Chapter 1 (2/2)

Finally, two red earth dolls were completed, and the two puppets lifted the Black Orc and started packing it. Black smoke was still being emitted while  being stored due to the magical attack from Yumis previously.

“1, 2……..5, this is 5 gold coins. Here you go.”

Yumis casually counted 5 gold coins and handed them over.

Upon receiving it, I briefly bowed, and Yumis received the tool bag from the golems and proceeded to go away from town.

Of course, I also wanted to obtain some distance between us from the unexpected encounter, so I headed toward Elumia. When she completely disappeared, Minaris stopped her Iron Mask skill.

Tl: Iron Mask in this instance can also expressed as Expressionless, Hard, or cold as ice. Etc.

“That’s surprising, I never expected that I would see that woman’s face before I even reached the city.”

“A~ah, that’s right. This has been quite the unexpected event.”

“But still, is it not fine for Master to acquire the Iron Mask skill? Although there were no requirements for it up until now, flattery with such a trash like woman and to a kind of person holding such a complexion……..such a woman, saying she was beautiful. ”

Minaris was murmuring something with a small voice at the end, but I wasn’t able to hear it.

I wanted to ask her what she said, but the mood has worsened from the previous situation, so I considered against it.

“The Iron Mask skill is very irritating, if both of us seem expressionless whenever we meet a revenge subject, then that would alert them. Honestly, taking such a friendly attitude with her made me feel nauseous, but I was able to handle it.”

“If Master says so, we~ll……..Then, should I also have a friendly smile on my face from now on? But still, no matter what happens, it would still give a bad aftertaste.”

“That is so, that feeling is the lowest. Let’s do it together, whether we will be cheerful together, or feel worst together.”

“Doing it together you say…….that is certainly quite attractive.”

“Wa, what is it? What is with this weird self indulgent fantasy?”

It what was quite the unexpected image of the woman, but I don’t think she seems like she would spend her free time doing unproductive work.

“Ha~a, We~ll, that’s fine too.”

“? We~ll, for now, let’s consider it to be the former. When we reach the next town, let’s not pick a inexpensive lodging, but go for a slightly expensive one. It’s not uncommon for travellers to choose expensive lodging when they just finished a long journey. Let’s go somewhere and have a delicious meal rather than cooking it.”

“Nope, I shall make the meal. Please change your preferences and allow me to make it..”

“Nn, but, I keep relying on you for making the meals, do you not feel the need to rest at all? We will be able to borrow the kitchen, it’s alright not cook as long as we are having a regular dinner while inside of the city.”

“Cooking is my hobby after all. Moreover, I don’t like having food cooked by the likes of those humans. Or, is it that you dislike my cooking?”

“……..sometimes, that’s quite mean of you to say that, you.”

“Ara, did you never notice? A woman is a creature that’s very good and has cunning plans.”

Acting at the time MP Intoxication increased her sex appeal, Minaris laughed.

“……..She obtained objectives using cunning means, and becomes a vile creature to obtain them if dominated.”

Minaris said this while laughing, and the dark smile disappeared from her face while a dark flame lit up in her eyes.

Most likely, she remembered one of her Revenge candidates, the words said by Rosha.

A girl I saw in the memories of Minaris signed the contract with her was certainly such a kind of person.

“We~ll, I don’t have any problems since Minaris’s cooking is quite delicious.”

“Tss, if you say it so directly, I feel quite embarrassed.”

“Iya, aren’t you trying to hide those expressions while using the Iron Mask skill?”

She was Embarrassed, saying so, Minaris still kept on having her expressionless face.

“I think that trying the other Chefs dishes will be helpful as well though. Since Minaris already knows the basics, eating out will be quite helpful.”

“That is quite right. Although, I  dislike it. I don’t want to increase the number of dishes in my repertoire. To the point of recreating it perfectly so that I can make it any number of times later.”

“Oi, oi, is that so. Iya, We~ll, that’s fine, I guess?”

Somehow, the inner Chef inside of Minaris seemed to have been provoked somehow.

Once I confirmed that the Iron Mask skill had been deactivated from her expressions, we proceeded to head toward Erumia.

I realized that I had calmed down a little bit later after that..

“By the way, we haven’t had breakfast yet.”

“That seems to be so, due to fighting with the Black Orc, I seemed to have forgotten about it, I shall prepare it right now.”

On that day, Minaris used a little extra eggs in the kitchen to make breakfast that was quite extravagant.
