「I see, you want to come back to eat Yuuri-neechan’s cooking.」
「Really? It’s not because you’re worried about whether I can do things properly, right?」
Rofas-san then tapped both my shoulders.
「Actually, I’m more relieved knowing that you’re here for them, Yuuri. Kurtz, Kirika, and Bryce too, they’ve been enjoying their time here ever since you came. They’re no longer just focused with grinding levels just to become an adventurer, so that’s good. I think it started happening after you came.」
Rofas-san said. Bryce-kun nodded strongly in agreement.
「That’s right. Yuuri-san’s food is delicious, yes, but even if she wasn’t making food for us, I think that Kurtz, Kirika, and I feel happier than before knowing that she’s here with us.」
Kirika-chan clung onto my right arm.
「Mhm. Kirika really likes Yuuri-oneechan! You’re so nice, and you smell good!」
Eh? I smell good…?
That’s, well, I haven’t exactly taken any baths, and I fell into a pond when I tried to grab lotus roots. Also, there’s the amount of meat I’ve been cooking… I probably smell like a lot of different things…
I lifted up my left arm and sniffed it… Uu, I don’t know what kind of smell this is supposed to be.
「If Kirika says so, it must be true. Bad humans stink, right?」
「Yes, that’s right.」
Ehh?! A, a bath! I want to take one, I don’t want to stink!
T-that’s right, I can use a fire magic stone and water magic stone to make hot water, just like when we did it for the boar skin!
I can buy both with potions, right? Then all I need is…
「【Contract: I want a bathtub – Trade for a makunouchi bento 】.」(*1)
「【Contract complete】.」
As soon as I asked, Rofas-san accepted the contract immediately.
「By the way, what’s a bathtub?」
Huh?
「Um, is it okay for you to agree to the contract despite not knowing what I was asking for?」
「Of course. I get a bento if I accept it, right? What’s a makunouchi bento? Do bento boxes have variations? I’m excited now.」
Um, a bathtub is… not a small hand tub but like a big one you can enter, I guess?
Except I don’t think a single bento is equivalent to something like that though…
After I explained to Rofas-san what a bathtub was, he said,「Ah, so something like a big wine barrel? I can get that for you right away.」I hoped that he wasn’t planning to make one for me.
「No fair! Kirika wants to eat a makunouchi bento too!」
「Kirika-chan, you’re going to be making the food together with me and Kurtz-kun, right? Of course, those who make it get to eat it too.」
I spread my arms out widely to give teary-eyed Kirika-chan and also Kurtz-kun a big hug.
