Chapter 25 - Former S-class hunter remembers the good old system (1/2)

Former S-class hunter remembers the good old system

The story goes back to the Astowari family’s dining room …

“Leviathan’s egg …”

I heard the request at Rafina’s mansion and moved my eyebrows unintentionally.

I know about Leviathan completely, but I’ve never heard of eggs. I didn’t even know that it would spawn in the first place.

There are many unclear points about the breeding method of monsters. Just whether it was a sea monster or a dragon has not been decided. Breeding methods differ depending on the type of dragon and the monster of the sea.

Rafina first told me that Leviathan had settled in Chichigaga Bay.

That is also a strange story.

Leviathan basically stays away from the land where humans live. No matter how deep Chichigaga Bay is Even if the terrain is not good.

“Actually, Leviathan appeared near the land often according to the history books. Moreover, it was every 100 years …”

“Every 100 years …? No way —-“

“As you might expect, we suspect that this is the cycle of Leviathan’s spawning, and upon closer inspection, this year marks the 100th anniversary of Leviathan’s sightings around the nearest land area.”

“Isn’t it final?”

“Yes, but I think it’s pretty accurate. In fact, about 300 years ago, the folklore of the princess knight who ate Leviathan’s eggs still remains.”

“Have you already eaten it!?”

Olivia raises a crazed voice.

I listened silently, but I was surprised at heart.

That means that there have been monster-eating pioneers for 300 years.

“Yeah … It was very fluffy and chewy. When I heard that, I definitely wanted to eat it.”

“Fluffy …. chewy …”

Olivia makes her eyes shine. Rir on the side was also licking her tongue.

“Actually, the princess knight is a person who is deeply involved with my Astowari family …. I was interested because I read the biography of the knight’s life. Since then, I want to eat it someday. I was secretly investigating. “

Rafina looks up at the ceiling, her eyes shining as if she had returned to her childhood.

“You might think I’m a little girl, but could you help me with my dream and accept my request? Zelet-sama.”

Rafina bowed, shaking her gentle black hair.

Olivia, who was present at the event, was breathtaking.

I’m a commoner, and the one who’s hanging down now is the Duke’s daughter. Those with high status or status rarely bow their heads down. No, it shouldn’t be.

Rafina still bowed and begged

She must have been really prepared.

“The game I just played …”

“A little while ago … Is it a gambling in the garden?”

“That’s right. That game, originally, I should have caught the monsters that are the ingredients.”

“No. I don’t think that was stipulated separately …”

“It wasn’t clearly and clearly instructed, but it could have been inferred from the context. As a result, Miss Rafina captured Bradrabbit and I captured Castle Ant. I’m higher in rank, but as an ingredient. Is inappropriate, so it’s a draw, and the draw is my loss. “

“Then, Zelet-sama. Will you accept the request!”

Finally Rafina stands up.

Just the last dessert was brought in, but the women were surprised to see her excited.

“Oh … but this is the only request I receive.”

“Thank you, Zelet-sama!”

Rafina bows her head. Unlike before, she had a big smile on her face.

“The aristocrats don’t bow their heads. Miss Rafina, you’re an aristocrat. Some people might take advantage of you if you do that. And if I can catch Leviathan’s eggs, I’ve defeated future Leviathan. It doesn’t violate my policy of “defeating S-rank monsters”. “

“Fufufu …”

Olivia laughs.

“What, Olivia?”

“No. I don’t think it’s a bit logical or a little unreasonable.”

She waves her hand to deny. However, it’s the same as I thought.

“In the first place, you can say it honestly. I’m also interested in Leviathan’s eggs.’”

I will not deny it. Certainly I’m interested.

Leviathan Eggs- about their spawning.

In hunting, it’s my policy not to overlook any trivial information about prey. And the spawning of prey is also quite a lot of information. If I miss this opportunity, I won’t know everything about Leviathan.

Yes — it’s all about hunting for prey.

“Let’s talk about the request fee immediately.”

“Here? The sorbet will melt.”

“Don’t they say hit the iron while it’s hot? I want to put it together before Zelet-sama changes his mind.”

Rafina signals the waiter to prepare a check.

She added the amount to it herself.

“How about this?”

A check is offered to me via the waiter

“――――!”
