Skill? Nee yo Sonnamon! Chapter 273

Fantasy Romance First Taste

 

"Ah~~ Hiyoko you're so fluffy~~~"

『Cluck...』

"...Fluff fluff..."

"M-me too! I wanna fluff fluff too!"

『C, cluck, cluuck!』


Post the sparring sessions, we were all lying down all beaten up so I decided to heal myself with Hiyoko who had evolved into Golden Cock the other day.
Hiyoko is as big as an ostrich now, boasting a superb feel to the touch. I had no idea this wonderful cushion existed in this world.
Alma and Reina got lured into lying on this raw futon as well. Hiyoko protested at all the weight.


"Ah, it's the best. This is on a whole other class than some low grade cushion."

"It's so soft, and warm."

"It's been getting a bit chilly lately too. Well the training warms you up real fast though."

『Cluck! Cluuuck!』

"Oh don't be like that. It's important to experience some skinships every once in a while. Besides, you're gonna get smaller in another evolution, gotta make use of this chance while it lasts."

"Eh, Hiyoko won't get bigger with the next evolution?"

"Yeah. The next one is Platinum Cock, a normal chicken-sized magic beast with a platinum colored feather. Hiyoko's parent was like that."

<<Hiyoko has met the conditions to evolve into 'Platinum Cock' as well as 'Rage Cock', and 'Night Fowl'.>>

"Eh, whazzat. What's going on?
Did the options increase cause Hiyoko got specific Titles or Skills?

<<Affirmative. As for the detail, Rage Cock is bigger size-wise, with greatly bolstered STR, DEF, and HP, however AGI, DEX and INT do not rise as much. Night Fowl is around the size of Meadow Cock, with higher AGI and DEX than Platinum Cock, and low STR and DEF.>>

...Neither sounds that compelling. Rage Cock especially, even bigger than this is gonna make Hiyoko an easy target.
Night Fowl having important stats like STR and DEF low is a bit... Guess Platinum Cock is the safe choice here, it's fast as heck already anyway.
Hiyoko could probably get more options if it obtain more Skills and Titles but there's the time constraint to consider.
Well, there should be plenty of room for growth, just gotta chip at it little by little.


『Cluaaack!!』


...Either way, we shouldn't get overzealous with making Hiyoko a cushion.
That thought crossed my mind as we all got blown away by an enraged 'Qi Path Open'-buffed Hiyoko.



Tonight we're having a steak party to commemorate Alma's first hit on Alma Mama.
I was just wondering the best time to feast on that meat, and this occasion fit right in.

I took a thick block of meat and sliced between lean and fat meat.
I heated up Mountain Bull's tallow on a frying pan before putting in the meat.

Then I dripped in a blend of beef tallow and butter oil I had in Item Screen into the pan little by little.
This is kinda cheating in a way but I'm gonna use everything in my disposal. It's handy and all.
Once the color changed to a nice brown on both sides, I sprinkled in a bit of salt and pepper and took it off the heat.

I let the cooked meat rest for 2-3 minutes and the steak is done.
I'll be serving it with stir-fried cabbage and rock onion as garnish and nutrition balance.

The meat by itself should be flavorful enough but I've also added pre-made sauce.
Chopped Rock Onion with red wine, soy sauce, sugar, lemon juice, grated garlic and a little bit of water.

I also prepared aro rice and white bread to pick freely.
Can't have me decide all the time. Though nobody seems to mind.


"It's done. Help me carry them in."

"Hawawawawa, t-that's real super thick slices of steak...!"

"...Extra, vagant."

『Pii...!』


Everybody seemed a bit bewildered at the grand feast before them.
Must be cause steak has this image of being a rich folk's food... Right?

Alma's parents look calm, they must have inferred what meat is it.
Well, it's these two after all, they're probably used to eat so much of this stuff, they're tired of it already.


"Mwu, this aroma... Must be, that meat eh?"

"Yes. The tail meat of 'Black Dragon' I cut off around a week ago."

"Dragon's, meat...!?"

"Eh, this is the tail of that super scary Black Dragon!? Hiee...!!"

