"Hey, stop it! It's definitely not delicious! It's not something that humans can eat!"

"What's curious is the privilege of the child, but it's too crazy!"

Irvine and Malt scream and stop.

"Even if you're OK, you can eat deliciously if you cook properly! Do you think you'll love Irvine and Malt?"

"" Never say that! "

I speak and point, but Irvine and Malt immediately deny.

What do you say? Move around with this undulation and look at the brown body with countless suckers on the soles of your feet, and you'll have an appetite ... and it won't come.

You do n’t look like you can eat anything. Old people are really amazing.

Yeah, it's okay if you prepare and boil it, it will turn red like shrimp. If you go that far, it looks delicious.

Irvine warns me again when I look scared.

"If you stop, you're out now?"

"It's okay. I'll give it a good taste."

Because of my friend who loves fishing in the previous life, I have also done octopus preparation.

I don't think it will fail unless there is a structure unique to another world. And octopus is much easier to prepare than fish.

"... I'll never poison you?"

If you thought that Irvine would stop, you were afraid of it. Even so, poisoning is rude.

"It's okay, I won't let you be poisoned."

I answered so with a carefree smile, and Irvine took an open face.

I might taste it.

"Al looks more like a hero than a fairy tale."

"... Do you really eat?"

Malt and Douglas make a really surprised voice.

"Well, if Al can do it? If you can, eat it!"

"Is rumba scary?"

Douglas fearfully asks Rumba, who proclaims to smile and eat octopus.

"Al is always developing new dishes. Did Irvine and Malt eat in the dining room of Coriat Village, too? Spaghetti, fried eggs, etc."

"I ate ... but that's what Alfleet made?"

"that's right"

Irvine asks Rumba fearfully, but I answered that question by boasting her chest. Well, spaghetti is a product that Bartolo has completed, gently spreading knowledge of the past.

"It's a lie! A guy trying to eat this kind of thing can't make such a delicious and sophisticated dish! It's the most up-to-date and popular dish in the Misfilit Kingdom !?"

Just saying that you eat octopus is a terrible thing.

Nevertheless, I didn't know that spaghetti was in such a position.

Well, it's a dish that can be used as a substitute for bread. I don't have that much stomach.

"If Alfleet made that dish, it could be delicious too ... no, no, octopus is impossible, isn't it?"

The malt is groaning, looking at the octopus.

If you don't want to eat, don't force yourself that much, but do you think you'll want to eat once the dish is complete?

◆ ◆ ◆

That's why I asked Douglas and the chef of the kitchen to borrow the edge of the kitchen.

However, I was worried about what would happen with a small child alone, so I decided to have an assistant cook.

This time, my assistant is Elam, who has been a cook for five years.

A young man characterized by gentle drooping eyes with blonde blue eyes.

Because it is a chef, unlike a muscular sailor on the deck, his physique is very delicate and he wears clean white cook clothes.

"... Ah, are you really doing it?"

"I'll do it, cook the octopus."

When he replied flatly to Elam asking, Elam began to look far away.

The cooks and the Irvines who are observing the scary sight of our conversation are looking at Elam with mercy.

It ’s okay, it ’s okay. I won't die.

Speaking of octopus cooking, the procedure is simple. First, remove the contents of the head. Two, remove your eyes. 3. Wash with water. Four, salt fir. Five, boil. Six, cool. There is no problem if you follow these steps.

"Then, Elam. Please tighten it first, then remove the contents of your head as a preparation."

When you give instructions to the stunned Elam while pointing to the octopus on the cutting board, Elam returns to me.

"Do you have a gut in your head?"

"Do you seem to have some internal organs somewhere else?"

"... It looks like there's nothing other than my head."

The octopus has a structure with eight legs, arms, eyes on the head, and a bulging head on the upper body, so the internal organs are packed in the bulging body It will be.

"... So Alfleet. How do you tighten?"

Elam shows a suspicious expression while holding the kitchen knife.

"Because there is a nerve between the eyes, stab with a kitchen knife. It is about 5 mm below the eyes."

"This is here !?"

"Yes, it should turn white if it can be tightened properly."

"I'll do it!"

Respond with a clear speech so as not to disturb Elam.

Then, Elam slowly brings the knife closer to the octopus.

"Oh, I forgot, but let the octopus sucker stick to the chopping board, otherwise the octopus rampages-"

"Hiiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh

He reminded me of his caution, but seemed to be late, and an octopus wrapped around Elam's right arm.

Elam is wrapped around a tentacle-like creature, and screams and shakes her arms as she swings.

However, the octopus sucker cannot be separated by that much.

If you stay away from Elam's arm, the octopus will wrap your legs more.

Elam notices that he goes crazy, but somehow grabs the octopus with his left hand, but he can't grab it because of his slime.

Wow, right arm swallowed by octopus.

"Please take somebody a little! I won't get away, and I'm trying to grab it and I can't get it!"

