Chapter 727 – Ep.725 Demon Continent
Fortunately, the food wasn’t poisoned or anything, it just didn’t taste good, so the two calmed down after taking a few sips of cold water.
“Sorry.”
[ No. ]
And through Rita, I asked other monks outside to bring me some of the desserts and meat-based foods sold in District 4.
If what I think is correct, I won’t have to suffer from eating in the future.
“Then.”
It will take a while for the food to arrive, so in the meantime, I plan to have a brief conversation with the two people sitting in front of me.
But before that.
“But these two.”
[ Yes. ]
“First of all, it’s an envoy. That means Heavenly Demon. So, wasn’t it chosen by Queen Rita herself?”
[ … Please wait a moment. ]
I don’t think it was a difficult question to answer.
But perhaps there was something different from what I thought, and instead of answering right away, Rita chose to close her eyes.
And in my experience, the time Rita closed her eyes was when she was talking to her third sister.
Fortunately, it didn’t take long for Rita to open her eyes.
[It is true that the Queen herself chose it, but she only chose it from dozens of documents. This… You have never met these children in person. ]
“I see.”
An extremely ordinary answer with nothing strange about it.
It seems like there’s something I’m trying to keep secret.
‘I’m curious, but…’
If I had asked her to answer, Rita would not have even closed her eyes and she would have answered what she had been hiding a moment ago.
‘It’s not that I don’t want to cause trouble, but I think it’s a waste of my life.’
In the case of my wives, I don’t want to embarrass the women who trust and depend on me, so I don’t bother to ask them about their secrets, but in this case, the thought that I might do something terrible if I do something goes through my head, so I have to be careful about what I say. .
“However. Envoy… Therefore. “What was the mission of these two?”
[The idea was to bring the nobleman to the capital. However, with the news that He was accompanying them, the children were told to consider their mission accomplished and to return to their homes. ]
“But you came all the way here.”
[ Yes. Even… ]
“”… !!””
Kuriri and Kuroro, who were sitting across from him and quietly twiddling their fingers, trembled.
[ Excuse. ]
Only after Rita withdrew her gaze did the two sigh softly again and glanced out to see what Rita was doing.
‘I don’t know what on earth I did at the gate to make Rita so angry.’
I thought this was a reasonable amount to ask, but Rita is still looking at the two with a disapproving gaze. I didn’t want the relationship between the three to worsen further by inquiring about what happened at the castle gate.
There was also an option to ask after a little more time had passed, or to teach the two of them to speak and hear their story directly, so I decided to forget about that part for now.
**
“… “It’s just delicious, right?”
As I was doing a quick census of the two through Rita, another dreamer brought a bag filled with desserts and food sold in District 4 and put it down.
And as I just said, the desserts and quite unusual dishes brought from District 4 were much more worth eating than I expected.
Although it cannot be compared to the delicacies tasted in the streets and palaces of Jedo Island, it is of such a decent taste that it can be sold for enough money.
“Hmm~!!”
“Apuuuuu!!”
And Kuriri and Kuroro, who vomited after eating the steak prepared by the monsters, also showed that the food from District 4 was to their liking, so they took their share and put it in their mouths to fill their stomachs.
‘District 4 is hope.’
There is no need to delay any longer.
After giving Kuriri and Kuroro some space to rest, you must head straight back to Area 4 and obtain the recipe.

[ Entry and exit was permitted, but living within the castle was not permitted. ]
While she was preoccupied with satisfying her hunger with the newly adopted puppy, I asked the third sister through Rita to house the two of us, but was turned down a little while ago.
It was somewhat expected.
[Instead, he said that there were many empty rooms in the residential area, so he could use any of them. ]
“Tell them thank you.”
At that moment, Kuriri and Kuroro were eating everything they had packed, so I got up first.
“For now, let those two rest, and also tell them to stay calm because I will come visit them tomorrow.”
[ All right. ]
Rita said something in the language of the Demon Continent to the two who were sitting quietly looking at me, and Kuriri and Kuroro nodded their heads a couple of times.
[Another child will lead the way. ]
“Then let’s go back to District 4. Oh, I’d like you to take some meat from the storage room as well.”
[ Yes. ]
Another monster standing on the wall headed toward the kitchen, and in the blink of an eye, he brought out a piece of fresh, bright red meat and handed it to Rita.
[I will guide you. ]
**
[They say it’s over there. ]
When I returned to District 4 with Rita, I wanted to find a store that sold the food I had eaten at the restaurant earlier, and Rita easily led me to that store through conversation with another dreamer.
