57 Episode 52 Ingredients That Look Bad Are Delicious, But They Also Look Good. Especially Color.
"What kind of monster do you want to kill? I'm a little excited, I'm sorry."
Chloe had little hunting for edible beasts, as the guilds of Drachnil were only receiving requests for money. In the dining room beside the guild, you can eat demon-beast ingredients as long as you get the money, but it is considerably more expensive than bringing in ingredients. In order to pay off her debts, she was only asking for "cheap and many flavors" in the cafeteria. From there I said, "Can you eat cheap and delicious rice? ] Did not eat one or two proposals.
--- I'm ready to go with me.
At the door of the cafeteria, sparse but not a few adventurers were having breakfast compared to lunch. We sat down in a vacant seat and handed the female employee who had just arrived the voucher for the Demon Beast Foodstuff that I had received yesterday. The moment I received it, I didn't miss the employee's face twitching. Immediately after returning to the original sales smile, Chloe seemed to have noticed the slight change and felt uneasy about his expression.
"......... Mr. Kanna, what kind of monsters do you really come up with today? I'm sorry, my heart is pounding a little."
It would be the exact opposite of the first excitement. Don't worry, I'm a little excited about the same vector. Yeah, I'm sure it's delicious, but it doesn't look good.
"Cho, Kanna! What are those eyes you see so far away? I'm sorry!
Finally, when Chloe's anxiety began to grow, his employees carried food.
The menu is a typical breakfast menu. Salad and soup on bread. The bread is freshly squirted from a nearby bakery, and the salad is fresh from the farm.
And the dish using this demonic ingredient is soup.
………… The vivid "purple" soup had a smell of appetizing that couldn't be imagined.
"Mum, purple! I have experience with green and red soups, but there is no purple! I'm like a mysterious liquid used by witches in mysterious ceremonies! What kind of soup is this? "It sounds like Danshak grasshopper soup."
In a word, it is a huge grasshopper-type beast. He is about 1 meter long. Except for its size, it is the ecology of the grasshopper itself, and it is a pest that often appears in the fields and eats and scatters crops. By the way, this purple color is the color of bodily fluid of Danshak grasshopper.
Or, I was surprised when I looked it up in the Demon Beast Book. I checked with Sinadi to say that it was edible. Anyway, the blood and meat of Danshak grasshoppers are rich in nutrients necessary for humans, and they are stomach-friendly and easy to digest, so they are ideal for sick food.
"Is this poisonous color soup going out?" "This poisonous color soup."
The explanation has been confirmed by cafeteria employees. However, adventurers rarely reach for food at the time of "insects". Even though I knew there were insect-based dishes in the real world, I never ate them. However, I was fascinated by the magic of the monster ingredients, and I couldn't resist the story that "looks good" was "delicious."
"I'll get you."
Before cooking, bow your hands together. The appreciation of the creatures used as ingredients is the meaning of this appreciation, but this time most of the prayers were to pray for yourself to eat this Kiwamono dish. No matter how much you say it's a nutritious dish, you can't believe it in front of this purple color.
"I'll be relieved, I'll pick up my bones." "Don't say things that make you uneasy.
I decided to swallow a spoonful of purple liquid halfway through. The taste is really ...
"What is miso ?!"
The soup, like the experimental material used by the witch in the ceremony, was familiar in the real world, but tasted like a delicious miso soup that far surpassed it. Moderate saltiness and a unique flavor wrap around the tongue and permeate the stomach through the throat.
Indeed, there is no such "effective" dish for a tired or weakened stomach. It is too unexpected from the appearance.
"What?
Chloe opened her eyes to my voice and kissed her purple soup. Chloe muttered with a subtle expression as he tasted it with his tongue and drank it slowly.
"... I guess it's a scam. In this way, it tastes the same as a high-grade miso.
It looks too bad to be impressed with. Even though it is a soup that incorporates inexperienced umami in the real world, it looks too bad. Looks too bad to say twice. Oh, the third time.
The name of Danshakbatta comes from the class of the aristocracy, and above this is "Hakushakbatta". This giant grasshopper, which is 2 meters long, is also a high quality ingredient. However, the hunting difficulty of Hakushakubatta jumps at a stretch to C rank, as compared to Erank. Above there are Koshaku grasshoppers and Daikoshaku grasshoppers, which are recognized as super dangerous species by guilds and are at the level where B and A rank adventurers form a team and go to defeat. If you imagine the size of Dansaku grasshopper and Hakusaku grasshopper, it is scary to imagine Kosaku grasshopper.
