Chapter 31: I Fed the Lily Sisters
Chapter 31: I Fed the Lily Sisters
Good morning everyone! I will do my best today too~
I went down to the dining hall and Lily brought me my meal. From a slight glance, I could tell that the cook was glaring at me from the kitchen.
Im sorry about yesterday. No, dont worry about it.
I listened to her explanation.
It was because of the udon I made two days ago, when the other customers saw me and Lily eating it, they started asking the cook for it.
And the cook had even proclaimed I made that. But no matter what the other customers said, he wasnt able to bring it out.
Apparently, after I had gone up to my room, the other customers had started severely denouncing him. They started saying things like the udon was something that I had created, and that probably even the previous orc meat dish was also actually mine.
As such, the cook who had his pride severely hurt, said all that stuff yesterday to try to get a new recipe. Well, its not like getting praises from a bad copy of my dish is anything to be..never mind, it doesnt really matter.
Hah, I see. Im angry at him too, thanks to him, I wont be able to get a share of what you make anymore
Ah, as expected, shes mad about that.
Dont worry, I thought about other ways to cook. I will still share some with Lily. Eh!? Really!? Yep, but be a bit more quiet. S-Sorry. Well, it wont be as soon as tomorrow, but soon in the near future. Okay! Ill wait!
Arent her expectations a bit too high? Dont raise the hurdle that much!
Afterwards, we talked for a bit more before I left the inn. As expected, sugar was expensive.
As I headed towards the gate, I looked towards Norn who was walking beside me, she looked like she was in a good mood. Apparently, Bells hunting skills have improved quite a lot in the past few days.
In that case, I guess I should overlook their behaviors while Im gathering?
I passed in front of the guild on the way, and I saw the receptionist lady who handled my guild registration sweeping the entrance, so I gave her a greeting.
Good morning. Good morning, will you be gathering herbs today? Yes, umm.
I didnt know her name.
.? .Ah, my name is Salena. I see, Salena.
So her names Salena. I will remember that.
Speaking of which, you seem to be getting along with my little sister. Little sister? Shes a waitress at an inn. I believe it is the inn youre staying at? Ah, do you mean Lily? Yes, Im referring to Lily. It appears you allowed her to eat something very delicious, shes been talking non-stop about it everyday.
Ah, so she was annoying her sister about the foods I fed her. Sorry about that. But Lily and Salena.so Yuri Shimai?Lily Sisters">1
Apparently, it was something about a dish shes never seen before? Well, would you like to have some? Eh, do you really mean it!?
I still have some udon remaining. I wanted to get along with Lily, and maintaining good relations with guild staff would be beneficial. Above all, she was my favorite type, so I would like to increase my favorability with her.
As such, I was taken to the back of the guild, to one of the rooms the guild staff used.
Apparently, Salena already ate breakfast, but if its just udon, she should be able to eat it if I gave her a smaller portion. Thus, I brought out a bowl of udon.
T-This is Please enjoy.
I also decided to join her and eat some. Slurp! Yep, delicious.
Oh my..
She had the same expression as Lily. The two are definitely sisters. We finished eating in no time.
Thank you for the meal, it was very delicious. This is the first time Ive eaten something like this. No, it was nothing special.
The guild master came in while we were talking with each other.
Oh? Whats this smell? It smells really goodwhat were you eating? Ah, good morning.
As Salena gave a greeting, I also bowed.
What did you eat? Huh, little miss? Ah, great timing. I have something I need to talk about. .What is it about?
Its not something bad, right?
No, you dont need to be so worried about it. Im not going to eat you or anything. Alright. Hmm, now then, where should I begin.its a bit troublesome so Ill keep it short. Little miss, why dont you sell your monster materials? ..Eh?
Huh? Did he find out?
Thats right, Im not that easy to fool. I know little miss has been hunting a lot of monsters. Or to be accurate, little miss familiars have. There have been quite a few people whove seen your wolves gathering monster corpses while you were gathering herbs.
Ah..that, umm, Im sorry.
Dont be, Im not angry. Adventurers under 13 years old arent allowed to accept subjugation requests, but theyre allowed to fight back if theyre attacked. Plus, in the case of Missy, I heard that your familiars were just attacking the monsters that were aiming for you while you were gathering herbs. Thats why youre completely fine, dont worry about it.
That isis it really alright? Yep, dont worry. For Missy, it would be justified as self-defense since you were attacked by monsters. Theres absolutely no problem.
So the mountain of corpses from before were the results from protecting me. I need to apologize to Norn later.
Rather, the issue is more about how youre storing the materials. Why dont you just sell them? Eh?
Uh, you know, just sell them normally? But I didnt accept any subjugation requests, so can I?
Why not? The materials that you got after being attacked would be wasted otherwise. I see.
Thats right, orc meat is considered a luxury item for the common people. Even those in the lower class eat it occasionally. But the town still has difficulties keeping up with the supply and demand. So it would be a waste to let the material you have go bad. Umm, Im sorry?
No, like I said, Im not angry. Judging from how you reacted, it seems you didnt sell the materials because you didnt know you could. Um, right.
In that case, if you sell them, it will be alright.
Is that so. Then Im fine with selling them.
Oh, thats right. What? I also have an ogre, is that fine too? An ogre!?
Oh, was that perhaps too much?
Wait a moment, you have ogres too!? How many!? Eh? Eh? Eh?
Apparently, ogres were considered fairly dangerous monsters that could only be defeated by Rank D and above adventurers. And an ogre had appeared. Furthermore, if there were a herd of ogres, several parties of Rank C adventurers would need to be assembled.
As such, ogre appearances would be quite bad news. Anyways, I quickly explained that I only had one.
Just oneit might be nothing, but it still isnt something that should be ignored. For now, the forest area in the south will need to be placed off-limits while we send out an investigation team.
It seems to be more serious than I thought.
Somehow, Im sorry about that. No, Missy didnt do anything wrong. Rather, you definitely reduced the amount of casualties by defeating it. Although its been several days since you defeated it, and there havent been any signs of movement from a herd. It will still take at least several days to complete the investigation.
Im fine as long as theres no punishment.
However What? To think that Missys familiars are strong enough to beat an ogre, when I think about it..theres a lot to process.
Ugh, why do I have this bad feeling?2
