Thank you. No, thank you so much."

Meat and bones for three wild pigeons in front of the butcher store owner.

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

When I asked Ciel to help me, he was so enthusiastic that he hunted four wild pigeons for me.

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

Three of them are in front of the owner.

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

One of them is for today's dinner.

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

No, I hope your wife will be pleased."

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

'Eh!　Oh, hey, ...... whoa."

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

Sheesh.

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

I had heard about pleasing your wife on your wedding anniversary from the Commander.

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

Or rather, look at the owner.

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

He's turning bright red and listing unintelligible words.

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

I didn't expect him to be so embarrassed.

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

Gohonk. Well, here is the money for today.

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

He seems to have managed to change his mind.

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

I'm glad.

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

I didn't know how to talk to him.

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

I was afraid that I might make things worse.

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

Speaking of which, when are you leaving town?

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

I'm thinking about three days from now.

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

The money issue has been resolved and the plates on the account have already been returned.

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

I was told that I can now safely buy slaves since Mr. Latrua and Mr. Sifal have the same amount of money in their hands.

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

After all, it seems that even top adventurers are not as bewildered by 15 gold plates as I am.

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

It took me two days to check the contents of my account.

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

Even though I knew it was in there, I blinked several times in front of the displayed amount to make sure it was there.

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

'Oh well. I'll miss you."

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

Thanks for your help."

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

'No, I think I've taken care of you a lot better than you've taken care of me. Including this one."

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

Then he lifts the flesh of the wild vato.

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

I can see that his cheeks are slightly reddish.

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

And when I laughed at it, they got even redder.

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

...... sorry about that.

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

Oh, I was going to buy some dried meat. ......

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

I look at the shelves where dried meat is supposed to be kept, but they are spectacularly empty.

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

Adventurers are never far behind, and the store continues to sell out quickly.

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

It really is a popular restaurant.

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

"Hoi! Here.

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

At the sound of the owner's voice, I turned to look and saw five large bags of dried meat.

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

I'm sorry, but they're just scraps.

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

Apparently, he had left it for me.

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

No, thank you very much. How much?"

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

It's just a piece. It's a parting gift."

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

The amount of today's purchase and five large bags are on the desk.

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

Thank you." Oh, yes."

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

From his bag, he takes out a paper bag containing medicinal herbs.

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

It is a seasoning mixed with various herbs that when soaked into the meat and cooked, it removes the smell and makes it tender.

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

Here. Rub it into the meat and let it sit for a while before grilling. It will remove the smell and make the meat tastier.

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

Ho~"

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

The owner smells the inside of the paper bag, licks a bit, examines the taste, and nods something.

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

'Are these medicinal herbs?　And there's a lot of stuff mixed in."

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

Yes."

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

Is the monk also a medicine man?"

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

No, no, it's just a condiment. I am not a medicine man.

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

But to use mixed herbs in cooking, that's amazing. Thank you."

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

I don't know if it will suit your palate, so try a little at first."

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

Hahaha, I get it. I will."

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

We put the money and dried meat in our respective bags and leave the restaurant.

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

He was a nice guy.

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

I was surprised that he was more shy than Mr. Gilmouth, though.

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

As I return to the plaza, I think about today's dinner.

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

This is almost ready.

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

Let's make something tasty.

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

Wild vats, or at the apothecary, we were going to make soup, weren't we?

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

Since it's only noon, do you think we can get a good broth if we simmer it now?

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

Well, I'll give it my best shot."

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

Now all that's left to do is prepare for the trip.

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

However, Rattlur did the work on the tents, right?

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

Besides, Borolda-san gave me three regular versions of the Magic Bag.

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

He said he had a lot of them, and he would give me the ones he wasn't using.

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

That's going to be a lot easier with a lot less luggage.

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

Sifal also gave me a pot for one person that his ex-girlfriend had bought for him.

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

Moreover, it was a very convenient pot with water magic so that water comes out of it.

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

...... is a very convenient place to stay.

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

The plaza comes into view.

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

Okay, let's cook up something tasty!

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

The good smell of dashi broth wafts around the tent.

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

The broth made from wild pigeons is quite delicious and full of flavor.

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

I made a soup with lots of vegetables based on the broth, and it was really delicious.

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

The meatballs were a nice addition, too.

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

We made a sweet sauce and put a lot of meat into it.

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

It's slowly simmering over time.

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

From what I remember before, it seems to be boiled pork.

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

Not an animal called pig, though.

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

I tasted a little bit of the sauce, and the sauce that gets mixed with the meat is delicious.

