The Spearmaster and the Black Cat
One hundred and twenty words, mate.
Will the Demon Stone be gold?
If we dive again, we're going to get together soon.
Warp to the terrestrial lens by touching the second layer of lens and uttering the word "return".
We're back on the ground safely.
... as soon as I return, my gaze gathers from the adventurers heading to the labyrinth.
He turned his gaze to me and to the black cat (Lolo) resting on his shoulder.
The gaze varies from favor, curiosity, suspicion.
Well, I don't see many adventurers with animals on their shoulders......
But...... as soon as I saw Eva in the wheelchair beside me, the adventurers were turning into a disgusting, scornful, and frigid complexion with wrinkles between their eyebrows.
Eva is faceless with such a gaze on her.
He was moving a wheelchair and exiting the labyrinth entrance where the guards stood.
I'll be out late, too.
The hours of dazzling sunlight are in the morning, the number of dewstores is small, but the hanging voices of the adventurers who said they would call for parties and sell maps are unchanged.
Eva just goes first as she feels the sun shine in her palms.
The wheelchair was lost sight of the crowd.
Well, I wonder if I can act differently from here already.
Well, no, let's go to the guild, too.
Inside the guild is the same crowd.
It's not a morning commuter rush, but it still seems a lot of adventurers go into the labyrinth first thing in the morning to do their requests.
Go through the boards where you fit in and move on to the reception.
There were columns even before the reception.
Well, it's crowded here, too.
There's nowhere to go, so do you want to line up?
Those ahead in line saw Eva's wheelchair.
Eva finished the order, did she finish the actuary, or she quickly spins around in a wheelchair and turns around, glancing at me in line before proceeding outside the guild to the wheelchair.
Are you leaving already?
Without any greeting, say goodbye.
... I also feel like I miss you something.
I waited for the order as I felt a little empty.
It's my turn to submit the Adventurer Card, Monster of Requested Materials, and the excessive amount of Demon Stone requested for Demon Stone Requested, and the head of the Dinosaur Monster not requested but recovered.
"This is silver Volk. Huh!
The receptionist reacts surprisingly.
"Yes."
"No way, did you defeat Silver Volk by yourself?
"Technically, you two, does it feel like I knocked you down by myself?"
To that word, she drops the blade pen she had in her hand.
"Oh well, he's an amazing adventurer. Silver Volk, who appeared on the shallow floor, had been asked to crusade and had been left alone for a long time, being defeated….... You haven't received a request to crusade Silver Volk, have you?
The receptionist's eye flickers and goes downstairs.
I was reading through the information on my card that I was submitting.
Was there a limited request?
"I didn't take it."
"Really... and no reward"
"Okay. It would be enough to get the money as a defeated material."
"Yes. And did you recover the silver Volk mucus?
Mucus? Oh, that thing you were throwing up from your mouth.
"No, I didn't"
"Really? That would be an expensive buy because it would be a special silver yarn, unfortunately. But you have all the other requested materials. … amazing."
The receptionist stared at me with a caged gaze of heat as she checked the material.
Whoa? Did this kid have a thing for me?
And I'm going to think about over-conscious thoughts, “Your blue-eyed, beautiful," or some nappy dialogue where my teeth are going to float.
"- Then we will prepare the reward as soon as we confirm the Demon Stone."
That's right. The receptionist speaks in a sober tone.
He was shifting his gaze away from me and back in work mode.
... I was right to keep the numb words just in my brain.
"... Regards"
I get paid by the receptionist who finishes the settlement of the request with the Demon Stone.
Lifted a bag containing gold and silver coins.
This, good weight that feels like a reward.
The sound of Zach Zak and gold coins rubbing off.
Forty-five pieces of gold and a hundred and ten pieces of silver coins, combined with the amount requested and the excess amount of Demon Stone?
I feel good, and I'm satisfied.
It's not the Warlord's Oka Left, but I think I know you want to sleep on the gold coin.
But it also seems hard to save gold coins until you lay them down.
With a garlic smile on his face, he puts a gold coin bag in the item box.
And check the Adventurer card.
Name: Shuya Kagari
Age: 22
Title: Dragon exterminators
Race: People
Occupation: Adventurer C Rank
Affiliation: None
Combat Occupation: Spear Martial Arts: Chain Use
Request for Achievement: 25
...... Punish the card on your chest belt.
