The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 12 (2/2)

「No, I think they just don’t kno to obu」

「They don’t know? Why is that? The ingredients can be found anywhere; don’t adventurers often hunt them?」

The ingredients that could be found anywhere that Basdia was referring to were Goblins and Gobubu grass juice

Gobubu grass was a purple-colored weed known as the Goblins of grass When crushed, it released a purple juice It was a kind of rew in people’s fields, sucking up all the nutrients in the process This rass the natural enemy of farmers

And though it was a h to be used in food and it didn’t have any medicinal uses, so it was quite a problematic plant

Its high rate of reproduction and the dale beneficial use led to it being narass

And everyone knew that Goblin meat smelled terrible and wasn’t particularly edible The saans Goblin blood tasted so bad that if Vandalieu had the choice between drinking Goblin blood and crushed insect juice, he would choose the latter

Such Goblin meat was pickled for a whole day in the juice produced by crushi+ng Gobubu grass This neutralized the s that was neither tasty nor disgusting This Gobu-gobu could be preserved for around a year

「During times e can’t find prey to hunt, we obu」

「It doesn’t take as much time or skill to ency food that you can store But huo so far just to eat Goblin meat」

As Vandalieu said, rather than devising a way of so Goblin meat edible, hu more delicious creatures

「Is that how it is?」

Satisfied with this explanation, or perhaps having given up on trying to understand it, Basdia returned to her task of chopping up Goblin meat that had already had its blood drained with a butcher’s knife She still had to obu with a dozen more Goblins’ worth of meat

Basdia was thethe e wasn’t very high The social status of Ghouls was deteric and number of children birthed for woiven birth to a child yet, so no , she would never be able to rise to the top positions

Vandalieu thought about how the people of Earth would furiously label this way of thinking as discriobu Well, he didn’t have time to complain about the society of Ghouls, ere technically monsters

「I want to hurry and give birth to a child so I can beco Goblins andout to hunt er」

Housework, s, maintenance of the fences that surrounded the houses and villages and such were apparently tasks for Ghouls of low social position, and hunting Goblins and gathering Gobubu grass for obu were included in that

Surprisingly, Ghouls that were able to create weapons and are, even if they eak or had no children

「You want to beco?」

「Yeah I like strong people, so I want to beco」

Basdia looked like a felance, and her personality matched her appearance

「There’s also e to think about」

Basdia had apparently turned twenty-five this year The physical appearance of Ghoul wo until they birthed their first child, so she orrying that her physical age ht double Zadiris’s at this rate

As Vandalieu looked at her looked up at her, he thought that she didn’t need to worry about that

「If you were a little older, Van, I would receive your seed」

「Bugh!」

「What’s wrong, did the Gobu-gobu get stuck in your throat? Are you alright?」

Basdia dropped the butcher’s knife that could decapitate a cow in surprise and raised Vandalieu into the air She had no signs of e on her face

「No, I was just surprised that you said such a ridiculous thing in such an earnest tone」

nobody could bla that she would receive his seed However, Basdia gave a puzzled turn of her head

「According to Mother, when there is a Ghoul wonant, soive his seed in exchange for letting him leave alive Apparently the seed of other races like huher chance to produce a child Human men are cooperative about it, so this is apparently quite successful」

「Well, if their lives are depending on it, I’m sure it’s no surprise that they cooperate」

If anya child, wouldn’t he choose the latter? Not to mention that Ghoul women were exactly like human women other than their skin color and eyes On top of that –

「Ghoul women are all attractive, too」

All of the Ghouls that Vandalieu had seen since yesterday were beautiful If their lives would be saved and they would get to have sex with one of these Ghouls, wouldn’t any man repeatedly shout「YES!」unless they had an incredibly firm sense of virtue or believed in the God Alda?

