Chapter 70 Her First Kind Companions (2) (1/2)
Chapter 70 – Her First Kind Co at the entrance wondering if she should enter or not She didn’t expect to witness the dis of the fish The half-cut fish’s body appalled her, so she slowly turned around to leave However before she could take a step to turn away, her eyeshis stiff neck around to stretch it She stood rooted in place The boy waved his hand with a cheerful s, Madam Calypse” Garow called out to her
“Oh, hello Madam!”
Yurixion waved both hands towards her too like a dog wagging its tail She couldn’t just act like she didn’t see both of the,” she greeted theuys as thanks for you telling us that fun story yesterday They are the most delicious fish in the Whedon!” Yurixion excitedly told her gesturing at the fish the were busily slicing up
“Please wait for a et it on the table” said Garow, after cutting off the head of the fish
Max blankly stared at the fish head that rolled onto the floor She could see a tongue sticking out of it, the sight made her lose her appetite
“While we prepare the Oakley, would youus the story about the olves?” Yurixion looked at her expectantly as he busily tended to the fish Garoas beside him seemed to have read the discomfort painted on her face and quickly turned to berate Yurixion
“Mada discomfort from all the blood, let’s not keep her here”
Yurixion gave Garow a look of disbelief, “What are you talking about?! Madaeous wores! She’s the wife of the world’s bravest knight Sir Calypse!”
The boys then looked at her as if expecting to hear her agreeed to squeeze out a smile in response when another fish’s head was cut off and rolled onto the floor again,the floors with its blood She consciously tried to not look at it and replied,“O-Of course T-this is nothing toa chair for the Madaestured for one of the kitchen servants to bring in a chair for Max to sit on
There was no way out now, Max griht She bleakly looked at the chair that the kitchen servant had brought her
It seemed like she needed to immediately come up with a story about the olves while the boys tri like she was about to cry
In the rab and peel the thick and chewy looking skin of the Oakley, removed the fins on its back and stomach, and throw the softly sliced white fillet on the plate The fish’s skeleton was quickly exposed and was set aside to dispose of later He paused in his cutting to proudly share to the group what he kneolves
“I’ve also seen a olf once Its head is a vicious wolf and the body is similar to that of a human And it swiftly jumps around frorinned in satisfaction when he saw his co out theit on the wall of their roo such a vicious thing on their walls? I just can’t understand the northerners’ aesthetic preferences” Garow told them
“Wolves are a symbol of bravery to them” Yurixion simply replied
Max eyed the pinkish flesh of fish fillets stacked on the plate that had now begun to look like a sht seemed to steadily fade as the fish’ forms slowly disappeared
Max shook her head to dishts of the fish and secretly took a deep breath to regain her co a story from her, this is why they wanted her to dine with them They used that fish as bait
Just as she let out a sigh she noticed that Yurixion was looking back at her and iping the water off his hands with a white cloth
“Isn’t it funny that they’re showing off how brave they are by catching and stuffing a puny olf? Reet rid of dozens of olves in a blink of an eye!” Yurixiohed heartily too
“I’ht the to cut the fish in the hair in an atteht olves
Max let out a shaky smile at the two
She had no way around it because she knew they would never be satisfied until she fed their curiosity So, Max started to squeeze out a story with little tears in her eyes
The kids joyfully listened to her, their cheeks flushed with excitement Max concocted a tale where Riftan cut off the heads of three olves in a blink of an eye and where the monsters’ heads poured down like black hail as he advanced towards them Max tried her best to sound enthusiastic and made sure the boys were entertained It seemed that they were because they were enthusiastically listening to her
Max soon slowly forgot about the disco of the fish because of the boys’ reactions towards her story Never in her life did she iine a day where she would joyfully talk in front of so
“Sir, the sauce is ready” The group’s discussion was cut due to the Chef inforress in the kitchen
“Hurry up and cook it then I’ to eat!” Yurixion responded back When that was down his attention was once again casted on Max’ story
As the story was nearing its end, the head chef dumped the trimmed fish meat in a bowl and started toan oil-coated pan and on the other side, he wasa salad with thinly sliced onions and herbs Just like that, Max’s feelings of disgust disappeared, as if they had never existed in the first place and turned into hunger Just as she wrapped up her story the Chef once again infor rilled and served with salad Please wait for a rill the seasoned Oakley on the heated pan
A delicious smell started to spread in the air as the fish cooked with sizzling sounds co from it
They moved to sit comfortably on a table carefully prepared for them by the servants and they sat across each other on the small table They sat at the other side of the kitchen, and despite this distance they could still hear the head chef arguing with one of the kitchen staff that instead of eating frorill tasted the best for the dish
Soon after hearing the slight argu Oakely dish was served before therilled fish and its shted Max
Max reached out for her silver knife and fork and began to slice a s hot fish and tried it
As soon as she popped the fish into her asp The soft meat, full of sweet sauce, melted in her mouth Max’s eyes widened in amazement at its flavor
“It’s de-delicious!” She exclaiht? Nothing can coun cutting his fish and ate their meal happily
It was delicious, Max couldn’t help but exclaim these words in her head each time she took a bite The soft, tender meat didn’t taste much like a fish at all, instead it released sweet juices every time she chewed on it [2]
She had no trouble finishi+ng two large pieces of fish on her plate It seemed she finished them so quickly, the fish disappeared in a heartbeat
Meanwhile, the two boys seemed to have been quicker than her for they had already es of fish
She took another slice and ate it with the crunchy salad
“I-It’s really d-delicious” She told thelad you’re satisfied” Yurixion, who had erinned at her after he told her his reply Then with a proud smile, he said, “Next tiot caught up by his friendly grin and laughed along The goodwill of the two boys ift
“I-I’ll look forward to it, then” She told theet the taste of Grilled Oakley – that was for sure