I move away from the reception and move on to the boards crowded with adventurers.
In the meantime, shall we go back to the inn?
and right after leaving the guild.
Oh? It's Eva.
They waited for me.
He was just waiting for me at the edge of the entrance.
"Okay, have you been waiting?
"Mm-hmm... come on"
Eva was dyeing her cheeks red.
Come on. And when you whine small, Eva runs a wheelchair and goes ahead.
I was a little late, and I followed Eva in a small run.
Push the handheld handle behind the wheelchair and walk with it.
Keep it up, in a few minutes.
"Eva, where are you taking me?
"Mmm, over there."
Eva points her finger at the end of the street, but there is a shop lined up ahead.
I don't know much because I don't have many words.
Immediately after pointing his finger at him, Eva was moving forward away from the hand pressing handle.
"Nah."
Black Cat (Lolo) also goes after Eva's wheelchair.
Where the hell are you taking me......
Well, is this a good idea sometimes?
Follow me.
Would you have walked down the street or alley for a few hours......
The wheelchair is fast, so it runs at a slight pace.
Far away, but it doesn't seem bitter to her.
Going down a big hill at that rate, I could see the Heim River.
Numerous ships stop and large bridges can be seen in the distance.
Near the harbor, apparently.
Along the Heim River or is this southeast of Pernette?
Black Cat (Lolo) is tired of walking and sleeping in her headscarf.
So, Eva stopped walking in the wheelchair.
"Here, come"
street of the shopping district near the harbor.
The shop where Eva points her fingers is a two-story wooden house.
It has an old impression, but there is a beautiful flowerbed underneath the house, with purple flowers like a stroke blooming pitifully.
Eva's eyes are purple, and her hair is black, so you're a Yamato stroke.
Near the roof there was a sign that said “The Labyrinth Specialty Restaurant Ligna Di”.
Eva opens the wooden door of the store to the side and walks in.
"There you are - oh, lady! You're back from the labyrinth! Do you want to eat? Do you want to take a bath?
Clerk, a dog-eared beast woman in a supply came running over to Eva in a wheelchair.
Miss Eva? or something like that......
"Meals. Lily, stop the lady"
"Ha, come on. What about this one?
The Beast Man you called Lily.
The brown hair had dog ears growing from the head.
There are two canine teeth-like fangs from the mouth.
"Benefactor of life, so cooking is special"
"Hi-ha, hi-ha, yes, yes, I'll hurry up and bring you the food"
Lily runs to the kitchen, shaking her dog ears.
The store is neither spacious nor small.
To the right in front is a staircase that goes upstairs.
In the center there is a deep rectangular space, with floors lined between the plates, where innocent square desks and chairs line up.
In the back left, there was also a long, thin counter seat with reception.
"... sit down, sit down"
Eva was moving her wheelchair to the side of her desk and urging me to sit in the seat across the street.
"Can I think of this as a luxury?
That's what I say, sit down.
"Mmm."
Eva naturally nods her neck vertically in the way she feels.
"Oh well. Thank you. Then, for once, Lolo's share, too. Still sleeping on my back though."
"Mm-hmm. Lily, for another cook."
"Ha, ha, ha."
Lily looks adorably hasty and runs to the kitchen again.
But it also seems to be combative because it builds up magic on its feet.
"... the store here is Eva's?
"... no. Residence"
She was waving for the first time before answering.
Residence. There seems to be some reason.
Do you want to stick around a little?
"Earlier, it was like being called a lady"
"Mmm... not now"
Purple eyes are swimming.
Doesn't seem to want to talk much.
Turn this story around later......
"Oh well..."
"... n"
I blushed my cheeks and leaned down small.
From there, silence ensues.
Um, I guess Eva's going to thank you.
It's subtle air, I'm gonna nod.
I want him to play the cracker with a puff.
So I look around to delude the weird tension.
There is only one less guest. Old man eating liquor and fish dishes.
Beginning in the morning, booze and haha......
"- Shuya. Thanks for coming. I wanted to thank you for your help."
Watching such a drunken guest, Eva was thanking her.
"Whoa, I'm happy to eat, too. Thanks."
The food is brought there.
