## Chapter 1519 – Chronicles of the Black-Haired Foreigner – The Demon God of Another World

There wasn’t even a moment of silence.

“W, what raw fish is this!!!!!!”
“Again! Again! You black-hair, again! Again! Trying to eat raw fish!!!!”

Immediately, Liz and Winia shouted loudly, scolding me.

Of course, this was the reaction I expected.

They had been horrified ever since I enjoyed eating the Fishmen raw. They were the kind of girls who understood and supported almost everything, but they just couldn’t understand raw fish. They always nagged me, asking why I ate such strange things.

But today.

I would correct that negative perception. Sashimi is a high-class food. They’re just prejudiced because they haven’t encountered proper sashimi yet. Once they get a taste, they’ll definitely enjoy it!

“Y, you really came here to eat raw fish…?”
“Katt…”

Risha asked anxiously, and Claudia looked at me with a very affectionate expression. No. Seriously. Why. Why are you looking at me like that?

“So, this is that grotesque place that serves raw fish! Katt, you! Why are you so obsessed with raw fish?! Why can’t you give up?! It can’t possibly be delicious! It’s not even good for you!!! Don’t eat it, you weirdo!!”

My body is already immune to even the deadliest poisons, so how could mere raw fish be harmful? Despite the fact that there was no health issue whatsoever, Liz shouted.

“Black-hair, please! Graduate from doing weird things! You’re not supposed to eat stuff like that!”
“Seriously, yuck! Yuck, yuck! Yuck! Okay?! Let’s just go eat chicken! Don’t even think about eating such ridiculous things like raw fish! Katt, you need to be punished!”

What kind of feeling is this?

For a moment, I was reminded of a documentary I saw when I was young. It showed tribes in remote areas eating beetle larvae extracted from trees with great relish. I thought it was disgusting. I thought they were crazy people who had lost their minds. But the tribesmen ate it as a delicacy.

Perhaps, for them.

This sashimi.

Might look similar to me eating those larvae. Certainly. If my spouse enjoyed eating disgusting food, I wouldn’t like it either. I’d want to stop them. I’d want them to quit.

But sashimi is qualitatively different from disgusting food like larvae.

I have to let them know that.

“Say something!”

Liz pointed at me and shouted, as I was quietly listening to them.

“Alright.”

Then let’s begin!

“Okay. I understand. That’s what you guys think.”
“Why are you being so serious all of a sudden?”

Karin said something, but I have something to say now.

“You think eating raw fish is very primitive. Unclean. Ridiculous. Grotesque. Bizarre. That’s what you think it is.”
“Wouldn’t you?”
“Katt-nim. Even if Katt-nim is a god and has no health problems, I still think it’s a bit much for Katt-nim to eat raw things like some wild animal… It’s not like we don’t have anything to eat… There are so many good things…”
“That’s right! You should only eat good things! Even if it doesn’t affect your health, I can’t let my man eat something like that!”

How many against one am I fighting here?

“No. You’re all wrong. It’s all a ridiculous misunderstanding. Eating raw fish isn’t some strange culture.”
“What nonsense are you talking about!”
“Rather, it’s closer to a high-class food culture. At least on Earth.”
“What did you say?!?!”

ㅡFlash!

Liz’s eyes widened as if they were about to tear.

“Black-hair, are you lying!!”
“Are you saying that the Earthlings, surrounded by all those delicious foods… value raw fish? I don’t quite understand.”
“Exactly!”

Even Kadia pursed her lips as if she couldn’t believe it.

They still don’t know that raw fish is a high-class ingredient.

“It’s not a lie. I don’t lie to my women. The reason I brought you here today is to prove that it’s true. Would I bring you here for no reason? You all obviously hate it. I came here to clear up the misunderstanding. Misunderstanding.”
“What is…”
“Trust me.”

I say strongly, looking at them.

“Trust me and go try it. If you still think it’s not good after seeing it, then you can give up. But please experience it once. I’ll show you that it’s not a lie. This Heavenly Demon Kim Katt. Never jokes about raw fish… I’m that kind of man.”
“…”

Hearing me speak seriously, they began to look at each other.

