8 08 "Lets grow Jack Or Lantern 2" (2/2)

”Eh! It's awesome awesome! I'm wondering if you would be willing to deal in these jack-o-lanterns at our house?

Hmmm. It's true that even if you raise a demon, there is currently no way to cook it, so I'd be very grateful for the money and food offered to such eateries, but the reason why Lily went out of her way to introduce this place is not just because she knows Mina, who runs this place, but also because she is acquainted with her.

I'm sure it's not just because I know Mina who runs this place. The price of demons has risen dramatically, and because of that the quality of the food has been declining. So I was wondering if Mina could help me out, if it's okay with you?

Then, in a whisper, he explains the situation to me.

I see...that's what I'm saying. I'd much rather help a girl in trouble.

I understand. That's fine. I'll give you as many demons as you want that I've raised.

”Really?! Thank you! In the meantime, let's talk about payment: ......

Yeah, we'll talk about it later, but for now. But for now.

””Make me a jack-o'-lantern dish!

I was quite hungry and Lily's voice hummed beautifully.

[Jack-o'-lantern soup with killer wolf]

Pumpkin demon jack-o-lantern soup slow-cooked until it turns to juice.

The soup is rich and sweet. It is sweeter and more delicious than earthly pumpkins.

The stew is made by stewing the skin in a pot with the meat of a forest-killed killer wolf.

It's like a pumpkin, not a meat and potatoes dish. The flavor is quite rich, and the sweetness of the melted lantern is a perfect match for the meat.

The meat of the wolves in this world tasted rather like pork. Lanterns, not pumpkins, taste pretty good together.

Well, it was good. But when did you collect the meat from the killer wolf?

Basic adventurer's principle. Most of those beastly demons, with the exception of a few, can be eaten, so you have to collect what you can take with you.

I see. But now I can finally get some perspective on my otherworldly life! At this rate, I will grow, cook, and sell all kinds of evil things, and I will be the best demon grower in this world!

”You say things that make no sense sometimes. What's another world?

But the moment I returned home, the unexpected scene was waiting for me.

Hey, brother. You're home now? Too late.

...... Yeah, it looks like someone was waiting for me to come home.

No, someone's a funny thing. What's that, right?

By the way, brother. You're the reason I'm here in the first place, thanks to you.

Yes, I think I forgot to pick one of them during the harvest.

It was hiding behind the grass. Well, if you've grown pumpkins, you'll know that these things grow on the ground with branches all over the place.

And the grasses growing out of them are so big that they hide the pumpkins.

And the pumpkins or lanterns of this world? The leaves are twice as big and the branches twice as long as the earth ones. That's an oversight.

Well, what I'm trying to say is. There's a fully self-aware jack-o-lantern attached to a branch, floating around, looking at you, welcoming you home.

Anyway, brother. What do you think? Would you like to eat me?

Moreover, they have been appealing to me to eat something.
