547 Chapter 508

I was able to rent a cooking area, so I think about what to make with my sister.

Dad went to get the ingredients in the morning.

Ivy, I'm going to change my name to ...... and live in town.

"Huh?

Does that mean we can't travel together?

I just felt that my physical strength would not allow me to continue the journey.

It's ......

If you continue your journey, you will eventually get stronger.

But it's not soon.

It may indeed be hard for your sister.

"I agree with your answer, but I don't agree with your answer if you think it will bother us. But if you give us an answer because you think it will bother us or something, then I'm against it.

Thank you. I think about what I can do now, what I want to do, and that's the answer I've come up with.

I see. Where do you want to go in town?

"I want to go to town,

Huh!　All the town?

Why?

My sister laughs softly and happily at my question.

I remembered the time when our dad and mom were together. I thought I'd forgotten, but I hadn't. And then I remembered something, and that's where I and my parents were born in Ole Town.

...... is the town where my father was born. His parents and siblings are there too.

"What!　No!　Really?

"True

""............"

Sis and I stared at each other dumbfounded for a bit.

What a coincidence.

I didn't know you were from the town where your father was born.

It's amazing.

Oh, if it's an all-town town, there are grandfathers, and then there's the master.

I will explain the situation to Gilmour, and he will protect me.

It's quite a relief to be able to explain the situation to Gilmour and have him protect you.

I'm back ...... What's going on?

My dad walks into the galley and tilts his head to look at me and my sister.

'Dad, my sister wants to change her name to Ole Town and live there.

"What!

The father looked at me and my sister in turn, as if he were surprised.

When I explained the situation, he stared at her in surprise.

I didn't know we were from the same village. ......

I've heard what my sister wants, but what should I do?

Send your sister off to town once ole?

It's a problem you can't ask someone else to solve, so you will.

Do you remember your parents' names?

Your sister shakes her head at your father's question.

'Dad, we used to call you mom.

I see. But it's a great coincidence.

Yes.

I take the magic bag from my dad and pull out the ingredients from inside.

It looks like we've got most of what we asked for.

I'm going to miss you though.

Certainly, I thought we were going to be traveling together all along.

I'm glad you said that.

They cut vegetables and meat for each dish.

With his dad and sister, everything is fast.

'Ivy, could you write down on a piece of paper how to make your favorite dish?'

Of course, fine.

Thank you.

Ask your sister what her favorite dish is and write the name of the dish on a piece of paper for now.

Later, write the recipe as carefully as possible.

Druids?

Ranji and Ega appeared in the kitchen.

'Huh?　How did you get here?

I saw you go into the inn and I followed you. We're leaving here in a few days, so I thought I'd say hello.

Ranji tilts his head to look at the amount of vegetables on display.

'Helping out at the inn?'

No, I'm just preparing to take it with me on my journey.

"Oh, you're taking it pre-cooked. I used to try, but it got to be a pain in the ass.

Mr. Ranj is looking at the food he has made with great interest.

It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

I'm not sure if he noticed me staring at him or not, but his face turned into an embarrassed expression.

I'm not going to steal anything.

"What!　No, it's not: ......

Why the stealing of food all of a sudden?

Be careful. How many times have you heard the excuse that you got carried away?

Mr. Ega, in a disgusted voice, pulls Ranji away from the finished dish.

I see, so you have a criminal record.

I can make a quick meal out of something simple, would you like one?

It's almost lunchtime, so I guess I'm hungry.

I can make a bowl of rice with more people, and I'll be able to cook rice in a few minutes.

I cooked that one for onigiri, but there's plenty of rice left over, so we can cook it again.

Are you sure?

Ba-bang.

"You just ate!　Don't even bother with Ivy.

Ega punched Ranj's head as hard as she could.

Her sister is pulling back a bit.

'The same as always.

Dad looks at them with a wry smile.

Ega looks at Ranji with a dumbfounded expression.

"The only thing that won't settle down is my appetite.

"Eating good food will make you happy, right?

Certainly.

Oh, I couldn't help but agree with him.

Ranji looks at me happily.

Besides, I kind of laugh.

You do, don't you?　Look at this!　Ivy's on my side.

No, I'm not a friend.

Huh, sorry. I'll get you some more ingredients if I run out. I'll pay you for the labor.

Ega asks me to let out a sigh.

I shake my head at that.

'It's not a problem. Your father bought more for me.

He looked at his father and nodded.

'That's a druid. Just a little, for one.

One serving?

"Big time--

"Hey!

Ega's words quickly fly in the face of Ranji's words.

"...... normally.

Cowering his shoulders, Ranji-san can't help but smile.

'I understand,'

Let's get the meat and veggies and casserole ready, and the rice will be ready in a few minutes, so let's make it before then.

Druids, do you think there are any mons in town?

Ega's father nodded his head at her question.

'I'm there, but why?'

The merchant family asked me to escort them to the town of Ottolwa, and I was thinking of going to the neighboring town of Oor to see Mons' face when I'm done. I hadn't seen a druid in a while and I wanted to see him.

"Merchant house or ...... all the way to town. ......

Ega's story made his father ponder.

I'm sure it's about his sister, right?

But is she really okay?

What's up?

A merchant's bodyguard would be in a carriage, right?　I wonder if there's any room in the carriage?

Horse-drawn carriage travel, or maybe it's tempting.

It's a long way to oar town.

Ega looks at his father's question with a strange expression.

"There's plenty of room. I'm the one who carries it.

People?

"What do you mean, transporting people: ......

The bride. From the village of Hataha, she married into a merchant family in the town of Otolwa. After three years of persuading her husband's parents, she's going to have her wedding this fall. And in two days' time, she will leave this village for her husband's home town of Otorwa," she said.

She's a bride.

Ega's explanation caused her father to look surprised.

'Isn't your husband coming to pick you up?'

Apparently, he was going to, but he slipped and fell down the stairs at work and broke his leg.

You're out of luck.

I heard that he still wanted to come for her, but the bride asked him to wait for her because she would not want her injuries to get worse.

Ranj continues with a wry smile.

'Her husband complained that he was fine, but the bride and her husband's parents pretty much convinced him to do it.

After three years of convincing him to finally get married, he broke a bone.

It must be quite frustrating.

'What made Ranji and the others ask for it?　I know you both have commissions from merchant families, but you're mainly there to escort the goods, right?

Yes, but we know his parents and we know each other. They said they couldn't trust their precious bride to a stranger, so they asked us for a favor. Well, it was a special request for this one time.

Ega looks a little puzzled.

And when she shades her head.

"At first I said no, but they were so insistent.

Does that mean there are only parents who spent three years to get them to approve of the marriage?
