Chapter 1, Scene 3.


 * Muzuri: "Which is this rare animal gift?"


 * Muzuri asked the man on livestock duty as soon as he entered the barn. The man immediately tells him this is it here, saying he'd never seen the pig before. He points to the pigsty.


 * They kept about twenty pigs of various types that could be found in the southern Beelzenian Empire.The Demilamb pig was the best to eat. It had some blubber but had wonderful features and a beautiful white coat.


 * The shadow moon pig was a cross between the native Marlon species and the Demilamb pig. It had practically no hair. Although it lacked as much redness to its meat, it could be processed and combined with other ingredients that really brought out its taste.


 * The Tasan pig had black flur. You could say the meat was bad by smell and cook couldn't help you there. But, the internal organs are a different matter entirely. The heart, liver, intestines, stomach...... they are had  unique taste unlike anything.


 * The moment Muzuri saw this "rare pig", he got excited.


 * Muzuri: "That'sThere's not doubt about it! That's a baemu!!"


 * Livestock Dude: "B-Baemu..... You say?"


 * Muzuri says he doesn't expect them (guy and Ron) to recognize it as they are ignorant of the knowledge of delicious food.


 * Narration explains that it was actually Muzuri's first time seeing a baemu but he had heard the rumors of the pig with the red hair like flames and horns at the temple.


 * The other pigs int he sty were afraid of the baemu, perhaps out of respect for him..... or maybe it was a woman-regardless, they kept their distance.


 * LIvestock Dude: "My Lord, do you know about that red pig?"


 * Muzuri: "That...... The baemu is a kind of Tasan pig. It rarely appears before human beings so farming them is impossible. Among gourmands, it is a valuable pig referred to as the "legendary pig"."


 * Livestock guy is a little surprised about the legendary part, and then says essentially "as expected of my Lord" to know these details. He's impressed, staring at the red pig while nodding.


 * Livestock Dude: "So I guess the taste is pretty delicious."


 * Muzuri: "That I don't know."


 * Livestock Dude: "Huh!?"


 * Muzuri: "I, nor any acquaintance of mine, has ever actually eaten this baemu. But, it's been said that the Emperor of the Great Empire (ie, Tasan Empire) was very fond of eating it. Since he tried to overhunt it, it's numbers also decreased."


 * Livestock Duty: "Such a rare pig...... I wonder who in the world sent it?"


 * Muzuri: "Indeed. What did the cartman who brought it in say?"


 * Livestock: "It seems he didn't know as well. When he noticed, it was riding in his carriage before he knew it." He continues on to say that the gift for Banica were already loaded up there so he went with it as is.


 * Muzuri: "Hmmm, really....."


 * Muzuri gave it some thought, put an arm on his chin and closed his eyes for a bit. They then snapped open and he cried towards the heavens.


 * Muzuri: "......I know it! This is surely a gift from God!"


 * Livestock Dude: "Y-Yeah!?"


 * Muzuri: "The giver is unknown, meaning that the wild baemu got on the carriage by chance...... It would be natural to think so." He goes onto to say that food was already provided with their other livestock, so no one would send it.


 * Livestock guy is confused but Muzuri is certain that it has to be a gift from god. He says that god, to celebrate Banica's birth, has rewarded his daily good deeds by giving him the baemu. He has decided that must be it.


 * Livestock Dude: "......Perhaps so." He gives up trying to refute Muzuri. Muzuri's reached his conclusion and isn't going to listen to anyone's words anymore.


 * Muzuri then tells him they'll use the baemu for dinner tonight. The livestock guy suggests maybe waiting for giving to the others a chance to come and see the debut of Lady Banica but Muzuri refutes it.


 * He doesn't want Duke Oruhari and Earl Vincent to go to the great pains just to eat it (plus he wants to boast to them about eating it later). The livestock guy won't try refuting him again and will respect Muzuri's food expertise. Plus, if he spoke out a poor opinion at this point, his head might roll.


 * Muzuri: "All right! Carry this baemu to the kitchen!!"


 * Without actually waiting for the livestock guy's reply, Muzuri was already running off to the kitchen.
