　When I tried to pass through the gate of the labyrinthine city, I was taken to a guard station by a father and son named Gulli. Then a soldier appeared and left after shouting that he was going to detain us. It was the most annoying thing ever.

"I'm sorry. If possible, we would have interviewed him here and then passed the story on to him. ......"

　The captain bows his head.

"Did you by any chance know the purpose of that soldier?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, we're not close, but we've known each other for a long time. I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you.

　He's going to have a hard time. If it were me, I would keep my distance from that type of person, but I guess I'm a bad person.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, as long as there's no harm done, it's fine. So, can I go now?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, I need you to answer a few questions."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought I could go home after fighting off the soldiers, but I guess not.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, I understand. But I haven't found a place to stay yet, so please do so as soon as possible.

　They asked me about my meeting with Viscount Galli and my whereabouts when I was not in the labyrinth city, but I think there was only one trap.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In a casual conversation, I was asked what I was doing when Viscount Galli went missing, and I would have answered that I was sleeping because it was nighttime if Sylphy hadn't blown the wind out of me. Was it a leading question?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was acting as if he had just found out about the disappearance of Galli and his son for the first time today, and it would surely be funny if he said he was sleeping at night or something. Maybe he was distracted by that soldier's dancing.

　After that, I got into the swing of things and mastered a few questions. Sylphy told me I looked a little glum, but I think I did OK.

　When I left the interrogation room after the interview, Gina and the others welcomed me. They said that they had finished the interview first. I bowed to them and left the room.

"Gina and the others were okay with the sudden interrogation, weren't they?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was fine. I was fine. I had only been an apprentice for a short time, so I knew very little. But he kept asking me if I was interested in his whereabouts when he was not in the labyrinth city. I told him it was a secret because it was an important place, but he kept asking me over and over again."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"We had no problem either. They asked us if the master had gone out in the middle of the night and, like Gina's sister, they asked us where the master was based.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hmmm, are you really that concerned about where my base is?　Yes, if Gulli and his son were kidnapped by me, I would consider the possibility that I am taking them back to my base.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I didn't force them to tell me where their base was."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I've been asked so many times.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So are we.

　I guess the military might do something stupid, but the guards don't seem to do anything too crazy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hey master, did you do something wrong to be interviewed by the guards?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Marco looks at me with innocent eyes. Well, I can't say that I've left the troublesome idiot aristocrat in a distant country because he's too depressed ...... yeah, I can't say that very much. I'll take that to my grave.

"Do you remember the last time we were staying at Marie's place and some pompous nobleman came to see us?　A very fat man."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, I remember. You are the nobleman who wanted the master to be his subordinate, aren't you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Marco and Kikka nodded their heads to Sara's words, as if they too remembered.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I heard that he and his father had gone missing. They wanted to talk to me, who they had met before that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Gina and the others nodded in agreement. My heart is aching, but someone once told me that if you tell a lie, it becomes true, so I'll take it to my grave.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I know it's a little late, but is Gina coming back to her parents' house?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, that's right. Well, I'm sure we can talk now, so I'll go and show my face."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Okay, I'll see you at Torque's inn in the evening. If I can't get a room, I'll come to the dining room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay, I'll be there."

　Gina leaves Gina to go visit her parents, and we head to Marie's grocery store. Gina went with Dolly, so we were in good hands.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Welcome, Mr. Yuta."

