EP.24 Happy Dog
『The Undead Race itself is a great threat. Immortals are so different from ordinary people that they cannot blend in. They are not afraid of guns, do not shy away from fire, and are insensitive to violence. Even if a finger is cut off by a blade, they smile and put it back together. I don’t care if I get stabbed, but I don’t know why others are afraid of knives. There was always chaos in the towns and cities where they intermingled, so the military authorities eventually banned the Undead from residing within the military.” The
golem looked down at his wriggling right arm and said.
『In addition, this being that inherited the blood of the immortal race the thickest does not die even in the abyss completely isolated from external forces. More than expected. They are a very tough and dangerous race. I think it will be too much for you to handle.
”
『Wouldn’t it be difficult from your point of view if the number of trainees increased by one more?』
This is actually the case. There were times when I was almost folded by a regressor, and there were times when I was almost torn apart by vampires. It doesn’t attack me when it reaches Aji, but it’s calmly gnawing away at the lifespan of my shoulder.
One more person added? It will definitely increase the burden.
Frustrated by the golem’s suggestion, I asked insinuatingly.
“How do I remove it?”
“At this point, the method is confidential, so I cannot tell you. But I promise you we can banish him with certainty from this Tantalus. He will never come back here.”
“Who is doing that?”
『You have to do it.』
Ah, so. I. I have to lift that body and ‘remove’ it myself.
what else do i say
I replied coolly.
“No.”
『Won’t you regret it?
』 You can’t.”
Of course. Do you know why people shouldn’t commit murder? It is to avoid retaliation.
Whether the opponent is the law, the victim’s family, or even the severed right arm. What if you get retaliated against? will you take responsibility?
They say it’s an immortal race. Saying I won’t die Even though his limbs have already been cut off, he still moves. What if he somehow gets revived while trying to get rid of it and comes back to retaliate against me? No, you don’t even need to be resurrected, and even if you come to avenge one of your severed limbs, you don’t have the confidence to win.
I am more afraid of a right arm that moves by itself than a strong person.
“Let’s just feed him and revive him. Don’t say anything strange because it’s removal or expulsion.”
『It is surprising. I never thought you would be such a moral person.”
“What do you think of me?”
I am more moral than anyone else in the world. That’s because they fear retaliation more than anyone else in the world.
A person with fear is the law to be careful, and to be careful of others is to keep manners and morals.
This is how I lived in that back alley, and it is also the principle that saved me.
“Supply is coming, right? I have one more mouth now, but it’s a little difficult if it doesn’t come to the supply.”
『There are supplies waiting. Due to the prison break incident, we stopped at the stopover, but transportation will resume when Tantalus announces that it is back to normal.”
“Okay! Restart right away! When are you coming?”
『It will arrive within 3 hours.』
“That’s fast!”
『Even complaints?
』 But is that possible?”
“The administrative power of the military is the best in the world. It’s not even a problem to resend the supplies that were in the process of being delivered.]
I couldn’t read the golem’s thoughts, but for some reason the main body controlling the golem seemed to be arrogant. I want to show off my nose when I’m not proud of myself, but I’m the only one who’s in trouble if the supply is cut off, so let’s stay still.
“How many supplies are there?”
『Based on Tantalus’ supply plan, 3 days worth of food was to be supplied.』
“Are you crazy? Stick it to someone’s nose.”
『However, this supply plan was established before the prison break occurred. Now that the number of people has plummeted, it would be about 90 days’ supply in terms of simple quantity.”
“I can stick it on my nose! and! The administrative power of the military is truly amazing!”
Then there is no need to conserve food from now on. If it is food for 90 days, you can make fermented soybeans with canned beans.
Oh, this is the bottomless pit, so you can’t make fermented soybeans. Anyway, as long as the amount is sufficient, the number of dishes that can be cooked increases infinitely.
good. You will feel material abundance for the first time in a long time. I shouted excitedly.
“Oh! support! Don’t touch that!”
“bruise?”
Aji, who looked at the bone attached to his right arm with strange eyes, suddenly raised his head. As I curled and wiggled my fingers, Aji ran straight to me and put his chin on my hand. I said while tickling Aji’s chin.
“Let’s eat something delicious instead of that cheap meat. I’ll make you the delicious rice that the supply promised to come soon!”
“bruise!”
Aji barked happily. I thought as I tickled Aji’s chin and head one after another.
What kind of dish should I cook? Now that you’re tired of stew, should you boil it once and fry it in a pan and eat it like a cookie? Or should I grind the starch and boiled beans together after mincing the meat and bake it? Although it is inefficient in terms of nutrition, it might be good to make soybean water by grinding soybeans and sifting them through a sieve.
It was when I was thinking of all the luxuries I could commit with food. Something tapped my heel. I did something and turned my head and was startled. It was the right arm.
My right arm crawled with only my fingers and eventually reached me.
“The military family has increased by one.”
He took out a can of food from the cupboard, opened it, turned it over, and held it whole in the palm of his right arm. It was a hard compressed bean that boasted the same strength as a brick, but the right arm turned to the main body regardless. The right arm eagerly walked to the main body and dumped beans into its wide mouth like a mother bird feeding.
“Your right arm is so…competent.”
Even if the main body is in a state of suspended animation, is it an immortal race that requires hard-working arms, or is it something like that because it is an immortal race?
