“Eh, Miri . Are there actually even eels(Unagi) in this world? If it’s rabbits (Usagi) then I’ve killed them the moment I came into this world though . ”
“There are . There are even regular eels apart from those that are monsters . Wait, Onii, you killed rabbits? Near Florence?”
Miri raised her voice in surprise . True, I never would have thought of killing rabbits when I was in Japan . Especially since Miri liked rabbits . To the point that she even had a rabbit headband .
“Nn … yeah . At that time, I desperately followed what was written in Daijiro-san’s note after all . ”
According to Daijiro-san’s note, the pelt could be sold so it was better to hunt them if I could .
However, if I didn’t defeat the rabbit at that time, my Jobless wouldn’t have leveled up and I would have changed job to Commoner like everyone else .
“Leaving that aside, there are eels, eels you know . I see, there are eels in this world too … then I can breed them … no, breeding is impossible huh . Furthermore, if they are dungeon monsters, they would disappear once they are defeated . ”
“It’s impossible to breed them . In the first place, it’s difficult to raise them even if we have their eggs . Well, in the past in the Demon Lord Castle we captured juvenile fish and raised them via aquaculture . But defeating the eels would drop a large fillet so I think it’s fine if we just eat that? I let a Japanese who transferred to this world about 150 years ago that stayed at the Demon Lord Castle try it and he commented that it tasted as delicious as the eel from Edo . ”
“I see … then I have great expectations for it . ”
I was already salivating . I didn’t think I would be able to eat eel in this world .
“Miri, I have a question . ”
“Charcoal, earthen charcoal grill, skewers and grandma’s secret sauce, I have them all here . ”
“As expected of Miri! Perfect . ”
I inadvertently gave Miri a hug .
To think she even brought grandma’s secret sauce . I thought that I at most had to resort to mirin and soy sauce .
It’s already perfect .
“Because I love the eel kabayaki that Onii makes too . ”
“Very good, I’ll let Miri have the best piece! Let’s go!”
I opened the door to the boss room .
Just opening the door didn’t start the boss fight .
The battle only began when we entered the door .
That’s why Adventurers could verify the appearance of the boss in the boss room before entering .
Floating there was a blue eel with huge stature . It was 20 times the size of an ordinary eel, it looked more like an enormous snake . It was moving its body vigorously .
It’s lively .
“Hn, it’s gross after all . Onii, let’s defeat it with magic from afar . ”
I thought I heard Miri say something but my body moved unconsciously .
“Ice! Ice! Ice! Boost Ice!”
I released Ice Magic .
“Onii, what are you doing!?”
Miri raised a shocked voice .
That’s because I sent the Ice Magic not at the blue eel but at the surrounding walls and the ceiling .
At first glance, that action seemed meaningless but Miri could see the unexpected effects immediately .
The blue eel’s movements became dull .
“I see … it’s still a poikilotherm even as a monster … but that looks like a tremendous waste of MP . ” (TL: Poikilotherm = Animal whose internal temperature varies considerably according to the ambient environmental temperature)
Miri muttered but I sliced the neck of the blue eel flying in front of me .
“You did it!”
Miri cried out but I unconsciously pulled my sword away when I reached the middle bone of the eel before landing and then leaping back and throwing my sword .
The eel was still alive .
“Excellent, here I come! Right on target!”
I threw my sword like I was chanting a skill .
The thrown sword stabbed into the eel’s jaw and fixed it onto the ice that formed on the wall .
Great, once it has been fixed, all I have to do is make an incision from the cut at the head and cut open the torso from above the middle bone ―
“Eh? The eel …”
The eel disappeared before I knew it and there was a sliced open eel left on the ice . All that was left was to dip it in sauce and grill it .
The eel portion was five times larger than normal but there wasn’t much if everyone ate it .
