232 9-12 Sand Country Roukaku What is the taste of the earth dragon?

"So..........that's why........ The name "Crushed Meatball Fist" comes from the fact that the fist is enlarged and resembles a meatball, not a fist, after years of practice......... .....

Mr. Kuduro asked me to rub my lower back area and I decided to do the procedure in the back of the truck.

At that time, I asked him about the Crushing Paw Fist since I was going to ask him about it.

By the way, I asked him not to say anything else about spatial magic because he was surprised when he floated in the air, even if he was Renge's sister and queen partner, and I told him.

I was curious because Kuduro-san has a pawpaw, but Solte and Lenge, who are also beastmen, do not have one.

As a result, it was something that I wish I hadn't asked.......

What the hell. The practice of hitting a rock with your palm until it shatters endlessly.

By the time he was able to shatter it with a single blow, a meatball was formed, and although it was soft, the elasticity that produced destructive power was something to be desired....

But if you let me touch it, it's a little rough, but it's really a meatball!

Doesn't that feel good, a**h*le?

I don't want to see an old man get comfortable with his master's hands.

'I don't want to hear that...'

He told me to heal him because I'd have to fight after this....

Renge said something stupid like if you hit him, he'll be cured.

'I'm sorry............................... But still, you really saved my life......... Noooooooo!　Thank you, Princess.

Kuduro thanked him while writhing in pain and feeling good.

In response to that, Renge was meek, or rather, she was waving her hand in the air, trying to treat it appropriately.

'Yes, yes. You can tell your husband about that kind of thing. I'm not young, and I'm not young enough.

The Lord told me to tell the Princess, too. Ooohhhhh!

And I said something embarrassing, so I'm going to push a little harder.

Well, just once, just once.

''Come to think of it, earth dragons are demons.

That's right. It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to see the difference. It's called "earth dragon" because of its appearance and strength, which is created when the natural large magic stone is added to the earth's magic power.

I thought it was a dragon species or something, but it's actually a lizard.

It seems that if you leave the jitryu as is, another jitryu will be born from the magic stone, and now Shiro, Aina and Sorte have gone to remove the magic stone for me.

By the way, it seems that if you strip off the meat first and then take the magical stone, it will remain intact, so Shirou seems to be examining it carefully before removing it.

Good. It's about time. How do you like it?

Huh.... no pain, and you're feeling much lighter.

Just for the record, I'm an amateur, so please don't take it too hard, okay?

No, no, he's a pretty good shot.　What do you think?　Would you like to work as the court's personal masseur?

The only thing you should not do, Mentor, is to stop doing that........ Some of the higher-ups in the kingdom and the empire have already had their eyes on you, and you're going to cause a lot of unneeded resentment.

Are you saying some of them are Iris and Miss Sicilian?

I wouldn't hold a grudge for that much........

Or rather.........

I don't want to be a courtesan...

I can already see the absolute hassle that comes with it.

I'm 120% satisfied with my life right now, but there's no way I'm going to change it.

I'm not interested in power or aristocracy at all.

I'm not going to be able to get it right. If the Lord were here, I could have stood for the position of combat instructor. It's a pity we can't retrain those cowards.

Apparently, the army of Lokak is not that strong.

Nevertheless, I unfolded the map, and according to Kuduro-san's explanation, the army is handling the half that is far from the kingdom, and it seems that Kuduro-san was planning to go around the area from the capital to the royal capital all by himself.

Now that Kuduro-san's back is healed, we're going to have a policy meeting with the map open.

But we have already decided what we will do, so we just ask him and tell him what we will do.

'Well, we'll go around by ourselves then.

''There are far more princesses like that than there are...''

I'm more afraid of ruining my grandfather's back and...

'Well..... Some places are far apart, we'll go around like this and Mr. Kuduro will go here and here....

''Mmmm ... it's very distressing to leave this country to you, but ...''

You say that, but this old man is going to be all up in arms again that his back is healed.

It would be more helpful for us not to have to go around if you go around to the lesser side quietly.

After that, they continue to try to persuade us, and the discussion about what to do about it goes on for a long time.

I'm sure you'll be able to help me out. Then I'll take care of you.