“W, well… still, logically speaking, raw fish can’t be good…”
“Why do you think so?”
“Thinking or not. Of course, food should be cooked.”
“Then what about fruit? You don’t cook fruit either.”
“Fruit is different! Meat! If you don’t cook it properly, it can spoil! And there might be bacteria or parasites left! Even if it’s delicious, I can’t eat something dirty like that!”

Liz, her face flushed, shouted as if making excuses.

“Hehehe, I see. So that’s what you think.”

Still, she’s cute.

“But I just said it was high-class, right?”
“…You did.”
“As Liz just said. Raw fish. Raw meat has those risks. That’s obvious.”
“But why?”
“Think about it. To eat something like that raw and be fine. Of course, it has to be managed well, right? You have to properly maintain its freshness, right?”
“…”
“That’s why it’s high-class. It’s high-class because it’s thoroughly managed.”

Good.

If I’ve said this much, they should understand.

“W, what? I think I’m being persuaded?”
“Y, yeah…? In the first place, Katt-nim wouldn’t say anything nonsensical…”

Karin and Hilde nodded.

“Black-hair… is it true?”
“Of course, it’s true. Liz-nuna. Trust me.”
“…Then.”

And so, we went inside the restaurant.

* * *

I quite liked the interior.

We had rented the entire Japanese restaurant, so there were no other customers. The Japanese chefs, who greeted us energetically, were busy slicing fish, and we watched them as we entered the room and sat down.

Even though the Gate incident had occurred, the high-end restaurant industry was experiencing its second golden age. This was because hunters, who were high-income earners, had sprung up like mushrooms. Hunters wanted to enjoy gourmet food, just like the bourgeoisie, and they wanted to post it on social media.

So, they seem to have paid special attention to the interior.

Anyway.

From now on, I will eat the highest quality sashimi and uma-uma sushi to my heart’s content.

ㅡThud.

“This is our restaurant’s pride, the transcendent tuna sashimi.”

The Japanese chef, who placed the cutting board with the tuna sashimi on it, said.

“Many hunters have praised it highly. It’s such fatty tuna. You can eat it by dipping it in this soy sauce. Heavenly Demon-nim. Thank you so much for using our restaurant.”
“I have great interest in Earth’s food culture. I heard this tuna is so delicious.”
“Of course!”

He’s a very confident chef.

“Perhaps, Heavenly Demon-nim? Could I ask for a signed wooden plaque?”
“A signature? Are you talking about my seal?”
“We’re thinking of hanging it in the restaurant to show that Heavenly Demon-nim came. Such an honor…! We can’t save face if we don’t properly commemorate this!”
“I understand.”

And so, the chef who received my signature left.

ㅡThump.

The door to the room closed.

“Here.”

What was placed on the table was.

“Doesn’t it look fresh?”

The highest quality tuna sashimi, boasting a beautiful red and pink color. Red, fatty, and very clean. Just what’s on display right now is worth over a million won.

“Do you still see this as disgusting food?”

The girls, sitting demurely, were.

“…”
“…”
“…”

Silently staring at the tuna sashimi.

That gaze.

That gaze was definitely not the gaze of someone looking at something disgusting. The emotions I could read were surprise. Amazement. Bewilderment. And interest. Of course. The tuna sashimi plated on this cutting board right now. Looked damn radiant, no lie. Fish with red flesh originally have that kind of charm.

“Hmph… more than I thought.”

Claudia said.

“It’s cute. I didn’t expect something like this to come out…”
“T, that’s right…? It seems to have come out quite nicely… It’s completely different from the Fishmen that black-hair used to eat while dripping blood…”

Winia also spoke favorably.

“It’s quite well done. This one thought it would be a bit more of a mess…”
“I told you it was high-class.”
“This one apologizes.”

Reactions are starting to come one by one.

Of course, there was no reaction of “I wouldn’t eat such raw fish even if you gave it to me.”

