"Glenn too!"
"It looks delicious raw."
"I"ll have it lightly grilled please."
Everyone but Freya chose to eat it raw. There is no such culture of eating raw fish in the Dioral Kingdom. I understand the want to avoid it.
Freya"s fish was lightly grilled in front of us with a bit of b.u.t.ter spread on it. The rest was served on a plate. The fish fillet is decorated in the original place and it is as if the fish is still alive.
I guess it"s okay to be entertained every now again, even if it"s just an act.
The food looked great. We were poured a gla.s.s of wine when we sat down. The wine gave off a vintage scent and it is probably something that even the rich have a hard time getting a gla.s.s full of.
"Now, I give a toast to the future prosperity of the Enritta Kingdom and the Dioral Kingdom."
"Cheers."
We raised our cups and took a sip after the toast. Good wine doesn"t just get determined by the taste. It is also determined by the feeling that one gets from drinking the wine. I feel ecstatic from just putting it into my mouth. It goes well with the taste of fresh Sas.h.i.+mi.
"Kearugsama, this fish is delicious! It tastes similar to the salmon caught near the Ice wolf village but even better."
"Glenn wants another one. Just one was not enough."
Setsuna and Glenn finish their fish at record breaking speeds. Prince Casta just laughs it off and makes the chef prepare seconds straight away.
"Eating it raw is kinda scary but it looks delicious."
"Do you want a bite? I guarantee that you won"t get sick."
The freshness is without question and since these fish have been cultivated with the purpose of being food there is almost zero percent chance of them having a sickness.
"Then…just a bite. I don"t really like fish but eating it raw doesn"t taste that bad."
"Although it tastes good, I don"t recommend eating any freshwater fish raw anywhere but here."
Aside from salt water fish, it is usually advised to not eat fish raw. With all the bugs in parasites that can be found in freshwater, it would not be a surprise if you got sick because you ate a parasite.
"I too like fish raw. This artificial pond was created just for the purpose of cultivating these fish."
"It appears that the rich work on a different plane as us."
"Haha, I think I used good money … Well, let"s talk about the future now. I"ll ask the [Healing] hero. What are our conditions for victory and defeat?"
Victory conditions and defeat conditions. It is easy to overlook these conditions but they are things that must be considered in detail so that one can plan for the future.
"Victory is the death of Brett and the eradication of black power. Defeat is that the kingdom of Dioral and Enritta are engulfed in black monsters and the world becomes controlled by Brett."
“I"ll ask you again. If Brett dies, will the black power really disappear? I think that"s the biggest hole in your Brett a.s.sa.s.sination plan. Let"s say you killed Brett. If th eblack power doesn"t disappear, the game is over. You would get surrounded on the spot, and a commander appears in place of Brett and gets revenge on the Dioral Kingdom. I think this kind of future should also be considered."
As expected of one who commands over his country. I too thought of this possiblility but I like to think that if you destroy the root of evil then everything would be solved.
"I don"t deny this possibility but when I killed the old King of Dioral, Everything connected to him died and disappeared. And if this doesn"t happen then we just have to adapt."
"That"s true. It"s not a situation where we have many options. But with the help of the Enritta Kingdom, I think I can offer some help."
After saying that, Prince Casta starts to tell us his plan.
"…Is that possible?"
"I"ve never said anything that I can"t do. With this method I won"t get in the way of your plan and it could even help you out in the end."
"…I"ll have to rely on you. I"m sorry."
The method that we speak of was to make the Enritta Kingdom become a sacrifice. I don"t want to use it but for now, I need as many factors as possible that would increase my winning chances.
"There is no need to apologize. It "s also the battle of the Enritta Kingdom. It "s natural that we too would need to sacrifice something."
"Forgive me. At some point in time, I started to think that this battle was ours alone to fight."
"It"s okay as long as you understand. This battle is a battle of humanity. We, the Enritta Kingdom, must also take part in it. Later, when you go talk with the Demon King, please contact us. We too want as much information as we can get."
Prince Casta waves his hand and a person carrying a birdcage walks in.
"A really well trained carrier pigeon… no, I guess it"s a bird type magic beast."
"Unlike ordinary pigeons, they can not only come back with a homing instinct, but also learn the user"s magical power and make a round trip. There is no faster and more secure means of communication. I"ll leave this one to you."
Two large white pigeons were carried over to us.
"I"ll promise that I"ll send you information as soon as I get any. I"m looking forward to seeing what you can come up with."
"I wish you good luck."
With that we shook hands. With the talk that we had with Prince Casta, we were able to get a few gains. If we continue moving forward like this, I might just be able to reach Brett. No. I have to reach him.
When the night comes, I will immediately go to Eve, get help, gather information from the G.o.d Bird, and increase our chances of victory.
That man deserves to die just from what he did to me in my first life. And he"s done so much more in my second life. I will not be satisfied until I can get the revenge that I came to get.
If it"s to get my revenge, I"m willing to do anything and everything. I"ll use whatever I can to do it.