And reluctantly, Mr. Kuduro finally admitted it.

''Oh, please do stop by the castle. There's a reward for you, of course!　And....

I know that. I'll get paid as well, and Coren is a pain in the ass....... But as soon as I show my face, I'll leave.

So, our plan from now on is to split into two groups and defeat the earth dragons while going to Renge's sister to receive the reward.

After that, we decided that we would go back home via the Point Gate.

''Lord, I finished getting the magic stone. Meat!　Grill me some meat!

Yeah, Wendy's working on it. .... or, as I said, you're a quick eater.

Hmm. I'm hungry to move.

'Speaking of meat, is it the flesh of a ground dragon?　That was....

White. The meat was cooked but I honestly don't know about this one...

When Wendy brought the earth dragon meat on a plate, a savory and delicious smell tickled her nose as she immediately tried the dish the landlady had taught her.

However, Wendy has a very subtle look on her face.

''Lord, can I try it?''

Yeah, go ahead.

White reached for his plate as if it didn't matter and stabbed boldly with his fork and took a bite.......a bite.......

White pulls as hard as he can with his bite.

It looks like he's putting all his strength into it, but it's going to be difficult to tear it off.

"Jiryuu's meat is too hard to eat. If you want to eat it, you'll need to cook it for hours to soften it.　And I don't want to take the trouble to eat it...

'Oh yeah...'

Mmmm!　.........hmm. Munching and munching....

White finally seems to have chewed it off, but somehow, only his mouth is moving at high speed without changing his expression.

''In the meantime, this is the one piece I burned.......what should I do.......?

'Uh ... do you want me to stew in my magical space?'

That way they could cook on the move.

I've heard it's not something you'd want to spend a lot of time on, but there's a lot of meat, so I guess I'll do that in terms of processing it.

''Cocoon. Shiro will be responsible for eating the rest, but it's delicate........

No, I'll eat it too. I'll have to taste it...

But I can't chew through it, so I've since had it cut off with a boiling white knife.

It's the sensation of having to chew endlessly on fatty meat that isn't soft and red meat that you can't bite off.

This is jaw-draining.........

''Disappointing meat........''

This is by far the best black mome I usually eat.

White's tension is lowered even as I look at it.

Well, well, even though it was a ground dragon, it was a demon.

And it's a lizard. So it's skeleton meat........

They are usually found deep in the earth, swimming in the desert like the sea, rarely seen on earth, with valuable, expensive and delicious meat...

What Kuduro-san pointed at was a supermassive worm swimming lazily in the desert while catching its breath.

Oooh.........looks huge........

''Uh........sorry, but I can't have worms.......''

What a..... Hmm. That's an unexpected weakness.

Well, bugs seem to be a common food in this world, and maybe you're less likely to be like me...

Why is a waxworm a speciality, too, a bug!

I'm just hungry for Catapylus!

I've never had one before.

'Master, the landlady didn't include me in her cooking, so I'm fine!

Thank you.....

Come to think of it, we had meat earlier too.

I'm glad it wasn't worm meat........

I'm so glad.

Sorry about that, White. Looks good, but.....

Hm. It's okay. If the Lord doesn't like it, White won't eat it either. The ground dragons weren't very nice, but I'll hunt them down.

Speaking of which, the princess's companion was strong, but Lord White is also very strong.

Hmm?　White is strong!

Haha. You certainly have the strength to say so. Hmm. As I recall, Lord-dono was an alchemist, wasn't he? The battlefield is....

No, I can't. I'm working out, but it's just for self-defense.

That's unusual for a drifter.... I see. That's why you were evacuated........ You are able to understand your own abilities and act accordingly. That's a noble thing to do.

Yeah, well, I can't keep my promise to Mr. Kudrow if anything happens to me.

Be quiet, stay out of the way, don't try anything, and don't get in my way.

I know exactly what I'm supposed to do.

...but when the time comes, that's not the case.

Oh-ho. I'm not worried about you, sir. I'm confident that you will keep your promise to me.

Kuduro-san laughs with a calm expression and sends a wink to me with a snap.

Old...

But I don't think a man has a wink........
