Chapter 29 : It’s time to show the power of the Great Demon King Purpure (3)

“Chief Gergalo of the Flame Tribe thanks the Great Demon Lord!”

Nana’s father, Gergalo, was an incredibly good person.

He didn’t make any strange misunderstandings, and he even shed tears, hugged Nana, and properly thanked me, a demon.

Not only that, when Maeve and Dominicus arrived late, pulling the carriage, he held a grand celebration party!

“Thank you so much! Great Demon Lord Purpure!”

“Thank you! Great Demon Lord!”

“Thank you for saving Nana!”

“Great Demon Lord! Thank you!”

Nana, hugged in her mother’s arms, also raised both hands high and shouted.

The food prepared for me was also quite satisfactory.

Freshly roasted lamb was prepared like a mountain, and the most delicious-looking parts were selected and placed in a bowl in front of me for my small body.

Next to the lamb, dried fruits and nuts were piled high, and there was also flatbread with a savory aroma.

In a large pot, thick broth made from boiled bones was simmering!

“Wow… These people seem to be genuinely grateful to Purpure?”

“It’s a truly grand feast. Chief Gergalo seems to be especially grateful to the Great Demon Lord.”

Maeve and Dominicus, sitting next to me, were so surprised that they couldn’t even touch the food.

“Purpure did something worthy of this treatment.”

Strictly speaking, the Legnyongs did the hard work!

But I didn’t miss that part either, and I gave them large rocks that they would like as a gift.

“Great Demon Lord. I sincerely thank you.”

Nana’s father, Gergalo, smiled refreshingly and handed me a wooden cup.

Is this yogurt with fruit? I can’t guess what kind of fruit is in it, but it has a quite fragrant and sweet smell, so I like it!

“Well, well, the Hero and the Saint who came with the Great Demon Lord, please have a drink.”

The wooden cups handed to the hero party by Gergalo contained a liquid reminiscent of makgeolli.

It seems to be a type of airag.

A fruit version was served to me, who has the body of a soft child, and ‘alcohol’ was served to Maeve and Dominicus!

“Thank you for holding a feast for Purpure.”

“No, no!! How can we just stand still when the Great Demon Lord saved Nana! Please eat comfortably!”

Gergalo laughed heartily and held out a wooden cup.

When I lightly clinked glasses, the hero party and the tribesmen also raised their glasses and clinked.

“To the Great Demon Lord Purpure!”

“To the hero who saved Nana!”

“To the Great Demon Lord!”

I carefully drank the yogurt while listening to everyone’s praise.

“Awawa…! This is delicious yogurt! The sour smell is masked by the sweet smell of fruit, so I can gulp it down all at once!”

“Hahaha! Thank you! Great Demon Lord! I’m really glad it suits your taste.”

Maeve and Dominicus hesitated a little due to the sour smell.

But there’s no way an adult can resist delicious alcohol!

“Huum~~~! Haa! This is really good? It’s not too strong? The sour smell is even a little attractive.”

“It’s easy to drink, to the point where it would be a big problem if a child drank it by mistake.”

At the praise of the two, Gergalo laughed loudly and pointed to the plate full of meat.

“Please eat comfortably.”

Okay, okay, then I won’t refuse and eat!

I immediately took out the fork from the bundle with magic and stabbed the lamb.

“It’s well-cooked lamb!”

“Thank you for recognizing it.”

Lamb is known as an ingredient that smells bad even in modern times if it’s not handled properly, but they really cooked it smartly?

“Did you boil it with various ingredients? There’s no unpleasant smell, but rather a delicious smell.”

Nana’s mother nodded, slightly surprised.

“That’s right. If we just roast it, there’s a strange smell… So we cooked it with various spices and herbs.”

It’s a subtly reminiscent explanation of boiled pork!

“Yum yum, nom…! Awawa…! It’s incredibly soft, so it feels like it’s melting in Purpure’s mouth! It’s incredibly delicious!”

The texture reminds me of beef rather than pork? Should I say that the feeling of the grain is alive!

On top of that, it was well-boiled, so the meat collapsed softly when chewed, and it was very delicious.

“Oh… This is delicious? I had a slightly bad feeling about lamb!”

“Is there any meat that Maeve dislikes?”

“D, do you think I’m some kind of beast?! Of course, I have meat that I dislike!”

Maeve said and laughed, taking another glass of airag from Gergalo.

“I don’t know if it’s okay to say this… but the lamb I’ve eaten so far had a very strong smell.”

“Haha! It’s okay. It’s natural. Other tribes don’t properly handle lamb, so that’s why.”

“Is Mr. Gergalo different?”

At my question, Gergalo nodded excitedly.

“Our Flame Tribe is a tribe that has learned the wisdom of living with monsters since a long time ago.”

“There’s a way to cleanly process the blood of sheep.”

“Monster! Scary!”

I think I know why Nana said monsters were bad.

For adults, monsters that suck blood are helpful in butchering sheep and a symbiotic relationship, but it would be difficult for a young child to touch them.

It would be terrible if they were cute and walked around and had an accident.

“Are you close with Chomp Chomp?”

“Oh… You’re indeed worthy of being called the Great Demon Lord.”

When Gergalo nodded, the people around him also nodded.

“We don’t know about other monsters, but those guys are incredibly helpful.”

