Chapter 5 (2/2)

“Well then, let’s eat?”

Everyone started eating after Werner’s signal.

“Y-yummy~”

“This bread is sooo soft, yum~”

“Yep, yep, this bread is amazingly soft and delicious. That soup too is so tasty.”

“This is scrumptious.”

“Delicious……”

Starting from above, Vincent, Franca, Rita, Werner-san, Ramon-san.

I’m relieved they enjoyed it. Still, I might have skipped way too many steps.

The reviews on the bread, especially, surprised me.

This degree of softness of the bread is only available for the aristocrats, they said.

Indeed, the bread I have eaten in this world were mostly black or brown bread which were quite stiff and hard.

In order to explain for the soft white bread, I gave the excuse that “This was the bread baked in my village; I bought lots of them and stored them in the item box before leaving.”

Eating such valuable food made them feel ashamed, and they wanted to return it since it is food after all and can be stored for later, so I had no choice but to keep the food.

I could always restock from the Internet Supermarket, ya know.

“Furthermore, we are very thankful to have warm food while on a journey.”

Everyone nodded at what Werner-san said.

“h.e.l.l yeah. Accepting this job was the right choice.”

Usually while on a journey, it is very common to have dried meat or those stiff bread and the like for their meals. Thus, the food that I have brought for the journey seemed like a sumptuous feast for them.

Having such appetising food created a relaxing atmosphere and made them livelier during our chats. This is good since we will be together for quite some time while on the journey.

It appears that even Iron Will has noticed the increasing instability in this country and have discussed among themselves on whether they should move to a neighbouring country.

It looks like they had then noticed my request and felt that it was the perfect job to take, so they received it.

Back then, there were greater rewards for other bodyguard requests, but we are not in dire need of money and this request guaranteed the provision of meals so they thought it was better.

It looks like the food expenses for the 5 of them are not something to be sneezed at.

“I should be the one thanking you all for accepting the request. I, too, had thought of leaving this country as soon as possible, but when I arrived at Kiers, I found out that the stagecoach service had been suspended, so I panicked for a moment. Thanks to all of you, I am now able to head towards Veenen. If you see it in that way, since cooking is my specialty, from now on, everyone can count on me for the food.”

Everyone smiled after hearing that.

The only thing to enjoy is the preparation of the meals, I guess.

I will work hard for this one thing that I can do, so please bring me safely to Veenen.
