Chapter 15

An iron plate is brought out of the guild.

Apparently, the steak party will start on the street in front of us.

Stones are brought one after another and are piled. The stone pile is completed in no time. It’s annoying in the middle of the street, but when I see that no one complains, it seems that they usually do it.

Then the iron plate is placed on the finished stone pile.

After applying oil and stabilizing the temperature, thickly cut three-necked Wyvern meat was gently placed.

Shhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!

A sharp sound deafened my ears.

Fine oil particles take small steps on the iron plate.

Immediately afterwards, the smell of frying meat drifted.

“looks delicious……”

“Wow!”

Prim and Rir gulped at the same time. Her ears are fluttering, her tail is waving, and her eyes are shining. The breathtaking movement looks like they’re siblings.

“Do I have to cut the muscles of the meat?”

“Oh ~. Zelet-kun, you’re familiar with cooking ~”

“This is common sense.”

No matter how fresh it is, it’s monster meat. It’s not edible beef or pork. Rather, there is a great possibility that it will be harder than that.

Especially the muscle between body and fat should be better cut.

“If you want to eat meat softly, that might be good.”

The Guild Master answers my questions as I ask them.

“But then, the gravy will come out and the taste will be lost. That’s why we recommend low-temperature cooking.”

Certainly, the fire of the instant stone pole is quite small. The meat is finally fried.

The cook standing in front of the kamado carefully checks the degree of baking while placing and opening the silver lid.

When he turned it over, it had a nice pink color.

When this happens, the monster meat looks like a regular loin steak.

The scent is also good. The scent of savory meat wafts around.

“Very …”

It was unconscious, but I was gulping.

I thought it would be good if I could only hunt monsters. If I was told that I wasn’t particular about food and could live on bread alone, I would have done so.

But now I’m certainly expecting it.

I couldn’t take my eyes off the monster meat that was being roasted on the iron plate.

It is cooked slowly over low heat.

As the Guild Master says. Rather than grilling meat normally, it is better to let the juices drip. It is proof that the taste in the meat is well confined.

Once, from the iron plate to the serving plate. The silver lid is closed and the residual heat to slowly transfer the heat is used. Finally, he baked it on high heat and lightly browned it.

The fragrant scent becomes even stronger.

When it was baked, it was served on a wooden plate, and the long-awaited first plate came under me.

“Hey. Is that okay? I ate the first dish?”

“The first dish is for the food provider, we have decided that already, Zelet.”

“Please, please eat, Zelet.”

“Nice, Master”

“Wow!”

Even if they were watching with a grudge in their eyes.

You can give it away, but it’s a big deal. Is it rude to make it unscrupulous?

And-it’s a lie if you say you don’t mind the taste of this monster meat.

“Thank you”

Immediately, I put the knife in and it went in surprisingly smoothly.

It’s as easy as cutting thin skin meat.

The cross section is also beautiful.

With respect to the charred meat outside, the center remains pale pink, and the gravy that shines like a clear stream overflows and slowly spreads on the plate. (TLN: I live on ramen and this made me hungry, but don’t have enough money to spend on steak T_T)

“Isn’t there a seasoning?”

“I’ve sprinkled salt and pepper in advance. You can add sauce, but the best part of the first dish is to eat it without adding anything.”

The cook answered my question while grilling the next meat.

“Then …”

I eat meat without adding anything as he said.

I feel the gaze of the surroundings looking at me painfully.

I opened my eyes not to miss every move and found that everyone was paying attention to the movement of my mouth.

The first dish is an honor, but I will refuse it from the next time.

I chew slowly.

My chin moves so slowly that I can’t even remember it.

Up and down or left and right … Not only the chin, but the tongue was moved frequently to check the taste. The throat refuses to swallow stubbornly and tries to taste the meat to the last minute.

I noticed that I kept chewing even when the meat disappeared from my mouth.

“How was it Zelet?”

Pamela asks mysteriously.

Next to my childhood friend’s face, I found another person swallowing.

I raise my face.

“Ehh …………”

I was crying like a goat.

So good. What is this … Is it really monster meat?

The texture is a little harder than the branded meat.

It doesn’t feel like it disappears when you eat it, but I even thought it was better to have a definite texture.

You can put a lot of effort into your teeth, which makes the juiciness of the meat stand out.

Specifically, the more you chew, the more the gravy with the concentrated flavor spreads into your mouth.

It’s more like tasting a horribly thick meat soup than eating meat anymore.

Naturally, its flavor stimulates the taste sensation and brings an indescribable sense of euphoria.

Katsu …….

The knife hits the plate.

“that?”

I noticed that the steak had disappeared.

A thick-sliced ​​steak thicker than my fingers suddenly disappeared from the plate.

“My meat … is ………?”

“Fufu …. Sometimes Zelet is crazy about rice. Even when I cook, it’s worth making if you’re so enthusiastic about it.”

“Pamela, I-have I finished eating?”

“Yeah. You were eating so fast.”

I can’t believe it.

How many years-no, maybe it’s the first time I’ve been so absorbed in eating that I lost my memory.

But it’s not a dream.

The taste and flavor of the meat that I felt in my mouth was still around my nose when I took a breath.

“You seem to like it, Zelet-san”

Olivia was looking at my face in a daze while smiling.

“I’m sorry, but Zelet-kun. That’s not all.”

The guild master laughs invincibly and distorts his thick lips.

“Eating only one type of meat does not prove that you ate monster meat. The deliciousness of the meat is defeated by the highest grade beef.”

That’s right if you ask.

It was delicious, but when asked if it was more than a branded beef, it wasn’t.

Assuming monster meat, it tasted very amazing, but in terms of taste level, it was one step inferior to the finest brand of beef.

Of course, it’s still delicious enough.

“It’s frustrating, but it can’t be helped. It was born to be eaten. The pieces and monster meat are 100% wild meat. It’s miraculous just because it’s so delicious, but it’s a branded beef. Compared to that, it’s a little short, isn’t it? “

“There is still a reason to choose monster meat.”

The guildmaster smiles again and offers the freshly baked meat.

“That’s right. Well, let’s eat this next time.”

Zelet-kun, you might be addicted to it ~.

TLN:- well sorry for quite a delay, as I said before I was shifting houses so I didn’t have access to my pc, I finally set it up so I ‘might’ be more regular.
