Buying Meat
‘So little!’
‘That’s not enough!’
As expected, the slimes made their opinions known.
Yes. It really wasn’t enough.
…It would cost a lot less to have them eat leaves, but these guys have started to develop a taste for fine dining…
They started to request meat more often, and it seemed like they wanted more every time.
I was a little worried that they would eat too much and grow fat.
“Are you from a large household, mister?”
As I scanned the shelves, the butcher called to me.
It seemed like he had heard my comment.
“Ah. Yeah. I have some really hungry monsters.”
“Oh, so you’re a Tamer. …Then what about about an Eagle Wolf?”
“An Eagle Wolf?”
“A wolf monster. As they are very large, there is a lot to eat. …Though, the flesh is hard and the smell is quite strong…making it difficult to use… But I hear monsters prefer it that way.”
I see.
Perhaps they were perfect for monster food.
“And do you have a lot of Eagle Wolf meat in stock?”
“Yes. If you buy a lot, I’ll give you a discount!”
The butcher said as he pulled out a large slab of meat from behind the counter.
…There was no fat at all on it..
It really did not look that good.
“…I don’t know if my monsters will take to it yet. Can I just have a little first?”
“Of course! How about 1000 cicols for a kilogram?”
“I’ll take it.”
“Thank you!”
And so he cut off a kilogram and handed it to me.
It was quite a lot for ‘just a little.’ But it was cheap.
‘It’s meat!’
‘Yay! Meat!’
The slimes cheered and tried to take the meat from me.
It did not look good to me…but I guess the slimes thought differently.
‘…It might not taste too great, all right?’
‘That’s fine!’
‘Give it here!’
‘…Fine. Let me know how it tastes like.’
I said as I gave the meat to the slime on my shoulder.
And then, the slime swallowed it without a moment’s hesitation…then it raised its voice with joy.
‘It’s so good!’
‘This meat is delicious!’
Apparently, they liked it after all.
If I bought a lot of this, I wouldn’t have to worry about food for the slimes for a while.
“How many kilos of this do you have?”
“Uh… About 2,000 kilos.”
“That’s quite a lot.”
2,000 kilos… It seemed like more than what you could possibly sell in this town. He only had a few kilos of the other meats. So why was there so much of this stuff?
“There just happened to be a few hunting quests that finished, and I bought all of the meat from them. …Even the guild has trouble selling so much disgusting meat. So I buy this stuff from them and earn their gratitude. That way, they’re more likely to give me the good meat later on.”
“…But can you really sell off 2,000 kilos of this meat?”
“Of course not. I was going to sell it as fertilizer… So I’m quite thankful I was able to get rid of it as meat.”
Right.
So you could use it as fertilizer.
Using meat as fertilizer seemed like a huge waste to me… I guess it showed just how bad the meat was.
Well, the slimes seemed to enjoy it, so I’d be happy as long as I could get it for cheap.
“How much for for those 2,000 kilos?”
“All of it!? …Let me see…if you’ll take all of it, then it should be about 700,000 cicols…but do you really mean it?”
“Yeah. Is this enough?”
I said as I handed him the money.
He looked at it with surprise.
“You must be really rich, mister. …I’d be glad if you’d take it off my hands…but you do realize how much it is, right? Are you sure?”
“Yeah. I have a lot of monsters.”
“…I don’t want to imagine how many… But how will you take it? Do you have a storehouse somewhere?”
Yeah.
I guess 2,000 kilos was enough to need that much storage space.
…Well, it hardly mattered when I had Slime Storage.
“No, I’ll have the slimes carry it. …Just tell me where the meat is kept, and I’ll take it away myself.”
“Sl…slimes?”
“Yeah. I have a special skill.”
“…Well, just look at my storehouse then. Do you really know how much 2,000 kilos is?”
He said as he gestured for me to follow him.
He was going to take me to the storehouse.