“We give them the offal that’s hard to eat because of the smell, and they cleanly remove the blood from the meat, so it’s really convenient!”

“It’s strange that they don’t like flesh and only eat offal, isn’t it. Hahaha!”

Chomp Chomp was a guy who looked like a round mochi but had sharp saws on his snout.

They were guys who didn’t care about fat or flesh and only ate blood and offal that had a strong smell.

If you gave the right command, they would cut the meat nicely and throw the offal inside into the trash can as if they were eating it.

“Purpure is the Great Demon Lord. There’s no way I wouldn’t know about monsters.”

“And~ You’re incredibly good at cooking! Even now, while looking at this boiled lamb, you’re imagining how to make it more delicious, right?”

Yes.

It reminded me of boiled pork, so I thought of kimchi!

“But Purpure won’t do anything today!”

“Please just enjoy the food and drinks we have prepared! Hahaha! Eat as much as you want!”

Gergalo this time handed me a wide bread reminiscent of tortilla and a white, steaming, clear soup.

I guess I can put the lamb on the bread and eat it with other foods that came with it.

“Awawa…!”

I’d be perfect if I put the sour cabbage I see over there!

It’s not lettuce, but it’s lettuce wraps!

“Nom…! Chew chew!”

“Oh… You know how to eat it without me explaining, so you’re really interested in cooking.”

Gergalo nodded, satisfied.

“Hoo… You’re really a strange Great Demon Lord.”

“You know how to eat lamb properly. Don’t you eat that bread in one bite?”

“Hahaha! Yeah! I thought my insides would burst when the girls who came last time ate it one bite at a time!”

Honestly, even I get angry when foreigners eat lettuce wraps one or two bites at a time!

After gulping down the bread and meat, I picked up the wooden bowl with both hands.

This one also had a strange smell because it contained various meats, bones, and offal that Chomp Chomp didn’t eat and left behind.

But I, a Korean at heart, can’t resist this soup!

• Slurp!

“Wow… P, Purpure! Is that okay?”

“It smells pretty strong, but…”

The thick meat broth that entered my mouth was as thick as the smell.

The depth of the flavor that it contained was tremendous because all the parts that could be used to make broth were put in.

The fact that the smell was a little strong was a cute flaw, and it was an incredibly delicious meat broth.

And even this delicious broth is properly contained in the meat! It feels a bit like beef and radish soup, which is good!

“Awawa… Purpure can eat a lot comfortably after a long time.”

When I stroked my belly with my left hand, the eyes of the adults watching me changed.

“Hehehe, it’s so nice to see our Great Demon Lord eating so well.”

“It’s our pleasure to serve someone from outside who knows the taste so well!”

“Thank you! Great Demon Lord! Here! Here! Please try our favorite food too!”

Did I eat too deliciously?!

I’m sure I emptied the bowl diligently, but the people who came from all directions filled my bowl again with the food they handed me.

“I, I can’t eat this much!!!”

It’s too much!

I was so sorry to leave it, so I grabbed the wooden bowl containing yogurt and shouted.

“Hoo… You had that reason. You were on a pilgrimage…”

After the pleasant party was over, Gergalo guided us to his tent.

It must be a great honor to be able to face the chief like this.

“Thank you again for saving our Nana on such a precious pilgrimage.”

“Thank you!”

Nana bowed her belly cutely with Gergalo and then hugged her mother again.

“Purpure did what was natural.”

“I’m a hero, and Purpure is the Great Demon Lord! Of course, we just helped.”

Gergalo nodded with a warm smile.

“Since the situation is like this, I think we should repay you for saving the country.”

“Ah, no! We didn’t help you because we wanted a reward like this.”

“You never know how connections in the Great Plains will continue. If we send the people who helped our lovely daughter off full and empty-handed, our Flame Tribe’s face will be embarrassed.”

I looked at Maeve and nodded.

We’re being too forward, but they offered.

“I’ll accept it gratefully. But I don’t need shiny money or gold.”

“Haha, thank you. We’ll share the food you need for your journey.”

Okay! It’s just dangerous to carry shiny gold and treasures!

“Ter! Are you outside! Prepare a tent for the guests to stay in today. Also, we need to catch another sheep.”

The moment Gergalo shouted, a man appeared outside the tent, looking troubled.

“Chief, wait a moment…”

He quickly approached Gergalo and whispered something.

“Oh… Damn it. They did that again?”

“Chief… It seems they’re looking down on us too much.”

“Hmm… I understand. First, prepare for the guests.”

The man called Ter quickly walked out of the tent.

“What’s wrong?”

“Haha, it’s nothing. It seems there was a little trouble.”

Gergalo said as if to refuse, then looked at me momentarily.

His lips twitched, and he blatantly looked at my expression.

“Did a monster do something bad?”

“How did you…”

“I’m the Great Demon Lord. Mr. Gergalo told me earlier that the Flame Tribe lives in symbiosis with monsters.”

If you understand the situation, honestly, I would think about it too.

A monster expert who appeared riding Legnyongs, the terrifying Great Demon Lord, appeared, so how could you resist?

Honestly, I guess you want to ask for help, but you can’t.

“If a monster is doing something bad, Purpure will punish it.”

I could already see the future of receiving a lot of cheese, yogurt, and well-dried lamb that I ate at the feast earlier.

I can even shamelessly ask for enough to fill the carriage , right !
