The Neighborhood High School Girl, Miss Isezaki, Is the Great Saintess Returned from Another World~ And I, Suddenly Awakened as Her Exclusive Mana Supply Uncle, Travel Between Earth and Another World with Time-Space Magic~ - 51. Feast of Meat

51. Feast of Meat

Amidst the pleasant sound of carbonation and the unpleasant sound of burps surrounding me, a voice of salvation was finally heard.

“Hey! Cola’s great and all, but hey, we gotta eat some meat soon or it’ll get burnt to a crisp!”

The voice belonged to Geeta. Around the campfire pointed out by Geeta, fat dripped down from the skewered meat on the ground, indicating it was just about ready to eat.

Upon seeing this, the leader exclaimed as if reminded of something.

“Oh, right! Got completely distracted by the cola. Matsunaga-san and his wife, you should eat too!”

“Is that okay? For us to have our share?”

We were planning to cook the portion we received ourselves. But the leader, without a care, grinned.

“Yeah, we cooked plenty! Eat your fill!”

“Because, you see, Matsunaga-san, here.”

Geeta handed me two skewers of Great Boar. They were chunks of meat the size of an adult’s fist pierced onto sturdy-looking wooden sticks. Very wild.

“In that case, thank you very much.”

Handing one to Isezaki-san, I decided to dig in immediately. Opening my mouth wide, I bit into the meat vigorously.

As soon as it touched my tongue, the fat melted away, spreading an indescribable sweetness throughout my mouth. The texture was tender, making it hard to believe it was such a hefty-looking piece of meat.

Wow, what’s this? This is definitely a taste that surpasses even that of a groundhog. The term “luxury ingredient” wasn’t just for show.

Glancing sideways, I saw Isezaki-san also chewing with gusto. She swallowed the meat and smiled at me.

“Hehe, it’s been a while since I had Great Boar. Especially when eating it with my husband, it tastes especially delicious.”

The leader eagerly latched onto Isezaki-san’s affectionate couple display.

“Hoo, that’s really heartwarming. With such a beauty, you must have had a lot of competition, huh? Matsunaga-san, how did you manage to win her over?”

“Uh, well, that’s—”

But before I could give a casual response, Isezaki-san spoke up.

“No, I was the one who fell for him first. My husband… when I was going through the toughest times, he was there for me, comforting and supporting me.”

Saying so, Isezaki-san gazed at me intently.

Her eyes were moist, holding onto some important memories, different from when she was telling Lady Levia about their acquaintance. Of course, I have no memory of such a thing. It seems like a new scenario has been created again, but I must say, I’m impressed by Isezaki-san’s acting skills.

“Man, Matsunaga-san, you’re too enviable. Being single is too tough. I’ve gotta distract myself with some meat at least. Hey, you guys eating over there!?”

“Yeeahh!”

Turning on his heel, the leader now called out to the adventurers. He’s quite the busy person. Being a leader seems tough.

As I looked around while eating skewers, a grand feast, akin to a drinking party, was already unfolding.

Although there’s no smell of alcohol, everyone seems drunk on the atmosphere alone. Despite just starting, it’s already lively.

Men competing to eat as much meat as possible. A skinny man passionately discussing cola. An ax wielder desperately trying to woo a female archer.

And before I knew it, Geeta and Cyril were getting cozy in the shade.

The parties I experienced after becoming a working adult were more like sessions of complaining, but this was different, a lively and refreshing atmosphere.

It might get tiring if it happens every time, but occasionally, this kind of gathering is also enjoyable.

And so, the feast with the adventurers continued late into the night—

After thoroughly enjoying the feast and seeing Isezaki-san off to the carriage, we were greeted by Lady Levia, who muttered with a sulky expression, “Looks like you had a lot of fun,” as we stood in front of the carriage.
