Immediately after Rifa returned, Chisato and Mel returned with plates and drinks that had been cooked in both hands.
Sooner or later, we sat down and decided to have a somewhat late lunch in the ever-growing street.
"Honestly, the first thing that struck me in this world was the food situation."
I know.
I knew you too, Kite?
She nods to the words of Chisato, who said so while loosening the fish beautifully.
Sif and Rifa are eating a meal in front of them with a sense of selflessness.
"There was something delicious in the world I was in, but this one is also delicious."
"Yeah. Sometimes it's similar to condiments, but it's good to have something we don't know."
"Does Chisato and Kate's world cook that differently?"
I'll answer Mr Mel's question.
"Well, there are many differences, but it doesn't change that delicious things are delicious."
Hee, I'm a little curious.
Mel seemed interested.
Looking at her like that, Chisato smiles face to face.
"There are places in our world where we cook and eat insects."
"Eh!? Bugs?!? That's a lie, isn't it, Kate?"
"Um? I've eaten some strawberry stew before... but there are other things like bee babies and insects."
When I was little, I was able to eat it without any resistance, but I was a tenant of strawberries.
The taste is sweet and resembles a small fish with almonds that comes out for lunch, but it doesn't look good.
Even if you like animals, you can't eat insects.
"Hey, Chisato."
"Huh? Hmm, yeah. That's right."
I was distracted by why he shook me up.
No way, you know there's an edible bug, but you didn't know what's at stake?
Speaking of which, Kate, can you avoid insects?
"Oh, yeah."
Chisato asks if he's trying to change the subject.
Nodding to it, she looks envious.
"I'm usually jealous of that. I mean, mosquitoes... cocks... that black pussy won't even stop by, right?"
"I'm proud of the few people I've been born with who have never been bitten by a bee or a mosquito. And what about black assholes?"
"Eh!? You don't even know it exists!? I see! He won't show up because he won't stop by...!"
Fufu, human mosquito incense is exactly what I am.
No, I was nicknamed that way in elementary school.
Instead, the beetle and quail could not even touch each other.
No worms.
It's so cool.
Mel. Are you with an insect monster? "
"It's time to eat, so let's stop talking about this."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Mel blushes his face because he remembers something.
It certainly wasn't something to talk about during the meal. I have to reflect.
I think so, I cheek up the fish skewer I took with my drink at hand.
Below the shaken skin of salt is a thick body that adds to your appetite.
I don't know about the fish, but it's delicious enough to think it doesn't matter. [M]
"... okay"
Pick the cut green citrus fruit on the plate.
Fold it in two and pour the fruit juice into the white body where the hot air rises, and stick to it.
At first sip, the isolated taste runs through my mouth. [M]
It has a flavor and acidity that makes you feel unusual sweetness unlike lemon.
It draws the grilled fish so much that it seems to be calculated that it cannot help roaring it.
Kite-kun?
"... hah. Sorry, what is it?"
"No, because I was eating with my real face..."
Looks like she was obsessed with the food in front of her.
Maybe he's kind of looking forward to eating something like this since he came to this world.
Bo thinks about that, and eats the fish continuously.
Yeah, it's delicious.
You can have as many as you want.
Speaking of which, Chisato.
"Yeah? What, Rifa?"
As he remained focused on the fish at hand, Rifa spoke to Chisato.
I heard that the monster's movement was hasty, but has it been going on for a long time?
"No, it's only recently that I've become active. I think it was around the time you guys came to the kingdom. At that time, powerful monsters appeared, causing the Alliance and the Kingdom to deal with it in a hurry."
"... is the Demon King Army doing something again?"
Rifa looks at us and asks.
Monster activation.
Speaking of coincidence, it can be cleared up, but when a troublemaker called the Demon King Army is involved, it cannot be separated by coincidence.
"I don't think we can throw away the possibilities."
"Well, you should be able to move whenever something happens."
Though not publicly said, Rifa is a brave man.
If the Demon King Army wants to do something, we move.
"The Demon King Army. I don't know if I can tell you anything."
"What does the Kingdom of Filgen think of the Demon King army?"
Do you feel more at risk than Hendir?
Chisato puts his hand on his jaw to answer such a question.
"Hmm, no sense of crisis? I think the Demon King army won't move soon, so I feel relaxed. There's a bit of optimism here, my king."
"Chisato-san!? Well, I don't know who's listening!"
"You need to exchange information like this."
"Yes, of course, but...."
No sense of crisis, huh?
That might be a little dangerous.
"Kate, you and Rifa have been in contact with the Devil's Army, right?"
"Yes. Gorillas attacked me."
"Gorilla?"
"Hey, that doesn't make sense."
Confused Chisato.
I will explain instead of Rifa because it does not convey anything.
"I was attacked by Reefa's sister, a Demon King Warlord. Well, I managed to defeat it then."
"Onee-san is the leader of the Demon King Army. Rifa is in trouble too."
"The sister of the brave and the sister of the Demon King army cadre... it's an ugly sister relationship..."
If I may say so, it's a rather complicated relationship.
Well, Nia wouldn't mind that either.
Kite's been targeted.
"... eh, why?"
"Well, Kite has the magic of the Pure Demon, and he's after it."
Sif explains this on my behalf, Chisato and Mel look puzzled but convinced.
"Of course, the magic of the Pure Demon was a rare magic. My magic teachers and subordinates are also very interested....."
"It's good magic in that it's easy to be liked by monsters, but it's a structure that attracts trouble to the inside after a while. Well, as a tamer, it's definitely one of the best qualities."
To be honest, I don't really understand the magic of the Pure Demon either.
However, I know that magic has properties that are highly pure, avoided by animals, and easily liked by monsters, but I don't know anything else about it.
If it's just magic to be sacrificed as a monster...
The conversation is interrupted as it is, and each person has time to eat while having a chat.
When there was little food left on the plate, Chisato spoke to me. [M]
"Kate, did you study reading and writing?"
"Of course. I had to remember. I was treated like a poor man."
"That's right...."
Reading and writing was essential to living as an adventurer.
So thanks to studying little by little, I can now read and write to a certain extent.
... the text is a bit like a worm.
"So... do you read a book or something?"
"Book?"
That reminds me that Chisato was a book lover.
Just before I was summoned, I liked it so much that I was reading a book when it rained.
I myself nodded at her words because I had read a novel to my liking. [M]
Yeah, I'll read it normally.
"Yes, I see... I see..."
What's the three-tier use?
When she leans her neck towards Chisato, who mutters so emotionally, she looks up as if she had made up her mind.
So, are you interested in the castle books?
"What, from the castle? Is there something there?"
"I have a lot of books. It's an ancient tradition of god beasts, monster books, and maybe Kate is interested."
"... hmm, I might be interested."
Above all, I think he wants to go because he looks up at me with the eyes he expects.
Nodding at her words brightens up her expression.
Mmm!
Looking silently at the exchange, Rifa had a faint look on her face one day.
