Sword of Glutton Princess

Episode XXII: The Scent of Melanoma Mushrooms "Drun"

The food was finished and I finished arranging it on my desk.

This time the dish was "Salad of Leaf Egg (Cavens) and Smoked Meat", "Grilled Red Beef (Rakau) Shaped (Terinu)", "Grilled Gold with Ghost Chicken (Orga Chicken)" and "Stewed Oil (Hijon) with Gorile Bream (Orausna)".

Grilled meat or chopped vegetables are cooked in square shapes, grilled gold is cooked in honey-based sauce, and stewed oil (hyjon) is cooked in seasoned oil.

'Oh, oh...!

Belzevute's exclamation comes to light.

The body of the Devil's Sword Berzera seemed oddly glossy for some reason.

'D, Dean... Are you sure your concubine can eat all this!?

"Not everything."

Can't you see that this bulimic demon has me and Mani and Edda here?

I wish it were merely the Ayanomoto of the Word, but in the case of Belzevute, caution was needed because there was a priori who destroyed me and Mani's meal the moment it materialized.

'Well done, boy! Kuku, whether it was just the nucleus of the demon or not, it was worth it to escape into the current world of Ill Miss! Good thing they were blowing their flesh then!

"... shouldn't you just put some more of your body on top?

Originally, Belzebute talked about being one of the rulers in the demonic world (Augor).

Will Belzevute not be spared the loss of status then?

But I can't imagine what the world of demons is like.

'Don't be stupid, Dean. Let me advise Ningen, who can only live a hundred times at best, as the corner of the former Seven Sins King. Wealth and power are the means and cannot be the end. It's just a fantasy created by paranoia, such as it makes sense in itself'

Maybe that's true.

I am and have always been plagued by a lack of money, but what I really want is not money, but the stability of life that I gain from it.

In retrospect, there may have been occasional slips out there and imprisoned by the money itself.

I almost forget listening to something I usually miss, but I was made to recognise that Belzevute is a great demon who lives more than a thousand years.

Belzevute's words sometimes have inclusions.

I might have looked at her a little.

I mean, there's no food, there's no ingredients, there's no value in the Throne of the Demon Realm.

"Hey, you'll be pissed off by the other demons"

... I knew it might have been my fault.

Belzevute is Belzevute.

"Though I've thought of it since I saw the ingredients... this time, you really put your strength into it. Isn't it a long time since Dean got this far?"

That's what Mani said as he watched the dishes lined up on his desk.

"The corner Edda came for me, and sometimes I thought I'd have to work a little more Belzevue."

"Uhm, um! It's a good idea, Dean! Come on, quickly materialize your concubine with psychic magic (Trupa)!

"Demon Eating Sword Berzera" rolls down the floor with a gobble.

... this guy seems to be able to fly away and poke enemies in it alone.

"It's often so elaborate. Aren't cooks better suited than adventurers?"

Edda also said so with her arms around her.

"Ha ha... that's unusual, I can't believe Edda complimented me on letting go"

"... ironic. It would have been a little easier for me if my cooking arm had been a little bit more swordsmanship."

"Ugh."

Yes, they poked me where it hurts.

I read swordsmanship books, and have had light guides from other adventurers, but I'm basically self-taught.

I didn't have an incisive opponent, and I've barely played anything like a mock match.

From Edda, who came here to polish swordsmanship over children in the tribe, I guess my sword will show up in something awkward.

"Ma'am, can I also ask you to guide me when you get a chance?

"Hum, I can't help it. So I'm the one who's gonna pull my leg off."

Edda said that somewhere happily, back-to-back with words.

... It's going to be another full day.

Distribute the dishes and tell Belzevute to only eat his share.

... because if we didn't, Belzevute might have eaten as much as we did.

Then he waved the Demon Eater Sword Belzeera, and created the incarnation of Belzevute in the "Petite Demordi" of Spiritual Magic (Trupa).

As usual, Belzevute showed up diving through the magic formation and quickly followed him to his desk chair.

My mouth is already smudged with saliva.

"Ho, ho, ho! Wouldn't it be better if we looked closer this way! Behold, behold, Dean! Give me this golden grill gloss! Definitely delicious!

Look, I'm the one who made it...

"... Whatever it is, I'm more than happy for you. If you feel as good and happy as Belzebute, I'm worth making."

Belzevute put his face closer to the dish and smelled it softly.

"Mmmm...? It smells so fragrant from the salad. I don't see anything unusual being used... Is this from the dressing?

"Yeah, I actually use a mushroom called Melanoma Mushroom (Drun) for my dressing."

Melanoma mushrooms (Drun) are mushrooms that grow in the back of the forest.

It is black, unlike regular mushrooms, and has a mockingjay shape.

The taste is almost tasteless, and the texture is not particularly good.

However, the aroma of melanoma mushrooms (Drun) is definitely a first-class product.

It is often described as an intense fragrance that condenses the forest.

Above all, it blends in without disturbing other ingredients, even though it emits such an aromatic smell, if only handled well.

And it multiplies the appeal of the ingredients.

"It's a luxury ingredient, but it's out at a cheap value. I thought Belzevute would like it too, so I bought it."

Melanoma mushrooms (Drun) are also included in the "Grilled Red Beef (Rakau) Shape (Terinu)" and the "Oil-boiled Gorilla Bream (Orausna) (Hijon)".

One dish after another flattens as Belzevute shines his eyes.

Glad we split the dishes well in advance.

With this momentum, they were definitely taking everything.

"Uhm! Uhm! Wonderful! I almost got fooled into thinking that Poor Potato (Poat) cooking would be bad if the idea was elaborate, but the quality is still different! The goodness of each ingredient, its harmonious taste, is the only dish!

As always, Belzevute talks about his vision of food that he doesn't know where he got it.

"Hi..."

"It's Dean! You'll definitely be purchasing Melanoma Mushrooms again! This is an order! I will definitely have it cooked again!

Belzevute's mouth was stained by the sauce on the "Red Beef (Rakau) Shaped Grill (Terinu)".

Whenever new ingredients and dishes come out, I feel like Belzevute is saying the same thing......
