“Are skybats edible?”

“I dunno. I don’t remember ever eating one before—hell, I don’t remember ever being able to kill one.”

When Dahlia rejoined the larger group, the monster’s wings had already been cut off. The knights sounded like they were still hungry, though that dark blue flesh hardly made her mouth water. A ways away from them was Randolph, who gently closed the eyelids on the skybat’s head; being stared at by the dead monster was probably a little uncomfortable.

“Dahlia, is there any part of the skybat you would like?” Before she could tell him what the captain had said, Volf offered the monster to her with a big smile.

“Yeah, Ms. Dahlia, no need to be shy. If you want, take the whole thing!”

“No, I couldn’t!” Volf was presenting her with a rare opportunity, but it wouldn’t have been right to take the whole monster without having any purpose for it. It was said that the skybat’s bones aided flight, but her illustrated bestiary also said the bones weren’t very sturdy or magically potent, making them unsuitable even for longbows. That said, she was interested in the material. “If it wouldn’t trouble everyone, may I have a few bones?”

“Certainly. We will send them to the Adventurers’ Guild once the skybat is frozen, then it should be another two, three days until they completely break down the monster and have it delivered to Masters Dahlia and Jonas.”

“Huh?”

“Sorry?” Jonas and Dahlia questioned the sudden use of the title.

Griswald must’ve expected their reactions—he had a smirk on his face. “The squad has discussed this. Not only is there a member of our squad with the surname Goodwin, we shall continue to ask both of you to lend us your technical prowess, so please allow us to address you as Master Dahlia and Master Jonas.”

“I thank you all for this honor.”

“Oh, um...” Dahlia had a hard time saying otherwise after Jonas’s immediate response. She was neither experienced, a knight, nor a noble; just as she wanted to say that she didn’t deserve that much respect, the rest of the Beast Hunters beamed.

“Master Dahlia! Master Jonas! Thank you both for always making our lives better!”

“Uh, thank you too.” Now she had nowhere to run. She turned to Volf for support, but he was staring a hole into the ground.

“Master, huh? Makes sense, you being our advisor and all. Maybe I should call you Master Dahlia instead of just your first name when we’re at the castle too...”

Dahlia couldn’t come up with an answer to his mumbling. She decided that once they were alone, she’d tell him she would much prefer it if he kept addressing her the same way he always had.

One of the younger knights raised his hand. “Vice-Captain! Is the skybat edible?”

“It is edible, but I’m not so sure about its flavor...”

The veteran chimed in. “Edible? Yes. Tasty? No.”

“Have you had it before, sir?”

“One time when I was young, we ran out of supplies during an expedition. We caught a skybat in a trap and ate it, but.
