World Strongest Rearguard – Labyrinth Country and Dungeon Seekers

Episode 195: Lively Dining Table/New Job Skills

When I went to the Middle Alliance, I was taken back to the private room, and Maria, the cook, was in charge of our table.

There are 16 people sitting apart at two large tables. The Rykerton family and two Mistral workshops, Louisa and Pharma, are surrounding the table, and Theon is having his guard dog prepared and eaten in the space at the end of the room.

This time, I decided to have Mr. Fifty Arashi take the head of the toast. She stood up when everyone had an aperitif.

"I'm more lively and happy that Farma and Melissa's mother are here today. We have a very important purpose, but let's rest when we can, let's have fun when we have fun, let's prepare for important times... Cheers!

Cheers!

"Forest Diner" has a ale label called "Forest Poet." If you put it on the jack and drink it, the fruity aroma spreads and the bitter aftertaste is thin and easy to drink.

"Is it good that alcohol tastes good when I go to the upper district..."

"The idea that there are many things worth doing... no, I can't get drunk on alcohol."

"You don't have to worry about that in the back... is Serafina-san okay?

"I prefer not to drink alcohol because of my skill. Speaking of liquor itself, I like it....."

Does Serafina's 'Stoic' mean that she is not allowed to breathe sometimes? I think drinking it in front of my eyes is lacking in delicacy.

"Don't mind me. Originally, it's a hobby to moderate."

"Ah... I'm sorry. But I hope you'll be able to drink Serafina someday."

"Yes, I'd love to. But we don't know how much of the battle will be affected, so we should stay moderate for a while."

Everyone at the party is impressed by Serafina's abstinence - why there are so many members who seem uncomfortable.

"What happens if I take a look at Serafina and restrain myself? Can you be a Supergambler Misaki?

"Misaki can't drink yet... when you grow up, come with me."

"Tin and alcohol! Isn't it emotional for a childhood friend to drink alcohol together?

"Well, that's... maybe it would be better if we were alone then."

"Eh, with oniichan...? It's not that, but that means you drank my sashimi properly. Ah, I also know about salmon drinks.

"I'm not really sure, it's not too soon for Madoka to talk like that...."

Masaki gets a little older with Ellie's advice, but she's worried because she's watching too much tension. I'd like to thank her for making me forget that I was being pushed into this situation.

"My family also had a lot of people to drink, so they said I was going to be a liquor lord in the future."

"That's right... I'm from a cold land, so I think alcohol is a strong family."

Is it true that Madoka's house was quite a large family? Elitier opened her eyes impressively and then laughed at Madoka.

"That's what Ellie said. Actually, she seems weak after drinking it. It feels like she's grown up, and there's a lot of weaknesses."

"Back then... Masaki, can you talk to me so I can understand?

"Well, that's fine... it looks delicious from appetizers today."

Mr. Fifty Arashi will separate the hors d 'oeuvres from the platter, but the way they are served is beautiful and there is no curtain for me.

Unlike the vertical sweater you wore when you were reincarnated, Mr. Fifty Arashi wore the same type of knitwear - is it also the effect of illusion that accentuates the chest area when you bend forward? And don't hold your gaze in one place.

"Good work, everyone... Atobe-sama, your exploration is better and better."

Louisa comes and pairs me with a glass. She has returned and changed once, so the atmosphere is different from when she is at work - she is as big as ever, and if she stands next to me sitting down, she will have trouble seeing things.

"Thank you, Louisa. I have to do something like a bet tomorrow...."

"I'm always thrilled to open the 'Black Box'... Atobe-sama, thank you for calling me this time. I'm glad Theon's feeling better, she's a little older, in this short period of time."

"Yes, they are always active. He also helped the residents when he joined the Stampede crackdown in this district."

Theon was eating, but did you know what he was talking about? Look at me and shake his tail.

Ms. Rykerton was drinking Melissa when she emptied her first glass. Mr Ferris is also on hand - Mr Rykerton's eyes were shining.

You must not put water in the water without the parents and children now. Mr. Rykerton is looking at us, but he is silently raising the glass and sharing a little joy.

"Melissa and Rykerton are so happy... we need to take care of the opportunity to meet like this."

"Oniichan doesn't have half that kind of care. Since this happened to me, I've been destroyed by oniichan's kindness."

"So, I guess I did something wrong...?

Against it - all the friends who saw the reunion of the three members of the family have red eyes.

I think everyone is so kind, but Elitier doesn't want to see her face, and she's been looking away for a long time. Misaki seemed to be looking at it and wondering what to do, but Suzuna stopped him. There is something reassuring to see the balance between these three standing positions.

"I brought you soup and fish dishes."

The next dish comes in - the ingredients used in this dish were good for restoring magic. "Gaslang Fish Foil Steam" is said to increase lung capacity, but does it feel less tired?

"Dear Atobe, may I help you with your meal?

"Le, Louisa is tired too, so I'm here...."

"Onee-sama, you can't battle in the store. Yes, oniichan, it's a broccoli thing to go with."

"Misaki, I'll eat it for you...."

"... I'm just asking Suzuna... yes, no, I'm fine. Because I can eat it."

It seems that they will respond by declaring whether they like or dislike food in advance, so it would be better to hear and understand from everyone later.

Melissa and Ferris seemed blind to fish dishes - Telesia, who was sitting next to me, was no longer eating, and I felt relieved to see her as usual.

…………

"Nh... ah, is that okay?

Next to Louisa and Isarashi-san, Telesia will cut my fish and take it out with a fork.

"I can't beat Telegia in this way that you're finally entering oniichan."

