Chicken is Delicious (2)

Without waiting for Natalie to applaud, Rothgarr sneered: “Six-winged flightless chickens are the best among fire type demonic creatures. Even if a two-star mage encounters one, he might not be able to walk away unscathed.”

Anna remained unconvinced: “I don’t believe it. How can it be so powerful if it looks so small? Besides, even if it is powerful, it doesn’t mean that it is delicious.”

Seeing Anna’s stubbornness, Rothgarr sneered. He grabbed the anti-scalding damp cotton cloth on the iron stick, and handed it to Anna: “Eat.”

Anna looked at Rothgarr suspiciously: “Is it actually unpalatable to the point where I’ll question my entire life, and that’s why you’re trying to trick me to eat it?”

“Won’t you know after one bite?” Rothgarr didn’t bother to talk nonsense with Anna.

Anna reluctantly said: “Okay, I’ll try it.”

As she said, she carefully tore off a chicken leg, and when Rothgarr wanted to get the iron stick back, she tore off the other chicken leg quickly and squeezed it into Natalie’s hand, who was looking eagerly.

Rothgarr: “…?”

Anna first took a small bite. The coachman’s culinary skills were not bad. The skin of the meat was peeled off, leaving only the meaty muscle. Biting down, it was crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside, and juice was still leaking out when chewing. This kind of chicken was not unpalatable at all, and the juiceshad an umami flavor; the entire body felt warm all over after eating it.

She took another big bite and turned her head to see that Natalie hadn’t started. She quickly chewed the chicken in her mouth and urged: “Why aren’t you eating it yet? It’s very delicious, eat it!” If she hesitated and the demon snatched it back carelessly it would be so sad!

Natalie let out a sound of realization and began to eat quickly.

Rothgarr looked at the two people across the fire eating very happily, and slowly realized that he seemed to have been lied to.

Of course he was angry when he was deceived, but… the fact that Anna deliberately insisted that the chicken was unpalatable just to cheat him of a chicken leg to eat, made him feel very inexplicable, yet he found it a bit funny.

If she wanted to eat it, it wasn’t like he would refuse. Why did she have so many tricks up her sleeve?

Anna quickly finished the chicken leg in her hand, and threw the bones on the edge of the fire contentedly.

It’s not that she never ate demonic creatures before. Of course, she knew that the taste of demonic creatures was something to look forward to, and the demon had specifically ordered the coachmen to catch this demonic creature; no doubt she knew it must taste good. But she was a little embarrassed to eat the food directly, so she had no choice but to use such a strategy.

After taking out a cotton handkerchief to wiping her mouth and hands, Anna looked at the demon who was looking at her indifferently. To finish the play with a pretentious expression, she admitted her mistake without hesitation: “It really is delicious, I was wrong.”

Rothgarr handed over the iron stick again with a faint smile. With a subtle tone in his voice, he said: “If it tastes good, have some more?”

Anna righteously refused: “No, thank you. This is your prey. It is my honor to be able to have a chicken leg. How can I snatch what belongs to others?”

The truth was, she was already full…She just wanted to try it; a chicken leg was enough to satisfy her curiosity!

Natalie was still eating her chicken leg in small mouthfuls. She would look up at Anna and “Raymond” from time to time, and then quickly lowered her head.

She didn’t know anything. Besides, it was Anna who gave her the chicken leg, all she had to do was sit and eat it quietly.

…Woo, this chicken leg is seriously delicious!

Rothgarr sneered, took the iron stick back, tore off a piece of chicken wings, and ate it gracefully.

Anna supported her chin with her hand and somewhat unconsciously watched, in a daze, through the firelight as the demon ate.

This demon was attractive when eating, but that was due to Raymond’s good-looking appearance, right? Good-looking people look good when doing anything. She wondered if the taste buds of the demon resembled human beings?

Rothgarr looked up and saw Anna staring at him distractedly. He couldn’t help but smile triumphantly.

Engrossed in his looks, was she?

He didn’t expose Anna, and instead, continued to slowly consume the nutrients necessary for the human body to be healthy and functioning.

Soon, Natalie also finished eating the chicken leg in her hand. Anna averted her gaze, flipping the cotton handkerchief to a clean side so that Natalie could wipe her mouth and hands. Seeing that the corners of her mouth were still stained with grease, she pointed a few times to guide her but Natalie still didn’t wipe it off. Anna just took over herself and  wiped Natalie clean with a handkerchief.

Natalie blushed a little, and said embarrassedly: “I’m too stupid.”

“It’s nothing,” Anna smiled, “Anyway, this is your handkerchief.”

Natalie couldn’t help laughing. She felt that Anna was like her older sister; it was only a pity that she didn’t have such an older sister.
