49 – You came first

As I expected, there were no particular problems on the way to the Leidin resort.

In the first place, it was because the road to the Reidnin resort was well maintained, and beastmen soldiers often came and went.

Compared to other races, there were beastmen soldiers who smelled better and were more vigilant about their surroundings, so the approach of monsters, bandits, and bandits was inevitably rare.

There were also soldiers in camps along the road, so there was no particular problem.

“Ugh… my ears…”

One of the Lily Knights was fiddling with his ear and crying.

Since the two of them were involved, that amount of damage was expected, so there was no problem.

The female knight of the Lily Knights, who had been bothered by Wilkers’ chatter and Lark’s bizarre hum, sighed deeply and took out a dry measure. I think I’m going to prepare dinner tonight.

“I’ll do that.”

“The wise man? But.”

“Because it’s okay. You went through a lot, right?”

Of course, the suffering is not the suffering of the escort.

Lucille and I only meditated in the carriage, and Veronica only prayed, so we could be free from that noise, but I’m sure they weren’t members of the Lily Order.

It was already to the point where some knights were glaring at Wilkers and Larc, who were still talking, as if they were going to kill them.

“Please shut up…”

“Ah. It reminds me of telling you to shut up. It was when I was living as a shaman in Locadon! Back then…”

Wilkes isn’t one of the greatest trolls I’ve ever known if he’d shut it up with a shut-up word. I called the members of the Lily Knights who were suffering from chatter without even being able to get far away because of escort work.

“Get some rest while you’re at camp.”

“yes?”

“Get some rest!”

“Ah. Yes. Go, thank you.”

The captain leading the escort must have been no joke either. Even if you can’t speak, the stress must have reached its peak.

As he, who seemed quite tired, walked away with the knights, I saw Wilkes.

“Hey. Can you please shut up?”

“Hehe. But if it’s too quiet, it’s boring. And what I’m talking about is a kind of spirit of speech, so it has the effect of reducing the appearance of monsters around you, eliminating danger, and increasing your luck. You know the wise man. And you can use it, too.” .So why don’t you talk more with me? Huh? But those are roten carrots? Seeing that you’re holding the ingredients, it looks like the wise man is preparing a meal today? Wow! Then is it stew? I like stew. That’s right. Stew I remembered it, but it happened when I was in Loen then…”

After all, A-level trolls! Even if you talk, you don’t listen! I sighed as I watched Wilkers talking so hard.

I’d rather something happen.

Fortunately, Lark became a little quiet saying that he had come up with a new song, but Wilkes continued to talk.

I heard his chatter in one ear and let it out in the other, lighting a bonfire. While I was preparing dinner by pouring water into a pot and chopping up the ingredients, Veronica came out of the carriage after praying.

“Are you making dinner?”

“yes.”

“Can I help you?”

“It’s okay, so you can rest too. Or pray more.”

“You’ve done a lot.”

With a wry smile, Veronica sat down near me. Then he turned his head and looked at Wilkes in admiration.

“But Wilkes. You talk really well. Does your throat hurt?”

“This is another method for the language. It’s a traditional method that comes down from our village, but wolf beasts have a characteristic called howling, so if you combine these…”

Veronica laughed bitterly as he spit out information he hadn’t even asked. Then Lucille came out after meditating, and I called Wilkes.

“Hey. Wilkes.”

“Yes?”

“Do a duel with Lucille. I heard you’re participating in a tournament? I need to practice.”

“Oh! That’s great! Princess. Would you like to duel?”

“Oops. Joe, great! I won’t lose!”

“Heheeng! It’s not enough to beat me!”

After all, he is also addicted to playing cards, so when I told him to duel, the chatter stopped.

After a while, Wilkes’ chatter subsided as they began to exchange cards. However, perhaps because the chatter itself did not stop, Lucille was breaking out in a cold sweat and trying to smile.

If it wasn’t for her status as a princess, she would have been swearing at her.

A cowardly mental attack during a duel?

I wonder if it would be better to fight fair and square.

But even if he does it fairly well, will Lucille win…

“What kind of hardship is this on a journey that should be happy?”

“hahahaha. Well, there are days like this and days like that, right?”

“Hmph. Are you going to cut that?”

“I heard that I can do it alone. You are resting too.”

Veronica, who was loitering next to me and preparing to grab the knife, pursed her lips. It’s no use though.

In that much quieter situation, I cooked stew. In the meantime, the members of the Lily Knights prepared dinner and fetched water, and after a while the dinner was complete.

“I made a little more, so come and eat it? Don’t just stare there and swallow.”

“Huh? Thank you!”

Beast races have a sensitive sense of smell. That’s why the soldiers guarding this camp had been glancing at the stew I was making from earlier.

If you eat delicious food next to you, how much will your stomach hurt if you only eat dry food?

Originally, on such a journey, sharing is a virtue. It’s not like there’s not enough food.

That’s why I called them, and the tow tribe came toward us with a shy smile.

“This is really good. I’ll eat it.”

“Smells so good. Ah. That… lady. I’ll enjoy it.”

“You should do it to Master, not me.”

“Isn’t the tallest lady here?”

“No. You are our master.”

Lucille smiled and pointed at me, and the soldiers tilted their heads.

“The human species is authoritative, and those of high rank do not lift a finger, do they?”

“That’s right. The human species who came a few days ago didn’t even move his hand. Even I had to feed him to eat.”

Although that’s common. ‘Cause I’m a little different I shrugged my shoulders, and the soldier took the spoon and put the stew into his mouth and trembled.

