The Other World Dining Hall

The Great Sea Plains' Continental Sea ', which stretches between the continents of East and West, is the only route linking East and West, while at the same time being a dangerous zone inhabited by numerous demons.

Not as much as the dragon god sea, the magic realm dominated by the powerful demons of the 'Blue Emperor', which stretches south of the continent, but nevertheless every year, to the extent that they cross the fingers of both hands, there are ships that will never reach land again.

Seylan is also a kind of demon living on islands dotted on the continental sea.

Seylane is a demon with a beautiful girl with bird wings on her back and bird-like legs.

The magical song enchants what you hear, a dangerous demon that has sunk every ship that invites you to the sea.

It is such a race.

And it was on a certain summer day that Arius, a Seylan boy who had come up with a nesting period, was set to descend on "Kimyra Killing Island".

The starting point was the suggestion of Iris, a Seylan girl who is close at the edge hatched from an egg on the same day.

"Hey Arius! It's a nesting place. Why don't you go to Kimyra Killer Island?

"Kimyra Killer Island... I thought Obaba said stay away from me because it's dangerous!

Arius turned away when he heard that the place that Illis had mentioned was an island where Arius and his dangerous beings lived, taking it to Ceyllane.

Obaba...... According to the elders who lived and descended to the most places in Seylan for the longest time and accumulated the most knowledge, 'Kimyra Killer' lives on that island.

Kimyra Killer. A dreaded man who dominated the island by defeating Kimyra alone, a powerful demon who was the ruler of the original island.

If Seylan, who is treated by humans as a troublemaker, meets Kimyra Killer, he will surely have no life.

Originally, Seylan and humans were never good friends.

Though not aggressively hostile, Seylan is considered a troublesome demon for humans, especially those who use the sea as a place of life.

Seylane sinks the ship with its singing voice and eats the human beings that are overflowing in the sea, feared to be demons with the appearance of a beautiful girl, but it is not true.

It is true that singing has the magic to attract humans and other creatures, and it looks luxurious to fly in the sky, looking like a girl from a human being because of the less physical difference between a man and a woman.

If they were attacked with hostility by humans, they would sometimes use those powers to fight.

But humans don't eat. I don't even want to eat it.

Obaba said it must have come from Seylane not letting the fire through and eating fresh raw fish in his favor.

It's unusual for humans to eat raw fish that don't even catch fire.

With all those circumstances, Seylan has lived for the last hundred years to stay out of human contact.

The Iris proposal was head-on against it.

"It's okay. 'Cause even if you think about it, look. Kimyra Killer showed up long before we were born, right?

Let the reluctant Arius tell Iris what he thinks.

"That's... yes..."

"Then you'll be weaker when you're old enough to say how strong that Kimyra kill was, and you might have already died of illness or something in the first place, right?

Then why don't we just take a little look down? A demon as strong as Kimyra would be a good island. "

Iris makes even more sense.

"Start by looking at it from the top, and if it doesn't look right, just fly away and you'll be fine. Killing Kimyra is human, isn't it? Then I don't think the sky can fly."

"Ugh, yeah. That's right..."

"Okay! Decided! If you decide so, let's go!

It takes and Arius flies off to be pulled by Illis.

On our way is the island of Kimyra Killer...... a few months ago, an uninhabited island where former residents left.

Then, when the sun plunged into Jomtien, the two descended on the island.

"Heh... this is Kimyra Killer Island... it doesn't look like a good place"

"The Kimyra killer... apparently isn't here. Good."

The two people who looked around looking at the island from the sky were human-shaped creatures on the island...... they stepped down in front of a cave that made them feel like the only person on the island had their hands in it when they made sure the Kimyra kill was nowhere.

"Is this the Kimyra Killer's Nest..."

"Apparently you lived here for sure."

Apparently, Kimyra Killer lived there. Kimyra Killer's Nest was available for use as a residence.

Underneath the holes for brightness are large vessels for storing rainwater, and inappropriate wooden shelves are mounted along the stone walls.

In the corner of the cave a bed is made of hay that would have been made dry, and right next to it is placed a crate that would have been brought in when it came to this island.

