“Day 48 / Day 58” Many restaurants are crowded on Tenzen no Mon-dori Street. Cocos that are not exaggerated to say that they support the stomachs of the [believers] of the Madaralen Mission City, which have a wide variety of dishes from all over the world-from ordinary dishes to spooky dishes-are naturally prosperous. I was The streets are full of appetizing scents, filled with clerks calling out loud and customers waiting in line. I continued to eat and order all the dishes as I was invited to go around each house. The dishes are really varied, but to give a few examples:

"Ge Leon" is a dish made of a plump, bluish-green frog. Peel off the poisoned skin, remove the internal organs, and put a mixture of herbs and diluted skin poison inside and bake. Although the tongue is slightly numb with slight residual poison, you can enjoy the refreshing taste and rich smell of frog meat. "Nagoremar" Chicken marinated in a seasoning such as sweet soy sauce and steamed on a skewer. Whether chicken is special or seasoning is good, it is most suitable for a knob of sake anyway, and there is a taste that can eat many bottles. “Napoleia Fire Egg” A dish made with magic insect eggs that are about the size of a palm. It is made by stabbing an injector into a soft shell, pouring a red liquid blended with various ingredients, and cooling it once. When you chew it, you can enjoy the spicyness that runs over the mouth. "Zabzab" Cooking using seafood, insects and vegetables. It is similar to a bouillabaisse, but with some extra fat caterpillars. The caterpillars also look like shrimp, so they have little bitterness and a creamy, rich taste. "Great Mesh" A dish made with a wide variety of fresh vegetables. It is colorfully colored such as green, yellow and red, and has a slightly sour dressing. It would be perfect if you want to enjoy the taste of fresh vegetables. “Puri-op-pu-pu” is a dish that enjoys brain miso with the skull of a monster as a container. The skull is cut open, seasoned, and baked. It is surprisingly delicious when you actually eat it. “Sensensan vegetarian cuisine” vegetarian cuisine using medicinal herbs. It is made of only rare ingredients that grow only in unexplored areas. If you eat while training, you can reach [Sennin]. The taste is not very good, but the magic and vitality of the body is great. However, it was lucky to eat it because it was very expensive and often lacked ingredients.

―― There were many other dishes. Everything can be eaten deliciously, and many houses are dominated without a break. The number of galleries to visit on a long roll has increased, but even though they continued to eat without worrying, they were introduced to a restaurant with a gluttony menu. It's free if you can eat food for dozens of people in time.

Of course, we will try.

Enjoying delicious food is a hobby, but now it makes sense to eat.

At present, abilities and nanomachines are mainly working for treating and regenerating my injuries.

In the previous life, physical strengthening by remodeling surgery was added to it, but now it is unknown whether the effect of the operation remains. That's true for nanomachines, but they're definitely there because they're reproduced.

Anyway, abilities and nanomachines must be important elements of vitality, but it is difficult to make something from nothing. Not impossible, but very inefficient. That's why I chose to eat a lot to take in the ingredients. Nutrition and calories are taken in by eating a large amount, and the excess is accumulated with abilities such as [energy storage] and [calorie charge] and nanomachines, and used as a material when something happens. Separately, ingredients can be obtained from inorganic materials, but it is easier to store energy quickly by eating food.

And if you eat it anyway, it's better to eat it better.

That's why I have been eating since yesterday, but I decided to stop once I had thirty stores with a gluttony menu.

He had enough energy, so it was time to move on. You will be guided by a well-built male believer who has become friends during the gluttony, and buys information at a temple run by a follower of [God of Information]. The gluttony menu will be free if you complete it within a certain time. As a result, the funds were much longer than expected, so I bought a little more information on the capabilities, behavioral patterns, and peripheral information of the current target, the Astrakium, the anti-detonation-controlled Emperor.

However, contrary to expectations, I found very little.

The ancient detonation controlled Emperor AstrakiumIt is said that it is located on the top of the designated silver tower, which is called [Sacred Place] called ≫. A certain mural depicts the existence of them, but since no one has actually survived the challenge, the shape is unknown. Of course, no abilities are known. However, the use of explosion or lightning can be expected from the name. May also have flight capabilities. In addition, it seems that the Balance Harmony Tower itself is a very dangerous area, and is a nest of countless high-level dungeon monsters. It is a difficult place suitable for becoming a [sacred place], and the believers will challenge it, spend a certain amount of time, raise the ladder by surviving-raising the status as a [religion] within a variety of meanings -Or something. I don't know much, but if you know where you are, you can just look at it for yourself.

Since the future policy was decided, I decided to look around for equipment. The items that the believers made to devote the faith. There are so many masterpieces that the soul is worth it, so it was a great opportunity to get better weapons.

