Chapter 881


    I asked about monster hunting<hr>


    “Oh, I shouldn’t stay here too long. Delia, I’ll be taking my leave then.”


    “Ah, I’m going to stay here for dinner. Just like yesterday.”


    “I see. Well, it is better to eat with others if you can. Ah, by the way, there was something the chief asked me to tell you.”


    “What is it? Does he want me to visit because he is bored?”


    “That is one reason. But it is about tomorrow. The woodcutters are going out to hunt. And so they want you to help them.”


    “Yes, that’s fine. I will go with them to the forest tomorrow then.”


    So, Ms. Delia was going to hunt with them in the forest.


    It was clear that she could hunt orcs and serpents without trouble, so I was not worried.“Still, it is a little sudden, isn’t it? He usually tells me in advance.”


    “They want new meat. Also, they found traces…of it.”


    “It?”


    “Ah, then I definitely need to go!”


    “Thank you. I will tell the chief and the others then.”


    Said Mr. Kanat, and then he left.


    He sure seemed busy. Negotiating for the chief and delivering messages. But I wondered what he was usually doing?


    I would have to ask himter.


    “Ms. Delia, what did he mean by ‘it’?”


    “Ah, you wouldn’t have understood that. It is a certain monster. Quiterge for a vige like ours, but it is popr because it tastes good. And they try their best to hunt it if it ever appears.”


    “Huh. What kind of monster is it?”


    “In terms of size…it is close to Leo. Well, at least when they are adults.”


    “That is quite big.”


    “Yes. And they are also so fast, so they often run away even when we find them. I think that is why they called me. So that it doesn’t get away.”


    “Large, fast and delicious… Are you talking about Audhum?”


    “So you know about them, Mr. Phillip. Yes, that is what they are called.”


    As he worked as a guard and a soldier, he had a decent amount of knowledge concerning monsters.


    Nichs was also nodding, so he must know about them as well.


    Audhum, huh… I felt as if I had heard that name in some myth before.


    Of course, there was no guarantee that they were the same in this world.


    “Apart from the size, what can you tell me about them?”


    I was quite curious now.


    “Well, they have white fur…”


    “No, Phillip. That is only the females. And they are not eaten, as people usually just collect the milk.”


    “Ah, that’s right. It’s the males that are eaten, and they have ck fur. And due to their speed, it is harder to keep track of them when it’s dark.”


    “Though, their heavy weight ensures that they leave tracks. But they have sharp senses and are quick to run. That cowardly nature means they rarely evene near viges or ces where humans live.”


    “They eat leaves and nts, and rarely attack other living creatures.”


    Herbivores that could be milked? Were they like cows then? If their meat tasted anything like beef, it would exin why they were more popr than orc.


    Well, I suppose some people preferred pork to beef. But I always thought of beef as being more expensive and luxurious.


    “Does this monster have horns and walk on four legs?”


    “They walk on four legs, but they do not have horns.”


    No horns.


    Well, there were some cows that did not have horns. Of course, perhaps these were quite different…
