CH 381

It’s right on the heels of yesterday, ya know!?

“Shin, may I talk to you for a little?”

“Geh? What’s up?… or not, Cristea-sama, what… no, how may I help you?”

Shin was focusing on peeling vegetable skin, so he was quite surprised when I called out to him.

What’s up with the ‘Geh!’ His reaction that looked as he was seeing a ghost was truly rude.

Well, he got greeted by his employer’s daughter all of sudden, so it’s not like I don’t understand his feelings.

“Err, about the dismantling I talked to you about yesterday…”

“I thought we have already… wait, eh, surely not.”

Finished that conversation, before he could finish his sentence, he recalled my remark about dismantling and his complexion quickly paled.

Fufufu, it saves time that he guessed right.

“Yes, I would like to ask you to do some dismantling for me.”

I told him with a smiling face.

“Wait a moment, it’ right on the heels of yesterday, ya know? Your arrangements are way too fast, no!?”

Shin, who was slightly upset and dropped his honorifics was chided “Oy” by newcomers who were working with him.

“I got my hands on many Orcs too… by a chance to. I can’t get the materials I want by asking the Guild, so I wanted to ask you.”

“There’s no way you could get your hands on a large number of Orcs just by a chance, right…”

Although Shin screamed in a quiet voice, he told me he would dismantle for me yesterday, so he has no right to refuse!

“Cristea-sama? What is the matter? Are you planning to create something new again!?”

Whoa, I thought the Head Chef wasn’t here, yet I got discovered!

Even though I was deliberately avoiding him, so something so troublesome like yesterday wouldn’t happen again!

“Pardon me, Cristea-sama. And so, do you need something?”

“Umm, I was the one who stopped them from working. Sorry. And so, erm, I would like to borrow Shin for a while…”

“Shin? He’s currently in the middle of training, so if you are fine with me…”

Hmm, because I am relying on Shin too much, I feel that Head Chef really wants to compete with him…

But, there’s no way I could ask Head Chef to help me out today.

“Umm, I obtained Orc in its entirety. And so, I wanted to ask Shin who is able of dismantling to help me out with it…”

“Orc in its entirety? Just how… ah, that’s a foolish question. Why not just put up a request with the Adventurer’s Guild then?”

Except for Shin, Head Chef is the only one in the kitchen who is aware of Kurogane and Mashiro’s sacred existence. The guards, Kurogane and Mashiro, don’t seem to eat anything other than dishes with my magical power, so they don’t eat together with other servants.

“I see… in that case, there’s nothing I can help with. Shin, make sure to be useful to Cristea-sama. As for everyone else, do Shin’s share of work too.”

“””Yes.”””

Whoa, I am truly sorry. It’s in the Inventory, so it doesn’t have to be done right now, is not something I can say now.

Sorry, newcomers. I will have to give them something as an apology the next time.

“Can’t be helped then, I will do it… ah, but where do you want to dismantle it…? Is there any place for dismantling… here?”

“Ah!”

“Oh my, that reminds me… I have to ask Gilbert-san where it would be fine.”

I see. I did not secure a dismantling place. I took it for granted just like in the fief, but here’s the Capital. They don’t stock up on whole Orcs to dismantle later here…

I quickly left the kitchen to find and confirm with the steward Gilbert.
