Chapter.7 Cheese
“Do you know how to swim?”
“Of course!”
Lurin smiles in remorse, with only her neck literally floating above the sea water.
“You stay still! Next is my turn! “I will attack you with a splash attack!”
“hey!”
Lulin seemed so excited that he laughed and started creating a tornado in the water. It’s like a dragon that doesn’t know what’s appropriate.
“Hey, wait a minute! You stupid dragon! “Do it in moderation!”
A strong whirlwind appears in the water. Even Lulin and I were caught up in the whirlwind and spinning around in a huge circle.
It feels like I’m on an amusement ride. Where does this end? Is it the nether?
“Will you stop? “You’re too far from the beach!”
“It’s fun, why are you doing that!”
“No, this is too obayaaa! Stop it! “You’re not giving me food?”
The rotation gradually gained momentum, and even his voice became thinner like cheese. Fortunately, the threat of not providing food seemed to have worked, as the effect of the magic soon subsided and the sea became quiet as if it had never been that way.
As a mop, I floated on the sea and looked at Lurin.
“Anyway, the sea is amazing. “This fish is so big!”
Lurin lifted the huge fish floating in the sea with both hands. The fish was stunned with its huge teeth wide open.
Looking at its abnormally sharp teeth, I thought it was some kind of monster, but it looked very familiar. The only thing unfamiliar is the teeth.
No matter how you look at it, it looks very similar to a bluefin tuna. No, it doesn’t look alike, no matter how you look at it, it’s a tuna.
What kind of tuna are there on a coast like this? It’s an incomprehensible ocean current. Is it the effect of a tornado? Or do tuna monsters originally live on the coast in this world?
I guess the second hypothesis has to be correct.
“It could be a fish or a monster.”
“Huh?”
“Rurin, let’s take that and go back to the beach.”
When I saw fresh tuna, my eyes rolled back. So, I chose to retreat to the coast. When they arrived at the shore, Lulin was still standing holding the bluefin tuna with both hands.
It is a standing posture.
“That looks delicious, so hold on to it for a little while longer.”
“Is this delicious? I hate fish! “It’s fishy and not tasty.”
“wait. Wouldn’t that be a little different? Besides, you’ve never eaten such a big fish, have you?”
“Yes, but… .”
While Lulin was standing with his hands up, I cut down a nearby tree and joined it together. Because you can’t put it down on the sand.
It is a makeshift plate made of wood.
“now. “Put it down here.”
When I pointed to the wooden board, Lurin became curious, nodded, and put down the bluefin tuna.
Tuna refers to various species of tuna, and if this fish that looks like a bluefin tuna is a species similar to a real bluefin tuna, you can think of it as the most representative tuna sashimi ingredient. Just because it looks similar doesn’t guarantee it will taste the same.
First, I used magic. Blade Onyk is a magic that cuts through anything. I started using the magic blade to fillet the tuna. Remove the blood first. Then use class 2 splash magic to rinse.
Because it uses magic, it is easier than using a knife, but cutting tuna is still very cumbersome and difficult.
After sweating and doing basic cleaning, I first cut out the large belly part of the tuna. Anyway, the belly fat can be said to be the flower of tuna.
Of course, you have to taste it first.
When the belly fat was cut away, the appearance of tuna reminiscent of beef was revealed. Not only does it look the same on the outside, but it also looks the same on the inside.
Lulin squatted down, resting his chin on both hands, and looked at the scene. He looked at my beautiful red belly and asked with a strange expression.
“Is this meat? “The fish are white!”
“yes?”
“Yes! He looks like uncooked meat. “Meat is meat!”
I ignored Rurin for a moment and this time started knitting the gills of the belly fat. It is a part that boasts a beautiful appearance with a mixture of red and white, resembling the marbling of beef. It is a delicacy that comes in only a very small amount per tuna.
I thrust a piece of cut sashimi into Rurin, who was squatting.
“ah! try.”
“Are you just going to eat it? I like your cooking the best! In the past, we always swallowed it raw, but now it’s different!”
“No, this is raw fish, but it’s best to eat it when it’s fresh.”
“Is that so? If you are, then yes. Hi-Hi.”
Lurin nods and opens her mouth wide.
“Aaaah—”
I didn’t even tell you to make a sound?
I put raw fish into his open mouth.
“hey! “Are you even eating my hand?”
He closes his lips with my fingers and crinkles them.
On the side.
Why do you suck other people’s hands?
The heat in Lurin’s mouth rushes to my fingers. Should I say it’s fortunate that I didn’t get bitten?
“Hehehe. “That’s a big deal!”
Your hands are tasteless. It sounds like this. It was so absurd that I forcibly removed my finger. Only then does he start chewing the raw fish.
“you! It melted. “What I just put in my mouth melted!”
He looked so strange that I started to have an appetite. I quickly grabbed a piece of belly fat and ate it. As expected, this guy is a tuna. A tuna-type monster.
Tuna sashimi that melts in your mouth. A storm of savory flavors spreads in your mouth. I can say that this melting texture is amazing.
Lurin is a gourmet. The taste is very refined. If Lurin is delicious, it’s really delicious. I think I’m probably the one who refined Lulin’s tastes.
Anyway, it was nice to just eat it, but it was kind of boring.
