Chapter 330: B Rank Hunter Party 3 (1/2)

『Th-This is……』(Merchant)

『Hmmmm, it’s not the spices around here…』(Merchant)

『Cooking is also unusual. Is it an exotic dish…』(Merchant)

Passengers pushed the hunters out of the way and sampled the praised Mile’s dishes one after another. Apparently, most of them seem to be merchants.

Locals do not stay at inns and those who come to the capital to work usually stay at cheaper inns. There is no one who travels here to earn money will stay at a luxury inn.

And those who don’t care about that amount of money, those who prioritize safety and comfort over cash, and staying in a high-class-inn to keep their status and trustworthiness is part of their work. When it comes to those who think that there is, it was inevitably the merchants who came to the capital city from other cities for business. …Except for the higher-ranking hunters who are staying in regular lodges.

『Hmm? This dish is …』(Merchant)

『Oh, it’s boiled deer’s internal organs with spices and a seasoning called “Shoyu”…』(Mile)

『It’s definitely delicious. However, to use such expensive spices for something like the internal organs…』(Merchant)

Mile explains to the merchant-like person who was awe.

『Oh, the spices I used for it are cheap, with no spiciness or depth in the taste. That’s why I mix various things as a bulking agent to cover that area, but it takes time and effort. Instead, the cost is cheap though, ahaha​​…』(Mile)

Ginn!! (Eyes glanced SFX)

『『『『Hiii~~!』』』』(Red Oath)

“Red Oath”, yes, even Pauline screams from the merchant’s gaze… Yes, the expression that it seems to kill people, a perfect gaze.

Mile doesn’t understand well what she has said to the merchant now.

Didn’t she mention the danger when she first extracted capsaicin from Pauline’s hot magic?

…Yes, she felt good that her dishes were well-received by senior hunters and mid-level merchants who are accustomed to eating delicious foods. The other three of “Red Oath” worried that Mile would let it get to her head and neglected her alertness but they couldn’t tell her.

Even though she was smart in the past, it was about her studying. However, she got a die-hard failure that she wasn’t familiar with interpersonal interaction and thinking about the other person’s feelings.

『『『『『『How much can I get from all your stock?』』』』』』(Merchants)

Gin~!! (SFX)

The merchants greeted each other by their gazes at the same time with their words spoken out together.

『This is scary!』(Rena)

『Please spare me …』(Maevis)

Rena and Maevis are backing out.

As expected, Paulin seems to have a slightly worsened complexion.

Even if it’s Pauline, enduring all merchants’ killing gazes seemed to be too much for her.

『Ah, you can have business talks later with Pauline-san…』(Mile)

Mile casually pulled Pauline into the battlefield without worrying about Pauline’s feelings.

No, it’s a natural action for Mile, and there’s no wonder …

『No, but I’m grateful to eat delicious food』(Male Hunter 1)

At that time, one of the hunters who read the air, the man who first called out the “Red Oath”. Apparently, he seems to be a party leader. He talked to Mile.

『Tomorrow we are going to do a dangerous request which I don’t know if we can go home alive.

Now that we have a taste of these good foods, we won’t complain even if it’s our last dinner.

It was a satisfying meal.

Thank you, Young Miss…』(Male Hunter 1)

『『『『Eh?』』』』(Red Oath)

It’s not like there’s war or monster runaways (stampede), even senior hunters don’t need to do a job like “I don’t know if I can come home alive“.

If they receive such a thing, it won’t be enough no matter how many lives they have. Even a nomination request can be refused.

『Why why …』(Rena)

Yes, Rena can’t help but ask.

『Oh, it’s hard to refuse the nomination request we just received.

There’s no party of rank A or higher, and the other party of rank B has perceived danger.

Anyway, it’s an emergency that can destroy the surrounding towns and villages, including the capital, and the country itself.

If it’s nomination request, you can’t refuse as B rank hunters.

Position, will, … and belief!』(Male Hunter 1)

『『『『…………』』』』(Red Oath)

The girls understand.

Because they understand, they can’t say anything.

The other members of the party laughed out and picked up the tasting dishes.

Probably, they showed their faces to the guild without knowing the situation and was nominated by the guild. If they wanted to refuse, they should have refused.

However, they take it with pride.

They know that it’s a “Red Request”.

They are true hunters. The senior hunters.

Chirari~ (Glanced*)

Rena quickly looked at the other three.

Kokuri… (nodded*)
