Upon being hired, Yan Tie had no intention of just sitting there without lifting a finger, but Yen Tie began to take charge of the cooking, saying that today was a day to show off his abilities. Asili reacted quite a bit awkwardly, but in the end, after listening to my nonsensical argument that we didn't do anything since we still had the stew left over from a few days ago, we sat down in silence..

It wasn't an atmosphere where amazing gourmet dishes would pop out like you see in comics or novels. However, seeing that there was no hesitation in moving ingredients and knives, it was clear that the skill level itself was incredible. In fact, not long after she started cooking, we could smell her delicious scent, and our expectations began to rise as well..

"Yen? I think you could have found L.D. without Zikmel's help, but why did you go there??"

While I was stroking Laika and thinking about when to go to the guild, Asilier was busy admiring Yan Tie's abilities and asked about something I hadn't thought about at all..

That's what I heard?

"We have our first and last names in reverse order. I would appreciate it if you could call me Tie, Asilier. Most of the information about Eldmia and her residence was disconnected, making it impossible to trace in a short period of time.."

"...link?"

"It is a technology for finding information in its own way... information that should be properly connected is suddenly cut off and leads to incorrect information, or similar but completely different information is spread intentionally.."

I looked at Asilier to see if she knew, but she also responded that she had never heard of it, so we were able to form a stable consensus. Yes, we are adventurers, not intelligence or stealth types..

"Usually, the person who has cut off the link holds the information, and that was the case this time as well. That's what Zikmel did.."

Oh my god. Zikmel seems like a capable guy..

It is highly likely that this was done because, if the number of people like Yan Tie who come to me for my information increases, my life could be in danger! As a result, I benefited from it, so it was a good thing. Later, I'll come to you and give you money for your trouble, under the pretense that I used the gift well..

"He seemed like a very capable person. If you can maintain a good relationship, it will definitely be a beneficial connection.."

After that, Yan Tie continued cooking while telling various stories. Rather than forcing secret stories to be revealed, the conversations flowed very naturally, with everyday topics such as what kind of vegetables are cheap this winter. Thanks to this, we didn't have time to get bored while her food was being prepared, so we tasted the food she served happily, and we thought it was really good that she didn't force Yan Tie out..

I was already wondering what to do while resting at home, but I guess I should learn how to cook from him..

◈

On the third day of spending every meal time learning how to cook from Yan Tie, I decided to visit the Adventurer's Guild as she had advised me when I first came..

It's not because I have any other purpose, but because it's starting to sting..

"Still, I stayed at home for two days... so I endured it well.."

When I announced that I was going out after eating breakfast, Asilier, who was barely able to continue eating with a sleepy face, spoke as if she was proud of me, and I had no choice but to immediately retort out of resentment..

"sister? If anyone hears it, they'll think I'm just going out for a day.?"

"My sister can't remember the last time Eldy was home for more than two days.."

"that..."

It is logically correct, so I cannot refute it. After we found our house, we started going out together every day. Even when I was in the Ogatorf family, after Asilier joined, I was so busy moving around every day that I seemed to spend more days outside than at home..

what? Am I living too hard??

"Well, I'm not sick. There won't be any problem if you move."

While I was once again reflecting on and admiring my own crazy acting skills, Asili lightly shrugged her shoulders in understanding, and Laika, who naturally had to play at home since I was stuck at home, was happy..

After breakfast, I put on my clothes and gear for going out for the first time in a long time, opened the door in a good mood, and had to close it again..

"It's so cold."

I don't know if it was because I sat next to the stove for two days and read the documents of the Holy Light Cross, or because winter had really hit me in two days, but it was cold anyway. In the end, I was able to leave the house only after taking out a thick winter coat, which I had not worn for a while, as I had recently been wearing expensive clothes and a cape made by a dwarven craftsman..

[walk! excited!]

"...aren't you cold?"

[It's not cold!]

Thanks to Yan Tie's constant swing of the broom every day, there was a neat path leading to the road in the yard, but Laika expressed his joy with his whole body by running to the side and burying himself in the snow repeatedly. She would have been cute even if she couldn't speak, but she's twice as cute now that she can speak..

"...Yeah, I hope so.."

