Chapter 41 (1/2)

TN: A short and sweet chapter! Makes me want to eat Mont Blanc But it’s rare in my country and my diet disallowed it sobs orz

Mont Blanc

Thodom, was surprised at its wonderful taste

(What is this!? I've never eaten a confectionary this delicious!?)

This confectionary… used an abundant areat deviation from normal confectionaries that Thomas knew

Placed on top was a vivid yellow Marone that was boiled in sugar water

It crumbled down inside his mouth and dissolved like the woolen threads that covered the entire confectionary, which also used Marone as its ingredient

Hidden beneath the threads andwhite and soft that tasted like sweet milk

And underneath all of those was soft and yelloeet bread

These sweets were high-class enough that they were appropriate for aristocracy

A soft sweetness that dissolved in his mouth, he wanted to eat another bite

As soon as he repeated this action, the pastry disappeared in a blink of eye

[Ou, demon lady! Give me one more Mont Blanc!]

[Yes, just a moment please!]

He had no choice but to repeat the interaction that he had already done twice

While waiting, Thomas leaned back on his comfortable chair

(When I received this quest, I thought that 3,000 silver coins is an absurd ale dessert…)

Indeed, in this case, he was satisfied by this exceptional reward

(This is thanks to that randma's wisdom, huh)

Discretely, he thanked the head maid that had ascended to the heaven last winter

Yes, if that worave, Thomas would neither be asked to work for 3,000 silver coins, able to know the presence of this restaurant, nor be able to eat Mont Blanc…

――― She wanted this to be known

This request was accepted by Thoo

From the Imperial City, there was a town that could be reached in 3 days by riding a carriage and walking

To the east of the city, there was a well-grooe amount of Marone could be harvested in autumn

Most of Marone used to do this town indispensable for the Kingdom

Due to the Eleanor as the feudal lord's wife, this toas inal name

…The current lord was her husband who married into her family, an influential ruler

She was Thomas' current client

[So, that…]

[Yes, I would like you to find a confectionary using Marone]

To convince Thomas who doubted his ears, Eleanor as in her ly with a sex appeal that Thomas had never seen before

Apparently she was serious

(Is she serious? 3,000 silver coins for a confectionary?)

Thomas leaked a surprised voice

The beginning of this was the head maid as a veteran that served the household ever since Eleanor's grandfather's time

She bought some wonderful sweets that used Marone, a special product of this town, a couple of years ago during autumn and served it to her master

It was a wonderful sweet that surpassed all other sweets that used Marone, and quickly captured the hearts of the lord's fa Eleanor

Every year she looked forward to this time of year

[Since that person passed away, you do not knohere to obtain it]

[Ee, that's right Even though we already looked around for it]

According to what he heard, the head ht a cold last winter that caused her to pass away

She said that that affair was just a few days ago

Well, it couldn't be helped When people were on their death bed, there was no ti

The problerave

For many years, she served the lord's house She had neither relatives nor children

Even the maid that she had trained to take over her position did not knohere to get it

At first, Eleanor thought that she could buy it when the season came

After all, that dessert used a lot of Marone, which was the specialty of this town

Although it was more refined than any ordinary sweets, there's no doubt that it was made by a patisserie of this town

That's hen autuht time to buy confectionaries, Eleanor used her authority to find the dessert in the town…

It turned out that no one knehere the head maid obtained the sweets

[I see… so that's why you requested my service]

[Ee, that's right In place of the deceased Gisele, please find the illusionary dessert named ”Mont Blanc” For the prosperity of this town]

Yes, that dessert… it's not just that Eleanor wanted to eat it

Since Mont Blanc had been served to special guests before, Mont Blanc became known as a special confectionary that could only be found in this town

A high priestess serving the God of Light who boasted having the most number of followers in the Eastern Continent and a powerfulthe people who searched for that fascinating sweet

At this time of year, occasionally some people visited the town of Marone in search of Mont Blanc

Even if it's just a pastry, it was still a probleh

Therefore, they would like to know the method to obtain Mont Blanc even if they had to pay quite a huge amount

To do so, they brought this up to the royal court and raised 3,000 silver coins in order to hire Thomas

[I understand I accept this request]

After listening to her story, Thomas pleasantly accepted it

Thoating than fighting… a former treasure hunter

It was unfortunate that his eyesight became worst, which was required for fine techniques of a treasure hunter, but his knowledge and his intuition that he cultivated had not declined

An adventurer who specialized in research, not fighting
