Ch 115 — The Taste of Venom Tarantula . . .

After parting company with Rodolpho-san at the Adventurer’s Guild we left the town of Claire and headed swiftly towards the Dungeon City of Doran .

As usual I was on Fer’s back with Sui in her bag hanging from my shoulder while Dora-chan flew beside us, easily keeping up with Fer’s incredible pace . It seemed Dora-chan’s boast of being able to fly very quickly was not an idle one . After a while it started to get dark so I decided we should set up camp for the night and of course that meant dinner .

I wanted to check what I had ready to eat in my Item Box, hmmm . . . there was rice still hot from cooking and yes, the hamburgers made from Bloody Horn Bull and Orc General meat were in there too . That would make dinner simple, it would be Hawaiian style Loco Moco burgers .

First I bought eggs, lettuce, cucumber and cherry tomatoes at Net Super since I wanted veggies to go with the greasy main course . I chopped the lettuce up roughly, cut the cucumber in thin slanted slices and halved the cherry tomatoes . The eggs I fried sunny-side up, counting the portions out — Fer and Sui would have three hamburgers so they’d each get three fried eggs . I estimated that Dora-chan would be good with two hamburgers going by what I had seen her eat previously so she got two eggs .

I put the hamburgers on dishes of white rice and then added the fried eggs with the raw salad veggies arranged around the side . I put out some mayonnaise to add if anyone wanted it but I left it off to start with .

“Dinner’s ready!” I announced . Fer, Sui and Dora-chan all arrived in a rush . “Here it is, eat up . ” I said, putting the dishes down in front of them . “I’ll mix it together a bit for you . ” It’s a bit messy doing that but they couldn’t use utensils so stirring everything up in the bowl makes it easier for them to eat .

“Can I eat it now?” Dora-chan asked impatiently, wings buzzing .

“Here you go . ” The Three Gluttons begin to eat .

“Tastes good, doesn’t it? The veggies are nice and crunchy . ” Dora-chan commented as he stuffed his muzzle with food .

“Yeah, it really is!- It’s got eggs too-” Sui and Dora-chan seemed to like it .

“Well, it’s delicious but I prefer not having the vegetables . ” Fer grumbled telepathically but I noticed his jaws didn’t slow down appreciably as his bowl emptied quickly, veggies or no veggies .

“Look Fer, vegetables are essential for Loco Moco . No vegetables, it’s just not the same . ” I tried to explain .

“I think it’s just tastier without the veggies . ” Fer harrumphed, obviously disagreeing with me on this point but I shrugged and dug into my own bowl of Loco Moco with extra veggies . Delicious! Fer didn’t know what he was missing out on, I decided smugly .

After the first serving Dora-chan seemed to be full up, his little belly rounded out yet again . Fer and Sui had seconds, of course . I made Fer’s dish without vegetables this time .

After we finished eating I took a little break then used earth magic to make a little box-shaped bedroom for the night .

“Everyone can go to sleep now . I’ve follow you later but I’ve got something to do . ”

“Well OK, but what is it you’re up to?” Fer inquired .
