As we all know, El has one redeeming quality: he keeps his word.

As mentioned before, I will remember the name of the first monster I eat, so that they can also be remembered by future generations.

That's exactly what he did. Look, there's the slime called Blue Dumpling, the minotaur called Bull Number One, and the gargoyle called Stone Lump.

Since he didn't know their specific names, he could only name them based on their appearance.

But none of these monsters had any objections!

(Monster: Indeed, I have no objection.)

"That way, whenever someone opens this cookbook in the future, they will remember that some monsters have made contributions to food culture."

Now, it's time for El's meal again.

Looking at the food in front of him, he sighed slightly. He seemed to have been hunting too frequently lately, and the number of monsters around the vampire castle had decreased sharply.

He was like a sheep hunter, grabbing a sheep and pulling it out as hard as he could, not knowing how long he could keep doing it.

"If only I had a way to raise monsters, to capture a group of monsters and keep them under control in one place."

Provide basic feed, such as slimes, and harvest a batch once they've multiplied to a certain extent..."

By sustainably depleting resources, one can ensure a continuous supply of food.

While El was busy hunting, cooking, and spying on vampires, the sheriff, who had previously vowed to exterminate the vampires and restore order to the surrounding area, was also not idle.

Request support from surrounding towns, recruit powerful mages, warriors, and other skilled individuals, and raise funds for purchasing items, paying militia members, etc.

The process went relatively smoothly; after all, the presence of a vampire made it clear how dangerous it was for other towns.

The monster that El estimated he could defeat was a powerful being in the eyes of others, the kind that could easily wipe out a town.

It would be ideal if the monster threat could be contained within a certain range.

Having obtained the money and the people, the sheriff began his operation, the first step of which was to deal with the monsters in the surrounding villages.

"boom……"

"Moo!"

As a fireball exploded, a minotaur who had been rampaging along the edge of the village, restrained by an assassin's skillful maneuvering, swayed and slowly collapsed.

The fireball exploded and hit the minotaur in the chest, tearing the monster apart. The shockwave also made the minotaur dizzy and unable to fight back.

Next, it was the assassin's turn to make his move. He raised his dagger and stabbed the minotaur three times in the neck and eyes.

"Pfft..."

Drawing their weapons and creating distance, the surrounding adventurers knew their battle was over.

The assassin's dagger was coated with a deadly poison.

"It's done. Such a huge minotaur, the sheriff will give us a lot of gold coins."

The assassin leaned against a large tree to rest; he was the most exhausted from the battle.

By constantly taunting and maneuvering, the minotaur was pulled out of the village, while also giving the mage time to cast spells...

"Indeed, it's relatively easy. Monsters are active, but the monster density in one place isn't high."

Moreover, the intelligence report mentioned gargoyles, but we didn't encounter a single one, making me worry for nothing.

The mage, who was in charge, breathed a sigh of relief. Their team was fully equipped, but the gargoyles were indeed difficult to deal with.
