Chapter 151.2
Encounter
""Uwaaaah! Uwaaaahh!""
And so, after finishing shopping and returning home, for some reason Serai-san and Shark were crying loudly in the room without even taking off their equipment.
"What's wrong? What happened to you two?"
"Th-That these two didn't follow Coach's instructions and went down to the 2nd floor"
Ah. So that's it. I listen to Nina-san explaining the situation with a sigh of relief.
"So, did you see them? The giant cockroaches on the 2nd floor"
"Aaaah! Don't say that name~!!"
"Uuu they were so big! So big!"
Sigh. I shouldn't have mentioned it.
Although I thought they might be scared, I didn't reveal what kind of monsters were down there. With that, I exchange glances with Ruka and Nana-san, and we can only smile wryly.
"But Coach, you bought quite a lot. What did you buy?"
"Oh, this cras wasn't the one I bought. I hunted for them. (Thud)"
Since I still haven't revealed the spatial storage, I unload the items I brought back from outside after taking them out of the spatial storage.
"What is this!? Crabs? Where did such huge crabs come from??"
"I was walking on the pedestrian crossing I happened to pass by. Well, that one got run over by a dump truck and became crow food, but I defeated one that came out of a spatially connected dungeon and brought it back."
"Wow, it's huge. But what are you going to do with this? Oh, could it be!"
"Yeah, it's a shame, so I thought I'd try eating it."
"""Uwaaaahh"""
As I immerse it in the hot water, the giant crab's meat opens up like a flower all at once. And immediately, when the delicious smell of the crab rises, everyone cheers.
"Oh, it looks delicious!"
"I want to eat it soon!"
Yeah, just wait a moment, you guys. First, I'll do the poison test. Having the skill [Disease Resistance] at times like this, although it's not [Poison Resistance], still gives me a bit of peace of mind.
"Well then, here I go."
I open my mouth wide and take a big bite of the crab's meat. Since it's so big and open, I can't eat it all in one bite.
"""(Chew chew chew)"""
"Hey, how is it? How is it!?"
Wait a minute, Sekira-san.
Hmm? This spreads the crab's flavor throughout my mouth, incredibly delicious. Despite its size, it's not too bland, and the sweetness spreads throughout my mouth, making it feel luxurious. I didn't season it for the poison test, but it would probably be even tastier with ponzu sauce or something.
"Yeah! This is delicious!"
"See! Just one bite! Just one!"
"No, Serai-san, you have to wait and see for a while."
"Eeeh~! Oh, come to think of it, Sensei didn't do a patch test either!"
"I'm fine. I got splashed with crab juice instead of backsplash when I defeated it."
"Whaaat?! That's torture! I can't wait for three hours!"
And so, after being bargained down by Sekira-san and Shark and shortened to a two-hour observation period, the giant crab, which became literally a drool-inducing target, was enjoyed by everyone as they competed to eat it.
I'm pretty bad for just eating monsters, but everyone, let's be a little safer.