　I don't think I've seen this pattern in a long time. I step into the general store and before I know it, Sonia is right in front of me, greeting me with a smile. I wonder how she knows we're here. It's too strange.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Sonia, it's been a long time. I would like to meet Marie, is she here?　If I can't make it, I'll come back. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No problem. I'll get you there right away. How are you doing, Sarah?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Sarah and the others are going to take a look around, so don't worry about them."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I told Sarah and the others to pick out some accessories for their rooms, so they will have plenty of time to kill. Deanne was also somewhat excited, but I wonder how she is going to tell Sarah and the others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I also had to buy curtains for everyone's rooms and Gina's bed for the mobile base. We'll have to go to the furniture store.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sonia leads me and Sylphy to the reception room. After Ms. Sonia went to call Marie, a beautiful female waitress brought us some tea. ......Maybe I've been cleared of suspicion since I took Gina as my apprentice. I am very happy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yuta, it's fine to be happy, but your face is sloppy. Marie will be here soon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was so happy and smiling, and then he told me I had a sloppy face. What did he mean by "sloppy face"?　As I was wondering, just as Sylphy said, Marie came in right away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yuta-san, I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, I'm sorry for coming on such short notice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, no, Yuta-san is always welcome. Would you like to stay at the villa again?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's a little tempting, but Gina and Sara are looking forward to learning to cook from Mr. Torque. They will be disappointed if they stay in that house.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, we will stay at the inn this time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sorry to hear that. You are always welcome to stay with us, so please don't hesitate. Please do not hesitate to stay at our house or your house.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Marie says with a smile and a laugh. I don't even want to know why she included the main house.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Thank you very much. ...... Well, actually, I have a few requests for you, Marie, if you don't mind."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, of course. Yes, of course.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

First of all, can you tell me if you have made any moves while I was not in the labyrinth city?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes,...... well,...... the Marquis and Viscount Galli have gone missing in King's Landing, and there is quite a commotion. There are rumors that the culprit is Mr. Yuta.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I knew the topic of Gulli and his son would come up. Marie-san said, "Yuta-san did something to you, didn't he?　I feel like I'm making a face like that. I met Viscount Galli at Marie's other house, so I guess I can't blame her for being suspicious. But I've decided to take this to my grave, so I'll pretend I don't know anything.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, don't worry about that. I was interviewed by the guards and military personnel when I entered the labyrinth city.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... I see. I'm glad to hear that you're here, so you didn't have any problems. Also, the Adventurers' Guild has asked me to send a message to Yuta-san that they would like to talk to him when he arrives.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was planning to go to the Adventurers Guild to ask about Gina's parents' house, so it's no problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I understand. I'll check in with the Adventurers' Guild later.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, and I also have to tell you that we have started selling the seasonings that Yuta-san told us about. It is not well known yet, but it is spreading little by little through the adventurers and the food stalls. It is going to be a profitable enough product."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yeah, you finally got it out. You said you had to postpone the release because I threatened the adventurers in the labyrinth city and reduced your target. I got paid a lot of money just to tell you that, so I'm relieved that it's a safe product. I forgot about it until now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm relieved to hear that the product is now safe and sound.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I forgot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The orthodox flavor is selling well right now, but I'm sure other products will eventually catch on. The staff are also interested in developing new products, and they come to the store to sell their own originals."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Marie tells me happily, with a bit of a wry smile on her face. All you have to do is powder various spices and mix them together. It's hard to make it taste good, but anyone can do it if they want to.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It sounds lively and fun.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, we've had more trouble, but generally we're having a good time."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Trouble?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, it's just a silly argument. There are arguments between employees who insist that their seasonings are the best at Rough Bird, and arguments between employees who think garlic powder is sacred and those who don't like it, and so on, in unexpected places.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, everyone has their own tastes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, we knew this from the beginning, but it's surprising to see it so pronounced."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In Japan, there was a controversy between mushroom-shaped and bamboo shoot-shaped sweets, and it is surprising that people's tastes are so hard to understand each other. By the way, I prefer bamboo shoots. By the way, bamboo was found washed up on the beach, so there must be bamboo in this world, right? I'm getting a craving for takikomi-gohan. But the recipe I know calls for granulated soup stock and soy sauce.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I only have a liter of soy sauce, and I don't even know how to make granulated soup stock. If I try to use soy sauce, the damage of failure is too big, so I have to worry about it. I wonder if I can make soy sauce. I also want to make sauce.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought the sauce was surprisingly easy to make: ...... mix apples, vegetable scraps, spices, salt and vinegar, and leave it alone, right?　I think I saw something about a housewife in England or somewhere who made it by accident. Maybe I should ask Marie or Torque to make it for me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I would have a hard time asking for help unless I can at least make a prototype myself and show you the real thing. I don't know what kind of vegetable scraps they use, and I'm starting to think it's impossible. I guess I'll just have to be patient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is something wrong?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, it's nothing."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is not the time to be skipping to the source. I still have to ask Marie for a favor. Bell and the others are probably waiting to be summoned, so we need to get this done and get to the inn.