Or, it looks definitely too bad (4th time), but definitely delicious. Hunt again if you miss a miso. He told Chloe that he had to make the ultimate choice, and he was hesitant to ask him to squeeze out, saying, "I'd like to keep it with my companion." Hinemosul is a kind of home cooking, but once you go abroad, there is no place to treat it as food. It seems that he couldn't beat the charm of nostalgic miso tasted after a long absence.
After encountering the purple miso soup, we left the cafeteria and headed for the guild. It seems that his words were not Date, and his body was getting warmer to every corner of his body, centering on his stomach. In other words, it is in great shape. Once the appearance has been overcome, the soup is likely to be in great demand.
Chloe and I were far apart, so I tried to go to each place as usual, but I was heard earlier. It's Synadie. It's unusual to be able to speak outside, not at the reception.
"Mr. Kanna. I'm calling Reedial. If you don't have any urgent business, head to the office now." "Grandmother?" "Mr. Kanna, what's next? "Don't say someone like a trouble maker! At least the last case was because of you!"
I cried in the eyes of Chloe who saw a troubled child. Chloe laughs, "I'm joking." This wolf is getting more and more relaxed.
"Ah, no. It doesn't mean that Kanna has caused any problems." "Oh, that one."
I was relieved that I didn't seem to know it without knowing it.
"Is it okay to go with me?" "It's okay if you like Kanna."
That's why Chloe and I visited the old lady's office under the guidance of Mr. Cindy.
When I got through the room, Chloe and I sat down on the sofa in the center of the room. The old woman sat face-to-face, as usual, without blaming her.
"Do you want to be promoted to rank D?"
The old woman started the story.
It was Chloe that surprised me before me.
"Isn't it more than a month since you've been an adventurer? And don't doubt Kanna's ability, but I think it's a bit too urgent." It's probably too early to look at the time since, but you'll be convinced by seeing this kid's E-rank request. "
She gave Chloe the documents she had. Upon receiving the paperwork, Chloe looked over what was written and once again opened her eyes with surprise. When I looked over from the side, what was written, my name was written in the upper right, and in the bulleted column I hunted and defeated as a request for a while The name of the monster was written. Apparently, it looks like a list of achievements since I became an adventurer.
"The number of requests has been more than ten, and the results are mostly the best. I'm worried that hunting targets are only edible monsters." "Mr. Kanna, how devious it is. Good luck?
Hey, stop the stunned faces together. Chloe would have entrusted her to the bitterness. Where did the miso soup go?
"I don't care if the kid is a glutton now. It's not unusual for someone to have a similar track record in the past and be promoted early. It's a minimum adventurer and prepared. I can judge it. "
Apparently, working with good hunting for the ingredients was the result of the highest evaluation. I don't mean to be a glutton.
"I knew Real that I wasn't just a person at the time. I don't have any favors in that. It's a fair decision I've discussed with other officials." E-rank adventurers will not be able to get such a best decision because it's difficult.
Chloe returned the documents and said,
"So, how about the little boy. Because I'm doing my best, I'm exempt from the promotion test. If you can do it, I'll be promoted to rank D at this point." Are sometimes exempted for performance reasons, but after that they will be tested without exception from promotion to C. "
From the rank-up test to the C rank, tests to evaluate adventurers from various aspects besides ability are performed.
Most of the lower-ranked clients are ordinary citizens and small shop owners. But as you move up the ranks, more aristocrats and larger merchants increase. In particular, the rank B sometimes receives requests from the nation. Naturally, there will be more opportunities to negotiate directly with them. For that time, some education is needed.
For now, I'm not interested in the higher ranks. He doesn't want wealth or fame, but he's attracted to hunting edible monsters that can be enjoyed at the higher ranks. Because almost all the monsters that can be eaten in the E rank that live near Draknir have been covered.
The answer was natural.
"Please promote to rank D, please." "Well. Then leave your guild card at Synady. Have the card go through the promotion process."
I took two guild cards out of my bosom and handed them to Synadie. She took it reverently and left the office.
"Well, that's it for the kid. That's it. There's a black wolf and I'm supposed to finish this." "Wh?
