Goblin meat can be eaten… it became a fairly famous story in the guilds that it became somewhat delicious to eat.

The cooks, who negotiated with Maryo to get the goblin meat handled well, start cooking goblin dishes out of their curiosity and sell it.

It is common sense in this world that goblin meat is extremely unsavory, apart from living in guilds and not living there.

So whoever first heard about the goblin meat dish even bought it for fear...... surprised when they realized it was surprisingly delicious.

Better yet, not all cooks have done well.

Some of them cooked with certain ingredients, which is why they were able to cook worse than regular goblin meat......

It had also been found that basically the goblin meat sold by Maryo would become unsavory goblin meat if the itinerary was to be boiled for a long time.

Of course, that happens because I treated it using Gamelion's gut, and there was a possibility that if it could be eaten in any other way, it could even be eaten in a simmering dish...

Unfortunately, no, it should be taken for granted, Maryo has not published how he can eat goblin meat deliciously.

What Maryo sells is goblin meat after they treat it themselves, and the cooks who buy it don't know what the meat is treated like.

Some people naturally want to know that, but if you try Maryo, years of research have finally brought us this far.

There are still a variety of limited circumstances, such as not being able to do without the guts of the gamelions that come out in the fall, or going back to the meat of unsavory goblins after a long boil, which doesn't mean you can always eat the meat of goblins deliciously.

But you can say that it was a joke or nothing that allowed you to eat goblin meat deliciously, a feat whose name will remain in history.

And so, so kind of... naturally some people think that way...

"Gu Hu!"

I was hired by someone who thought about that, an adventurer ate Ray's blow and collapsed to the ground.

"I had no idea someone was a guild adventurer and thought of such a stupid imitation."

"You don't say that. Besides, these adventurers are not real guild adventurers. You must be the one who came to the Guild looking for work on the additions."

Vihera, who took the consciousness of another adventurer on Ray's side, tells him in a somewhat comforting tone.

"Well, with this degree of power.... but you've got a problem."

Various people are currently searching the Percy Tools Store to find secrets to eating goblin meat deliciously.

Ray had heard from Maryo that some acts, such as direct violence, can stink from business partners with Percy tool stores, and more recently, there are suspicious people around the store who don't look familiar.

Goblin meat.

Some think so, but goblins are everywhere, not just on the border.

If we were to be able to eat that goblin meat deliciously, that would bring tremendous benefits.

... It's no strange story to see those who think that way and want to make it their own.

In fact, it is necessary to use such ingredients as the gut of the gamelion, which can only be obtained in a few places, including the guilds, so it does not mean that you can eat goblin meat anytime, anywhere.

But for now, Maryo is not going to let you know.

That is natural given the funds that have been spent on this research, and there is something about honor, as Maryo naturally does.

I didn't make that a problem because I don't care about Ray.

Also, just because she has an honorable appetite, Maryo is not going to make her own research to eat goblin meat deliciously.

In the first place, it was Ray who brought Maryo research to eat goblin meat deliciously, and he was given large quantities of goblin meat or otherwise expensive spices.

Given the circumstances around it, the option of not tabulating Ray's name as a co-researcher does not even exist as Maryo.

Ray himself didn't really care about the neighborhood, so I was honest with him that either was fine.

"Right. However, while Ray's at Elaine's, I'll keep my eyes open, so you don't have to worry about it. You can ask Percy Tools to escort you somewhere."

"Request, right. But does anybody else get a request for an escort this season?

Winter is basically a long break for adventurers.

For Ray, impressions like summer vacation or winter break?

By the way, winter holidays can vary dramatically depending on the area where you live and can be a week or shorter than the high school Ray attended, so sometimes people can't recognize winter as a long holiday... winter was also a long enough holiday for Ray, who lived in the Northeast region.

Summer holidays are shorter for the longest winter holidays.

Either way, adventurers who get a request for escorts during such a long vacation...... it was still a little hard to imagine an adventurer who was well prepared to take on the area even if he was an adventurer whose funding over the winter was unforgivable.

Of course, adventurers are not self-depraved when they drink and make noise all winter.

It was not uncommon to train the body so that it could be stronger for spring activities.

However, still, since the beginning of the year... no, many people think in the wind that spring is approaching, so in this season... and as soon as it is winter, it is somewhat difficult.

"Then, after all, is it best to ask around Vihera, Marina and Bühne"

"Oh, I'm expensive, aren't I?

It was a vihela to tell you jokingly, but it was only natural that if you were to actually hire a wihela or so skilled artist, it would be expensive.

"Uh... just keep it tight. It's about Vihera anyway, so you don't just want money."

If you can hire them for money, that's the easy story for Ray.

But that's not true, which was only natural if you try Ray, who knows Vihera's personality.

(It's what Vihera wants, so maybe a mock fight or something)

That's what I thought Ray would do, but the next word that came out of Vihella's mouth stops him from moving by accident.

