Chapter 488 Eating the Crab (Unedited)

Read the Edited Version Here

A group of us who have been out of the city again.

The place we arrived at was an open area a little far from the banks of the Eremai River.

“If you’re too close to the river, monsters may come near you.”

“I can work more calmly around here, and I don’t think there will be any problems with draining the water in which the crabs were boiled.”

So, first, I took out the Berserk Mud Crab from the item box.

‘Hey, what are you going to do with that? 』

“What are you going to do about it… Sui, can you come here for a minute?”

“What is it?”

Sui, who was riding on Grandpa Gon’s back, jumped down and approached me.

“You know, with water magic, can you make a ball of water big enough for this crab to fit in?”

“Understood.”

Saying that, when Sui put her strength into “Mmm~”, the water began to gather and form a huge water ball.

“Alright, is this okay? 』

“Yeah. Very well done.”

there…….

“Pick up some salt.”

“Of course, it’s less at first.”

“I try to lick it with my finger.”

“As expected, this amount of water is thin with this salt…”

“Add more salt.”

“Put it on your finger again.”

“Slightly salty.

“Next is this.”

“Fireball”

Throw in a volleyball-sized fireball.

Jutsu —.

“It disappeared immediately.”

“What are you doing, my lord? Well, now I know what I want to do, but that would be too small.』

Fer says so with an exasperated face.

“Umu. I understand the purpose of the main hall to heat the water ball, but the fireball seems to be too small.』

“Even Grandpa Gon says that.”

“Gunu, I know. It’s the first time, so I just tried it!”

“It’s important to adjust things like this.”

“What, if that’s the case, I’ll do it.”

“Saying that, Dora-chan shot a large fireball that looked like it was about 3 meters in diameter…”

“Hey, hey, no good! Stop!”

I panicked and stopped Dora-chan.

“Why are you stopping me?”

“Why would water evaporate if you put that big fireball in it!”

“It’s troublesome. Then what are you going to do? 』

“It’s important to moderate things like this. Fel, old man Gon, and Dora-chan, who can use fire magic, gather around Sui’s water ball. Oh, of course, old man Gon can use fire magic, right?”

“Of course”

Fel, Grandpa Gon, Dora-chan, and me and the fire wizard spread out around the water ball.

“First, throw in a fireball of this size.”

I made a fireball the size of a basketball and showed it to everyone.

“Is it okay to be so small? 』

“It’s just a wait and see, so for the time being.”

“Dora-chan, who has a lot of magical power and is good at magic, was naturally able to do it right away, but Fer and Grandpa Gon…”

“Hey, is this okay? 』

“Fel, it’s too big.”

“I made one the size of a basketball, but it’s one meter in diameter, right?”

“Mmm……. …… Hmmm …… Phew, how about something like this? 』

“Hmm, it’s a little big, but it’s okay.”

“It’s about a size bigger than a basketball, but it’s fine for now.”

“My lord, what about mine? 』

“Well, it’s obviously too big. It’s bigger than Fel’s, isn’t it?”

Grandpa Gon’s fireball was one size bigger than Fer’s fireball that I rejected.

“No good. Hmmm… mmm… Hmm, how about this? 』

“Grandpa Gon’s is still a little big, but that’s okay.”

“It’s about the same size as the fireball Fer remade, so it’s fine.”

“Then let’s go.”

Fer, Grandpa Gon, Dora-chan, and I threw the fireballs we each made into the waterball.

“Juh, hoot, hoot, oomph――――.”

Four fireballs disappear in the water.

“Hmm, it looks like there’s still a long way to go…”

I timidly dipped my finger into the water ball.

“It’s lukewarm.”

“So, one more time.”

“I’ll try a slightly larger fireball next time.”

“Are you all ready? Alright, now’s the time.”

“Juh, hoot, hoot, oomph――――.”

Four fireballs disappeared into the water again.

“Steam rises from the water ball.”

“But it doesn’t look like the crab is ready to boil.”

I also dipped his finger into it to check the temperature.

“It’s about the temperature of a bath.”

“This is still not enough.”

“So, one more time.”

“This time with a bigger fireball than before.”

“Is everyone okay? Let’s go.”

“Juh, hoot, hoot, oomph――――.”

The third fireball disappeared into the water.

“How about this time?”

“Oh, it might be good this time.”

Bubbles and bubbles are rising toward the top of the water ball.

“Yeah, this should be fine.”

“Finally”

“Troublesome”

“It’s true”

“Don’t say that. Then this hot water ball… It’s Sui’s turn. Lock that big crab in this water ball.”

“Hi! 』

Sui moved the water ball with “Mumumu” and trapped the Berserk Mud Crab inside it.

