"All right, then eat it! Cleto, eat well today!
"Thank you! Cheers!"
Cheers for bumping into Andre and a glass of wine.
The sound of a clear glass echoes in the living room.
Just like that, me and Andre open the glass.
"Ooh, rich and easy to swallow!
Andre was right, the wine here was just in balance with acidity and bitterness and was very tasty. It's very different from the oddly sour wines that are hard to swallow in the dining room.
"Right? Our village wine is delicious!
I hear honest words of praise and Andre rejoices as much as he does about himself.
Sometimes you just like wine, but I guess you simply like the village of Howlin.
Watching Andre's innocence reveals that.
"Gratin, serve."
"Thank you"
While I was toasting the wine, Stella gave me a glass of gratin from a large plate.
Because of this, I decided to get it from Gratin first.
When I soaked the gratin with a spoon, Mi and Cheese stretched out. long threaded. Try to wrap it around and put it in your mouth.
Bite off the hot, alright gratin as you roll it in your mouth.
Rich cheese is tangled up in hawky potatoes. Dusty potatoes and cheese can't be incompatible. It also has a slight cream flavour and is great.
"It's delicious!
"I'm glad it fits Mr. Cleto's mouth."
When I divulge my thoughts, Stella smiles happily and says:
"Ahhh!
"It's okay, Nina? Let's eat after it's a little cooler."
"... yeah"
Apparently it was a little hot for my kid Nina. She is drinking water with her little one in tears. Even that look is adorable.
"Don't hesitate to eat as there are many"
"Yes, thank you"
I feel like I've become a child even to myself because I'm kind of a motherly person.
If my mother had lived, would she have smiled like this?
What a refreshing tooth as I proceeded to eat Gratin with my thoughts.
Apparently there were onions in there in addition to mushrooms. Occasionally, the taste and texture of the sweet onion makes it a really good accent.
The scorch is crisp, and Stella's gratin is great.
Proceeding with a little gratin, he now reaches for a meat yukke called Tatar, which he was concerned about.
Spoon crush the yellow body on top of the meat and try to shrug it as it is.
The taste of fresh red meat spreads. There is no odor at all because it is treated thoroughly downwards.
The lightly mixed spices tingle, but the yellow richness mellowed it.
"This Tatar is delicious!
"It's delicious to apply to bread as it is!
Imitate Nina eating on bread and I eat Tatar on bread too.
"True! Yummy!"
With that said, Nina laughs happily.
As much as I'd like to sandwich it and take it home if it doesn't deteriorate. No, wait. Could my space magic be food or not?
It's also weird to have dinner at people's houses and let them take it home, so I'll stop, but next time I find something that looks delicious, I'll decide to store it from one end.
Mouth the salad on chopsticks rest while cementing such determination.
But that was a substitute that didn't end with chopsticks.
"This salad is sweet and delicious"
Light and sour sauce, but enough without it.
"You just got caught in our field. It's so sweet, isn't it?
"Does Mr. Andre also do fields?
"Mainly Stella and Nina take care of me. I'm more of a hunter or a village guard."
"I see. So you're in good shape"
I walked into Howlin Village and saw some villagers, but Andre was out of shape in there. Honestly, I think you look more adventurous than me.
"Have your own fields. Nice."
I've never done agriculture, but I find myself yearning to build my own fields and grow crops.
"Oh, you want to try Cleto, too? Quit being an adventurer and live in this village! I'll teach you how to hunt, not just the fields, okay?
"That's the kind of life you might want to have when you calm down."
It may be difficult now that I haven't been able to establish my own income, nor can I afford it, but there may be such a future.
◆
The day after we had dinner at Andre's house.
I decided to accompany Andre to the delivery in the morning.
It was unclear where Greg and the Taylors were, but Andre would guide us, so no problem.
As the cool breeze blows in the morning, we go down the field road.
Very quiet with no cluttered signs or noise. There can't be a crowd, there can't be a sudden carriage coming on alert and not having to stop at the edge.
There were not many signs of people, and birds were heard from afar.
"It's a good village. I feel the flow of time slowing down when I'm here."
You don't have to work here because of it, you don't have to look good. It's just that there's a lot of leisure time flowing.
Ru.
"From a young guy, a lot of people get bored with it."
"Boredom is a luxury."
Back in my previous life, I was desperate because I would live on the spot, and there weren't many moments that seemed that way.
When I think about it, I'm happy to think you're bored. I don't even think people are bored if they can't afford it.
"Depends on what you think. I kinda liked that dialogue."
"Use it right here."
What a conversation, going down the field road, I saw some private houses gathering.
When he got there, Andre stopped.
"This is where Greg and Taylor live."
"You're next door to each other."
"Well, I think that's why we've been so sensitive to each other."
Andre laughing gahaha.
I guess Greg and Taylor are childhood friendly guys.
Those two fly out of the village and become adventurers. It's such a dramatic event, but I guess it's common from people in this world.
"In the meantime, I'll call you, okay?
"Please"
Andre, the familiar one, is less alert than I call him out of the blue.
When Andre knocked on each house and explained, a man with a nervous face and a puffy aunt came out.
Greg's father.
It's Taylor's mother.
"I've been asked to deliver in Wang Du. I'm Cleto, the adventurer. I've come to deliver letters and money to both of you."
That said, I give Greg's father and Taylor's mother a letter, a leather bag with money.
Then we both got some confused look on our faces.
"... money too?
"Yes, I do?
"It was usually just letters, wasn't it?
Apparently he was surprised that money was included this time around.
Is there any reason to be confused if the delivery I always send includes something different?
"I just got a request from the guild to pick up the delivery, so I don't know the details, but maybe your letter says why"
Unfortunately, I don't know Greg or Taylor, so I don't even know the intent.
It's just that it's my job to deliver goods. I will certainly not peek into the contents of the letter, nor will I do anything to discredit the money.
"So is that."
When I said that, they opened the seal and began to look through the letter.
Waiting as it was, Greg's father folded the letter and put it in his pocket.
"Yeah, you have a lot of trust from your guild even though you're F-ranked."
"What did it say about me?
"The Alliance officials told me you could deliver the money for sure, so this time they decided to deliver the money as well."
Did you even take Kusha's advice? I can use the metastasis. I can deliver it safely and quickly.
"I hear it was an exam to see if you'd let the money slip, too, huh?
"Well, you did. Of course, I didn't do that, but it's the right amount, right?
"Oh, it matched the amount written in the letter."
Taylor's mother said with a laugh, and Greg's father was also horrified by the snort.
And the guild is mean, too. I can't believe there was such a scrutiny in the request for just deliveries.
"Thank you for taking the time from so far away."
"Say hi to my stupid sons when you see them."
When they signed the requisition, they went back to their respective homes.
