After being betrayed by the Empire, I decided to assist the Demon King

Chapter 8 The 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 Ira to have any conflicts with 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."

Saying so, Ira made up her mind to have a good talk with the royal chef of Demon King City and discuss food issues, but the name... Lime, wouldn't it be slime?

Slime?Let a slime without a taste system be a chef? !
Thinking so, Ira 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 flight of steps, the two of them reached 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 your dinner tonight."

Yila, 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."

Seeing Lime who was decisively admitting his mistake, Yila was stunned 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?
"Other than that..."

Ira opens her mouth to point out other mistakes...

"In addition, the blueberry mushrooms are not of good quality, and the meat steak with sauce is also made of mountain sheep with poor meat quality instead of the usual chamois, and the steak is 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 quality 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 a commoner, and..."

"..."

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

It seemed that Ira was a little embarrassed.

"Puff~ Hahaha...cough cough cough, sorry."

Xilina, who couldn't help laughing because of Ira's posture, her heart skipped a beat with her flamboyant smile, and then she regained her calm 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 fully asked, he said: "Conditions are not allowed. 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 obsessively and secretly no longer conducting trade and offerings 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 the spices are placed. There are 21 kinds of spices and seasonings. Now there are only [-] kinds left in the Demon King's City. If you go through the door over there If you go 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 the 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 being a real cook doesn't require this level of praise.

"No need to be sorry, you seem to be a person who loves cooking, and 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 cooking will definitely be delicious."

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

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

Yila, who responded, nodded seriously, took her respectful gaze away from Lime, and turned her head out of the kitchen first...while Xilina, who was moved by the sudden development, followed Yila in confusion. Pull behind.

"Mr. Ira...why did you...and Mr. Lyme become best 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, Yila turned her head away from Xilina, and the cold wind blew his clothes, and he looked at the stars in the sky... The direction of the bright Sesparasitic constellation is in the west, and it goes along the river to the west. Fly there, and you can go to the kingdom of elves.

The rest of my 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? !
Yila had a premonition that the previous promise "I owe you a favor" would be the most regrettable promise I made in my life... If I knew it, I would add some prerequisites!
