"I'm back!"

"Captain, where have you been? I... We're worried about you! ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I went out a little bit to see if there were any good tasks to take."

In order not to worry them, Vivien had better not tell them about it.

"No danger, right?"

"What's the danger in town? You're thinking too much. ”

"Today we heard in the market that a thief had stolen the prison warden's son and was being rounded up. And judging from their descriptions, it seems that there is a person who is very similar to the captain who is an accomplice. It can't be the captain, right? ”

"How could it be me...... But that's really scary......"

"It's so suspicious, why doesn't the captain look at me and talk?"

"My eyes are in the sand......"

I pretended to rub my eyes, hoping to get past it.

"Well, isn't it. Let's have dinner together, Captain, Hoshino-chan showed his hand today. ”

"Huh? Eat? ”

"That's right! Could it be that the captain has eaten it? ”

Hinako's eyes suddenly became sharp.

Not good!

"No, I haven't eaten yet. Did Hoshino do it, I'm really looking forward to it! ”

"Then let's go."

It's painful!

Just now because I knew that it would cost a lot of money, I gave up on myself and ate a lot, and now I am completely full.

Why do you want me to eat...... How can you eat it!

But if I had eaten it, it would have caused more trouble......

Alas, life, there are so many bodies that can't help themselves!

"Sister Suzuki, where did you run today?"

Nana hugged me from behind.

"Ah, I went to the Adventurers' Guild today to see if there are any good tasks."

"What about the result, what about the result?"

"I found an easy task."

"What kind of mission?"

"Escort the mayor's daughter to the royal capital."

"The royal capital?"

"The mayor's daughter?"

"Female?"

Your focus seems a little strange.

"Ahem, that's right, it's to escort the mayor's daughter to the royal capital to participate in the competition, the time is about ten days, and the reward is 100,000 gold coins!"

"Sounds pretty easy."

Please, you don't say anything like that.

"Anyway, I've promised the union, so you guys should show your energy!"

"And when are we leaving?"

"Three days later, in the morning."

"There's plenty of time, I'm going to get ready."

"What are you going to prepare?"

Is there anything strange that this scrap dealer has to prepare?

"Of course, it's scrolls or something, and maybe you'll need all kinds of adventure items! I'll go home tomorrow. ”

You're so rare that you're serious. It's good, even stupid people seem to grow.

"It's amazing!"

I was moved to pat her on the shoulder and give her a thumbs up.

"Captain, what do you mean by that expression? Look down on me? ”

"No, oh......"

"No, why are you turning your head away? Now, what do you say, Captain? ”

"What are you arguing about, it's time to eat."

Hoshino, who came out of the kitchen, interrupted the argument between me and Hinako.

"It smells so good!"

Nana's mouth was already drooling.

Wait, don't drip on my pants! Don't!

It turned out to be a little late, and my pants were already stained with Nana's saliva.

Hey, why is there a piece on the left?

It's you!

Hinako, who was standing next to me, also dripped saliva on my pants.

"You two!"

I was about to lecture them when the two of them rushed to the table.

"I'm moving!"

"Nana is on the move, too!"

You must have been starving ghosts in your last life, you must have been.

"Suzuki, why are you still stunned, come here."

"Yes......"

I'll admit that Hoshino's cooking is the same as what I just ate at the restaurant, but I just can't eat any of it right now.

Hinako and Nana, who were sitting next to me, had already eaten a lot, and of course Harina was the same.

"What's wrong, didn't I make it tasty?"

Maybe sensing my anomaly, Hoshino asked with some uneasiness.

"No, no, it's delicious!"

"Liar! You didn't eat at all! ”

"I ...... That ......"

"What's wrong, Suzuki-san?"

"Captain, this doesn't look like you, huh? Isn't it supposed to be all gone? ”

Nonsense! I didn't eat that much!

"Actually, I'm a little sick to my stomach today."

In my panic, I made an excuse.

"yes, do you need to go to the doctor?"

"No, no, I'll just take a break."

"Really, don't you need to?"

"Well, no. I'm sorry, Hoshino, it's hard for you to cook so much. ”

"It's okay, it's not delicious anyway......"

Hey? Am I saying the wrong thing again......

Anyway, how did you become like this, you wouldn't have been so gentle.

You should have stood up and scolded me viciously, right? If you say that now, I will feel like a wicked person......

No matter!

"No, no. I'll eat, I'll eat! ”

I raised my chopsticks and shoved them into my mouth desperately, only to stop when I had swept away the food in front of me.

"Thank you for your hospitality! It's really delicious! ”

"Yes, thank you."

Hoshino looked very happy, and that would be great.

Anyway, I'm doing well...... Uncomfortable......

My eyes went dark...... And then there was nothing......

……

"Hey, wake up."

What a familiar sound.

"Hurry up!"

Who could it be......

When I opened my eyes, I saw—

"Yukona?!"

"Are you finally awake?"

"Why am I here?"

"Shouldn't this ask yourself?"

"Myself?"

How do I know why I'm here? Could it be that I want to join Vivien exposed......

"Don't you have any impression of how much you just ate?"

I thought of a terrifying possibility-

"I'm not going to die, am I?"

"Correct."

"Ahhh Damn it! ”

"Hahahaha...... It's the first time I've seen someone kill themselves, do you want to laugh at me? ”

"Say no more, stop talk! There's a reason for me! ”

"What is the reason? It's not because you're causing it. ”

“…… Can you please resurrect me? ”

Damn, there's no way to refute her!

It was truly my own choice.

Let's honestly ask her to resurrect me.

"Nope."

"Thank you...... Hey, what did you just say? ”

"I said no."

Well, I heard you right, she just said no.

"Why?"

I can't figure out why she would refuse my request.
