Picking up things at the dump took an unexpectedly long time.

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

Ciel, see you tomorrow."

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

We parted ways with Ciel in the woods and headed back to town.

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

I would like to go to the town with her, but from what I hear, it seems impossible, so I have to give up.

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

Too bad.

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

As I greet the gatekeeper and go inside, a man approaches me.

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

What is it? As I was thinking, he bowed deeply.

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

He said, "Excuse me, sir. My name is Arribas, and I am the assistant to the deputy commander. He insisted on talking to me. Is there any free time after tomorrow?"

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

I think there is some kind of black thing coming from behind Mr. Arribas, the assistant.

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

And it's like he just called the assistant director a he. ......

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

I'm fine, but ......

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

I am not particularly busy, so no problem.

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

I think you are busy, Mr. Deputy Commander."

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

'Pfft, I'm sure it's all right. I'm sure."

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

Oooooh, what is that?

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

That's a very suggestive way of putting it.

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

And you look really tired.

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

Are you all right?　You look pretty tired."

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

Hah, will you listen to me?"

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

What?　Um, ...... what?"

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

The Commander and his deputy are called ......

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

Then Arribas, who goes on and on and on.

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

He is a busy man whose complaints turn into grumbles, which turn into complaints, which turn into whining .......

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

It went on and on until a gatekeeper passing by rushed in to stop him.

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

I didn't expect to have to listen to him for almost half an hour.

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

He said, "Excuse me, I'm so sorry. It seems something was building up. ...... I'm so sorry."

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

Mr. Arribas, who has come to his senses, is a very lowly man.

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

I guess that's why I accumulated too much.

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

'It's all right. I know you are busy with organizational issues. Tomorrow, I will go to the vigilante's stuffing station myself, so when should I go there?"

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

Is that okay?　I think the time would be around noon, but are you sure?"

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

I'm fine. Could you tell the deputy commander that I will be there around noon?　Please."

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

I understand. That's very helpful. Thank you very much.

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

Arribas bows his head repeatedly and looks apologetic.

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

I think this must be stressful.

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

You care too much for the other person.

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

I leave Mr. Arribas and think about what to cook for dinner as I head to the plaza.

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

For some reason, my stockpile of meat is not decreasing at all.

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

Nooga-san is constantly replenishing the stockpile, even though he says he doesn't have time.

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

Many people like meat, so I think I'll slow-cook a chunk of meat.

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

For seasoning, I'll use herbs and a slightly sour and sweet vegetable called toma instead of herbs.

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

It is usually eaten raw, but it is also delicious stewed.

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

As the large amount of meat and toma slowly simmers in a large pot, a nice aroma wafts around.

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

Occasionally, the adventurers around us turn toward us as if to check out the aroma, but they quickly give up when they see our tent.

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

Borolda's tents seem to be custom-made, so it is easy to tell who the owner is.

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

When they know it is made for them, they will not be touched by so much as a greeting.

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

Since no one is making any demands, they can work in peace.

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

I look at the entrance and exit of the plaza, but no one seems to be coming back.

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

I guess I can't do it after all. You seemed busy.

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

It's been a while since I've had dinner alone.

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

I'll see what's in the pot and prepare a meal for one.

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

The stewed chunks of meat are tender because of the time spent on them, and the potatoes stewed with them look delicious and full of flavor.

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

The potatoes are a little less sweet, so they are delicious in the stew.

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

I especially like the soft and chewy texture of the potatoes.

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

They look delicious.

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

Heh? ............, Mr. Deputy Commander?"

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

Huh?

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

Funny, the person I am supposed to go see tomorrow is right in front of me.

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

Next to them are Mr. Sifal and Mr. Nuga.

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

And a tired looking Mr. Marleek.

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

He says, "Thanks for your hard work at ....... Would you like to eat with us?　But Borolda and her team have prepared all the food for us.

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

I'm allowed to eat it if I offer it to you, right?"　So, yes."

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

He handed me a warm loaf of bread.

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

Hm?

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

I think I just heard some funny words.

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

If I bring you something, can I eat it?

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

When did this happen?

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

You don't have to bring it to me, but you can eat it.

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

The food was for Borolda and her family.

