Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Wolf's Tooth Adventure Party
"Serena, hand me my toothpaste, the cup on your left." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
I stood on the balcony on the second floor of Catherine and Serena's cozy cottage and said to the little girl next to me, who was washing her face.
After casting a friendly dead fish eye at me, Serena sighed. As if resigned to her fate, she handed over the wooden cup filled with the white, solidified object of the mystery.
Stare at.........
"Skeleton, though I wanted to say it a long time ago. You apply this thing to your teeth every morning and then wash it off with water, um... It seems that it does have a whitening effect, but don't you think it would be strange if you only had white teeth since you were covered with bones all over your body?!".
"Of course not, anyway, I'm usually wrapped in full body armor, and no one will see the difference at all."
"It seems to make some sense, eh...... eh."
After a brief silence, Serena exclaimed in shock:
"Then does it make sense for you to insist on doing this every day?!!".
Stopping for a moment from applying my homemade toothpaste substitute to my teeth, I turned my head to Serena and looked at her quietly.
Stare at......
"Do you want to try it, it's important for a girl to have a white tooth. Didn't you notice that Catherine had been sneaking up in the middle of the night lately to get some of my toothpaste, and the fact that she had been smiling when she had nothing to do lately can also boost your self-confidence as a little girl."
"Oh... Thank you, in fact, I also found out that my sister has changed recently, just try it......".
After expectantly taking the wooden cup where I stored my toothpaste, Serena seemed to have discovered something.
After a pause, she shouted excitedly again:
"No, I'm not saying this to beg you for these strange glue objects like a beggar!!".
Serena clutched her forehead, as if she had lost something important, and left the balcony in a huff.
After she walked to the table and sat down, the person opposite her was Catherine, who was blushing and had heard our conversation, but pretended not to know.
I watched her thoughtfully spread peanut butter on the bread, but she didn't want to eat, what an inexplicable little girl.
"Yo, buddy, Uncle Ben is up, let's do something manly do!".
"Anyway, it's singing again, I'll stick you in the hills outside the town later, you can sing whatever you want." I'll pick you up in the evening, or you can run back by yourself."
Spandam, who I had placed on the balcony, heard the signature over-energetic voice.
After greeting me, Spendham said good morning to the rising sun in the distance, which had just risen from the horizon.
Because Spandam has too many slots, such as why it needs to sleep as a super magic weapon, or why it is a soul creature created by the undead king who is the "master of the night", it likes to be active during the day and sleep at night.
I don't bother to complain about it anymore, as long as it doesn't sing casually.
"Sister Catherine, why is it that everyone looks at me strangely when I come back these days? and Aunt Mia was about to hold me down and say something, but she was knocked unconscious by a rusty sword that flew from nowhere. And Uncle Hubke is in the same situation... Uh-huh...?I just like, did I see that sword?".
Listening to a question from a young girl behind me, I quickly grabbed Spandam and threw it down from the second floor.
I'm sorry, Spendham, it looks like I can't accompany you to the hills!
Thumbs up to Spandham, who was thrown downstairs, I nodded firmly, there is no need for explanation between men.
It was as if Spandam understood something, and gave me a thumbs up in satisfaction. After holding this position for two seconds, it scrambled to its feet, patted the dust off its sword with its extended hands and feet, and walked away towards the dark alley.
Well..... I hope it doesn't make any incidents.
"Hmm, I saw a rusty sword next to the bone shelf..."
Serena turned her head to the balcony in confusion and interrogated me in an intriguing tone.
"Oh, you're talking about this one, this is the enchanted sword I bought from the blacksmith a few days ago... It doesn't set fireballs."
I raised the enchanted longsword, which was worth three thousand five hundred gold, and it seemed that something was wrong.
I seem to have lost the wrong sword, Spandam only stunned a few people, but this long sword, which can use the refreshing twenty-shot fireball technique, seems to be the culprit of the riot......
"Isn't it the rusty sword... Eh, what kind of fireball are you talking about?".
"I didn't say it".
"Lie!
Oops, this little girl Serena is really difficult to deal with, and she is not at all innocent and lovely as a young girl.
Obviously, I was just a little prettier, so I dared to question me so unscrupulously.
Even if you don't give me face as a candidate for the Demon King, at least you have to maintain the most basic respect for my elders. You wait for me to be a bear child, and when I come with the undead, the first target is to hit the magic academy where you are going to school.
