Chapter 251 – The Butcher on the Beach
The intense stimulation coiled around my tongue and hit my brain at the same time!
Chew. Chew. Chew, chew, chew and chew! I couldn’t stop chewing!
“Spit a bastard! Gigi, Gigi!”
Winia grabbed my head and started shaking it!
But don’t stop!
“Ah! You madman, spit it out!”
The savory oil spreads widely as if forming a film in the mouth, stimulating the tongue. The mashed gravy drips down my throat—I swallow it.
— Gulp.
“…Cut?”
Cloudy looked down at me with anxious eyes.
“Delicious.”
“Yes?”
“It’s delicious.”
Delicious.
“Ooooo!!!!!”
I couldn’t think of anything more.
It’s the first sashimi I’ve had in years. Immediately, he dismantled the fish man’s flesh and removed the flesh. Red meat fish! It tasted like greasy tuna!
“It’s delicious! It’s delicious!”
I felt the taste of blood a little, but my tongue, which had been stimulated for the first time in a while, didn’t care about that at all. This umami! The taste of this oil! This firm flesh! I shoved the chunks of flesh from my thighs into my mouth and ate them like I was chewing pizza.
“…Delicious?”
Said Winia, frowning her.
“Delicious! So delicious! This is the taste of home!”
“Eh, Katt was nomadic, right?”
“Yeah! Back in my hometown, fish was eaten raw! This is what it tastes like!”
“What the hell is this… Bastard I don’t know.”
Despite their objection, I focused on dismantling the flesh of the dead fishmen. Freshly caught live fish! I can’t even buy this with my own money!
“I’ll eat all the evil fishmen and get rid of them!”
Excited, I ate the fishmen at random.
ㅡBeat!
At that time, he seemed to be pretending to be dead, but he suddenly got up and saw a fishman running away behind him with his butt on his butt.
…Do you dare pretend to be behind?
I slowly approached him while chewing on the flesh of the fishman in my mouth.
ㅡJaehehehehe! Aye!!
I saw that my legs were broken.
So I guess I couldn’t stand it.
ㅡZueeeee
As I approached, it cursed at me, uttering an ominous, unintelligible language of the depths in the most menacing tone.
“…There’s fear in your eyes.”
The eyelidless eyes seemed to have no focus, but I could sense the thick fear in his eyes.
“Fear is the best spice.”
The emotion I felt was ‘appetite’.
What will he taste like?
“Be my food!”
ㅡJeoeeeee!!!!!
I thrust the knife right into the man’s mouth and cut off his life. The arm his, which had been struggling randomly to resist, soon stretched out.
Fresh raw fish sashimi!
I immediately peeled off his flesh and ate it.
Prey on the weak!
“This is the food chain! In front of humans, the absolute superior lords of all creation, you are just prey! I, Kim Katt, personally! I will give you lowly fishmen a chance to become my bones and flesh!”
That’s the law of the weak!
“Rejoice at my mercy! Fishmen! Rejoice at being my food, fishmen!”
ㅡ Kooooo!!
By consuming the warrior I hunted myself, I fully accepted his power as mine! While roaring for a long time, he hacked up the corpses of the fishmen!
And ate!
“Ah, no! You! The fishmen…!”
Then the merchants approached me.
It was a very starting look.
Is something wrong?
“You know how to eat! Were you a seaman too!”
He said with admiration!
“Of course I’ll sell it! There’s nothing better than raw fish!”
“Bring the plate!”
After all, they were sea men!
Even in another world, there was a culture of eating raw fish! Seafood vendors with kitchen knives rushed in and busily dismantled the fishmen.
“Hey! Eating these fish meat raw is a taste that only us seafarers know! I didn’t expect a stranger like you to know the taste!”
The merchant, smiling brightly, cuts off the flesh from the fisherman’s arm and eats it as it is.
“This, what the hell is this… Bastard am I weird?”
“Kat, is it really good?”
Winia and Cloudy were in a state of confusion.
In fact, the concept of eating something raw was not well known to me. For them, eating the flesh of an uncooked fish would come as a strange custom.
“It’s so delicious, hey. But it might feel a little strange because of the cultural difference. It might not suit your taste. So I wouldn’t recommend eating it.”
I explained to them as rationally as possible.
Because cultural differences are originally a cautious issue.
Ah!
With a chojang! Soy sauce! Wasabi!
Why not!!
As I continued to eat fish sashimi, the thought took hold of me.
“Seeing that everyone eats it, it must be food to be eaten. But I don’t eat it.
“Kat is delicious, so I want to try it… But I don’t want to put it in my mouth…”
“He’s saying he doesn’t want to eat that. Let’s go and rest.”
“Yes…”
The two women went over there and sat down on the box.
I was just happy and ate the fishmen with the merchants.
“Hey! I know the taste, but my knife skills are a bit poor! Stay still! I’ll cut them all!”
“Oohhh! Thank you!”
We moved the fishmen’s corpses, which were at least fine, to the inside of the barricade. After moving, it was just a breeze. In an instant, the merchant who dismembered the body began to carve out the flesh of the fishmen at an invisible speed.
It’s not something you’ve done once or twice.
It seemed that fishmen were a delicacy among sailors.
Before long, the red flesh of the fishmen was densely packed into a white plate.
“Here! Eat! Oh, and there is a special local sauce. Would you like to try it?”
“Of course I have to eat! Thank you!”
“Thank you! I’m even more grateful that you saved us!”
He sprinkled the sauce he brought out on the fish man sashimi.
What will it taste like!