"Thank you for waiting." "Stewed ligna dust” and “Japanese-style ziguar with blue sauce." “Grilled ligna fish” and “Special pucco."
Lily, the waitress beast, cheers up the name of the dish she had, she lines up at her desk.
I paid attention to the dish.
At first, "Stewed Rigna Dust."
This is a gratin-like dish in a deep bowl of square ceramics.
Next, "Japanese-style Zigua with Blue Sauce”
Zigua? It's an ingredient I've never seen before.
Light brown and elongated like a cow. It is put on a long thin vessel.
Around the elongated branches were large white balls, like grapes peeled from the beginning.
The clear white balls are soothed with a blue sauce.
I can't imagine the taste.
Next, "Grilled Ligna Fish."
Is this baked fish like sea bream?
Lolo's share.
After that, “special pucco."
Food with black objects in a small square vessel.
Finally, black bread and honey wine were placed.
The same dishes are arranged for Eva.
"Nnh, nya"
Did you get caught smelling the meal or the black cat (lolo) woke up?
"Wake up, or you'll have Lolo's share. You can eat. Oh, you eat well."
"Nah."
Gladly stretches out his sweet voice.
I was getting off my shoulder to my desk and started eating fish dishes on my desk, although it might be a violation of manners.
"... Lolo, good health, have some shuya too"
Eva smiles and tells me.
"Copy that. - I'll take it."
Hands together.
Stewed ligna dust, eat from gratin.
I can tell it's hot from the surface. There was a brown burning eye on the milky white membrane.
It also had a wooden spoon, so I tear my scorch with a spoon and spoon the troublesome, sticky stuff in it.
Carry it to your mouth while it lasts.
Is the stickiness a membrane of cheese? It's creepy, hot, but good.
The thick feel spreads across your mouth.
Oh, come on, there was a feeling of lightness.
Is there something scaly in the thick? This, scaly, but feels finely covered with potato chips.
It feels like a crisp, crisp, delicious gratern. Ugh.
Not only that, but there are other white fish and thick mushrooms in there.
Mushrooms taste good again. The flavor has grown thick on the big one.
Oh, this feels good. Nice.
Looks like it's got some crushed potatoes in it, too.
Hidden spices are also good.
This would have been better if it had included macaroni or something.
With that in mind, the bread goes with the gratin as well, as it goes with the sticky bread.
"Thank you, Eva. It's delicious."
"Mmm."
Eva, while eating, turned a smile on me.
I drink a lot of honey and smile back.
As it is, he also drinks like a very throaty noise.
In the end, I ate all the bread and gratin first.
Next...
Let's try this strange jiggle and dot.
It looks like a beef eel and a wonder ingredient for grapes.
"Can you eat all this?
"Mmm."
Eva nods with a full grin.
Looks like you can also eat the brown beef belly.
But first, it would be from this transparent white ball.
I wondered if it was sweet, poking the tip of the knife into the white balls and carrying myself to my mouth.
Huh!? Meat? What do you mean?
Besides - delicious.
Hey, what's this, not fruit?
Meat feel at first. Speaking of meat feel like a lever.
That's why there's no smell. The more you chew, the more salt you add and subtract, the more warmth you feel in your mouth, and the more sweetness and spiciness drift through your mouth.
At the end of the day it stopped melting......
This is a completely unknown ingredient.
Bring it to your mouth when it is flaky. Ugh.
Chewing the white balls with a mess, he also tries to cut the oxen area with a knife and carries it to his mouth.
Oops, this again, su, wow.
The meat feel of the white egg changes to a sweetness like corn juice in response to the feeling of eating a firm vegetable.
I quickly lost half of it.
That, something, magic overflows from the inside of my body...
Could it be the effect of this ingredient?
Wow, this is it as soon as I put it in my stomach. Is it fast acting?
Set aside the dietary effects.
I haven't eaten the mysterious blue sauce yet.
To that mysterious blue sauce, I'll try Tunzuktung Arale just ahead of the knife.
The surface is pristine, but the contents are thick.
Gelatin, is it close to jelly?
Yeah, stay. Let's try it.
Bring the sauced white balls to your mouth.
"Uh-oh."
More sweetness, you say? Ugh, I'm surprised.
Is this grain in the sauce?
Besides, when white balls and blue grains mix and bite, white balls can play on your tongue and disappear, right? Where are you going? Oh, it changed to a carbonated taste.
