Chapter 200
CHAPTER 200: BEING BIG IS GOODEvening, we’d moved from the lake to the kitchen to have a slightly early dinner .
The reason we wanted to eat early was to have the newly caught prey be as fresh as possible . More than that…
「This thing really is huge . 」
「For sure . 」
The prey was too big .
The grilling plate was mostly an octopus plate now .
「Well we can use the golems to cut it up and get rid of it . 」
「Yeah we can leave the hard labor to them!」
The golems were using their power to cut the octopus up into small edible pieces . The food preparation was done mostly by them .
The put a little salt on and covered them with wheat flower . It was turned into a takoyaki kind
of thing… . but it was more like octopus skewers .
「Diachi-san this is really delicious~!」
「n, it tastes really, good . 」
Well, it looks like it was popular with the Dragon Kings .
Athena was also chewing on it . It looked like it was popular with humans as well . There shouldn’t be an issue with the taste .
「Master~ I made another~ It’s octopus marinade . 」
「Oh, thank you Sakura」
Sakura and I continued to make different types of octopus dishes as we ate . However, it was delicious even if we ate it raw like sushi .
As we bit into it there was a delicious type of umami that emerged .
「Since it’s so big, I thought there might be a lack of flavor… . . but this is better than I imagined .
. 」
I murmured…
「J-just so you know, Sanzu Octopus is a high cla.s.s ingredient . The flavor is guaranteed delicious . 」
Dianeia said as she approached .
「Is that so? … . . actually you haven’t been eating very much…are you ok?」
She’d been cooking all the time and not really eating . I was wondering why when Dianeia scratched her cheek bashfully .
「So you noticed? I’m a bit embarra.s.sed……but I have a bit of trauma . No matter if it’s a high cla.s.s ingredient my hands can’t help but stop when I try to eat . 」
「Oioi, are you really okay?」
「Umu, if I take some time I think I’ll be able to eat…… . however this Sanzu Octopus should originally be around 30 centimeters…I was really surprised . 」
Really?? The originally 30 centimeter octopus turned into a (TN:
a (TN: the author seems confused as to how big the octopus is) 5 meter giant .
「Katarakta leaving had that much of an effect?」
「Hmmm, I don’t know . I wouldn’t know much about this kind of thing . 」
Manaril walked over from a pan covered in octopus mushiyaki .
「If it’s about this lake I can answer . 」
「So you heard?」
「Well yes . I have good ears after all . Anyways, the reason this octopus grew so huge is the large amount of magic power flowing into this lake . That’s why Katarakta leaving had this kind of effect . 」
「Are there any other factors?」
Manaril nodded and looked at the lake .
「This lake is connected to an underground water vein…… . of course Daichi-san’s water vein is flowing a little bit to here as wellhere as well . 」
「Ah… . is that so? Then that’s why the water is filled with magic power . 」
「It’s half a guess though . I think that this delicious huge creature is amazing you know?」
She said and bit into the steamed octopus .
With how easily she bit through it, it must be quite tender .
「n~ delicious . 」
「Certainly I think that such a delicious thing getting bigger is great . 」
「Yes, on that we can agree………ok, we’ve a lot so I’ll eat too!」
Our talk just now seemed to have reduced her traumatic feelings towards the octopus .
Dianeia grabbed several octopus dishes from the grill iron .
We’d caught various things and ended up in some trouble, but everything turned out alright .
And so our dinnertime pa.s.sed in the twinkle of an eye .
