Chapter 94 – Bear-san Participates In The Festival

Now that I was alone, I decided to go back to where the Kraken was.
The Kraken was lying on the sand.
No matter how I looked at it, it was a giant squid.
The question was, could we really eat it?
Well, this world’s ecosystem was different from Earth’s, so it should be edible.
Still, eating the worm, which was just lying near the Kraken, would be absolutely impossible.
I had no interest in eating worms or larvae. Even if you said that I didn’t know what it tasted like without trying it, I would never eat it.

While I waited by myself, three carriages arrived.
The carriages couldn’t move on the sandy beach, of course, so they stopped halfway.
Grandpa Kuro got off the carriages, together with some other men.

「Missy, you are here already.」

Grandpa Kuro approached me.

「You gathered a lot of men.」

「We want to finish dismantling it quickly, so we can go enjoy the seafood festival.」

Grandpa Kuro shouted orders to the men, so that they would start the preparations for dismantling.
The men responded loudly, and headed towards the Kraken.
When they moved past me, midway to the Kraken,

「Thank you.」

They gave their appreciation.
It was a bit embarrassing.
Since the Kraken was huge, the men separated into three different groups and started doing different tasks.
Grandpa Kuro was giving out precise orders. The men listened to the orders and dismantled the monster. It seemed that grandpa Kuro really was a respected person.
While I was watching them work, more carriages arrived.
The people who got down from them were Atora-san and the people from the Adventurer’s Guild.

「Compared to your bears, the carriages are really slow.」

Atora-san complained while approaching me.
Please don’t compare my bears to simple horses.
No matter how you looked at it, the bears were faster!
That was common sense, you know.

「Yuna, is it really okay for us to dismantle the worm?」

「You can sell it, eat it, or do whatever you want with it. But, you absolutely aren’t allowed to put it inside my food. If you do it, even as a joke, I won’t react mildly.」

「No way, I would never pull a prank that could take my life.」

「Still, is that strange thing really edible?」

「Dunno. I just heard that from other people, after all.」

「Atora-san, if someone wanted to make you eat it, you wouldn’t resist?」

「Not really. I really can’t understand the reason why Yuna-chan would hate it so much.」

So, it was food culture shock…
Thinking about it, which side did Fina stand on?
If possible, I would prefer it if she was on my side.

Atora-san and the other guild employees joined in on dismantling the worm.
Were they used to doing it? They took out their knives and started dismantling it quickly.
After I had moved a bit further away and was watching the two groups dismantle the beasts, Ranya-san arrived, bringing the women with her.

「I saw it yesterday, but looking at it up close, it really is huge.」

「Ranya-san, will you help with dismantling it as well?」

「I am not as good as an expert, but a Kraken is just a big squid, isn’t it? Anybody raised in this city should be able to do it. Still, I lack the experience to help with this one.」
