Chapter 13 (1/2)

Gasagasa

The one that appeared was

Nh? Who?

We fixedly stared at each other

Uu-n, but I get the feeling I have seen them somewhere before

Ah-!

“Thoma?” [1]

As I said that he responded with the sa:

“Ririinasama?”

Is what he muttered

As I thought, he had grown a lot so I hadn’t recognized hiht away but this was the head chef’s son, Thoma

We hadn’t ht away

If I recall properly we only briefly saw each other’s faces when I last returned to the territory

Thoe as Brother, and since ere sether

Throwing in Sana as e could be called childhood friends

People really grohen you let 6 years go past, huh~

Resemblance to his face back thenwell, the hair color and eyes, I guess?

Ooh~ well done nized that it was Thoma!

“By the way, Tho in a place like this?”

“He? Ah, I just got asked by rasses to be used as ingredients in his cooking, so I came hereI mean, is why I have come here” [2]

Nh?

His choice of words felt a bit strange

“More i here thisnay, in a place such as this?”

Oi!

That see each and every thing~

“Thoma, it’s fine to talk normally, you know It’s not like there is anyone else besides us” [3]

Thoma made a troubled face

“No, butI suppose”

And didn’t give a proper answer

I’ it’s fine, so isn’t it fine already

“You’ll just tire yourself out by using soe polite forms You can leave out the honorifics for my name as well like you did in the past”

“Ah- yeahwell then, I’ll take you up on that So, what’re’ya doing here?” [4]

“I have been tasked by Mother to go collect some medical herbs”

“No, what I wanted to ask is why are you here in the territory, but ”

Ah, I see

Thinking about it nore for me to be in the territory

Isn’t it bad forreturned due to the cancelling of ement? (1)

Are? In that case, could it possibly be bad to visit different places in the territory in order to hunt monsters?

As I stayed silent thinking about s Thoma became flustered

“Ah- no, sorry! I asked an aard to answer questions You don’t really have to tell me the detailed story”

Why I do not know but Thoma seemed flustered for some reason
