#417 - This guy is a real big shot!

Although the Gourmet Rabbit and Red-haired Pig are also rare ingredients, their quality and grade are simply incomparable to the Unicorn Bear and Hunger Bird.

In the old butler's opinion, his young master's current behavior was simply throwing away a watermelon to pick up sesame seeds.

But he was also very helpless. His young master wanted to repay a debt of gratitude, so what could he do? He could only find a way to explain the losses caused this time to the master.

“Big Brother, and Big Sister, you can just sit here and rest. I'll have them arrange everything for you properly.

These rare ingredients, are you planning to transport them back to the camp, or directly back to the city? Just say the word, and I'll definitely take care of it for you.”

Looking at Yong Saburo, who was patting his chest loudly, looking like he was very loyal, Saint and Minezaki were also stunned for a moment.

Although they did save Yong Saburo and his companions, as far as Saint and Minezaki were concerned, it was just something they did without much thought. They didn't expect these young masters to be more enthusiastic and interesting than they had imagined.

“Don't call me Big Brother anymore. My name is Wenren Saint. You can just call me Saint.

If possible, please help us transport these rare ingredients to the camp first.

Because we ourselves don't know the exact value of some of the ingredients, we need to take them back to the gourmet merchant and have the professionals there appraise them.

Also, because there's too much, we plan to sell some of it at the camp. When that happens, we'll compensate you for the losses you've incurred this time.”

The old butler, standing next to Yong Saburo, didn't take Saint's words seriously at first.

He even thought that Saint's promise to compensate his family for the losses was ridiculous.

Unicorn Bear and Hunger Bird meat are considered relatively rare and high-end ingredients in the camp. Their losses this time were almost astronomical, so what could a young man use to compensate them?

However, considering that the other party was his young master's savior, he naturally wouldn't say such rude words to his face.

“Big Brother is called Wenren Saint? That's a great name. What's Big Sister's name?”

Ever since seeing Minezaki's heroic feat of finishing off the Bat Snake, Yong Saburo had admired Minezaki immensely.

The three of them weren't short of money. The reason they wanted to become gourmet hunters was just because it was cool and they wanted to show off.

Because of their family background, their physical fitness had long been far stronger than ordinary people due to eating various rare ingredients. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to escape the Bat Snake's relentless pursuit for so long.

In Yong Saburo's eyes, Saint and Minezaki were true experts. If they were willing to teach them a trick or two, wouldn't they take off directly in the Tokyo "young master circle" in the future?

“Minezaki Yaeko…”

“Minezaki Yaeko? That's an even better name. I am Koshimaji Yong Saburo. My family runs a restaurant in Tokyo.

Big Brother Saint, don't you have a lot of rare ingredients that you don't recognize? This old man is our family's butler, and he's often responsible for helping our family purchase various rare ingredients in the camp, so he has some knowledge.

Big Brother Saint, maybe he'll recognize some of your ingredients…”

Yong Saburo and his friends were too good at handling things, and they had indeed helped him, so Saint smiled and didn't refuse their kindness.

The old butler, hearing that his young master had taken on another job for him, sighed and walked towards the ingredients that the Koshimaji family's helpers were constantly moving onto the truck.

Yong Saburo and his friends didn't mind the old butler's departure. Instead, they tried to build a good relationship with Saint and his companions, even thinking about becoming their disciples.

However, soon, the old butler's exclamation suddenly startled everyone present.

“Old Jin, what the hell are you doing? You're suddenly yelling like a ghost. Are you trying to scare people to death!”

Because they had been chased by the Bat Snake for so long, the old butler's exclamation almost gave Yong Saburo a heart attack. He even thought something unexpected had happened again.

“No, young master, this meat is… is Elephant Dragon meat, and it's the best part of its body. Not only does it cost tens of thousands of yen per 100 grams, but it's also completely priceless.

Because the Elephant Dragon is a large reptile with a capture level as high as 17, it has a similar appearance to a Brachiosaurus, but its nose is connected to its body with a pair of huge tusks.

Its meat is as delicious and chewy as bird meat. Even if it's just grilled, it can emit the most primitive aroma.

However, the most expensive thing should be its pair of huge tusks, because they can be used as exquisite works of art, so one tusk costs as much as 100 million yen.”

Although the Elephant Dragon's capture level is lower than that of the Woolly Mammoth Bear, it is not recorded in the rare ingredient encyclopedia due to its greater rarity, but the old butler had the good fortune to see it at a high-end auction before, so he knew about it.

“What? Those tusks that can't be eaten are actually worth 100 million yen each!”

Those who spoke didn't mean it, but those who heard it felt the pain. When Minezaki heard the old butler say that the Elephant Dragon's tusks were much more valuable than the meat on its body, the expression on his face was heartbroken.

Before, they all thought that since this was the gourmet world, then delicious meat should naturally be more valuable, but they didn't expect that the tusks that they disliked for not being able to be eaten were actually more valuable than the meat.

“Besides the Elephant Dragon meat, there's actually Tiger-striped Walrus, and the meat of the Strange Bird Gololu… These are all rare and high-level rare ingredients.

And most of the other meats, I can't tell what kind they are…”

In just over ten minutes, the Yong Saburo family's old butler experienced what it meant to have his eyes truly opened, and his gaze towards Saint and his companions became completely different from before.

But their young master, today, because of chance, directly met two gourmet hunters who could easily hunt high-level rare ingredients.

If their master knew about this, he wouldn't blame the young master, he would praise him!
