The Lunéville Branch
“Ilya Good work today”
“Yeah, good work”
Ria turned up at the counter from the office
Ria was a black cat beastkin, hardly different from a huren to her shoulders, bobbing here and there A very charirl
“Ilya, Lydia-san No 5 so can you go to the kitchen?”
“Got it”
No 5 was for clocking out of work, No 7 was for the restroouild, it beca numbers
By the way, Lydia was the former proprietress of an old-time d’hote restaurant The branchit, but Ilya used her skill to alter the seasonings a bit
Ilya left the reception to Ria and headed to the kitchen
“Ilya-chan’s in the kitchen!?”
“Did you hear that you bastards!?”
“”” Uooooooh! “””
Though she heard the cheers behind her, she pretended to not notice and continued
When she put on an apron and washed her hands after entering the kitchen, she ca respectfully
“Thank you very much for today”
“No, that’s what I was hired for right?”
Lydia laughed along with the kitchen workers cheerfully
“Alith the formality”
“Because I a this for me!”
“Really! Because originally you bankrupted me!”
“”” Ahahaha “””
Frohter, Ilya’s heart warmed a little
“Ilya! The orders!”
“Oh, yes!”
In the kitchen, a frantic voice could be heard co area Ilya ran to the station in a hurry The hu theeneral race name for those that don’t have animal parts or the extreme skeletons of dwarves and the like
Entering, Ilya took the grilling area spot She could easily adjust the temperature in precise amounts thanks to the [Appraisal] skill, as well as adjust the as
“Ilya-chan, you’re so lively compared to when you’re at the reception desk!”
“It’s just the shabby men then, don’t you want to be lavished with compliments as well!?”
“Ahahaha! That’s for sure!”
While thea conversation like that, she continued with her skilled cooking Even with the assistance of her skill, Ilya was completely beaten by her in proficiency
(Ah~, I want to be with Ria more)
Likely due to her retaining her memories from prior to her reincarnation, she was still co advantage of being the same sex, she wanted to flirt with Ria
She grappled with the fire for four hours while holding such worldly desires
“Chocolate banana parfait, vanilla ice cream…”
“Oka~y”
“… Closing~”
It was tiht onward, it becaht snacks on the menu
Endurance wasn’t a big deal, but there’s no way to get around ue
“Ilya, good work today”
“Yeah, you too”
Frank, as taking over the kitchen now, called out to Ilya Like many huentle smile, the type of man like a reliable elder brother
The townspeople consider hithe position of guild branch e of twenty, his status and skills were higher than kingdoh to drive out the thieves guild that built its nest in Lunéville That was the true nature of the man named Frank
“Have you taken your break yet today?”
“No, I wanted to prepare the kitchen for tomorrow”
Though Ilya used a polite way of speaking as a default for anyone, she used it for him to show sincerity
She owed Frank a debt of gratitude She was outclassed by him
“Is that so? Thanks as always”
“No…”
Thank you Whenever she heard words of thanks, she was attacked by guilt
In Ilya’s own status, her charorized in the sub-status, was 9999
The effect was tremendous, continuous activation, S-rank intensity, and resist i the owner, those ere hearing the owner’s voice; it interfered with theirthem into slaves
Since the effect couldn’t voluntarily be turned off, it could already be called a curse
Consequently, she used one of her unique skills, [God King Barrier] [God King Barrier] blocked both the owner’s and opponent’s physical attacks, ic, and curseall skills, it interrupted all status abnormalities and mind interference
Though the barrier was invincible, it consu able to maintain the barrier with her nearly inexhaustible supply of ical poas a feat
Although using the [God King Barrier] would stop things affecting her status, whenever she was talked to with kind words she would be seized with anxiety, “It isn’t stopping the effect”
“Ilya?”
“Eh?”
She always brooded deeply while stocking goods When she ca at Ilya’s face with an expression of worry
“Are you alright?”
