187 185 Reunion (2/2)

That's more eye poison than that. I told Fran to hurry to the guild, but he stopped in front of it.

”What's up, Fran?

”That.”

When Fran looks at those pointing fingers, he has a familiar stall.

”That's a dragon diner.”

Yes. The stall of the dragon diner, the opponent who competed in Barbora's culinary contest, was opening in the square in front of the guild. Take a peek, he sells familiar dragonbone soup. It was long-haired blonde Dundee, ex-rank-A adventurer Fermus, who was a seller. No, it's still tannic cool.

”Oh, there he is. Isn't Fran from Blacktail Pavilion?

”Mm. Long time no see”

”Yes, it's been a long time. Are you going to compete in a militant tournament?

”Mmm.”

”Really? Good luck”

We have a little more time to get to the game. Fran spent a lot of time talking to Fermus.

I wondered if Fermus would not compete, but what a winner he was when he was younger, and this time he appeared to be from the main game as a seed player. That's former Rank A.

”I'm too old to be tough, but this year is special. You asked an acquaintance to compete. I couldn't refuse him because he took care of everything.”

So, this is how you advertise a little until the main battle? It's hard to be a merchant.

Or a messy, powerful rival has emerged. Whatever, dragon killer. They say this is easy to win.

And I could also find out about Barbora's reconstruction. Former Marquis Christon, a former lord, has thrown his fortune and dedicated himself to reconstruction, and he has also been supported by the Adventurer Guild and others, which seems to be going better than originally planned.

And then the orphanage all over Barbora was renovated with Amanda's support, and now you think Mr. Io is waving his full arm? Mr. Io was making all that soup with just some scum vegetables and a little salt. How delicious to create if you have regular ingredients and as many seasonings as you like to use. Maybe they are eating more delicious food than the average household.

Finally, I was told there was a curry boom going on in Barbora. He said that the stall with the name ”Ohm Tail Pavilion” was disturbed by the black-tailed pavilion, which was the original one, and that it was a black-tailed pavilion. And they name the store that inherited Master Curry's recipe in every store. Well, it's based on the recipe I gave to the cooking guild, isn't it a lie?

Fran was happy to hear that story, but it's time.

”Fran, let's go.”

”Mm-hmm. Time for the game”

”Oh, I'm sorry I held you back.”

”Yeah. It's good to hear all about it”

”I'll see you in the main battle”

”Mm-hmm. Okay.”

”Hehe, you're a motivational face”

Fran's face laughing back at Fermus is a totally battle-loving face. Apparently, it was switched on. I hope I didn't overdo it in the qualifying round.
