Tondemo Skill - 274 - Holding the Dungeon Clearing Celebration aka Snake at Festival
“This… is really good!”
“The outside bit is crispy but the inside is very plump and juicy,”
“Ahh, as expected, cold ale is the best. It’s great with this fried at thing!”
mbers of the [Ark] and [Shadow Warriors] have gathered here for the victory party (aka Snake at Festival). It was being held in the private garden that we could only access via my window. Nobody thought this was strange though. Also, since there were so many people, I even managed to borrow a table from the dining hall and moved it here.
I had also set out the BBQ stove that I had custom made for the last ti I was in Doran. It will take so ti for the barbecued at to cook, so my guests are currently snacking on Karaage.
Since there were lots of people who looked like they would enjoy alcohol, I had also set out a few crates of glass bottled beers. [1] Although I must say, from the way Siegwald-san the Dwarf was chugging away at my stash, it won’t be long before everything’s gone…
Speaking of which, Fer, Dora and Sui were currently chomping away at their own pile of Karaage on the side.
“Chomp, chomp, crunch. So this thing is called Karaage, hm, hm, made from Black and Red Serpents and fried in oil,” Elland-san explained with a self-satisfied face.
I have no idea why he looked so smug about it since I was the one who made everything…
“B-Black Serpent and Red Serpent you say? That’s so top-notch at…”
“Mukouda-san, are you really fine letting us eat this?”
mbers from the [Ark] and [Shadow Warriors], who were less shaless than Elland-san, looked worriedly at .
“It’s fine, it’s fine. We collected these from the dungeon and are not planning to sell them anyway. Look, we have so big eaters here…” [3] I waved a hand at Fer & Co. who were currently throwing fried at into their mouths.
“In short, please don’t hold back and eat as much as you like,” I smiled.
“I see, I see, if that’s the case. We shall eat gladly.”
“Yes, yes, thank you very much!”
The anxious look disappeared from their faces and they began to help themselves to the food again. [1] Really, I felt very touched by their concern, especially since they were nice enough to bring so gifts for .
[Ark] got so honey from a type of orange flowers that could only be found in Opatrny, a country in the southern part of the continent. The [Shadow Warriors] got so special natural rock salt from Mount El Morai. [1] While still aning to make money selling salt, pepper and sugar in this world, I had made a note of the prices of both salt and honey in this world and both were pretty expensive.
These were luxury items that only nobles would consu on a regular basis.
[8] Since both were food-related items. [1] I guess the image of =food is pretty strong with my guests and they ended up giving so expensive luxury food items.
Not that I'm complaining though. I’m actually pretty happy with the gifts. Let’s find a ti to use these luxury seasonings later.
Speaking of which, [5] Feodora-san has been pretty silent through the exchange. [8] [1] Ah, there she is, right beside Elland-san, shovelling fried food into her mouth. The two beautiful and elegant looking elves were frantically stuffing their faces with fried snakes as though they were in a food eating competition.
Maa, I think I’m beginning to develop an immunity against this weird sight.
Well, since I do need Elland-san to take the Red Dragon apart for , I guess I could count this as a paynt for him? Moreover, he's an experienced Adventurer and I do learn a lot while travelling with him. So, I guess it’s alright to continue feeding him? [5] Yes, since he refuses to take my money or items, let’s just continue feeding him.

Oh, the barbecue looks ready.
“Everyone, the grilled ats are ready, co and get it~”
The barbecue stand and I were imdiately surrounded…
““Oi, gim so,””
““And !””
““Sui too!””
…by my familiars.
“Custors cos first! Everyone, please wait your turn,” [3] I shooed my familiars off and smiled at my ‘custors’. [8] “Alright everyone, today’s the is Snake at Festival. So this skewer has Black Anaconda and Crimson Cobra. This one here is…”
As I continued to explain, everyone’s eyes grew wider and wider. Eh? What’s going on?
[4] “S-such rare delicacy…”
[4] “Especially this Crimson Cobra. Even nobles would consider themselves lucky to eat it once in their lifeti.”
[4] “Yes, yes,” soone nodded vigorously. “Everyone’s still talking about that royal palace banquet five years in… I can’t even rember the country’s na, but they served Crimson Cobra…”
The [Ark] party was obviously overwheld.

“Ahaha,” I guess I’m glad I didn’t just throw these ats away?
“So this is Black Anaconda…”
“Oh, oh, I tasted Crimson Cobra…”
“To be able to eat this great delicacy…”
“If we hadn’t t Mukouda-san, we would probably never set eyes on Crimson Cobra at…”
[5] [6] The [Shadow Warriors] were similarly overco by emotion as they ate their barbecued snakes carefully.
Maa, well, I’ve already seen how my familiars just stuff their faces into bowls and gorge themselves, so I never thought about the value of these ingredients.
[4] “It’s fine, it’s fine,” I said as I loaded more food onto their plates. “Food is ant to be eaten, please eat as much as you like.” [5]
Chorus of ‘delicious!’, ‘it’s delicious!’ soon followed. Ah, it’s nice to see my food being appreciated by a different group of people.
“There’s still more, so eat up!” I said as I plated up the rest of the skewers and placed them on the large table beside a selection of sauces. After placing the second set of skewers on the barbecue net as well as so sausages, I grabbed a pair of tongs and removed so grilled at from skewers onto separate plates for Fer, Sui and Dora-chan.
I also loaded up more fried snake at besides the grilled ats before serving them to my familiars.
“Alright you guys, eat these for now. Let know if you want more, alright?”
[6] The trio was already chomping into their mountain of ats. Still, I received so telepathic replies of ‘Yes~’, ‘Delicious~’, ‘at!’ from them.
While my familiars are busy eating, I rejoined the others and helped myself to so barbecue and beer too.
[Gumihou: Ah… a at, at, at festival indeed]
