Chapter 30: Weird Laura and Serious Talk
Translated by kuronochan
The place where Lilina guided us to was a fantasy-like coffee shop.
It is a special tree that is made that people can live in it.
We entered inside and climbed using a magic board.
We sat at the window side at the place that is probably the third floor of an ordinary building.
We can see the forest clearly.
It is an excellent view.
"Here is your White Berry Cake."
The Maid-san puts down cake on a small dish.
It's white like a cheesecake and looks delicious.
I used the spoon on the side to take a bite.
The spoon entered the white cake so easily and softly separated.
A pink colored cream came out.
It makes me hungry just by looking.
I placed it on the spoon.
The white cake mixed with the cream softly trembled.
I took a bite.
It has a smooth texture.
It melted just by rolling it on top of my tongue.
Delicious.
"Fueeee?????n, so deliciouuuuusss?????????!!!"
Laura placed a hand on her cheek and showed a blissful face.
"The texture of the cake's cream melting on the top of my tongue!
The soft and melting taste spread throughout my mouth, it melted my cheeks and even my body, I'm going to be a slimeee????????!!!"
It's the hard to react evaluation that had already become a cliché.
I'm already used to it, but Lilina was petrified.
"Yo......Your partner, Laura-jou, she has a quite unique, daring brain it seems......"
Lilina's face was full of suffering like Goth when he cut off his own ear for the sake of art.
I said then.
"What are we talking about?"
"The first one, about our return."
"?"
"There are accidents where adventurer parties had been missing in the path that you used.
An investigation team was dispatched, but the details are unknown.
If you were to meet an unconfirmed monster, it would be great if you run away even if you throw away the baggage.
It would seem that from the remaining equipment, it will be dangerous around the seventh day of the return."
"It's okay to leave them behind?"
"My personal history will be damaged if you die."
"There's still no one who died from the ones who accepted your quest after all."
"Actual results, they're more eloquent than any word after all."
Lilina quietly drinks her tea.
"And so, about the second one......it's this."
Lilina showed a flat box.
There is silver thread inside it.
Lilina put oil and ignited it.
The oil burns but the thread was not burned at all.
"As you can see, it's mithril thread. If you wish so, I'm thinking of making clothes with this."
"How much is it......?"
"It's 600000 Barse for two garments."
"It's that expensive huh......"
"However, I can guarantee it's quality."
Furthermore, Lilina took out a knife.
She hangs it on top of the bundle of thread and let her hand go.
Suton
The knife fell on top of the bundle.
However, it was easily repelled as if it was a toy.
Not to mention being severed, the bundle of thread did not have any damage.
I took the knife. I tried its sharpness using the spoon in my hand.
Zuppa
The silver spoon was smoothly cut like a cucumber.
It is a very sharp item within the knives.
"You're really, doubtful huh."
"Doubts are needed a process for trust after all.
I'm judging that people who complain about that do not plan to exchange trust with me."
"Fufufu, I see."
Lilina interestingly laughed and ate some cake after drinking tea.
"What do you think? I don't think that you can't not pay it right now?"
"After all, we're currently on a job that pays 20000 a day that would last about 30 days."
"And with the armor as a trigger, it would be the best if you'd also be a customer that would buy weapons."
Lilina said without feeling bad at all.
It is actually something that each of us have merits.
"Well, for the meantime, please think of it that I'll consider it very much."
"Fufu, I see."
Lilina drank her tea again.
"With that, the discussion as a merchant is over."
"Well then, the next is the one about being a person right?"
"......it will be so."
Lilina-san's expression was suddenly showing a heavy, dark shadow.
"You guys............what do you think of Rorona?"
"Eh......?!"
"I want you to say it honestly."
"She's a really good girl!!"
Laura at my side instantly answered.
She continued to talk with cream at the side of her mouth.
"You know, when the quest started, she said that we don't need to do anything!
She's spoiling me at her best!!
I don't know a better girl than that!!!"
Then, after Laura took a bite from the cake, she shouted from the bottom of her heart.
"She's a Country-destroying Archangel you know!!!"
"I don't think that, destroying a country is good though............"
Lilina muttered quietly.
I can tell from Laura's voice and expression that she's seriously praising her.
However, her example is seriously not good.
It's the worst.
I reconfirmed the fact how bad of a goddess Laura is.
"W-Well, if she likes her, I'm happy too."
Lilina closed it like that.
She's very grown-up.
I pinched Laura's cheek in Lilina's stead.
"Ouuuchhh????????????????!!!"
Lilina started to explain.
"A lot of things, happened to Rorona in the past.
She's a good girl, but she became someone who can't show that."
"Although she's such a good girl who would be written in history right now......?!!"
"Being told something like that really makes me happy, fufu."
Lilina drank her tea quietly.
"It's not like I want you to do something because of that, but it would be great if you get along together."
"I understand."
I nodded lightly.
