"Two cream cake sets, here you go!

Sylvia arranges the order before me and Garnett.

The brand new plate is served with a carefully painted cake with white cream, and the similarly new teacup is filled with red tea.

Furthermore, the cream cake contained plenty of small fruits, adding colour not only to the taste but also to the appearance.

"Whoa, you're serious! Let's go..."

Garnett immediately took the fork and cheeked the cake.

I'm in a good mood to lie about what you said earlier about 'Not bad if you're going to eat with tea'.

I have completely broken my expression before I put my mouth on black tea.

Pointing that out is going to piss me off again, so I'm going to eat cake too.

"... ugh! This..."

Surprised. I thought you didn't like something that sweet, but this just felt delicious after a bite.

I see, I also feel like Garnett is going to be so obsessed.

"You only have Sylvia's shop! Wouldn't it be okay to go through this every day?

"Stop every day. I'll break your body."

Keep the two of us eating cream cake while we have the usual conversation.

Where the tea was about to run out, Sylvia came with pots in good time.

"How about a change? It's free up to a cup."

"Well, I guess I'll have it."

"Give it to me too. Surprisingly well flavored, isn't it? I'm surprised."

"Thank you very much."

I'm not used to drinking tea, so I don't really understand the difference, but if you're saying that Garnett is good, I guess so.

Sylvia didn't walk away right after she finished brewing tea and had a serious view of me and Garnett.

"... what's wrong?

"No, I thought we were both totally friends."

That's what they said with a smile on his face, and me and Garnett looked at each other all together.

"'Cause, look, at first, you said you were awesome giggling, or you said you were going to fight soon enough"

"If you ask me, don't even think I did"

I miss it now, but my first encounter with Garnett was something I didn't even want to do.

I recognized Garnett as a businessman who didn't care, and Garnett had decided that he was a criminal dealing with Mithrills illegally about me.

"Well... you mean we had a lot going on."

The opportunity for a better relationship was undoubtedly when a second dragon appeared in the 'Day Clock Forest'.

Garnett was fatally wounded by the dragon's accidental blow, and I treated it with personal intent, ignoring the risk to my life.

Through the exchanges we had afterwards, the negative impressions we had of each other were dispelled - but I never dreamed that Garnett would live and work in my shop.

"I knew we could get along. We've never been over it, have we? Well, call me if anything happens again."

Shortly after Sylvia left the table, the front door opened and the bell rang.

"Welcome!... hey, welcome back, Sakura. You've finished your work."

"It was an easy request. If it's about escort and luggage, it's like a walk."

It was Sakura and the other, a long-haired wizard - a noir - who came.

"In the meantime, haven't you, Lord Luke, since you left your luggage in your room... And even Garnett."

"Hey, Sakura. You two have been doing this on a request?

Garnett turned his gaze to Sakura and the noir behind him.

It was a noir that tries to hide behind the sakura subtly, but it was hardly hidden because the noir has a bit more back length than the sakura.

"Noir is not an adventurer. She's the client and I'm the contractor."

"... to the next town, because I wanted to go shopping... I asked for an escort and luggage..."

If you ask me, we both had bags all over our hands, and it looked like shopping home, not dungeon home.

I don't know what the contents of the large baggage are, but around the noir being carried flat, it doesn't seem to be heavy enough for the size it looks like.

"Heh. What did you get me?

"It's... it's still a secret... I think I'll find out..."

"Huh. I'm thinking about not keeping our mouths shut... that doesn't sound like it. If it was, Sakura would have stopped it."

"Whatever."

The conversation between the three girls - is the expression inaccurate?

Noir is not ten years old away from me, and Garnett is recognized as a boy by the other two.

Anyway, listening to the conversation between the three of them on the side, I casually observed Garnett.

- Apparently, he's not in the mood.

Sakura and I have a friendship, so it's natural to have a fun conversation, and it doesn't look like there are negative emotions in the cage when talking to Noir.

Rather, Noir even feels more freaked out about the younger garnets.

"Then we'll leave our bags in the room."

"Are you both staying here?"

"Yeah. We rent a room on a long-term contract. Green Hollow has very few kinds of rentals."

Indeed, even when I inquired about the Guildhouse 'if there was a building that would allow me to open an arms store', only an empty house came up one step ahead of the abandoned house.

Greenhollow Town probably didn't really envisage an outside human being migrating.

Maybe that will change in the future, too.

Shortly after Sakura and Noir dropped him off back in the room, Garnett snorted with a bitter smile.

"White Wolf's. You thought I was gonna bite the noir?

"... I don't even think about it until I bite. But don't you think I don't like it or something?

"Well. Honestly, I'm just kidding. I feel like shit."

Garnett sipped a sip of freshly brewed tea before keeping his weight on his back and lifting the edge of his mouth.

"But if it's the first time I've worked and I'm going to get it back, it's not a story. I guess this is how he got some rest with you because he cleaned up his mess. He said," Thank you. "

"... well, good for you"

Exhale small with relief from the bottom of your mind.

I didn't want Garnett to feel uncomfortable working at the White Wolf store.

You only stayed as an escort to protect me, so I rather want you to be as comfortable as possible.

"You don't have enough cake at all. Something else..."

I was just about to recommend ordering extra, and Sylvia, who should have gone back behind the dining room, ran over with patties.

"Mr. Luke!

"Hmm, what's up?

There was no such thing as abrupt trouble...

Instead, he looks like he said he brought good news.

"I just got a letter from a friend in the next town. I'm leaving the house next week and moving to Greenhollow, so I was wondering if you could introduce me to the job. Mr. Luke's shop, you were still looking for employees!
