Episode 50.10 (2/2)
”But of course. An especially tasty kind at that.”
Lecan was referring to Petitfire Dragon meat. Lecan's <Storage> has a great variety of meat inside, but it's gotta be the dragon's one for lady Rubianafale. Fortunately, there's still a lot of meat he got from Dungeon Rotor on month nine. And since he got it processed right at Rotor, it's pretty much fresh.
Led by the House Aide of the Northern Tower, young man Pein Osasim, Lecan got down to the first floor. Peine called the kitchen head, the cooks, maid and page then they went to the food warehouse. It was the room Lecan teleported into earlier. Lecan put all the foodstuff out. The employees received it while raising shouts of joy.
”T-there's still more? What is going on with that <Box> of yours anyway.”
Peine could only stare in amazement once Lecan took out all the foodstuff he got from Eda.
”M-my goodness. With this much food, we can last another month, no, even longer than that even.”
”Peine. Where should I put the meat?”
”We have received much jerky already.”

”Not jerky, fresh meat.”
”Fresh meat, is it. I would have liked to leave it in the cold warehouse, but we do not have any more magic stone to spare as it stands. We will have to cook it right away. It may last for a bit longer mixed with herbs however.”
”Magic stones? Speaking of, it's dim inside this tower. You guys saving on magic stones or something?”
”Yes. All the remaining magic stones must be put to <Guardian Wall> use. And even that's already...”
”I've got lots of magic stones.”
Lecan grabbed four <Boxes> full of medium magic stones and two <Boxes> full of large ones.
”One of these got about 200 magic stones inside. Take them.”
Peine's eyes popped open when he grabbed some magic stones inside the <Box>.
”A-are you sure we could use these?”
”Go ahead and use 'em all. I've still got lots.”
”Please excuse me as I go report to his highness.”
Peine carefully carried the magic stone <Boxes> as he left the food warehouse in a hurry.
Calling a son of a townlord 'highness' is a bit of an exaggeration, but it's probably a habit left from Holy Yufu Kingdom's era.
”You must be the kitchen head.”
”Yes. My name is Suruten.”
”Grill this meat.”
Lecan took two huge lumps of Petitfire Dragon's meat. They're carefully wrapped.
”This much should be enough for everybody including you guys.”
”Will it be all right for us to have some as well?”
”Yea.”
”Thank you very much.”
Afterward, it was a huge merrymaking.
Dazzling lights filled the entire tower as the scents of grilled vegetables and meat wafted in the air.
First-class wines were brought out, then after an introduction from close aides, the feast began.
Lecan was given a seat as well.
”I've had dinner already. I'll just have a little bit of the grilled meat.”
Lecan's seat is near the entrance, at the opposite end of Ashidgrein and lady Rubianafale.
He drank his wine with meat as snack. Every single soul in the tower were focused on carrying food into their mouth.