Just as I was thinking about how to deal with the little girl's interrogation, a figure appeared across the street and helped me get rid of this trouble.
"Ahh
Ignoring Serena's puzzled eyes, I quickly put on my fully enclosed helmet and greeted her on the second floor.
"Yo, Eshuin, you look good, I really envy you! I can live with two such beautiful young girls, haha."
"Whereever, don't joke, I'll come down and open the door for you."
I just found an excuse to forcibly end the conversation with Serena, and I naturally won't give up.
Hurrying from the balcony to the door on the first floor, I took out the key that Catherine had given me to unlock it.
The group of people in front of them are adventurers.
And they are all veteran adventurers who have been in the industry for at least five years, and they are also my seniors in the real sense, including men and women, warriors in armor, and priests in priests' uniforms, about seven or eight of them.
The leader of the leader, a seemingly reliable warrior with a greatsword on his back, was named Joseph.
He was the adventurer I met when I was fooling around in the tavern, and he was also the leader of the "Wolf's Fang" adventure party. I just finished hunting in the Warcraft Mountains last month, and I'm currently on a vacation from Awesome, which should have been the case.
And why they're here is a lot of things that go into this.
"Foreman Catherine, can we get to work?".
Looking at Catherine, who walked down from the second floor, Joseph asked respectfully.
Although facing Catherine, a young girl who has just come of age in another world, Joseph still has no contempt, as if high-quality adventurers are like this, no matter what the client is, they will complete the task seriously and kindly.
Therefore, most excellent adventurers, even if they change careers to work in the service industry, will probably be very successful.
Well... That's it, for some indescribable reason, isn't the attic blown out of a big hole?
Considering that I still have to teach Catherine magic after all, I can't always hide from her.
After making sure that I made up for the trouble I caused, I reluctantly reverted to Catherine's mentorship, but because the roofs of the neighbors on the street were not in good condition, I couldn't fix it alone, so I had to go to the Adventurer's Guild to issue a task of repairing the roof.
Originally, I thought that there were countless adventurers who had nothing to do, so I didn't care.
Who knows how many days have passed, and there are still no adventurers to pick up the mission I posted.
After careful inquiry, I found out that those adventurers who are usually idle are building the city wall......
Because the safety of the town seemed to be the top priority, I couldn't even hire a contractor, so Catherine had to take on the role.
Fortunately, I met Joseph senior in the tavern, and it seems that the adventure party of the C level and above has the right to choose not to participate in the emergency mission, and I am bitterly sad... After a kind invitation, he finally decided to help.
As for why I didn't become a contractor myself.
"Teacher Eshuin, please take the adventurer gentlemen to work, and you can do it too!"
Catherine spoke softly to us, and patted me on the shoulder as if to remind us of something.
Serena doesn't talk about it, this little girl with violent tendencies is smart and quick to react, but I think Catherine's intelligence attributes have shown a skyrocketing trend since she got along with me for a short time, which is really amazing.
"Serena, you're going to be late! Let's go, Master Merlin doesn't like people being late for his alchemy class, my sister is going with you today, there are not enough roofing materials, you need to procure."
"Oh, yes, Sister Catherine, here it is!
After smiling softly at the Josephs, and then smiling softly at me, Catherine pulled Serena, who ran down from the second floor with bread in her mouth, and left the room under our watchful eye.
There's something wrong with it, why is this little girl smiling at me twice?
"Hmm... Well, Joseph seniors, everybody, please go up to the attic of the third floor, hard work."
"Yes, Eschuin, I didn't expect you to be Catherine's foreman's teacher!
Joseph patted me on the shoulder vigorously, causing a little pain in my ribs.
But I don't hate this kind of friendly and just the right amount of enthusiasm, and I really deserve to be the captain of the adventure party.
"You're not going to teach cooking, are you?"
………
"Marcius, you boy, don't talk nonsense. I'm sorry, Eshuin, don't mind, he's such a character."
Senior Joseph knocked the little thief on the back of the head in embarrassment, and apologized to me embarrassedly.
"No, of course not, everyone, please."
This is a negative example, if you don't make a sound, you will have the urge to let others flatten him.
Shaking my head to say it didn't matter, I secretly cast a delayed frailty curse on him. Aren't you a thief? Then be prepared to free fall off the roof at night.
And just like that, my first mission as an adventurer began.
