A dozen days after turning the chatter.
I came here today to check on the progress in the association of Knoll and Severia, but I left the association behind because there were no reports of particular concern.
"After all, there have been no reports of the discovery of Diabols since then,"
Not a single report of the discovery of Diabols has come up from the disturbances at the temple. Though we keep investigating, it's as if no progress has been made.
I'm also looking into how the hunting grounds may be strange, but other than the Cancer Cave, things are not changing.
I don't care if you think this commotion is over... I can't tell you anything about Estelle's predictions.
Looks like the other adventurers are still investigating, so I'd like to see a little more and make a decision.
I have also decided on a visit to the Temple with my promise to Mr. Irina, and I intend to continue my activities around Severia for a while.
"Was that all you were in Sevaria?
"I don't know. If that all cured the commotion like this, I'd be glad to... I'm even suspicious of getting an item reward."
"Are you going to stick there after all...... This is more the case with Lord Okura."
"You idiot! I can't believe I'm in such danger just because of justice!
I'm trying to solve the anomaly because I thought I might get an item.
He said he could do it with honor or justice!
Yet you defeat the Grand Doris and have no reward... you can't do it.
Well, I'm glad you prevented Severian connections from disappearing and going to a great deal of trouble.
I'm glad Irina appreciated it, too, though it was illuminating.
... I was afraid Cisha and Estelle would send a strange gaze though.
What a thought, Knoll walking next door began to whine unexpectedly.
"I didn't help you at all this time..."
"Yes, what's all of a sudden?
"Because you couldn't discover anything in the investigation, and you just ran away in the battle at the temple... It's like I came to Severia just to pick crabs. Lord Okura put up so much body and Estelle and the others worked..."
What's the sudden matter? I told him I was only here to pick crabs myself.
He did pick crabs with joy, and although he may have had less noticeable activity than the Estelles... I don't think he was of any use.
"Uh, yeah. Don't worry about that. The division of roles is important. Says he just got away with it, but you owe it to Knoll to keep Mr. Irina and the others safe, don't you?
"It wasn't my job... and the demons didn't attack me."
"That just turned out to be the case. If Diabols had ambushed you outside, it would have been dangerous without you, wouldn't it? I thought about that possibility, and I let you take the lead in getting away. That's why I was able to safely bump into it!
"Oh, I don't know if I can safely bump it... but I'm really glad you're safe."
I was able to make an immediate escape decision there, thanks also to the presence of Knoll.
Otherwise we might not have all escaped safely.
As a result, the demons didn't attack me after I ran away, but I can't help but know that beforehand.
That said, Knoll is still pointy and dissatisfied with his mouth.
"Well, that's the thing, so don't worry about it. Instead, if there's a full-scale battle, Knoll can count on you, so good luck then."
"… Copy that. We'll do everything we can then."
"Oh, I'm counting on you."
He replied once, but he's still a little toothless if he cares about Knoll.
Though he's better than before, he's still the one who cares about the details.
All right, let's even make one mood change here.
"Because of this, why don't you and I go out for dinner? I'll take care of everything today."
"What, are you two? Estelle and the others..."
"Uh, well, sometimes it's good. I've been doing a lot of work lately, and it feels like I'm breathing."
I keep relying on Knoll about Freesia, and even if we're helping, they're just cooking us a meal.
The previous knoll seemed a little easier, but I also feel more and more reluctant as the numbers grew.
... I also feel it's caused by more freedom buddies than Knoll. That includes me, so I'm sorry about that.
That's why I invited her to dinner with daily thanks, but I'm reluctant to just go.
I don't have a choice, shall I give him another push?
"You can eat as much as you want today. If you don't want to..."
"Go! You are going!
You fell off lightly!? Would it have tasted bad to say it was full of thoughts...... no, you'd be fine if you just ate rice on a boulder.
As a result of thinking so lightly and going into the right restaurant with a bit of anxiety.