White egg meat will taste different again.
Strange. Sweet tropical flavor?
My mouth refreshed at once and mellowed at the end.
"Mmm."
Eva saw my strange face and said something.
"Hey, this dish is so delicious."
"Good."
Smiled.
Eva...... I don't have many words, but you have a rich expression.
I finish eating the unknown ingredients Jigua's blue sauce softening while watching such a beautiful Eva face.
At the end of the day, the name in the small bowl is a dish that seems to have black stickiness, such as a special pucco.
Close your nose and when you smell it...... the smell is completely seaweed tenderloin.
It's Gohan.
I tried eating a little something black on the tip of the knife.
It's called color, it's called stickiness, it would totally be.
I took a bite, and then the nostalgic taste of seaweed spread in my mouth.
The sea, it is as deep a love as my mother...... a wave scene striking down the coastline comes to mind.
I wish I had rice......
Why, now we don't have any rice! And I want to say it out loud.
"... Hated it?
Eva looked anxious suddenly as she watched.
"Yes, no, because it's delicious"
That reminds me of my hometown.
I moistened my eyes with a small amount of specialty pucco.
Eva smiles and is satisfied when she sees me eating.
"Mmm... good"
Eva says a word, leans down small and squeaks.
Thus, I finished eating all the dishes.
The black cat (Lolo) is also finished eating all but the special pucco, washing her face with her feet and peppering.
Surprise. Do you like it or not?
That tenderloin-like dish of seaweed is delicious.
Well, do you want to talk and then go home?
"... Welcome Eva. To be honest, I'm surprised at the food here. I didn't lose the fancy food and it was delicious. And it was an unknown experience."
"Mm, the cock is excellent. And materials."
I know the cock is excellent, but is it still material?
"When it comes to materials?
"Food growing in the labyrinth, or monsters.... mushrooms, slime, pucco, zigua, all, from the labyrinth"
Ugh, seriously.
"It's okay to eat, isn't it?
Oh, that's rude.
"Mm, of course."
Is it from the labyrinth?
It had a strange taste.
"Eva provide the material?
"Mm-hmm."
"Will some foods grow in the labyrinth turn monsters into food too"
"Some things are valuable."
Heh, the labyrinth has all sorts of by-products.
Then I let them eat...
"Are the ingredients valuable now?
"Mmm, not all of them, but the right answer"
Eva is right. I was nodding and answering.
"Oh, yeah?"
After all, did you feed me a dish of precious ingredients?
Ah, there you go.
No matter how much I said thank you for your help, I was eating easily......
Then Eva moves the wheelchair closer.
He stopped next door and put Eva's own hand over mine.
Eva's palm, warm.
But it's a little stiff.
"I don't care. Materials Still Remaining"
Oh, wow.
Like you read my mind, I've guessed what I care about.
admiring the beauty of its exploration,
"Really?"
and return words without difficulty.
"Mmm."
Eva gave me an indescribable gentle smile.
I got embarrassed, so I pull my hand away.
Misunderstood, as if I had taken it and attached it, and put out the words.
"... Is the reason Eva is an adventurer is because of this store?
"Eh, but also to live because I will be strong"
She shakes her neck vertically, shaking her long dark hair.
Is it to protect the store, to be strong and to live?
At that time, I could see Lily, the waiter behind Eva, staring at me and Eva with a happy look on her face.
That girl named Lily seems to admire Eva very much.
Please say "lady."
"Eva, the pretty salaried woman behind you, Lily, is she, like, a former subordinate or something?
"Mmm... yes. Once upon a time, at the Baron's, I hired him."
Was it used to be the Baron's house?
Baron Nightley's house?
"That's why you called me a lady"
"Mmm."
Eva nods facelessly, without smiling.
"If you don't like it, I won't ask you deeply."
"Sorry......"
Eva lowers her purple eyes and sinks her face.
Well, this topic still seemed NG.
You want to follow up?
"... no, I don't mind. Thank you for meeting us more than that, huh?
"Thank you?"
"Yes. We happened to meet in that labyrinth. But this is how you get your meal."
Besides, it tasted amazing.
"Mmm."
Nod small, Eva.
"Same adventurer, fellow we fought together, albeit temporarily"
"Hey, Nakama..."
