CHAPTER 24 – GIANT DEER ACTUAL EATING
「O〜i, Fer, the sun has fallen, so let’s go camping around here today」
When I called out while being shaken in Fer’s back, Fer stopped his steps .
『Umu, let’s eat . I am hungry』
Yes yes, you let me ride on your back today after all .
I’ll bring out meat, Fer’s favorite .
If that is so, I should bring out something that you’d really feel like you’re eating meat .
If it’s like that, this one might be good .
I took out the Giant Deer’s meat from my item box .
Giant Deer, literally a huge deer-like monster .
Actually, I have once eaten deer before .
A senpai co-worker received fresh meat from his relative that is in a hunting group, so I was treated to eat it in senpai’s house .
According to that relative in the hunting group, deer meat is eaten best by making it a steak, so senpai made some deer meat steak .
Deer meat has the image of being tough and has some distinct taste, but it was very different when I ate it .
Although it’s chewy, it’s not hard, but it didn’t have a distinct taste and it was delicious .
This Giant Deer meat is similar to the deer meat that I ate in senpai’s house because it has a red meat that has low fat so I might be able to make it .
I’m thinking of copying what senpai made and make a Giant Deer steak .
First, I put small cuts on the Giant Deer meat that I divided, and pounded it with the back of the knife .
Deer meat has a lot of fiber so pounded it and cutting it would make it a soft and juicy meat .
After that, I sprinkled salt and pepper on the Giant Deer’s meat and let it sit for a while .
After a while, I melted butter in the frying pan and begin to fry the Giant Deer meat .
When the both sides had fried color, it’s finished .
「Fer, here it is」
I served the Giant Deer Steak to Fer .
Well then, I shall eat it as well .
*MoguMogu*…………ohh! So good〜 .
It doesn’t have a distinct taste and is decently chewy, the more I chew it, the more meat juice it releases .
It doesn’t have a strong flavor so I can eat it all that I want .
『Seconds』
It looks like Fer also felt it was delicious and immediately asked for seconds .
I fried the additional Giant Deer meat .
The taste of the next one……*Ja〜n*, it’s the classic steak with soy sauce .
I really think that it’s this when it comes to steaks .
It looks like Fer liked it as well .
First, I made it with garlic, the one that Fer said he likes the best .
『*HaguHagu*……umu, umu, it is delicious』
After that, I made it in the order of daikon-oroshi flavor, onion flavor, and butter flavor .
I also ate an additional onion flavored steak .
It doesn’t have a persisting taste so I ate another one .
『Giant Deer tastes good eaten like this huh』
Well, he probably usually ate it raw after all .
Japanese food companies are great, really .
Even so, the Giant Deer’s meat tasted greater than I expected .
*Burp*……it was so tasty so I couldn’t help but eat too much .
Although it was smaller compared to those I made for Fer, eating two pieces of steak is too much after all huh .
Well then, after finishing cleaning the cooking utensils, preparing for bed is next .
To prepare the bed, first, I placed laid out cardboard .
It’s the cardboard that comes out when I buy things in the Net Super .
I have understood, it is wrong to place futon directly on the ground .
I placed it directly on the ground without thinking very well at first, so the moisture in the futon that I bought was terrible .
It would be great if there were slat foundations, but well, those aren’t sold after all in Net Supers right .
And so, I thought of things that I should lay down under the futon, and “Ahh, there’s the cardboard box”, I thought .
The cardboard boxes increases every time I buy things in Net Super, but they were completely trash up until then .
As trash, together with the bags where the food ingredients that I bought in Net Super are placed, they were placed deep within my Item Box .
However, laying the cardboard like this and placing the futon on top of it, there isn’t a lot of moisture absorbed, and it doesn’t get dirty .
It is the good utilization of the cardboard box .
It’s eco, it’s eco .
『Oi, prepare my bed as well』
Alrighty〜 .
Seeing me sleeping on the futon, Fer said『That looks good . Prepare mine as well』, asking me, and I couldn’t help but buy it in the end, yes .
It’s uncomfortable with just me sleeping on the futon, and it’s also Fer who’s earning money after all .
That’s why, well, I don’t mind, but Fer’s body is huge so could only buy three futons .
On top of the cardboard, I laid down three futons for Fer’s use .
「Fer, I finished making your bed」
『Umu』
*Goron*, Fer laid on the side on the futon .
It looks like he’s sleepy after getting full .
『Kuaa〜』
Look, the legendary magic beast is making a huge yawn .
「Just make sure you make a barrier before you sleep okay」
『I got it……I made it . I sleep now』
Saying that, Fer immediately started to sound asleep .
「So quick! You slept already huh . Well then, I should sleep as well」
I can sleep without worries thanks to the Fer’s barrier .
I slept deeply on MY futon .
Tomorrow is finally the town of Rautel .
Fer said something like we’d reach it before lunch .
It would be great, if we could enter it peacefully though……