I picked up the large piece of meat with the fork I received and shoved it into my mouth… The sauce is salty! At the same time, you can feel the spicy taste! It’s a little less than soy sauce and wasabi, but it was good just to feel good!
“What!”
“It was so delicious! This sauce is so good! It’s salty and spicy!”
Haha!
“You know what!”
He ate all the sashimi as if he were hiding his eyes his. The savory oily taste that filled my mouth made me go crazy.
Still not enough..!
“We’ll have to serve you a meal for this! Call your party!”
“I can’t believe it! Really!”
“It’s natural for a benefactor!”
I went to call Winia and Cloudy who were resting over there. The two of them were sitting and looking out to sea as if they were bored.
“Did you fuck all the bastards? Just roll your eyes… Don’t you care about us?”
Winia grumbled.
“No. I’ll treat the merchants over there with a meal as a token of appreciation. Not raw food, but proper food. Let’s go and eat. It will be delicious.”
“…Then let’s go.”
“You can eat that.”
It seems that he was hungry because he hadn’t eaten anything other than chewing dry food in the morning. Because of the fish man, the restaurant and everything were all fucked up.
Then I went inside the fish market with them.
The merchants even made a seat. It’s also a good thing to do and see. How happy would it be to catch and kill all the fishmen, earn money, eat delicious food, and so on?
We waited for the menu to appear.
It took a little while, but it didn’t feel so boring because it was fun to just watch them cook.
“Try it!”
The merchant started bringing out plates of food.
“Oh, oh…! Thank you! I’ll enjoy it!”
“Don’t just talk about it, hurry up and try it! It’s Eoingu!”
What was on the plate was grilled fish with seasoning. It seems that the flesh has been gutted, seasoned on the spot, and grilled over fire and smoke. First of all, the score was high for being innocent.
“Oh man…”
At the word fishman, Winia frowned at her again. She sliced it herself and put it in her mouth as she pondered whether to eat it or not. Winia, who reluctantly tasted it, opened her eyes wide.
“…Is it delicious?”
“Right?”
There is no way that seasoned boneless grilled fish is not tasty.
“Where, me too.”
Cloudy took a piece too and, like Winia, opened her eyes wide and said it was delicious. No wonder. Didn’t you eat grilled fish at the night market? Even if he was a fisherman, there wouldn’t be much difference between him and a fish.
And these merchants are people who live on fish.
Each of them had their secret recipe.
So we unintentionally filled our stomachs at the fish market, which became a fishman slaughterhouse. The merchants expressed their deep gratitude for saving their market and their lives from the fisherman’s raid.
“Thank you so much! If it wasn’t for you guys, the market would have been ruined!”
Hehe, the fishmen came in, so we have to help each other and survive.”
I said goodbye to them and went out to tidy up the fishmen’s heads.
“Ah, I’m full. The fish man is also quite delicious.”
“I can’t believe it. Eating a fish man.”
“I hope you enjoyed it.”
At any rate, he killed more than 20 fishmen.
Although most of them were killed by Cloudy.
I used the rope I brought to make a hole in the fishman’s chin and weave it like a gulbi. You’ll have to drag it all the way to the prize exchange.
He Killed 38 fishmen in just one day.
Even with 11 silver, I got a lot of money called 40 copper.
After all, war makes money.
If I continue like this for a few more days, I think I will be able to recover half of the cost of the trip.
ㅡ Quality.
We went up the way we came again, dragging the heads of fishmen weaved together in three groups. The prize exchange was up there. I don’t know if the exchange will play its part in this chaos.
ㅡAhhhhh!
There was also an attack by fishmen in the middle of the climb. They were the ones who broke into the waterways and sewers. Because I was full, I didn’t eat it and just killed it. To Kim Katt, who had already caught and ate a fish man, killing such an offspring was a piece of cake.
“Cut. Let’s weave that too.”
“It’s nagging if you say it twice.”
This too was tied up.
After climbing for a while, I saw the Adventurer’s Guild.
Eyes turned towards us. They are skilled people who massacre fishmen and return. It was natural to look away. Perhaps feeling intimidated, all the people gathered like bees moved out of the way.
All of them were at most people with a head or two raised.
“Oh my God. How many of these are there? Is the war over?”
As we brought the heads to the counter, a middle-aged man wearing a monocle and appearing to be a clerk asked us in surprise.
“They’re still flocking like bees. It’s only a small fraction. If the soldiers explode like this, it looks like they’ll come all the way here.”
I don’t know what the fishmen’s purpose was, but they seemed to be advancing while longing for something. As if something very important was beyond this ridge.
There is nothing beyond this other than the city.
Could it be that they are trying to save their comrades who have been detained in the night market or the aquarium?
It is an unrealistic imagination.
“Such… The situation seems serious. Anyway, I’ll give you a bounty. But the number of fishmen is more than I thought. It’s good to know that the bounty may run out. Check the guild every morning.”
“Yes? Is the bounty running out?”
“Because the budget isn’t infinite.”
I’ll have to be careful.
It seems that a certain amount of the budget was solved for the cost of subjugating fishmen. When it is depleted, you will have to repel the fishmen with only soldiers… It looks a little dangerous.
You know you’ll do well
That’s what they do.
“Here’s a prize of 12 silver.”
“Yes. That’s correct. Good job.”
I received the prize money and came out.
Cloudy and Winia were waiting.
“Hehe, I made a lot of money.”
“Are you okay?”
12 silver…
If you buy fish sashimi with this, isn’t it a total dog profit?
When I said that, Winia grabbed me by the neck and shook me, telling me not to talk bullshit.
