episode_0089

No matter how ferocious a monster may be, it is an intelligent creature.

I know you will be angry when your compatriot dies.

Just like an animal that knows how to be sad when its baby is sick.

Therefore, in order to solve this situation, I just need to show my own strength with more threatening magical power.

Obviously, there will be no monsters running for their lives under the threat of predators.

Fzzz, that is..

I can feel the magical energy clearly flowing through my arms and flowing through my whole body.

When {Berserk} was cast, the right eye also changed color to black, allowing more violent magical power to be released.

An opaque wave of magical energy without any properties spread rapidly around me.

Kuiiii..

just as expected. Sensing the magic power of a predator full of life, the [Tagfog] group seemed to have lost all strength in their legs for a moment, unable to overcome the enormous speed at which they rushed, and rolled around without looking back, disappearing into the forest.

‘What is this creepy magical power?’

＇It’s the first time I’ve ever felt magical power..＇

Qatar and the female knights were also feeling the magical energy that Dahuin momentarily released with their whole bodies.

‘W-was it the magical power of a monster?’

‘is not it.?’

There was something fundamentally different about it that made it feel like a monster.

I couldn’t bear to ask. Qatar, embarrassed by his strength, needed to handle the situation more calmly.

“It’s getting dark… Shall we camp here today?”

I wonder when Dahyin’s right eye, which had been discolored due to {photobombing}, came back, as if this situation was nothing special, he hums and drags along the [Tagpog] he had just caught.

“Do you all like meat dishes?”

dump!!

It is a fact that Qatar himself is most clearly aware of that considerable skill is needed to deal with such medium-sized monsters.

Qatar can also hunt [Tagfog] alone and deal with it without difficulty, but this is only possible with a small group.

Moreover, even considering the geography of the forest where movement was limited, the flight order that Kathar had given just a moment ago was very wise as the leader of this group. So much so that there is no unnecessary material.

However, the strength that Dahuin showed now was strong enough to overcome all those situations and remain.

Although it was only for a moment, I could definitely feel the vast magical power of the monster.

He instinctively sensed that he was strong enough to be incomparable to Kathar himself.

Of course, everyone here must have felt it.

As the female knights looked at Da-hein’s blood-covered appearance, they simply nodded in response to his question.

“thank god.”

＂[Tagpog] Because you like meat.＂

The gaze of the female knights with meaningful eyes is unusual.

‘Was it a bit too much?’

To be honest, everyone knew that I was a man who could manipulate magic. That’s why I didn’t feel the need to hide my power.

But contrary to my expectations…

I also felt the need to be a little cautious because people were quite surprised by the mere fact that a man was using magical power.

‘I also used a knife in my own way…’

Even when I was in {Dirlin Village} or {Wolf Beast Tribe}, everyone treated me without prejudice, so it was easy for me to become indifferent to it.

＂Then, I will ask you to prepare for camping!＂

As I always do, I will live by the standards of men in my past life, not by the standards of men in this world.

“Do you mean to say that you will slaughter it yourself?”

I smile and nod.

Do I really need to adjust?

My life in my past life was like running along an endless crossroads according to the rules that someone had made.

But it’s different now.

I can set my own rules and chart my own path. I feel like I have become that much stronger.

Even if people look at me like I’m a strange person, I can confidently say that it doesn’t matter because I am positive about myself.

Because I am that kind of person.

Grumble..

“Are you all hungry?”

“Please wait a minute.”

Tung!!

[Tagpog], whose head had been neatly cut off, was dragged in and its two hind legs tied with a rope.

＇You need to remove the blood in advance so there is no odor and the quality of the meat changes, so let’s do it in advance.’

Then, with both {armed} hands, he hooks it onto the huge tree branch right in front of him and lifts it up and secures it in place.

Rumbling..

Black blood and internal organs pouring out when the stomach is cut open.

“Master, I guess we’ll take care of the maintenance..”

Perhaps because they were worried about me trying to groom [Tagpog] alone, they approached me and said they would help each other.

But since I know what I have to do, I firmly refuse and smile and say that I hope everyone will carry out their duties.

“Ah.. I understand. “You’re a master.”

The female knights who were rejected so bluntly were reluctant but were faithfully carrying out their duties.

‘Shall we begin?’

＇[Tagpog] I never get tired of eating meat..＇

Creep.. Crunch..!! Sakduk!!

Dahein carelessly cleans the bones and flesh of [Tagpog], which is over 3m thick.

The female knights who glanced at the figure from afar could not help but be taken aback.

＂Oh, no.. Are you really a master?＂

“How can a man do such a shameful thing so casually?”

“I don’t know either..”

＂But take a closer look at the skillful handling.＂

＂It was completely separated without causing any damage to the leather.＂

“You know how to dismantle a skeleton..”

“It’s definitely not something you’ve done once or twice..”

I could feel the female knights’ surprised looks and sounds, but I continued with [Tagfog] carelessly.

This moment is more important to me now.

***

I was so excited that I cleaned various parts of meat.

Forgetting that there was blood all over his body, he returned to the well-packed campsite with his hands full of meat.

“I’m done cleaning it. Where should I put it?”

Deep in the forest on a dark evening, with the lingering glow of a bonfire shining brightly.

“Aaaa!!”

