BTOG 167 – Favorite Food
December 24, 2021
“N-No way… is this adult tal Demon Boar? I would never have expected that you would give the ingredients of that creature.”
Said Kurogane as I handed him the whole tal demon boar that I had originally planned to wholesale before I t him.
“I killed one earlier. Is it really that valuable?”
“No, what surprises this ti is simply the size. tal boars pop up every once in a while, but they’re more ferocious than normal boars. They also fight for territory for all day in and day out, so usually, they die young.”
“Oh? that territorial dispute is an interesting story.”
As I listened to Kurogane’s story, A-chan suddenly took an interest in it.
“In the first place, are monsters supposed to fight other monsters? This is the first ti I heard that.”
True, I’ve never seen a monster being hostile to other monsters.
Even with Shiny Fox, Monster House, or today’s test run, when a large number of monsters surrounded , all of them were working together to attack , and their only purpose was to kill .
I thought that just was the way it is, but now that you ntion it, it sure seems strange. Especially after soone ntioned it, it got thinking.
“When there is a conflict, there will be a conflict. But monsters will always put humans as their first target. That’s why, if there are no humans around, monsters will fight with each other. You’ve heard of The famous Nad, right? That’s how monsters transcend the limits of their species and beco one.”
“Oh, so that’s how it works.”
“But not all of them are like that. If you want to know more about it, ask our village chief. I don’t know the details either.”
“I’ll do that later. It’s not sothing I need to know urgently.”
Perhaps because she was only a bit curious, A-chan then cut the subject off without showing any particular interest in the matter.
During all of this, Himiko was the only one who stuck to the table and hurried Kurogane to do his job.
“I’m starving. Hurry up and cook it!”
“I know, I know. Since I’ve received many excellent ingredients, I will treat you to so tal boar at dishes. Is there anything you can’t eat?”
“I can eat anything.”
“Sa here.”
“All right, I’ll make you a steak. Just give a minute!”
Kurogane then walked into the kitchen excitedly. By the way, I’ve never had a boar steak before.
“Oh, by the way, A-chan, I completely forgot. Didn’t you promise that you were going to take to a restaurant that you recomnded?”
“Yes, certainly, I did.”
“I was a promised we made before we parted ways the first ti we t.”
A-chan likes so-called “exotic” food, and one of her favorite things in this ga is to eat such dishes that are hard to find in the real world.
Himiko, who was listening to our conversation, had a look of disgust on her face.
“…Sukuna, are you out of your mind? Arthur’s recomndations are almost always about insects restaurant, right?
“Yeah? I can eat bugs just fine.”
“Ueee…”
I don’t have any dislikes in the first place. I can still take delight in food, even if it has no flavor.
At extre cases, I have no problem with food with no taste as long as it has calories. What is important to is that food can be digested and used as energy.
“You shouldn’t be picky with food, sister. Why don’t you go eat with us next ti?”
“No… I don’t want to eat bugs…….”
“Well, that’s too bad then.”
“I still can’t forget the mory where you fried the cockroach to give it to …”
Himiko’s face turned blue, and her body shivered.
I’m sure it was very traumatic for her.
Yeah, well, insects are so far removed from common food that they are called exotic.
I think Himiko’s and my viewer’s reactions are natural.
But I had to add that common insects such as hachinoko(bee larvae) and locusts are really delicious.
“By the way, does Sukuna have any favorite foods? It seems like you’re only eating a heavy calories food.”
“? I think my favorite is soft ice cream.”
“What the hell are you guys saying?”
I’m not sure what you an by ‘deceiving’ just because I like soft ice cream while I can eat insects?
“Here’s the thing, when I was a child, Rin and I went out for the first ti, and she bought soft-serve ice cream. I don’t know if she rembers that, but it has been my favorite ever since…, and sotis we eat it together when we go out.”
“I see, it’s a morable food. I know what you an, Sukuna. Myself too, still rember the first ti I tasted a beech mushroom….”
“I don’t care about your mory Arthur. Let soak myself in this preciousness…”
{like in playboy aning}
They’ve switched from talking about my favorite food to talking about how sad they are to be single.
Soft ice cream is delicious even if you eat it alone, but then again… I only eat it when I have a date with Rin.
I like the strawberry flavor, and she likes the chocolate flavor.
“Do you have a favorite food, Himiko?”
“I like at!”
“Yeah, at is delicious, isn’t it?
I was relieved to hear Himiko’s simple and typical answer.
“Sorry to keep you waiting!”
While we were chatting, Kurogane, who had finished cooking the at, arrived with the food on a cart. It was covered with a lid, but I could hear it making a nice sizzling sound.
“This is the tal Demon Boar steak! Be careful of the grease splatter!”
When I opened the large lid that was placed on a griddle that was three tis the size of a hamburger plate, you’d normally see in a family restaurant, and I could sll the delicious sll of grilled at.
The tal boar steak on the griddle was an incredibly thick and large steak; it’s over five centiters thick, the weight probably over a kilo.
“Wow!”
“It’s soooo big!”
“Ooooh. ……”
“It was a big tal boar. Naturally I will cut it into big pieces.”
“I wonder if I can finish it….”
Said Himiko as she picked up a knife and fork with a slightly tense expression on her face.
It’s a little late to explain this, but hunger in WLO is caused by your hunger status in the ga.
Even if you eat a lot of food in the real world before logging in, if you are hungry status in the ga is activated, the hunger will not disappear.
However, many items can satisfy your hunger, so as long as you always have portable food with you, it won’t interfere with your activities.
Well, that’s why Himiko said she was hungry earlier. She was in a state of hunger.
As for the amount of food I can eat, theoretically, I can eat as much as I want. Therefore, any place should finish whatever food is presented to them.
However, when your status becos full, at least you won’t feel hungry. And it would be quite a task to eat a lot of food when your hunger is satisfied.
“If there’s too much, I’ll eat it. You can eat as much as you can, Himiko.”
“Sorry, Sukuna, …but that exactly what I’m planning to do.”
“Will your stomach be okay?”
The two of them looked at with both gratitude and bewildernt, and I also ran my knife through the tal demon boar steak.
The at was as soft as tofu, and the juices were bursting out.
As soon as I put it in my mouth and took a bite, it exploded with flavor.
“Hmmmm! This is delicious!”
“…………”
“…..Sister? ……she is dead ……!
Despite the accident of Himiko dying from the overwhelming taste, all three of us ended up eating the huge steak, which we estimated to be about three kilograms each.

A note:

Why am I busier before Christmas? Well… I expect it, but this year is unusually feel so rushed.
But still, I feel like impatient parents waiting for grandchild right now… well… maybe not that extre. Still, she’s my precious family mber, and I hope to do my best for her.
Even prayer is appreciated. Please give so to my cat.
