Episode 209 [Cooking study session/3]
After returning to the capital, we headed directly to the guild and reported on the completion of our request.
"As expected of Jin-san and the others. I can't believe it's over so quickly."
Mr. Ricola greeted us when we returned, and I gave him the King's materials to use in our achievement report.
"...What? It's usually peeled off beautifully, but today it's pretty rough."
When Ricola-san saw the King's fangs, she tilted her head and said that, even though she usually peels them off cleanly, even the subjugation proof fangs were in rough condition.
"Ah, I'm sorry. It's been a while since I've fought too much, so I ended up spoiling the material. Maybe you needed the material for the king?"
"No, it wasn't that necessary, but I thought it was unusual for Jin-san and the others to always strip it cleanly."
When he said that, I could sense that Rius in the shadows looked depressed.
Yeah, I'll have to be more careful next time.
That's what I thought as I finished reporting my accomplishments, left the guild, and headed home to the inn.
"Kyu~..."
"Rius-kun, you don't have to be so depressed, okay? Look, I'm fine."
"That's right. I don't really care."
After returning home to the inn, Chloe and Rei saw Rius so depressed that he encouraged him, and I told him, ``You don't have to worry about it,'' but it didn't have any effect.
``It's been a while since I thought I'd be able to show Jin my good side, but I guess I ended up failing in a big way.''
When Ren said that, Rius made a noise and nodded.
Well, it's true that Rius wanted to show off his good side in his first battle in a long while, and I could kind of get the feeling when I saw how excited he was.
"Rius, I failed this time, but let's try harder next time."
After saying that, I patted Rius on the head and asked Len to make Rius a delicious meal to help Rius feel better.
It's been a while since I've eaten Ren's cooking, and there's a huge difference compared to my own cooking.
Rius was happily eating it, but I was like, how did you make something so delicious? That's what I was thinking.
"What's wrong, Gin? Was there something you don't like?"
"Oh, no, I was just comparing my cooking to Ren's. Well, as someone who only recently started cooking, it's only natural that my cooking is inferior to Ren's, but I was wondering how they manage to make it so delicious."
"Well, you'll probably get used to it. I think Jin will get used to it after cooking for about a year."
It's true that it's only been a few days since I started cooking seriously, so it's probably too early to get nervous.
After hearing Ren's words, I changed my mind and after eating Ren's delicious meal, I headed towards the commercial district to go shopping.
And while I was shopping, Hanzo's subordinate came from before.
“Jin-sama, do you have a little time now?”
“Did something happen that made you call out to me?”
Hanzo generally doesn't contact me, but when something important happens, he does contact me.
I followed my subordinate to Hanzo's hideout.
"Jin, I've been waiting for you."
"I guess it's an emergency to call your subordinate over while you're shopping, so what's the matter?"
"The Demon King's army has begun a new movement."
"...Have you started attacking the hidden villages of the elves and dwarves?"
When I heard Hanzo's words, Hanzo smiled and said, "As expected, Gin. Did you already have that information?"
"Well, it was faster than I expected. The elves in the hidden village are capable of producing secret medicines, and the dwarves are capable of manufacturing magic swords, so the Demon King's army's idea is to eliminate them before they join forces with us humans. Una”
"That's right. The dwarves' hidden villages are underground, so they won't be found anytime soon, but it seems the elves have already discovered and attacked several places."
"I see... However, Hanzo was able to gather that information well as well. Information on hidden villages is hard to come by, right?"
“I heard about it because there is only one elf in my subordinate who is from a hidden village.”
Either the elf from the hidden village is his subordinate, or people from the hidden village generally don't go outside, but there must be some reason.
“So, the reason why you called me and talked about it is because you want me to save the elves and dwarves?”
"It's helpful to talk to me quickly. It would be difficult for a normal person, right? Jin and the others think I have hidden powers as well. I'll give you a fair reward, so could you please accept this request?"
Hanzo, who always had a playful attitude, asked with a serious face.
In response to Hanzo's request, I said, ``I was thinking of saving him too, and I was planning to act even if there was no reward.''
"I've been worried about the elves for a while now, so I've already made preparations. To be honest, I didn't know when the Demon King's army would make a move, so I was waiting for them to make a move."
After that, I returned to the inn, told Chloe and the others that the hidden village had been attacked by the Demon King's army, and hurriedly began preparations for battle.