"Hey, wait, Elam! Don't come here! If you come here, you'll get fired!"

"Cook long !?"

Elam asks her friends for help, but the afraid chef cuts off Bassari and Elam.

Although the expression of the stunned Elam looks like a haniwa, it is very interesting, but if you leave it any more, I will cry and escape, so I will help you.

"Hey, Elam. I'm going to tighten it, put my arm out here."

"Yes, yes!"

When I said so, Elam immediately extended his right arm.

Then I listen carefully to the state of the octopus and grab my torso with my left hand.

Then I stabbed my knife with my right hand into the nerve between the eyebrows.

The knife seemed to be able to cut the nerve cleanly, and the color of the octopus changed from reddish brown to white like gray.

Thanks to being able to tighten, the power of the octopus came off, and Elam managed to tear off the octopus from his arm.

"... arms ..."

Elam checks his arms while taking a rough breath.

Elam's arm had countless sucker marks, probably because of the octopus sucker.

I don't want to say much, but it's a bit uncomfortable.

I keep my facial expressions from becoming too strong and speak brightly to regain my mind.

"Okay, let's get the internal organs of the head."

"Yes, yes."

Elam's spirit seems to have been greatly reduced, but she didn't seem to be losing her mind.

Because you may have cooked a variety of sea creatures besides fish, Elam will surely get used to it immediately.

"Put your finger on this head and flip it over. Then take it by hand because it contains liver and cotton. Be careful not to break the black ink bag alone."

As I explained, Elam put his hand in the gap in his head and turned the contents upside down.

It's a shocking picture for those who don't cook very much, but maybe she's accustomed to processing the internal organs in fish dishes, but Elam frowns and takes off the internal organs.

Then have Elam drop the octopus eyeball, and the octopus preparation is complete.

"Because the preparation is over, the next step is to get slimy."

With the octopus on the cutting board, we move to the sink.

At the same time, another cook at the sink moves to the edge at once.

When you press the switch on the faucet, a little magic power is sucked from my body and water flows.

"Now, my assistant, Elam. Please wash the octopus."

"Ueh eh eh !? Wow, what am I?"

"It's difficult to wash it on a wooden box like this. It also requires more power."

It's not because it's bothersome to take the octopus slime or you don't want to touch it too much. It's more efficient to do it with a powerful and powerful Elam.

"... I don't want to touch it anymore ..."

"I exercise your noble's privileges"

I command the whining Elam in a strict tone.

"You can tell me more like eating fresh meat, drinking alcohol, or eating a sea dragon called the sea delicacy !?"

……What's that. Do ordinary aristocrats say such unreasonableness? Isn't it crazy?

"... Elam, wash the octopus by hand."

"I heard you're a friendly noble who doesn't say selfishness ...?!?"

Elam is washed with octopus with tears and reluctance.

"Let the octopus lie down and slide it from your head to your feet."

"Hi-ii-ii-ii !?"

I understand my feelings. When I first washed it, it felt the same.

If you feel like a squeaky touch when you wash your hand like an octopus ...

Then, while screaming, Elam thoroughly rinses the octopus with water and soaks in salt.

Eram stopped screaming when he was rubbing salt, but I was worried that his expression gradually disappeared.

Surely Elam must have got used to the octopus.

◆ ◆ ◆

While it was cooking, it was evening, and the sky and the sea had begun to turn red.

Gradation from red to blue. The waves that glitter and reflect the sunset are beautiful.

I seemed to be able to catch a lot of fish while I was in the kitchen, so I had a feast on the deck tonight.

The top of the deck was polished cleanly by the sailors, and now long tables were lined up.

The sailors and silver wind members were already sitting beside the table and had a fun conversation in front of the colorful fish dishes.

I was worried that my octopus dish was placed in the middle of each table, just to test my chest.

"Hey, Al. This is it."

On the table where many octopus dishes and dos tuna sashimi are placed, Irvine was waving like my special seat.

"Let's cook! Today we can catch a lot of food and the dishes are gorgeous! We can all eat ourselves!"

Everyone is sorry for Douglas's last words.

If you get drunk, you won't be able to work tomorrow.

"Well! What is the sake you leave before this much rice ..."

"Isn't it okay if it's a weak fruit liquor? Douglas says it's just as good."

"Patience. Did you drink so much that you could drink in esport?"

"It's no use if you drink it, it's not as good"

Aleucia and Ilya can taste Irvine and Malt who groan and shake.

Speaking of which, it was a big banquet that nurtured the spirit to overcome the sea trip. I completely forgot.

I still feel like killing because I still can't drink.

This time there is sashimi ...

"That's toast!"

"Cheers!"

Put a glass of fruit water or wine according to Douglas's lead.

Irvine, malt, and of course I'm fruit water.

In front of my table, there are octopus rice, octopus carpaccio, raw octopus sashimi, cucumber and octopus mixed with akara nuts, and grilled octopus legs.

