Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

"surprise?"

Gordon was stunned when he heard this. Ted didn't mention it, but he had really forgotten that before the hunt started, the latter had said that the so-called "super-premium crab roe" was just one of the purposes of hunting the famous shield crab.

The second purpose is this "surprise".

"Quickly, let's peel off this Daimyo shield crab together. I deliberately didn't damage its right claw. I was careful to remove it completely, as well as the shell and claws. I also tried to collect as much as possible.

Oh, by the way, don’t forget the dragon skull, pick out the strong parts, I think the horn is good, and the lower jaw, so it’s almost enough to scrape together the materials!”

Gordon was confused as he worked with Ted, not knowing why the latter collected these materials. It seemed that he was making armor? Or weapons?

He doesn't need to use the dragon armor set and weapons, right?

Could it be that...?

"Hey, you call me brother, brother, I have to prepare some gifts for you." Carefully picking up the complete crab claw that was almost as tall as a person, Ted chuckled and said, "This is from the same period as us.

A great swordsman told us.

It is said that using the materials of the Daimyo Shield Crab, a pretty good sword can be made, one that can walk sideways in front of three-star monsters.

With these materials, the materials should be almost complete. After returning to the city, you can go to the workshop to build it. It should be much stronger than the explosive knife you are using now!"

Is this really the weapon material you prepared for yourself?

Gordon scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. To be honest, he was quite touched.

My luck in hunting is not very good, but when it comes to meeting people, I often have good luck.

After leaving his hometown and coming to Minagard, whether it was the president, Oshula, Amos, the workshop owner, or Miles, Ted, and others he met later, they all provided him with a lot of help.

I don’t know when these favors will be repaid.

"Thank you! Brother Ted, I will accept it without any courtesy!"

"Hey, hey, no need to be polite, you should have a share in this. You can move these things back to the camp first, and I will continue to look for shield crabs!

The best crab roe, I’m here!”

...

Just a few minutes after returning to the Minagarde Hunter Gathering Hall, Ted was picked up by Miles, who had returned from their mission a day earlier.

This stern father could guess what his innocent son, who never seemed to have grown up, did when he went to the Metabe Forest to ask what mission Ted had taken.

Eating, drinking and having fun in a hunting ground like a vacation? Haha, you need education.

Seeing Ted being dragged away as he loudly defended himself, Gordon sneered and warmed up to the former in his heart. It was better not to touch the bad luck of Miles in the strict instructor mode.

Urshula is the best example. The heroic huntress in the past is now like a little apprentice who has been tortured crazy by homework, lying motionless on the wine table.

With no time to rescue and comfort these two brothers and sisters, Gordon also has troubles to face - he doesn't know what happened to Pork Chop, who was fostered at Tiggy's place?

In fact, it's not quite right to say "foster care". Pig Chop is fully capable of taking care of itself. It has the key to the cabin and can use its belongings freely. Tiggy is just entrusted by him to take care of the little one.

At that time, Gordon thought that Tiggy liked pork chop so much that he would take good care of it. However, after thinking about it later, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be a big problem with this choice...

Gordon met them in the staff rest area.

It happened to be lunch break now, and Ti Ji was taking a rest while drinking a drink, while Pork Chop, who was inexplicably wearing funny pajamas, was held tightly in his arms like a doll.

Although, the little guy is smooth and looks like he has gained a lot of weight. His diet is obviously taken care of very well, but looking at his hopeless look, he seems to be not living a good life mentally.

She almost never let go of her hand in the past few days, and even the president couldn't do anything about her. He said euphemistically: "This is to fulfill the agreement with Gordon."

Noticing Gordon walking towards them, Tikki's face was filled with disappointment.

"Huh~? Why are you back?"

Gordon's face turned dark when he heard this. What do you mean by "Why did you come back?" How dare you expect me to hang out at the hunting ground so that I can inherit my cat?

Originally, I was worried that Pork Chop would be angry because he didn't take it with him when he went on "vacation". Who knew that when the little guy saw him, he felt like he had met his savior.

His limbs and claws were twitching wildly, and his cry for help, "Meow Meow Meow", was aggrieved and had a hint of misery.

"How heartless." Noticing that Pork Chop was struggling to get out of her arms, Tiji muttered with some dissatisfaction: "Aren't you having a lot of fun at your sister's house these days?"

"No meow!" Pig Chop screamed and retorted: "You locked the door and wouldn't let me leave, meow!"

Gordon: "..."

Although the waitress showed great reluctance and repeatedly suggested that she could "take care of" the pork chop for a few more days, Gordon still decisively took the little guy away.

What Gordon didn't expect was that after all this trouble, Pork Chop's intimacy with him would not decrease but increase.

The days spent with Tiggy made Pork Pat, who aspired to become a "hardcore Ellu", see what "life in dire straits" meant. In comparison, the days of hunting with Master Gordon were like paradise.

I always love hunting cats!

Return to the cabin with the pork chop.

Although Pork Chop was not angry with him, Gordon still took out the best crab roe in his bag as an apology.

The best crab roe boiled in animal fat and added with a lot of salt can be stored for a period of time. Although the taste is not as fresh and sweet as when it is fresh, and there is a hint of fishy smell unique to aquatic products, I still like the pork chop very much.

Dip the dried fish in crab roe sauce and chew it until your mouth turns red.

"There is actually a crab as big as a house, meow?" While eating dried crab roe and fish, Gordon told about the pork chops he saw during this mission, and he was surprised by the size of the Daimyo shield crab.

"Crab claws and legs like that must be very enjoyable to eat, meow!"

When Gordon heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

It’s not that he thought the pork chop was greedy, but he thought so too at the time. Unfortunately, the facts told him that bigger crabs are not more delicious.

The meat of the Daimyo shield crab is tough and tasteless, and the fibers in your mouth feel like chewing rubber. There is really nothing to eat. On the contrary, the meat of the ordinary shield crab is chewy and delicious, and there is a lot of it.

You can almost make a pot of it.

He and Ted ate a lot at the beach, and tried both grilled and boiled. After trying it, the crab shell grilled with crab claw meat and crab roe was the most delicious. Next time I have a chance, I might try it with pork chop.

"What is that, meow?"

While they were chatting, Pork Chop suddenly noticed the pile of luggage packed with oilcloth piled beside Gordon's bed, and asked curiously.

"Ah, this is it!" Gordon happily opened the luggage, revealing a huge crab claw that was almost two meters high. "This is the claw of the famous shield crab!"

"What a big crab claw!" Pork Chop excitedly approached and looked at the crab claws from the base.

Gordon immediately saw through the pork chop's idea and reminded: "We have already removed the meat, otherwise it will rot."

"That's it, meow..."

The pork chop suddenly became a little disappointed, and its ears even fell off.

"The meat of this thing is not delicious. It is too old. I will take you to eat delicious shield crab next time!"

"Great! So, do these big crab claws have any other uses?"

"Hey, this is my new weapon!"

"Using crab claws to make swords??!"