“Umm~ This is awesome. Ah. Are you like the chef invited from Raidin?”

“It’s not like that. An invitation?”

“Not too long ago, Raidin said they were looking for a chef. So troublesome customers are coming.”

“Do you know who it is?”

The soldiers offered them baked bread and asked insinuatingly, but the soldiers did not answer. As they are soldiers belonging to Reidin, information about Reidin’s guests is treated as confidential.

“Still, if you have to recruit a chef, you must be a person with a high level of retardation.”

He’s probably one of the people I know, no matter how tall he is. It’s because I’m acquainted with quite a few high-ranking people while progressing through the main story.

I saw Lucille. Lucille, who was mumbling while blowing on the stew I made, blinked and smiled.

“it’s delicious!”

“Is that so? I’m glad.”

“I heard that Master is good at anything, and he is so good at cooking. I think I have to learn a lot.”

“You don’t have to learn everything I know. You just need to learn.”

“But… I want to become a sage too.”

“hahaha. That’s too much.”

“I’m sorry. But why did you look at it?”

“No. Just.”

I thought about who among the human species could be called a person of power, so I looked at it.

In addition to the kingdom, there were several other countries on the continent. Among them, the most powerful force was the kingdom, and the second most powerful force was the principality.

Perhaps, it might be the one who came to Raidin this time.

Well, up to that point, I’m not part-time job.

“It’s not a church. As far as I know, cardinals and above have to stay in the church for a while. Regarding the Elven Forest issue.”

is it? I nodded and focused on eating.

Let’s just enjoy the vacation normally this time.

In the midst of such a friendly atmosphere, Lark, who had finished eating the stew, stood up with a lute.

“Joohah! We also got a delicious dinner, so tonight we’ll have a splendid performance and song based on the music I just came up with…”

don’t do it. This baby.

You should do a duel with me later.

Originally, everyone should stay overnight, but the soldiers showed a very favorable attitude, perhaps because they served dinner. To the extent that they let Lucille and Veronica sleep in the place where the soldiers are resting.

Thanks to that, we had a fairly comfortable day sleeping in bed, so we were able to move right away the next day without any penalty, and we arrived at Mount Reidin in the evening.

“Wow…”

In the past, there was a powerful being called Reidin, a god covered in snow and ice.

The cold but warm bird that brought winter and made rest for the upcoming spring left its skin here to calm the exploding volcano and disappeared to the other side of the world.

His long, beautiful neck and head became mountain peaks high enough to pierce the clouds, and his wide wings that covered the sky turned into a cold mist of snow, trapping the heat in the area.

Its mighty body was shattered, covering the mountains stained with fire and violence, allowing life to take hold.

This is the legend of the great father Raidin, the creator of the Join tribe.

“Wow… that’s right.”

“I don’t know?”

“I don’t know the legend of the Join tribe.”

It seems that not only Veronica did not know, but Lucille, the Lily Knights, and Wilkers and Lark did not know either.

Well, I thought everyone knew this because you can find out by unlocking achievements. Anyway, if you don’t know.

“It is so beautiful because it is left behind by the skin of the creed.”

“That’s right.”

Reidin is a mountain where summer and winter coexist. As you go up the mountain, you can enjoy the coolness as it is filled with pure white snow and ice, and as you go down the mountain, as it gets hotter, you can enjoy the pleasure of a resort.

The huge mansion located on the ridge was located in the middle and was famous as an excellent resort.

With marine resources from the emerald sea on the back side of the mountain, resources from Mount Reidin, and great ingredients transported from all over the region, the Reidin resort was also famous as a place where you could taste all of the continent’s outstanding food.

I explained it to everyone on the level I knew, and Wilkes’ eyes twinkled in admiration.

“Hehe. We have something to talk about later.”

…silence to those who will hear what he will say later.

“As expected of a sage.”

At that moment, a rather low, quite pleasant voice was heard from the sky behind. When everyone turned their heads, a huge winged eagle with dark blue fur fluttered down.

“You know all about that.”

“Vermund.”

The blue-winged eagle landed gracefully, moved its beak lightly, then extended its wings.

Seeing that, Lucille tilted her head, and I grabbed the wings.

“It’s been a while.”

“That’s right. I asked him to come over, but he ignored me. He’s coming now? Seriously.”

He grumbled, looked at Lucille and Veronica, and wondered. Seeing that, Veronica crossed herself and said,

“Cardinal of the Church. This is Veronica. The wise man’s best friend.”

“Nice to meet you. I am Bermund Raidnin, the head of the Join tribe and the owner of Raidnin. If you are a friend of the wise man, you are also my friend, so feel free to talk.”

“I-I am Lucille, Master’s one and only disciple!”

“If you are a disciple of the sage, you are also my disciple.”

Then teach me instead. child Where to eat raw…

Wilkes also raised his hand toward him who smiled smirkingly.

“Although not the head of the family, I am Wilkers, an adventurer who shares many stories with the wise man!”

“It’s Lark, who will perform together soon.”

“Hmm… I see.”

Vermund touched his face with his wings and tilted his head.

“But the love of the dragon… isn’t there Evangeline?”

Why do their names appear?

“Wait a minute. Saying that Claire-sama and Evangeline-sama… Why don’t you ask Reventia-sama?”

Vermund responded indifferently to Lucille’s question.

“That’s because Leventia arrived in Raidin yesterday.”

I shut my mouth, and Vermund spoke again.

“With her cousin, Prince Cecil Claudia.”
