We mowed a lot of grass.
Lyla and I, who piled up the grass, were being rewarded by my client's grandmother.
"Lyla, thank you all the time. Ah, take the decon from the field."
"Oh, good, I'm sorry!"
"It's a sign of gratitude for always taking Baba's orders. Let Merck cook for you."
Merck...? Oh, you mean Merck?
When my client's grandmother was watching Lila give her something like white vegetables a little further away, she turned to me.
"Yes, take this."
"Oh, thank you."
What my grandmother gave me was dried fish.
It's not too big, and it looks like it could be eaten by snacks or something.
I'll give it to the cat over there.
"Mmm, I'm not a cat! It's a shape shifter!"
Shifu, who doesn't want to be treated like a cat stubbornly, jumps on the spot and asserts himself.
Grandma smiles gently, surprised at such a shift.
"Oh, yeah? Then, go ahead."
"You're still giving it to me...!? Mug, even though it's terrible to be old...!"
Dust the sifters in battle while mopping up the dried fish that was offered.
Since it's a monster, you don't have to be careful what you can eat like a real cat.
... cats have a lot of vegetables they shouldn't eat...
After completing the request in this way, Lyla and I, who received the reward and vegetables, walk back to the inn on a snow-dyed return road.
"This might be the first time I've had a request like today."
"Really? Well, Kate, you've been asked to fight since the beginning."
"I've asked for a dog, but I've had a lot of trouble getting the animals to Kite."
It was quite a shock that I was avoided by animals in this world.
"Just because you're avoided doesn't mean you're hated. Now that I know it, I'm fine."
"That's right. I'm so glad you look so satisfied."
"Watching over the shadows is the same as watching."
"Wait a minute, it sounds dangerous!?"
There is no dust in evil thoughts.
So there is nothing to be ashamed of. [M]
"Adventurers are also work with people. There are more people who naturally see this kind of request."
"It's kind of nice. That's what I mean....."
Like this, I'm building my own place.
I admire it a little.
"Kate, why don't you and Rifa do the same?"
"We... no, I see. Next time, I'll ask Rifa."
Maybe I don't like it.
As she walked along the streets lined with stalls, Lyla stopped and walked away from us.
"Lyla?"
"I'm sorry. This is five of them!"
Yes!
Looks like he's buying something at a smelly stall.
Coming back here, she brings out hot food from a paper bag she holds.
"Yes, this! Amakurumi!!"
"Amkurumi? Oh, thank you."
"Lyla, what is it? Kate, give it to me."
It looks like a burning bean paste.
When I cut it small for Shif, the white bean comes out from inside.
As I give it to the shiff that jumped on my shoulder, I'll try to eat it too. [M]
"... uhm!?"
"Oh! It's so sweet and delicious!"
The outside is sharp, but the contents feel smooth.
The sweet bean paste inside matches the good feeling and is good.
"Ahahah, I don't know how to smell here. It's a local specialty."
Seeing our reaction, she looks happy, and she is wearing another pickled walnut.
No, I don't think I've eaten sweet food in a long time.
"Ah, money...."
"It's okay, it's okay. Thank you for helping me with my request. Besides, I always get a simple request to go home and eat and walk."
I'm enjoying the adventurer life.
No, perhaps this is the right way to be an adventurer who will be closely associated with the people of the region.
Secretly convinced, Sif slapped me on the shoulder with his tail. [M]
"Kate, I want to eat more!"
Well, I'm halfway there.
Avoid the part I ate, divide it in half, and put it on the palm of my left hand.
Then Shif descended from his shoulder to his left arm with dexterity and hit his palm.
"Mumumumumu"
——— You would never have regretted not bringing your camera to this world so far.
An evil thought struck my head, but I ate my right hand's amygdala with no expression.
Speaking of which, Kate.
Nh?
"Does anyone teach you how to handle bows?"
"Ah, that's it... isn't there?"
I don't know anyone who can handle it in the first place.
So I was thinking about remembering it by hand.
Well, why don't you ask Fran?
"Mr. Fran? Can he handle bows?"
"Yeah, shooting from afar, shooting closer, stabbing with arrows."
You're stabbing me!?
What do you mean!?
"It's not that bad, but it seems like such a genre. I don't know."
"Hmm...."
"Mumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumu
The swallowed Shifu said such a thing while staring at the smell in my hand. [M]
When you wave your hand to the left and right to try, Sif's head shakes in the same way.
Cute.
Somehow, I got hungry just from that, and I gave Shifu more than half of the red walnuts I had left.
"Yes, please."
"Oh! That's my lord! Thank you!!"
"Don't you think you should say that?"
You've become a snob in a good way.
In the meantime, I appreciate Lyla's suggestion.
"May I ask Mr. Fran?"
"Okay, I got it!"
Bow practice.
It sounds tough, but it doesn't look like fun.
By the time the sky was getting much darker, we would finally arrive at the inn where we lived.
I'm home.
Lyla, holding a paper bag with a cheerful voice, opens the door to the inn.
When I entered the inn after her, I noticed that someone was standing in front of the front door.
"Ri, Rifa"
"Where have you been?"
I feel awkward about her words, staring at me and Lyla.
Well, I didn't do anything wrong, did I?
"I'm asking you....."
"... I left right away. There was no one."
"Sorry, I'm sorry!!"
Maybe he came home soon after that!?
That's my fault.
Immediately apologizing to Reefa, Lyla, who was waiting behind her, approached her as she fished for the paper bag she was holding in her arms -
"Yes, let's go."
Mugh
I pushed my cheeks into the mouth.
She was a little surprised, but as soon as she moped, she started eating the sweet peas she held in both hands like a squirrel.
"---!"
She looks at me with her eyes open.
"Kite, forgive me. Buy me 10 more of these."
"I'm getting fat."
"I'm not fat."
No, I can't make it so sweet to you.
A solid diet also serves as a brave man. This place demonizes the mind.
"... Kate, if you're going to buy me some..."
"Okay. Sif, how old are you?"
"Isn't it different from what I did? Hey? Why?"
Rifa grabs my shoulder and shakes it. [M]
Lyla, who was watching our interactions, was smiling and laughing joyfully.
