I looked outside and saw the massive frozen kraken sitting in the distance.
When I think about it, the name kraken sounds similar to collagen… If I were to consider the kraken to be the soul of collagen, then maybe I could stomach it, but to have to eat it many times every single day was a little…
I looked around to see if I could find Saga-san and Rofas-san.
「Oh, there they are. Saga-san, food’s ready!」
I saw Saga-san standing by one of the kraken’s large tentacles.
「Hm? Oh, okay. Sorry, but I made a promise with the adventurers today, so I’m going to have my meal while we have our meeting. I’ll leave everything else to you, my aide. If you need me for anything, you can find me at the hut.」
Saga-san said to the tall man standing beside him.
A meeting with the adventurers while having his meal?
「Understood, please leave everything to me! You’ll be having a meeting with the S-rank adventurer Rofas-sama, correct?」
The tall man who was the aide answered with glittering eyes.
Huh?
But we’re just having a taste-testing party with octopus tonight.
Then again, the party was probably closer to a drinking party with two brothers who haven’t seen each other in a while.
I titled my head.
Saga-san then used his fingers and whistled, piiiii.
Uwah, such a high pitched noise!
A little while later, Rofas-san appeared from some random direction.
…Um, if we were on earth, you would use your fingers to whistle to call over a dog or a horse, but this… I stopped myself from commenting any further.
「Yuuri, I’ve been waiting!」
「Geez, Rofas-san, why did you suddenly run off without saying anything? The adventurers were scared that something unexpected had happened. You better explain yourself later!」
Bryce-kun appeared from behind Rofas-san.
「Explain? Do you think it’s okay if I said that I went home for dinner?」
…Ah, Bryce-kun was grabbing his own head in frustration.
「The representative from the army will be holding a meeting with the adventurers’ representative… And they’ll be having their meal at the same time. Does that work?」
I said to Bryce-kun.
「Sigh, you say some good things.」
Bryce-kun took a quick look at Saga-san, and wrote some words that glowed on a small piece of paper. Then he rolled up the paper into a ball and threw it into the air.
The glowing words jumped out of the paper while it was in the air.
Uwah, magic, magic!
「Hey you, that’s some good magic you’re using. Why don’t you join the army?」
Saga-san tapped Bryce-kun’s shoulder and offered.
「Saga, Bryce is mine.」
「Nii-san, just when I thought you weren’t planning be getting married, it turns out you were attached not to young girls, but to young boys…」
Saga-san said, but was interrupted.
「You’re kidding me!」
Bryce-kun made a disgusted face.
「Hey, come on, hurry! We want to eat!」
Kirika-chan and Kurtz-kun, who were tired of waiting, came out of the hut.
「That’s right, the food will get cold. Well, the only thing that will are the daikon.」
I got flustered and went back to the hut.
「Bryce, can you set up a barrier to keep outsiders from hearing us, just in case?」
Rofas-san asked Bryce-kun after locking the door to the hut from the inside.
There were many soldiers, adventurers, and other people around.
「Of course. We can’t have Rofas-san accidently spreading this information around, after all. By the way, is it fine to let this person know?」
「Oh, I haven’t introduced myself yet. I am Saga, the commander of the second royal army monster subjugation unit. My brother has been causing you a lot of trouble.」
Saga-san glanced at Rofas-san as he said that.
「Brother? Ohh, so the rumor about Rofas-san was true then.」
What rumor?
「I’m Bryce, I’m from Rofas-san’s small hut. I just reached level 10 the other day, so I’m a beginner adventurer.」
「Ehehe. Listen Saga, Bryce here may be a beginner, but he’s got some crazy magic abilities. He’ll be reaching rank B soon.」
Rofas-san boasted about Bryce-kun to Saga-san.
「Come on, let’s eat!」
「That’s right! Let’s talk later! Bryce, don’t worry about that guy. We made a contract so he’ll protect the secrets. Saga, Bryce will be working with me for a while, so don’t even think about snatching him from me. Alright, let’s eat! Status open.」
Rofas-san sat down on the chair like he was wagging a tail.
Yes, I know he doesn’t have a tail. It’s just that I was imagining him as a big dog, wagging his tail intensely.
