You can eat goblin meat... it has become quite famous in the guillem that you can eat it in a certain way.
　Cooks who negotiate with Mayo and get the goblin meat they've processed well start cooking goblin dishes at their own disposal and put them up for sale.
　It is common knowledge in this world that goblin meat, whether you live in Gilm or not, is extremely poor.
　For that reason, those who first heard of the goblin meat dish were afraid to buy it, but when they realized it was surprisingly delicious, they were surprised.
　Not all cooks did well, though.
　Some say that cooking with certain ingredients has resulted in a dish that tastes worse than ordinary goblin meat...
　It was also discovered that basically the goblin meat sold by Mayo would become the tasteless goblin meat if cooked for a long time.
　Of course, it happened because it was processed with Gamerion's internal organs, and there was a possibility that if you could eat it deliciously in other ways, you might be able to eat it deliciously in stewed dishes...
　Unfortunately, no wonder, Mayo hasn't announced how to eat goblin meat deliciously.
　What Mayo is selling is goblin meat after it has been processed by themselves, and the cooks who buy it don't know how the meat is processed.
　Of course some people would like to know about it, but Mayo has finally come to this point after a few years of research.
　There are still a lot of restrictions, such as the need for gamelion viscera that comes out in the fall, and the return to the tasteless goblin meat after a long boil, and it's not always easy to enjoy the goblin meat.
　But making goblin meat delicious is not a joke, but a historic achievement.
　That is why, if you wish, there are some people who think like that."

"Haha!"

　The adventurer, hired by the man who thought about it, fell to the ground with Ray's blow.

"I can't believe there's a Gillum adventurer who thinks of such a foolish thing,"
"Don't say so. Besides, these adventurers are not genuine guillem adventurers. They must have come to Guillem to find work on extension work."

　Vichela, who stole the consciousness of another adventurer by Ray's side, tells him in a somewhat comforting tone.

"Well, with all this strength... ...but I'm in trouble."

　To find out the secret of eating delicious goblin meat, many people are now searching for Percy's tool stores.
　Ray had heard from Mayo that it could be such direct violence, that it could be stinked by business partners with Percy's tools stores, and that recently some suspicious people around the store were unfamiliar to him.
　flesh of only goblin
　Some people think so, but goblins are ubiquitous, not just on the frontier.
　If you can eat the goblin meat deliciously, it's going to pay a fortune.
　It's not funny that some people think that way and want to make it their own.
　In fact, we need to use Gamerion's internal organs, which are only available in a few places, including guillem, so we can't eat goblin meat deliciously anytime, anywhere.
　But at the moment, Mayo has no intention of informing.
　That's natural, given the money we've invested in this research, and Mayo has a natural desire for honor.
　Ray didn't care about it, though, because he didn't care about it.
　Also, just because of his desire for honor, Mayo doesn't intend to make his research into how to eat goblin meat delicious.
　In the first place, it was Ray who approached Mayo to study how to enjoy the deliciousness of goblin meat, and he was given large quantities of goblin meat and spices that were originally expensive.
　Given the circumstances around that time, Mayo has no option not to reveal Ray's name as a collaborator.
　Ray himself didn't really care about that, so he was honest that it didn't matter.

"Well, I'll just keep an eye on Ray while he's at Elena's, so don't worry. If you want, you can ask him to escort you to the Percy tool store."
"Request, sir, but is there anyone who will be asked to guard at this time of year?"

　Winter is basically a long break for adventurers.
　For Ray, the impression is that it's a summer vacation or winter vacation.
　By the way, the winter vacation period varies greatly depending on the area where you live, and sometimes it is shorter than the high school Ray attended by a week or more, so people may not be able to recognize winter as a long vacation...For Ray, who lived in the Tohoku region, winter was a long enough vacation.
　The longer the winter vacation, the shorter the summer vacation.
　At any rate, the adventurers who were asked to escort them during such a long vacation... were unlikely to be undertaken by adventurers who were unsure of their money beyond the winter.
　Of course, adventurers don't spend all winter drinking and making merry.
　It was not uncommon to train yourself to be stronger for activities starting in spring.
　Still, after the new year... no, many people think spring is coming, so it's a little difficult to say this time of year... and as soon as soon as winter comes.

"Then, after all, is it best to order from Vihela, Marina, or Bune?"
"Oh, I'm expensive,"

　The Vihela was joking, but it was only natural that it would be expensive to hire someone as good as Vihela.

"Oh... for the time being, let me know. It's about Vihela, so you don'

　If you can hire for money, that's easy for Ray.
　But it was only natural for Ray, who knew Vihela's character.

(That's what Vihela wants, so it's probably a mock battle or something like that.