"...Huh? Haven't you eaten dragon already, Alma?"

"Mom and dad treated me to one when I was smaller, but that's it... I still remember how incredibly tasty it was even now."

"Ufufu, Alma-chan was going all bubbly saying yummy yummy, you wouldn't see her acting like that ever again. It sure takes me back~."


Fumu, it was tasty enough to get an overreaction from a young Alma huh.
I can't wait to have a taste myself, let's get to it already.


"To celebrate Alma's first hit, as much as I loathe to do it, let's not forget to thank Black Dragon for tendering the meat, bon appetite."

""""Bon Appetite.""""

『Pi.』

"...You're not even trying to hide your anger at Black Dragon..."


I am grateful for the meat.
But that's a separate matter. I'm gonna beat it up one day.


It's finally the time to eat dragon meat. Yay, drum stick, roll.
Oh, it's chewy yet so easy to slice with a knife. The texture gotta feel nice in the mouth.
Well then, bite, chew chew, and...


~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!

[News Flash] it's a, K.O.


I quietly struck my lap with my palms before I realized what I was doing.
It's too good.
Way too good.
I have no word for it, only that reaction.

Even the Crimson Scale we had back then has nothing against this.
I can probably eat three servings of this easily even with zero flavoring.

Strong umami coming out with every bite, the wild game taste of a punch that doesn't stink at all, the juiciness that lacks any hint of dryness are all violating the inside of my mouth mercilessly.


It's beyond, no, unlike anything I could have expected.


"...So delicious."

"Wau...!"

"I-I have no more regret in life...!"

『Pihii...!』

"Hahahahaa! You got the exact reaction we had when we tasted our first dragon. Sure takes me back."

"Fufu, you all look like you're on cloud nine."


This meat probably tastes like heavens no matter how you cook it.
And yet the sauce only adds to the flavor without subtracting anything from the meat. It's such a flexible flavor.

...I'll say my heartfelt thanks to Black Dragon just once for this. Thanks for the treat.
Let me fetch more of your meat, thank you.



"...I'm in heaven."

"What a bliss... Ehehehe..."

『Pi...』

"Umu, that Black Dragon's meat is as tasty as you would expect from a high level dragon."

"My, that's not all you know? The way it's cooked as well as the exquisite control of heat and flavoring and the sauce combine so well. You have my thanks for the treat, Hikaru-san."


You're welcome. I'm glad they all look satisfied.
...I wanna eat more dragon meat someday. No, I'm absolutely gonna make it happen. Eating so much it's gonna pop my belly open.


"Sure would be nice if we could have dragon meat for Alma-chan's birthday too."

"...To that end, I have to get strong enough to defeat Black Dragon."

"Are you still mad with it?"

"...Yea."


I might be being too obstinate, but I seriously can't forgive Black Dragon and its handler for causing harm to Alma.
I'mma tear off more meat off Black Dragon from end to end and make a rag cloth out of his handler's arm. Tremble in your sleep.


"Ah, my bad. It's your celebration party and all and I've made the mood awkward."

"...I didn't land that hit on mom through my power alone."


Alma suddenly gripped my hands and spoke.
Eh ...Eh?


"I'm only here because dad taught me on swordsmanship, mom on magic, Hikaru on magic swords, direct control and Reina and Hiyoko coming to my rescue. I want you to depend on me more as your strength."

"O, ou?"

"So please ask me anything if you need my help. If you're having trouble coming up with a way to get stronger, let's think about it together. If you want to beat Black Dragon, let me fight alongside you. Haven't I been telling you, don't hold it in to yourself."

"Y, yup..."


Ah, is she cheering me up because I was feeling down from failing to hit Alma Papa?
...Well, it's true that's been weighing my mind, but I didn't expect her to go at this so strongly. She might be thinking about it harder than me.

Heck, how long are you gonna keep gripping my hands.
I'm kinda happy, but also embarrassed, my face is burning up up up up...!


"Ara ara, ufufu."

"Ahem...!"


Alma Mama looked at us warmly while Alma Papa forced a cough.
Don't look here. I'm begging you look away. Please.