"Hmm, it's delicious. Oh, it's a replacement!
Raising one hand lightly, Knoll demanded a replacement.
The top of the table is filled with empty dishes, and the clerk rushes down the plate to bring in new dishes.
The other guests in the store looked at our table in surprise, and some of them were so excited about how much Knoll would eat.
Yeah, it was sweet. I was watching Knoll's appetite too sweetly. You don't expect me to eat up six or seven dishes while I'm done eating one soup.
Is this guy's stomach a black hole? I'd like to put you up for a big food tournament.
There are few guests in time, but one dish after another comes out so hastily that it seems full when you look at the kitchen.
"I said thoughtfully, do you eat this far... Well, that's fine because I said so."
"Instead, Lord Okura has too many snacks. If you don't eat harder, you don't become a tough flesh!
"I'm not aiming for a tough flesh... that's about enough for me"
I pick the roasted fish dish with a grudge.
If you eat the same amount as Knoll, your stomach will break before you become a tough flesh.
I thought you already ate about 20 servings. I don't have a problem with the money... but how much I end up eating.
It feels good to watch as usual. I don't mind because it's full of food.
"After all, Port Town has many delicious fish dishes. It's helpful."
Only restaurants in Port Town, the main menu is mostly seafood.
Shellfish and fish, of course, are of a wide variety when grilled or simmered with shrimp, squid, and other soups.
I looked for something raw like sashimi, but apparently it wasn't in this store.... That's a shame.
Because it's not an expensive store, flavoring is something that tastes great. But as far as I'm concerned, the taste is reassuring.
It's easier to get used to a store like this. Food from Gacha is pretty tasty, but it tastes good in these stores too.
I was anxious at first in the other world, but this world is stable for the price of cooking. Demonic ingredients are often misplaced.
But I guess I like the flavor of knoll more than the taste of the store.
"I do think this flavor is delicious, but I like your food at home, too."
"What... also, already! Lord Okura has a good mouth! Today we're going to get one more dish!
Is it a shade of light? Knoll is shaking one hand.
Yay, don't get one extra compliment every time.
"Nevertheless, it's been a long time since you and Ogura had dinner together"
"Right. Ever since the two of us were staying at the inn? It's been a long time since."
"It's a long one in retrospect. Begin the adventurer, call the Estelles, get a home too... there's something emotional about it. It's a nostalgic memory of being dropped from a tree."
"I am so sorry about that verse..."
"Hmm, it's a joke. A joke. I don't care anymore."
Nole was laughing when he looked at me lowering his head deeply.
I don't know because I accidentally dropped it from a tree.
Even if it's a joke, I feel sorry for the memories I miss.
We had such an interaction but ate for a while and enjoyed the meal to Knoll until we felt comfortable.
"Hmm, I'm full. Lord Okura, it's a treat!
"Oops... you seem satisfied and above all"
Leaving the store, Knoll is happily pounding his pompous and slightly swollen stomach.
The cost of this meal swelled to nearly 400,000 Gs. It's not a luxury store, but this price.
That's right, Knoll, how many servings did you eat? I was impressed by the reassuring look on the clerk's face I saw when I left.
Because it wasn't a strange pace when the ingredients ran out...... He insulted Knoll's stomach.
Before I said I'd be extravagant, I kept the payment from pocket money that I personally earned.
"I'm the only one who's had this treat and I feel a little bad about Estelle and the others."
"Knoll always gets me to cook rice, and sometimes it's good. Even Estelle and the others shouldn't care."
We went to the association. We just ate dinner, so the Estelles don't care either... maybe.
When Knoll is making his own, he can't make this amount of boulder.
"What do you say, you feel a little better?
"... Yes, Moya Moya is perfectly clear."
"Good for you. If we get a chance, we can go out together again like this."
"That's right. Thank you very much, Lord Okura."
The atmosphere before eating the rice was dust-free and apparently blew out.
It won't be a bad idea to continue going to dinner with you this way.
