「グルルゥ」 レイがミスティリングから取り出した魔石……ではなく、オー

「グルルゥ」

レイがミスティリングから取り出した魔石……ではなく、オークやその上位種の肉を見てセトが喉を鳴らす。
オークを倒した直後は死体をそのままミスティリングへと入れていたのだが、エルクに手伝って貰って素材を剥ぎ取ったり魔石を取り出したりした時にセトがその肉を食べたそうに眺めているのを見て、エルクがついでとばかりに適当な大きさに切り分けてくれていたのだ。
……もっとも、その時は色々と忙しかったせいもあってセトがその肉を食べる機会はお預けとなったのだが。
一応分類的には亜人となるオークだが、当然この世界ではそんなのは関係ないとばかりに……否、ランクDのオークやその上位種達の肉は一般に出回っている低ランクモンスターの肉よりも魔力を多く含んでいるので美味であり、街中の肉屋でもそれなりに取り扱ってはいるとレイはエルクに聞かされていた。

「ほらっ！」

オークの集落から街に戻って2日。宿で貰える食事や餌付けしてくれる街の住民や冒険者達から貰った食べ物だけでは足りなかったのか、セトはポンと放り投げられたオークの肉をそのクチバシで器用に咥えて飲み込んでいく。

（魔石の吸収は、取りあえずセトが一段落してからだな）

オークの肉を美味そうに食べるセトを眺めていると、レイもまた夕暮れの小麦亭で昼食を食べてからそれ程経っていないというのに腹の虫が自己主張してきたので、木から枝を一本切り取ってオークの肉を刺して地面へと突き刺す。
近くに落ちている枯れ木を集めて魔法を使い火をおこしてオークの串焼きにし、ミスティリングから取り出した塩を表面に軽く振って口へと運ぶ。

「確かに美味いな」

オーク自体がDランクとそれなりのランクで魔力が高い影響もあって肉の味が濃い。その為、塩のみというシンプルな味付けで存分に肉の味を堪能出来た。

「グルゥ……」

それまで生肉を貪るように食べていたセトだったが、魔の森から出る時の野営で火を通したウォーターベアの肉を食べており、街中でも串焼きは良く食べていた。それ故にオークの串焼き肉を食べているレイへと羨ましげに喉の奥で鳴き、それを見て苦笑したレイがセトの分の串焼きを作ってやるのだった。





「グルゥ」

ミスティリングの中に入っていたオークの肉を数頭分程食べて満足したのか、セトが満足気に鳴く。
その頭を撫でながら少しの間休憩し、林の中を流れていく風を感じる。
緑の匂いが香る風を堪能し、耳を澄ませば聞こえるのは鳥や虫、あるいは何らかの獣やモンスターの鳴き声。そんな声を聞きつつ、レイはミスティリングからオークの魔石を取り出す。
オークの魔石はギルドにその殆どを売り払ったが、セトとデスサイズ用に一応2個程取っておいたのだ。

「……よし。休憩終了っと。セト、魔石の吸収を始めるぞ」
「グルゥ！」

セトもまた、魔石を吸収すれば己の力が増すというのを理解しているのでレイの言葉を聞き嬉しげに鳴く。

「まずはこの通常のオークの魔石だ。……一応ランクEのゴブリンの希少種でもスキルを覚えられたんだから、可能性はあると思うが……セト！」

声を掛け、セトの方へと魔石を放り投げる。
それをクチバシで器用に受け取り、そのまま飲み込むが……スキルを習得した時のようなアナウンスメッセージが特に流れることもなく、特に変化は無かった。

「何も起きない、か」
「グルゥ」

残念そうに鳴くセト。
一応念の為にとセトのスキル覧を脳裏に浮かべるが、そこにあるのは相変わらず水球とファイアブレスの2つのみだ。

「スキルの習得はどういう基準なんだろうな？」

呟きつつ残り1つのオークの魔石を宙へと放り、デスサイズで一閃する。
その刃で2つに分断され、煙のように消え去るが……やはりデスサイズもスキルを習得することは出来なかった。
