Old man, come on! It's too late for them to make a request for reinstatement to the habit of ba

Across the horses prepared by Deacon Marcel, Alice and I began to move to check around the Mansion.

It's easy to do, you just have to rely on a map to actually see a certain range around the Mansion.

I held the map I had prepared in one hand, and added things that didn't match the map, things that I actually saw and noticed.

"I've been thinking, Mr. Label, the amount of information you put on the map is not normal, right?

"Really? This is only an argument.What do you think is the scariest thing to do when you encounter a dilemma or difficulty in a dungeon?

I asked Alice.

"Depending on the situation, the scariest thing to do is panic?

"The boulder is correct, Alice.Then you know why I panic?

"Um... why don't you think about it?Because you could just die?

Alice is desperately thinking about it, but there seems to be no answer.

"Alice's answer may be correct, but it's not what I think.My answer is [because I can't read further]. "

"You can't read ahead?

"When fighting monsters, you and I are dealing with them in anticipation of how monsters move, right?

"Yeah."

"What happens to the party if an unknown monster suddenly breaks into the fight?

"Rushing apart?

"Yes, in my experience, the party is bound to panic and collapse.But even then, if you have all sorts of information, sometimes you can see how to get out of that situation based on that information.That's how I survived until today. "

"Yeah, after all, the label says it's not convincing at all."

"Really? Anyway, I think it's very important to have accurate information."

"There was a place where I'd just pushed in with the momentum, so maybe there was something missing that Mr. Label cared about."

Alice nodded many times, impressed.

"No, in Alice's case, all the party members were S-Class, right?In addition to that, you must have developed your own abilities.Any dilemma can be overcome with that high spec?

That is my honest feeling.

The strength of the party consolidated with S-Class Adventurers is remarkable.

"I kept diving into the dungeon as a porter.The adventurers and the strengths of diving in the dungeon together are varied, and I have experienced countless life-threatening situations.That's why I've become such a troublesome person.... "

I laughed and showed it as a masochist story, but Alice and I didn't laugh at all.

"Mr. Label is no troublemaker!!I don't think what Mr. Label cares about is the most important thing. "

Alice stared straight at me, but I couldn't see the line of sight.

Only Cain, Marie, and the old known adventurers called Squadward have ever treated me equally.

Many other adventurers are looking down on the porter, and even if they dive into the dungeon with me, they're always dealing with him as a porter.

Certainly, many of the adventurers who dived into the dungeon with me were female adventurers, but as an equal man, there were only so many that I could count.

So to be honest, I'm not used to being stared straight at by an adult woman.

Alice's eyes were too straight, and I was desperate to contain the embarrassing emotions.

◇ ◇ ◇

A review of the surroundings revealed that the streets leading to the city were surrounded by gentle, undulating grasslands, but a little further to the other side revealed deep forests.

The forest is vast and countless plants and trees grow when you go inside, and you don't see the roads that humans use on a daily basis.

For confirmation, as we straightened through the woods while stirring up the grass and trees, we found a trail.

"Judging from the situation, it seems that the animals living in this forest have made their way.There's no sign of anyone coming through... but I'll put it on the map. "

"Assuming there are raiders, this forest will be a great hideout."

"Well, remember this, Alice."

"Yeah."

Then we got out of the woods and went around looking for places we hadn't seen yet.

We found a creek on the way, so we'll let the horses rest while we eat.

"Mr. Label, I'm going to try to make dinner today.Do you mind?

Alice says so and starts taking the ingredients out of our horse backpack.

Apparently he was planning to make his own lunch from the beginning, and he was loading pots and frying pans sometime.

"I don't mind, but I'll help you cook."

"It's okay! Let me do it.I've been living alone recently, haven't I?That's why I'm learning to cook little by little.That's why I want Mr. Label to tell me how I feel about my cooking. "

"I don't mind that, but I'll tell you first!I'm not so gourmet or anything to say to people. "

"Yeah, I'm not expecting a real impression, so I don't care if it's delicious or not."

"Well... if that's all right."

"That's why Mr. Label is so relaxed around here.I'll call you when I'm done cooking. "

Alice wriggles her arm and pushes my back away from the scene.

I had no choice but to sit by the horse and wait for the food to be ready.

After waiting for a while, the smell of fragrant meat comes out.

I seem to be using some spices, and the smell that can never come out just by baking the meat without doing anything tickles my nose.

My stomach is also responding with a loud noise.

Alice came to get me when I was hungry and waiting.

I just got up from the spot waiting.

The guided area is lined with sheets on the ground and several dishes are arranged on top of it.

Baked meat in bread and soup.It looks good. "

Ehehe.Eat it quickly. "

Alice advises me to cook because she can't wait.

Well, let's drink from the soup first.

I took the soup in my hand and took it to the side of my nose. First, I tried to smell it.

The fragrance of consomme arouses my appetite.

When I first drank only one sip of the soup, it was overflowing with the taste of small cut vegetables and dried meat.

Next, I will try the ingredients.

It is also elastic and has a good texture accent.

"It's delicious...."

Naturally, such words spilled out of my mouth.

My appetite was tickled by the soup, so I took the bread first.

It seemed lightly baked with magic stones and the bread was warm.

Magic stones can do many things depending on how they are used, so if you can use them, it won't be convenient.

Drink a cup of soup after grinding the bread.

This alone made it a satisfactory meal.

But before me, the hot steak shows a strong presence.

Just staring overflowed my spit, and I swallowed it.

Well, let's get the main meat.

After cutting well with a knife and fork, the steak was thrown into his mouth.

The meat has been dried, so the meat juice is barely cooked.

However, this steak is overflowing with gravy just by chewing, and the gravy with plenty of flavor is stimulating to the mouth.

I didn't even imagine that a block of dried meat would be such a real steak right now.

"Uhhhh. Really? This?How did you make that dried meat?

"Ufufu, actually, the cook at my parents taught me.A way to cook even dried meat. "

Alice had a look on her face.

"You should eat Alice as soon as you can.It's best when it's hot. "

"Yeah, I know."

Alice followed me and ate her own cooking.

"I'm really glad it tasted good."

Alice herself seemed satisfied.

"If Alice can cook this much, maybe we should leave it to Alice in the future."

"Really? I'll do my best if you let me handle it."

"I was just kidding. Are you sure?A cook during a dungeon attack is a chore job, and I don't usually like it. "

"Absolutely not.But there's a lot of food to keep in the dungeon. "

I see. Basically, there's a lot of dry ingredients that increase when you add water. "

"Well, when I buy it, I want to choose ingredients and spices, so please make sure to speak up."

"Oh, I see. I'll call Alice when I go to the market."

"Absolutely."

Finish the meal and we'll resume our investigation.

Afterwards, by the time I finished investigating the area, the sun was setting.
