World Guide - Side I Book Entry
From time to time, hordes of "Demonic Scorpions" appear in Dragonia territory, and there have been occasions when they have ravaged the farms of monsters and their husbands. However, when the Order of the Dragon Knights began to develop, together we immediately began to fight them. In such cases, captured demonic arthropods are used whole as ingredients: after proper preparation, they are roasted on a dragon fire, served along with various sauces to diversify the taste of the demonic scorpion. The hard shell that covers the scorpions has a tangy flavor, so it is carefully baked to become a crispy crust. The meat inside the arthropod is so soft and supple that it is impossible to imagine that it belonged to the scorpion, and its taste reminds you of the best products of the sea, such as crabs and shrimp. The most important feature of this dish is the exquisite interweaving of flavors while chewing on the crispy "shell" and the meaty "body" of the scorpion, as they can have different flavors due to being baked on a dragon fire. For example, a scorpion roasted in a regular dragon fire will have a spicy crust and a very nutritious fatty body, which will increase the vitality of whoever eats it. On the other hand, a demonic scorpion cooked in the pink flames of a Jabberwock will have a shell as sweet as a cookie, and the meat will take on a texture like that of a hard fruit because of the temperature, and will bestow a sense of sweet euphoria on whoever eats it. This dish, with a flavor that varies greatly depending on the character of the dragoness preparing it, is known as a delicacy that can only be eaten at limited times when demonic scorpions swoop down on Dragonia en masse. The day after the Dragon Knights successfully capture all the arthropods, rows of stalls open selling baked scorpions, and a festival ensues in Dragonia. At first glance, baked scorpion looks like a simple dish, but as of late it has become widely known in Dragonia. All a couple of dragon knights have to do to send the tasty treat into their mouths is grab the scorpion and bake it until it's golden brown. However, both grabbing and broiling are extremely complicated acts that require skill, and there is no guarantee that this dish can be cooked even during the big catch.

First of all, the demonic scorpions of Dragonia are very cowardly and are quick to run off at will, and shoot lust magic at anyone who gets close to them. It is very difficult to catch enough of them for cooking. The second problem is roasting. Though there are some human-sized demonic scorpions, they are mostly small, more suited to insects. And if we can't get a good aim with our dragon's breath, the scorpion will be partially burned. And the third problem is the scorpion's magical power, or rather its so-called "poison". If you just roast a captured scorpion by force, then its magical power will remain in the body and, when it is eaten, those who eat it will get so excited that they can't taste and enjoy the meal. Only when the couple can solve all these problems, through the cooperation of the dragon knight and her rider, and together capture the demonic scorpion and then cook it in the kitchen, does this dish become a symbol of their love. Um... if it's okay with you, I'd like to ask you to bake something with my breath this year...♥ ~ A tour of Dragonia by newbie guide Leia ~
