678 676 Miscellaneous Clerk, Includes 3 Food Bribes (1/2)
He looks surprised when he invites Corbelt into the cooking area.
”Is that Lord Io from the orphanage? Why are you here?
”Do you two know each other?
”Um, who is it?
Corberto seems to know Io, but Io doesn't seem to know Corberto. I'm tilting my neck with a troubled face.
”Whoa, excuse me. Your soup is also famous in Barbora, so I just know it unilaterally. Of course, we buy it every year!
”Huh? Um, thank you?
I see. If you are a cook lover and respect your cook Corberto, do you naturally know Mr. Io? That's a compliment.
”Oh, I'm Rank B Adventurer Colbert,”
”Yeah, huh? La, rank B?
When I heard Colberto introduce himself, Mr. Io raised his surprise. It even sounds screaming.
Our senses were dull, but Rank B Adventurers are pretty big from the average person. I wouldn't even go with a hero, and I'd be treated differently than a nobleman, but it would be perceived as a far greater presence.
If they suddenly named me, I couldn't help but be surprised.
”Ah, oh. But Fran there is also a Rank B Adventurer, right?
”Huh?
Speaking of which, were you previously named Rank D? After that, I might not have dared to tell you the rank.
”F, Mr. Fran?
”Mmm. Really.”
”Yes, yes!
When Fran nodded, Mr. Io raised his bare voice.
”Because before... Yeah?”
”Never mind.”
”Yes, yes. Besides, I think you're awesome, don't you?
”Huh? No, no...”
Mr. Io is frightened by Corbelt, who bows his head. Rank B Adventurer must be in awe and confused. Totally troubled face.
”No, no, this is me -”
”No -”
We're bowing our heads to each other.
We can't go on like this.
”Mm-hmm. Hey, how did Corberto get here? You just came to see my face?
”No, I was going to let you help me this time. What do you say we do everything?
That being said, it is somewhere full of anticipation. I looked familiar with this look. That's the look on Fran's face when he takes a curry. Well, not cute at all.
Maybe he's looking to bribe me. The same thing happened during the last cooking contest.
”... you can let me help you”
”Is that true!
”Mm-hmm. I wanted a choreographer”
”That's fine!
Fran is also a strong statement because he knows Colbert's purpose is not money, but it would be the other way around if he thought normally.
”Huh? Huh?
Mr. Io is confused again. Well, it doesn't matter what you think. It is not considered normal, such as hiring Corberto, a Rank B adventurer, for chores. It could be described as a transcendent waste of high-ranking adventurers.
