Breakthrough with the Forbidden Master

"Well, brother there. You were about to pick a spice. You're gonna use this to cook, right? I know."

"Ha ha..."

"If you don't have to worry about money... what do you choose?

A store manager who suddenly appeared, didn't seem to be the only one, and seems to be quite famous.

He sticks out his faceless face like he's trying me out and asks me.

It's like I don't know the truth and I honestly don't want to get involved...

"Spices are a lot more powerful in the hunter business… at least more than potions. That's what I think. But the world today doesn't even try to understand if no one knows it"

"Ha..."

"So is this knife, isn't it?

"... ah..."

That said, the manager took something out of his own trouser pocket.

It's a magical survival knife, a little old for use.

"This one... the user..."

I nodded like Traina was impressed.

Yes, the man in front of him uses a magical survival knife that many hunters said was "badly imagined" and that was cheap but didn't try to buy.

Plus...

"This is nutritious, isn't it?

And now from the other pocket, he took out a bag of calorie friends, peeled them off and straightened them out.

"Oh, oh..."

I see. So this is what you're saying?

Very useful knife or portable food if you buy it. This man sells it as a product because he knows it too.

But the hunters don't buy it because they know it was used by Demon King soldiers once.

In that, you said you were interested in me trying to buy without even worrying about that?

But I wouldn't have been interested either if Trayna hadn't told me...

"I admit it. You don't know me, but you do. That's why I want to know. Which one would you choose with spice? Buy what? I want to know. I want to know. I want to know more about you."

Are you happy I buy it, this guy is even more like excited to pack the distance...... no, no, scary scary close.

I mean, what the hell is this guy? Trayna?

"... hmm..."

'Hey, Traina. You felt like you knew about this guy?

"Well... I've only heard the name... that was more than a decade ago when the rest was alive"

A dozen years ago. Well, that's right... but wait a minute. How old is this guy?

You're not that old, are you? I definitely don't have thirty or anything.

Late twenties? No, first half? I believe you when they say teenager...

"Once there was a boy under the age of ten who gave his name as a hunter dedicated to monsters and bounty necks..."

"... Hunter..."

'Looks like the Coalition was scouting to draw that boy to their side, but the boy never tried to join the Coalition and was committed to being a hunter... now he was hunting for a few necks of the Commander of the Demon Army class too... and Gouda was boggling'

He looks at the manager jiggly as Traina arms herself to remember the old days.

From the way things are going, then this guy...

'Then... you did hear the boy report that he was captured alive without rivalry even challenging Noja to fight...'

"Huh? What's Noja, a six-human?

'Uhm. It's just that right after that... Espi the Seven Brave engaged Nojah, and eventually the captives ran away... and then I don't know the rest. Back then, Hakuki was engaged with the Hiiros, and the war report will give priority to you...'

I see... you seem to have a complicated past of sorts, but for now, he said he was an amazing hunter enough to get into Trayna's ear.

And such a man now...

"Come on, what's going on? You don't even know me, and then you're choosing the right 'I know' thing, what would you choose if you could get this wide variety of spices?

He's showing an interest in me.

I guess he was quite a celebrity as a hunter, not so much as a store manager, because of this look around him.

I don't know myself as such a celebrity. Now, what I think is "whoa" for this guy is the tool he's trying to pick out and buy properly.

So he's showing interest in me and talking to me... is that what you're saying?

But...

"So... there's no money."

Yes. I don't have any money to choose from.

But the manager's eyebrows moved picturesque and unpleasant at my words like that.

"Shut up. Wouldn't you disappoint me for some boring reason that I don't have any money?

"No, I don't care what you say..."

"Ha... I don't know what else to do..."

When I talk about money, the manager exhales...

"Then if you choose spices that make me roar... I'll give you the price for spices for free"

"What?!

"I'd really like to give you other products for free... but you don't know me. What did I tell you, Hidoi? That's about enough for you, right?

Is this guy pretty concerned that he's not known for his faceless flirting?

No, no, no, no more roaring choices than that. Free?

"This is a challenge from me, isn't it? Come on, what do we do?

Trying me. In the words of such a store manager, Trayna...

"Come on."

I nodded quietly. And this one is very motivated. And...

"Coriander, Cumin, Turmeric, Galam Masala! Others untara cantara - '

"Hey, come on... Ahhh, Koli-An, Kumi, Tame Riku..."

"Yeah, yeah. And then?"

With Trayna placing one hand on her hips, she sticks her fingers out in front of her bisci, pointing one after the other to the hundred + bottles of spices displayed in front of her.

I whisper my name so that I can learn from it, and the manager snorts in his arms.

"- - And Kurobu, it takes, that's it!

"... hmmm..."

I will raise more than ten spices.

The manager nodded when I heard the whole thing. But you're not convinced...

"... unfortunately... can't that be all?

"Huh?"

"Nano!?

I couldn't...? Trayna is also surprised by the boulders.

What the hell happened?

"I can do it with that combination... traditional dishes handed down to this continent... Karrie... I've tried it many times, but it wasn't enough"

"... what? Currie?"

"Yes, it is also the strongest healthy food in the world I recognize and the strongest outdoor mesh in hunters and adventurers...... Currie. I'm sure you were going to make that too... not that combination..."

I wondered what the reason was, but what exactly was Currie... or Currie that Trayna was talking about earlier, was the dish that would pass on to this continent.

"I eat quite a bit of curry, too. I was hoping you could make me roar like that..."

I thought this guy had taken an interest in people on his own, and he sighed like he was disappointed on his own.

I'm not sure about Callie, but I'm usually annoyed!

"Hey, Trayna! I don't know, they say!?

'Huh... you mean... I see... this... Aoyagi!

Either way, Trayna had a terribly scary smile just full of the majesty of the Demon King when she whined in her heart that Trayna's choice was being ridiculed.

"Kid, it's coffee."

"... what?

'The rest was always in the hidden flavor... I had made demon world coffee... well, making coffee is a betta in itself, a classic though... but the rest was focused on that type. What the rest of us preferred to use for Currie was coffee from the Demon Realm...... HELLS COFFEE!

I don't know what a noisy hidden flavor it is, but I think the name is too insistent...

"Ah, is there a Hers coffee from the Demon Realm?

"Huh!?

Traina was confident, so I asked her anyway, and the store manager looked hazy.

"... no... I don't handle that..."

'Shit... then, on the ground... right, the coffee from the Empire was close... not like the royal ones, it was manufactured in the small countryside, but that fits best'

"Ahhh... so what's from the Empire for now?

"...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Oh, I don't think so.

Then the manager puts his hand on his chin...

"Well... well... I wasn't into the coffee itself either... it's from the Empire..."

Somehow the manager is once again exhaling deeply... but couldn't he?

But...

"Okay. Let's get it back."

"What?"

"Tell me more about the manufacturer when accounting for that tool"

"No, no, no?!

"It was my downfall that I didn't have the product I wanted. I'll give you free spice money."

The store manager suddenly changed the color of his eyes. Was that good?

Do you want it back? How motivated are you?

Besides, is the spice free? Did it turn out good?

"It'll take a few days... but you're still in this city, aren't you?

"Yes, for once... I'm here..."

"Okay, then, right?

For once, I have a few days before I get my stuff from Paris, but... some weird guy caught my eye.
