Chapter 229
「… . . th-this is an incredible spectacle Daichi-dono……」
After finishing his dragnet fishing the beach near the Knight’s Training Camp was covered in fish .
I removed my wood armor as Dianeia pulled an interesting expression .
「Well most of this was automated . 」
After this I had to deal with the things I had caught in my net .
For now I needed to go through and store the stuff like squid that would go bad easily .
Once I did that I could use the power of my water golems to cool it down and help preserve them .
However, my ability to maintain their freshness had a limit…
「… . . while it’s nice that I was able to catch so much, it’s going to be a huge bother to cook all this . 」
Even if it was for the sake of subjugating these troublesome creatures, I had way too much .
There were over a hundred giant aquatic animals lying on the beach .
… . . plus I couldn’t return them to the lake because they would go wild .
That’s why it seemed like making food out of them was the easiest option . I’d have to prep each one and cook them, but even that would be a hassle .
I was wondering how I should deal with all this when I realized .
「Oh . Dianeia, how do you feel about using these fish in a barbecue party to get rid of them?」
It was perfect since there were plenty of people here .
「H-Hm? I take it to mean that you intend to have us use all these fish you caught as the ingredients for the barbecue Daichi-dono?」
「Well yeah, our group can’t finish all this no matter how much we eat right? That’s why I was thinking of sharing it with everyone here . 」
There were plenty of knights around us and I assumed there was also a number of adventurers who had come over to help .
Everyone together should number over a hundred so it was perfect . Everyone would be able to get at least one .
「I-I suppose so……it might be difficult for everyone to eat even one of these huge fish but…… . the knights should be able to manage it . I think this number of people can do it…… . what do you think Knight Captain?」
Dianeia called out to the nearby Knight Captain .
After hearing what I was proposing he responded earnestly .
「Yes, there shouldn’t be any problems . In fact thanks to how much we had to move our bodies today we need to eat plenty of food to recover our energy . It’d be greatly helpful if you would do this since it would save us the cost of food . Thank you very much Daichi-sama . 」
「No don’t worry about it . It’s simply providing some of the goods we won’t be able to use . I’m just wondering… . if we have enough iron plates to cook them?」
If not then it wouldn’t matter how many people we had . The Knight Captain glanced back at the training camp location and nodded .
「That shouldn’t be an issue . We have plenty of large iron plates . They’re large enough to fit an entire giant fish so there’s no problem!」
「Well that’s a relief . 」
「Yes, usually we carry them while running to train our bodies, but they can be used for cooking as well! I’ll ask the cooking unit to clean them up properly!!」
I see . Then leaving aside their usual use, we had the equipment we needed .
「Okay there shouldn’t be any more issues then . 」
With the huge iron plates we could do some assembly-line cooking .
We just need to cook them and plate them .
「Alright, then let’s start gathering for real…… . Golems! Pick up the speed~」
After solving our cooking problem I immediately had the golems pick up the pace .
Suddenly all the golems that had been following me peacefully other than the cooling ones had a glow in their eyes .
「——!」
As they moved to follow my orders the approached the fish, laid them on their sides, and grabbed the center of their foreheads .
—Snap Crackle Pop—
Loud sounds echoed out as it seemed that after the fish increased in size their bone structure became thicker as well . But even so the golems’ physical power allowed them to easily deal with the fish .
However, there was just a little problem…
「… . . uwaaa, this is pretty grotesque . 」
The golems were now covered in blood and fish bits after they dealt with them .
「Woah seriously… . . ? The scales that broke my sword ended up getting torn off with just their arm strength… . !」
「Th-that power is ridiculous . They dealt with these creatures so easily… . are these really golems? Aren’t they monsters instead!?」
「As expected of Boss Daichi’s soldiers…… . 」
The knights paled as they watched .
「D-Daichi-dono… . th-this is even a bit frightening for me . 」
Dianeia was drawing back as well .
… . certainly this wasn’t a pleasant view . It felt like a splatter film .
But you couldn’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs .
「Well what are you guys doing just staring? I’ve prepared them and drained the blood so get started with the cooking . 」
「Y-yeah got it! Now’s not the time to just sit around watching! Men of the Knight Order I know you’re tired but give it one more go! Get the preparations in order so you can eat some delicious food!」
「R-roger that Princess!」
And so near the end of our vacation we began a last minute grand feast .