　That's what Ray thought, but the next word that came out of Vihela's mouth stopped him.

"Well, when you come back from the Duke of Quelevel, let's go on a date. That's all right, isn't it?"
「……」

　Rey's unexpected remark was not immediately answered.
　Vichela smiles heavily at Ray's appearance.
　...the cheeks turn pale red as they float.
　Vichela is not so ashamed of herself by inviting people to mock battles or by showing them her light-clad figure like prostitutes or dancers.
　But even if it's such a Vihela, I guess it's embarrassing to ask Ray out... a man I love.
　Still, Vihela asks Ray, looking older and more relaxed.

"What do you think? Don't you think it's a low commission?"
"...it's going to be expensive in a way,"

　While responding to Vihela's appearance, Ray accepts a date offer.

"Okay. So when you come back, where do you want to go? ... Do you want me to think?"
"I'd be glad if you'd do that,"

　Vichela says so with a big smile on her face, but Ray is embarrassed inside.
　Of course, it's not like we've never had a date.
　I didn't have the opportunity to do that when I was in Japan, but since I came to Elgin, I've somehow become accustomed to seeing more beautiful women than I saw on TV... or on TV.
　That doesn't make Ray wonder where to go on a date, though.

(Like a movie theater? No, no. Library... Do you enjoy Vihela reading in the library? Restaurant... Oh, a cafeteria full of sweet desserts? And window shopping?)

　A few things come to mind, but Ray's knowledge comes from cartoons and anime.
　Many of them, however, did not work in this Elgin.

"I'll think of something for now,"
"Is that so?"

　a smiley and nodding Vihela
　And when I was talking near the back door of a parsee shop, the door suddenly opened.

"Good job, both of you. I've prepared some hot soup, so please go ahead."

　Appearing with a plate of appetizing soup was a parsee tool store clerk.
　It's great for the Ray's to bring some soup, saying it's going to be cold. I'm glad to hear that...

"Well, let alone the ingredients and vegetables of this soup, isn't this the meat of the goblin?"
"Yes, sir,"

　A woman in her mid-20s nods to Ray's words with a smile.
　But when Ray sees it, he opens his mouth with a slightly disagreeable expression.

"Didn't you say that the processed goblin meat is not suitable for soup or other long-boiled dishes?"The woman smiled happily at Ray's words.

"Well done! Actually, this soup was made a little differently than usual. It's not that difficult."

　She continues to explain, handing Ray and Vihela a plate of soup and spoon, respectively.

"The goblin meat that we processed can be eaten deliciously without any problems in stir-fry, but when it comes to soup, it was absolutely unsavory. ... Then you can change your mind!"

　Pointed at him as he spoke, Ray was pushed by the force to bring the goblin meat into his mouth.
　If it doesn't taste good, I'll spit it out at once. But...

"Is it delicious?"
"That's right. It tastes bad when you boil it in soup, but if you fry it and put it in the soup as an ingredient, you can eat it without any problem! ... Well, in that case, the soup doesn't have the flavor of meat..."
"Oh... I see. Did you use goblin meat purely as an ingredient?"
"Yes,"

　Ray briefly wondered, "Is it Columbus's egg?" but he wouldn't say it.
　In the first place, I don't understand the meaning of Columbus' egg in this world, and it was a surprising idea for Ray, who rarely cooks, but I thought it was a kind of cooking method that was not particularly strange or unusual for a cook.
　In fact, Ray didn't know, but it's a common cooking method in Japan to boil ingredients only for making soup stock for a long time, and then add ingredients for eating to the ingredients until they break down.
　Of course it took a lot of time and effort to cook, but a chef knows how to cook it.

"And have you overcome the drawbacks of not being able to use goblin meat in your soup?"
"Well, what do you think about that? It's very different after all from adding it as an ingredient and being able to simmer it well. I can't really say we've overcome it, but with the way we're treating it right now, we can't do anything about it."

　Goblin meat has only recently been able to be eaten reasonably deliciously using Gamerion's internal organs.
　If we had known this from the beginning, it would not have been impossible to stock up on a large amount of Gamerion's internal organs... but now anyway, the amount of Gamerion's internal organs is very limited.
　That being the case, there is not enough internal organs to make trial and error.

"Are you looking for any other way to enjoy the goblin meat?"
"It's only natural that you can enjoy the goblin meat around here... and only at this time of year. But it's still better than it used to be."

　Still, many people try to break into Percy's shop in search of a secret to eating goblin meat.
　Ray wondered if it would be okay to publish the limited way to eat goblin meat...but there must be some idea that Mayo would not.

(There were times when I couldn't eat it if I used spices... then I wonder if it would be a cost-effective problem.)

　That's how Ray thought, but for the time being, he kept guarding the Percy store.
