21 I'll eat it for now.

The evening came with a simple study of common sense.

Then Sila came back and was kicked out instead.

After waiting for a while, I heard a voice saying that it was okay to go inside, so I went in.

"Ta-da!

There was Wolfe, dressed in a rather avant-garde outfit.

In contrast to the heavily armored Iliad, the concept of the outfit was designed for ease of movement, with a short-sleeved top and shorts that gave the impression of being rough.

The sleeves and undercarriage seem to be made of different fabrics, but I wonder if they are open-shouldered or something like that.

In addition, she has her hair tied up, and one of her ears is pierced - or maybe it's an earring, since she doesn't have a hole in it.

The main color is black, with a gold line.

Her sense of color is that of a Buddhist monk... no, let's forget it.

"Since you're white, I thought black would be better to make you look more attractive!

I don't know about that, but I think you're showing too much leg.

You look like your father.

I don't think there are any kids this age.

Ilias and Cyra were eighteen, while Wolfe was probably around sixteen.

I didn't ask his age in the village. ...... I'll check next time.

I'll check it out next time.

You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of these.

You can see her bare feet from the front, but it's definitely less revealing.

Not bad. Not bad, but you're good.

In just a few hours, she has her entire body dressed, even her shoes and ear accessories.

And now that I've seen her altering clothes in front of me, it's amazing.

"Oh, I've never seen such work before, and it's a sight to behold.

"I'm flattered, Master Iliad, to hear you say that!

"No, I'm an amateur when it comes to clothes. ......

Cyra is very pleased.

Maja's hands are roaring. I guess she's good at it.

The rest is design sense.

You can say it looks good on you.

I've only seen this kind of outfit in manga and anime.

And Comiket.

It's not common in our world, but it seems to be well received. What do you think of it, Ilias?

"Well, it's not bad. But... hmm.

It's a little avant-garde. But I think it'll be popular with subhumans.

I see, we agree. But it's good enough that it was made for Wolfe.

That's unanimous.

Can I ask you to make Iliad's private parts next time?

What?　

My clothes?

I'd like to see some clothes made for a human, but I don't know anyone else who could do it.

Don't you have the option of being yourself?

Oh, yeah. I'd like to see some clothes for men. I'd like to see some men's clothes.

All right, I'll take care of it!

He's got to have his own taste.

No, I want mine to be very casual.

You're young, you should be adventurous.

You look young, too!

That's why I want to look as old as I feel.

I'm wearing an outfit that belonged to Ilias, apparently it belonged to his father.

It's not bad, but it makes me look too young.

I wonder if it would look different if he had a more robust body.

Shishou, shishou.

Wolfe tugged on my sleeve.

"Uruffe's, Uruffe's dress!

Oh, you're beautiful.

Yeah, yeah!

"......

Ilias is looking thoughtful, but it's Cyra he's talking to.

I have to pay for it, by the way. How much are the materials and production fees?

"Just the cost of the materials. I had fun making it!

That's no good. When you ask someone else to make something for you, you are also buying his or her technical skills. If you recognize the result, you need to pay for it.

If you pay only for the cost of the product, it is indeed cheap.

But whether you are eating out or shopping, there are various expenses involved.

The cost of transporting equipment and materials, the cost of maintaining facilities.

Labor costs to buy the time of the people who produce the work.

Finally, there is the production cost, which buys the skills they have developed.

Because they can afford all of these costs, manufacturers are able to produce high quality products at low cost.

But in reality, they have lumped all these expenses together as production costs, and are now trying to cut even those costs.

My theory is that people who take this for granted have no right to demand quality.

Um, so ...... is this what you want?

"What's the point of keeping the cost the same? That's about right.

Wait a minute, I'm not in this business yet. ...... And I'm not that proud of my skills.

You have to understand. If you're looking for the best way to get the most out of your time and money, you'll want to take a look at this article. That is why you need to hone your skills. That's why you need to hone your skills, to create a value worthy of the reward.