“I apologize, Saintess-nim. Certainly, if it’s food that looks like this, I can say it’s high-class. I felt a prejudice against the word ‘raw fish’ without thinking. I apologize.”
“It’s okay, Elise. Anyone could think that way. Honestly, there wasn’t a place in our world that cooked raw fish like this.”
“That’s right.”

They were now completely immersed in the color red.

“…”

Liz, who had shouted the loudest, was also silent and focused.

“Liz-nuna. How is it.”
“…That?”
“That?”
“Certainly. It does look appetizing… Like Risha said just now, I also thought something strange would come out…”
“Would I take my women to eat something strange?”
“I, I’m sorry.”
“Hehehe, it’s okay.”

I’m glad they understand now.

Then Claudia nodded.

“If it’s this much… yeah. I see. So that’s why.”
“Claudia?”
“Katt. You used to catch Fishmen and eat them raw sometimes, right?”

Ah.

“There was something like this, so that’s why.”
“Anyway, Katt-nim! It looks really delicious! I’m curious what it tastes like! Quickly! Tell me how to eat it!”

How to eat it?

“…”

No, but.

Come to think of it, I haven’t eaten such high-class tuna sashimi before either.

Before I went to this other world, I was just an ordinary college student. Would I have the money to buy something like this? It all went to buying red ginseng for my father. Of course, I ate it once for about 100,000 won per person on days I wanted to commemorate something, but that was it. I’m looking forward to this too.

ㅡSwish.

First, I picked up the chopsticks.

“Then I’ll eat now.”
“…”
“…”
“…”

All eyes are on me.

ㅡClatter.

I pour soy sauce into the plate, dissolve the wasabi, and slowly stir it. Ooh…! Real soy sauce and wasabi…! I don’t know how many years it’s been since I ate it! When I was catching and tearing apart Fishmen raw back then, how much I missed soy sauce and wasabi!

ㅡGulp.

Naturally.

I naturally swallow my saliva.

Fishmen… Fishmen. Those Fishmen bastards were really damn delicious. I was always disappointed that there was no soy sauce and wasabi…. Thinking that.

ㅡChopsticks.

I pick up the tuna belly.

Pick it up.

ㅡPlunge.

“Like this. Dip it about halfway in here.”

After soaking it sufficiently in soy sauce.

“Heavenly Demon Divine Art Heavenly Demon Consumption.”

I put it in my mouth.

ㅡWhoosh.

The scent of wasabi wafting through the air. The taste of soy sauce. And the oiliness of the tuna. The softness. Feeling all of that, I put the tuna belly deep into my mouth.

And chew with my molars.

“Ho, ooh…! Oooooooh!”

Fishmen!

The taste of real tuna sashimi that can’t be compared to Fishmen…! That! That was filling my mouth right now! Fishmen bastards are just a substitute! I couldn’t eat sashimi that much back then, so it just tasted delicious! This is the real taste!!!

To put it simply, it was the difference between real Chilean sea bass and oilfish!!!

That much of an emotional taste blossoms in my mouth!

“It’s delicious…! It’s really delicious! Oil! The oil filling the soft flesh is spreading throughout my mouth! How can it be so savory! It can’t even be compared to Fishmen bastards!!!”

As I shouted that, the girls swallowed their saliva and asked me!

“I, is it that delicious?!”
“Where! I want to try it too!”
“Wait! Let’s eat together…!”

Like that.

ㅡSwish.

Everyone simultaneously picked up their chopsticks. Expectant eyes. The primordial feeling of disgust had disappeared. Each of them set up soy sauce and wasabi using a power similar to telekinesis.

ㅡHaap.
ㅡHaap.
ㅡHaap.

They simultaneously put the tuna in their mouths.

ㅡChew chew.

From the mouths of the girls who were chewing demurely.

“Ah.”
“Ah.”
“Ah.”

Small exclamations burst out.

Fishmen cut.

I don’t need these bastards anymore!!! The most tasteless sons of bitches in the world!!!