A line is carved on the wall, probably to count how many days you've been here.

It's so massively carved up that it fills the cave walls that it gives you a sense of how long the Kimyra Killer lived here.

(Yeah? What is it? Kind of a weird way to carve this line)

"That? What is it, this?

Looking at the line engraved on that wall with wonder as it was engraved to strike out six vertical lines with diagonal lines, Iris, who was peeking into the crate, finds something, raises his voice and brings it to Arius.

"Hey Arius, you know what this is?

With that said, Iris takes the bag out of the crate and shows Arius what's in it.

Stuck in it were sparkling flat stones.

There are many silver ones and only a few gold ones in them.

"Oh, this is gold and silver. The guy that humans use when they trade for different things."

Arius, who teaches about humans from Obaba and knows more about humans, immediately sees through them and says:

"Then... this is like a letter written in human language."

In addition, the bag contained rounded and new parchment paper.

"Eh, how many..."

Arius reads out the letter so that Iris, who cannot read the letter, can read it.

'Think about when you had something to visit here after me and leave this behind.

Poor drifter, unlucky to have reached this land. Never give up hope to survive.

I've lived here for 20 years and look forward to visiting "Doyo Day" every 7 days.

This gold is a gift from me to you. You should spend it every 7 days on Doyo Day, when you head to the hilltop door.

I wish you luck. [M] Alphons-Cromwell '

"... Doyo Day?

Arius tilts his neck at words he can't hear.

Is it something that only passes between humans?

They come every 7 days though.

"The hilltop door? There was nothing on the hill, was there?

The other Iris also tilts his neck.

After reaching this island, I watched the whole island from the sky in alarm of the killings of Kimyra.

That's why I know where the hill is that this letter is referring to.

But there must have been nothing on that hill but doors.

"Uh-huh. I think maybe the alphonse that comes out of this is about the Kimyra killer..."

With the strange letter in his hands, Arius ponders what he will do now.

"So, what do you do? Looks like there's no dangerous demons or Kimyra killers on the island for now, huh?

"Right...... can I try to stay here for a while?

And after summing up your thoughts, answer the question of Illis.

"Fine. I've been looking for a place to build a new nest, and this island looks good."

Iris nods naturally, too, and the story comes together.

And two days later "Doyo Day" came when the two of them were ready to live on this island.

A black door that popped up on a hill where nothing was supposed to be.

It was the morning of the third day I lived on this island that I found it.

"Why is there such a thing here? It wasn't until yesterday, was it? This."

Teaching Arius about this door, Iris, who came to see it with him, leaning his neck, says.

Until yesterday there was no shadow or shape, a black door with a gold handle and a cat painting appeared on the hill.

"Maybe today is" Doyo Day, "and this is the door that came out in the letter..."

I guess this is the door that was mentioned in that letter. Probably magical.

I don't know what lies ahead because the letter didn't say what.

"Let's go in anyway! Sounds interesting."

"Uh-huh... well, are you okay"

Thinking a little about Iris' suggestion, Arius decides to knock on the door.

Anyway, if that letter is certain, there's got to be something at the end of this door that I'm looking forward to.

At least it won't be dangerous.

"Okay, I'll open it."

Thinking that far, Arius puts his hand on the handle of the door and opens it.

The door opens with the chillin 'chillin' and light bell sounds and goes out into a room full of brightness different from the sun's rays.

"Ah, good morning! You're early! That's right, and welcome to Yoshok's Cat!

A little horny girl notices Arius and greets the Arius guys flauntingly, who was wiping one of the countless rows of tables in that unpopular room with cloth.

There was no fear of Seylane, a kind of demon, on its face, and it seemed wholeheartedly welcoming.

"Oh, oh... what about here?

"Yes. This is a store that serves food to those who come to the store. We have a lot of demonic customers, like customers."

Girl to Arius's inquiry...... Aletta answers without confusion.

Seylane is also a form of demon for her, but I don't care now because Ouga, Lamia, herds of Fairies and Lizardman are the stores where she comes to visit and eat her food in peace.

"So why don't you eat something?

