Out of the Adventurers Guild, before us we arrived at the market in Inverhanes, there was an outdoor shop filled with people and goods, albeit on the border.
In this city, which has a warmer and more humid climate than Yughanotes, it was also seen to sell fruits, vegetables and animal meat that had never been seen before.
"That's more people than I thought."
The market also overlapped just at noon, coinciding with the rush of people coming to the dew-store where they serve their meals for lunch.
"Right. The alley isn't narrow either...... I think the number of this person is going to deviate. Susana asks me for condiments, ingredients, etc., and I'd appreciate it if you could accompany me in buying my clothes, as long as Master Flick does. Look, this robe is tailored with Yughanotes, and it's a little hot in this place, so I thought I'd change it at this time."
Speaking of which, I made it look pretty hot when I came back, because I wore it thin.
In the meantime, Susana tells me I should be home by sundown, and I guess I can hang out enough to buy clothes.
Anyway, do you want me to take a look at my clothes?
Even though I'm rewashing, it's not good to smell sweaty.
"Oh, it's this crowd, and I'm going out with buying clothes because it's bad when it comes off. Let's start by buying food."
I thought it would be a bad idea to get out of the crowd, and I was offering my hand towards Noelia.
She looked at my hand she offered, blushing a little shy.
Did they think you were treating children like you were holding hands...
I think this is the best way to stay out of it.
"Sorry, you're so childish and embarrassing"
When I snapped like that, Noelia, whose face turned bright red, was shaking her head back with a boom and momentum.
"Oh, that's not true. Please."
I was glad that Noelia shook my hand back, for some reason, and at the same time I felt embarrassed.
"Oh well. Then let's go."
When I pulled Noelia's hand, I walked into an alley full of people.
There were more people in the alley than they seemed, and they walked in such a way as to protect her, holding hands tightly so that the tall Noelia could no longer be buried in the waves of people and seen.
"What were the ingredients and seasonings you asked for?
"Eh, dried meat for preservation, dried vegetables and dried fruit, huh? You also want salt and pepper, nutmeg, garlic and shoga for the seasoning? Looks like there's only a small village ahead of us, and I was wondering if we should keep more supplies here."
"It's something that gets sunny. I was just wondering, can't you do that?"
I was concerned that fruits of colour, which I knew were basic to the dry ingredients but had never seen in the alley in front of me, had been cut and placed, which I could carry without rotting during the long journey.
Five years as an adventurer, I've spent most of my time as a cook, and as far as I'm concerned, I can't help but wonder about the flavor of unknown ingredients.
"Do you just want a taste? If it's delicious, if you take it home for dinner, Susana won't be mad either."
That's what Noelia said when she saw the end of my gaze and she was smiling.
Well, that's a taste. Taste.
As an adventurer, survival changes if you don't know which ingredients are eaten and what they taste like.
This is a drill of knowledge in the name of taste.
"Well, shall we taste it? You're gonna try Noelia, too, right?
"Yes, I'd like to have the same as Master Flick."
I speak to the owner who was opening the store.
Uncle, can you make these two?
"Whoa, that hair color. Rumor has it, Tondemo Adventurer? Uh, you're dating your fiancée. Nice, what do you mean, young? When I was young..."
The moment my uncle at the dew shop said 'fiancée' about Noelia, I felt the hand I was holding get hot.
No, no, it can't be my fiancée or anything.
I'm a traveling companion now, but when the Abyss Walker thing is over, I'm just an adventurer.
"There is no such thing as the fiancée of Miss Yuguhanotes Borderline. I'm an escort. Escort."
Noelia was squeezing her hand as she reacted to the word 'escort' that I uttered.
"The Cavalier Apprentice of the Escort and the fact that the Lady of the Order is going to be dead is not just a story, but a story that people hear."
"Beh, that's not what I said. More than that, can I get two slices of brightly colored fruit over there?
"Heck, I'll serve you both hot."
When I paid for my uncle at the dew shop, I offered him fruit in front of Noelia, who was looking down and lying down.
"Hey, something weird was said, but I'd appreciate it if you didn't mind. Don't worry, I'm going to get this job done."
"Oh, right. Well, I was wrong about something.... Yes, right..."
I couldn't help but feel my chest ache asexually for some reason when I was staring at Noelle, whose voice would turn down.
"Oh, no. It's not like that. Because shopping with Noarea is fun, but the job means getting it right!
For some reason it seemed as if I had done something wrong, and my mouth was drooling over my words at will.
I think I'm telling you to go on a date, depending on what you're asking.
Suddenly, what are you talking about?
I was surprised by the words that came out of my mouth.
I didn't think I'd get any more of those emotions about Alfine...
No way, no way.
When I looked up and saw Noelia's face looking at me with her moist eyes, my heart was suddenly starting to make a sound buzzing.
At that moment - Alfine's face and Noelia's face overlapped cursing me floating in the back of my brain.
Why not? Now why Alfine......
Negative emotions erupted at once when Alfine cursed me, my vision began to glue around, eventually losing consciousness and falling into Noelia.
