I Was Kicked out of the Hero’s Party Because I Wasn’t a True Companion so I Decided to Have a Slow Life at the Frontier

The news reached the Zoltan that the brave Luti had finally captured the second four kings, Gandor of the Wind, and his castle, Tenku Castle.

Gandall's airpower, with countless Wyvern cavalry, was the strongest he could have been able to compete with at least five times as much, but the Demon King would have been spared.

"I'm doing my best, Rooty guy"

In the outlying Zoltan, the threat of the Demon Army feels like a distant world. The Zoltans seem to be delighted with the Allied victory, but more of a festival than a threat.

With a click, I stop thinking. The sound of a bell on the door.

"Welcome ... what's Gonz and Tanta?"

"Oh, I came to play, I still have no customers."

"Relievedly"

Rain outside. Carpenter's work is absent when it rains.

During this time of the Zoltan, rain often falls from noon to evening. Daytime temperatures can also exceed 37 degrees, and basically all Zoltans of this period do not work very hard.

Adventurers don't seem to want to work in this hot or rainy weather, and many don't work in summer because of the funds they have saved between winter and spring.

However, neither looting races like goblins nor outlaws like bandits have stopped their activities, and such a response is being driven by responsible high-ranked adventurers like Albert.

I'm just collecting goods from my store, but I haven't been active as an adventurer recently.

Rather, I have to deal with the urgent problem of having few customers at the store.

"I'm still half a month, but sales are going up, right?"

"Well, because she introduces medicinal herbs to other hospitals with the introduction of Newman, but ..."

"I have to come to the public. Well, at this time everyone will be full of homes, there will be a drugstore and there will be no energy."

"I have a medicine for summer cold."

Medicines also have expiration dates. In a few months, you'll have to destroy the medicines you have made and the herbs you have taken.

Although the purchase price is less than 1/5 of the sales price of the medicine, the stomach is a little painful compared to when the adventurer's guild purchased it all.

"Well, there will be more customers soon."

Gonz is laughing, but it's not a laugh for me.

"By the way, Red, have you eaten the meal already?"

"Inya"

"Okay, let's go eat it!"

"Good, I don't eat out. I'll make it at home."

"Yes? @ Can you cook Red Brother?"

"You can cook, adventurers have to cook."

Eating is important anyway.

Often, during a difficult trip, you can only enjoy the morning and evening meals.

The bad food is tough, and I'm a little bit of a culinary skiller, even though I think it's useless in terms of strength.

At first he was repulsed by Ares, but he was well received by his friends, including Ruti, and Ales did not complain in a few days. Or rather, they were demanding a replacement.

The meal time was one of the few times I was able to rely on my surroundings.

"Hey red ga ne"

"Well, I can't beat the blessings of a professional cook, but it's pretty good for an amateur. What should I eat?"

"good!?"

"Oh, wait a minute."

This store also has a place where I live.

The floor plan includes a store, a storage room, a bedroom, a kitchen, a lavatory, a living room, a compound workshop, and a garden for growing herbs.

It's quite wide if you think about it, but was that material cost enough? Maybe Gonz was unable to do so.

I open the shelves holding the ingredients and think about what to make.

"Do you want to use potato salad, egg toast, tomato soup, and chicken that I bought yesterday?"

With the ingredients in my basket, I went to the kitchen.

"I'm sorry."

I arranged the dishes on the living room table.

"Oh, if you wonder what will come out, it looks normal."

"Because I'm not a cook, the food I can make is ordinary home cooking."

You may have raised your expectations too much.

I just wanted to say that it was delicious for an amateur, and the cooking technique itself wasn't a big deal.

"That's it."

The drink is cold water with citrus chips.

Herbs are served after meals. Both are extras that came after the herb extraction.

Tanta ate bacon egg and Gonze ate potato salad with a spoon.

"How is it?"

"……seriously"

Gonz and Tanta stopped moving.

"What happened? Did it not fit your mouth?"

"No ... it's really delicious."

"It's amazing Red brother! Delicious than mother's rice!"

The two began silently moving the spoon without speaking.

If I feel relieved, I start with the soup.

Yeah delicious.

At the end of the meal, they drink herbal tea with a happy face.

"But why is it so delicious? The dishes themselves are ordinary."

"Oh, yes. Probably the seasoning was good."

"seasoning?"

In addition to herbs, there are various plants in the mountains.

The hills are tropical to temperate up to the middle, and in subarctic climate when heading to the summit, the mountains are rich in famous spices such as mustard, garlic, cinnamon and nutmeg, and various herbs whose names are unknown.

I think that seasonings made from such ingredients taste better.

"Hey, I didn't think you were really good at cooking."

"Because the basics are the dishes that can be made during camping, I don't know about elaborate dishes or dishes made with unusual ingredients."

"No, enough. That's it.

"Even if you set it up, it's just tea."

"This tea is also delicious"

Herbs used for tea are also taken from the mountains.

We speculate that the herbs that were breeded by the wood elves, who once lived in Zoltan, are native to the mountains.

Many of the continent's vegetables, fruits and livestock have been bred by wild wood elves over a long period of time. The wood elf nations were destroyed in the war before the Demon King, and now the wood elf's blood remains only in the form of a human half.

However, their knowledge of natural science has been passed down to humans. My knowledge of herbs and medicines was learned from books left by the Wood Elves.

A curan and a bell turned in the shop.

"Is it a customer? I'm going a little. The two are relaxing here."

"Oh"

It is unusual for customers to come in the rain.

I went back to the store in a hurry.

"Welcome ..."

What came in was a strange woman standing out.

The whole body is covered with a black hooded coat, and the mouth is hidden with a red bandana wrapped around the neck.

The hair looking through the gaps in the hood is golden, flowing.

On the waist you can see two large curved shorts with griffon feathers.

Every Zoltan inhabitant knows her.

She is another B-rank adventurer. However, the ability is far above Albert. She is solo and does not work with anybody, and she has a reputation for being a B-ranked party.

If it is an individual's ability, it is A rank or better.

Her name is Leedslet. When called by people, shrink and lit. It's confusing because I'm red ... but that's all I can't complain about.

"... Gideon, I was really here."

I tightened my expression as if this time had finally come.

Her real name is Leedslet of Loggervia. The second princess of Principality of Loggervia.

Once a short time, a woman who was a party with me and Rooty.
