Legend

Aside from the enclosed gems of restorative magic, when I finish handing over various souvenirs, starting with the dishes of Anesis, each will talk about what they were doing today and so on.

Most importantly, Ray saw the dismantling of Giganto Turtle, and then was looking for a magic item that was manipulating Kobolt, which was already spoken of, so the main thing he was talking about would be an otherwise facile.

"I was free today, wasn't I? Looks like Beaune was knocking down quite a few cobolts though. … However, the dismantling of Giganto Turtle is a bit of a sight to behold. Not that big of a monster, and I think we should take a look when we get a chance."

Other faces who have not seen the demolition scene give such a slightly more intriguing look to Vihella's words.

Neither is Elaine, Marina, or Ara the first time they've seen another giant monster.

Elaine had been driven out by Kraken's crusade before, and by the time Marina was an adventurer, she had encountered various monsters, many of them huge.

Still, it's true that Ray still had the desire to see the dismantling of Giganto Turtle that he defeated.

"Right. I'm free tomorrow, and I think I'll go take a look. What about Elaine and Arla?

"Right. Should we take a look at it at once so that noblemen don't give strange little bites? Besides, I'd be surprised if I told my father about Giganto Turtle."

Ara nods back at such Elaine's words, too.

"I'll give it to you too. Fortunately, I have no business tomorrow."

To be precise, there are a number of people who would like to see Elaine.

But that's not something of an urgency, most people want to get to know Elaine.

If you're an aristocratic nobleman, you can do some big faces downstairs just because you know Elaine.

Even for the Kings and Neutralists, they have some influence simply because they are familiar with Elaine and her face.

Elaine, alias General Princess, has so much influence.

So that's what those who should call the elephants want to see... naturally, the majority of them will be lightly turned down by Ara.

If there was a really important reason, Arla would also tell Elaine that, but it was only natural to decide that it would be particularly fine to go see Giganto Turtle tomorrow, beyond the absence of such people.

"Right. If you don't have a problem, let's go see it tomorrow.... Ray, do you mind?

"I don't mind that, but I'm just a little bit of a lookout at the beginning and at the end, and I can't leave you to Elaine, can I?

"Mm-hmm. If you're looking for a magic item that's manipulating a cobolt, will it? That's a little unfortunate...... what are we going to do with Vihera and Bühne?

"Me? I... well, it's like Bühne wants to get a request to take down a monster at Giganto Turtle's dismantling place, so maybe it's in the form of going with it"

To the words, for now, I find out that Vihera and Buune are in a place where Giganto Turtle is being dismantled, and Elaine looks just a little happy.

"So, what was Marina doing today? I thought you were coming to Giganto Turtle."

"Oh, me? Actually, I'm not from the same place as I am, but Dark Elves are here alone in the Guild. I was just teaching her how to use spiritual magic."

"The dark elves? Also, rare...... no, you don't"

It was Ray who said it was unusual for Marina's words, but he immediately denies it himself.

In fact, Ray also has one Elf acquaintance, and even if he doesn't, he's seen several of them in the Guild, both Elves and Dark Elves.

Not to mention the fact that we are now in the process of building additions, which brings more people together than before.

It's winter now, so the numbers are smaller than by autumn, but still more people are in the guild than usual.

Even with new elves and dark elves in it, it wasn't particularly strange.

"Right. He's just not very good at spiritual magic. I'm pretty good at bows."

"... let me ask you something, that Spirit Magic Arm isn't based on the marina, is it?

Ray knows a few people who use spiritual magic, but one of them is the marina's skill... jumping through so much that it's nowhere near.

From such a marina, it would seem that most people are not good at spiritual magic.

But on such a ray, Marina takes the cheese that was on the table and moves it left and right.

It was a particularly unparalleled trick, but it makes the marina more aware of the glow of an intense woman by doing such an act.

Most importantly, Ray, who has been with the marina for quite a while, was accustomed and resistant to the luster of such a marina.

"I'm not imitating you like that. Simply because that child asked me to teach you how to use spiritual magic, I'm just teaching you."

The marina who tells you that doesn't seem to have any particular hindsight.

With relief from that, Ray continues the conversation.

"Nevertheless, are you from a different settlement than the marina? I'd love to go to your settlement sometime."

"For Ray, a dark elf settlement must be unusual. There seems to be some interesting magic items."

I guess that's what Ray told me just because Marina knew what Ray was after, too.

If they say it's a dark elf settlement, it's not strange to have a magic item… or a kind of material to use for it.

Given Ray's hobby, it was only natural that he wanted to go to that dark elf settlement.

"Right. And I'm worried about the ingredients."

"... an oak."

I guess you remembered when you went to the Marina settlement. Vihera turns a slightly dazed gaze... Bühne turns her gaze of anticipation to Ray so she can't think from the attitude she had when she was talking about gem magic.

When we went to the settlement where Marina grew up before, there were quite a few oaks near that settlement.

For Ray, oak is a delicious monster.

... that's not delicious in the sense that ingredients and demon stones sell high, but rather delicious monsters in the sense that they literally eat.

There are still tons of oak meat in Ray's mysteries, but they are often eaten on a daily basis just to be caught in large quantities, and their consumption naturally increases.