“Fu, Alji, is this okay? 』

“Yeah, perfect”

However, the air bubbles inside the water ball are gone.

“It seems that the temperature has dropped a little since the crab was added.”

“Fireball, one more time.”

“Fer, Gon-jii, Dora-chan, one more fireball. It’s fine if it’s smaller than the last one. Also, be careful not to hit the crab.”

“That’s how much I know.”

Fer, Grandpa Gon, Dora-chan, and I put fireballs in the gaps to avoid hitting the crabs.

“Juh, hoot, hoot, oomph――――.”

When the 4 fireballs disappeared in the water, bubbles began to rise again inside the waterballs.

While boiling the crab, turn on the fireball so that the temperature does not drop.

and. A lot of waiting….

“Hey, not yet? 』

“Master, I’m really hungry.”

“I’m hungry~. Any crabs yet? 』

“Aruji, I’m hungry”

“It’s been a while.”

A giant crab that has started to turn red after being boiled.

Sui, you can throw away the hot water.

“Hi”

Bashan――――.

“Watch!”

The splashes of hot water fell on my cheeks and I unintentionally screamed.

“Yes! 』

Sui was surprised and rushed to my feet.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I was just a little surprised because the heat hit my cheeks.”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry”

Sui’s cool tentacles stretched out and touched my cheek.

“Thank you. It’s cool and feels good.”

“Sui’s kindness makes me feel warm…”

“You’re as weak as ever, my lord.”

“You’re weak, hot things are hot, right?”

“Isn’t it better than that? “Hurry up and feed me.”

『Master, I also want to eat quickly.』

“Me too. Hurry up Kany

“Sui wants to eat crabs too! 』

Tohoho.

“There’s nothing better than a gluttonous quartet’s appetite.”

“After it cools down a bit…”

“I wonder if I can hurt my leg? For the time being… it’s okay!”

“Fuck.”

“Yeah, it was pretty easy.”

“So, it’s bouncing.”

I threw away all the boiled Berserk mud crab legs.

“Okay. All you have to do is cut the shell and take out the meat inside… You said the shell was hard.”

“The guild master of Ronkainen’s adventurer’s guild, Mr. Orson.”

“They said they really wanted to buy it, but if I declined even though I would eat it, it would have been like I had a lot of regrets.”

“There seems to be no doubt that the material is of that high quality.”

“Is it impossible to use a normal kitchen knife?”

While I was thinking that, I tried lightly using one of my favorite knives, which I bought at an online supermarket.

“Shut up–.”

“Okay? By any chance, can you cut it?”

When I made a cut with the Net Super Knife, although there was some resistance, it cut without any problems.

“You said that this shell is hard, but if you boil it in boiling water, it might become brittle.”

While thinking about such things, I processed the crab legs.

“And then I bought some rubber gloves at the net supermarket…”

“Good shot”

Using his hands, he pulled out the meat stuck in the thick crab legs.

The gluttonous quartet put the plump meat they took out on their own plates.

Along the way, I don’t forget to reserve about 3 thin legs on the bottom (although it’s quite thick because it’s originally a crab the size of a 4-ton truck) to use for a certain dish.

“Fuu, is this the case?”

“Oh, hey, not yet? 』

Fer, Grandpa Gon, Dora-chan, and Sui all had their eyes glued to the plate filled with crab meat.

“Pupu. Yes, yes, please.”

When I put the plate in front of everyone, I stuffed my mouth full as if I couldn’t wait.

I also stuffed my mouth full of crab meat.

The moment I bit into it, an electric shock ran through me.

Fer, Grandpa Gon, Dora-chan, and Sui’s gluttonous quartet met their eyes.

and…….

『『』『“Delicious!!!”』』』』

A rich flavor and sweetness unique to crab.

That spreads out over my mouth and naturally makes me smile.

“It might be the most delicious crab I’ve ever had in my life.”

The gluttonous quartet was also engrossed and stuffed their cheeks.

Along with that, I diligently removed the crab meat from its shell as I savored it.

“Oops, maybe it’s time for this.”

“Boiled crab with a slightly salty taste is good, but I like this one too.”

“I think this might be my favorite dipping sauce for boiled crab.”

“That’s why I took out the ponzu soy sauce.”

“Put this on…”

“Good!”

The sour ponzu sauce and crab meat are a perfect match.

“Hey, what is that? 』

“It’s ponzu soy sauce. It’s delicious with this.”

“Give me! 』

“I am too! 』

“me too! 』

“Sui! 』

The color in everyone’s eyes changed as they thought that the exquisitely delicious crab just boiled would make it even more delicious.

I poured ponzu soy sauce over a generous amount of crab meat and served it.

