Chapter 168

Hwareureuk-!

Taking out firewood packed through Bokkeum and lighting fire. Soon small campfire completing, laying iron plate on that and placing seafoods.

Chwaaak!

Pouring oil once sizzle sizzle delicious sound heard. Soon starting to stir-fry brought tomato, carrot, eggplant, paprika, potato etc together.

Seafood vegetable iron plate stir-fry!

Unknown seafoods also but all fine eating with confidence.

[Gluttony’s oyster]

[Gluttony’s scallop]

[Gluttony’s clam]

[Gluttony’s abalone]

[Gluttony’s crab]

[Gluttony’s shrimp]

Etc.

Even same seafoods divided into item and not. Exactly like my crops.

But important the point of confirming safe to eat.

For example even if item crab and not item crab existing confirmed already fine eating with item crab so able to eat with confidence.

Anyway same crab.

‘...But later problem not arising with rough naming?’

Names displayed as question mark me just arbitrarily named. No relation.

“Ooo.”

-Kkyuing.

Ara and Suo looking at foods heating on iron plate with amazing expression. In the meantime me placing the pre-trimmed giant gizzard shad fillet in the middle of iron plate.

Chwaaaak!

Sizzle sizzle sizzle.

Soon scooping iron plate’s oil with spoon and pouring on fish. Light and savory scent starting to spread all around.

“Gulp.”

Without knowing swallowing saliva.

Looking only at visual really amazing?

Tak!

Soon clams Ara collected starting to open mouth. Roughly finished sand removal but for now taking out the first ripened oyster separately.

Bubble bubble.

Oyster soup contained in oyster shell faintly boiling. Inside white and taut oyster appropriately ripened shining wanting to bring to mouth right away.

“Suo first.”

-Kkyuing?

When me picking oyster with chopsticks Ara yielding.

“Me already ate a lot!”

Ara chewing even with shell during collecting. Ara able to eat whatever literally swimming the sea like fish meeting water and eating.

“But this Suo able to eat?”

“Heum!”

Ara also wearing deeply worrying expression and looking at Suo. Suo looking at such us just tilting then soon opening mouth aa!

The oyster shaking taut picked with chopsticks entering Suo’s mouth. Scene of medicinal herb eating oyster... extremely rare.

Chew chew.

Suo unexpectedly eating oyster without anything. Then largely nodding body and appealing delicious.

-Kkyuit!

“Delicious!”

Ara widely smiling and cheering.

Suo also seeming able to eat food well not just not eaten.

Me immediately placing new oysters Ara collected in the empty place of iron plate. Iron plate also extremely large size but thinking of Ara and slimes seeming have to move without rest.

Sizzle sizzle.

Me placing seafoods or vegetables seeming all ripened separately on plate. Then kids starting to eat deliciously on own.

“Uuum~!”

Ara smiling covering cheeks with satisfied expression.

Slimes also seeming excited bouncing body every time eating.

Meong meong already quite satisfied appearance because me specially slicing giant gizzard shad’s sashimi and directly giving.

“Grilling much more delicious!”

“Yes? Fortunate.”

“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong also aa~!”

Unique shape clam flesh pierced on Ara’s fork entering my mouth.

Me quickly receiving and tasting chewy clam flesh. Probably the seafood me named Gluttony’s clam.

‘Um, good.’

Plump flesh having chewing taste and juice overflowing seafood’s unique refreshing flavor.

Compared to Earth’s seafoods possessing much richer taste and scent. If person liking seafood eating just dying?

Plus accompanying my crops as palate cleanser.

Wrapping clam flesh in well ripened carrot and paprika and eating taste unable to be happier than this.

All ripened two hand size abalone also cutting into easy to eat size and serving on plate. Me also picking one piece and eating feeling intense chewiness different from clam.

Nuttiness felt every time chewing bonus.

“Suo, aa~!”

-Kkyuing.

Ara before I knew it doing older sister role thoroughly. Just born baby like Suo receiving as Ara handing and drawing happy smile.

-Kkyuing.

“Full? Suo unable to eat much.”

Regrettable. From now the real.

Scooping crustacean of similar shape to red ripened shrimp. And enduring heat and peeling shell.

“Kreu.”

Red shrimp flesh revealing when peeling shell.

Steam fully coming out but sticky something looking like innards fully stuck.

Looking at that appearance naturally stomach hurting and clamoring. Eat that right away!

“Ara, aa~!”

“Aa!”

But enduring with tremendous patience and handing to Ara. Anyway shrimp also over 10 and still many to eat.

Lick!

Ara swallowing even my finger in one bite then closing eyes and savoring whether feeling the texture of popping shrimp flesh.

“Delicious?”

“...”

Unusually Ara no words.

Ara quietly chewing mouth hard while silent briefly then even after eating all quietly as if savoring taste then soon standing with a bang.

“Catching more.”

Solemn voice.

Me glimpsing the sincerity contained inside and troubled smiling and stopping Ara.

“For now eat all existing first, Ara.”

“Too delicious.”

Ara speaking with still serious tone funny yet cute.

