Arnott returned to normal business and was able to reunite once he told the receptionist about the situation.
"So did you come all the way to me? Thank you."
Arnott was pleased that he had chosen to be the one to greet him on his journey, making him smile naturally.
"Al took care of me. If it weren't for Al, it could have taken another week."
"Well, that's just too much for a week. I think Rude was doing something about that prospect."
Arnott was grinning bitterly with his friend's face in Aotearoa's words.
"I mean, Mr. Arnault's accomplishments were so great that we wanted to say that. Thank you."
Deena also said a word of thanks as she bowed her head.
"No, my power is insignificant. It's a triumph of enthusiasm and appetite for both of you."
Arnott smiles as he jokes.
"You certainly can't deny your appetite."
With a slightly more serious look, Deena remembered when we all went to the restaurant.
Concentrating on the morning work, everyone was ready to head to the restaurant, interrupting the work as if the switch had been switched when the noon bell rang. At first it was just Aeta, Deena and Loudred, but first they invited Arnott, then they also spoke to Loudred's men and ended up going in large numbers.
"Well, there was an introduction. I don't know how many people can get there without us."
Loudred's men had heard several stories about him personally trying to go several times but getting lost and eventually not getting there.
"Right, I know I can go, but I might get a little lost. That's how complicated the road to that store is. It tastes great, but hey..."
Aotearoa was speaking near the counter, so the clerks working in the counter had heard a leak, and they had made a strong decision in their minds to have the clerk take them.
"Well, I'm planning on going to the royal castle too, so it's time for me to spare you. I'd like to leave by noon, if I can."
"Uh, I'm sorry I can't leave you with anything. I wish I could have served tea in the back room."
Arnott lowered his head gently and apologized, but Aeta controlled the movement by hand.
"Never mind, we're the ones who suddenly pushed him on duty in the first place. I'm sorry to interrupt your work, but I'll drop by when I visit this city again."
"Next time you come, let me read the story slowly too"
Aotearoa and Dina said goodbye to Arnott and thanked the other scribes before leaving the library behind.
On his way to the Imperial Castle, he was asked to take turns at the castle gate to Roudred. The guards were familiar with each other, but I just couldn't let them enter the castle on a free pass without permission above. Waiting at the castle gate for a while, a soldier headed inside to contact him.
"Thank you for waiting. I'm sorry, the minister seems to be taking it in right now, so he can't make time to meet."
Aotearoa was not surprised because she expected the answer.
"Well, I thought you would. Then it would be helpful if you could give me this letter later. Can you ask for it?"
"I understand, I will definitely give it to you"
The guard saluted when he received the letter. The other guards were also moaning to Ethereum and Deena after they confirmed that they had received it. Aotearoa and Deena also gave a salute by imitating the salute.
"Well, why don't we go back to the restaurant and have lunch and we'll leave?"
"Yeah, let's go. You must be making a lot of things, I'm looking forward to it."
Deena was walking, showing her expectations for cooking and skipping around the nose.
When we reached the restaurant, the bills placed remained closed.
"Um, can I come in?
"Well, it's okay because we're gonna switch it over and keep it that way, isn't it?
When I opened the door, the top of the table was filled with dishes in cooking. The two of you who see it are stunned.
"What the hell is this..."
"Could it all be our share...?
Zofi, who had the next dish in his hand, came out to the floor as the two stood stunned.
"Oh, welcome home, both of you. I'm cooking!
That's what I said, but from behind, Sylvan was about to bring in another dish.
"Yes, one after the other. It's a progression."
The table was buried, so the dishes are arranged up to the top of the chair.
"Ko, is this all ours?
"Of course! I'm still making other things, so it would be helpful if they bagged the food."
"Come on, next. Next."
That's all they said, they went back to the kitchen.
"... will it just go away"
The two of them remain in the kitchen, unable to confirm this one, but Aeta leaves via a magic bag to the sub-empty depot. Then I can cook for a while, carry it to the floor, I'll do that. On this repetition, around fifty plates, Zophi and Sylvan lowered their hips to the chair on the floor.
"Huh, now you can eat for a while"
"I've cooked so many dishes in so long, you're a little tired"
Zophi and Sylvan begin their break with a satisfied face.
"Uh, I don't know... that would help. With this, it can be found in delicious meals even on the journey. This is a thank you. Take it."
Aotearoa always put almost double the price of the meal in the bag and put it on the table.
"Dude, this is something we did on our own, so we're not getting paid. Besides, you've got a lot of money in your eyes."
Sylvan had not checked the contents of the bag, but had anticipated it because of Ethereal's character so far and the weight of the sound on which the bag had been placed.
"That being said, I had all this cooking ready for me. You need consideration. Plus, it was a big thank you for making it in this short time. That's the trouble if you don't take it."
Sylvan tries to return the money, but Aotearoa didn't show how hard she will receive it.
"If you think it's a lot, make our lunch with that tired body."
Aotea said that to Sylvan with a grin.
"Ha, okay. I'll turn the extra charge over to the next round of payments, and then you say it's lunch? Let's put more on your arms!!
Sylvan returned to the kitchen cheerfully, showing no fatigue until the moment of laughter.