“Ah, sorry I was just thinking a little”
She used the [Alche miso and soy sauce
Since Frank knew that Ilya had these skills, she was able to use them without hesitation
She actually used ancient , but she convinced hiic, with only two people in this world being able to use it Moreover, space-tinated a taboo
Since she didn’t want troublesouild to prepare sake and vinegar for ood
“Alright, now…”
Continuing to prepare the soy sauce and , tiramisu, and créme d’anjou
“Branchfirst”
“Yeah Good work today”
The ain realized how comfortable her current circumstances were
She woke up early in thesoundly
Brushi+ng her teeth and taking a shower, she changed from her pajamas into her exclusive equipment [Miko’s Restraint]
Her bra, panties, long gloves and knee socks were snohite with light blue lines here and there
Though they were originally cursed tools that lowered someone’s status and turned them into an evil God’s sacrifice, Ilya inherited them when she defeated the evil God She increased the effect of her equip] skill and equipped [God’s Divine Protection], a choker that doubled each piece of equiphly at the level of an average grown h since it had no effect on her sub-status, [God King’s Barrier] was essential
Putting her uniforh it still wasn’t time for work, she was still ready to leave at anyin thehad become a habit
“Good ”
As she went behind the counter froreeted the two receptionists Human relations was important
“Ah,Ilya”
“Morning”
Ria was at the reception desk today
Her tail swaying above her rather short skirt doubled the cuteness, healing Ilya’s heart
The other person, Luke, was hu with Ilya, he was really just trying to hide his embarrassment
Ria also didn’t e for her
“Hector-san was looking for you He said he wanted you to go to him as soon as I saw you”
“Hector-san? Got it”
“E-even though you said you got it, why haven’t you stopped stroking it?”
It was natural since Ria was so cute
(Please let me heal a bit more)
When she thought that, a group of two that seemed to be tourists came in
Ilya reluctantly stopped, deciding to head towards Hector
Hector was the town’s lord
Earningcountry Filéaleiven a court rank and territory However, a co hie problem at the time, so he become the lord of Lunéville
He hih, and could often be seen strolling through the town Due to Hector’s friendly disposition, he gave aid to townspeople that didn’t have jobs while exchanging jokes with them
When she arrived in front of the lord’s uard told her that Hector had headed to the west gate Of course, Ilya was accustoed
While exchanging greetings with people on the street, she once again arrived at the west gate She saw Hector surrounded by escorts and gatekeeper guards
“Good ”
“Ah, Ilya Morning Sorry for calling you”
Hector bowed his head
She felt like a lord shouldn’t depreciate themselves for a person, but she decided to leave that alone since the surrounding people were s wryly
“No, it’s fine Rather, is so?”
That is, when he called for Ilya, nine out of ten tiuild
Though Charon was generally in charge of public relations, the office’s staff couldn’t leave the office due to accu the branch would also be a problem
So Ilya was recognized as the errand runner
As for the lord, he was perceptive and tight-lipped Though he called Ilya because he had a general evaluation of her knowledge and judgeirl who retained memories from her previous life as a man, that intention was never transmitted
“There’s no conclusive evidence yet, but… apparently, it seems that a Rondébear appeared on the ard road”
The Rondéville Bear, cohout the country Rondéville, it was a bear-type demon that developed powerful forelimbs Gentle for a demon, it was low risk since it was oe and start attacking people ieable for unskilled h leveled demon
However, it was the , and omnivores should’ve had no reason to appear on the road
“… That’s strange”
It wasn’t just about the food
That group of four froation commission around there, near the road to the west
Though it would be good if it was needless worrying, it would be troublesome if they were related
“I’ll return to the branch and look into it at once Will a subjugation commission be put out?”
“Yeah Please give me a quote”
“Alright Then, later”
When she returned to the branch, the dining room was croith people who came to eat breakfast
(Work, you guys!)
She kept co towards the office
“Claude-san, estiation commission, please and thank you”
“A Rondébear huh? Got it! I wonder what the going rate is~”
While Frank was young, Claude had been working at the branch office the longest and handled his work pretty quickly
After that, he looked towards Desiree, a dog beastkin wo down opposite of Claude
“Desiree-san, please look for a subjugation commission near the west road”
“Is around two months fine?”
“Yes, thank you”
Though almost everyone at the branch was Ilya’s senior, Ilya always felt admiration towards their obedience They worked fast and didn’t put stock in useless pride, nothing but skilled personnel like that
Since she was no longer worried about the preparations of the subjugation with this, she went outside to investigate so
(My clothes… are they fine as-is?)
Just then, she noticed Ria and Luke’s gazes from the reception desk
“Is so?”
“N-no! It’s nothing!”
Ria turned back to the reception desk, flustered and blushi+ng She thought it was odd, but since it was so adorable she decided to not mind it
Watching Ilya’s back as she continued out of the branch office, Ria turned towards Luke while waving her arly
“Just now, Ilya looked so cool!”
“… We have to obey the rules”
Ria had on a flushed expression and Luke recalled Ilya from just noith a wry smile
Though Ilya didn’t seeency request caes frouidness
“I wonder if a woman can do it You’d better not show off!”
“You’re also ai for her, Ria? Your names are similar too”
“That has nothing to do with it! … Let’s try it”
“Try what?”
Clearing her throat, she gave a cool expression
“Luke…”
“You don’t look foolish enough to do it”
“I haven’t said anything yet!?”
“You guuuys, your salaries are going to be lowered if you keep playing arooound”