By the way, it was an octopus, but I tasted it with Elam, but there was no problem. Rather, it was the most delicious and surprising.

I realized that it was wrong to catch and eat immediately.

It was interesting that Elam had a complicated face with the words "... delicious".

The rest is assorted sashimi of dos tuna, steak of doss tuna, grilled salted white fish and a superb fish dish.

"Yeah? What's this? I know I'm a carpaccio, but I've never seen this red one ..."

"That's true. What is this red thing? It looks different from fish."

Aleucia and Ilya immediately noticed the octopus carpaccio in front of them.

They were making a noise on the deck, but they seemed to be enthusiastic about practicing magic and didn't notice.

Irvine and Malt notice each other and smile and nod.

"It's delicious. Try eating it."

"Is it sweet and crunchy and interesting?"

The words I said when I let Elam try it are not enough.

Naturally, they have not eaten octopus yet. It seems that he intends to try after feeding Aleucia and Ilya.

I don't know if other members want to see what they are or that they are octopus. They just look at them as they talk to each other.

"Is that so? I'll have it."

"I'm looking forward to it."

Irvine and Malt, who hide the black smile and don't realize the intention of Malt, smile and eat the octopus carpaccio.

You can hear the sound of a nearby sailor swallowing.

"It's so crunchy and delicious! I wonder if it's a shellfish friend?"

No, it ’s an octopus.

"I don't have any smell at all! I like it because it has a chewy texture.

Certainly, many people are not good at this crisp feel.

Anyway, they seem to like the octopus, and they eat octopus carpaccio one after another.

"... Seriously, is that delicious?"

The word, etc. leaked out of nowhere.

Irvine and Malt looked at them suspiciously, but reached out for the salty octopus leg.

"... This is surprisingly delicious. The more you chew, the more the sweetness and salty flavor spreads, and the more chewy it is."

"Oh, it looks gross, but it can't be broken."

Irvine and Malt make a really surprised voice.

The figure of Irvine eating while looking into the octopus leg from the end of the mouth is particularly suitable. Is it because of an old face?

"I just want sake!"

They fluttered the fruit water and slammed the cup into the table with a sharp voice.

At the same time, another courageous sailor reached out to the octopus and said, "It's surprisingly delicious !?"

Hey, is n’t it delicious?

I look at such a situation satisfactorily.

Then reach out to the sashimi, the best fun of tuna today.

Lightly apply Kagura's soy sauce from the tree and put it into your mouth.

The body with fat is melted in the mouth. It is rich fish meat that never smells green.

The work of soy sauce, which gives a little bit of fat and accents so as not to get tired, is wonderful.

"... Oh, it's different from what I got after all."

Let's breathe in the deliciousness of dos tuna.

I regret that there is no sea near Koriat Village.

However, thanks to this trip, I can always come to the sea with transfer magic.

If you think so, it's just fun.

You should think positively and enjoy life rather than thinking backwards.

I enjoyed the sashimi of dos tuna, and then reach out to taste the raw octopus.

It was difficult to get it with a fork because of the raw octopus, but I managed to pierce it and put it in the plate.

Add some soy sauce to the raw octopus sashimi.

Every time you chew the octopus, the rich taste of the octopus spreads. The sensation of the crisp touch and the sensation when biting the sucker is interesting.

It's a rich flavor you can't taste with an octopus bought at a supermarket ... I think Irvine does a good job fishing octopus.

"... Oh, do you eat octopus raw ..."

Seeing me eating a raw octopus sashimi, Irvine moans.

"... Wait a minute. What did you say now?"

Aleucia asks Irvine with a serious face, as if he had heard Irvine's moaning words.

Ilia, who was next to her, put carpaccio in her mouth and solidified.

Illya's face is very pale, as if she had already imagined it in her brain.

"... nothing."

"Tell"

"I hate it."

"I'm not angry at all"

It has finally come out. A promise that has never been kept since ancient times.

Irvine, don't believe that word!

"... It's a lie! Alyusha will get angry if I say!"

Indeed Irvine. It seems that they have enough knowledge to live for many years.

Aleucia smiles with a smile.

"I'm not angry .... but I'm angry if I tell a lie or know later."

“…………”

Don't be fooled Irvine. Don't listen to such sweet whispers.

It says" I'll boil it down later if I don't say it now. If you say it now, you have to be a little sloppy, right?

It's lighter than paper and it's an untrustworthy word of mouth. It is not a promise that Irvine's security was guaranteed.

“……………”

"That?"

"... ta-"

Stop! Irvine!

"Well, the octopus caught by Irvine is delicious!"

"Did you say? If Al cooks it, it will taste better."

The moment Irvine tried to say nothing, Douglas and Rumba came to our table.

Seeing the two bad guys, I sigh in my heart.

"Oh, octopus!

Aleucia screamed and Ilya fell down.

The promise was not kept because of the unexpected two, and Irvine was relentlessly beaten by Aleucia with his cane.
