Chapter 381 – The Demon King’s Breakfast
“Takifu, I want to stop the orcs’ scent, so can you get rid of the sled?”
“Roger that.”
In the morning, I took care of Tig’s request and collected all the dead monsters and beasts lying around in the snowfield. It seemed that half of the sled had been eaten by the earth dragons, but the remaining wreckage in the back of the sled was piled high with blood-stained burlap sacks that seemed to contain orc corpses.
So far, there are no signs of monsters or other creatures attracted to the smell. The only large creatures that have been attracted are the two earth dragons.
“Hmm… even though they are earth dragons, they are a bit small…”
“No way, seriously?”
Hearing Myrril’s comment, Louis takes a second look at the earth dragons being dismantled in the snowfield. These guys were the only ones that had been put into storage during the night. They were taken out in the morning to be dismantled, but these are as big as trams.
“Well, they’re small compared to the sea serpent, but…”
Louis is dumbfounded, but the Surz people we asked to dismantle them are not the least bit concerned and are nervously wielding their blades. They seem to be used to dismantling things, and they work well together, dividing up the roles. …But sometimes you can hear them making little cries and praying. Even though the earth dragons are already dead, it’s okay, right?
One of the earth dragons was male, and the other was female. According to Myrril, they had just reached adulthood, so they were more like brother and sister than a pair.
The one who had died in a prone position after charging at us was the younger brother, and the one who had been shot in the head and fallen was the older sister. The female was slightly larger than the male, and because its limbs were relaxed and hanging limply, it looked larger than when it was alive.
“The one I killed in Casemaian before was about eighty feet long. This one is at most twenty-five feet long. Even if you add the two together, the meat is not even half as much as the other one.”
“The thing you’re comparing it to is wrong. There’s no forest or mountain near Lafan where a dragon that big could live.”
That’s true. It would be a problem if a 25-meter class earth dragon was roaming around right under the local government’s nose and along the coast. Fortunately or unfortunately, this time, it was a 7-meter class dragon. It wasn’t tiny at all, but it was a size that could be dealt with somehow.
“That little dragon…”
It’s abbreviated. The members of the Surz looked back anxiously as Myrril spoke to them.
“Once it’s dismantled, you can take the saleable materials as souvenirs.”
“””Huh?”””
They looked at me as if to say, “Is that okay?” but I nodded because there was no particular need. It would be a hassle to bring it to the guild, and even if I did, I wouldn’t know what to do with the money.
“Instead, I want to make a barbecue out of the meat.”
Myrril-san really likes meat. I’d like to eat some if it were an earth dragon. When it comes to cooking slaughtered meat and eating two earth dragons, even if they’re small, it’s a big deal, so I’ll ask Calmon’s family for help…
“Mir-neechan♪”
“Oh, you came to visit.”
The one who came running was Calmon’s daughter, Nora-chan. Behind her came Calmon’s wife, Lufia-san, and Calmon’s mother, Trin-san, along with a mixed team of neighborhood ladies and grandmothers who had come to help out in the kitchen. Calmon had asked Colon to pick them up.
“Thank you for inviting us, Takifu-san and Mir-san.”
“No, thank you for coming. Come this way.”
With the earth dragon meat that had been cut up, everyone was led to the kitchen of the mansion.
“The water is boiling in the pot, and the oven is on. I’ve also put the utensils and spices on the kitchen table, but if you need anything, please let me know.”
“Ara, this is a great kitchen…it’s so shiny!”
“We’ve only used it for tea and sweets…”
Tig leaves the meat with the ladies and returns with us to the front yard.
“As for the Battle Cry. Is there anything you want?”
“No. That’s the right of the person who kills it. You can do whatever you want, but I think the guild needs a report on the appearance and subjugation of the earth dragon. The problem is with the Heiberns.”
“I think so. Can’t we just run away?”
Tig laughs bitterly at the front door.
“Probably not. Look.”
I looked at the horse-drawn sleigh approaching and slumped my shoulders.
