********************************************
Without even stopping to catch my breath, Angela and I ran into a safe zone somewhere in the middle of the Labyrinth Area.
I felt that we had been targeted by monsters several times during the journey.
But to be honest, we are not in a state of mind that is calm enough to fight them.
We lunged into a large room made as a safe area and sat on the floor with our backs against the wall.
After taking a deep breath, we looked at each other's faces and…
“...ha.”
We both started laughing at the same time.
If we were to check the map, we would know very soon that the boss did not leave the room.
But we didn't think at all to stop and check it out.
“Ahahaha, ah—we escape fast once!”
Angela laughed in a carefree tone.
“It's been a long time since I ran like if my life depended on my running. Well, you ran even worse than me!”
“…”
I can't deny it. Angela kept laughing looking at my pouting face.
It took quite a lot of effort for him to stop laughing; and then he said,
“...that, looks rather difficult.”
Angela said, her face becoming serious.
“Yes. It looks like he only has a large sword as his weapon, but he must have had a special attack as well."
“We have to send many attackers who have high defense and keep switching.”
“We may need about ten people with shields. Well, for now we just need to keep attacking him and see how he fights.”.
“Pe..rise.”
Angela looked at me while thinking.
“A-what's up?”
“You're hiding something.”
“What do you mean suddenly talking so..?”
“But something is strange. The biggest advantage of using one-handed swords is that it can hold a shield in the other hand. But I've never seen you wear it. If it were me, I wouldn't wear it because it would slow down my attack speed, and some people don't wear it because they're worried about their style. But you're not among the two. It's suspicious.”.
His words are very precise.
I have a hidden skill.
I never wear it in front of anyone else.
It was not only because skill was so important to be able to survive, but also because I thought it would make me look more conspicuous if anyone knew about it.
But, if he did, I think it would be fine…
I opened my mouth thinking about it.
“It's okay, it doesn't matter. After all finding out about the other person's skill was a bit disrespectful."
He just laughed at her.
Now that I have lost my chance, I can only mutter a few words in my mouth.
Then, Angela's eyes widened after confirming the clock.
“Ah, it's three o'clock. A little late, but let's have lunch.”
“What!?”
I can't hide my joy.
“A-What is handmade!?”
Angela smiled without saying anything and quickly manipulated her menu.
After putting away her gloves, she took out a small basket.
It turns out that there is one thing that must be lucky if you party with him when I think about it disrespectfully, Angela suddenly glared at me.
“...What bad idea did you just think of?”
“Ti-nothing. Instead of that, let's eat.”
Angela pouted, then she took two packs out of the basket and gave one of them to me.
A pepper-like aroma was smelled from the sandwich.
Suddenly I felt very hungry and I bit him voraciously.
“This...really-truly delicious..”.
I bit him two, three times at a time, and expressed my gratitude sincerely.
The shape looks like European food, like the food provided in an NPC restaurant, but it tastes different.
Slightly sour and sweet taste feels like a fast food in Japan that often
I ate it up to two years ago.
I bit the big sandwich quickly, feeling like I was going to cry for this long-held taste.
After finishing the last piece and sipping the tea Angela gave me, I finally sighed.
“How can you make a taste like this..?”.
“It was the result of one year's practice and experiment. I made it after analyzing the taste data of all the existing herbaaaaaaaaa.this is glogwa seed, shuble leaf, and calim water.”
While saying so, Angela took out two small bottles from the basket, opened one of them, and inserted her index finger inside.
His fingers came out together with an indescribable liquid that was sticky and purple in color.
Then he said,
“Open your mouth.”
I didn't know what it was, but when I opened my mouth out of reflex, Angela threw the liquid into my mouth.
The liquid went into my mouth and it surprised me.
“...It's mayonnaise!”
“This one is made of abilpa beans, sag leaves, and iransipi bones.”
The last one sounded like an ingredient for an antidote to poison, but before I could ask it another liquid entered my mouth.
It surprised me more than before. This is no longer the wrong soy sauce.
I was so hooked that I pulled Angela's hand and put her finger in my mouth.
“Kya!!”
He yelled and pulled his hand out while glaring at me.
But then he started laughing at the expression on my face.
“That's how I can create that flavor.”
“...that's amazing! Perfect! You can make a lot of money with this!"
To be honest, this sandwich tastes better than the Ragout Rabbit meat I ate yesterday.
“Be-Really?”
Angela smiled shyly.
“No, better not to sell. I can't let my part disappear.”
“Uwa, you are so greedy! …If you want, I'll make it again for you sometime.”
He said the last sentence quietly and leaned slightly on my shoulder.
As silence filled the room, I even forgot that this was on the front lines, where we fought at the risk of our lives.
If I could eat food like this every day, I could strengthen my resolve and move to Salemburg, right next door to Angela's house…
Unknowingly I started thinking like that and when I was going to say it.
Suddenly, there was a clattering sound from the armor indicating the arrival of another group of players.
We quickly put distance between
our.
I looked at the head of the party of six and relaxed my shoulders.
He is the katana-wielder I have known the longest in Martonegaran Castle.
“Oh, Damar! Long time no see!”
I stood up and greeted the tall man who walked here after recognizing me.
“You're alive, Klein?”
“Your mouth is still rough as usual. Why are you of all solo performers able to make par-ty…"
