A few days after the rank-up exam. While the rain clouds covered the sky and light rain was falling, those who took the rank-up exam with Ray as their first came to a warehouse-like place on the back streets of the city of Gilm.
"Wow, what the hell is this? I've lived in the Guild for quite some time, but I had no idea."
Roble groans uncommonly, but instead of agreeing with it, Shty slaps on its back.
"More than that, you see, we're just going into the warehouse. If you stay wet in the rain and catch a cold, it won't be hard."
……
To Shty's words, the Ones who were on this occasion as well nod and follow Ray's guide into the building.
"For once, let the owner of this place tell you that this place is called a demolition hut."
"A cabin this size..."
Roble opens the door and squeals as he walks inside.
"Haha. But doesn't the demolition shed sound like something better than a demolition warehouse?
From inside the building, one man shows up with a voice like that.
Roble and Shty knew who the man was.
I didn't know Onz was not an adventurer in this city, but he didn't look particularly prominent because he was as silent as usual.
"Grrrrrrrrrr"
Seto, who entered the building with Ray, sounds his throat gladly when he sees the person he hasn't seen in a long time.
"Hasta, I'm sorry I rented this place all of a sudden"
Ray also speaks to the character, Hasta, an adventurer who hunted Gamelion, arguably a giant carnivorous rabbit, with Ray in the winter.
"Hasta!?
"Huh? So this is a full pavilion...?
The two Roble and Shty, who lived in this city, had gone to the full pavilion more than once in the low-ranking era, and knew about Hasta for that reason.
"Mr. Roble, Mr. Shty, it's been a while. You think you took a rank-up exam to Rank B. Congratulations."
To Hasta, who smiles small and lowers her head, Roble smiles and shakes her head.
"Don't, I didn't decide I still passed. Keep that word until the day of the acceptance announcement."
"Right. I was able to take the rank-up exam, but I still don't know if it passed."
"I'm sure Mr. Roble or Mr. Stee would pass.... hey, what more did Ray want me to lend you here today than that?
I guess I decided I was done greeting you once. Hasta asks looking to Ray.
"Oh, the demolition of the monster I hunted in the rank-up exam. Going out of town on purpose stinks, and most importantly, it's raining.... Yes, it's the Ones that keep quiet over there. He's an adventurer who took a rank-up exam with us."
Pecori on Ray's introduction, and the Ones bowing their heads.
"Oh, thank you. This is Hasta, a Rank D adventurer. Um... thank you."
Even as he bows his head, the unrecognizable hasta on Ones' face tilts his neck inside.
Of course Hasta doesn't remember the faces of all the adventurers in the city of Gilm. But if you're still a Rank B person, I thought you could remember your face.
Without realizing that Ones is an adventurer called by another city just for a rank-up exam.
"Well, let me use it quickly, but don't you mind?
"Yeah. I've already processed what I'm going to use in today's store, so you can clean it up if you want. Whatever, it's summer..."
"Uh, I see. I'll take care of it, I'll make sure it's all right around here."
Husta nodded that Shty was convinced and relieved to see it bowed her head small.
"Well, I have help from the store. Please show your face to the store when you are done using it. My dad said he wanted Ray to have a new dish."
"A new dish?
"Yes, I was proud to say the perfect dish to stay cool in hot summers."
"Uh, sure. When it's hot in summer, you lose your appetite."
"Hey, you've never had Roble summer before. You always have an appetite."
Shty taps gently from behind Roble's head as he nods and tells him.
Hasta, who was watching how it went, heads outside the building with a small grin.
"Well, I'll have your share as well as Mr. Ray's, so please stop by the store when you're done"
That's what I told him, and he ran off in the rain.
"... well, let's just say we get to dismantling the bicone quickly. I'd like to finish my troublesome work as soon as possible."
Ray taking 29 bicorns out of the mystering and arranging them on the floor.
"It's this number of people, and it's okay that everyone's going to dismantle their share, right?
Everyone snorts at Ray's words like that.
... for some reason Seto was also snorting.
