.
After parting with Lilith, I immediately drive away in Orc Car. The driver isn’t me but Kururu and Tita doing it alternately.
It’s impossible to drive Orc Car without vast amount of magic power. To say nothing of the sea cruising mode, the fuel consumption is even worse than.
However, thanks to their power increasing from making love with me, they are able to drive this vehicle.
It’s the blessing of Evol Orc’s power that share the orc’s power to strengthen the female’s body in order to protect the mother’s body by making them robust enough to bear a child.
「It’s really fun driving this thing!」
「Yes, it feels good. Besides, Ork-san’s driving is scary, so driving this ourselves feels reassuring.」
「Oi, what do you mean by that?」
The two of them stared unblinkingly at me.
Eh, aren’t they staring at me like this a lot of times recently?
「Ork likes to go into rampage quickly after all.」
「I’m still holding a grudge for that Orc Tornado.」
Orc Tornado, that is the Ma○nam signature move of the little brother of a certain wild racer siblings. After getting course out, the vehicle will rotate and fly in the air as shortcut. (TN: Yeah, I don’t know the reference for this, help.)
Practicing that in reality using vehicle that is boarded by people will make them deathly sick.
Especially for Kururu who has sharp sense from being a fox beastman. It was hell.
「……No, that, that move is a man’s romance.」
「The sick should just be quiet. We’ll be the one driving.」
「Ah, look Kururu. There is something, a shining creature is swimming. I wonder what’s that.」
「I don’t know. But, it’s small and pretty-」
One of Orc Car’s seven functions. Orc Aquarium. The floor is transparent and can see into the sea.
There a firefly squid is swimming.
The sky is also getting dark, so the light it gives off is vivid and beautiful.
I see, so they don’t know about squid’s existence itself.
「It’s called firefly squid. It’s not only pretty, it’s also absurdly tasty.」
「Hee, is that so.」
「I want to eat it-! It looks pretty and delicious.」
Kururu’s tail was swaying in excitement.
Can’t be helped.
……Let’s try it. It’ll also serve as my rehabilitation.
My main magic circuit is broken, so I use my weaker sub circuit that isn’t broken.
The sub circuit is not only weaker, it’s also has worse conductivity for mana to flow through.
I’m feeling a strong discomfort when pouring my mana through it. There is noise running when I form up the magic formula. The magic almost dispersed.
(As I thought, even though my sub circuit is alive, I can just use it like that.)
In that case, I’ll add the noise into my calculation. I’m paying a lot of careful attention because the noise’s wavelength changes depend on the mana amount.
Even so I somehow managed to complete the magic formula.
「Water stream manipulation……next wind stream floatation.」
I made an unnatural water stream around the firefly squids that coincidentally swim nearby at this timing. The firefly squids got pushed up together with the water and out of the sea surface.
And then it becomes a sphere of water that float lightly in front of us three.
……I took three times longer than usual to activate the magic. Furthermore even though I imagined a perfect sphere, the result is warped. The precision is also bad. As I thought, this is the limit for the current me.
「Uwaa, pretty.」
「There are sparkling firefly squids in a water tank in front of us, it’s like a fairy tale.」(Kururu)
It seems the two of them aren’t bothered by how I botched the magic. They are staring at the firefly squids imprisoned inside the water sphere with sparkling eyes.
I use one more magic. This time it’s analysis magic. ……Yosh, there is no parasite in them.
「The best way to eat firefly squid is by eating it alive. Like this, you grab a live one and eat it right away.」
It has a chewy texture, and the way the tentacle suck the inside of your mouth is sensual.
First I can taste the saltiness of sea water and the sweetness of the body. Then when I bit, the rich deliciousness of the internal organs flooded out.
Of course it’s also completely fresh because it was alive until now.
It feels like eating life.
Eating a live firefly squid is one of the greatest luxuries.
「That’s a bit, cruel. Even though it’s this pretty.」
「But, it looks delicious. After all I already learned of the deliciousness of a fresh fish.」
It’s Kururu who first give it a try.
She put it into her mouth without hesitation, and chew…….
「This is-, it’s extremely delicious! I like this better than fish.」
「Err, then, I’ll also try……ah, it’s true. Tasty, this texture is interesting.」
It seems that the two of them like it.
And then, even while saying that it’s a shame, they keep eating the firefly squids from the water sphere until it become empty.
I snapped my fingers to move the water sphere until outside the Orc Car before letting go of the mana. The water sphere become just a water and fall down to the sea.
(This is painful. Not only the magic’s result is terrible, the fatigue is also really staggering. Just maintaining it for several minutes is my limit.)
If he is in a perfect health, he’ll be able to control the magic for an hour easily.
「That was delicious. Can’t we catch them at shallow water too? I want to eat them even on land.」
「I heard that sometimes firefly squids can get washed away to the shallow water.」
「Then we can still eat them even after going back!」
It looks like Kururu has really taken a liking to it. Her fox ears are pointing straight up. On the contrary Tita doesn’t look like she is really that enthused.
「But, it will be better if you don’t try eating it when I’m not there.」
「Why is that?」(Kururu)
「Sometimes there are parasites living in the firefly squid. If you eat that then it will gnaw the inside of your stomach, make you blind, or give you disease. It’s really not a laughing matter at all.」
Eating firefly squid alive is really delicious.
It’s also favored by gourmets.
However, a considerable risk accompanies it. That is parasite. Every year there are always health hazard that resulted from firefly squid’s parasite. Even so there are always those who know of how delicious it is taking the risk of eating it alive.
「You made us ate something like that!?」
「I had properly sent sonar using magic power to check that there wasn’t any foreign matter in them. By the way, the probability that there was parasite in them is 2%.」
「I just ate twenty of them today you know!? Err, in that case, there is 99% chance that I ‘ll get the parasite if I eat them without checking isn’t it!?」
The result of me teaching Kururu probability calculation has come out. She has smart mind, so she has the flexibility to apply it in everyday life.
「Well, we simply need to avoid eating it when Ork isn’t there. Besides, we are always together with him so it’s fine.」
「You’re right. We are together all the time.」
Kururu calmed down and return to driving once more.
「If you like it that much, I’ll catch some of them for souvenir. If I put only the squids that don’t have parasite into a water tank……they will last for two or three days.」
「Please do so by all means!」
I too want to eat some more, and it will also serve as rehabilitation for my magic.
I’ll use magic again after resting for a bit.
Let’s try using earth element magic next. It will become a nice litmus test to see whether I can create a water tank exactly like in my imagination or not.
