Meat Is Delicious.

It was a bit late, but let's say I'll pay the information fee.

Even Leona has the right to rest comfortably. Protecting that is another duty of the Founder of Beddhism. I promised to take Soto in for one day after things were done.

"Don't go plotting anything bad, alright? If you do that, I won't be able to take her in ever again."

"Forgive me for doing a little alchemy as a hobby. I prefer to be the one stirring rather than the one being stirred."

"As long as it doesn't cause trouble for us or the village, it's fine. Promise me that much."

"Understood."

Now then, aside from that, about the resurrection spell…

…

Can't Leona use resurrection magic?

"Hey Leona. Can you revive the dead? Humans not related to the dungeon I mean."

"I can, but my method uses the Authority of Chaos so you can't imitate it."

So you can do it. Or rather, what is this Authority of Chaos… oh right, you were the Chaos God.

"That's right. I'll make you a scroll of the resurrection magic [Resurrection]. That should be enough to muddy the waters? Though it's actually just recovery magic that has a slight effect on corpses; it won't bring them back to life unless the soul is present as a prerequisite."

"That's generous. Is a total of one week of freedom enough for the reward?"

"Deal. But I ask for a continuous week. If it's a total of 7 days, my free time ends up a bit… well. It's also actually a ritual magic like [Teleport], but you should barely be able to use it."

By the way, when I glanced at the catalog, a 'Scroll of Resurrection' was 200 million DP. Getting it just for letting Soto stay away from Leona for a week is too good a deal.

She can make anything with [Super Alchemy], so she probably doesn't care about DP. She's not called the Chaos God for nothing.

"Narikin. I've been able to get the First Saintess to teach me [Resurrection]. I don't know if it'll work for all this, but you should learn it too. I don't know if you have enough mana though."

"… Master. How should I be surprised here? I'm past astonishment… err, I'm about to lap it for the third time."

RokufaRokuko tapped his shoulder.

"I'll tell you something good, Narikin. The people of the Holy Kingdom probably think the same about you."

"What!? I have absolutely no self-awareness of that though… I see. So that is how it feels."

I feel pretty much the same way about you, so we're even. I won't say it for the sake of my dignity as a master though.

Really, for you to be on the verge of becoming the Pope…

Then, I sensed someone coming to the room.

Footsteps stopped in front of the room and a knock sounded.

"Narikin-sama, I heard you were here."

"Is that Lady Alka? Come in."

After making eye contact with us, Narikin invited Alka in.

"Narikin-sama. I investigated a little about reviving the dead and found something, so I thought I would share the information."

"Oh! I am grateful. We were just investigating that as well."

"Is that so, I hope this helps."

Saying that, Alka took out an old-looking scroll.

It wasn't a spell scroll, but looked like a simple record book.

"According to this record, there used to be a resurrection ritual magic. It was Legendary-tier and there were almost no users, and because of the massive consumption, it died out without being passed down via oral instruction."

"I see. So there is such a magic… let's investigate it. Ah, we actually just saw a prospect of learning a magic called [Resurrection] on our end here."

"…"

"Hm?"

Narikin, what Alka is talking about is probably that same [Resurrection].

Have a little mercy… no, never mind. It's Alka after all.

"N-nothing, well. As expected of Narikin-sama."

"? Okay?"

"Saintess Alka. Aside from that, can't you release us already?"

"Kyou-sama, that is… um, I apologize."

When I told her 'Hurry up and release us' like a complaint, the Saintess apologized quietly.

Well, she doesn't have the authority so it can't be helped. We are terrorists after all.

"However, I have prepared good food for Kobold-chan. Here, it is the Minotaur Steak that Narikin-sama requested. There is enough for everyone, please."

The Saintess took the steaks out of [Storage] and placed them on the table.

As Narikin ordered, plenty of sauce and no onions. They must have been put in [Storage] right after grilling as the fat on them was sizzling. The smell of grilled meat spread through the room.

Kobold'sNiku's portion is in a deep pet food bowl. She hesitated a little whether to put it on the floor or the table, but put it on the table for now and left it to Narikin.

"Oh my, that looks delicious."

"Oi oi, is this okay? For the Church of the Light God, I mean. Are even the clergy allowed to be corrupt meat-eaters?"

"? One should eat the meat of defeated enemies as much as possible. Ah, there is sauce with onions for everyone except Kobold-chan, please help yourselves."

… I see, the idea that eating meat makes you a corrupt monk is a Japanese sensibility. Come to think of it, the Church of the Light God allows polygamy. Not even joking.

Also, this Saintess spent a lot of money at our inn and lived dissolutely.

"Wan!"

Then, the Niku-possessed Kobold barked happily in front of the steak. Her tail is wagging.

She sat at the table where the steak was placed, put on a napkin, and held a knife and fork.

She glanced at me.

"Wait, wait."

"… Slurp"

"…"

"… Whine"

"Now!"

"Wan!"

She pierced the meat with the fork and put it all in her mouth in one bite without using the knife.

It seems it cooled down moderately while waiting, so she is chewing it hagu hagu without getting burned.

"Hoh. That is a strangely cultured Kobold. And she listens well to what Kyou-sama says. She seems well-trained. The knife seemed meaningless though."

"Cute, right? Now, let's eat too."

RokufaRokuko also starts eating steak.

"Gulp!? Whine…"

"Oh my, are you worried about starting to eat first? It's fine, fufufu."

RokufaRokuko pat her while wiping her mouth which had oil and sauce on it. So fluffy.

"Oh, Kyou isn't eating?"

"… Yeah. It wouldn't be strange if there was poison in it. I'll eat my own food so we don't get wiped out."

It would be suspicious if everyone ate it readily, so I took a sandwich out of [Storage] and ate it. Yeah, Kinue-san's sandwiches are delicious.

I glanced at Saintess Alka, but she didn't seem particularly offended.

"Then shall we give Kyou-sama's portion to Kobold-chan? Even if she doesn't eat it now, it will stay warm if put in [Storage]."

"Wan!"

"Fufu, cute."

KoboldNiku was wagging her tail at the Saintess… Seems the meat was delicious.

… Is this that NTR thing…? Just kidding. I'll feed her actual body a hamburg steak when we get back, so just wait, okay?
