678 676 Miscellaneous Clerk, Includes 3 Food Bribes

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.

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.