“四十八日目　／　五■十八■目” ≪天食の門前通り≫には数多くの料理店が密集している. 世界中の料理――普通の料理からゲテモノ料理まで幅広く――が揃い、≪マドラレン宣教都≫の【信者】達の胃袋を支えていると言っても過言では無いココは当然のように繁盛していた. 通りには食欲をそそる匂いが満ち、声を出して客を呼ぶ店員、列をなして順番を待つ客で溢れている. 俺は誘われるまま一軒ずつ回りながら、全ての料理を注文しては喰い続けていった. 料理は実に様々だが、幾つか例を出すと――

“ゲ・レオン”丸々と太った青緑色のカエルを使った料理. 毒のある皮を剥ぎ、内臓を抜いて中に香草と希釈した皮の毒を混ぜた具を入れて焼く. 僅かに残る毒で多少舌がピリリと痺れるが、カエル肉のサッパリとした味と豊潤な匂いが楽しめる. “ナゴレマー”甘口の醤油のような調味料に漬け込んだ鶏肉を串で刺して蒸した料理. 鶏肉が特殊なのか、調味料がいいのか、ともかく酒のツマミに最適で、何本も喰える美味しさがある. “ナポレイアの火卵”掌程の大きさがある魔蟲の卵を使った料理. 柔らかい殻に注入器を刺し、様々な食材をブレンドした赤い液体を流して一度冷やしたもので、噛み砕くと口内を蹂躙するような激辛が楽しめる. “ザブザブ”魚介と虫と野菜を使った料理. ブイヤベースに似ているが、それに丸々と太った芋虫などが追加されている. 芋虫はエビのような見た目でもあるのでゲテモノ感は少なく、クリーミーで濃厚な味がした. “グレートメッシュ”新鮮な多種多彩な野菜で作られる料理. 緑色や黄色や赤色などカラフルに彩られ、やや酸味のあるドレッシングがかけられている. 新鮮な野菜の旨味が楽しみたい時は最適だろう. “プリ＝オププ・プ”モンスターの頭蓋骨を器にして脳味噌を楽しむ料理. 頭蓋骨の一部を切り開き、調味料を入れて焼いた見た目のインパクトは大きいだろう. 実際に喰ってみると意外と美味い. “仙泉山の精進料理”薬草とかを使った精進料理. 秘境でしか自生しないような希少な食材のみで作られ、修行しながら喰えば【仙人】へ至るとかどうとか. 味はあまりよくないが、身体に満ちる魔力や生命力の向上は素晴らしい. ただし超高額で、食材も無い場合が多いので喰えたのは運が良かった.

――などがあり、その他にも様々な料理を喰った. どれも全て美味しく食べる事ができ、休む事なく何軒も制覇しているからか、いつの間にか【大食い王】などと言われ始めている. 遠巻きに見学するギャラリーも増えてきたが、それでも気にせず喰い続けていると、大食いメニューのある店を紹介された. 数十人分の料理を時間内に食べられれば無料、というやつだ.

もちろん、挑戦していく.

美味しい料理を楽しむのは趣味だが、今は喰う事そのものにも意味がある.

現在、俺の怪我の治療や再生にはアビリティとナノマシンの二つが主に働いている.

前世はそこに改造手術による肉体強化が加わるのだが、今は手術の効果が残っているか分からない. それはナノマシンにも言える事だが、再生産したので確実にある.

ともかく、アビリティとナノマシンが生命力の重要な要素である事には違いないのだが、無から有を作る事は難しい. 出来なくは無いが、効率は非常に悪い. だから材料を取り込むため、俺は大量に喰う事を選んだ訳だ. 大量に喰う事で栄養やカロリーを取り込み、過剰な分を【エネルギー貯蔵】や【カロリーチャージ】などといったアビリティとナノマシンでため込み、何かあった時の材料にする. 別に無機物からでも材料は確保できるが、手っ取り早くエネルギーを蓄えるのは料理を喰う方が手間が少ない.

それに、どうせ喰うなら美味い方がいいに決まっている.

そんな訳で昨日から喰い続けている訳だが、大食いメニューのある店を三十軒ほど制覇したところで一度止める事にした.

エネルギーは十分すぎるほど確保できたので、そろそろ次に移る必要があったからだ. 大食いの途中で仲良くなったふくよかな体型の男性信者に案内して貰い、【情報の神】の信者が経営する神殿で情報を買う. 大食いメニューは一定時間以内に完食する事で無料になる. それにより資金は予定よりもかなり余裕があったので、今の目標である古代爆雷制調天帝“アストラキウム”の能力や行動パターン、その周辺情報を少しでも多く買い漁った.

ただ期待に反し、分かった事はとても少なかった.

古代爆雷制調天帝“アストラキウム”は≪≫と呼ばれる【聖地】指定される銀の巨塔の頂上に存在する、と言われている. とある壁画にそれらしき存在が描かれているが、実際に挑戦して生還した者がいないので姿形も分からない. もちろん能力なども一切不明. ただ名称から爆裂や雷撃などの使用が予想できる. 飛行能力もあるかもしれない. また、≪天秤の調和塔≫そのものがかなりの危険地帯らしく、無数の高レベルダンジョンモンスターの巣窟だそうだ. 【聖地】になるに相応しい難所であり、信者達はそこに挑み、一定時間を過ごし、生還する事で階梯を引き上げる――【宗教】内の地位向上から存在としての格を上げるなど意味は多岐に及ぶ――とかなんとか. 分かった事は少ないが、それでも居場所が分かれば自分の目で見ればいいだけだ.

今後の方針も決まったので、装備品などいいのがないか見て回る事にした. 【信者】達が【信仰】を捧げる為に作った品々だ. その分魂を込めたような傑作も多いので、よりよい武具を得るのは絶好の機会だった.
