(9) Sigel's Magic and Cooking
It would take a little while for the Adventurer card to be made, so Sigel and Philomena, once out of the Adventurer Guild.
I'll be able to do it in two hours, so I'll be back by then and I'll be talking to the receptionist.
Sigel, who went outside and started walking, asked after making sure there was no one nearby.
"So? What did you find out about that magic test?
Outreach, walking conversations are hard to hear unless you're walking in the same direction, at the same speed.
Besides, he talks in a lower voice so that it doesn't sound like a remote place.
Philomena immediately answered if she knew that too.
"In a nutshell, Siegel's magical qualities were at the highest level"
"Oh, that way"
Sigel, who thought it was either completely devoid of qualities or expensive, accepted Philomena's words without surprise.
Philomena seemed surprised by the matter and patted her eyes before looking at Sigel.
"... you're not surprised?
"No, I'm surprised, but somehow my imagination came with an earlier exchange. Besides, just because you had the qualities, it's another question of whether you'll be able to use it at the operational level, right?
"Well, that's true."
Still wasn't convinced by Sigel's answer, Philomena looked dissatisfied as she said so.
Sigel, realizing that, said with a little laugh.
"I think I told you yesterday, but there are a lot of these stories out there in my area. It's got a lot of patterns like this."
"... I don't know, you're more surprised... what the hell (world) is with all that talk?
Sigel grinned vaguely at Filomena, who had said so with a frightened face.
Exactly, I'm not going to talk about a world where business is deep, without any previous information.
Instead of what I can't understand from what I've just talked about, it would come with extra knowledge.
It's unclear how I received it when I saw Sigel's face, but I didn't even hear about Philomena any more.
Being out of the question in the first place would be one of the reasons.
"So, it's about the future..."
"Yeah? Aren't you going to lunch?
"No, I'm not talking about that one.... would you be doing this on purpose?
Philomena glanced lightly at Sigel's blatant change of subject.
And seeing Sigel deflect his gaze as he deluded, Philomena continued with a sigh.
"We're talking about Siegel's magic. As for that magic, I'm gonna talk to you like I teach you, okay?
"That's, as far as I'm concerned, a wish... okay?
"Good or nothing, that's the easiest part. Return to your guild with nothing to decide, and you'll definitely be pushing hard."
Sigel became sinister in Philomena's words, as he affirms.
From the flow of the story, you don't have to think about who pushes what in.
To get connected to Sigel, it means putting on your own breathtaking person by calling around the Alliance Master introducing you to the role of teacher.
"Wow. That's a hassle. As far as I'm concerned, it would help if Philomena could teach me, but are you sure?
"Mm-hmm. In addition to teaching common sense, it's enough to teach you how to handle magic. Nothing's wrong."
"It's hard for you to say that... I feel like I'm getting too much over here."
"Haha. You're serious, Sigel is. Well, if that's what you think, would it be nice if Sigel prepared the meal?
"I don't mind that much at all... but I don't think it's enough."
Try Sigel, cooking a meal is part of your hobby, so I don't think it's part of giving back.
Filomena replied, shaking her head, to Sigel's words with that in mind.
"That's not true. We're going to have lunch, but then we'll know why."
For some reason Sigel could only tilt his neck to Filomena, who had said so with strange certainty.

After I made my decision about Sigel's future, I went to my next destination chatting about the lack of any other love in the town I'm in.
It is just in time for lunch, so I followed Philomena's guide and entered a popular store in the town of Taro as well.
It was somewhat off time since lunch, so it wasn't so much that people were lined up, but the store was still busy.
"That's a pretty busy shop."
"Don't you? At least I thought it was the best town in Taro."
Sigel nodded once as she tilted her neck inside to Filomena, who had said so with what a subtle expression.
I was concerned about the subtle rhetoric of Filomena, Sigel, but somehow I thought it would be better not to hear it here.
When I got to my seat talking about that, a grinning waitress came to pick up my order.
The order Sigel placed asked for the same as Philomena.