As I step out into the streets, looking with satisfaction at the idyllic scene he creates, I see the capital city bustling with activity despite the winter cold. As I walked in the direction of the guild, enjoying the strange pleasure of taking a leisurely walk alone while everyone else was busy working, I began to see the surrounding scenery, one by one, slightly different from my last memory..

"It's the same in any world that changes quickly.."

It wasn't just the scenery that changed. The wary look towards me and the suspicious look he gave Leika and me back and forth had also changed..

In that short period of time, the notoriety of the guillotine was diluted like water mixed with alcohol. Perhaps the rumor spread that he had gone to another city because he was taking a break from his work as an adventurer. A rumor may have spread somewhere that he died as a guest..

What is certain is that the gaze towards me has changed closer to indifference..

"In the end, that's the extent of the rumors in the city.."

It didn't really matter, but it was a bit disappointing that the path no longer opened on its own like it used to. It was comfortable, though..

The adventurer's guild we arrived at after seeing the tricks performed by Laika, who was so excited about the world, and looking around, was bustling with adventurers since the morning..

"Have activity restrictions already been lifted??"

The guild's efforts to prevent adventurers from freezing to death while traveling long distances in the winter looking for a quick hit may have already begun, but there were a lot of people for a morning, although it wasn't so crowded that there was no room to walk. Among them, there were people who had been playing and eating at the alcohol table since morning, and even adventurers were seen selling miscellaneous items on their tables..

The former is something you can usually see, but the latter is a little different. This is usually a case where mid-level adventurers who have accumulated a certain level of skill and receive long-distance quests to make a profit sell consumables or items with an expiration date at a low price that they were unable to dispose of before taking a break..

There are a variety of reasons, such as not being bothered to bargain with merchants to sell second-hand goods that are not very valuable, or simply selling them cheaply to give advice to inexperienced adventurers while drinking in moderation. Since the purpose is not to offend anyone, the guild usually doesn't say anything if you order only the right food..

Since the point of restricting behavior in the first place is to prevent people from dying while doing nothing in vain, there is no reason to prevent new adventurers from having the opportunity to get advice and goods at a low price.?

"Laika, come here. you will be stepped on."

It was nice to hug Laika, who approached me without saying anything, but once I got there, the reason for talking to the guild leader was unclear. She approached me all the time and said, 'You said you wanted to talk to me?' Saying the same thing makes it seem like no one is interested, and snooping around is ridiculous. In the end, Yan Tie has only heard rumors, so it's impossible to know whether he will try to talk to me just because I came..

"Ah, request."

There are always simple requests that can be resolved within the city, so if you bring one suitable item and talk to the receptionist, you will get a rough estimate. If the guild leader finds it, you can talk to him and leave it behind, saying that the request was an excuse. If he doesn't find it, you can just earn pocket money..

Admiring my own wit, I headed to the request bulletin board, which was crowded as always today, and I saw adventurers rubbing here and there, full of dissatisfaction with each other, and raising their voices. Even though there are three bulletin boards, it looks like that. It's not that I don't know the desire to find good requests, but every time I see it, it makes me wonder if there is a better way..

I'm reluctant to join because it feels like I'm rushing to a discount event without paying attention, but since the quests are placed in order of urgency, guild members come and replenish them when they run out of quests, so people don't miss out just because they wait. When I first came here, I watched in fascination, wondering when the crowds would leave, but it didn't quiet down until an hour or two later..

"Hey, it's passing by.."

In the end, the only thing that can be done is to remove it with your body. Holding a Leica in my arms didn't mean my physical strength was flawed, and if I made up my mind and pushed forward, all the guys who were a head shorter than me and a shoulder smaller than me would inevitably be pushed out..

"ah! What!"

"Oh, kinda! Don't push me!"

Of course, complaints come out, but what can be done? This is what has been and will continue to be the case with the request bulletin board. I made my way through each step without much difficulty and when I reached the bulletin board, someone grabbed my shoulder..

"You idiot, all you have to do is imitate the guillotine.?"

The moment I turned my head to see what was going on, what I was greeted with was not a dissatisfied gaze directed at me, but a fist flying in a neat parabola..

In that short moment, many thoughts passed through my head, but since it was advantageous to get hit, I decided to take the hit quietly..

Wow. The sound and the feeling of someone else's body temperature on my cheekbones were a bit more unpleasant than I expected..
