Chapter 345
Legend Chapter 345
It was the day after Rei and Set’s last day in Emoshion . Rei was at the main gate, going through the formalities of leaving the city . The weather was sunny, as if to bless their departure .
「Rei-san, thank you for your help with this matter . As soon as we here any information about rare species, I’ll send it to Gilm’s guild . 」
Roseus bowed his head as the daughter of the Blue Sea Coral inn’s innkeeper spoke with reddened eyes .
「You must come back again . Absolutely!」
「Hmph, you’ve given me some ideas for an interesting weapon . Come see me again any time . I’ll keep some barrels of scraps for you . 」
「I look forward to okonomiyaki becoming dish that spreads out from this city to the surroundings……no, I hope it becomes a dish that spreads out to the whole world . 」
After her, the Dwarven blacksmith and Arctos also spoke to Rei .
Nodding at their words, Rei recieved his guild card back from a guard and stored it back into the Misty Ring .
Since the Necklace of Subservient Monster, that had been hung on Set’s neck, had already been returned, there wasn’t anything else he still needed to do .
「Well, if I ever want to eat more delicious seafood again, I’ll drop by . 」
「Gururururu~」
As Rei said his goodbyes, Set gave a reluctant cry, maybe because he felt some attachment to the various seafood dishes he had eaten while in Emoshion or because leaving the people who had cared for him . .
「Oh, I almost forgot . Here, have this . If you’re heading back to Gilm, you’ll have to camp outside . Please have this for lunch . 」
Arctos handed Rei a hefty basket . Folding back the cloth cover, he saw a large number of sandwiches .
There were particularly many shrimp sandwiches as Arctos knew what Rei liked after he had visited his stall several times . The amount might be small considering Set, but that was unavoidable considering how much he could eat .
「Arctos-san, we also prepared a lunch box……I even made it myself . 」
The innkeeper’s daughter complained to Arctos before murmuring to quietly .
「No, it’s a great help . I’ll have to spend several nights outside on my way back to Gilm . With my item box, the food won’t go bad . 」
As he said that, Rei stored the basket of sandwiches into the Misty Ring and got on Set’s back .
「Well, I guess I’ll get going . I’ve been all of your care . Set!」
「Gururururu~!」
At Rei’s words, Set flapped his wings and ran up into the sky .
Those who had come to see him off were stunned at Set’s speed, which was faster than they had expected . But, they eventually went back to their daily lives, which had changed in various ways after their meeting with Rei .
A few hours after leaving the city of Emoshion . Rei, who was thinking about stopping to have lunch, frowned somewhat unpleasantly at the intense sunlight shining down on him and Set .
「Hmm, I’m glad that the weather is nice……but as expected of this season, the sunlight is strong . 」
「Gururu~」
The reason he hadn’t minded it for so long was because the Dragon Robe was able to regulate its temperature to some extent . As for Set, as a Griffon, he didn’t care for this level of heat .
Spread out on the ground below them was a green carpet . Sometimes, adventurer parties comprising of several people could be seen .
「They’re a bit off the road, but if they’re here……maybe that’s what they’re looking for . 」
There was a group of about 20 Fang Boars located a few kilometres away from the adventurer party . Although it wasn’t a monster but an ordinary animal, Fang Boars were well known for the taste of its meat . For low ranking adventurers, it was a delicious target in the literal sense .
「Gurururu~」
Set, who was looking at the Fang Boars, gave a cry .
Seeing them made him hungry, so he wanted to go hunt them . That’s what he seemed to say .
「It’s no good . Those Fang Boars have already been targeted by those adventurers . As expected, we can’t just steal their prey . 」
「Guru~……Gurururu~!」
I want to eat, I want to eat! Rei gave a wry smile towards Set, who seemed to want to say that as he turned his head back, before they gradually moved away from the adventurers who were aiming for the Fang Boars .
It wasn’t possible for the adventurers on the ground to have heard Set’s cry, but they raised voices of surprise as they pointed towards the Griffon flying in the sky . Rei noticed that, but ignored them as they continued to fly on .
Soon after, rushed by Set, they landed near a small river a short distance away . Rei took out the large basket of sandwiches that Arctos had given him .
「Here, just eat this and calm down . 」
Washing his hands in the river, Rei placed a few sandwiches on a large leaf instead of a plate and handed it over to Set .
「Ahh, this is cool and comfortable . 」
Rei muttered to himself after lowering his hood with his hands, which were still wet with the river water, as he breathed in the early summer air .
After moistening his throat with the cold water, he placed his hands back into the river and enjoyed the coolness for a minute before he heard Set give a cry from behind .
「Gurururu~」
Smiling at Set’s invitation to eat sandwiches with him, Rei stopped playing around with the water as he started to eat his sandwich alongside Set .
As expected of the sandwiches made by Arctos, every sandwich was made with time and effort . Rei and Set were both able to enjoy them deliciously .
……That said, most of the sandwiches were okonomiyaki sandwiches . In other words, Rei, who considered okonomiyaki to be a dish of its own, passed those sandwiches to Set while he ate the seafood salad sandwiches, chicken and vegetable sandwiches and boiled egg and bacon sandwiches himself .
After about 20 minutes, the 10 servings of sandwiches had all gone into the bellies of the two of them . After that, Rei took a break to eat some sweet and sour fruits, which were similar in sharp taste to mulberries, near the river for dessert . Set went into the river and used his forefeet to throw fish out of the water, which were cooked by Rei’s magic before being given back to him as a snack . By the time Rei had dried out Set’s fur, it had nearly been 2 hours .
「……Looks like we’ve been playing around for too long . 」
「Gurururu~?」
Is that so? Set seemed to ask as he tilted his head . Rei smiled, but if they kept playing around like this, they would end up having to stay the night here, so he called out to Set .
「If we keep going like this, it will take us too long to get back to Gilm . Let’s move a little faster from now . 」
「Guru~……Gurururu~!」
Even Set somewhat missed Gilm, so he easily nodded at Rei’s words and lay down on the ground so that Rei could get on his back .
