Chapter 16

The steak offered by the guild master was a little different than before.

The outside is lightly roasted, and the red part remains.

I chewed it, thinking that it was just cooked a little differently, and I was completely off guard.

“Soft …”

What is this softness?

It doesn’t feel like it melts, but when you push it with your teeth, it gently pushes back.

My mouth is wrapped in gentleness like a pillow with the finest softness.

The grilled meat on the outside spread the fragrant flavor in the mouth.

The lean meat is lighter than the one I ate earlier, but the unique umami is also difficult to add.

The coarsely ground pepper, which seems to have been sprinkled at the end, stimulated the tongue moderately.

“how?”

The guild master laughs as if he were victorious.

“The taste is completely different. The texture is also … Is it because the parts are different or due to being baked differently?”

“haha……”

It was Olivia, who laughed like ringing a bell, while looking sideways.

“It’s half correct to say that the parts are different …. The parts are the same, but they are taken from different necks.”

“What? Does the taste change so much just because it’s a different neck?”

“If so, please try this next time.”

The cook also brings the baked steak.

Probably I ate steak today like no other day.

Still, my index finger moved to the fragrant steak.

“Maybe this too …”

“Yes, it’s another neck meat.”

I’ll eat it right away.

“Oh!”

I inadvertently left my seat.

My body gets hot. It’s spicy.

I suspect it’s too much pepper, but it’s not.

The taste of the meat itself is very spicy.

The texture is soft and the texture is similar to chicken breast. However, what surprises me is the spiciness of the lean meat.

It’s not as painful to the point of having tears, but the pleasant spiciness that strongly stimulates the tongue and pierces through the nose makes the appetite overflow like spring water.

There are a wide variety of spicy meat dishes.

However, I knew for the first time that the meat itself was spicy.

And when I noticed, I had finished eating again.

First one was a whole sheet. The other two types are half-cut. I had a total of two steaks in my stomach.

I’m not a big eater. I avoid excessive eating, as accurate shooting requires a well-balanced body.

So it was my first time to eat two steaks.

In other words, the neck meat of the three-necked Wyvern was so delicious that even I could eat it without hesitation.

Juicy meat that is as good as branded beef.

Soft meat reminiscent of that of a migratory fish with fat, even though it is light.

Unprecedented meat that lean meat itself has spiciness.

Each one has a great personality and is good …

What surprised me most was that all this meat was taken from the same monster.

Is it possible that each neck has a different taste?

Olivia laughed as I tilted my head.

“This was said by a scholar, who said that the difference in taste of the three-necked wyvern was due to the different nutritional intake of each.”

“Is the nutrition intake different?”

“Even dogs and cats grow at different speeds depending on the individual born. That’s because they were weeded out in the competition for survival with other siblings and they aren’t sucking milk satisfactorily. Simply put, nutrition comes from the difference in intake. “

So that’s it. Not only dogs and cats, but also chicks.

Well, it often happens in humans …

“That is, the same thing is happening with the three-necked Wyvern?”

Wyverns basically take in magical power from thunderclouds, but if they can’t find thunderclouds, they also take in from humans, animals and plants.

At that time, the taste, texture, and even the attributes of magical power will be different for each of the three necks.

“The three-necked wyvern has a very long esophagus. The saliva that leaks from it is so powerful that it dissolves to some extent before it reaches the stomach. It’s hard if food gets stuck in the long neck.”

“Because some nutrients are already absorbed there, the neck meat is particularly good, and the difference in taste is noticeable.”

“That’s right”

So that’s it. It’s not possible normally.

“Interesting …. Demon food …”

When I noticed, such words were spit out in my mouth.

Olivia and the Guild Master then smile.

“You’re right!”

“Hmm. Finally, Zelet-kun changed. At first, he said,’I’m fine if I can just hunt.’ Oh …. People’s growth!　It seems great! !! “

“I didn’t tell a lie. I just need to hunt monsters. That idea doesn’t change. But —“

Let’s admit that I’ve become a little interested in monster food.

“Fufufu … I like honest children. Welcome to the world of monster food.”

The guild master sends a throwing kiss.

Of course, I dodged with all my might.

“Zelet-san, monsters are not ordinary creatures. There are no creatures in nature that have three necks other than monsters. Therefore, monster food sometimes shows us a miracle that we never thought of. I think that is the charm of monster food. “

“Olivia, you’re pretty good.”

“Wow, I just spoke honestly. Don’t tease, Guild Master!”

Olivia hit the guild master lightly. After all, it can only be seen as an action of a child.

Is it a miracle born in the natural world? Hmm, not bad.

“Zelet! Can you be so relaxed?”

Pamela, who had taken notes on how to dismantle, rushed to me.

“What’s wrong, Pamela?”

“There’s nothing! They will eat it all.”

Prim and Rir were in the direction she was pointing at.

“It’s delicious! This meat is very delicious, isn’t it!”

“Wow Ooooooooon! “

Prim and Rir were sticking to the steak.

Still that’s good. They are also meritors. They have the right to eat steak.

However, next to them, there was a pile of dishes.

There might be 50 dishes. When one person and one animal were combined, 100 dishes were over.

Olivia and her friends are taken aback by seeing the stacked dishes.

“Wow, great appetite …”

“Ah, this is ……… I wonder if there is meat for the client. Maybe I have to ask Zelet-kun to pay 6 million gras.”

Hey …

Isn’t that a complete deficit?

“Wow. I ate spicy meat for the first time.”

“Wow! !!“

You guys ahhhhhhhhhhh! !!

My scream was louder than the three-necked Wyvern’s roar and echoed throughout the city.
