Chapter 75: Food Variation Increases

Chapter 75: Food Variation Increases

Receiving the details of the request from Barack-san, the Adventurers Guild’s Guild Master, we headed towards Quilbas.

To conclude, the template-like thieves did not attack. Our client, Tom-san of the Papeck Company, told the surprised me,

「Iruma-sama, there are no thieves that would attack a line of carriages led by a Dragon Horse.」

「Ha, haha, that’s true.」

It’s as he says, there is no way thieves would attack the largely built intimidating Tsubaki, who has sharp horn and is equipped with black barding.

「Adding to that, I don’t think thieves would willingly attack a trading unit that has someone who can tame monsters to the Dragon Horse’s degree.」

Furthermore, Kaede is merrily humming a song on Tsubaki’s back. Arachne is well-known to be an upper B rank monster. There probably wouldn’t be any whimsical person who would attack a Drake Horse and Arachne. It might be hard to distinguish based on her appearance, but Kaede is a unique species, so it can actually be said that she is a lower A rank monster.

「Really~ I’m so lucky to be guarded by Iruma-sama’s party.」

「Haa.」

「I was worried because there was information about thieves in between Quilbas and Volton, you know?」

Tom-san seems to have finally been entrusted with a merchant unit recently. Though it’s called a merchant unit, it’s still only small scale, with 2 carriages going to the Quilbas.

Tom-san said he stuffed the carriage with hand pumps, Purifier MDs, and daily necessities such as soap and would sell them at Quilbas.

「The president instructed me to buy and fill the Magic Bag he lent me with solely milk when we’re returning.」

「Eh! There’s milk?!」

「Yes, it isn’t circulated much in Volton though.」

I had never seen milk in the town of Volton.

「Are there dairy products as well?」

「Yes, what was it called again, ah cheese, was it? It looks like soap.」

Oooh, there’s cheese too!

I arrived at this world 1 year ago. I’m not the “It can’t be anything but Japanese food” type of person. But the variation of the food of this world is too limited. One of the reasons is because spices are expensive though. But the menu would improve slightly if there’s milk and cheese.

「It’s a little early, but let’s have dinner downstairs.」

「「「Yes.」」」

The inn in Quilbas served hard bread and cream stew.

「Ooh, it’s cream stew.」

「A white soup. How curious.」

「But it has a nice smell, doesn’t it?」

「Truly.」

Maria and Laeva were taking whiffs.

「Yeah, it’s delicious.」

「It’s true. This is the first time I’ve eaten such flavor.」

「So goooood!」

「This is really tasty!」

Compared to the one I’ve eaten in Japan, it probably has various points it could improve on, but it is tasty enough to satisfy me.

「We can’t return without buying milk and cheese.」

「This white soup uses milk?」

「That’s right. I don’t know if there’s fresh cream made from milk, but let’s look for some tomorrow.」

「If we do then we can eat this even when we return to Volton, can’t we?」

It seems Maria has taken a liking to cream stew. Laeva is nodding her head and saying “uhhuh”, so it seems she doesn’t dislike it either.

We’ve decided. Tomorrow, we’ll inquire about the specialty products of Quilbas as we buy all the dairy products we could get our hands on.
