After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King

  Chapter 8 Mutual recognition of food lovers

   "Mr. Ira, about the food in Demon King City..."

Xilina, who was leading the way, said so, flicking her tail behind her, and said: "Mr. Lime is in charge. He and his slimes are also the only chefs in the Demon King's City. If the food If it’s not to your liking, please bear with me.”

  It sounds like Sirina doesn't want any conflict between Ira and the chef named Lime.

   "It's no longer a matter of my appetite, your chef... seems to have no ability to choose ingredients at all."

  Speaking like this, Ira made up her mind to have a good talk with the royal chef of Demon King City to discuss food issues, but if the name... Lime, it must be slime, right?

  Slime? Let a slime without a taste system be a chef? !

  Ira thought so, followed Xilina around one corridor after another, and met some maids on the way, and they all cast curious glances at him and Xilina.

   After going around a few turns and walking down a set of steps, the two of them arrived at their destination.

In the kitchen are a group of small green slimes who are cleaning the pots and the stove, and the one who directs the small slimes to work is a green gel-like humanoid creature. Because there are no facial features or physical characteristics, it is impossible to tell the difference between male and female. Female.

The human-shaped slime wearing a chef's hat noticed Xilina and Ira who had arrived. He turned his head to look at the two, nodded slightly, and then slapped the name with a vague voice that could not distinguish between men and women. Greeting, saying: "Good evening, Miss Xilina...and this one."

  Looks like she doesn't know Ira...

   "I want to talk to you about the dinner party today."

  Ira, who is more serious about food, said that he didn't think this dinner was passable anyway, and said: "First of all, there is salad. Sisi grass and red snake fruit are a typical combination, but..."

Before Ila finished speaking, the slime named [Lime] knew what Ila wanted to say before he asked the question, and he said: "The silk grass is not fresh enough, and the snake fruit is too fresh." Sour...I'm so sorry, I'll do better next time."

  Looking at Lime who was decisively admitting his mistake, Yila froze for a moment, and said, "That's true, as long as you can understand, this is a very important thing, because Sisicao itself..."

Then, before Yila finished speaking, Lime interrupted him again, and said simply: "Because the sweetness of Sisi grass itself is only obvious when it is tender, if the red snake fruit is too sour, Then the whole salad will only taste like red snake fruit."

   "..."

   Isn’t this very understandable?

   "Besides..."

  Ira opens to point out other mistakes...

   "In addition, the blueberry mushrooms were not selected with sufficient quality, and the meat steak with sauce was also made of mountain sheep with poor meat quality instead of the usual chamois, and the steak was not served with blueberry jam."

Rhyme chattered a lot, although he knew that Ira was here to criticize, but he didn't show a trace of displeasure. Chattering and saying:

   "The meat of the goose is also old, and no sage is added for seasoning. In addition, the fruit is not seasoned, but chooses to eat raw fruit like ordinary people, and..."

   "..."

  Listening to Lime who kept pointing out his own problems, Ira stopped him with a somewhat tangled voice, saying, "Wait, enough is enough... there is no need to continue."

   It seems that Ira looks a little embarrassed.

   "Puff~hahaha...cough cough cough, sorry."

  Sirina, who couldn't help laughing because of Ira's posture, her heart skipped a beat with her gorgeous smile, and then calmed down under the helpless gaze of Ira and Lime.

   "Since you know everything, then..."

Regarding Ira's question, Lime still chose to answer it before Ira asked it completely. He said: "Conditions are not allowed. In other words, there is no room for perfect food in the Demon King's City... For the chef, this is a big problem." a disgrace."

Lime's tone was full of helplessness, and the little slimes in the kitchen seemed to feel this frustration, and stopped jumping around, but hid behind the cabinets and pots, revealing half of their bodies. Head peeking at Ira communicating with Rhyme.

   "Nowadays when the vast majority of cities are obsessed with yin and yang and no longer conduct trade and worship according to conventions, we are not qualified to be too picky about the ingredients just by relying on the materials of one city."

Lime said so, showing the shelf behind him, and he introduced: "This is the place where spices are placed. There are 21 kinds of spices and seasonings. Now there are only 17 kinds left in the Demon King's City. If you go over there door into the cellar."

After pointing to a wooden door behind him, Lime thought about it, and thought of how to describe it, he said: "The few ingredients and empty shelves are as eye-catching as the world tree standing in the mangrove. "

  Very beautiful adjective, but this proves that the current status of Demon King City is not [beautiful], although it has little relationship with Iraq.

   "Sorry, I shouldn't be in such a hurry to question you."

  So, while speaking, Ira sincerely apologized to Lime. He looked at the chef who knew the food problem very clearly, and said with some admiration: "You are already great for being able to do this."

   But as a real chef, you don't need this level of praise.

   "No need to be sorry, you seem to be someone who loves cooking, I can feel that the heat in our souls is resonating."

   "No, I don't actually like cooking that much... I'm just good at eating, and if you have enough ingredients and conditions, your food will be delicious."

   "Thank you, if possible... I hope you can **** real cooking skills after letting go of my hands and feet!"

   "I'm looking forward to that day too."

Responding, Yila nodded earnestly, withdrew her respectful gaze from Lime, and walked out of the kitchen first... and Xilina, who was moved by the sudden development, followed Yila in confusion. behind.

   "Mr. Ira... why did you... and Mr. Lyme become close friends all of a sudden?"

For Xilina's question, Ira did not answer, but went up the stairs here and walked to an open-air platform. He turned his head and glanced at Xilina, and responded: "Because, there is only food in the world. The anger in my heart needs to be treated with caution..."

   "Thank you for your hospitality. If you need my help in the future, please speak up as soon as possible."

Saying so, Ira turned her head and turned her back to Xilina. The cold wind blew his clothes, and he looked at the stars in the sky... The direction of the bright Sessilis is in the west, and it goes along the river towards Fly there, and you can go to the kingdom of elves.

  The rest of life will be spent in 【Silver Moon Tree Garden】.

  But when Ira thought about it and was about to take off...

   "Miss Yila~ the favor you mentioned... can I use it now?"

  Vera's voice sounded from behind.

   "..."

  Do you keep encountering accidents every time you want to say goodbye? !

  Ira had a hunch that the previous promise [I owe you a favor] would be the most regrettable promise I made in my life... I would have added some prerequisites if I knew it!