Hang four bicorn bodies on the hooks provided for demolition, each of which begins demolition.
What Ray brought up was a knife for demolition that I always use. He puts a slice from his torso into the skin and peels it off, then cuts the meat and removes the heart with his gut, leaving the demonic stone buried there to be removed.
The meat is then cut into blocks and the first stripping and dismantling ends.
I've just done that quite a few times, and Ray needed less time for one than before.
Although it is hardly as fast as Roble's demolition.
While Ray was processing one bicone, Roble handled two...
"Wow, Mr. Ones, you're early!
When everyone is silently dismantling the bicorn while withstanding the heat of midsummer, such voices inadvertently echo around them.
With his gaze toward those who spoke, Ray finds Shty sending a respectful gaze to Ones with a surprising look on his face.
But I guess I couldn't help but raise Shty's surprise voice. There are two robles while Ray is processing one. But Ones was handling three in the meantime.
"... this is amazing indeed"
Ray mouths an exclamation following Shty.
Anyway, it's not just about speed. There were few wasted scratches on the peeled skin - there were scratches made when they were knocked down - but they were also splendidly cut with respect to the area of meat. And naturally, with regard to the demon stone, it was removed beautifully and arranged on the floor without a scratch.
Compared to Ray's peeled skin, it peels so beautifully that you can see the difference just by looking at it. There was something there that should be said to be the difference between the years.
"Grrrrrrrr......"
Seto, who was looking at such mutilated meat, rattles his throat and leans closer to Ones.
……
Ones watching how it goes gives Ceto the back part of the bicone, especially the finned meat part, which is a luxury area, without uttering any words.
"Gru?"
Are you sure? and Ceto tilting his little neck with his throat ringing, but Ones had begun processing the rest of the bicorn, especially after placing the finned meat part in front of Ceto without saying anything.
"Sorry, that helps"
……
When Ray hangs his thanksgiving words before he hangs on to the next bicorn treatment, Ones nods small with his gaze only for a moment.
"I can't even lose!
I guess I took such a stand against Ones. Roble sticks his knife out trying to peel the skin off the third bicone...
"Idiot, strip it off more carefully than the speed. Even if I sell it, it would be cheaper if the skin was scratched. Especially when it comes to buying from guilds."
"... then you can sell it to some store too, right?
"Sure, that might buy you high, but then you'll have to negotiate. Roble's not good at negotiating, and I'm not good at anything either."
"Mmm, I can't help it. Then be a little more polite."
Roble also nods irresistibly against his lover's words and carefully moves the knife so that he can strip it off more beautifully than the speed.
That's how each begins to concentrate again on dismantling, and by the time it's past noon, the dismantling of all the bicorns is finally over.
Of course it was Ones who first completed the demolition, and Roble, Shty and I came next, and, naturally, Ray was the last.
It's only natural that even the others have one more bicone allotment and the slowest stripping and dismantling speed.
In the end, the first Ones to finish their minutes, and the second to work with the Shties after their minutes were over, and the two Robles and Shties, who also finished it, worked together, eventually completing the stripping and dismantling of Ray's minutes for four.
"... Phew, so, I'm meat-skinned. I just need to put them inside the item box. That's fine, but what are you guys gonna do?
Ray's magic cooks the excess meat when cutting it as block meat, and asks sideways what Seto looks like as he swallows it.
"Of course I'm ready. I've arranged to rent a luggage truck to carry meat."
"Huh?... ah!?
Roble raises his voice to the words of Shty, remembering that he had not prepared his share. But...
"Don't worry, I've arranged Roble's share properly"
"Oh, oh. Sorry. That's Shty."
"I hope it's time for me to be able to do this sort of arrangement myself. I do it every time."
"No, it's more certain that Shty did it than I did, right?
Ray turns his gaze to Ones as he hears such an interaction between two people that can only be described as an insane talk fight.
……
But Ones snorts silently, not particularly at what he mouths.
"Apparently, the Ones are fine, too. Then let me get my share cleaned up."
