Chapter 6 (2/2)

「Um~, is it the orc standing over there?」

In front of us was an obviously different orc amongst all of the orcs.

Normally, orc’s skin is yellow, but this orc’s skin was black. And his size was twice the size of regular orc’s bodies.

「Mm, that’s the orc king. It’s just as strong as a c.o.c.katrice. Impossible to run away.」

It really seemed like h.e.l.l after that.

To start with, once the orc king appeared, all the orcs showed up and started attacking us.

As expected of Sara, the numbers got her blood pumping. Even so, she never got a single scratch. However, the situation only got worse as we were outnumbered.

And now, in front of my eyes is that orc king brandis.h.i.+ng an axe.

「Kio! &h.e.l.lip; KUH」

Sara-san was surrounded by many orcs and could not move.

The axe was swung at me. Without thinking, I closed my eyes and guarded.

CLANG!!

However, no matter how much time pa.s.sed, the blow never came. I timidly opened my eyes.

The orc king’s axe was broken and his eyes rounded as he stood about.

「What?」

I began pressing myself repeatedly to confirm that my body was okay, and relief came.

「Sara-san! This is an awkward question but can you eat orcs?」

「&h.e.l.lip;Yep, orcs have a nice fatty flavor&h.e.l.lip;」

I understand now. Orcs are food! *TL: NO DUH.

I looked at the orc king and the corners of my mouth formed a smile.

「Ei*!」

*TL: People say this while hitting or fighting

I aimed my spear at the orc king’s heart. A plain stab with no technique. The orc king died without even a response.

At this point, you can understand without even a word.

Since I am invincible against orcs (ingredients) I instantly killed all the orcs around Sara-san.

「&h.e.l.lip; No way, the orc king has too much fat, knives can’t get through. To get it in one thrust&h.e.l.lip;」

Anyhow, we were safe and I was able to get some ingredients so we headed back to the Order.

「You’re late, Kio.」

The one who spoke to us was the Vice Captain.

「We were attacked by an orc king.」

「What! You said orc king! Are you okay!?」

「Yes, but」

「I don’t understand why, but Kio was beaten black and blue by goblins but somehow instantly killed the orc king. All my common sense has crumbled.」

The leader then says,

「Well, it’s because it’s Kio.」

Just those words.

At any rate, everyone was hungry so I had to make something.

Let’s make that!

I cut up the orc king’s meat. Score the meat. Use the back of the knife to pound it, shape, sprinkle salt and pepper.

Dip the pork in weak flour. Shake off the excess weak flower. After that, dip it in beaten eggs.

Place the meat on the panko*, and then put the surrounding panko on top. Then brush off the excess panko.

*TL: j.a.panese style breadcrumbs

Now once more, repeat the process. For the coating to stick, leave it alone for at least 10 minutes.

There’s a lot to do so it’s difficult! But it’s because food should be delicious!

Put it in the oil, take it out when it is slightly light brown. Once it’s out, turn off the fire.

Fry it twice. Put the meat in the oil which is a little higher in temperature than before, and take it out when it is a good light brown color.

Garnish the finished tonkatsu* with finely chopped cabbage and tomatoes.

*TL: Google this wonderful pork cutlet. So hungry.

「It’s done!!」

I really wanted to make katsudon*, but we don’t have rice.

*TL: tonkatsu on top of rice topped with egg and soy sauce YUM

「Mm, such a nice smell.」

「Ah, Sara-san. I’ve finished, can you call everyone, oh, everyone’s already here.」

「Of course, if you hear that wonderful frying sound, we would end up coming!」

The food was distributed to everyone.

「Etto, I made something called tonkatsu today. The name is katsu, so I thought it would be a good omen* and made it.」

TL: *Katsu also means win in j.a.panese, hence, good omen.

「Now, let’s say thank you for our ingredients&h.e.l.lip; itadakimasu.」

「「Itadakimasu!!」」

「Wooahh! It’s crispy-!」

「Mm, yummy&h.e.l.lip;」

「H- hey. We still haven’t heard what this meat is&h.e.l.lip;」

「Yes, this is an orc king.」

「&h.e.l.lip; I won’t say anything anymore. Even if you say that you beat the most calamitous monsters to cook&h.e.l.lip; 」
