In fact, Raven had no choice but to do this.

Because the <Bard> he knew could be bad for an ordinary person if eaten in significant quantities.

It’s not good for other races either. It was hard to believe that this weak-looking little girl eats <Bard> as a staple food. 

‘Maybe that’s a kind of obsession I can’t understand.’

 Raven looked at Evelyn with deep thoughts in his own way.

“Why did you get used to eating that?”

He asked from behind Evelyn, who was rummaging through cooking tools, saying that meat should be eaten outside at night.

Evelyn, who smiled awkwardly, answered while scratching her cheek.

“I ate this when there was no bread.”

“There were many times when there was no bread.”

“That’s right.”

Seeing her awkwardness, Raven felt a little sorry.

“I get it. Then.”

After thinking for a while, Raven picked up the heavy bundle of meat, went outside, and said.

“Then, let’s have bread together with that. You can do that, right?” 

Evelyn made a blank face at Raven’s words, smiled brightly, and said, “Ray!” while running into him.

Dangling from his back, she laughed with joy.

“I can do that!” 

“Good.”

Raven glanced back from the corner of his eyes and smiled softly.

He also made a stealth sign, it was because he caught a glimpse of stone statue-like men looking this way with terrified expressions.

‘Everyone is so uncharacteristic messy.”

The knights panicked and barely hid again.

***

The only thing in this house that was made of iron was a pot for boiling soup.

Evelyn has been picking up the right stones as she’s seen on YouTube before.

The surface should be smooth and moderately thick, because if it is thin, it may ricochet and cause injury.

Let’s pick one extra and finally, two things to use as pillars!

“And if you light a fire, you’re ready!

“What about oil?”

“Comes out of the meat.”

Raven looked at Evelyn in wonder and admired it.

“You really know a lot.”

“A little.”

And so the meat feast began.

After debating between eating in the big rock and the backyard, they decided to eat in the backyard.

“It’s annoying if those two smell it and come running.”

At Raven’s words, Evelyn nodded while suppressing her laughter.

Jikiki. Crackle. Crackle.

The meat wasn’t very good quality, but when Evelyn seasoned it in a simple way and garnished it with her herb powder, the smell was amazing.

Gulp.

“I’ve never eaten like this before.”

It was just the right thickness of sliced meat that is grilled on a flat surface. He usually ate steak, and they ate meat on skewers or barbeque when they went outside.

“It’s my first time today too. Because I only knew it in my head. Let’s see.”

Little by little, cooked meat started to come out.

“Did you cut the meat yourself?”

Suddenly seeing the wound on Evelyn’s hand, Raven asked.

“Huh? No.”

“Then you got it in the potion maker’s lab. You cut yourself again today.”

“Even if I was careful it didn’t work out.”

“Is it okay to get scars?”

“Yes. Master said this is a medal.”

“That son of a bitch.” 

“What?”

“Nothing.”

Raven said so and decided to hold the sharp feelings to himself.

There was still more meat left that hadn’t been cut to the right size.

“I can cut it quickly even if I haven’t tried it.”(Raven) 

“Oh, that’s good, really.”(Eve)

Eventually, when the meat was cooked to a certain extent and had accumulated to about 10 slices, the two of them could not stand it any longer and raised their forks.

“Crazy. So delish”. 

“…?”

Evelyn was saying weird things again. 

“What the hell does that mean?”

He wanted to talk, but even Raven was slightly distracted by the feast of meat melting in his mouth.

The meat was tender but had a good grilled taste.

“Wow, I think it tastes like stone too.”

What else does stone taste like? However, Raven seemed to know what she was talking about.

‘I can use stones like this when I don’t have iron utensils.’

Looking curiously at Evelyn once again, Raven raised his fork.

Eating in a trance like that.

Gulp.

Evelyn and Raven turned their heads and found an audience watching them enjoy the meal.

“Hm. When did you come?”

Evelyn asked, mumbling with meat in her mouth.

“……A little while ago.”

“Actually, we’ve been here for a while.”

“Be quiet, Jack.”

It was Sera and Jack.

The two gulped their saliva, greedily coveting precious meat. Evelyn hesitated, and Raven raised one corner of his mouth.

Seems like both of you are weak in front of meat.

Buy it with your money.

We’re eating this for the first time.

Are you trying to steal it?

Such words poured out of his eyes and Sera’s forehead felt sore at the stinging gaze.

‘But it’s the first time we’ve seen someone grill meat this way.'(Sera)

The smell of the meat was so great that even Jack, who had little appetite for food, was salivating from the corners of his mouth.

There was silence between the two watching and the two eating. When only a few slices were left after eating a hearty meal.

“Heh.”

Raven laughed at the two of them.

He put one of the remaining slices into his mouth very slowly, and then put on a satisfied expression. With a savoring, deep smirk. 

It was unlike Evelyn’s pure smile they were used to and Sera and Jack’s expressions became rotten.

After watching the three of them with wide eyes, Evelyn held back a burst of laughter.

If she laughs here, Sera will be upset for a month.

But Raven that was smirking at them, and Sera and Jack drooling in silence were both really funny.

When Raven ate it all, leaving only two pieces. 

“Hup.”

“Hmp.”

The meat went into the mouths of the two kids who were almost crying and about to explode with sadness.

“……!”

“……!”

“Is it good?”

Evelyn was watching with a smile as if she was dying of cuteness. 

“Bell.”

“Huh?”

Raven was looking at Evelyn’s fork with a more rotten face than when he was looking at Sera and Jack from earlier and she wondered if Raven would get angry because she gave precious meat to the kids.

But soon, he held out his fork with a determined face. 

“It’s dirty. Switch with me.”

Raven’s eyes briefly met Jack’s, then fell.

Evelyn thought he was fussing a bit but just exchanged it. This seemed like an act of being conscious of indirect kissing.

“Mmm.”

Whom did he like to take mine? 

She continued to think about it but soon brushed it off.

‘It’s impossible to know with what values the king of self-confidence and pride judges this world.’

It’s another matter when he grows up, but now it’s fine.

While thinking so, Evelyn looked at Sera and Jack enjoying the ecstasy with subtle loose faces.

“This is very juicy…”

“Isn’t it awesome?” 

“It melts. It’s hard to swallow.” 

“It’s a waste to gulp it down, right?”

Evelyn laughed and said, “Eat well!”, the two of them nodded side by side.

Perhaps, because it was night, the atmosphere was quiet and calm, so it must have been a bit hard to act out as they do normally.

Maybe that’s why Sera was a bit relaxed.

“Why are you guys here at this late time in the first place?”(Evelyn) 

“I bet they wanted to throw a stone at us”. When Raven was the one to reply in their places, the two children flinched.

“There are no secrets in this small town.”

“Even if I die soon, I’ll be sure to talk back,” Sera muttered.

And she told Evelyn.

“Bell. Your birthday already passed, right? I’ll give you a present, so come to the bakery tomorrow. Freshly baked white bread is awesome.”

It was Sera’s own way of apologizing.
