Dungeon Barbecue
19:30.
It took about an hour and a half for shopping and dismantling, but I safely returned home.
"(Gacha) Welcome back! Must've been freezing out there. Let me warm you up (rub, rub)."
"Coach, welcome back! I'll prepare hot water for you now."
Ah, warm. Has my home ever been this warm before?
"Hehe, I win again!"
"Don't mess around! One more round!"
Huh? Shark and Serai-san? Sure, arm wrestling is great. But a little consideration for me wouldn't hurt!
"Oh! Welcome back, Master! Must've been cold. Did you go to the secret butcher again?"
"Yeah, went there."
Alright, let me explain. The secret butcher is a fictional butcher I created to protect the secret of the giant Kamadowma's meat.
The shopkeeper there is also a muscular fellow, and only those recognized as true muscles can buy this special meat at muscle prices.
"Amazing never seen such a huge chunk of meat!"
From the large backpack, I pulled out peeled Kamadowma meat in double transparent plastic bags. Shining under the fluorescent light, it looks glossy and delicious.
"You're exaggerating, Shark. Meat specialty shops handle this size easily (thud)."
"It's amazing, Emu meat."
Yeah, Serai-san believes that this Camel Cricket limb meat is Emu meat. Ignorance is bliss. Not exactly lying, but it's delicious, so it's okay.
"Now, how do you want to eat it? We had hot pot for lunch, so how about grilling it like a steak for dinner?"
"Oh! In that case! Let's skewer it and roast it over the fire in the dungeon!"
"Wow, that sounds delicious!"
"Sounds fun! Let's do a campfire too!"
"Well, that's a good idea. Alright, let's go with that!"
..
[Juuuuu! Sizzle, sizzle]
First, on the Dungeon's floor 1, I impale the Kamadowma meat on a broken stainless steel clothesline. Then, over the flames ignited from the Fire Wand, I slowly rotate it, letting it cook to a nice brown.
It looks like, "Well, it's cooked." As for Kamadowma meat, it's not very fatty. So, by spreading melted butter on the surface, it enhances the crispiness and flavor. Vegetables are grilled on the mesh, like a barbecue.
"Whoa! I've always wanted to do this!"
Is that so? In the Airsoft circle Trident Shark belongs, perhaps they didn't do such activities as Airsoft was their main focus. Speaking of which, what do they do for lunch in the mountainous Airsoft field? Bento or cup noodles?
"I, too Since childhood, couldn't go to things like outdoor school"
Sniff, Ruka couldn't participate in school events due to her weak health. Yeah, it's alright. Enjoy yourself to the fullest here.
"Hey, hey! Jung! Let me cut it up!"
"Huh? I don't mind, but you better do it properly."
"Yeah! I got it!"
I ask the excited Shark to cut the meat.
Shark draws a small knife with Damascus patterns from her waist, gleefully starting to slice the cooked meat.
Ah, I see. That's what you wanted to do. Well, that's fine, but since there's butter and salt on it, be sure to take care of the knife later; otherwise, it might rust, you know.
"Now, please enjoy."
"""Itadakimasu!"""
Shark slices the roasted meat, and we all gather around the flames, forming a friendly circle.
"""Delicious~!"""
Yeah, it's not the most suitable way to cook Camel Cricket meat, but thanks to the butter and the atmosphere, it tastes better than I expected.
"Coach, it's really delicious."
"Is that so? Help yourself."
"Hey, Shark, I want to give it a try too, so lend me that knife."
"Huh? No way! Use your own!"
"Aww, stingy!"
"Come on, don't fight. Let's eat together in harmony. Haa, even though I'm eating something delicious to get stronger, not being able to drink is so tough. It's really painful~"
"Hahaha, Nina-san. Patience for now. Once work settles down, let's all go out for a drink again."
"Oh, did everyone hear that? After this is over, Coach will take us out for a celebration!"
"""Kyaaa!"""
"Hey! Wai N-Nina-san? Oh, fine, I get it! But in return, everyone, give it your all!"
"""Yes!"""
Good grief. But Dungeon Barbecue is more enjoyable than I thought. Slimes won't approach as long as there's a slime wall, so this might become a regular event for the Dungeon Savers.