Eva shrugged small, closing and opening her eyelids flashing, blinking, repeating the words of her companion.
"Can't you?
"- Uh-huh."
Eva shakes her head hard left and right and denies it.
"Okay. - Keep it up, please."
Stand up and give Eva one arm sitting in a wheelchair.
Shake hands with you.
"?...... nice to meet you"
Eva is talking about dyeing her cheeks red.
But look at my hand, Hatena face.
My hand was ignored.
Death Yone.This is a different world.
Shaking hands isn't necessarily a common understanding of greeting, is it?
But Eva has repeatedly nodded her neck vertically and replied to me with a small voice.
I pulled my arm in and left my head pounding so I could delude myself.
"Well, I've filled my belly, and it's time to go home."
"Mmm."
When I say that and show her how I'm going home, Lily, who has been sneering behind Eva's back, quickly approaches Eva and looks into her ear and talks to Koso somehow.
Eva nodded yeah and Lily shouted again
"This is an opportunity. Lady, I was wondering if I should apply for a party."
Eva, for a moment, was eye-opening and surprised, but slowly looked ready to nod.
Her purple pupils and blackish glow capture me.
It's a party. I think I'll be fine once I get here...
A little harsh in my case.
I have a cause with the Dark Alliance, and when I put it together all the time, it annoys them.
Thinking it was bad for Eva, I thought about saying no, and I moved to go home.
"Shuya, wait"
"What?"
Eva deforms the wheelchair, too, so as to correct her posture.
As I was showing it once in the labyrinth, the back part rolls up and deforms.
The part where I was sitting started to support my leg.
Also a segway type.
Eva opens her small mouth in a position that looks like she stood.
"I want you to party with me all the time."
"A party..."
"Huh."
Eva shakes her head hard and vertically if she is desperate.
"We haven't known each other long, have we?
"I don't mind."
Purple eyes are powerful.
"I'm going to buy a slave, aren't I?
"Mmm, naturally."
Is that normal in this world?
"Besides, I like women and have quite a sketchy preference"
I'll also tell you something sketchy.
"Mm, Shuya is a man. Eh, no, of course not."
Oh, she's a woman of understanding.
But......
"... right, but I can't. Eva annoys me."
I said no.
The waitress beast shows some reassuring sleigh, and Eva drops her shoulder and shows her shocked face.
As it were, it deformed so that the wheelchair Eva was in shriveled.
I was back in my usual sitting position.
Eva looks up, staring at me.
"... why? Because I have a malformed bone leg? Or because they call it a wheelchair of death?
I've been asking you in a strong tone.
The kind of asshole I heard somewhere.
But I don't care what that name is.
Sincerely.
"It's not. I have a problem. I'm hostile to the Dark Alliance. Other bodies with sparks. So if you party with me, there's a good chance Eva's in danger."
"... I didn't know"
"That's natural. I just told you."
At that time, also, Lily, the beast woman whispers in Eva's ear.
I talk to Kosokoso face-to-face, but gradually it became loud and gradually began to turn into a quarrelsome voice.
"... it's dangerous"
"I want to assemble"
"If his story is true, it means the store here is in danger of being targeted, too, right?
"Mmm... only Shuya"
"Ugh, lady."
"- It's noisy, what's wrong?
Then a large, sinister old man appeared in cock, hearing even the kitchen.
"Oh, Mr. Dee, please stop the lady. I can't stop wanting to party with someone who's dangerous."
"Mm, Lily, not like the first"
"Ah, indeed, at first, I apologize for urging the lady to invite him, also in evil. But the Dark Alliance is too dangerous for them."
The beast woman called Lily calls the old man in cock Dee and explains how he's been.
Is that mind-blowing old man a cock?
A well-armed cook.
Yeah, I respect that. Do it with Mr. Dee.
"Is it hostile to the Dark Alliance...... sure, it's troublesome, but is it someone Miss Eva likes?
Old man Dee in cock puts his hand on his chin beard and looks at me.
And patrol.
I was free for a little while and talking toward Eva.
"-"
Eva nods her neck big, energetic and vertical as she rotates and turns the wheelchair toward Cock's Dee.
"Then you have no choice. This store will be well protected by me and Lily, so I will support Lord Eva."
"Uh, even Mr. Dee?
Lily concaves her dog ears.
