”Alright, ready.

”I hope you didn't forget anything, Keogh.

”I will accompany you wherever you go, Phitis.

”Master~!　I'll follow you anywhere!

”Pop!　Leave it to Rock to move!

”Where you go, brother, I'll be there.

When I got ready and went outside, Lily, Fitis, Dora-chan, Locke, and Jack were there, all the usual members were there.

Since then, I've plowed the fields, and with the help of the townspeople, I've taught them how to harvest and cultivate.

The raggedy house has been rebuilt with the money I saved and is now inhabitable, and Mina will take care of everything in my absence.

Well, let's go.

The Kingdom of Valkyria is on its way.

”I know you're going to get your seed from the Empress there. Since you lost in the final, that would be the first one.

”Mmmm, Lily. Don't blame the master~

”I'm sorry,

Dori, who had been riding on my head in response to Lily's usual snide remarks, rides on Lily's head and protests, ”No, the second one, exactly.

No, the second one, to be exact.

I disagreed with Lily's earlier statement and took something out of my pocket in front of everyone who was wondering.

It's a golden jewel and also a seed.

the seed of the world tree that was given to the winner of the grand cooking competition. It was the seed of the World Tree that was given to the winner of the grand culinary competition.

What on earth did you do with it?

Well, it's a lot to talk about.

It was an unexpected turn of events, even for me.

A month after the final, I was planning to contact Moe, get a title of hero, and enjoy the slow life for a while, but then that guy showed up.

”Hey, Keogh. You really live in a ramshackle house, don't you?

What are you doing here, Dad?

No, I'm just trying to teach you something.

It was always the same as when I came home from work and my dad would talk to me out of the blue.

Did you see the jape last week?　Hye-sook and Krol are facing off.

”Huh?　Seriously?　I gotta see it!

”Oh, well, I'll let you read it and all the back issues next time.

”At ......, you don't think that's what you want to teach, do you?

No, no, no, no. By the way, did you hear from the Goddess about this demon king?

I nodded quietly about it.

Honestly, there's no way I could forget such a shock.

As I was nodding my head, a question came to me.

Did my father know about it?

”Of course. Why do you think I'm here?