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

The rest is salad, but simply boiled potatoes because the sauce is delicious.

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

And the wild pigeon meat was fried.

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

Apparently, the bird = fried chicken, because the previous me had complained about it.

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

It looks delicious.

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

I was aware of the signs, so I am not surprised, but why are they here?

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

Mr. Sifal, I believe, has returned home.

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

Is work good?"

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

I had a lot of income, so I'm taking some time off."

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

Is that so?"

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

I'd like to say, "I'm sorry, but Seiselk has put me out of business."

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

I see. That's tough.

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

I'm not sure. Well, if you take it too easy, it will slow you down. So, please take care of my dinner, too!

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

There is no particular connection, but, well, dinner together is delicious, so I don't mind.

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

Besides, today I have a soup that turned out especially delicious.

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

Mr. Sifal likes soup, so I was happy that he came.

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

What kind of soup is it, anyway?　It sounds delicious, but I can't place where I've smelled it before.

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

It's a broth made from the bones of wild pigeons.

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

"Arrrgh!"

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

I just heard a voice that didn't sound like Mr. Cifaru.

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

'Well, don't you like wild pigeons?'

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

To taste it, though, it's quite good.

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

Because wild pigeon soup is that bitter stuff, right?"

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

Bitter soup?

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

I don't know what you're talking about, though, you can't make a broth with wild pigeons and not get a bitter taste.

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

...... Oh, wild pigeons are sold as soup in apothecaries.

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

I think it is a tonic soup mixed with medicinal herbs.

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

Maybe that thing is bitter.

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

I think it's okay because it's not the same as the soup sold at the apothecary. Would you like to taste it?"

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

Oh, yeah."

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

When I handed him a small plate of soup, he sipped it with trepidation.

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

Is the wild pigeon soup sold so bitter?

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

Huh?"　Tasty ...... really wild pigeon soup?"

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

I look at his face of great wonder and laugh.

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

I'm kind of curious about the soup that is sold at the apothecary.

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

I might want to try it once.

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

You shouldn't try the soup at the apothecary's."

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

I've been read.

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

That was pretty harsh. I only go down my throat when I have a cold and my taste buds are off."

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

That much?"

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

Yes. So when people say this is wild pigeon soup, I honestly don't believe them."

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

What a terrible tasting soup they are selling.

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

But maybe they don't think about the taste because what they sell at the apothecary is more of a medicine to drink than a tasty food.

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

After talking with Mr. Sifal for a while, Seiseluk and his family came back.

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

For some reason, they all brought souvenirs.

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

We're almost there."

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

Seiselk's words made me feel as if I were about to cry.

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

There are still a few days to go!

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

I'm already full of feelings.

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

Thank you."

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

When we were all about to eat together.

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

'Yes, it's wild pigeon soup today.'

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

Mr. Sifal's brilliant bomb attack.

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

Everyone froze with tremendous expressions on their faces.

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

Mr. Marleek and Ms. Borolda were on the verge of drinking the soup, so they were freaking out.

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

Ivy said, "Ivy made this for all of us, so we shouldn't leave any leftovers, right?　Come on, let's eat."

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

Brilliant, Mr. Sifal.

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

I suppress the urge to laugh with great effort.

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

What's wrong?　Aren't you going to eat?　Borolda?"

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

Oh, no, I'll eat that ......, but..."

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

Borolda's dismay almost makes me gush.

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

Maybe she's not very good at it.

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

Mr. Sifal is smiling.

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

If I had time to look at Mr. Sifal's face, Borolda would have noticed something.

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

But this time, she seems to have no time at all.

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

Fearfully, she puts the spoon in her mouth.

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

'............ hmm?　Huh?"

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

For some reason, everyone except me and Mr. Sifal are watching with bated breath as Borolda drinks the soup.

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

And the moment he put it in his mouth, someone uttered a "whoops".

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

But the next reaction from Ms. Borolda had everyone tilting their heads.

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

Delicious. Eh?　It's good, but..."

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

I don't like it. How could Ivy serve bad food?"

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

Saying so, Mr. Sifal drinks the soup with relish.

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

Seeing this, all of them are surprised to see the soup in their mouths.

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

'Pfft, ahahaha.'

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

Everyone's faces are filled with laughter at the sheer volume of expressions on their faces.

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

So much so, though, that I am concerned about the apothecary's soup, which seems threatening.

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

Still, I find this reaction hilarious.

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

'Sifal, and even Ivy: ......'

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

A big sigh from Borolda.

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

Sorry, but it was funny.
