35 - It's time to settle the matter.






"This is delicious too!"



"Mr. Locke, it's not fair that you leave me alone. But this banana pie is delicious!



"I didn't know there was such a good food so close by."



 The banana pie was a big hit.

 They got jealous when they found out I didn't take Shannon with me, but the banana pie made up for it. Cholo....... No, it's nothing.

 Sweet is justice.



 It didn't work on Isaac.



 We spent the rest of the day helping out around the village and training Shannon.



 The seal on Mr. Gargoyle seemed possible to lift, but we were told that he had been sealed for 100 years and that it had been no inconvenience for him to clean and cook, so we decided to leave him as he was.



 If he wants, we will release him from the seal.



 Finally, it was time to report to the guild.



Mr. Locke, thank you very much for everything. Thanks to you, this village will be able to survive. I'm going to make the Cavetes you taught us about as a specialty and make the village prosperous! Also, we have decided to change the name of our village to Chiyoshino Cavettes Village after discussing it with all the villagers. Thank you very much."



 The village chiefs lined up in front of us to see us off.

"I will be in King's Landing for a while, so if you need anything else, please let me know.



"Of course. Please come by the village once in a while, Mr. Locke. You are always welcome.



 The chief bows deeply to me.



"Patra, come visit us again anytime. If you get tired of adventuring with Mr. Locke, you can always run away.



"Run away from Papa? Patra will always be with Papa!

 With that, the patras hugged me.

 Patra had captured the hearts of the adults in the village in the last few days.



 The villagers don't seem to know it, but I'm sure they would be surprised to learn that Patra and the others are demons from the fifth level of the dungeon of fire destruction. They are so cute, but in fact they are very skilled.

 When they grow up they will be so strong that a single Patra can easily conquer this village.



 We leave the village almost a fortress.

 Whatever the orange-antes had planned to protect that village from, they had built a wall so strong that it didn't even resemble a village.



 We had seen how hard they were working when they were building it, but when we tried to test it out with magic, it did not even get scratched by weak magic.



 It is a fortress in a good position to attack the capital, but I sincerely hope that it will not be misused.



 The road to the capital was well maintained, and we were able to reach it in less than half the time it took us to get there.



 Since the guild is to be informed of our request in the afternoon, we decide to stop by the marketplace before heading to the guild.



 At the market, we passed some people with Cavets. It seems that Cavets are selling well. This is probably due to the fact that they are not only selling Cavets, but also offering tastings of rolled Cavets, soups, etc., which are changed daily.



 If people know how delicious they are and how easy they are to make, they will buy them.



"Oh! Rock, you're here at last!"

 Warren said to me at the stall.

"How was that one?"



"That's Rock. He bought it for what I paid for it, just as I expected. Here's your half. But are you sure you want half of this? That's a lot of money."



"Oh, sure. Use the money to buy me a bull next time and give me something delicious to eat next time I visit your village.



"Yes, of course. We can't afford to make a mistake after all that preparation.



 Then we wandered around the market and headed for the guild.

 At last, our troublesome task was over.



 When we entered the guild, Isaac and the others were at the waiting area with a simple table.

 When they heard we were here, they greeted us with big smiles on their faces.



"You're late. I thought you ran away."



"Of course not. It was such a simple request.



"Ha ha ha! You can only say that for so long. Look at this.



 On the desk where Isaac was, there were a lot of rainbow-colored dragonfly wings and eggs, and many other things that Isaac had requested for this project.

 Isaac confidently said to me.



"Too bad. You lost. You owe me an apology."
