Starting with Food Wars, I'll be sourcing delicacies from all realms.

They only traded ingredients with the Red Demon Clan.

……

After the transaction was completed, Ximen Yan naturally left as soon as possible.

After saying goodbye to Xiaomi.

Ximen Yan found out the location of the Demon King's City by asking someone.

Then Ximen Yan walked in the opposite direction.

He's not some hero who came to defeat the Demon King.

He was just a supplier who came to collect ingredients.

Without a doubt, the closer you get to the Demon King's castle, the more soldiers there will be, and the fewer monsters there will be.

The fewer monsters there are, the fewer ingredients he can collect, right?

Therefore, he naturally had to avoid the direction of the Demon King's castle.

As Ximenyan gradually moved away from the Red Demon Clan village.

The number of monsters gradually increased.

Ximen Yan immediately got to work.

As one monster after another was captured.

A satisfied smile appeared on Ximen Yan's face.

However, just as Ximen Yan spent some time capturing a griffin.

Suddenly, I felt a slight tremor in the ground.

This made Ximen Yan's expression excited.

As an experienced food supplier.

Ximenyan is certain that the ground tremors were caused by some kind of large creature.

Generally speaking, large creatures are very powerful.

As an ingredient, it is naturally of a higher grade.

of course there are exceptions.

As for the specifics, we'll only know after the capture.

"Light wind!"

Ximen Yan waved his hand, and a gust of wind enveloped him. 190

Then he gently lifted up Ximen Yan.

Soon Ximenyan had surpassed the treetop.

Looking around, Ximen Yan quickly spotted his target.

A giant tortoise the size of a small hill.

A tree over a hundred meters tall grows on its back.

While he was observing, Ximen Yan's eyes were suddenly flashed by a light.

Look carefully.

There were several golden apples hanging on that tree!

"It's still an apple tree."

"It's such a big apple tree, but it doesn't produce enough apples."

Ximen Yan muttered a couple of words.

However, they had no intention of letting it go.

He had, however, tasted the golden apple from the world of Gourmet Captives.

I wonder what the golden apples in the world of Konosuba taste like.

Ximen Yan was very curious.

So Ximen Yan chose to satisfy his curiosity.

They knocked the turtle unconscious; they didn't know what kind of turtle it was.

Simon did not immediately pick the golden apple.

Instead, they checked the golden apple tree and the tortoise.

It was discovered that this golden apple tree and the tortoise were practically one and the same.

Both of them perished.

Then Ximen Yan took out a golden apple and took a bite.

The crisp and sweet taste pleased Ximen Yan very much.

Such high-quality Golden Apple Ximenyan would naturally not let it pass by.

So Ximen Yan added the tortoise and the golden apple tree to his food world.

Chapter 499 Yoyo

We spent another ten days or so in the wild.

Ximen Yan's gains can be described as enormous.

However, after wandering around for a while, Ximen Yan felt that he had arrived near a human town.

That's why I think that way.

This was because Ximen Yan discovered that the number of monsters was gradually decreasing, and at the same time, he also discovered traces of many pedestrians.

Ximen Yan had no idea where he had arrived.

I just realized that I had been in the wild for more than ten days.

So they decided to rest in town for a while.

We will continue purchasing ingredients after that.

So Ximen Yan began to follow the tracks left by the pedestrians.

They soon discovered a town.

After making inquiries, Ximen Yan learned the name of the town—Ktalon.

It is a town located near the wilderness.

Ktalon also has an Adventurers' Guild.

Therefore, after entering the town, Ximen Yan went directly to the Adventurers' Guild.

We ordered some food and drinks at the guild's bar.

Ximen Yan started eating.

Although he has been in this world for some time now.

It seems I haven't tried any of the cuisine from the world of Konosuba yet.

This is a good opportunity to try it.

Soon, Simone finished all the food and drinks.

The taste was alright.

However, it still can't compare to the dishes he makes himself.

After paying, Ximen Yan went to the Adventurers' Guild's bulletin board.

Let's check what tasks are available.

Of course, Ximen Yan had no intention of doing the mission.

He just wanted to see if there were any monsters worth capturing from the quests.

After reviewing the task once.

Ximen Yan actually had an unexpected gain.

There is a lake near Ktalon, and recently a powerful unidentified monster has appeared in the lake.

The town's top-ranked adventurer teams went to hunt down the monster, but returned empty-handed.

Furthermore, the true identity of the monster has not yet been discovered.

All that is known is that the monster was enormous and had very long tentacles.

The adventurer team that took on the mission was defeated by the monster's tentacles.

We didn't even see the monster's true form.

Keltalon is not a beginner's village.

The adventurers here are quite capable.

It can defeat a top-ranked adventurer team.

That monster is still quite powerful.

This naturally aroused Ximenyan's curiosity.

We're going to catch that monster.

Having set his goal, Ximen Yan did not hesitate and headed directly towards the lake location provided by the Adventurers' Guild.

……

It took some time to reach the lake where the target monster was located.

However, they discovered that a team of five adventurers had already come to subdue them.

What Ximen Yan was more concerned about was Youyou, the Crimson Demon Archmage in this adventurer team.

This made Ximen Yan feel that he had a special connection with the Red Demon Clan.

The first person I met was Huihui.

Then, aimlessly capturing monsters, they ended up in the village of the Crimson Demon Clan.

Now I've met Youyou again.

What else could this be but fate!

However, compared to other Crimson Demons...

Ximen Yan was still somewhat curious about Youyou, the only normal person among the Red Demon Clan.

Ximen Yan sized up Youyou.

At this moment, Youyou was wearing a black robe and a black cloak, holding a silver magic wand, and had a short sword at her waist.

She was plump and mature-looking, and was staring at the lake with a serious expression.

It looks very reliable.

But in reality!

As the daughter of the Crimson Demon Clan's patriarch, Youyou is destined to inherit the patriarch's position in the future.

Actually, he has always behaved very strangely (normally) since childhood.

I can't understand the Red Demon Clan's cool (and chuunibyou) thought process.

They are considered by the Crimson Demon Clan to be strange beings with mental problems.

Therefore, I cannot make friends.

This led to some feelings of inferiority.

It seems that they are doing a raiding mission together with a few other people.

However, Ximen Yan still noticed that Youyou was somewhat distant from the others.