The sight of Da-hein holding up the raw meat, drenched in red blood… resembled a criminal who might appear in a scene from a horror movie.

“Sorry..”

This female knight bows her head…

‘Ah.. I forgot.’

When I saw their surprised expressions, I guessed what was the reason.

“wait a minute.”

I stepped back for a moment and separated the “nothingness” attribute {defense shield} covering my entire body from my body, and immediately removed any dust or blood stains from its surface.

“Isn’t that a {defense shield}?”

＂How can I build a {defense} at such a young age?＂

＂No, in the first place… I couldn’t even sense the master’s magic power…＂

“Even when I got close, there was no sign of any “attribute”.”

The female knights seemed unaccustomed to a series of surprises.

Thump…thud!!

＂I’m just going to grill it on an iron plate, everything is okay, right?＂

In the past, when I worked under Master Belzab, I was always in charge of her dinner, so I was more confident than anyone else about the [Tagpog] rice bowl.

But of course, we didn’t have enough time to bring rice and eggs, so we decided to cook them simply.

“hmm..”

＇Is salt the only thing in the water?＇

[Tagpog] You can get enough oil from the meat itself because the fat layer is thick.

Of course, since the flavor was excellent, it was clear that the salt alone would be enough to make it shine.

So, I melted the fat I had set aside on a well-heated iron plate and used it! After wiping it off, cut the meat from which some of the blood has drained into large pieces and gently place them on top.

Cheeek!!

The dazzling red flames rising between the large bonfires hit the oil!! It explodes in all directions.

And all the female knights gradually began to fall in love with the sight of Da-hin freely handling the huge fire as if it was nothing.

A quiet night with blue moonlight.

The sound of sizzling food spread throughout the forest.

The smell was so delicious that it stimulated their hungry stomachs so much that their mouths watered.

‘I take pride in eating fresh meat only lightly cooked, but…’

There is nothing more luxurious than eating raw meat on a long distance trip.

Of course, due to hygiene reasons, the original rule is that meat should always be cooked thoroughly and eaten dry. There is a what if in every situation.

＇Because it was fried properly, it would have been moist and cooked through.＇

‘And here, take a look at the wine that the female knight has secretly hidden here! If you spray it…’

Dahein’s dazzling handwork as he freely uses the burning hot flames in a variety of ways…

As alcohol and oil were added to the frying pan, a blue pillar of fire rose from the blazing iron plate in the dark night sky.

Convinced that any remaining meat odor would have completely disappeared during this process, I cut up a large piece of meat and placed it in each person’s wooden bowl.

“Now, try it.”

“I don’t know if it will suit your taste..”

I try to wipe away the sweat that has formed on my forehead.

It was only for a moment that they were distracted by Da-hin’s smile, which she had worked so hard to create… The female knights, who were looking at their wooden bowls that had already become warm, could only drool again.

gulp..

Seeing a man cooking like this is a very ordinary everyday occurrence that can be found in any home.

At the time when Da-heein offered to cook for herself, the female employees did not have much resistance either.

but..

Dahin’s cooking was fundamentally different from that of ordinary men.

Brave blue eyes that are not afraid of harsh fire.

These dishes may seem like they have different types of meat, but they are actually cooked to perfection.

The sight of Dahyin smiling at them and wiping away the sweat gave me an unfamiliar feeling.

＂Everyone.. don’t you eat meat??＂

＂I worked hard to make it…＂

Gurgling mouth as if hesitating to eat.

Their gazes shake like crazy as they look at each other.

I just tilted my head.

‘What.. is my cooking strange?’

just as expected. Cathar and the female knights, who finally realized that there was shiny [Tagfog] meat on their plates, came to their senses one by one and soon began to savor the taste of the meat.

“Thank you.. Master!!”

“Has!!!”

A large piece of meat the size of your face.

Even if the thickness is just over 6cm, I am satisfied.

[Tagpog] The outside of the meat boasted a beautifully seared Maillard, giving it a crunchy texture that felt like chewing on scorched rice.

And then there is the feeling of moisture slowly being sucked in without any resistance from the teeth.

The slightly sweet and spicy scent of wine.

The juice gushing out like a fountain began to fill my mouth.

＂Hey… this is…＂

“Don’t talk to me.. I’m savoring it right now..”

“I can’t believe there was such delicious meat..??”

During their journey to {Dirlin Village}, they had only eaten complementary foods such as hard jerky, cheese, and bread.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the fantastic meat that Dahuin hand-made was truly heavenly. The emotion that rushed over me like overflowing gravy was also felt beyond my expectations.

The female knights each let out strange moans and were noisily thrilled.

He even began to stamp his feet or look like he was looking for a drink.

“Soo.. I’m craving alcohol..”

“I want to eat first..”

When I saw the female knights’ reaction, I felt somewhat proud and headed somewhere without them noticing.

＇As expected, it won’t be enough.??＇

It was clearly more than enough meat for an adult woman to eat, but of course, the female knights who finished it in an instant were not satisfied yet, so they just stared at the empty plates to whet their appetite.

＂It’s still not enough, right??＂

It was then.

Dahuin, who was smiling with both hands full of grilled meat, seemed to have anticipated this situation as she brought out the huge iron plate and placed it on each person’s plate.