“Mumu, this is also delicious! 』

“Umu. This sour goes surprisingly well! 』

“Umma! “This is great!” 』

“This is delicious too! 』

It seems that the gluttonous quartet also liked the crab meat with ponzu soy sauce.

“And this is the last one.”

“The giant shell was rolled up…”

“Uhyo, it’s full of meat and plenty of crab miso!”

“yeah? “What is that?”

“He asks me what kind of good-eared Fer is.”

“It’s crab miso. Didn’t you eat it at the sea before?”

“Is that so? “It’s a disgusting color.”

“Dora-chan notices and peeks at me, but it’s disgusting.”

“Well, the crabs I ate in the sea weren’t this big, so I think I cooked them up then.”

I did it.

“Don’t judge by the color. Crab miso is rich, rich, and has a faint bitterness, so it’s delicious.”

“What’s the pain? Sui, it’s okay to be bitter~』

“I pass too. Judging by its color and appearance, I don’t think it’s food at all.』

“Wow… I’ve tasted it before, Dora-chan.”

“Ka, crab miso is a taste for grown-ups.”

“It can’t be helped because Dora-chan and Sui are still children.”

While thinking so, I took out the shell and dipped it in the crab miso and ripped it off.

“Kuh, it’s delicious. Makes me want some sake.”

『What, if it’s so delicious, let me eat it too.』

“I’m sure Fer must have eaten at the sea.”

For Fer who said he wanted to eat it, I put the meat with crab miso on the plate.

ripoff.

“How is it?”

“…………It’s not bad. It’s not bad, but the body alone is more delicious.』

“Gunuu, you’re a kid who doesn’t know what an adult tastes like~”

“Sure, this crab meat is really delicious.”

“It’s delicious, but crab miso is also good.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll enjoy crab miso by myself. Together with sake!”

“Master, I will accompany you.”

“Grandpa Gon~”

『I don’t dislike alcohol.』

“All right, all right, old Gon, why don’t you enjoy the taste of adults with me!”

“So, get ready.”

“This shell is too big… so it’s fine.”

“It’s not a shell, but it’s a grilled crab miso shell.”

Using part of the leg shell, add the crab miso and loosened meat and mix.

Then add sake and a little soy sauce and grill it on the BBQ stove.

“When the water evaporates, it’s ready to eat.”

“hoi”

I pour a 1.8 liter bottle of sake into a deep plate and serve it to Grandpa Gon.

The sake he chose was from Niigata, which was popular at Liquor Shop Tanaka.

I remembered that my senior, who loves Japanese sake, insisted that I recommend it because it has a light and refreshing taste and goes well with food, so I bought it.

“I pour myself into a transparent cup.”

“I went out of my way to buy it at an online supermarket.”

“If you’re going to drink sake, use this old-fashioned, clear, slightly smaller cup.”

“Then, grab a bite of the crab miso and gokku.”

“Ku~, it’s delicious~”

“Any me too”

Old man Gon also picked it up with his claws on his front leg and licked it.

“And then, drink sake with your mouth.”

『Hoho~, this isn’t so bad, Master~』

“You’re right. This is the taste of grown-ups. The combination of sake and crab miso is exquisite.”

“Gon and I had a great time drinking.”

“What is the taste of adults? Aren’t you just a drunkard?

Fer is astonished when he says that, but she can’t hear me.

“Oh, Grandpa Gon’s mouth is quite good.”

“Grandpa Gon’s sake is gone.”

“Hey, have another drink.”

“While saying so, I’ll pour it again.”

“Oh, I’m sorry, Lord. However, this crab miso goes terribly well with this sake. I can’t help but drink it.』

“That’s right. Even if you think you’re going to drink little by little with this as a snack, you won’t notice it.”

“When I was talking to Grandpa Gon…”

“Woohoo. An unparalleled sake lover lives here.”

“Lord Demiurge…”

“You can give it to me.”

“Ah, so you want one.”

“Since the sake offering was done quickly before coming to Ronkainen, I’m sure you have sake on hand, but did you hear that it was a snack that would go great with it?”

“Ah yes yes.

I hurriedly made shell-grilled pieces for Demiurge-sama and offered them to him.

“Whoa, thank you~”

The carapace disappears along with the faint light.

『Fuhaha, the majesty of God is nothing in front of the main hall. Well, if you want to say that, we’ll be in trouble too.』

Old man Gon looked at Gaffgaff and Fer eating the crab meat with great relish.

“Fufu, well, God needs fun too.”

『Ah, I should be able to get the last reward a little later, so please look forward to it~』

“Lord Demiurge, you said something like a reward.”

“Hey, the gods of this world really are free, aren’t they?”
