaze was pointed, but he convinced me that I would show thorns and skin.

"Even if it's small, that's an adventurer. Let's do it."

and was bashed in the back.

And I want you to praise me for not blowing it.

By the way, the Needs are not back yet.

Ashmonkeys often approach fields and villages for this evening's time, they say.

Well, we headed toward the Giant Spider's nest, thinking they'd be fine.

I walked alert to the other demons, but there was no particular sign of it, and I reached the nest. Originally this was Giant Spider's nest. I guess no other demon understands it or approaches it. Greatwolf said the same thing.

Even if I were a demon, I'd never get close.

"Ooh! Wow! Those monsters are rolling unbroken!

"Look at this individual. I don't have a single leg. It's all cut clean and clean."

Seeing the four giant spiders rolling over there, the men cheer.

No, the individual dropped half his leg, but it's disgusting to crawl at me. I dropped all my legs and then stabbed my brain in the chest.

When the sun goes down, a nocturnal demon also appears, and we know it will be dangerous, so the men quickly dismantle it and recover the material.

Because I let Greatwolf take some back, there's something missing but he doesn't seem to care. If anyone asks you anything, let's just say it blew up in battle. The theory brought back by other demons is also valid.

"What the hell kind of moves did you use? Aren't the cutting surfaces too clean? It's like Dharma."

"You were so true about being a famous adventurer. It's impossible to get into the Giant Spider's nest alone..."

"No, I just called Jed and all that lightly. Wouldn't they kill you later?

"So where do you collect Giant Spider?

"" Hiya!?

I called out to help, too, but the men tremble bizarrely with an odd voice.

"Excuse me! Mr. Jed! I just licked your mouth!

"Please, just spare me Dharma!

Men who keep their heads down over and over again, shaking their voices.

What the hell is wrong with you?

"I don't know what you're talking about, but you don't have to be so sure. What happened to you earlier when you called me Jed casually and slapped me on the back?

They make their faces blue when they say things that don't happen.

"Hey, you're dead. I knew Jed would get angry about what happened earlier."

"Oh, no! Please! Please don't do this to Dharma! Please!

When the men thought that they had spoken to each other, a man suddenly sat in the ground crying.

I really don't know why.

"So what the hell is it!? You're just asking me where I'm going to slash it, aren't you?

"Ahhh... I knew it..."

"Hit me good! Oh no!? Please, little finger! Please just give me a break with your little finger!

I just asked him what part of the Giant Spider he needed, but one guy covered his face with his hands with a sad look, and the dude sitting on the ground squeaked his face and his hips followed me.

I no longer know what that means. Does Giant Spider have a pinky finger or something? Front leg or back leg? Is that what you call your leg on your finger? No, but the Giant Spider has eight legs? Wouldn't it be strange if it was a pinky finger?

"Isn't that a leg?

"Ah, feet!? That's all! I won't be able to walk!

"What?"

"Eh?"

Me and the man face each other silently.

"... instead of slashing my leg off as a drop of a licked mouth?

"Why would I slash your leg off!

What kind of yakuza am I!

Although there was a strange misconception, the dismantling of the Giant Spider was successfully completed.

Mostly they just need to be able to take their legs home.

When I asked him what he was going to use it for, he said, "Giant Spider's legs are true!

And he said with a two-cup smile.

Hearing that made me feel "... oh, I knew it" complicated.

That leg that was moving so tightly... is it tasty?

Upon returning to the village, women and small children joined forces to prepare for the feast.

Where the large trees are stacked up there is already on fire, and the flames rise like campfires, scattering the firepowder.

Even as we looked at the legs of the Giant Spider we had brought in, the villagers started to cook with admiration. After all, nobody seems to feel sick or anything. You've eaten in the past, it looked familiar to me.

Skins like corn are smashed and burned one after the other.

It's sad to be sitting alone in a rushing village, so I mixed it up with the kids and set up a chair and a table in the square.

Then the village is completely wrapped up in the night and the fires rise everywhere.

Many villagers have already gathered in the square to show their liveliness.

Need, Iri and Leg also seem to be already in their seats to see if the crusade is over.

Ned calls me to the same seat. There are already many dishes lined up at the table, all of which look delicious.

Is this pink guy wrapped in thick skin, Giant Spider's leg?

I'm on a big plate, staring seriously at Giant Spider's legs.

On a large plate at every table, it was raised as if to build a tower.

"Hang on, that's all you have to do."

"I wonder what it is. Fun."

"Isn't that the black bore meat we hunted?

I guess they don't know. That this is Giant Spider's leg.

Well, it's funny, so I decided to keep quiet.

Then, when he heard that Need and the others had hunted a few Ashmonkeys and Blackboa, when Mayor Rosac raised his short toast words, the meal began.

With fruit liquors and ales, the square was quickly engulfed by cheerful laughter. Busy.

At our table, Iri just put her hand on Giant Spider's leg.

Drop the tartare and pink body and soak it in a special brown sauce.

And Aili cheeks at it.

"Hey, this is so delicious!

When I heard that, Ned and Leg said, "Is that true!" and eat aloud.

"True! To that effect!"

"…… a flavor I've never eaten before."

Need and leg with a face that seems satisfied.

Seeing that, I snarl my throat.

When I realized it, my hand was naturally stretched to it.

Taste the flavor as it is without turning on the sauce first.

A gentle texture and a rich crab-like flavour spreads through your mouth.

This is delicious! It's really a crab!

Giant Spider. Wouldn't it taste so good for that gross look?

I noticed that Ned and the others were obsessed, and if I noticed, I ate silently.

Giant Spider's legs disappear at tables everywhere, but they are added one after the other to build the mountain again.

For a moment, the spider that was crooked and moving in the back of my brain floats behind my brain.

............... Yeah, let's not worry about it. This is a tougher different world than Earth. What are we going to do about it? Wouldn't that be nice if it tasted good?

Yes, this is a crab. Yeah, I don't care about anything.

"Ah, my stomach is full."

After Aili breathes in a ho, she makes a stretch.

I'll be in a chested position, but I guess I'm sad. There was no swelling or fine dust there.

"Ha ha, I can eat fifty more of these!

"I could do a hundred."

Ned and Leg talk about that in a good mood. My face is very red because of the alcohol in it, and my voice is big from earlier on, it seems I can already do it.

"How was Jed, by the way? You had a Greatwolf or a Giant Spider, right? Did you say you hunted the scouts and the Greatwolves today?

"No, I crushed one of the Giant Spider's nests."

"Did you crush the nest!? Not the hell with you two?

When I answer that, Iri slaps the table in the van and gets on with it.

Next door Ned complained, "Hey, don't shake it," but Iri doesn't care.

"Yeah, four bodies. I've been having a rough time rendezvous along the way. They're big, so intimidating."

"…… heh. So the faces of everyone in the village were bright, too. If you hunt so much... you can take a lot of materials..."

It was an aili to say as I drew my face, but at the end of the day the words stop. Giant Spider. Many stacked ingredients. Pleasant villagers. The word legs heard from other tables.

"... Hey, Jed. Maybe what we were eating………………"

I laughed and replied to Iri, who was afraid to ask.

"Giant Spider's leg."

There was a scream surrounded by hustle and bustle.

Letter from Gladys to Claire.

Mother, I don't think I can write to you for a while because I have a Knights expedition for a while, but forgive me.

This is also the job of the Knights. I have no choice.

We'll be in touch later, when we calm down.

You brothers are really alike. I usually have a similar reaction to escape when they poke me in the pain, even though I don't normally look alike. As a mother, I didn't want you to look like that.
