Chapter.3 Chicken and Palenque

When you come to the market, first buy vegetables and head to the butcher shop. This route usually changes very little.

However, today I felt a little different. I will soon be a butcher, but when I think about yesterday, I burst out laughing. That was Mr. Knoll’s embarrassed face.

So, as soon as I arrived at the butcher shop and came face to face with Mr. Knoll, I smiled and made fun of my mouth.

“hello. Mr. Knoll is crying.”

“What’s wrong? “You bastard!”

“Are you embarrassed?”

“Don’t be ridiculous! I’ve never cried! “Eight, close the business!”

“Fold something!”

Mr. Raine pulled Mr. Knoll’s hair.

“LC, are you here?”

“yes.”

“no! I won’t sell to that guy! Oh my hair! head!”

Mr. Knoll’s head is pulled harder as he yells at me. Ms. Laine laughed as she ripped her husband’s hair without mercy.

“Don’t listen to this guy’s nonsense. Despite this, I am grateful.”

“When did I!”

“Haha then, please give me some Uba sirloin.”

“Uva sirloin? I’ll take care of it right away. Ho Ho.”

Mr. Laine smiled and went inside. I asked Mr. Knoll a question out of curiosity.

“Is there any Palenque?”

Palenque and Palenque’s eggs. So you need the chicken and the egg. Especially since eggs are such a useful item.

“Palenque? Do you need Palenque?”

“I think it would be good in many ways. Especially the one who was caught alive.”

To obtain eggs, a Palenque caught alive is perfect.

“Alive? It can’t be there, right? Are you crazy? “If I could catch a quick monster like Palenque alive and distribute it, I would have already become rich.”

“So you’re saying there are slaughtered Palenques?”

“No, that’s… .”

“Mr. Knoll, is this a different story?”

“What dude?”

“What did you say when you first came here? What if I could cook something worthy of my own meat? “Can I get any meat?”

“Hum hum Raine! what?”

Mr. Knoll closed his mouth and went inside, looking for Mr. Laine, even without calling. Well, it’s true that it’s crazy to look for Palenque at a butcher shop. Falen Q is rare because it is difficult to catch. I heard that people who have tasted it call it legendary. So there is no need to openly market it.

Of course, this doesn’t mean there are no chickens or eggs in this world. Palen cue is most similar to chicken, and there are many birds that are used as food ingredients. The most outstanding among them is Palenque.

“LC. Uva sirloin. “Is this right?”

“yes.”

As expected, Uba is bright pink. I nodded and paid.

“thank you.”

“We are more grateful.”

Mr. Laine bows his head. I bought everything and was about to leave, when Mr. Knoll came out in a hurry. So I stopped walking. Because it seemed like I had some business to do.

“That Palenque! “I heard there was a story about a sighting in Limon Forest on the outskirts of the city?”

“In Limon Forest?”

“Are you sure. “This is information obtained from mercenaries.”

“okay. Are you sure?”

“Yes, if you have any more information, let me know.”

Mr. Knoll said that and scratched his head.

“Oh, how blunt.”

Mr. Laine shakes his head. I’ll do anything for you no matter what. Not a bad person. Would you say I have a shy personality?

I said my goodbyes and walked back up the hill to the restaurant. Thanks to Mr. Layne’s recommendation, customers come here occasionally. But mostly in the evening. I don’t remember ever having a good lunch business. And today, as expected, the restaurant is empty.

Since it’s like this, I guess I should go to Limon Forest to find Palenque and eggs.

Once you have decided, you must act immediately. I ran up to the second floor.

“Gororolong gororolong.”

The sun was high in the sky and I jumped onto the dragon’s bed, which didn’t seem to want to get up.

“What the hell!”

“wake up! “What happens when you wake up in the morning?”

I feel anxious.

So, after confirming that her eyes were open, I gently lifted Lurin into my princess arms. Then he shakes his feet and struggles.

“Isn’t it because you didn’t sleep last night? too much!”

“Don’t say anything that will misunderstand if someone hears it, and just wash your face.”

Who was the one who slept like that during the day and then made a fuss at night saying he couldn’t sleep and asked to play? I picked up the black dragon and sat it on the floor. Then, after wrapping me in a towel, I washed my face with water from a bowl.

“Now blow your nose.”

“Hung!”

After wiping his white face, blowing his nose, and rinsing him with a towel, he picked up the dragon with a dazed look on his face again and sat him on the bed. If you leave him to wash by himself, it will take him all day.

I can’t help it because it’s urgent.

And put clothes on top of your pajamas. Brush quickly.

I completed a series of actions that would normally take quite some time in an instant, and Lurin looked at me with a puzzled expression.

“What is this?”

“Whatever this is or that is not important. Falen Q is flying now! “Don’t you want to eat something different?”

“Unusual cuisine?”

“A dish that goes well with beer.”

“Oh, is there such a thing? I want to eat.”

I was half-asleep and had a dazed look on my face, but as soon as I heard that it was a dish that goes well with beer, stars came into my eyes.

“If you want to eat, get up right now.”

I said this while fixing my hair, and the dragon looked up at me. And spread his arms.

“Hug me.”

“what?”

“If you hug me, I will wake up.”

“Why are you pampered?”

“I haven’t made a fuss these days. “During the old war, they often told me to cheer up!”

“Yay yea I understand. okay.”

I gently hugged Lulin and then pulled away. Then he raises his black eyebrows and shouts.

“lack!”

With a look that says it’s too dry. So, as I wanted, I hugged Lulin’s body very vigorously.

Very tight!

A soft body comes to me. I feel something cozy.

“Hi-Hi. “I feel like I’m waking up a bit!”

“Are you satisfied?”

