65 Episode 65: The Flavour of Wings and the Guardian Saint of the Forest (1/2)

Before us there was a giant demon who had lost his neck.

The body of Bahamut, a demon that had dominated the precious hunting grounds of people living on empty islands for decades, lay.

”Oh, I didn't know you were going to defeat that horrible Lord of Morijima...”

”That's Lord Rex.”

The knights praise me for defeating Bahamut. [M]

”No, no, thanks to disposable magic items. And...”

”And what is it?

”No, the only thing that could easily be defeated is that this Bahamut was small.”

”Huh?”

Mr. Carm and the others will look like Kyotons.

”Is this the small one?

”Yeah, because Bahamut's adults are Zara over 40m long. This Bahamut is small because it's around 20m. You didn't have enough food... maybe it's a child”

”Ko, this is the child!?”

”The demon that has tormented us is a child!?”

The knights round their eyes and stare at the body of Bahamut, who has lost his neck.

”Nevertheless, I've already defeated you, so it doesn't matter if you're an adult or a child”

I can't take care of the knights who have become anxious. [M]

The battle is over.

”Come on, there 'll still be a lot of demons on this Morijima, so let's be efficient.”

”Huh? Didn't you crusade a ton of demons earlier?

That's what Mr. Carm says as he points to the remains of the demon he just blew up.

”No, it was some of the demons on this island that knocked you down. Morishima is quite large, too. There will still be many demons left.”

Yes, Morijima is huge.

The exploratory magic reaction showed that it was part of a demon nesting on this island that had just been defeated.

Morishima is not a very unscrupulous crusade simply because it is a land of grace for valuable food.

So it will take a long time to crusade all the demons hidden in Morijima.

”Then leave the remaining demon crusades to our Knights!

”To Mr. Carm and the others?

”Yeah, we couldn't take Morijima back because this Bahamut was there. But if Bahamut becomes this man, there will be no more blocking us.”

After years of suffering from food shortages, Mr. Carm and his team were motivated by the defeat of Bahamut, which was the biggest obstacle.

”We can't leave it to our guests until we get rid of the groceries.”

”And some magic items have been repaired by Lord Rex.”

The knights stick their spears up to heaven to show their will.

Well, if that's what you're gonna say, I'll take care of it.

”Okay. I'll take care of it.”

”Yeah, I'll take care of it!

”Have you forgotten to say that the rest of you are kings? Or have you forgotten the rest?

Oh, I totally forgot about the Sky King.

The knights are gone, too. Be the face to do it.

”Ha ha, no such thing, Your Majesty.”

It would be great if Mr. Carm were to forgive the Sky King as if nothing had happened.

”Is that true? You really wouldn't have forgotten the rest, would you?

”Well, then, shall we collect the bodies of Bahamut and demons and go home?”

”Right. Most of the demon bodies were blown up, but we need to recover the safe material.”

Yeah, speaking of disposable magic items, they helped defeat the demons, but in the sense of stuffed materials, they're useless.

Somehow, I blew up most of the demons.

Well, still, the majority of the bodies in Bahamut remain, so it'll be money.

And I thought...

”Cu!”

”” Ah. ”

What a moffmoff was eating Bahamut feathers.

”This is Moffmoff! You can't eat on your own!

”Ahhh, you're eating other demons too”

If you look, the feathers of the demonic corpses that were scattered all around you are also twisted.

Maybe you like feathers?

If you think it's pretty quiet, you're a total helpless guy.

”Cuffoon!”

Don't shake your tail happily.

You can't chew sweetly and sweeten it!

”These guys, even I get angry when I get angry! Wow! I leaked my dick!? He can't help it at all.”

◆

Huh!?

What is this? What is this?!? It's so delicious!?

... Cohon.

I am the king of demons at the apex of every demon.

I was savoring the demons that were defeated by my Lord.

The opponent was quite strong, but he seemed to lack the strength to deal with the Lord.

Of course it's my opponent.

But don't you want to blow your head off and take it down or something, Egg?

And I'm supposed to be mealtime while the Lord talks to the featherless human being.

'Cause I'm hungry.

That's why I eat from my feathers.

The taste of demonic meat can be seen by the taste of feathers.

I can already smell my appetite.

That's why I'll take it!

Huh!? Uhm! Uhma!

It's so delicious!

Return to the opening remarks for this reason.

This demonic feather was very delicious.

The gravy comes out juicy when you chew.

Blood and gravy spread in your mouth and your teeth are excellent.

Exquisite balance without being too hard or soft.

And the fat gave me a slight sweetness, a joy I never get bored with.

Modestly, it is excellent.

Ah, my God!

But the beauty of this demonic meat wasn't just the flavor.

This demonic flesh is full of good quality aromatic magic, and every time I eat that flesh, my body is filled with magic.

I can feel the power of a storm blowing through my body!

Oh, here it is.

This is what the ruler eats.

Surely meat mixed with grass and nuts prepared by the Lord is also good. Soft and lots of flavors are fun.

Dessert fruits are delicious too.

But this is still it.

My beast instinct was for a life I had just hunted.

Most importantly, your meat. Wow!

Ha-ha-ha! Eating magical and bloody flesh, gaining new power, and awoken by a dreaded wild instinct, fear me, but good!

Ham ham...... gazigazi......

... Me, I love the rice the Lord made me, don't you?

Oh, shit, different voice than usual.

I pinch, hey, seriously pinch.

Cholo cholo cholo ~.

I'm not bad, Mon.

◆

”It's tough!

That was when I was collecting Mohumov's toothed Bahamut and checking for any remaining demonic material.

A knight who changed his blood from an empty island flew in.

”What is it!?”

Mr. Carm is here. Get out in front of the knight.

”The western village has been attacked by demons!

”What!?”

”We left the number of people needed to defend the castle and the people on standby went out, but Morishima's crusaders were assigned personnel, so we thought we'd have a hand in evacuating the villagers.”

”Have you overmanned Morijima's crusade... no reflection later. Your Majesty, our Knights are on their way to the west village rescue!

”Ugh, um. I'll take care of it. It's Calm. And Bahamut has crusaded, and the rest will return to the castle. The Kingsguard will return to the castle with the rest. The protection of the castle is too thin as it is. Morishima's demon crusade will take place at a later date.”

”” ”” Ha!

”Sky Knights out!

”Ohhhhhhhhh”

The Knights rise in the sky with Mr. Carm's decree.
