I'm gonna fry the fish!

"Father, do you have a round shield? That was made from metal?"

Father rubs his chin while thinking deeply.

"There's one where I got after defeat Arcaen"

"You defeated the Goblin King? The one that is near the demon territory?"

Carlos didn't look amazed but he felt a bizarre creeping all over him.

"Well I was go patrolling few days ago and he demanded to handed my food that I held dearly"

Carlos's jaw dropped.

"Do you know what will happen to his underling? They are lost without their leader and they.. They go astray!"

Father look proud rather than pleaded not guilty.

"I will never hand over Vierra's precious food, she even get up early on the morning prepare it for me!"

"You killed the goblin king and now they will be lurking anywhere for food!"

Carlos looked lost, he must think that father is either crazy or an idiot.

"I didn't kill him. I just knocked him down and he will be awaken after few days"

I could hear father and Carlos arguing behind me.

But I didn't want something from a bloody scene and use it for my delicious food.

'Why do you need it?'

The blue fairy sat on my head.

'I need to deep fried the fish with lots of oil'

So what should I do? I need to figure this out quickly as I need to fry lots of fish.

"Will this be of any help to you young lady?"

A round shield with a depth was shining in Greg's hand.

"That's perfect, it has depth that could submerge the entire big fish. But…"

"It's… I just bought it at Beastland."

I promise to pay it but Greg refuses politely but he wants to have extra fish for the day.

I took a cleaned fish lightly coated with flour and waited for the olive oil to be heated.

Then I hold the fish tail and let the head down, and then drizzle the hot oil on the fish meat to help fix the shape.

"Beastland was on top of the Blue Mountain?"

I looked at Carlos who now jumped from his chair.

Since it was named 'Beastland', I thought it was a small city on a wide land.

Apparently, it's actually a city that was built on the peak of a mountain called 'Blue Mountain' .

I could understand why mother insisted us going there by using the portal.

No wonder the teleport magic was really crucial for merchants.

My wandering thoughts were disrupted by Carlos who tapped my shoulder lightly.

"It was a very satisfying meal."

Carlos wink at me as he fixed his shirt.

He needed to rush back to the tournament after spending the entire day at the inn.

Carlos set his foot on the mid air portal and waved his hand idly before he and the portal vanished into thin air.

"He would jump and run on the mid air"

"I want to learn it too. Father teach me!"

Lorcan was excited when he heard it, but before father could say yes to Lorcan mother put her spoon on her plate.

She didn't have to say anything but the whole room suddenly became quiet.

"The tournament will probably end in a few days."

Mother wipes her mouth with the silk napkin and everyone eats in silence.

"We need to prepare for the upcoming merchant and trader "

"You right dear. Lorcan no knight training. We need to help your mother"

Father laughs out loud while everyone smiles and continues eating.

On the long table, in the middle of the hall everyone looks like they can't get enough with the sweet sour fish.