“what are you talking about! You have to do it all day long to be completely satisfied! “If you do it for a year, you will be completely satisfied!”

“… … one year?”

Nod. Lulin nods strongly.

“Stop being funny and come out. “I’m going to Rike Forest.”

“Ugh? “I’m not satisfied yet!”

Whether I was satisfied or not, I got away from Rulin’s body and went down to the first floor. I hear the sound of chasing behind me.

***

Limon Forest is a forest on the outskirts of the hill where I live.

Specifically, when you go over the hill, there is a stream, and beyond the stream you can see a bamboo forest. That bamboo forest is called Limon Forest.

Since you usually have to pass through the Limon Forest to get to the northern city, it is presumed that one of the mercenaries who regularly pass through this place may have spotted Palenque.

“Why did you come here?”

Lurin tilted her head as she looked around the forest. There doesn’t seem to be much inspiration for bamboo.

“I came to get the ingredients for the dish I mentioned earlier.”

“Hoo!”

It was only after I told him about cooking that the dragon, which was faithful to its instincts, started drooling.

“We have to catch a monster called Palenque.”

“Palenque?”

Lulin tilted his head again. It seems like this is my first time hearing it.

“I don’t know?”

“There is no way I would know about such insignificant monsters. Among dragons, I am…”

“Yes, yes, I understand. all right.”

“Ugh!”

I covered my mouth with my hand and dragged myself deeper inside.

Deukdeuk!

Then, a scene of several Palenques flying in the sky above the bamboo forest comes into view.

“That’s it!”

When I released my hand and shouted, Rulin also found Palenque and opened his mouth.

“Oh that one?”

After all, it is a chicken. flying chicken. The reason it is called a monster is probably because its attack power is far superior to that of chickens. And it was so fast. Of course, I knew this information in advance. So I brought Lulin.

I am a combat wizard.

And thanks to the Dragon Lord’s heart, that magic was maximized.

The concept of wizards here each has their own specialty.

Magic for battle.

This is what I learned.

And magic for research. It is a discipline that studies various special magics, starting with alchemy.

In my case, I am a practical person who learned magic for combat.

Therefore, it is very easy to burn all of this forest.

However, if you want to catch small monsters like that one at a time, and if you want to catch them alive, Lulin is the best choice.

There is no need for Palenque, which has been reduced to ashes.

“Please drop that flying Palenque!”

“Can I just kill them all?”

“No, just one. “I’ve never tried it before, so you can taste it and decide.”

“That’s easy.”

Lurin glared very strongly at one Palenque. Palen Q, who was flying wildly, glanced at Rurin as if he felt the deadly force.

“Kyuuuuu!”

It made a strange cry and immediately fell to the ground. Then his body trembled and he fainted, foaming at the mouth.

This is the Dragon’s Fear.

A powerful ability that can stun or kill you just by looking at it. There is nothing like Dragon Fear to obtain ingredients without harm.

Absolute power that is usually hidden by disguising itself as a human being.

A dragon is a dragon, and I would be like that if I didn’t eat the dragon heart.

“How do you feel?”

“Good job. good job.”

He ran over and grabbed the trembling Palenque by the neck and immediately broke it. It’s the same as chicken. The care method will be the same.

I guess I was in a good mood, so I pushed Lurin’s back and returned to the restaurant. Lurin went straight to the refrigerator, took out a beer, and sat down in front of Palenque like a puppy wagging its tail.

“Now you’re saying that if I eat beer and this guy, it’s delicious?”

“It’s not. I have to cook. wait.”

“Is that so? “But first, just one can.”

Lurin opened a can of beer and started gulping it down. It expresses its deliciousness by shaking its body.

I’ve done enough work today, so let’s see.

After leaving the dragon unattended, I began cutting the chicken into pieces. Usually, wild chicken is so tough that your teeth will break out, but it is difficult to eat, but Palanque looked different.

What I was worried about was the toughness of the chicken, but it is easier to cut with a knife than the chicken sold in modern supermarkets.

After easily cutting the palen cue into pieces, I cut it here and there with a knife and mixed it with pepper and salt. Fried Palanque. In other words, this is the most basic task in making chicken.

Then spread the minced garlic evenly and mix well. It is no exaggeration to say that the combination of garlic and chicken is fantastic.

Then pour in milk and leave to marinate. This is to remove unpleasant odors. Usually, modern chicken restaurants use a mixture of dry powder mix, seasoning, MSG, etc., but I use my own method.

Prepare flour and frying powder here. This is a modern summon.

After mixing the frying powder, mix in the corn flour. The ratio is just my impression, but I think a good ratio is around 3:1:0.5.

Usually powder is added, but I use powdered monton mushrooms. These monton mushrooms are the magic powder of this era.

Preparations are almost complete. For the rest, I just hope the chicken itself is delicious.

After drinking a beer, I covered the blanket to the sleeping dragon, who was drowsily snoring again, and then I took a rest. Dragons sleep too much. Well, it’s not that I don’t understand, since dragons usually have periods of sleeping periodically for hundreds of years.

Anyway, it was a peaceful time.

Apart from the customers who don’t come.

So it was evening. As the sun begins to set, a beautiful sunset appears towards the restaurant. It was because of this view that a restaurant was built here.

Business doesn’t have to be good. I just want a restaurant where one or two regulars come and share a friendly relationship. That’s why I don’t like the crowded market.

While I was looking at the red sky and thinking about frying some marinated chicken, or rather Palenque, a customer appeared.

A face I saw only yesterday. It was clearly Mr. Ment, a mercenary.

“Aren’t you Mr. Ment?”

“you’re right. “The alcohol I drank at that time hit my taste buds, so I came back again. Haha.”
