The Strongest Hunter Who Was Not Allowed To Hunt Monsters Joined a Cooking Guild - Chapter 115

The white of the Chinese cabbage, the brown of the shiitake mushrooms, and the green of the leek …….

 

　Included with the colorful vegetables were the milt and dragon chimera meat from earlier.

 

　I sipped the soup in the pot and it was dyed amber rather than white.

 

　I put some of the juice into the dish I had brought.

 

　It is said that the soup stock from the bones of the dragon chimera was used as the soup stock.

 

　When I brought my face close to the plate, a rich aroma hit my nostrils.

 

　I reached out for the dragon chimera meat.

 

　The meat had played a minor role in the pasta dish earlier, but this time it was cut into thick slices and looked as if it were the star of the show.

 

　The impact of the creamy milt on the pasta was strong, but what about the hot pot?

 

　I firmly clamped the meat between my chopsticks and ate the thick meat of the dragon chimera.

 

“So good!!”

 

　The texture is like chicken or migratory fish meat.　Is it chicken or the halami of a migratory fish?

 

　It is elastic and the meat feels good after being placed on the tongue.

 

　The moment it is crushed, the flavor spreads along with the miso-based soup.

 

　What came tingling on my tongue was the spiciness.

 

　yes. Dragon chimera is a little spicy.

 

“Is this the taste of Garuda meat?”

 

　Olivia, who ate with me, is also seriously staring at the bite-sized meat.

 

“Probably, but this is a characteristic of Garuda’s taste.”

 

　The guild master explained.

 

“It has been confirmed that the Garuda’s meat is a little spicy. It’s a combination of that and the flavor of the black-armored dragon’s meat.”

 

“If you put it that way, so does the texture of this meat.”

 

　The first thing that came up in the conversation was Rafina.

 

　It looked clear and she was probably hungry.

 

　She poked the pot solemnly.

 

“This elasticity … Is it chicken?”

 

“Yeah. If it’s a black armor dragon, it might have been a little pale.”

 

“That means that the deliciousness of this meat is the taste and texture created by the mix of Garuda and the black armor dragon.”

 

　Olivia concludes.

 

But for me, that’s not all.

 

　Miso-based soup also plays a role.

 

　The deep flavor brought about by the bones and entrails of the dragon chimera, which form the basis of the broth, enhanced the taste of the meat.

 

　As proof of this, the vegetables that soaked up the juices were delicious.

 

　The moment I ate the shiitake mushrooms, bit into the Chinese cabbage, or let the shimeji mushrooms roll around on my tongue, all of the flavors that appeared in various places were wonderful.

 

　The tastes that appear here and there are all wonderful.

 

　And the epitome was the dragon chimera’s milt.

 

　The smooth texture of the tongue that smoothly enters the mouth.

 

　The texture you feel when you put pressure on your teeth is more like disappearing than eating.

 

　The strong flavour and saltiness of the miso spread through your mouth like a raging wave.

 

“It’s good……”

 

　I raise my voice.

 

　Ciel also tried dragon chimera milt.

 

　She was surprised at the strange texture, but seemed to like it.

 

　Pamela ate it together with Ciel, but she was enjoying the meat of the dragon chimera.

 

　And speaking of hot pot, it was time to finish the meal.

 

　Pamela chose porridge made with silver rice, the pride of the elven village.

 

　The remaining soup in the pot already contained many flavors.

 

　The basic soup stock, miso, sake, sweetness of vegetables, and flavor of meat.

 

　The silver rice is added to the broth and cooked, soaking up all the flavor.

 

　When the dish became thick, Pamela took out an egg.

 

　The egg was larger than a chicken egg.

 

“What is it?　Pamela, what is that egg?”

 

　Olivia asked, and Pamela stopped her hand.

 

　After staring at the eggs, she spoke.

 

“I found them among the foodstuffs we received from the guild.”

 

“What? I never heard of such an egg.”

 

　The Guild Master tilts his head.

 

“Is that so? I thought it was a dragon chimera egg.”

 

“No. The dragon chimera is a male in the first place.”

 

“No, that’s not always the case.”

 

　I interrupted.

 

“I’ve heard that demon beasts born as chimeras are generally unstable in gender. Dragon chimeras may have ovaries as well as testes.”

 

“I see. It’s a mystery, Zelet-kun. It’s not unusual to have androgynous features in the natural world. It would not be surprising if they were mixed in with the foodstuff.”

 

　The guild master nodded strangely deeply.

 

“Hey, I will [appraise] just in case.”

 

“Then, I’ll take the first bite.”

 

　The guildmaster, who used to serve as a taster at the royal palace, poked the pot.

