Tandoori & Friendly [Part 4]
“Baron Skyte, it is likely that the roc that the watchman saw was the one that was shot down by Dr. Arban Stuart with his arrow, retrieved by George Stuart and William Stuart, and cooked by lsa Stuart and Emma Stuart. The at His Majesty holds in his hand is a roc that has been cooked.”
“Huh? The roc was shot down by an arrow?”
“That’s right.”
The prince explained to the lord in an easy-to-understand manner.
“Retrieved… and… cooked…?”
“Yes.”
The prince nodded patiently to the lord, who hadn’t processed his words.
Everybody in the campsite also nodded along with the prince. The feeling of “we have sohow accepted that fact, but it is still weird, right?” was also included in those nods.
“N-NO WAY THAT IT’S TRUEEE!”
The lord made the sharpest retort he had ever said in his whole life.
‘Yup, that’s the right response,’ the Monster Science and Practical Skill for Hunters’ teachers both nodded deeply.
“Well, we used to have difficulty dealing with rocs too. But by using Viole— …a special thread for the bowstring, the arrow’s flying distance has remarkably improved, you see? Ah, how about—…”
“Ah, if you contact the Rothschild Company, they will arrange it so you can buy it at a reasonable price!”
William intervened before Leonard could say, “How about I give it to your territory for free next ti?” If he entrusted this kind of matter to his father and let him be, he could see they would end up covering all the Skyte hunters’ expenses.
“Eh? Using thread? You can kill rocs… with just thread? Eh?”
“Now, now. Our long-awaited al is getting cold, so let’s eat, shall we? We still have lo~tss of roc at, so everyone from Skyte, please have so too before you leave, okay?”
Emma caused a stir in this already confusing scene.
Well, letting the delicious roc go cold when they had cut it up and soaked it in hot water within 120 seconds painstakingly would be such a waste.
“You eat… roc?”
“Fufufu, it’s really delicious, you know? Here, open your mouth. Aahhh.”
“Huh? *open mouth* Aahhh…! *munch* …!!”
Emma put the roc at into the mouth of the Lord of Skyte, who was currently not in a normal state of mind.
“ “ “ “!!!!!!!!!?” ” ” ”
The surroundings were shocked by Emma’s eccentric behavior. The prince, especially, was so jealous that he was stunned silly.
“! D-Delicious…”
“ “ “ “!!!!!!!!!?” ” ” ”
Everyone was all the more surprised by the lord’s reaction because no one had any expectations for the taste of the noble ladies’ hellish cooking.
“Is it good?!”
The king asked the lord with a serious face. In the end, he was freed from the food taster role.
“Y-Yes. It tastes similar to chicken but more tender and juicy. This is my first ti eating an intense flavor like this, but it slowly becos addictive…”
Even while savoring the taste of the roc at in his mouth, the lord couldn’t take his eyes off the girl before him.
“Ah! Seriously, again?! This pattern again?!”
George realized sothing quickly and held his head in exasperation.
“Ah! That Lord of Skyte… He is the one-ard-hunter-who-speaks-with-actions- not-words type of cool old man! …Nee-sama has had her eye on him even in that tense situation!”
William was trembling while thinking, ‘There’s no way my panther older sister will leave this burly middle-aged man who has lead Skyte for many years alone…
Her old n sensor… what crazy performance it has!’
“Everything’s alright now, you know? This place is safe. I believe we will feel relaxed if our stomach is full. After we eat, I will show you the weapons for hunting monsters we use in Palace. We brought so of them with us this ti. Let’s help each other as fellow borderland people.”
Emma gently wiped the sweat of the one-ard, withdrawn type cool old man with her (Emma silk) handkerchief.
Whether it was a disheartened cool old man, a cool old man who was eating, a cool old man who was relaxing, or a cool old man who liked to talk about work, they were all Emma’s favorites.
Moreover, her family had more opportunities to sell weapons to borderlands. Emma hadn’t realized it until now, but wasn’t that quite a promising money-making sche? Violet’s thread and the cats’ nails and whiskers that occasionally fell off were in considerable demand as materials for monster-hunting weapons. Because the Stuarts had always been in Joshua’s care, Emma thought of giving him a proposal for opening up a new market this ti.
In the face of this cool old man money-making idea combo, Emma unconsciously directed a radiant smile at the lord.
“! …an…gel? Huh! Could she be…? the real Holy Maiden?!”
No matter what kind of situation Emma was in, her Old Man Hoi Hoi would always function normally.