Dangling~♪
As we pushed through the door, the first thing that greeted us was the friendly sound of a bell, just like in a dessert shop.
‘It was a restaurant.’
The scene inside the store, with tables and chairs set up like inns that are common on the continent, was a very familiar picture to me.
“… Are you going to eat?”
As I was looking around, a woman with slightly reddish skin, who appeared to be the owner, walked out from inside the counter.
“No. It’s not a meal… I came here because I wanted to ask a few questions. And depending on the answer, we provide sufficient examples.”
All I had was a body, but I was also the only man who could make sacred objects that money could not buy. Well, if you don’t like the holy relic, wouldn’t it be okay to give him the diamond stone you received in Canyon City?
“I have to prepare lunch, so if you have any questions, I would appreciate it if you could ask quickly.”
As expected, I took the meat from Rita’s hand and held it out to her, who was looking at her with a gaze that wished she would leave quickly.
“This is this?!”
“… ?”
I think I had a piece of meat in my hand just a moment ago.
“This bright red color!! Tendons connected like waves!!”
The hostess snatched the piece of meat out of my hand in an instant, and she exaggerated a little. She opened her eyes so wide that I was worried that her eyes would pop out, and pierced her meat. I looked at him lost.
“This heaviness and elasticity. And the foul smell that creeps up!! “It’s definitely Hell Cow meat!!”
Hell Cow.
If you translate it literally, it would be something like hell cow.
“Excuse me…”
“Omg?!”
Is it a hell cow or a hell cow?
Not having the slightest interest in what it was, I called out to the hostess, who was ecstatic as she rubbed her face with the piece of meat in her hand, and then she suddenly came to her senses and looked towards me again.
“I tried cooking with it and it was really… “It was so tasteless that it was difficult to describe the taste.”
“What about meat?! “Have you thrown it away?!”
“No. “First of all, it is important to eat all food unless it is poisoned.”
“Whoa~”
Where on earth did you feel relief? …
“Anyway, can you make it taste like normal?”
“Well…”
Contrary to my expectation of an answer of “Of course possible,” The hostess looked at me with a quite serious expression.
“Because it is such a rare material, this is my first time touching it in real life. So it’s hard to give a definite answer.”
The hostess, who looked at the piece of meat in her hand several times, returned her answer and handed it back to me.
“Perhaps.”
“… ?”
I asked, holding on to half of the meat in her hand.
“If you give me a chance, give it a try──”
“Just order it!!”
In an instant, the mistress, who was holding both her hand and the piece of meat, let out a harsh snort and her eyes lit up.
“First, listen to me from beginning to end. “Let go of this hand.”
“Ah… !! “I’m sorry.”
The mistress let go of my hand and took a further step back than necessary, increasing the distance between her and me.
“I will support you with a few more items besides this. So, don’t feel too pressured and just take on the challenge.”
“Huh…”
The hostess covered her mouth with both hands and began to cry.
It seems that this is a very precious meat.
“Looking at their reaction, I can tell that this is valuable enough meat… “It’s tasteless, so why is it precious?”
“Hell cows are people who live in the lava zone and mainly eat sulfur and magic stones. So, hunting itself is very difficult. However, the reason why their meat is so precious is that just by consuming it, not only does it increase the total amount of magical energy, but it also has the effect of filtering out impure energy mixed with magical energy and helping excretion!!”
The hostess seemed to have been waiting, and she finished her explanation in one go without taking a single breath from beginning to end.
‘It filters out impure energy mixed with magical power…’
Not only that, but it also increases the total amount of magic power, so it was clear that she was the meat that all magicians who thought that power was everything wanted to eat.
Of course, my position is a bit delicate.
“Okay.”
I don’t know if it will work for me, but it was clear that it was good for her body, so I thought it would be good to help her cook well and later help other wives take care of it.
Just as she was about to gather her thoughts and move to hand over the piece of Hell Cow meat back to her mistress with sparkling eyes.
【Employee Seo Min-su.】
‘… ?’
Sis, who had cut off the conversation by saying he was busy, suddenly spoke up.
【From now on, I will tell you a story that will surprise you. So, take care of your facial expression so it doesn’t show off.】
‘… ‘Can I listen to it later when I’m alone?’
【It’s not possible. So please give strength to her face.】
What on earth are you trying to say?
“Take this first.”
“Ah… !!”
I handed over the meat and made a face.
【Adventurers attacked each temple.】