 

　First of all, Olivia uses the skill 【Appraise】.

 

　Although she does it casually, [Appraisal] is also a rare skill.

 

　It is a skill that allows one to access divine knowledge without the need for authenticity or experience.

 

“No doubt. This is a dragon chimera egg.”

 

　　There was a light cheer.

 

　I had never realized that the dragon chimera, which I thought was a male, was capable of giving birth to a child.

 

“Then I’ll drop the egg.”

 

　Pamela dropped an egg into the bowl.

 

　The yolk is large and dark.

 

　The white color is darker than that of a chicken egg, which is characteristic of the black-armored dragon, a dragon species.

 

　It had a similar color at the time of Leviathan.

 

　Only a chimera, it is really a mixture of many things.

 

　Beat the eggs in a bowl and throw them into the pot.

 

　After three finger-folds of ten seconds according to Ciel’s count, the lid was opened.

 

　White steam rises into the sky, as if a genie had appeared.

 

 

　The dragon chimera porridge is ready.

 

 

　She put on her cute pot-grabbing mittens and brought it to the table where everyone was gathered.

 

　Pamela mumbled to herself at the sight of the melty eggs and miso-based broth.

 

“looks delicious!!”

 

　Everyone immediately put their hands in the soup.

 

　She prepared Ciel’s portion as well. She waited until the soup had cooled down.

 

　However, even I, an adult, will burn my tongue if I don’t eat it carefully.

 

　After waiting for a while, the first bite was entrusted to the Guild Master.

 

　After smelling the mellow scent, the guild master eats a bite.

  

 

　His face did not turn pale, nor did he suddenly stroke out.

 

　On the contrary, his face was euphoric to the point of being a little uncomfortable.

 

　Unable to resist, the guildmaster exclaimed.

 

“Sooo good!!”

 

　The air seemed to tremble.

 

　The Guildmaster’s eyelids fluttered open and he stood there.

 

　He was still breathing. He just seems to be impressed.

 

　I waited for two or four minutes, but there was no change in the Guild Master.

 

　He looks toward the east and remains frozen.

 

　With a reaction like that, the people around me would not shut up.

 

　I, Pamela, Rafina, Olivia, Prim, Rir, and Ciel followed suit.

 

“Oh oh !!”

“Delicious!”

“Huuuuuuuuuu …!”

“It’s delicious!”

“Uma ~~ i !!”

“Wow! !!”

 

　Ten different reactions are shown.

 

　But none objected to the taste.

 

　The rich, tender, not yet even half-boiled egg and the miso-based broth went well together. No, the mixture was even immoral.

 

　The moment I put it in my mouth, I felt a strong richness spreading through my mouth, filling me with happiness.

 

　The sweetness of the egg and the miso-based soup is indeed a perfect match for the porridge.

 

　It’s so good that I hit my knee involuntarily.

 

　The thickening of the porridge and the complex flavors in the broth combined to give my tongue the right amount of stimulation.

 

“delicious!”

 

　Ciel made a loud voice.

 

　Everyone else was shouting, so she must have responded in kind.

 

　But it was the dragon chimera rice porridge that Ciel was so absorbed in.

 

　There was a grain of silver rice porridge on the side of her mouth.

 

　I carefully took it away.

 

“Is it delicious, Ciel?”

 

“Yeah! It was delicious! Daddy, please hunt again.”

 

　That was a tough request.

 

　But it is a request from my beloved daughter. I had to answer her request.

 

“Fufufu …. Ciel’s tongue is getting more and more fat.”

 

　Rafina smiles.

 

“Really. I’m afraid of future food expenses. Zelet, get the next prey soon.”

 

“Don’t say it casually!”

 

“Daddy, I want to eat!”

 

“OK! Daddy will do his best !!”

 

“Cho! Don’t suddenly put out a [gun sword]. Also, wipe your nosebleed.”

 

“Ahahahahahaha !!”

 

　Olivia holds her belly and laughs.

 

　I shoved a hemostatic agent into my nose, but even Rafina started laughing.

 

　A fun hot pot time continues.

 

　The dragon chimera was delicious, but before I knew it, I found myself enjoying the space itself.

 

　It’s strange, though.

 

　When I was in the Hunter’s Guild, we had drinking parties, but we never laughed from the bottom of our hearts. Back then, shooting S-ranked demons was my only solace.

 

“But eating the testes and eggs of the same individual is the best part of chimera cuisine, isn’t it? This is not oyakodon, it’s doux-don.”

 

“Hey!　Hey!　Don’t talk about things that are beneath you in the presence of children!!!”

 

“Then, let’s go to —-.”

 

　The guild master was struck by the women at Harisen, which was taken out somewhere.
