Chapter 154 – Chapter 154 the Orc Champion’s Meat Dish

◈

Today’s hunt was over in the morning, and I decided to return right after lunch.

There was also the fact that both Elsie and Noah got used to their promoted bodies, but of course it took time to complete the cooking.

In particular, it is said that it takes more time to bring out the best taste of the Orc Champion’s meat.

So, after we had lunch, I moved everyone and headed straight to the ground.

Before stopping by the adventurer’s guild, we entered the fox’s shelter first.

“Oh, welcome, everyone! You’re back quickly today!”

“Oh, are you back?”

When we entered, Tina and Miranda greeted us together.

Perhaps because it was lunchtime, there was no one in the fox shelter, so it looked very empty.

“Mr. Miranda, Tina, when are you two having dinner?”

“Us? I have to serve and my mom has to cook, so I eat faster than the others. The adventurers arrive around 6 o’clock, so we eat around 5 o’clock.”

It is about 1:00 now.

“Nina, how are you?”

“It’s okay. We’ll make it in time.”

“That’s fortunate.”

“Huh? What do you mean, Mr. Rant?”

Noah smirked at Tina, who tilted her head.

“Tina, please wait until we come tonight without eating first. We’ll bring something good.”

“Is it delicious?”

“Oh, is Lant preparing for our dinner tonight?”

Elsie smiled and nodded at Miranda’s words.

“Yes, Mr. Miranda. It’s the Orc Champion’s meat dish.”

Miranda and Tina’s eyes widened at the word that it was an Orc champion’s meat dish.

“Oh, the meat of an orc champion!?”

“Is that true?”

“Yes! So please look forward to it!”

Tina’s face lit up.

“Mom! Orc champion’s meat!”

It seems Tina is so excited that the meat of an orc champion is really famous for its deliciousness.

“I heard that too, my Tina. I never thought I would eat the meat of an orc champion after I was born. By any chance… Did Rant catch it?”

“Yes. I got it as a reward for meeting and defeating the Orc Champion. So, I’m going to get some meat today and ask someone Niña-san knows to cook. So, Tina and Miranda-san, please stop eating and wait.”

“Okay, Mr. Rant! I will absolutely wait!”

“I’ll be looking forward to it, Rant.”

Leaving Tina and Miranda full of expectations behind, we headed to the adventurer’s guild.

◈

At the Adventurer’s Guild, after reporting to Mr. Lenny, we entered the warehouse where Mr. Kelvan was.

“Mr. Kelvan.”

“Huh? Ohhh, Rant! Ongenga! It was early today!”

When I looked into the warehouse, Kelvan-san was dismantling monsters with other employees.

Come to think of it, it was the first time I saw other employees in the warehouse.

“Yes, I want to eat the meat of an Orc Champion.”

“Ah, it’s natural that cooking takes time.”

Mr. Kelvan immediately understood our purpose.

“Hmm? What is Rant looking at?”

Mr. Kelvan wondered for a moment whether he felt my gaze on the staff, then looked behind him and nodded his head.

“Come to think of it, this is the first time you’ve seen someone else in the warehouse besides me. Normally, I’d be able to do it alone, but today the orders are overdue. An employee from the same guild is helping.”

“Okay.”

Actually, when I was there, I thought everyone was off work or break time.

I was a bit surprised that Mr. Kelvan usually does it alone.

“Usually, you dismantle it by yourself… Mr. Kelvan is amazing.”

“Heh heh heh, originally there was always an employee, but they all moved to another department when they saw me so excited about dismantling!”

“Ah…”

It was a very understandable reason.

“Well, thanks to that, I can enjoy the dismantling time alone to the fullest. Now, here’s the meat of an orc champion!”

Mr. Kelvan took out the meat of the orc champions carefully packed on the floor one by one.

The amount was quite large.

“I’ll take it.”

“…That’s a lot.”

“Heh heh heh, that’s a very small amount compared to the total amount of meat of an orc champion!”

“Thank you, Mr. Kelvan.”

“I’m rather thankful for me! Come on, take it and enjoy it!”

I put the meat of an orc champion in my inventory.

Then, after handing over the bodies and weapons of the orcs we caught today to Mr. Kelvan, we left the warehouse.

