102 CHAPTER V COUNTERMEASURES FOR THE SAME (2/2)

Well, wait, before we do that, give me that wardrobe you put up earlier!

I put my hand in my backpack, and Shelly and Leena got impatient.

”Uh-huh. Here you go.

The momentum of the two of them was so strong that I unintentionally took out a wardrobe from my backpack.

''Thank you . Shelly, stick with me, please.

Uh-huh.

The two of them hurriedly locked themselves in, developing a pitch-black ward as they stuck together just in time .

'You didn't have to go that far. ....... I see Belle is fine with it.

'We don't want to touch a real rat, do we?　But I'm fine with the build.

Okay. Okay, big release!　Spread out~!

Then I let the rat out of my backpack.

The mouse was gone in the blink of an eye.

”Wow. If you two had seen this, you would have cried.

Yeah, that was awesome.

The place was crawling with rats.

I'd be mildly traumatized if that thing was coming at me.

All right, let's call them together. How are we going to signal the person inside the warding?

The warding would also block out sound, and there's no way you'd know if I called you, right?

Why don't you send them a reminder?

Oh, yeah. I'll try.

Come out, both of you, when you're done.

Are you sure it's over?　(You don't have one of them left, do you?)

Oh, here we go. Telephonic communication is useful.

Okay. They're all gone.

Bye.

The wards were disappearing and they came out.

There they come out. Let's check the footage then.

This time, he took the rat monitor out of his backpack.

”What do you have to show me?

Then something popped up on the monitor.

This is the kitchen of the castle.

Oh, it's huge.

This is the two cooks and Mr. Edwan, right?

Yeah, it's in the castle's kitchen.

So it seems. So now you know how fast the rats are moving.

I'm sure I just released it just now, but they're already delivering the footage from the kitchen.

''Oh, the two of them are talking about something with the castle cook.

At Bell's words, everyone's eyes returned to the monitor.

Please, please don't start a fight or anything, okay?

”Are you the cooks of the Forster family?

The cooks that were originally hired to work for him had a question for them.

To which Mr. Jim responded.

”Yes, sir.

Jim's face was a little tense.

If we don't get along here, we're in trouble.

I'm sure he was thinking about that ...... but his fears were unfounded.

『『『『 Oh, my goodness! 』』』』

Surprisingly, the castle cooks cheered loudly.

''Please shake my hand.''

Oh, me too!

Me too!

He even started to ask for a handshake.

”What?　Why are you so happy about it?

Well, ...... I've heard before that working for the Forster family is a great dream for a servant.

I think someone said something like that.

Yes. It's a great honor for an ordinary person like me to be able to work in a brave man's house.

If Belle says so, then it must be true .

'I see ...... that's why the food at Leo's house is so good.

Well, they were chosen from a lot of applications.

These were the people Sam had chosen for the day .

With that in mind, I looked at the monitor again and saw that the ...... chefs had finished shaking hands with each other.

''I'd like to ask you two to be the head and sous-chef, ...... okay?

Seriously?　Are you sure?

'What?　Are you sure?

”Because we're here afterwards, you know?

But no, I don't think so.

No, I don't have the right chef here to tell you what to do.

Your cook is very cool.

I'll give her a raise later.

Okay, ...... and Emma will take care of the chef.

Huh?　Really?

'What?　You do it. Are you a man?

'What's a man or a woman got to do with cooking?　I would definitely prefer Emma as head chef. I'd be a great support.

Jim...... cool.

I'll give Jim a pay raise too.

”Okay, okay. Okay, I'm Emma, and I'll be your new head chef. It's very nice to meet you.

And so we have a unique female chef in this world.

Oh, that's right.

Yeah, that's great.

Let's see what happens with you two.

Wow. This is gonna be fun for dinner.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Well, then, I guess I'll just have to do what I have to do before dinner.

Then I remodeled the bathrooms and put a bunch of Red Golems in the castle.

And that evening's dinner was delicious.
