Procuring fertiliser

The demon hunters were confident that no demons could escape.

Realising there was no immediate danger, Aru's eyes focused on the pile of demon carcasses. The reason he walked all the way here was for the demon carcasses. 

"Um.." Aru hesitated for a second. But he decided to ask the question nonetheless. "Sir demon hunters, can the meat of the demons be eaten?"

His question caught the demon hunters completely off guard. 

'Eating these nasty-looking creatures!'

They began to look at Aru sympathetically. 

It was an understatement to say that demons were ugly. The combination of lizard and dog features along with the disgusting mucus and saliva it secreted made it look undeniably nasty and a little horrifying. In no way did it look like something that could be consumed.

'To think of eating such a creature.'

Maybe it was poverty that made him ask the question. Maybe it was the desperate condition of his tribe.