All that is left now is to ask a chef Niña-san knows to cook.

I can’t wait to see how delicious it will be!

◈

“Kevin.”

A restaurant with a chef Niña-san knows.

The restaurant wasn’t crowded, but there were still people.

Without hesitation, Niña walked towards the kitchen and called Kevin by name.

Soon after, a young man with brown hair came out of the kitchen.

“Is it you? Come on. What did you come for? Ho, by any chance, Fayra says she has something to say to me?”

Kevin asked with expectant eyes.

Perhaps the person named Fayra was like a succubus, an acquaintance of Mr. Niña, whom Mr. Kevin used as a regular.

“No, it’s not like that. I have something else to ask of you today.”

“Request?”

“Yeah. First of all, do you have somewhere to talk quietly?”

“If you’re looking for a quiet place to talk, the break room would be better. Come this way.”

With Mr. Kevin’s guidance, we were guided to the break room.

“Wait here for a moment.”

With those words left, Kevin left the break room.

And 10 minutes later, Mr. Kevin came back into the break room.

“I waited. There are still dishes to cook.”

“No, it’s us who came suddenly.”

“So what do you want to see?”

“Kevin, have you ever cooked the meat of an orc champion?”

“Yeah, about two years ago, a request came in to cook for us. It was the best experience at that time. But why?”

Niña smiled and said to Kevin.

“Actually, this time I got some meat from catching an orc champion. So I’m going to ask Kevin to cook for me.”

Kevin’s eyes widened at Mr. Niña’s words his.

“What!? That’s for real!”

“Of course. Rant, get some meat here.”

“Yes, Mr. Niña.”

I took out the meat of an orc champion packed on a table in the break room.

As soon as Kevin saw the Orc Champion’s meat, he put his hands on the table and saw the Orc Champion’s meat.

“This, this! The meat of an Orc Champion! It’s real! That said, I heard that the Orc Champion’s meat was distributed yesterday, but I can’t believe it…”

“Maybe that’s the Orc Champion we caught. Didn’t you buy it at this store?”

“Because Orc Champion meat is popular everywhere. We desperately tried to buy it at our restaurant, but this time it wasn’t enough. But now, there’s Orc Champion meat right in front of you!”

Mr. Kevin straightened up and said to Mr. Niña.

“Ni-nya! I-will you sell the meat of this orc champion to our restaurant? I’ll pay for it! An important guest is coming this month!

If we serve that guest as a special menu of Orc Champion meat, our restaurant’s reputation will go up!”

“No. Did we come to this store to eat in the first place?”

“I’m sorry…”

Mr. Kevin made a very angry expression.

The meat of an orc champion was cooked and served on the menu, and that shop must have earned its reputation.

“Hey… Mr. Kevin?”

“Huh? You…”

“Oh, my name is Rant.”

“Rant? Could it be a Dungeon Crasher…”

I guess Kevin knows my nickname too.

“That’s right, Dungeon Crasher Rant is a hot topic right now. It’s Rant who caught the Orc Champion.”

After hearing Niña’s words, Mr. Kevin bowed his head towards me.

“Boo, please! Boo, can you please sell the meat to our restaurant!”

Perhaps thinking that I had the initiative, Mr. Kevin bent down and asked me several times.

“Hey, Mr. Kevin.”

“Yes!”

Kevin straightened his body and looked at me with eyes full of anticipation and passion.

“Is this one piece all you need?”

“Yes! This is enough! Rather, there are more than enough!”

There is still plenty of Orc Champion meat.

Then wouldn’t it be better to give this orc meat to Kevin and ask him to cook?

“Then I’ll pass this meat to Mr. Kevin’s restaurant.”

“I-Really!”

“Yes, instead…”

I took a few more pieces of orc champion meat from my inventory.

“Please cook these meats deliciously.”

“Oh, so much meat from an Orc champion… !”

“Ah, I’m not going to eat here, but I want to bring some dishes, but the cutlery and plates… “

Before I could finish my words, Mr. Kevin intercepted my words and said,

“I’ll give it to you! Any amount! I’ll get all the utensils and plates! Thank you, Mr. Rant!”

