"Dear Retichea!

It was the maid of separation who rushed in shouting my name.

"What's wrong? Did something go wrong?

Kate's here.

"Kate? Suddenly."

"It seemed like you were in a lot of a hurry and you were chopped up."

"... okay. I'll be right there."

Why would Kate do that?

I don't know, but let's just talk about it for now.

When I noticed it, the signs of Gyu-sama disappeared.

He stands at a distance and listens to human conversations.

When others approach, why does Gu-sama end the time?

I may be surprised to say that it is shy or vigilant.

"See you later, Gu-sama. I'm going home today."

Guu

"... Gu-sama?

After saying goodbye and walking to the Away Palace, Gu-sama stayed close to me and followed me.

"Gu-sama, what's wrong? You want to go inside the house?

"Wow!

I was just told it was true.

"... maybe I snuck into a separate kitchen and stole a sandwich or something..."

Gu-sama is chewing his head off.

"Who would do such a muddy imitation!!"

It's full of anger.

"Sorry, sorry. All right, all right. Stay close to me while you're away from the house.

Gwahh!

I doubt how far this will go, but just being careful, I just replied "I understand."

...... Ghu-sama, I'm a wolf, but don't you understand human language?

Strangely, I went to the detached house early.

Kate and a man dressed like a cook stand in the front door.

Good evening, Kate.

Retichea ― ― ― ― ― huh?

Kate-sama's tail swollen.

Somehow they seem to be on alert.

"Kate, what's wrong?

"What is it, you wolf?"

"The wolf watchman is the wolf with the wolf."

"Yes, I know that much!! But that wolf, it's not normal!! It's as if it's against my father or His Majesty!!"

"You don't have to be so scared. Gu-sama's eyes are sharp as this, but you don't attack people, do you?

Call out to Gu to ask for his consent.

After all, it may be an unusual wolf from the eyes of humans other than me.

Gu-sama looked at Kate-sama with eyes like, "This bobcat is surprisingly sharp."

"... I see. There are more important things than wolves right now."

"Guuuu......"

"What is such a wolf?" while calming down Kate who seems to be in a bad mood, he guides Kate to the reception room.

Kate opened her mouth when she sat on the guest bench.

"Dear Reticcia, I came to ask for help today. Could you lend me this out-of-house cook for a few days? Of course, I will pay the right price."

"... can you tell me what's going on?

"...... nh, of course that's what happens..."

Kate-sama chewed her lips.

Silence descends.

I went through my thoughts and decided to look around.

"... Manila Day?

"(12) Even though you are exotic, you are familiar with it!!"

"Speaking of ornaments, I am the queen of this country. I studied."

Looks like you were right.

Manila Day is like Kate's birthday, an exclusive anniversary in the eastern part of the Wolfvard Kingdom.

The eastern part of the kingdom was mountainous and did not grow abundantly when planted with grain.

Salt from rock salt pits, also known as "white gold", moisturized such poor land.

Among them, Manila rock salt pit was a rock salt pit with a long history and a large scale.

Manila's rock salt pit was discovered on an anniversary day in the eastern region, and I hear that on that day there is a habit of entertaining important people with plenty of salt cooking.

Kate from the east must also want to practice her hometown habits in the out-of-court.

Manila Day this year is ten days from today.

They were approaching.

"There should be granular cooks working in Kate's separation, but what did they do?

"... I escaped."

"Did you get away?

"... Siena's fault...!!"

Grip and grind.

Kate swallowed her teeth to hold back her yelling.

"On Manila Day this year, I was going to invite your father to my separation and entertain him. As your father's daughter, and to show her authority as a queen candidate, I was going to prepare a fantastic dish."

"You think Siena has interfered with that?

"... definitely. Otherwise, it would be strange for the cooks to come and give their resignations just before Manila Day. Besides, the cook who left me seems to be moving to a place where Siena is breathtaking."

"... I understand the situation. But why did you rely on me?

"Isn't Leticia's dedication to excellent cooking at His Majesty's birthday a testament to having a good cook? Besides, the few cooks who stayed with me, the one who accompanied me today, knew Gilbert as the chef in Leticia's kitchen and valued him highly."

The cook behind Kate thanked him.

I'm glad you appreciate Mr. Gilbert, but...