Now I still have plenty of room, but if I can still replenish it, it was Ray's real intention to replenish it.

Orcs are stronger than goblins and cobolts alone, and most importantly, they have the intelligence to work with their peers.

For a man, he's a nasty opponent to fight, and more than that, for a woman, Orc is a hateful enough person to go into actions such as discovery and instant murder.

It was such an oak, but for Ray it is only the presence of delicious meat.

"Right. For the Dark Elves, the orcs are in the way, right?

"I won't deny that. But the oak will also be food if you knock it down, so if you're going to win, you should make sure you get a hold of the settlement.... oh, I think it's time."

In the middle of the conversation, the marina's gaze is directed at a kiln a little further away.

That was, as usual, the kiln that Ray removed from the mistering, but the ingredients that are baked in it today were different.

... because that's part of Giganto Turtle's meat that just broke up today.

Even the marina, who's been an adventurer for a long time, is the first Giganto Turtle meat to eat.

Naturally, everyone had a strong interest in the flavor... but the jewellery magic situation made me completely forget the area.

From the kiln, however, there is a scent that stimulates the appetite, as if to let you know that it has been cooked.

Everyone turns their gaze to the kiln, even though they had already eaten some food.

"I didn't know how to cook it, so for now I just usually seasoned it with salt and baked it... again, it smells delicious for a long time"

With that said, the marina uses spiritual magic to remove Giganto Turtle's meat from the kiln.

That meat placed on the table is present in several chunks of meat about fist size.

"I've never eaten a turtle, so I don't know what it tastes like... but it looks delicious again"

Ray honestly says as he looks at the meat on the table.

It's just seasoned with salt, and although it uses some vanilla, it's a very simple dish to cook.

Still, the dish seems very delicious because the superb aroma of the meat itself is mixed with the smell that drifts around it.

"Take it... eat it from Ray. Ray brought the meat, so I'm sure Ray's the first one to eat it."

I nod back to the marina, who tells me so, that there are no other objections.

(Maybe you're going to make it taste poisonous or something... right?

That's what I thought for a moment, Ray, but there's no reason I'm not happy that I was the first to be told I could eat this meat.

Take one piece of meat onto your plate, don't cut it with a knife as it is, stab it with a fork and twist it.

The first thing I felt was the taste of salt and the aroma of vanilla.

But at the next moment, the taste of meat spreads throughout the mouth.

The turtle meant that Ray had predicted whether it tasted close to chicken like a bug snake, but the texture and flavour he ate was a different substitute for chicken though not very much.

That's what Ray's vocabulary says, so I don't know how to describe it.

In fact, Ray has eaten a lot of meat when he was in Japan, and since he came to Elgin.

But for Ray, the meat in his mouth is clearly different from the meat he's been eating.

Different texture, different feel of meat that can be dissolved in your mouth, different taste of gravy flowing out of it, and different aftertaste that is spreading in your mouth when you are done swallowing it.

(The basic thing is... is it chicken after all? No, but somehow I feel like that's different, too. Less flavors than chicken such as inland chicken or squid chicken.)

Ray's father had various kinds of chickens in relation to doing the fighting.

Among them were also chickens such as the more mainland chicken, which is famous as one of the three continental chickens of Japan, and the chicken, which is very nourishing and delicious in China, and most importantly, even the meat was black bonito chicken.

Since those are chickens we keep purely for eating, not for fighting chickens, Ray has naturally also helped strangle them or eaten them.

All of them are definitely delicious meats, but Giganto Turtle's meat is more than that… it has the kind of deliciousness to say another dimension.

"Delicious."

In the end, that's the only word out of Ray's mouth.

But I guess you understood that just one word of Ray like that would taste good enough.

Others, including the marina where they cooked, take Giganto Turtle's meat to their plate and eat it.

... the only person to imitate such a direct twist as Ray was Bühne, though the other faces had cut the meat with a knife firmly and carried it to his mouth.

Everyone stops moving because of the taste and texture of the meat they taste.

I can't even say what it feels like to Elaine, the Duke of Keller, or Vihera, the former Empress of the Bestian Empire, if it tastes like I've never eaten before.

Seto and Yello, who are eating meat on plates placed on the ground, also do not ring one bell to the amazing delicacy, but concentrate on the flavour of meat.

Ray also carries meat into his mouth without saying anything more.

Everyone says nothing as it is and tastes Giganto Turtle's meat...... eventually silence continues until all that meat is gone.

"... you're gone."

The marina squeaks unfortunately due to the loss of all the meat that was on the table.

Still, I wouldn't say whether to cook it again, probably because I had that feeling that once I did, I would eat up the meat indefinitely.

"Right.... In the meantime, it was clear that Giganto Turtle's meat was extremely delicious. Let's just figure it out, but this time we'll think it was enough."

To Ray's words, Marina nods.

Vihera gives an unfortunate look, and surprisingly even Bühne, who usually doesn't change her expression very often, gives an unfortunate look.

Elaine and Arla seemed a little sorry too, but they still didn't say anything in the end... to taste the freshly baked bread and soup that Ray had removed from the mysteries.
