Chapter 24 – Delicious Meals
A short while later, Larry, Menchi, Gardevoir, and Gengar sat around a round table, ready to dig in. Initially, the plan had been to capture a regular Pale Fang Scorpion, which would have been plenty for just the two of them. However, the unexpected catch of the Pale Fang Scorpion King, nearly twice the size, meant there was more than enough to share.hat could lead them to overconsume beyond their physical limits. The rich energy contained within the Pale Fang Scorpion King could prove too much for an ordinary body to handle.
On the market, most ingredients available were below B-rank, with B-rank ingredients considered rare and difficult to obtain. Their scarcity was due not only to their rarity in the wild but also because very few people could actually consume them. Only those with Nen abilities or individuals with extremely high status and access to top-tier security could indulge in such luxury.
As Larry and Menchi finished their meal, a soft rustling sound caught their attention. A small group of Dune tapirs had gathered around them, drawn by the irresistible aroma. The creatures had black skin with a distinctive yellow stripe running across their bellies, their large ears twitching curiously. Their faces resembled rabbits, but their plump bodies and round bellies gave them the appearance of miniature boars. Due to their cute looks and easygoing nature, dune tapirs were commonly kept as pets in desert regions.
Larry and Menchi exchanged amused glances before deciding to toss the scraps to the eager creatures. “Here you go,” Larry said, chuckling as he watched the tapirs devour the leftovers with loud, pig-like snorts. “Alright, that’s enough of that,” he muttered, and with a nod, Gardevoir used her teleportation ability to move the dune tapirs—and their meal—far from their camp.
With a gentle pink glow, the dune tapirs vanished, reappearing in a distant area, still oblivious to their sudden change in location as they continued happily munching away. As the last traces of their meal faded, Menchi dissolved the materialized kitchen tools with a snap of her fingers.
