Volume 9 Chapter 1 Part 4

「Huh? Is that so?」

Somehow, even the person in question has a surprised expression about their face when she just so happened to overhear Sherry’s explanation.

「As expected of Sherry. You know it all.」

「Thank you very much, but that information is really nothing that praiseworthy. There is also one particular theory that states that the gas that the members of the Dragonkin tribe use to breathe flame is stored in their chests, but at the current moment nobody knows if that is true or not.」

「Heee… Is that so?」

「There are even all sorts of silly rumors flying around, like the one saying that the amount of fire that the male Dragonkin tribe members can only breathe little fire or that the female Dragonkin tribe members, blessed with big chests can breathe the large amounts of it.」

「He, heee…. I wonder who could have came up with such silly rumors?」

Other than that, I chose to offer no comment to what Sherry said.

The only thing that I think is truly a waste here is the fact that even though Vesta’s chest is truly enormous, she cannot utilize it in order to start breathing large amounts of fire.

「That is exactly why everyone is so fired up about Dragonkin tribe females with large chests.」

「Oh really?」

「Yes. And that is also why anyone who ogles their chests should just drop dead. It is not the female Dragonkin’s fault that others think that the Dragonkin don’t breastfeed their children because the female Dragonkin’s breasts are filled with air and that they are just airbags without even an ounce of milk in them.」

Airbags? And here I thought that they were filled with hopes and dreams.

「Really?」

「Yes, really. The breasts of the females from the Dragonkin tribe simply receive a very unfair treatment.」

「I see.」

「Because dragonkin females have a large chest, it’s normal for them to be made fun of. Hearing that people think that our breasts are just filled with air… I would lie if I said that it doesn’t sting just a little bit, but other than that it’s alright, master, really.」

Vesta takes over from where Sherry left off and explains. So only Dragonkin tribe females are made fun of because they have large chests? So it would be okay if Sherry had a big chest on her? She wouldn’t be ridiculed for it? Well, I think she herself wouldn’t mind that in the slightest, not when she has such a big chest size complex as she does.

I wonder if that rumor about the chests of female Dragonkin tribe members being nothing but airbags got started because of the women of other races who also were salty about being cutting boards and thought that this is going to be the best way of dealing with their own complexes?

「No, there’s no problem with Vesta at all. It is the guys that only care about a large chests who should just drop dead.」

Sherry tries to cheer Vesta up. It’s a rare sight: a child comforting an adult. Now that I look at them standing side by side, I realize that Sherry and Vesta do look as if they were belonging to totally different worlds, kind of like a pair of aliens.

「Alright, let’s eat now, shall we?」

「Yes, let’s.」

In any case, all signs present I heaven and earth seem to be pointing to this topic being a rather inconvenient one to keep talking about, so I just let it be for the time being, since I don’t need to play with a literal time bomb waiting to go off so much.

We sit at the dining table together, with Vesta sitting right beside me.Because she’s so big, her presence can be clearly felt right next to me even when I am not glancing in her direction.

I have to say, this feeling of having a beautiful woman sit next to me while I eat is nicer than I expected. In fact, I feel so blissfully happy that I almost can’t stand it.

The first thing that I needed to do was to distribute the soup. I got some for myself first, then for Roxanne, then Miria and Sherry, and the last one to receive it was Vesta.

「S-Sorry. Is this really okay for me to be eating the same things as everyone else?」

「It’s alright, really. Then, let’s start eating. Miria, do you have any recommendation regarding the fish?」

「Haddatts, desu.」

「Then, I will try it first.」

Miria points at a fish fillet coated in bread crumbs that she prepared by frying it in the saucepan. When I stabbed it with my fork, I could literally hear the sounds of the delicious juices flowing out of it, and that alone was enough to make my mouth water like crazy.

It looks good, so I hope that it’s going to taste equally good.

「I think this fish is actually called Barudea.」

Sherry informs me. It is a fish that doesn’t exist on Earth, I think, because I cannot recall ever hearing about the fish with such a name anywhere, and I don’t really care whether or not it is a translation or a Brahim equivalent for it.

「Roxanne, which one do you want?」

「I would like the same one that master is going to have, please.」

「What about you, Sherry?」

「Barudea as well for me, please.」

This Barudea fish seems to be quite popular with the girls, so I put their shares in the saucepan. As for Miria… do I even need to ask her if she wants more?

「Haddatts, desu.」

So which is it now? Haddatts or Barudea? I don’t know about you, but for me, for it to apparently have two names is really confusing.

「The name is Barudea, Miria. Repeat after me. Barudea. B – A – R – U -D – E – A.」

「Barudea, desu.」

「Is it really Barudea though?」

「Do you know about it, Vesta?」

Vesta mutters something to herself, so I confirm it with her while she’s looking curiously at the tempura saucepan.

「Yes, I heard it is a very delicious fish.」

「Then, since it’s supposed to be so delicious, then why don’t you try it yourself, too, Vesta?」

「Is it really alright?」

「It is alright.」

After putting Roxanne’s, Sherry’s and Miria’s fillets in the saucepan, I then take out mine.

Because there is no wire mesh, I drain the oil the best I can and take a bite out of it, which causes my manner of eating to be slightly unsightly, but that cannot be helped since I am using may be unsightly for I’m using the chopsticks to drain the oil.

「To sit at the same table as master and to eat the same food is this really alright for a lowly slave such as myself?」

「It’s fine, because it’s master.」

「Master, thank you very much.」

「You should rather thank Miria, since she’s the one who actually who caught the fish. But they really are tasty.」

Crunchy coating on the outside, and delicious, springy meat inside. This fish really tastes great.

「Big Sister, thank you very much.」

「Big Sister, desu.」

Miria repeats and puffs her chest out proudly.

She coats Vesta’s share of fish in bread crumbs and puts it in the saucepan. Thereafter, I take out the fillets of the three using the chopsticks and drain the oil before putting it in their platters.

「Delicious!」

「It is even more delicious than the Barudea I ate back in the days.」

「Delicious, desu!」

It seems to be quite popular with them.

Lastly, I put Vesta’s fillet in her platter.

「I have never eaten such a delicious thing before. Thank you very much, master. Thank you very much, Big Sister.」

「Big Sister, desu.」

I wonder if Miria knows what 「Big Sister」 really means in that context.

「Then, should we try the mushrooms next?」

I put the fried mushroom in Vesta’s wooden bowl. It may be different from the shiitake mushrooms we had last time, but these mushrooms are just as delicious too, nonetheless.

「I would like to try the mushrooms, too.」

「Then, I would like the Rabbit Meat, please.」

「Barudea, desu.」

Getting quite indecisive with your food orders, eh, guys?

「What do you want to try next?」

I ask Vesta while putting the fried mushroom in her wooden bowl.

「Eh? Is it okay for me to choose?」

「If you have never eaten it before, I recommend you to try clams first. You’re going to get addicted to the taste, trust me.」
