Villager A Wants to Save the Villainess no Matter What! - Chapter 35

Chapter 35 – Villager A sells Orc’s meat in the school festival:-

There were various things related to Amy, so whether it is safe or not will come later, now it was the day of the cultural festival.

The sky is finally whitening. And I’m now in the Great Dungeon of Orcs near Altmunt.

The reason why I came here at such a chilly time is to get the Orc meat that I will dismantle in the cultural festival.

Now, I saw a relatively small orc alone, so to hunt it, I sneaked up and headshot it with Nikov, then hurriedly drained the blood.

I carried the hunted prey as it is and tied it to Buitor with a rope. Then, I took off vertically after starting Buitor and soar into the sky at once with the Orc hanging.

I’m sure it’s a pretty surrealistic sight from the sides, but this is the only way to transport it by air. I had to sacrifice a few things for a greater cause.

It’s autumn now, so the temperature isn’t too high, it’s chilly. If I go over the sky, it’s pretty cold, so I’m hardly worried about the meat rotting. Rather, I’m worried that it’ll freeze.

I flew Buitor at full speed and arrived at the private Lurden Airport after a few hours of flight. Then quickly carried the Orc and rushed to the school.

＊＊＊＊

I hung the hunted Orc in front of my stall. Right now, it’s 10 o’clock. The dismantling show is scheduled to start at 11 o’clock, so until then, it’s for attracting customers.

Immediately after some time, people start gathering around the Orc.

“Hey, what’s that?”

“It’s an Orc meat skewer stall.”

“Isn’t that a monster?”

“It seems to be the food of the commoners.”

“Why is such a thing in this school?”

Since only aristocrats or rich children go to school, a whole orc is quite shocking, it seems.

“I will start the Orc dismantling show from around 11 o’clock. Please come and see it.”

While advertising that, I skewered the Orc loin that I had prepared separately and started grilling it over the charcoal.

Oh, by the way, Orc meat tastes almost the same as pork. Even though they walk on two legs, look wise they are similar to pigs. They don’t exude feelings like human beings. Besides, the meat is good to eat and fetches quite a price when sold along with the fur. So they are considered good prey by the adventurers.

Oh yeah, Although this is extra information, according to a senior adventurer from the rural areas, the dismantling method of pigs is similar to the Orcs.

As Orcs are monsters, a method to convert them to livestock is not possible, so its meat can only be eaten cheaply in and around Altmunt, which is near the Great Dungeon of Orc. And since Orc is rarely seen around the royal capital, eating Orc meat in the royal capital costs more than ten times the price of pork.

In that case, people who bother to eat Orc meat, even though it tastes like pork, are probably quite fond of it.

Well, By the royal capital’s standard, it is high-class Orc meat, but due to this being a cultural festival, I will be selling it for 100 cents per skewer without profit.

On an occasion like this, I don’t have any interest in making money.

Now, the loin meat was cooked and gave off a savoury smell.

I lightly sprinkle salt and pepper on it to adjust the taste, then keep it away from the fire.

“It’s roasted! 100 cents a skewer. How is it?”

However, aside from looking at it from a distance, no one came near. When I saw the meat getting colder, I started grilling the new skewered batch and put the cold meat in my mouth as it is.

Yeah, it’s delicious. Now that I think about it, I was in a hurry and hadn’t eaten anything since morning.

The juiciness of the meat, which tastes like pork, spreads in my mouth.

“Umm, doesn’t it look like he is eating something delicious?”

“Eh, but it’s a monster, is it okay?”

I can hear them whispering.

“Allen, you have started already. Can I have one skewer?”

“Thank you.”

After saying that, when I turned to meet the person, I found Anastasia, along with her semi-long blue hair and blue-eye entourage.

“Anastasia-sama, and um…”

“It’s Margaret. Margaret von Altmunt. I’m fussy about the taste of Orc meat, you know?”

What the! She is the daughter of the lord of Altmunt, where the Great Dungeon of Orcs is located?

“Excuse my rudeness, Margaret-sama. Well, then I will start the Orc meat dismantling show at 11 o’clock. This Orc is very fresh because it was alive until this morning, so I’m sure you will be satisfied.”

“Oh? There shouldn’t be any Orcs around here, right?”

“Yes, but I got it through a secret route. It’s an adventurer’s privilege.”

At this stage, I can’t disclose the fact that I’ve air transported it. What I can do right now is to take advantage of the fact that it’ll have a great impact on society and can start chaos if I use it in war. So I will have to disclose it after thinking it through about the situation.

“Hmm? Is there something like that? Well, it’s fine, oh? That Orc meat, isn’t that of good quality? It’s hardly seen in the royal capital, isn’t it the ‘upper’ rank loin?”

“As expected of Margaret-sama, you have good eyes. This is the ‘upper’ rank Orc meat from Altmunt. I couldn’t prepare the ‘special’ rank, so only the ‘upper’ rank is what I can offer.”

“But then, isn’t 100 cents a skewer too cheap? If someone wanted to eat it in the royal capital, he/she had to pay 10,000 cents to eat it, you know?”

“That’s because it’s the cultural festival. I wanted to make everyone understand the work of adventurers.”

“Is that so? I’m impressed. Then, I might as well get a skewer too.”

“Thank you”

I place the skewer and start to grill. When the fat falls on the charcoal’s fire and makes a gentle noise, a savoury scent drifts around.

Anastasia then speaks loudly to Margaret.

“Margaret, you’re very familiar with Orcs. As expected you are still eating Orc meat in the Altmunt county, aren’t you?”

Margaret responds with a loud voice.

“Yes, of course. It’s a speciality of my Altmunt. I think Orc meat is healthier and tastier than pork. Moreover ‘upper’ rank loin is not easily available in the royal capital. It’s rare after all. There is no loss in eating it.”

After that, the people who were watching the conversation from a distance started ordering alongside them.

“Anastasia-sama and Margaret-sama also, Thank you very much!”

“What are you talking about?”

“We were just talking to each other, you know?”

It seems they are implying to not think much about their conversation. But, no matter how you look at it, they intentionally spoke loudly so that their conversation endorses this meat as nothing suspicious.

In this way, the prepared loin meat was sold out in a blink of an eye.

The orc dismantling show also attracted a large crowd thanks to both of them, and the rest of the orc was sold out without waiting for the end of the cultural festival.
