499 Episode 463 After all, it's inconvenient.

Someone you can trust?

But you're a boy with adventurers, aren't you?

Lieutenant Leah smiled at me.

"Sure, the church asked me to make a search party, but I predicted it and told the top adventurers to look for the boy the night before. Well, that's all the gatekeepers know."

That's what happened.

"I see. That's why the top adventurer moved three teams."

"Yes, the middle-adventurers are fine, but some of the lower-level adventurers are on the church side, so I tried to protect the boy before the search party left."

Lieutenant Leah's expression clouds.

The father who saw it exhales small.

"Didn't you find it?

"Yes, my boy, Bis, he's not an adventurer, he's the second son of a merchant, and he doesn't know much about the woods. It must be difficult for him to hide from the top adventurers. But I couldn't find it....."

That's funny.

Even the top adventurers find it difficult to completely hide their tracks when they travel through the woods, Sifar said.

If a boy named Bis is not familiar with the woods, there will definitely be traces.

Without it... aren't you in the woods?

"Is there any chance you're not in the woods?

So why did you think it was the woods?

You have to cross the gate to get out of the forest.

I think we can stop it at the gate.

"Ah ~ That's... actually, there was a gatekeeper who was close to the biscuit, and it seems that he got the confectionery from the biscuit, and he fell asleep after eating it during the break. Looks like he took some medicine."

I see, let him sleep in the woods... did he really go to the woods?

Did you just make it look like that?

"The woods don't show any trace because they look like they went to the woods.

Lieutenant Leah nods mysteriously.

"Mr. Druid was a Merchant Guild card, but a former adventurer? I was surprised because it was sharp."

"No, you'll notice if you think about it a little bit. You noticed the top adventurers and Gilmus, right?

"Well, yes. I just listened to you, but it's amazing."

Your father smiles bitterly at Lieutenant Leah's words.

"I think Ivy noticed, too. Did you notice?"

"Uh, yes. I thought it was a fake...."

If you listen to the stories, you'll normally notice, right?

In response, Lieutenant Leah opened her eyes a little.

"Oh, maybe it was Gilmus who spread the rumor?

Rumors?

I heard that in the laundry today. Is that it?

"Er... yes. Yes, I can't count on the men in this village."

"Hey."

The store owner shouted in disgust, but Lieutenant Leah ignored it beautifully.

"Women help. If they glanced at each other, they wouldn't be able to do anything rude to the bishop, so the rumors spread quickly."

I see.

Certainly the women in this village are going to be great watchmen.

I mean, if you want to protect me, I'll attack you a little bit.

I see. Is this story a secret?

"That's right. I'm sorry, but please don't tell anyone."

"Okay."

Lieutenant Leah looked relieved by your father's reply.

"I need to ask you something, okay?

"Yes, it looks like you can help me, so I'll answer if I can."

"Why do nobles come to the church in this village?

I do care.

Thanks, it's like there's a lot of nobles gathering around.

In the case of aristocrats who say so, they will not come without profit.

"I don't know. In the old days, even if he had a bad attitude, he was quite involved with the village. But I've been distancing myself from the village for about 20 years, and my attitude has been getting worse. When I realized, the nobles came to the church with their patience, looking into what happened 20 years ago, and nothing came out."

Lieutenant Leah makes a look of regret.

And tilt your neck.

I don't think she's directly involved because she looks in her late 20s, but I get the impression that she's involved.

"If I had been a little brave, I might have grabbed my tail."

Is that it?

Older than you look?

"How old is Lieutenant Leah?

I don't think I can ask, but I care!

"Years? I'm 45."

"Eh!

That's a lie.

I can't see at all.

I thought you were in your late 20s.

Lieutenant Leah smiles happily at my words.

Laughing made me look a little younger.

"Ah, I don't want to talk about this... eh? How far have we talked?

Now that we know everything, that's enough.

"Oh, that's right. Please do not leave Ivy outside for a few days, as the nobles who came in with a stomach may like children. The nobles could use their power as a shield."

Yeah, I thought so.

I suppose the women in the village were worried about me because of the nobility involved.

"I see. I don't leave the inn because I have things to do."

Cook your magic bag while you're in the inn.

I have work to do and it's just right.

"I'm sorry, the power of the church is too much...."

Lieutenant Leah seemed to be sewing between jobs, and as soon as she finished talking, she went back to work.

You've made me feel busy for me.

"Mr. Druid. I'm sorry it's getting late."

The shopkeeper lowers his head to his father.

"Please raise your head because it's okay. Besides, could you lend me the kitchen?

The shopkeeper leans to his father's words.

"I made dishes to eat on my journey and stored them in my magic bag, but by the time I came to this village, I had eaten everything, so I want to make them and store them again. I'd like to make a little bit more, so I'd like you to lend me your spare time in the kitchen."

"Oh, I see. Um... I'm fine now."

From now on, there are no ingredients.

"Are you okay tomorrow? I want to go shopping for ingredients."

Don't ask your father to buy the ingredients alone.

I wanted to see the village too, but I'm sorry.

"Um, I'll buy the ingredients with you tomorrow, if that's okay."

Want to buy it with me?

"If you want the vegetables that the inn is wholesaling, I'll put an order on them now."

That may be a pleasure.

I can buy it at the wholesale price.

"Are you sure? Excuse me?

"That's not true. If you order a lot, there's a good deal for you."

Yes, it is.

"Well, please. Ah, can I order more?

"Me? Me? Me?

"... maybe that's it."

What a conversation.

It would be interesting if something completely different came up.

I'm in a hurry.

"Ivy, I want you to write down the vegetables you need."

"Okay."

It's good to have something to do.

Still, if you're going to be staying at the inn, should we leave when the building is finished?

If you stay longer, you'll be able to get involved with the church.

"Um, first, what you need for the bowl, then the salad and soup. Dad, do you have anything you want me to make? I'll do my best to make anything."

"Oh, I'm so glad.... I ate it before, sliced the meat into thin pieces and sandwiched it in the bread... what was it? I can't remember his name.

Maybe a hamburger?

I didn't really understand the difference with sandwiches, but I found a round white bread and tried it.

I cut the meat small and small, pinched it, stretched it thinly, baked it, sandwiched it in white bread and ate it.

Hamburger?

"Sure, that's the name?

Nh ~, if I go to the bakery and have a round white bread, I can do it, but it's not much.

Go to the store and see... no.

I shouldn't have left the inn.

I knew it would be a little inconvenient.
