Chapter 43

Even though the season was just beginning to fall, it was so cold that it seemed like winter.

I face Olivia in a room in the Cooking Guild.

Rir and Prim were behind me, and the latter slept comfortably with the former as a pillow.

Occasionally, I hear a sensational voice like “Sho … I don’t like it …”, and I can’t help but feel like hitting her reflexively.

The guild master was also standing on the other side of Olivia, sending a fearless throwing kiss.

Of course, I tried my best to avoid it …

By the way, the request form is placed on the table placed in the middle of the slightly dim room.

With that in between, Olivia and I were in the middle of staring contests for a while.

“All right”

When I opened my mouth first, Olivia’s face, which had wrinkles between her eyebrows, became bright as if she was in the morning sun.

She stood up from the soft genuine leather sofa as if leaning out on a small body, she bowed to her head with a pecker and exaggeration.

“Thank you, Zelet-san”

She says thanks.

The guild master was laughing with satisfaction behind her.

“I’m glad. I thought I didn’t receive it. Anyway …”

This is also an A-ranked monster …

He laughs invincibly again.

Yes. I-Zelet Winter basically has no intention of subduing anything other than S-rank monsters. It’s a stance that doesn’t change even if I change from my previous job as a demon hunter to a food provider in the current cooking guild.

However, the rank of the monster requested by the cooking guild this time is also “A”.

Normally, I wouldn’t go to the cooking guild like this, let alone refuse, but this time only the subject was different.

“But information about such a monster … I got it well.”

“It’s just a coincidence. Our food provider happened to find those shadows.”

“I’m a veteran ex-hunter, so I think you’ve noticed.”

“got it”

I got up from the sofa.

“Maybe you’re going right away, Zelet-kun?”

“Before that, we should arrange the necessary human resources first. As I said earlier …”

“Oh, that’s right.”

“That’s the number one problem.”

Guild Master and Olivia yell out together.

There is no help for this.

Unfortunately,it’s an impossible project.

“I’ll look for you here too, so don’t look like that.”

“Come on! Please!”

“Oh, Zelet-chan, you’re motivated to get rid of it this time.”

“It’s natural. Because the other party is the other party.”

“I wish I had that much motivation ~”

“This time it’s special. Then I asked.”

I leave the drawing room of the cooking guild.

Upon leaving the guild, a monster brought in from some food provider occupied the front of the guild.

The shape of the monster is a bird.

A sharp, pointed beak. Large wings spread out.

Although it is slender as a whole, its characteristic is probably the bronze scales that cover its body.

It is moderately thick, and when you hit it, a dry sound like metal is returned.

It’s as if the bird was armored.

“Stum Parides …”

It is a monster bird type monster equivalent to B rank.

Hard scales like armor spread not only to the body but also to the wings.

It seems that the scales alone make up 90% of the body weight.

Usually, they are active mainly on the shores of large lakes, but when they run out of food, they often attack the city in groups. It is also famous as a monster with a rough temper.

It seems that the dismantling shops in the cooking guild are having trouble with scales.

If they don’t remove it, they won’t be able to eat the contents. But is there enough to eat? Well, it doesn’t matter to me …

There was a person I knew in the dismantling yard.

Pamela. Recently, I learned how to serve monster dishes at her inn, and started to be like an assistant.

That’s it. Would I like to use Pamela’s connections to find the right person?

“Hmm … shou! Hmm … shou !!”

Pamela was groaning.

She has a bright red face and is lifting something.

“Pamela, what are you doing?”

When I call out, Pamela slides her hand from what she is trying to lift.

With too much momentum, she leaned towards me.

“Itatatata … Hey! Zelet! Don’t call me suddenly! You surprised me.”

“sorry”

“Hmm? You’re so obedient?”

“No, I’ll declare it first …”

“What?”

“Something … something soft is sandwiching my face …”

“Huh !! What are you doing !! Stupid !!”

Pamela leaves me in a hurry. Her face is bright red.

Who is the idiot?

The one who came down behind was Pamela …

I stand up, dusting off. I looked down at what Pamela was trying to lift.

It was a dagger. But it’s not just one.

“Is this a magic sword?”

A magic sword is simply a general term for weapons that have magical power.

My [gun sword] is also treated as a kind of magic sword in a broad sense.

The question is why Pamela was trying to lift it.

I lifted the dagger lightly.

“Wow! Zelet! You’re powerful.”

“You’re out of focus, Pamela. This is a magic sword. The magic sword can be used by people having skill, right? “

Basically, you can handle weapons that have passed magical power, because you can pass magical power through your body.

Put simply,only skill holders can use it.

“Ehehehe … That’s right.”

“Why the magic sword …”

I asked a question and found out.

Probably to remove the scales of Stumparides.

As I said earlier, the scales are hard and difficult to even scratch with ordinary weapons.

In order to remove the scales, you must have at least a magic sword.

Therefore, all the people in the dismantling yard said, “Maneuver Skill master however, Pamela is …

“After all … To have a dismantling yard, you need maneuver skill holder”

Pamela is jealous of the movements of the demolition yard craftsmen.

“It’s a monster that doesn’t need a magic sword to dismantle.”

“No! It’s a monster that Zelet catches. I’m sure it’s a great monster. … “

“But Pamela, your parents —-“

I don’t know!

What I did was a little too much.

I was about to talk about taboo.

“Thank you, Zelet”

“No … I was careful.”

“But it’s okay. I have to leave my parents soon. My dad and mom will get angry at me saying,’How long will they be in trouble?’”

Even though Pamela said she would be a dismantling yard, it was for her own independence.

The inn “Estrona”, which is currently in full swing, is also inherited from her parents.

So Pamela wants something she wants to accomplish.

That is to learn the knowledge of dismantling.

“Pamela …”

“What, Zelet”

“That ………… what …………. No matter how you choose, it’s yours, anyway, I’m … supporting you.”

“Zelet …… .……………… Thank you.”

Finally, Pamela laughed.