"Well, when we get back from the Duke of Kelp, let's have a date. That'll do, won't it?

……

Ray's mouth does not immediately respond to the unexpected words of Vihera.

Vihera smiles at Ray like that.

... floating, thin cheeks dyed red.

Vihera is not that embarrassed to do things like invite her to mock warfare or show a bunch of people wearing thin clothes like hookers and dancers.

But even with such a vihella, it still embarrasses me to invite Ray... the man I love to a date.

Still, she looks like an older woman and makes it look like she can afford it. Vihera asks Ray.

"What do you say? Don't you think it's a cheap commission?

"... in a way, it seems expensive."

While answering that question about Vihera, Ray accepts her offer of a date.

"Okay. Then when you get back, do you want to go somewhere? What do you want... what am I supposed to think?

"I'm glad you did, too."

He was a vihella who told him that with a full smile on his face, but Ray smiles with his expression, but he is deeply perplexed.

Of course, it's not like I've never had a date.

I never had that opportunity when I was in Japan, but since I came to Elgin, somehow in Japan... no, I've only seen it on TV on Earth... or I've been more involved with the beauties up there than I've seen on TV, and I'm getting used to it accordingly.

Most importantly, that's why Ray gets lost in where to go on a date.

(like a movie theater? No, don't you? Library...... do you enjoy reading books in the library by Vihera? Restaurant...... oh, like a dining room full of sweet desserts or something? After that, window shopping?

I can think of a few, but the original story Ray comes up with is that it's a substitute for comics and cartoons.

Although many of them did not work in this Elgin.

"I'll think of something for now."

"Really?"

A smiling, nodding vihella.

That's how he talks near the back door of the Percy Tools store, and the door opens unexpectedly.

"Good luck, both of you. I've got some warm soup for you, go ahead."

It was the clerk at Percy's Tools Store who showed up with a soup dish that stimulated his appetite.

It is also a pleasure for the Rays to bring the soup that it will be cold. I'm glad...

"Well, whatever the appliance or vegetable of this soup, could this meat be goblin meat?

"Yeah, that's right."

To Ray's words, the clerk of a mid twenties woman grins and nods.

But when Ray sees it, he opens his mouth with a subtly unpleasant look on his face.

"Didn't I tell you that treated goblin meat isn't suitable for soups and other long-boiled dishes?

The woman smiled happily at Ray's words like that.

"Well done. You listened! Actually, I made this soup a little different than normal. It's not that hard."

The woman continues her explanation as she hands Ray and Vihella a plate and spoon each with soup.

"The goblin meat we treated can be deliciously eaten without any problems if it is like stir-fry. But when it came to soup ingredients, it really tasted bad.... Then you just have to change your mind!

Ray, pointing that way, carries into his mouth the goblin meat that had been pushed into the soup by the momentum.

If it doesn't taste good, I'm going to spit it out right away. But...

"Delicious?"

"That's right. The simmering in the soup made it tasteless, but if you fry it and then add it as an ingredient in the soup, you can eat it fine!... Well, in that case, the soup doesn't taste like meat..."

"Uh... I see. Did you use goblin meat purely as an ingredient?"

"Yes."

Columbus eggs? And for a moment I thought, Ray, but I'm not going to put that in my mouth.

In the first place, I don't know what the word Columbus egg means in this world, and cooking was an amazing idea from Ray's point of view, but because I thought it might be a kind of cooking method that would be particularly strange or nothing if I tried to cook for someone.

In fact, Ray didn't know, but if you simmer ingredients just to take stock for a long time, and take stock until the ingredients are boiled down, adding ingredients for eating there is a normal cooking method in Japan, and that's the same with this Elgin.

Of course, it took two extra labors to cook, but if you're a cook, you usually know how to cook.

"Then you also overcome the drawback of not being able to use goblin meat for soup?

"That's... what do you think? Because in the end, adding it as an ingredient is very different from being able to imitate it by simmering it firmly. You can't say you've overcome it in a real way. It just doesn't seem like there's anything we can do about it."

It's only recently that I was able to use Gamelion's guts to eat goblin meat quite deliciously.

Had I known that from the beginning, it would not have been impossible to purchase a large quantity of guts of Gamelion either... but now, anyway, the amount of guts of Gamelion is very limited.

More than that, there's really not enough guts to try and error.

"In addition to the methods found this time, are you looking for a way to eat goblin meat deliciously?

"Isn't that natural? As it is now, around here...... and you can only eat goblin meat this season deliciously. Well, still better than before."

Still, many people try to break into Percy Tools stores in search of secrets that can eat goblin meat.

If the way you can eat goblin meat is limited, why not publish it? And Ray didn't even think... I guess there's some idea that Maryo won't.

(For once, if I use spices, I won't be able to eat them... Is that a cost problem?)

With that in mind, Ray continued to guard the Percy Tool Store.