Unexpectedly, Chloe tilted her head.
"Sure, you came to this guild and reissued the card." "I'm sorry." "I thought it was bad, but I took a closer look here. Apparently, I could take the B rank promotion test before. It seems that he had accumulated achievements just before. "" In the end, all the achievements were wasted due to penalties that did not receive a request for a long time ... but ...
Chloe dropped her shoulder. It seems that the achievement required for promotion to rank B is considerably more severe than the achievement required for promotion from D to C. The rank B is called a skilled adventurer, a longing for the guilds, and a height to aim for. You need to have a good track record.
In addition, the rank above A rank is already a rank where intellectuals who transcend humans are working hard, so there are few people who really aim for it. B rank is a realistic rank, good or bad.
"That's good news. We're going to start recruiting dozens of" Raids "to adventurers above the C rank today."
A raid is a type of request issued by the guild, and is a collective request made by asking multiple adventurers instead of individuals. It mainly occurs when a large number of monsters are destroyed at once or, on the other hand, individuals defeat evil monsters that are too much for their hands. The urgency is often higher than other requests, and the achievements and rewards as requests are high.
"It seems that a large goblin nest was found in a mountain area a little away from Draknir. There is no town or village nearby, but unfortunately there is a magic train line nearby." "I'm sorry to hear that the Barrier Magic was installed." "Unfortunately, it's hard to work on intelligent beasts, and because goblins are so clever, they're loaded on trains. "Sometimes, the magic train is damaged," he says. "But, do you have dozens of goblins?" If you have five or six adventurers with arms, you can destroy them?
It doesn't matter directly to me who becomes a D rank if a raid request to C rank. However, she asked a surprise question to her.
"Did you say? Even a large nest. As you usually say, this time it was confirmed that the" top individual "was badly bad."
In a previous raid in a ravine, the goblin was taught that it was difficult to grow into a certain mass. At that time, there was something artificial, not natural, and it was a very exceptional case.
However, she says that this is a natural and extremely unusual case. That is the existence of high-ranking individuals.
Alternatively, it can be called a mutant, which suddenly emerges from a demonic population and has much greater power than other conspecifics. This high-ranking individual is like a king to the same race, and only when it appears, will the unity of intention be made under one powerful apex. Large groups can be formed, which is impossible when the existence of the settlements is in disorder.
"Goblins are defeated in E ranks, but they are likely to have the rank B abilities in the top ranks. And the number of goblins led by them is at least five hundred. I think it will arrive. "
Army level numbers for small territories. When it comes to such individuals, they certainly stand out among the goblins. Indeed, it's a reasonable number to challenge in a large group called raids.
"Despite the goblin, it's too heavy to have this number challenged by a few C-rankers. That's why it's a raid. And the magic train runs on a state-owned train. I'm going to get a squad out and work with the guild, or rather, it's a request from the state. "
In addition to the ostensible reason to enhance the strength of the military and the thoroughness, there was also the underlying reason that the nation would not be able to stand alone if adventurers were left to defend state-owned facilities.
"Let's return. This raid request is unconditional above rank B, but we will only allow orders to those who have a certain track record at rank C. According to records, the black wolf is in this condition Is not met, but I can recommend orders by my recommendation. Would you like to participate in this if you would like? "
"Is it okay?" "I was able to see your movements during the last duel turmoil, but I judged that my skills would be sufficient for a sufficiently high rank. If you do, you'll be able to reinstate your penalty, but you'll need to make sure you pass the exam to get to the B rank and then pass the exam itself. "
Chloe wondered the answer, given the opportunity that came down, but suddenly.
"I don't think it's a bad story. It's not like you can defeat the higher-ranking individuals. Those who are going to be in charge of adventurers above B rank. What I'm asking for is that exodus "" Yeah ...
Chloe, still confused, turned around asking for help, but I shrugged and shed it.
"What do you ask me, isn't the judgment around you the necessary conditions to become an adventurer on top?" "Kakaka. The mouth may already be a full-fledged adventurer." The kid said, "I will never praise it."
I stared at my half-eyed woman, who smiled happily. I know that there is no malice, but when I laugh, it really gets frustrating.
Hearing her laugh, Chloe took a small deep breath and answered clearly.
"I will accept that request,"
The grandmother smiled intimidatingly at the serious Chloe gaze.