Sometimes he said he wouldn't eat this if Philomena came to this store, but he wanted to know what it would be like to eat the same thing as Philomena.
This morning I thought that Philomena, who had eaten her own dish, would know why she praised me so much.
The dishes Sigel and Philomena ordered were black bread and soup, and oak meat.
In terms of content, it's barely the same as this morning's breakfast, it just had oak meat on it.
For some reason I had noticed Filomena paying attention to Sigel's every step of the way, but it doesn't start with not trying it first.
What makes black bread in these stores is that there is no white bread in the first place, and it is not available to the public.
Sigel first spoke from the soup.
And now I'll try the oak meat.
Philomena was asking Sigel, who had finished each bite.
"What do you say?
"Yeah. I think it's delicious just because it's popular."
"Don't you?
Filomena nodded in a satisfied face at Sigel's elusive words.
Siegel and Philomena have no intention of talking greatly about the evaluation of what has been offered here.
In stores with a lot of people, there are limits to what you can talk about.
After this, he had begun a difficult story that had nothing to do with the meal, such as the state of the town.
However, wherever she went, Filomena seemed to have no choice but to get her attention, and Sigel felt her gaze from there even while she was eating.
I wanted to think it was just over-conscious if possible, but unfortunately the fact that some poisonous gazes were mixed was unmistakable.
All this, I guess, is the same even if Filomena wasn't a brave man, and Sigel thought about it as he carried the dish into his mouth for what it didn't matter.
As soon as Philomena paid for the meal for the two of us and left the store, she asked Sigel.
"So? How was the real place?
Bitterly smiling at the momentum, Sigel thought a little before answering.
"Hmm. I think it was usually delicious, huh? But was it a little flavorful for me?
This is what Sigel couldn't have said in the store.
Incidentally, the soup was well stocked with meat and vegetable stock, and the oak meat was not focused on weird flavoring, so she simply shook the salt.
However, for Siegel, both were flavored so that they would politely refuse if asked if they wanted to eat each meal.
"The flavor is intense...... sure it may be, but is that all?
"Come on? I'm not a cook. I just don't know any more."
"Hmm. Right. Sure, for the occasional eating, it feels very tasty, same to me..."
To Sigel's answer, Philomena pointed her lips with a disgruntled face.
"I thought I could learn the secrets of Siegel's cooking."
Sigel erupted unexpectedly into Filomena, who went on to say so.
"No, because there really isn't such a big secret. Besides, maybe, but I think it was deliberate to flavor that store in the first place, right?
"Yeah? What do you mean?
To Sigel's words, Philomena came tilting her neck and pointing a strange gaze.
In response to that gaze, Sigel added further explanations.
"This town is only close to the Devil's Forest, so there's a lot of adventurers, right?
"Oh."
"So I think you're daring to dare to dare to flavor it for it. Though I don't know if I went for it from the beginning, or if it happened naturally while I was letting customers in."
When Sigel said that, Philomena looked like she didn't know what it meant, and overhead she said,? "I was floating the mark.
Sigel noticed it and worried a little about how he explained it before continuing further.
"Adventurers are hard to get a decent meal after an expedition on top of manual labor, right?
Philomena nodded small to Sigel, who asked to confirm.
"Oh, that's right"
"So when you come back to town, you want something with a strong flavor, like you think you ate a gut..."
The last one was less confident, but that was why Siegel thought the flavor was getting darker.
"I can't say for sure because I only know one store at the moment, but what do you say?
"No, I do, I feel more like a store with a thick flavor, one way or another"
"Oh, I knew it"
To Philomena's words, Sigel nodded in a hoarse manner.
It's good that I explained it great, but if I'm wrong, I'm embarrassed and I want to dig holes in it.
"Well, that's why I don't think my dishes are special. Tabn."
"Mmm."
To Sigel's conclusion, Filomena voiced dissatisfaction.
But I immediately smiled and said.
"Well, okay. For now, I think I'll be able to eat Siegel's cooking for a while."
To Philomena, who had so concluded, Sigel could only return a bitter laugh.
