The other parts were used as well
As Ms. Delia had brought the herbs that were crushed, the chief was a little suspicious. I suppose I had gone a little too far…
Still, it was not enough for him to guess about my ability, so it should be fine.
Ms. Delia was smiling and wagging her tail as she agreed with .
“Wuff. Wuff…”
“Hmm. While it reminds of petting Leo, it is a little…”
I wondered what it looked like for other people. But I tried to not think about it.
Once the sun started to set, people gathered at the village center, where preparations had been made for the feast.
The people who worked in the fields, the others who went to the forest, but not to hunt etcetera. Many ca to praise us, because Ms. Delia had told them of our contribution to the hunt.
“It’s good to have young people here who can hunt an Audhumbla. If we find another one while you’re still here, you should co! We can have another feast and drink!”
“Ahaha…thank you…”
Sotis, it felt like they were mostly happy about being able to eat and drink more than anything else.
“Oh, Mr. Peter. Ah, here.”
“Sorry. I’ll give this to the field workers.”
“Well, no one eats it. And it helps that we don’t have to process it.”
“Huh?”
Mr. Peter was the old man we saw in the fields. He was currently being handed sothing by the foreman.
“Uh, what is that?”
“Ah, this…”
“It’s used in the fields.”
As I was curious, I decided to ask them about it.
According to them, it was the internal organs of the Audhumbla that were not eaten.
They were supposed to be nutritious, but were definitely an acquired taste. In this village in particular, no one ate them.
It was the sa with orcs, and so such extra parts were given to farrs like Mr. Peter, so they could be used in the fields.
“They are boiled with the remaining bones, and then left out to dry. When crushed into powder, they turn into a great fertilizer. Though, the sll is quite strong, so few people want to do that work.”
“Ah, I see.”
When I thought of fertilizer, I mostly thought of stuff like manure. But there were a lot of other kinds as well.
It really was a different culture… As I planned to work with fields, it was good to learn about such things.
“Now, a toast to being able to hunt the Audhumbla. And for the visitors who helped with the hunt.”
“Cheers!”
The food and drinks were set on the table, and then the chief’s son sat at the head and made a toast to signal the beginning of the feast.
As the wine was of the serpent variety, I decided to drink water instead. But the others were already emptying their mugs.
“Phillip, you have been drinking a lot since we ca here. But please be careful.”
“I know, Nicholas. But they offered it to . It would look strange if I didn’t drink.”
“Perhaps… No, so people cannot drink. It is not strange at all.”
However, Phillip did not really listen to Nicholas after that…
