But Fran and Colbert's conversation continues.
”The reward is three meals.”
”Yay! So please! Fran's cooking skills are amazing! I'm counting on you!
”Mm-hmm. I'll prepare a new dish”
”Seriously!
”So work hard”
”Whoa!”
”Oh, yeah, huh?
Except for the insanity of the cooking arm, Io, the commonsense man, got too confused to just say ”yes”.
”Are you okay?”
”Yes, no”
”If you're tired, you can take a break, okay?
”Okay. I'm going to take a break.”
Mr. Io leaves the cooking area in a flimsy foothold. You must be surprised and tired.
Fran, who dropped it off, opens his mouth again.
”And then I want to ask you something”
”What? You can ask me anything you want!
”I want you to tell me about Demitris”
When the name of his master came out of Fran's mouth, Corberto slightly corrected his residence.
”Are you interested?
”On request, I have to see Demitris”
”Ho. I mean, you want to know where he is? If you want to see me for sure, I think it's Urmut.”
Demitris, a rank S adventurer, is invited as a guest to Ulmut's martial arts tournament every year.
It's just that last year Demitris had errands he couldn't come to Urmut, and instead the Beast King was invited as his guest of honor. They were just in the period they had decided to visit the Kingdom of Kranzel.
”I think the Lord Beast loaned magic props and such for the management of the tournament, perhaps against Master Demitris or something.”
”Are you unfriendly?
”No, I'm not. I just thought you were invited instead, and you wouldn't be able to face it without anything? He's an adventurer and a king.”
On the political side, you mean you offered the demon props used in the quarterfinals, the time swing cage, as a result of sticking up for the same rank s adventurer Demitris?
Well, he seemed like a fancy guy, and as a royal, I guess that means Fumiko matters.
”I know you're coming to Urmut”
”So what do you want to know?
”Something I like.”
”Oh, you know what?”
”Everyone.”
I don't want to be crude in contact with Demitris. That's true in the sense that I don't want to piss off Rank S, and I definitely want useful information to accomplish the request.
”Right... if you represent the master easily...”
”What if I reveal it?
”Strict, harsh, bigoted. Is that the place?
At least it doesn't seem easy to stick around.