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

It's delicious. You see, Marleek, you were right to come back, weren't you?

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

What?　He wants me to come home. That was forced ...... Well, okay, it sure looks good. Besides, even the deputy commander is coming with me. I have a feeling that guy Arribas is in a lot of trouble ......."

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

Mr. Arribas?

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

I listen to the names I know as I prepare the meat on the plates I have prepared for the four of them.

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

'Don't worry, I'm sure he's hanging in there and doing his job.

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

...... Arribas, are you okay?

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

Don't push him too hard!"

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

I call out to him as I place the plate in front of where the deputy commander sat.

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

He said, "Huh?　Do you by any chance know Alivas?"

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

Yes, sir. You asked me to give you a message today, didn't you?"

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

I'm at .......　Right, thanks for the message."

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

I looked at the sub-commander with slightly stunned eyes and he laughed at me.

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

He said, "I'm sorry. I'll be careful."

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

Next to the deputy commander, Mr. Marleek made a great face.

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

It is hard to describe how surprised and astonished he looked.

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

What's wrong?　Mr. Maalique?"

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

I said, "What? That deputy commander said he was sorry and apologized ......!"

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

That being said, the last time I saw him, it was just to say hello.

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

I don't know because I haven't asked him about his personality.

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

Um, I'm not sure.

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

Was this Ivy's first time with the deputy commander?"

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

No, I've at least said hello.

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

I see. Deputy Commander is famous for not apologizing."

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

I have a feeling that Mr. Marleek is saying some pretty terrible things.

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

'Rude, I would apologize if I felt bad.

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

The deputy leader didn't like it either, and started arguing with Mr. Marleek.

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

Maybe the two of them are on good terms, I don't know.

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

Mr. Sifal was looking at the salad I was finishing.

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

Tilting his head, he sprinkles powdered cheese and herbs over the raw vegetables on the platter.

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

Then I'll have him pour the salad sauce over it, if he likes.

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

I place the platter in the center of the table and prepare small plates for the number of people sitting in the chairs.

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

The bread that the sub-commander had bought for us is also served on a platter.

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

The bread is also served on a platter. Here you go."

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

Bon appétit.

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

Mr. Nooga puts the meat in his mouth at the same time as he speaks.

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

Then he smiles and continues eating without saying a word.

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

It's a little bit eerie ...... scary at this time.

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

Mr. Marleek, who sighs loudly and starts eating, looks a little pale, perhaps tired from the argument with the deputy leader.

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

I wonder if he is all right?

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

The deputy leader seems to be in kind of good shape, though.

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

I took a small plate of salad and tried to eat it.

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

It's an unusual way to make a salad.

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

Mr. Sifal says in an amused tone as he eats his salad.

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

What?

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

Maybe I did it again?

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

Really?"

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

Which is unusual.

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

Is it the ...... salad because I'm eating a salad?

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

But it would be different because it is customary to eat raw vegetables.

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

Stewed food must be different because I have had it at a food stall.

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

I look around at the dishes I made, but I don't know.

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

Which is it!

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

'Surely Toma is the first time I've ever had it stewed.

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

The sub-commander is curiously eating a stewed and crumbled toma.

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

This?

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

What, I remember eating it somewhere normally .......

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

Hmm?

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

Maybe my previous memories are mixed up?

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

...... Yes, I don't remember eating it now that I'm here.

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

Or maybe I've never even made it!

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

I had a memory of eating it before."

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

I'm not lying.

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

Before is before.

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

Maybe a very long time ago.

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

I've never had it that way before, but I've also never had it the way you shredded the cheese and poured it over raw vegetables.

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

And this one too!

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

I held back the urge to scream at Mr. Sifal's words.

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

I had tried it before, and it was delicious.

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

It sure is flavorful and delicious."

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

Both Maalreek and Nooga nodded in agreement with the deputy commander's impressions.

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

Apparently, there was nothing wrong with the taste.

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

Mr. Sifal is giving me a second helping.

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

But we need to sort out my memory of the previous me as soon as possible.

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

I'll do my best tomorrow to avoid the next mistake.

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

......But then again, this is the first time I've made it and it's delicious.
