Chapter 38
NnYeah.
That was surprisingly fast.
When Shion and Nino said that, Sharon showed her face from behind the out of breath Kain.
A, actually, right from the beginningwe had made the minimum preparations
Sharon! Thats supposed to be a secret
For the time being, Shion pretended like he didnt hear that.
At most, it was decided by Luutys advanced preparations.
She probably had them prepare with the assumption that Shion would accept.
Have you already eaten dinner?
Ah, no
In that case, lets have a meal while we do the strategy meeting.
When Shion hit the table with his finger, Kain and Sharon looked at each other.
It seemed that they were a bit worried about what they should do, but they carried their luggage and came to the table that Shion and Nino were sitting at.
Erm
Well then, is portions for two people good enough?

Carol asked that with a smile to Kain and Sharon who were restlessly looking around looking for something.
Eh? Ah, yes, erm
Otou-sa~n! An additional two peoples portions!
Sharon made a puzzled face at Carol who called out to the kitchen.
Eh? That just now was? Eh?
If its about a menu, there isnt one.
Shion said that, and then brought some Leris to his mouth.
What the two of them were looking for was a menu for the cuisine.
That was something that was commonplace in high class stores like the ones on the main street, but there werent any menus in stores aimed for commoners that were in the back streets like this.
The cuisine made from the shopkeepers whim and the ingredients of that day were that days menu.
Having it said like that might make it sound irresponsible, but there was a part of it were it couldnt be helped.
When it comes to small stores, offering the same menu every day would be difficult in securing ingredients, as well as the point of preserving them.
Using up ingredients while they are in season is part of the basics, and there was no leeway to do pointless disposal.
Going further, the price of ingredients also change every day. Even the Morol bird that was put out today, the price might suddenly jump up even more tomorrow, and if the price of oil were to go up, the meal wouldnt be deep-fried food, but might be grilled or boiled food.
Because of that, in stores like this would use things like one persons portion like just now, or something light or a lot, and use a method of ordering that relied on feeling.
In a certain meaning, it is something that a store where maintaining a fixed quality is linked to their service cant do, and is also one of their opposing points.
Even how it was possible to ask for another helping of Ringos like Nino had done earlier, that was a way of asking that was possible because there was no menu.
I see
While Kain was assenting to Shions explanation, Carol was steadily lining up plates with Kain and Sharons portions.
In the Steel Fish Store whose motto was Always offer freshly made food, although it would take some time, it wouldnt prepare food in advance.
Seeing the deep-fried Morol bird that released the fragrant aroma of fried food, Sharon leaked out an impressed voice while holding down her mouth with her hand.
Now then, its fine while youre eating so lets have a talk.
Placing his wooden spoon down on the table, Shion looked at Kain and Sharon who were sitting in front of him.
First, about this job, I am thinking that the enemy is most likely several Ogres.
Kain and Sharon kept silent and nodded at the words that Shion threw out.
Seeing their reactions, Shion thought that it was just as he expected.
It appears that, you have heard the story from Luuty to a certain extent with that prediction included.
Eh, erm
Unlike Kain who was showing on a small bit of unrest, Sharon was flustered in an easy to understand way.
While thinking that Sharon had a cuteness to her as a student, Shion continued talking.
If the circumstances are just as they are written on the request application, the situation probably isnt that urgent.
Was attacked by an Ogreif that was the situation, then they wouldnt have had the spare time to put out a request.
This was different from going against Goblins and secluding themselves away.
If they were attacked by an Ogre which could easily destroy something at the level of a simple wall, there is always only two paths to go down.
Either fight, or run.
Barricading oneself up against an Ogre, that was an impossible story unless it was in a castle.
Therefore, the situation where it was only discovered at present, it could be said that it was a step before that.
That being said, this doesnt mean that we can travel there at leisure.
What was needed was, a means of travel.
Also, it had to be as fast as possible.
The situation could easily change at any moment.
It was perfectly possible that a single pebble thrown on a whim could turn the situation into the worst possible outcome.
In that case, there is no problem.
Kain answered like that to the words that Shion threw out.
After placing the fork that poked into a piece of fried food onto the plate, he turned a smile overflowing in confidence at him.
If its about transportation, then Ive prepared something that will conform to the conditions that you seek at the highest level.
The conditions that he sought.
That was to be fast.
To carry four people and their luggage.
And going even further, to not have a problem with going to the place where the Ogres were loitering.
After Shion confirmed those, Kain nodded that it was no problem just like he did before.
What in the world did you prepare? You didnt rent out an armored carriage, did you?
Thinking of the horses and carriage covered with steel, and calling to mind something that could be called a tank, Shion asked that.
He said that with the meaning that anything was possible if it was Kain who was the son of a Baron House doing it butKains answer went even further above that.
Negotiating with the headmaster, I borrowed an Earthworm.