"Uh-huh.

If you shudder at the thought of being paid more, you need to hone your skills. At least those of us here are convinced you're growing.

Mm.

Mm.

Yeah.

If you lose sight of the value of things, there is hell waiting for you.

Opinions that ignore the position of the producer, who demands low cost and high quality as a matter of course, will spread.

The motivation for development will be lost and quality will not improve.

Only those who can maintain the quality will survive, and the number of newcomers will decrease.

As a result, the products will be displayed without any change.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it, big brother, so look forward to the next one!

Saira responded with a smile full of enthusiasm, as if her craftsman spirit had been ignited. 　

"Oh, keep this one simple and make Ilias's more flamboyant.

"Don't point the finger at me there!

"Don't point the finger at me there!" "It's fine, you look good anyway.

After parting ways with Saira, I left the church to study for a while longer.

From now on, I'll be checking on Maja's schedule and picking up and dropping off Wolfe.

Both of us will study the language at home, doing our homework.

I can read thanks to the power of possession. If you can write them down and use them to help you memorize, you should be able to make some progress.

You should also consider having Wolfe learn the art of war.

It would be a shame to leave this talent behind.

If she grows well, she can serve as our guard at a reasonable price... no, let's leave that aside.

But still, Wolfe stood out.

The eyes of passersby often stung her.

Maja's advice to reduce the luminescence of her hair was effective, but her clear white hair was still beautiful.

Her exceptionally white skin is also a factor that draws the eye.

Add to that beast ears and a tail, and you can't help but take notice.

It is necessary to promote communication with the Kuro Wolves as soon as possible and get the people used to subhumans.

However, they too have been living in a closed world.

They will have a hard time learning the rules of this place.

Don't be too hasty, there could be many problems if they are suddenly thrown in.

"Well, this is my home.

"This is my home.

Oh, wow!

The rooms on the second floor, my room on the far right, Ilias' room on the front right, and the warehouse on the front left.

Of course, the empty room on the far left would be Wolfe's room.

This will be Wolfe's room. You are free to use it as you wish, but remember that it is your room and you must keep it clean.

All right!

If you get lonely at night, you can sleep in Iliad's room.

All right!

No, you're not going to sleep in his room, are you?

You can control yourself, but it's not good for your mental health.

What?

I'll have to teach you how to clean up later.

Wolfe, as the saying goes, doesn't know anything.

Don't spill your food. He doesn't even know about common courtesy such as not getting your clothes dirty.

There will be many troubles in the future because of his ignorance of common sense.

You will have to teach them patiently each time.

Incidentally, the first thing the Iliad taught them was how to use the toilet.

I don't want to tell you what a disaster it was.

"Okay, let's go to Dog Bone for dinner.

Oh!

A wolf is a dog's bone. ...... Ummm.

It's not worth worrying about.

By the way, can't you cook for yourself?

I did in Japan, but I'm not familiar with the ingredients here. I learned a little from Dog Bone, but cooking is difficult.

I don't have a problem with chopping vegetables, but I can't grasp the combination of ingredients.

It's not a problem when it comes to cooking with meat and eggs, which share most of the same flavors. ....... 　　

And salt and sugar are precious commodities here. Many things are different.

Of the basics of Japanese cooking: sashi-suseso, sugar, salt, vinegar, soy sauce, and miso, sugar, salt, and vinegar are valuables.

Soy sauce and miso don't even exist.

What do you want me to do?

Spices are plentiful, so it may be possible to make something like curry, but I am not that familiar with them.

To begin with, the spices of the earth world are different from the names. I need to study.

"Well, I'll teach you next time.

"No, I'll learn it from 'Dog Bone.

"......, I see.

Iliad, looking slightly disappointed.

After talking about whether to rely on him or not, this might be a downer.

But there's something else I want Ilias to do.

"I want you to teach Wolfe how to fight when Ilias is off duty, you're the only one who can do it.