"Well, I guess I'm the bad guy, I won't stop the lady anymore."
Lily puts her body aside.
Eva, who was watching it, moves her wheelchair closer to Lily, the supplier.
I took that hand to comfort Lily, who bullies me.
"Worrying Lily. But thanks."
"Oh, my lady..."
Have we got a story?
But does Eva want to party with me that much?
Ma, Eva is strong, and she's the beauty owner with clear skin in her purple eyes.
It's all right to throw a party...
If the Dark Alliance feud got the people in this store involved, it would be too bad aftertaste.
Well, I anticipate a pessimistic future for this, it's my fault.
"Shuya -"
Eva called my name forcefully so as to stop my pessimistic delusions.
Move the wheelchair and come beside me.
"Yeah?"
"Party with me… all the time"
The tone of her voice is higher and Eva's face is bright red and serious.
You made me feel so ashamed, like you were confessing.
He moves his thin white hands from his black sleeve.
Cute.
I can't help it. Before the damage happens as a party......
Shall we just smash [the fangs]?
"It's dangerous, okay?
It's already been decided in my mind, but again, I'll just give you a warning.
"Mmm."
Eva nods adorably.
"Okay. If it's okay with conditions, let's form it."
"- Uh-huh."
How happy is Eva, spinning a wheelchair around on the spot?
My body jumps forward from the wheelchair I was sitting in and it feels like a hug to me.
Oh, it feels like Ava's boobs.
It did convey a soft, "pungent" feel behind the stiff feel of leather armor.
A slight feeling from over purple armor, but definitely.
Surprisingly big or something?
My boob sensors are high.
Thank you, boobies.
Imagine the shape of your mumps and tits, and look at Eva's face holding onto her.
Her long hair was tangled around her cheeks and mouth.
It looks tangled with sweat. It's a little horny.
"Ha, ha, are you that happy?
If you imagine, your nose is going to bleed, so your porn heart is sealed.
When I smiled and repaired her, I untied her long hair tangled in her cheek, then supported her back and gently returned her to her wheelchair.
"... I've always been alone"
Eva sits deeply in a wheelchair, nodding, looking up at me, a drop of tears is coming from those purple eyes, transmitting her cheeks.
Rebecca and I have different personalities, but couldn't we party the same and the person was worried?
I guess I can't help it because it has the nickname of a wheelchair of death or something.
"... well, I'm gonna cry"
Something goes wrong when a beauty cries.
The waitress beast also wept in her eyes, crying for her.
I was happy. Cock's old man nods happily too.
I deliberately changed the subject here......
"... I told you I was conditional, right?
"What?"
Eva blinks and looks at me.
"I want to live freely, I mean it. I may be, but I don't want to be tied to a party."
"Absolutely. Private Importance"
"So, if we're free with each other when we challenge the labyrinth, how about we party like we're inviting? I'll tell you where I usually stay."
"That's fine. No more" buddies, "Shuya's freedom.
A buddy?
That's what I casually said earlier, but what do you care? It sounds like it's sinking into my heart.
We met and it's short. But Eva has a true attitude.
Sometimes it starts with believing in everything.
Let's try to believe her.
That Eva opens her mouth.
"... this store is important to me too. Some secrets I haven't told you yet. It's often private. So easy inviting people is very important"
Right. Eva is right.
I was thinking too hard.
"All right, Eva. Again, thank you."
"Yes, I am."
Such a gentle smile.
"It's about the inn I'm staying in, but the place is ahead of me on the upper-left alley on First Round Table Avenue. Her name is [Labyrinth Lodging Moon] and the general is Merle."
"Roger. [Labyrinth Moon] I remember"
"Hey, so, all of a sudden, after noon tomorrow, if you're free, you're going to the labyrinth?
"Come on!
Eva nods hard and vertically.
"All right, you know what? hehe."
"Mmm."
Stare at each other with a smile.
"Then I'll kill you and run errands. I'll meet you in the Adventurer's Guild after noon tomorrow. - Lolo, I'm leaving."
"Nha."
Black Cat (Rollo) comes up on his shoulder in good time.
"See you tomorrow."
"Mm, tomorrow."
I look at Eva's angelical smile, and then I nod with a smile, too.
He raised his hand gently and then turned back his heel, leaving the store behind.
