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 .
“I’m sorry about yesterday . ”
“No, don’t 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 wasn’t 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, it’s not like getting praises from a bad copy of my dish is anything to be…… . . never mind, it doesn’t really matter .
“Hah, I see . ”
“I’m angry at him too, thanks to him, I won’t be able to get a share of what you make anymore……”
Ah, as expected, she’s mad about that .
“Don’t 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 won’t be as soon as tomorrow, but soon in the near future . ”
“Okay! I’ll wait!”
Aren’t her expectations a bit too high? Don’t 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, Bell’s hunting skills have improved quite a lot in the past few days .
In that case, I guess I should overlook their behaviors while I’m 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 didn’t know her name .
“…… . ?
“…… . Ah, my name is Salena . ”
“I see, Salena . ”
So her name’s Salena . I will remember that .
“Speaking of which, you seem to be getting along with my little sister . ”
“Little sister?”
“She’s a waitress at an inn . I believe it is the inn you’re staying at?”
“Ah, do you mean Lily?”
“Yes, I’m referring to Lily . It appears you allowed her to eat something very delicious, she’s 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?1
“Apparently, it was something about a dish she’s 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 it’s 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 I’ve eaten something like this…… . ”
“No, it was nothing special . ”
The guild master came in while we were talking with each other .
“Oh? What’s this smell? It smells really good……what 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?”
It’s not something bad, right?
“No, you don’t need to be so worried about it . I’m not going to eat you or anything . ”
“Alright . ”

“Hmm, now then, where should I begin…… . it’s a bit troublesome so I’ll keep it short . Little miss, why don’t you sell your monster materials?
“…… . . Eh?”
Huh? Did he find out?
“That’s right, I’m 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 who’ve seen your wolves gathering monster corpses while you were gathering herbs . ”
“Ah… . . that, umm, I’m sorry . ”
“Don’t be, I’m not angry . Adventurers under 13 years old aren’t allowed to accept subjugation requests, but they’re allowed to fight back if they‘re 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 .
That’s why you’re completely fine, don’t worry about it . ”
“That is……is it really alright?”
“Yep, don’t worry . For Missy, it would be justified as self-defense since you were attacked by monsters . There’s 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 you’re storing the materials . Why don’t you just sell them?”
“Eh?”
“Uh, you know, just sell them normally?”
“But I didn’t accept any subjugation requests, so can I?”
“Why not? The materials that you got after being attacked would be wasted otherwise . ”
“I see…… . ”
“That’s 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, I’m sorry?”
“No, like I said, I’m not angry . Judging from how you reacted, it seems you didn’t sell the materials because you didn’t know you could . ”
“Um, right . ”
“In that case, if you sell them, it will be alright . ”
……Is that so . Then I’m fine with selling them .
“Oh, that’s 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 one……it might be nothing, but it still isn’t 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, I’m sorry about that . ”
“No, Missy didn’t do anything wrong . Rather, you definitely reduced the amount of casualties by defeating it . Although it’s been several days since you defeated it, and there haven’t been any signs of movement from a herd . It will still take at least several days to complete the investigation .
I’m fine as long as there’s no punishment .
“However……”
“What?”
“To think that Missy’s familiars are strong enough to beat an ogre, when I think about it…… . . there’s a lot to process . ”
Ugh, why do I have this bad feeling?2