"Oh, yes. But can't the other knights do it?

Basic training, yes. But the amount of magic power that Wolfe possesses is equal to that of the Iliad. Only Ilias can teach him how to fight like that, right?

Right. Yes, I understand. I'll leave it to you.

But you must teach him how to control himself first.

Otherwise, people will die. Especially this guy here. He'll be a corpse.

Let's not mention the damage from the tackle in the barracks.

I'm not very good at this. ......

I know.

...... Yeah, why don't you join us?

I've got a lot of other stuff to do, so I'll probably just hang out.

Still, it's better than nothing.

Ilias nodding his head. I'm afraid he'll torment me to vent his anger.

And then we arrived at the Dog Bone.

Oh yeah, Godz and Cyra used to have three days off a week, but they've changed that to two days a week.

Godz must be having a hard time with the increased turnover rate now that the daytime business has started.

Sila's workload has not increased much.

This is because the ladies of the Order, including Grandpa Kara's wife, are now rotating in.

Most of the customers must be thinking, "We need more young girls to serve!

But I can't say that, everyone's life is on the line.

I'm sure that Sila's presence will be a soothing oasis for the patrons of this restaurant.

But that's all... no, that's for another time.

For now, I take a seat at the end of the table.

Still, Wolfe stands out, eyes glancing at me.

But there's no one there to engage him.

That's because the Iliad is sitting in the same seat. It's natural for him to shrink. 　

"Hey, kid. You've brought a pretty girl with you.

Grandpa Kara's wife came over with a bottle of sake.

I haven't ordered it yet. .......

Oh, I'll have a non-alcoholic one for Wolfe, please.

The Iliad is eighteen, which is barely acceptable in this world.

But Wulfe is probably out.

If it's a matter of whether or not the body can absorb the magic, then it should be fine by now, but you have to obey the law.

I'll be right back. Is there anything else you want to eat?

I skim over the menu on the table.

There are a lot more dishes I don't know.

I guess they're adding recipes from their wives.

I don't know what they are, so I leave it to Ilias to order.

While I was waiting, I asked him to explain about the dishes on the menu that I didn't know.

Hmm, that's the kind of food you're looking for. ...... There are more and more dishes for women, since they are made by women. I guess it's time to think about the next step.

"Next step?

Yeah, this restaurant is starting to thrive as an aristocratic salt-infused restaurant. And the next step is sweetening with sugar.

If it was a tavern full of men, I would have put off the sweet stuff, but looking around, I can see that there are a few women customers.

Perhaps the husbands were satisfied with the taste and invited their wives to join them, or something like that.

If salt becomes cheaper in the future, the spread of this product will accelerate rapidly.

After that, we can gradually add other tastes to the list.

Sweets. I don't mind fruit. ......

I'll surprise you when you forget.

The food you ordered arrives.

Wolfe smells it with great interest.

I give him a spoon and start training him.

I gave him some food at lunch, but the sight was more like a beast devouring its food.

In order to live as a human being, it is necessary to learn some manners.

"Wolfe, you're going to eat the same way now.

"Yes!

And I'll eat in front of you.

Oh, this soup is delicious.

If you are the wife of an old knight, have you had a chance to touch salt?

Or is it simply that she is a good cook and is used to using salt?

The fact that it seemed a bit lacking was probably due to the fact that his tongue still remembered the seasoning from Japan.

Wolfe imitated my movements and took the soup to his mouth.

For a moment, her tail stands upside down.

Then it swishes vigorously from side to side.

Then he takes another bite, and another, and another.

The rest of the time, he ate in unison.

Occasionally, when a dish required a knife or fork, he would make it stop and show some movement.

Wolfe immediately imitated him and ate the food with relish.

Seeing this, our appetite was whetted.

She exchanged glances with Ilias and ate her meal while laughing.

"Don't go under today, okay?

I know I will!　

Another one!