Whimpering, storing the meat cut out of the bicorn body, one or two times bigger than a normal horse, into the mysteries on a block-by-block basis. Even though I say I removed the skin, bones, or guts, it still weighs a few t units just in the amount of meat for 7 bicorns.
Nevertheless, Ray did not have any particular difficulty in storing it to Mystering one after the other, as did the skins and magic stones.
(As for absorption of Demon Stone...... I guess I can't do it today)
While that's how I think.
Each one of them had finished processing the meat - all but Ray sold off to the butcher, and each one of them was to bring back the ingredients - had come to the full pavilion, as promised to Hasta.
Because it's a little past lunch time, there are quite a few guests, but it's still not as full.
In the meantime, Seto falls asleep in front of the store as usual, and the Rays enter the store.
"Ah, Mr. Ray! Everyone else! Are you done yet? It was just great. Come here."
Ray and the others arrive at the table prompted by the words of Hasta, who was serving customers in the store.
"Ah, Hasta. I'm sorry, but Seto's in front of the store, so get him something. To me..."
That's what I told him, Ray also tried to take out the silver coins for Seto's fee, but Hasta shakes her head small.
"I'll treat you all today. To Ceto, of course."
"Whoa, are you serious!?
"Is that okay?
……
Roble rejoices in that word of Hasta, and Shty worries that he's financially okay, and Ones snorts silently.
But Hasta opens her mouth with a grin at the words.
"Yeah, I don't mind. Instead, I'd like to know what you think of the new menu."
"New menu? That's what he said in the demolition cabin...... is it a udon menu after all?
Full belly pavilion famous as the birthplace of udon. That's why Shty has eaten udon too, and naturally imagined it as a new menu, and that prediction was right.
"Yes, it's udon. Except it's just the right menu to eat in the summer. Do you guys mind if I do that?
Everyone on the spot nods at Hasta's words.
"Hey, have you ever had udon? It's been pretty popular lately."
It was Roble's word not knowing who spread the udon, but Ray nodded, especially since he didn't want to be touted as spreading it, and Ones, who had just recently come to this city for a rank-up exam, shook his neck sideways.
"Are you new to Ones? Udon..."
Shty and Ray watched with a bitter smile as Roble explained how to eat udon that way.
It's basically a lobre in a direct line, but with a view of its unexpected goodness of care.
"Yes, ma'am. It's a summer udon."
In the middle of Roble's udon course, Hasta comes with a basin.
It wasn't a bowl with a familiar udon on top of that basin, it was a plate in one way or another. I can't even feel the heat of udon juice.
"... What's this?
That's what I asked Ray, but that voice is mixed with a small surprise. The first dish I see...... not so. Because it was a familiar menu. That's also in Japan, not this Elgin.
"This is a cold, chilled udon topped with each ingredient on top with a cold juice. Even people who have lost their appetite in the summer can eat it."
"Wow, it looks delicious!
"Sure looks like you can eat this even if it's hot"
The culinary name Bukkake Udon, passes Ray's brain.
Of course, there are many things different from Ray's Bukkake Udon. Where there is no yellow body of hot spring eggs or raw eggs, or where there are no medicinal flavors such as bonito, green onion, meowga, or large leaves. Is it something like boiled and then chilled meat and vegetables on top?
"How are you so chilled?
Hasta smiles and opens her mouth to Roble, who asks as she wraps the udon around her fork and carries it to her mouth.
"It was actually a bit expensive, but I bought a magic item for cooling. I honestly said I should stop, but my father said I really needed it for this dish. It won't..."
I get a surprise look at Hasta's words with a bright smile, including Ones.
Magic items made using demonic stones are expensive, except for things that basically ignite and are used in general homes.
In that case, if it was a magic item for cooling, it would naturally be worth the price, so the Rays were surprised.
Ones doesn't know the financial circumstances of the full pavilion, but he still understands to say that the magic items for cooling are expensive.
Thus the Rays laughed at Dishot's decision to taste the new menu of the Full Pavilion, but also the owner of the Full Pavilion who created it.
