Minnalis: Raising Flags

「Here’s your reward Oh and congratulations You and your party have now both been promoted to rank E」

「Thank you」

Ten days have passed since we murdered Barkas and his companions I was currently out on an errand on Goshujin-sama’s behalf Specifically, he orderedof our rank so we could have it raised

Today’s prey were hairythem, and was currently onlately? I heard that he was injured and is currently resting at an inn」

「He’s doing well His wounds have been healing slowly but steadily」

I s of a receptionist standing in front oftheher eyelashes at Goshujin-sama when she first saw hie of heart, as she had finally began dealing with him as she would any other client The reason for her sudden change was because she started seeing a different male adventurer Her affections for hiive him extra infor as how they were both pigs

The first thing I did after leaving the guild was shopping for ingredients In a sense, it was a task that required even ht hat Goshujin-sa in his mouth, so I hest quality goods I could

「Hey Minnalis Nice to you see again Leterrand?」

「Yup Could I get… this, that, and that over there? Preferably for five copper pieces off」

Though I did splurge in the sense that I would buy oods, I still did try to cut our expenses down as s that ithin a reasonable price range I'd never get anything too expensive

「Well… you did make a few purchases yesterday too, so how about a three copper discount?」

「Please and thank you」

I pulled my purse out from within the Round Squirrel Pouch and handed the vendor the h quality This toas er than all the others we passed on our way to it Here, oods were quite a bit easier to coht within the Round Squirrel Pouch, bowed to the store’s owners, and left I then finally got back to the inn, went upstairs, and opened the door to see Goshujin-sa on his side atop the bed with his eyes closed

It ithout saying that Goshujin-sahtest bit injured We’d only told the guild he was so he could focus his efforts on gathering the information he needed

I looked at the adorable expression that’d reh his hair I would’ve gone even further, but refrained because I knew that he’d be able to sense that I did despite not actually being here

「I’ll go ahead and get dinner ready since it looks like you’re still not back yet」

I sed my laments, turned around, and headed downstairs so I could borrow the kitchen the saht’s dinner to be a le last bit of effort and technique I had put into both

Goshujin-sa me in the way of the sword since we left the capital Each ti to reasonable decisions were a pair of skills that would prove just as iht I immediately put lesson of his to work, and started carefully but sneakily observing his reactions to the ure out what I needed to do toout what he liked and didn’t like wasn’t actually as tough as I s he liked her pitch than usual He’d both chew and move the spoon to his lips much more quickly However, he’d also try his best not to fill his spoon up all the way, just so he could enjoy his estures were so adorable that they almost made me want to think they were supposed to be some sort of trap! I felt that it wasn’t fair for his he dids show on et carried away by my delusions」

I continued to think as I prepared both the vegetables and plu wasn’t the only thing I’d been tuning to Goshujin-sa the same with his spoon I’d le of curvature, handle width, and shape just to htest of adjusted the was his 29th

All 28 of the spoons that he’d used prior to his current one were sitting in my inventory as a sort of collection My favourites were the first, which I’d est period of ti I would’ve loved adding the bed Goshujin-sa to my collection as well, but, after soainst it, as taking it would effectively just bewith that urge by switching s with Goshujin-sama’s once every two or three days, with the reason for the lack of frequency being so that he doesn’t notice

「Wait! I just did it again! I really need to stop so I can concentrate on cooking」

I shookdinner

Goshujin-sama liked his soup more on therecognizable vegetables to finely chopped ones

I placed ot rid of the scuoat milk and butter All I needed to do noas let it cook for a bit and add a touch of salt The end result would be one of the dishesGoshujin-sama called Cream Stew Coincidentally, Cream Stew happened to be one of his favourites

「Okay, tihtly toasted a few pieces of rye bread and melted couple blocks of cheese on top of the the last piece of toast right as the soup had cooked itself to coht as I finished and nodded as if approving of ood as usual I’ you had to prepare your Master’s share too?」