Arius and Illis looked at each other in the words, and looked at each other, and then nodded.

"Well, if that's the case... by the way, what's cooking?

"There's a lot of food..."

When Arlius asks Aletta on behalf of him, Aletta tells him like he's in a little trouble.

There are so many dishes in this store that Aretta doesn't know half of them.

In addition, many dishes from different worlds are difficult to explain. Even more so for a race opponent who is usually as if he doesn't have a relationship.

"What exactly is all this?

"Uh... Oh, yeah! If you tell me what kind of food you want, I'll ask the master!

Further questioned and suggested by the troubled Aletta.

Naturally, the owner knows all the dishes in this store. Sometimes it's enough to make dishes that aren't on the menu.

I'm sure I'll answer any request.

"Uh... bye"

"Me, fresh fish is good! I'm not boiling or baking, raw guy!

Before Arius answers anything, Iris interrupts, says.

"What!? Can you eat fish raw!?... Oh, well, I'll ask the master, not"

Surprised by what Illis said, Aletta nodded and headed under the shopkeeper, who was planting for the guests, who would increase from about noon.

"Hey Iris. No, you can't. Humans don't eat raw fish."

"Huh? Really? It's weird. Even though it's delicious."

To Arius' words, Iris tilts his neck.

Iris didn't think of anything in particular, he just answered his favorites.

"Already..."

Well, it would be over if they told me there was no way.

Think so. Arius sighs.

Arius knew there was no way humans could cook raw fish.

... without realizing that that's just 'common sense in my world'.

Then a little, Aletta comes back and asks the two of them.

"Um... a customer said, if it's a dish called carpaccio, it'll be a dish with raw fish, okay?

"Huh!? Do you have one?

It was Arius who was surprised by the words.

I didn't think there was.

"Yeah! Fine! Bring it quick!

Iris answers before Arius says anything.

"Yes! Please wait! Please use your seat as it is finished wiping."

As relieved by the words, Aletta smiles and goes to the kitchen in the back to announce her order.

Then often.

"Thank you for waiting"

In front of the two seated, a human man, who would be the shopkeeper, comes and puts it down softly.

A dish featuring raw oraniers on top of thin slices of raw fish of a unique, brightly red colour.

"It's a tuna carpaccio. Then take your time."

Asking the name of that dish, Arius and Iris had their eyes nailed.

It was an unknown dish made from raw fish, and it looked delicious.

At the same time as the store owner leaves, the two start eating just quickly.

Pointed tip, piercing and lifting fish fillets with forks used by humans for meals.

It would be a shame if the fish were about to rot now, but fortunately that's not the case, fresh itself.

A bright red color moves into the eyes of two people, who unwittingly drink their sauce and spit.

And... carry it to your mouth.

"" Yummy!?

The fish had a concentrated taste.

Every time it is chewed, the taste is overflowing.

That is the unique saltiness of the juice used to flavor this dish and the acidity of the fruit that is not yet ripe.

It is mixed and harmonious with the spicy taste of oranier, which is too strong when eaten individually.

It's soggy, a little sour, spicy as a squeak... and the taste of the fish that surrounds them all spreads through your mouth.

Fish fillets that are not only fresh, but also feel polished to techniques such as blood draining and cutting.

That was too sophisticated to say that it just cut the fish... it tasted like it deserved to be called one dish.

No more words for the two of us.

The two of them eat carpaccio as if it were a murmur.

The spiciness of the oranier and the acidity of the juice sprinkled over it, as well as the flavour that the fish itself has.

That doesn't try to stop the two hands for a second.

In an instant the two plates will be empty.

"Sir, how about a replacement?

"" Please!!

He nodded at the inquiry of the owner.

"" Phew... ""

Eventually, when the two stopped hands, inside the two stomachs, they were filled with fish.

(Kimyra Killer wrote... was this about here?)

And Arius understands. Why did Kimyra kill leave behind silver and gold coins?

I also see Illis sitting right across the street... she is also very satisfied.

It took and Arius was determined. Trying to make that island our own nest in the future.

I'm sure Iris won't disagree either. With such certainty.
