Ch 89 — After a Hard Day’s Work, Let’s Deep-fry Some Mincemeat Cakes

First up, we dealt with the Wyverns . . . .

“Sui, can you extract all the blood from the Wyverns?” Since Sui was able to suck up the the pools of Bloody Horn Bull’s blood I thought she’d be able to do that .

“Yes, I can do it-” Sui agreed .

“Wyvern’s blood? What are you going to do?” Fer looked puzzled .

“Well, I think that bleeding the carcasses thoroughly will prevent the meat from rotting or smelling funny, that’s all . ”

“Oh, is that so Aruji-? Sui will suck out all the blood then . ” If I tell them that the meat they’ll be eating will taste better they’re all for it, of course .

A thought occurred to me . “Ah, hold on . Wyverns are poisonous aren’t they? Does that poison have any effect on the blood or meat?”

“Wyvern’s poison isn’t a problem if you watch out for the poison sac in the middle of the tail and the poison needle itself . ” Fer explained . “You won’t contaminate the meat or poison the blood if you’re careful . ”

So that’s how it is . “Sui, there’s a poison sac in the tail so watch out for that . ” I cautioned . “Can you drain all the blood anyway?”

“Yeah, I got it- . ” Sui said as she trembled and burbled . Big Slime? Yep, after she grew in size she split into small Slimes to do the work .

“Everyone, drain the blood of the monsters over there-” Sui ordered the little Slimes . Each of the Slimes headed off to a different Wyvern corpse and latched on to the body’s neck stump . As I watched each transparent Slime gradually turned red as they sucked the Wyverns dry of blood . As each Slime completed its task it dropped off the Wyvern’s neck stump .

“Aruji, all done-” Sui informed me .

“Thanks, Sui . ” I stored the blood-drained Wyverns in my Item Box . I wasn’t sure what to do with the Wyvern heads but I decided to take them back with me so I stored them too . Maybe the Guild would buy them .

Right then, food . As I thought about preparing a meal the smell of Wyvern blood all around distracted me .

“Sui, I’m sorry to ask you but can you suck up the Wyvern blood that’s lying around here?”

“Yeah, easy -” The small Slimes slowly sucked up the blood pooling on the grasslands nearby, leaving the entire area pristine . Great .

“Thank you, Sui . I will make something delicious for you . ”

“Yay! I want to eat now-” Sui bounced happily .

“Nnnn, now is good for me too . ” Fer added .

“Yeah, yeah . ” Now is always a good time for Fer to stuff himself .

Well, I gave some thought as to what to make and decided quickly that deep-frying was the way to go . Eating fried food under the blue sky, yes! I’d make fried mincemeat cakes . I’d buy ingredients from the Net Super but the mincemeat I’d make from what I had to hand . Hmmm, how about some 100% Bloody Horn Bull mincemeat and some 100% Orc General mincemeat as well as a mixture of the two, I thought to myself? Three different flavours, a nice contrast .