In any case, it was definitely a good choice not to tear the limbs. I don’t have the confidence to win if that right arm eats the left arm and both legs and comes to take revenge. It’s very disappointing that his body, which is no different from a corpse, ate an entire can of canned food.
It’s a little grotesque, but for the time being, I’ll have to leave the golem and ㅇㅇㄴㄱㄴ in the cafeteria.
“bruise! bruise!”
“I can’t stand it. okay. I will.”
Remove the beans and meat from the press can. The performance of the military-specially compressed canned food still boasts a rock-like hardness without any moisture. Even beef jerky, which used to be compared to bricks in the past, will not be compared. It would take me a year to eat this without water.
The fat part was cut off from the compressed meat and placed on the pan. When you light it, the oil melts and begins to drip.
The rest of the meat is soaked in water like beans. This time, I wasn’t going to stew it, so I adjusted the amount of water so that it was only half submerged.
While the dry compressed beans and meat soaked in water, I took out the dough I made the other day. When I sneaked in and checked the inside, it was as white and round as an ostrich egg, as it was at the time it was made.
“Ugh. also. Fermentation does not occur.”
Far from swelling, the color didn’t change as if it had been stuffed. Because the land was cursed by the Earth Mother, it rots and cannot return to the ground.
“Aren’t you still at the bottom of the abyss? If the place where I set foot is the ground, there should be some workers on the ground…”
Something gets caught, but I don’t know what gets caught. haha that’s frustrating I can’t read Mother Earth’s thoughts.
I scratched my head nervously, but I couldn’t come up with knowledge that I didn’t have. The head is not rice poison.
“no way. I don’t know. People with great power will take care of such great things.”
Better not expect soft bread here. Let’s just expect rice to be in our supplies.
I put the hard dough in the oven and turned the heat up. At the same time, he brought the slightly soaked beans and meat and set them down in front of Aji.
“rice!”
“Not yet. wait. You should eat more deliciously.”
Aji wiped his hands clean with a towel. When the clean hem of the cloth touched his feet, he twisted his body as if it was itchy, but he did not manage to escape. After patting her hair once as a compliment, he ordered towards Aji.
“Ah. Hit me with your fist.”
“no! The meat hurts!”
“Originally, the more you torment the meat, the more delicious it becomes.”
“bruise?”
“The last time I roasted it, it became much more delicious. The sicker the meat, the better it tastes.”
That’s why I love dogs so much on the day of the ox. fish oil.
Swallowing back talk, I persuaded Aji.
“bruise! That’s right!”
Aji, convinced, immediately swung his fist. I couldn’t even see how fast my fists were. A thud made a dent in the minced meat.
The meat and beans, which are still dry due to lack of moisture, are minced in an instant with Aji’s doggie punch. Truly a human, not a dog grinder.
He said the meat hurts. In front of the taste, you don’t even show the slightest bit of mercy.
While the aji is minced, gently add the starch and knead it. It contains soybeans instead of eggs, so it is not very sticky. If you put it on the pan, it will be crushed without mercy.
However, unlike human society, the culinary world values the inside more than the outside. No matter how ugly the shape is, as long as it tastes good, it’s enough.
“now. enough oil. Then let’s go.”
Soybean meat rolled into rounds, so the hamburger with beans and meat fell onto the pan. Immediately after that, the hamburger starts to cook with a sizzling sound. The smell of burning protein. The sound of meat being lightly fried in oil. There is a sound like rain hitting wet ground.
“Mommy.”
Aji forgot how to bark and started looking up at the fan, perhaps because of the overwhelming appearance. Even religious people who have received angels will not be able to see such eyes. He laughed and sang a song.
“Lululala.”
Fire and heat take away all color. Stubbornly insisting that all natural colors should exist only with light, it dyes the bloody blood that coveted red color into carbonized brown.
Instead of losing color, what is gained is umami and flavor. It is a willing change for humans. The meat on the fire didn’t want to taste good.
Catch the slightly disheveled shape with a spatula and put it on a plate. Lightly sprinkle the greasy meat grease on top. A plate of ego. Originally, people came first before dogs, but only today, it comes first.
“Muh–huh.”
I put the hamburger in front of Aji. Aji looked up at me, unable to bear the thought of eating this masterpiece. While Aji waited, I took my share and put it on the table and sat down.
I put my spoon down and said to the golem on the table.
“Captain Abbey. Would you like to come down and have a bite?”
“Don’t worry. Because the watcher is not swayed by desire.”
“I understand! Then enjoy with your eyes only!”
[…]
He left the golem on the table and raised the spoon. Aji’s body was in a tense state. As if he were a sprinter, he was ready to run out at the signal.
You can’t miss this at a time like this. It is an opportunity to learn.
I took out the chime. Aji’s eyes are stained with anticipation. what i will do what will happen now It is what the body remembers.
Jinglang. ring the bell At that moment, Aji’s salivary glands burst. Mouth wide open and saliva flowing down. The eyes are so shiny that I feel like I’m going to fall into the meat.
It’s nice to be nice to wait for me in the meantime. Hmm. I can’t doubt that I’ll eat it in the future.
I declared, putting down the chime.
“let’s eat!”
“bruise–!”
Aji slammed his face into the plate.
At this moment, Aji was the happiest dog in the world.