I turned over my backpack, which I had left lying on the sand. Although I was on my way to catch a water buffalo, I brought along various seasonings. If I find a strange wild animal, I want to eat it.
Salt, soy sauce and Munton mushroom powder fall out of the backpack. And the pot too. I guess it’s a shame that I couldn’t bring red pepper paste and wasabi. It reminded me of hot pot. Who would have thought I would find tuna?
However, you cannot use teleportation because of wasabi or red pepper paste.
If you use teleport too much, Lurin will get tired and droop. Because the magic of teleportation consumes a huge amount of mana. Of course, since it’s a dragon, 4-5 times is okay, but you need to save it just in case.
So, if you don’t mind, just use soy sauce.
“Lurin, just a little bit of this is delicious.”
I poured a little soy sauce into the pot and started cooking a simple dish. Salt-grilled, lightly cooked, salt-grilled belly meat is created by adding salt to a large cut out portion of the belly meat and frying it in a fireball to add a slightly fiery flavor.
Eating it on its own is a delicacy, but eating it this way gives you a different experience.
At that moment, Lurin, who saw what I was doing, started to travel with the gills that she was holding.
He started imitating me. Out of nowhere, he started adding salt to a small piece of raw fish. With no doubt in his eyes that following me is the way to enjoy food more deliciously.
“Lurin! wait for a sec!”
It’s already late. The raw fish pickled in salt went into Rurin’s mouth.
And after 2 seconds.
“Fuuuut!”
After chewing, he spits out the tuna in my face. Why is it my face? This dragon.
“Ta-ta-ta-da! make!”
I took out a bottle of water from my backpack and handed it over. He drinks half a bottle of bottled water and shakes his shoulders. With your tongue sticking out.
“What is this! I did the same thing as you! Ugh!”
He grumbled while pointing at the salt-grilled belly meat. Of course, I responded to that foolishness with laughter. With ridicule.
Then, he cut off the salt-grilled belly fat and handed it over, and he frowned. I definitely saw salt sprinkled here.
So you’d think this would definitely be cut as well.
“If you don’t like it, don’t do it.”
So I ignored it and put it in my mouth.
The warmth of the surface of the tuna and the melting softness of the inner flesh. I feel two flavors. The salt brings out the savory taste of tuna one step further. Ah, it tastes happy.
Seeing that expression, Lurin opened her mouth.
“Ahhh! me too!”
I guess you’ve removed your doubts. Ugh.
I put it in his mouth and he started chewing it. Still, he hesitated a little because of the shock earlier, but his face soon changed to an ecstatic expression as if he could taste the taste.
In the end, Lurin and I had a tuna feast on the spot.
After tasting it enough, I used wind magic to roughly dry the clothes and spread them out on the sand. It was a meal so delicious that I thought about coming here to catch tuna later.
Of course, the current goal is the water buffalo. Let’s catch the buffalo first and then do this later.
Lurin must have gotten tired from eating and crawled up on top of me, who was lying down. He sits down on my stomach and looks down with a big smile on his face.
“Hehe, you were caught by me.”
“I know… “Can I get out of the way?”
“hate! Oh dear! There’s tuna in my ear! “He always tells me that I’m hit with seven coats of paint!”
“Did you get buried because I wanted to be buried? “It’s because our dragon squirted what he was eating on my face earlier.”
“I don’t remember? That has never happened! But since I’m a good boy, I’ll clean it for you.”
Out of nowhere, the dragon slowly moved towards my face, stuck out its tongue, and started licking my ear.
Then Lurin’s black hair touches the nape of her neck. And the warm feeling of the tongue stimulates the ear. To be exact, it’s the act of licking a tuna fish stuck to an ear, but it’s a little different.
licking.
licking.
A tickling feeling stimulates my body.
Then the dragon suddenly bit my ear.
“Hey! Why are you sucking your ears? All you have to do is clean up the tuna.”
“I said I would like it if you did this… Is it bad? you?”
“It’s that girl again… ?”
Too much useless knowledge was planted. To a pure dragon.
“I do not know. “It was a secret!”
Lurin then lay down on my armpit and started laughing.
Then I look up. cute.
To be honest, at times like this, my desires as a man show up a little. If you ask me if there is affection, it is definitely there. I have no intention of denying that.
Sometimes, when he closes his mouth and falls asleep against me, he is a lovely dragon. There are times when my heart flutters when I just keep my mouth shut.
She is so beautiful that even an elf can run away if she stays still.
But every time that happens, I think about it. I mean her age. Converted to human years, it is 19 years old. She has less than a year left until she becomes an adult. Of course, his actual age is 799 years old. Even with the concept of a dragon, there is less than a year left until it becomes an adult.
There are times when you take everything off and wash it and don’t think anything about it, and there are times, like now, when your mind shakes without you even realizing it.
And then, before I knew it, I fell asleep, noisy. The speed of falling asleep is the best.
I think about this every time. Will something change when she turns 800?
Lulin hugs my waist and tastes me.
“Hmm, dear… .”
It seems like he’s dreaming something.
Then he continues to mutter.
A face that looks happy. When I first met her, it was an expression I couldn’t even imagine.
I also slightly closed my eyes. The sea breeze rustles in the shade of the trees.
The buffalo gets up and catches something.