Kevin grabbed my hand and shook it.

“Then, please cook for 11 people. Is this enough?”

“That’s more than enough! Wait a minute!”

Kevin immediately left the break room.

“Hey! Great news!”

Over the door, I heard Kevin’s excited voice.

When Mr. Kevin left, Mr. Niña turned to me and asked.

“Are you okay, Rant? Give me the whole piece.”

“Yes, it’s fine. There’s still more meat. Besides, you’re Niña-san’s acquaintance.”

“You don’t have to worry too much about that.”

Even after saying that, Niña-san smiled brightly.

It is said that it was Niña-san’s acquaintance who gave me the whole piece, but I still have more orc champion meat.

I don’t think it’s bad to leave a good impression on the person who will definitely ask for it next time.

Then Noah tilted her head and asked me.

“By the way, Rant, why is it serving 11 people? Isn’t 6 servings enough for us, Tina, and Miranda-san?”

“Ah, that’s… To give to the people I’m usually indebted to.”

Elsie also tilted her head.

“The ones you owe?”

“Yes. First of all, Mr. Kelvan, who gave me the meat of the Orc Champion. Then I want to give it to Mr. Lenny and the guild leader.”

It’s a pure favor for Mr. Kelvan and Lenny, but I have a strong feeling that I’m giving it to the guild leader in the sense that I’ll ask you to take good care of me in the future.

It is a good law to look good to those who are originally high in status.

“What about the other two?”

“Later, when I go back to my hometown, I will give it to my mother and father.”

“I see. Huh? Are you thinking of going back to Rant’s hometown?”

“Why? Something’s wrong, Noah?”

“No… Usually it’s very rare for people who come here from outside to become adventurers to return to their hometown. Usually, everyone settles down here after earning money or leaves for another area.

If it’s the kind that went back to their hometown… Adventurers are people who don’t fit their aptitude or who can’t go on adventures anymore because of injuries.”

“I see.”

Don’t you think that ordinary adventurers want to see their parents’ faces once they leave?

Elsie asked, gently holding my hand.

“U-Hey, Rant… You’re not thinking of leaving Fledan, are you?”

Maybe my words gave you a little anxiety.

I wrapped my hands around Elsie’s and shook her head.

“I have no intention of leaving at all, Elsie. I’ve just been thinking of making a stop at home recently.”

As if remembering Niña-san, she patted her index finger and said.

“Come to think of it, I said Rant’s hometown takes about three days by carriage, right?”

“Yes. It’s relatively close. If I run, I’ll probably be there in less than a day.”

“When you say that, it feels very close~. But why is Rant going to visit his hometown for a while?”

“Originally, when I became an adventurer and earned money, I was going to send some of the money to my parents once a month.”

“Hee~ I see. Huhu, Rant is a filial son.”

“Bar, I think it’s desirable!”

“Actually, at first I thought it would be nice to send even 50 silver a month…”

“Hee hee, aren’t you rich enough to easily buy a bed for 10 gold?”

“Haha… Yeah. So, since I got a lot of money, I’m giving it to my parents… Actually, I want to brag a bit.”

Our mother who likes money already.

Wouldn’t your jaw drop open when you saw me holding a ton of money?

“How much will you pay, Rant?”

“100 gold.”

“Pears, 100 gold each?!”

“Yes. You raised me up until now… Because you are my precious parents. Ah, but even if you take the gold as a whole, it won’t be of any use in our hometown… Niña-san, you’ll exchange gold for silver at the currency exchange, right?”

“Yes. I can change it. Are you going to change everything to silver?”

“No, I’m only going to leave 10 gold as gold. In fact, I think it’s safest to go myself because the money I’m giving you is a lot of money.”

At first, I was thinking of entrusting it to the coachman, but no matter how much, I couldn’t simply entrust the money of 100 gold.

“Hee hee, well, if Rant delivers it himself, there’s nothing to worry about.”

“Hey~ Rant~.”

Mr. Niña took me and hugged his arm his tightly.

I feel the touch of my voluptuous breasts and am very happy.

Niña smiled broadly and told me.

“When Rant stops by his hometown his… Can I come too?”

Niña asked to accompany her on her way home.