Me quickly laying shrimp in the empty place of iron plate and soon serving well ripened crab to Ara.

“Similar taste coming.”

“Indeed grilled more delicious!”

People liking eating as sashimi also but anyway Ara’s preference seeming cooked side.

Indeed, shrimp or crab’s innards extremely sticky and creamy taste if cooked. Me also quickly eat one?

But gradually main cuisine completing.

Giant gizzard shad grill.

Actually thought eating as sashimi but Ara’s case always eating only raw obvious so decided to grill like frying and eat.

Actually cuisine unable to fail.

Nothing no taste frying in oil. Moreover not just oil but oil mixed my crops and various seafoods’ essence so that flavor more deep.

“Fish steak complete!”

Golden grilled exterior too appetizing looking. Sprinkling embergrill the herb on top and soon cutting along the grain tearing exactly like chicken.

Feeling exactly like meat not fish.

With amazing thought placing the cut fish steak on plate. Fish divided into three equal parts emitting deep smell as much as giant size.

Drip! Duuk!

“...”

Ara opening mouth and drooling.

That appearance too pitiful feeling and urging to eat quickly.

“Ara, fine eating!”

“Wi, will eat!”

Words also strange.

Fish divided into three equal parts one piece to Ara, one piece to slimes, one piece to Meong meong.

Me? Me fine grilling again.

Slightly looking back still 12 pieces of giant fish fillet remaining.

“Uuuuum!!”

Hearing Ara’s voice and turning head again Ara flowing tears of joy with happy expression visible.

“Th, that delicious?”

First seeing appearance of Ara shedding tears a bit.

Ara instead of answering piercing one lump of giant fish with fork and running trotting to me.

“Uuum!”

Me putting fish in mouth at the fork handing while still chewing mouth.

Chillingly approaching complex flavor.

Dominant scent the deep stock scent hard to believe fish. Soon following crustacean’s scent and vegetables’ flavor. Finally embergrill’s clean smell.

Soon chewing meat,

Chwaaak!

Juice pouring exactly like cherry tomato bursting. No, this not juice but exactly like soup cuisine.

‘How such taste...’

Cooking with iron plate seeming god’s move.

Intense taste festival degree body tingling, soon the taut fish flesh seeming to push teeth every time chewing softly scattering and ravaging mouth.

Soup and finely broken fish flesh mixing and dancing in mouth. Hard to come to senses at the gizzard shad’s dance repeating every time chewing.

“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong! Eat like this too!”

Ara piercing the stir-fried vegetables together with fish with fork and handing to me. Me feeling the texture in mouth softly disappearing before I knew it and bringing face to the vegetable fish combination Ara handing.

“Nyam!”

Aaa...

Here sea? No, sea right!

Before I knew it able to confirm tears flowing. Sea water flowing from my eyes!

“De, delicious. Heuk.”

“Hehehe. Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong crybaby.”

Not saying such words after wiping your tears first, Ara?

We widely smiling looking at each other’s faces flowing tears. And starting to enjoy fish steak again.

Eating together with clam or abalone, eating with shrimp and crab, eating together even on sea urchin roe.

Vegetables essential. My crops delicious even just eating but compatibility with other materials also excellent.

Mindlessly grilling and cooking and eating before I knew it those many seafoods and vegetables disappearing.

“Kkueuk.”

Ara patting the bulging belly and smiling satisfied. Meong meong and other slimes also resting languidly with expression of feasting until belly bursting after a long time.

Me? Me also sitting patting belly same beside Ara. Suo already fallen asleep with food coma long ago.

‘Always satisfying meal but today all-time best.’

Have to request Ara a bit more seafood collecting before leaving. Wanting to take and feed other kids or people too.

Before I knew it giant gizzard shad only head part and bones remaining visible. Even looking so still ingredients able to boil.

‘Fish giving without sparing.’

That degree fish able to make soup extracting stock from bones, head also able to eat as cuisine like braised.

Me forcibly raising body seeming belly full to bursting and starting to pitch tent. Hammock bonus.

Lighting stove using the campfire remaining embers and hugging the dozing Ara and already sleeping Suo.

Laying in sleeping bag inside tent Ara falling asleep as is. Soon wriggling together with Suo and exhaling sound sleep.

Today also substantial day. See tomorrow, kids.

“Not seeming particularly intending to hide.”

“To begin with ability unable to hide. So rather seeming openly revealing. Saying don’t touch carelessly.”

Two days since entering Korea.

Two suspicious figures confirming report.

“By the way amazing even looking again. Look at this crazy growth indicator.”

What they examining information related to Ara Hongryeon. And they able to grasp the substance and supply source of buff items to some degree.

“Production amount may more than our expectation.”

“Heum, for now go directly and confirm.”

Another figures dispatched from European Union.

They awakeners active in the Union’s shade. External identity awakeners came from America for tourism.

“Just grade 1 awakener hard to believe. Thanks to that work easier.”

“May attached escort in Ara Hongryeon. Just in case better you first scout with transparency ability.”

And they not knowing.

Terrifying existence not working transparency or poison attached beside Lee Gyuseong thought just grade 1 awakener.