It's time for Masaki to cut the conversation by about 30% - while passing on the responsibility for shame, Telegia ate fish dishes.

I'm a little worried that she's always focused on eating and baking me. Whether you're happy or not, there's no doubt about the former.

◆ ◇ ◆

After dinner, Ferris and Melissa will go back to our quarters together. Mr. Rykerton seemed to have something to say to me, and one of them stayed there.

"No, no... I'm sorry for showing my bad looks."

"That's not true. I thought it would be nice to have a family."

"Even if Alicht retires the Explorer, that will be a long time ago... but I'm sure you'll make a good family. I think I see that sight."

"Oh, no, that's... damn it."

Mr Rykerton smiles happily. Have you tried not to spend too much alcohol? The redness caused by alcohol has already subsided.

"As I told you earlier... I want to help Alicht and Ferris."

"Hmm... is that Ferris's party intention?

"My daughter is able to communicate with Ferris, so it's Ferris's own will. I don't know when or what form it will take, but can you consider it when she offers it?"

"Thank you very much. It's very helpful and pleasant to hear that."

In the battle against the Monkey Marquis, no matter how much power is gathered, it is not excessive. Even Melissa's mother doesn't want to get in danger - this is the conflict Elitier must have had.

What does Mr Rykerton think? Don't you think you don't want to put him in danger - he was beyond my worries.

"Something has been changing since Alicht came to my store that day. While I was waiting for my wife, I was wondering if there was anything else I could do... but I couldn't find anything else but do my daily work. That's why I'm happy. I'm here now, and Ferris wants to help Alicht."

"... Mr. Rykerton"

"You're like a star to me. It illuminated with its brilliance what could not have arrived. I admire you, Mr. Alicht."

"I... I'm here because everyone has helped me. Mr. Rykerton, of course."

Mr Rykerton nods without saying a reply and gives me his right hand. Then he grabbed it hard and left first.

"... stars..."

"Polaris" also remembers that the name of the party was taken as the name of the star.

Something that symbolizes us, something that is strongly connected. "Iron Wheels (Ariadne)" - Yes.

Like stars make constellations, we party together and spin the wheels in one direction.

Anyway, for me, all the parties were like a star of hope that helped me through a labyrinth that I couldn't get through by myself.

(... forget what I came up with... I wonder what everyone thinks)

I had to go out because the table had already begun to be cleaned up - and Maria just walked in towards the exit.

"Thank you, thank you for your meal. Everyone was delighted with all the delicious food."

"Thank you. It's a great honor."

Maria keeps her head down. When I did the same, I remembered how business cards were exchanged during the Salesman era.

"I was told by the party that they had crushed a monster with a name."

"Yes, I defeated a monster named 'Worshipper of Water Snakes'."

"... some people are avoided using the demons they crushed as ingredients, but if there are parts that are not used as ingredients, may I cook them?"

"Eh... yes. It doesn't matter."

When I thought of that fierce battle, I thought that eating the other person was just a little bit, but there are many ingredients from monsters that we usually eat.

"Now, if there's any part of the storage that could be used as food after dismantling, can you look at it?"

"Yes, sir. Is there anything else you'd like to know about cooking?

Maria takes out her notebook and asks for it - I was talking to Celeste about her request.

"I have some fruits to grow my abilities, can you cook them?

"Yes, it is possible. It's a precious ingredient, but you didn't eat it?

"I thought it would be good to eat it when I needed it, but I was told that it would be more effective if I cooked it... and I also served it here."

"Because you are the best at stampede suppression, we've offered you a bonus last time. Because the ingredients to improve our capabilities are not mass produced, we are very rare in arrival... if you can provide them, we will develop a recipe."

"It sounds like it's hard to start with a recipe...."

"There is a recipe creator in the 'cook' skill. It means you can understand how unknown ingredients are cooked with your senses."

"I see... thank you. When should I bring the ingredients?

"Tomorrow, I'll pick it up when we deliver breakfast. I'll see you tomorrow... no."

Install a cooking request and leave the Medium Alliance behind. I didn't think at all about cooking "named" - but if Maria offered, it might work.

◆ ◇ ◆

Elitier came back to the dormitory, crushing time until the bathroom was empty.

"Alicht, are you glad you didn't come in with Telesia?

"Well, well... I don't know what that is..."

"Fufu... I know, Telesia always follows you. Telegia came in with me, but I was about to soak up the water a little, so I told everyone to leave in a hurry....."

"Hmm... was Telesia okay?

"Yeah, he's in our room now. It seems to have calmed down after drinking water. I think she'll be here later, so just be careful and ask her how she's feeling."

In the bath, the resistance of the equipment is irrelevant, making it easier for Telesia to get up. As far as Elitier is concerned, it seems fine, but I feel like I'm about to get up.

Elitier is not surprised to see me like that, but laughs with her hand around her mouth.

"... I'm sorry. It's overprotective, don't worry so much."

"I think Telegia admires Ali Humans because they are such people. I don't have words to say, but I feel restless in the bath."

"I see... but I think if I could take a subhuman mask, Telesia's distance from me would change."

"When that happens, Telesia becomes reluctant... do you think so?

"I think that's natural. I'm not deciding what kind of character the original Telegia is....."

"... if we go to the other block, we'll find a way to get Telesia back. I want to talk to her too... and for that..."

I feel the same way in a hurry. But in order to move forward, we need to get the power we deserve.

"Alicht, it seems that the change of profession has increased my skill points..." Can I talk to you about which skill to acquire?

Elitier will show you the license. She moved in next to me, not on the couch opposite me.
