Amazing Village Building

Chapter 287: Why can’t I eat it today!?

Thanks to the help of Goate-san, we had successfully chopped up the giant sharks body.

Unlike its metal-like scales, its body was surprisingly tender. Also, contrary to what the sharks terrifying appearance might suggest, its meat was light pink and looked so delicious.

First, lets try it as sashimi. Hmm, its fresh, so theres no foul smell at all.

After saying so, Coch-san lightly dipped the thin slice of shark meat he held into some soy sauce and put it into his mouth.

~~~~~~!? Its, its so delicious!!!!

Coch-san shouted so with his eyes wide open.

It has this crispy texture, but the more you chew on it, the more of its sweet juices spread in your mouth! Its so good!

He praised it so highly and then squealed in his delight.

You try it too, chief!

O-okay.

After being strongly encouraged to try it, I also dipped a slice in soy sauce and then ate it.

By the way, the soy sauce was one of the many seasonings that the chefs in the village had recreated based on the memories I had of my previous life.

Youre right! Its really is so good!

It was a sinewy slice, so it wasnt so surprising for it be a bit chewy. However, it also had a good amount of fat within, so, just like Coch-san said, each bite produced more juices in the mouth.

Let me try it too!

Me too!

The chefs raised their hands in succession, each of them asking to be allowed to sample the sharks meat.

Villagers who came to watch the chefs also asked to sample it, but if we let them, there might not be much left to cook. So, for the meantime, only the chefs were given permission.

We have to know what it tastes like in order to make good food!

Right, right!

By the way, I was allowed to taste it because it was apparently part of my privilege as the village chief.

Also, even though he wasnt a chef, Goate-san was also allowed to sample the meat because of his critical contribution to the cooking process.

So gooooooooooooooooooooddd!!

The other chefs exclaimed so.

Ive brought a wyvern today too!

After catching a wyvern, her favorite prey, Dora travelled in high spirits to the human village in the wasteland. However, upon her arrival, she was informed that no one could cook her some wyvern meat for that day.

What do you mean!? Why cant I eat it today!?

The villages chefs have all gathered to cook the shark.

The shark?

Yup. If youre curious about it, how about taking a look for yourself? Its over in the villages plaza.

And so, Dora headed to the mentioned place.

What she saw there was

Wh, what the hell is that!?

it was a fishlike monster of an overall length of about 20 meters lying on the ground as the humans took it apart it little by little.

At that size, it was comparable to Dora when she was in her dragon form.

I dont think Ive seen you before, little girl.

Hyaa!?

Dora was startled when someone suddenly spoke from behind her. When she turned around, she saw a female villager she didnt know standing there.

D-d-dont just call out to someone who has their back to you!

Fufu, sorry for scaring you. But leaving that aside for now, are you curious about that monster? Its quite gigantic, isnt it? Apparently, our hunters have caught it in the sea. And now, our villages chefs have gathered to cook that thing. Im sure the food theyll make will be oh so delicious. *slurp*

~~~!

Upon seeing that villager drool, Dora felt a shiver down her back.

oh my, whats wrong? You look paleare you alright?

I, I, Im fine! Ha, hahaha! *Before I knew it, my guards completely down! This cant go on. If I stay in this village, who knows before they change their mind and think of me as food!?

Dora turned back and made an escape.

Humans really are so scaaaryyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!

On her way out of the village, she vowed never to return there again.

A few days later.

Hmm, Dora? How have you been? Its been a while since you last visited, hasnt it?

Yeah, there were just some things I had to do

I see. Well, you came here to eat, right?

Y-yeah

While nodding, Dora shouted internally.

*I promised myself to never return here, so why did my body bring me back here!?*

As though she could now subsist on nothing but the wyvern cuisines of this village, this dragon girl has grown accustomed to being fed by the humans without her realizing it.