At the very least, Vandalieu knew that he would do so

「Even from humans’ point of view? I’m happy about that, but that’s impossible for me」

「Why is that?」

「I’m already twenty-five years old In the hu to, once you are past twenty-five years of age, you are ed woman」

As Lay was underdeveloped coin’s, the life expectancy was short There was ic instead, but the only ones who could leave their fates in the hands of es were able to use y

And in this world, producing offspring was an iy was underdeveloped, the driving force in all industries was people People plowed the fields, ht to defend their countries – all of these required the people’s labor

Therefore, it was coe of twenty-five It wasn’t uncoe, but that was because those female adventurers ealthy and had connections, or actually had partners that they weren’t officially married to

Of course, the pregnancy rate for women in this world wasn’t lower than for those of Earth; one could still bear children in their forties, but woed wo them to hurry up and have children

But Basdia had no way of knowing these exact societal circuue stories that she had heard from Ghouls who had eavesdropped on human conversations

「I don’t think it’s so you should worry about too , Basdia-san」

Vandalieu wasn’t particularly knowledgeable about human society either, so he had wondered,「Aren’t the hue too h-school student and only in, it was difficult for hi descendants behind

「I’ that」

As Basdia smiled, she looked truly beautiful and attractive Vandalieu was close to her beautiful skin as she was holding him, and if he was an adolescent, he would probably be unable to help but to stare at the deep cleavage between her breasts

The fact that she could beco only ical differences between Ghouls and humans

「Now that I think about it, I heard froic, Vandalieu Isn’t there a spell that you could use to ive me your seed? I have heard that there is a Life-Attribute spell that can cause the rapid growth of one body part」

「 I think that’s a bit impossible」

However, it seeht He thought about capturing a bandit or adventurer alive and offering him to her next time, but that in itself made him feel uncomfortable

「I see, I ahter asked the impossible of you」

Zadiris, hearing Vandalieu’s story in her own house, lowered her head a little Of course, her daughter producing a child was a reat concern to her as well

「It will take around ten years for you to grow old enough to give her your seed nore, she will be able to wait that long I randchild I am more surprised that you knohat “seed” and such words mean, boy」

「Well, I don’t think it’s that unusual」

Now that Zadiris mentioned it, a nor behind having one’s seed asked for Realizing this, Vandalieu gave a vague explanation He had good iaro and Basdia, but he was still hesitant to tell them about his past lives

「More irandchild? Well, I suppose I understand even without you explaining」

Vandalieu, hearing the pleasured voices ofand wooden walls of the pit dwelling, gave a shrug of his small shoulders

The owners of the voices were Ghouls of the village It seee, and it was coht with multiple members of the opposite sex

This was because of the fact that Ghouls lived in a dangerous Devil’s Nest, the fact that the wonant, and the fact that it was very difficult for the lifespans

If every Ghoul had only one partner, the village couldn’t be maintained

Vandalieu guessed that this was the reason that Zadiris didn’t have a grandchild yet

She had apparently given birth to twodidn’t exist in this world, there was no way to be sure that they were the fathers of any children

In fact, at the banquet yesterday, nobody had introduced their husband, wife, grandchildren or grandparents

「Indeed, that is how it is」

Zadiris didn’t deny it This was how Ghoul society worked

「Well, I knoho Basdia’s father is」

「Who is it?」

「It is Vigaro」

Basdia enty-five years old That iven birth to her At that age, even Ghouls were considered to be very old, and considering the physical burdens, it was unusual for one to produce children at such an age

However, at the tiht Kobolds and drank the alcohol that the Kobolds had stolen from humans

「That alcohol was e I became drunk on it and the next ti and I was in the same bed as him」

「 I see」

It was the story of a conception without a single trace of romance

「You should be wary of alcohol, boy Even if you drink, do not become consumed by the alcohol Now then, shall I teach you the basics of ic?」

Though weakened by her old age, Zadiris was a Ghoul Of course, she couldn’t use Death-Attribute Magic, but the basics that she could teach were likely to be beneficial for Vandalieu

And while Vandalieu was learning the basics of ht how to fight by the Ghoul warriors

Sas around the village Helping with the hunting in the Devil’s Nest gained therowth

And so Vandalieu began his first non-self-taught lessons
